Failure Of the Expedition up the Roa-
noke River-Rebel Accounts Of the
Disaster-RepOrted Loss Of Six Cum
boats-The DOubIe-Ender OtsegO
From the Richmond Sentinel, Jan. g.


From the Richmond Sentinel, Jan.
The Yankee gunboat movement up the
Roanoke river resulted, as is known, very
adversely From an interview with
deserving and efficient officer from that
locality we gather someinteresting items,
which We present to our readers. The
expedition comprised twelve gunboats
and several bargcs, the latter of twenty
oar. each. Two of the barges, which
went ahead as torpedO-hunters, were Wig
orously attacked by our sharpshooters,
and lost thirty-one killed. The crews
then displayed signal of surrender; but
before the barges could be secured gun
boat approached and shelled our forces 50
furiously as to compel the relinqoish,
ment of their prizes, which drltted
down the river to the gunboats. The
haroes exploded several of our tor
nedoes. but failed to clear the river.
The gunboats continued their progress,
when several of them were blown up.
Deferred by these losses, and by the haz-
ard of still greater, they then beat re-
treat to GAINESVILLE, twelve miles above
Plymouth Up to the last dates only SIX
ofthe twelve boats had returned Their
officers stated to the citizens of Williams
port, TWENTY-FIVE miles below Fort
Branch, that they had lost four of their
boats by torpedoes When asked where
the other two were, they made no reply.
They also admitted the loss Of one thou
sand men. Admitting their statement,
which is believed to be true, we can ac-
count for the other two missing boats
The officer in charge of the torpedo force,
in reconnoitering, discovered sunken
boat of which no one was aware, and cut
from her about fifteen feet of her board
ing-nettings, of very large size. The
sixth boat was sunk by our light field
battery. Among the gunboats DESTROYED
was the powerful Otsego, double ender,
bearing fourteen eleven-inch guns, and
manned by a crew of three hundred,
reinforced by the same number
of infantrymen. -Four of her men, who
were picked up at different times, all
agreed that of the six hundred men on
board not more than sixty escaped with
! life from the wreck A worthy and reli-
able mechanic, who was pressed into the
Yankee service to make cotfins for the
officers and boxes for the men tshed up
from the wreck, declares that up to the
time of his release over two hundred had
been made, and shipped to Plymouth
the men TO be buried there, and the Jffi-
GERS to be sent to the United States. The
work of fishing up the dead was still be,
ing prosecuted Many of the bodies OF
those blown upon the different boats had
hoated down to GAINESVILLE. Thus has
resultd an expedition doubtless designed
for the reduction of Fort Branch and the
capture of Halifax.

sanguinary Character of State Diff
entities i'm the South.

New YORK, Jan. Late rebel dis
patches show that the fight of the JEFF.
Davis and anti-Jeff. Davis factions Is
constantly growing more sanguinary.--
The lines between them are now strictly
drawn. Those opposed to Davis accuse
him in the most open and vehement man
ner of being the cause of all their recent
disasters, and they in turn are charged
by Jef's organs with destroying conf
dence in the ability of the cOnfederates
to achieve independence, preventing the
full enforcement of eonscription, aud en-
couraging deserters.

The Richmond WING on English Pro-
tection-The Yankee Monitors I'm.
yiuCibIP

New YORK, Jan. Tho Richmond
Whig, in an article on England, says she
has no ships that COnld encounter the
Yankee Monitors with any prospect of
success, and although she might build
such vessels, the probability is that they
could not cross the ocean. She could not
even break up the blockade, far less send
an army and fleet here to assist us. 1t is
therefore hardly worth while to think of
returning to English vassalage.

General sheridan Destroys Property
at Upperville and Middlebury.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA letter from
Loudon Co, Va, dated the Sd, says that
a cavalry force from General Sheridan's
army visited the neighborhood of Up
perville and Middlebury on the 9th ult.,
and destroyed and carried away con-
siderable amount of property belonging
to secessionists of that neighborhood. A
few days ago another party of Union cav
airy entered the county from Fairfax and
made several arrests of disloyal resi-
dents. A brigade of cavalry and artillery
has been stationed near Lovellsville--
Gen. Derin is in command of the brigade.
Winter quarters are being erected and it
is probable that this force will remain in
the vicinity of Lovellsville during the
winter.

tured an entire brigade of cavalry and
six hundred wagons. The population of
middle Tennessee and Northern Alabama
is thoroughly aroused, and every man

hurrying to join our army. Ten compan-
les were formed at Huntsville in week.
The place had been taken possession of
by the Yankee regiments from Point
Peak, but Rhoddy had been ordered to
retake and hold it at all hazards. Ten
gunboats came up the Tennessee river,
and attempted to cross Muscle shoals
Rhoddy had attacked them, destroying
one, and probably another. The remain
der were injured. Forrest had been made
acknowledgement.
