Since the-disastrous affair at Bull Run the ~ Unionists fave béen depressed, and to remote the depressions ‘glorious victory has been needed.

It is reported that about two hundred Ma. ryland rebels-captured a schooner in the Patuxent river and forged the owner. to take make their way across into Virginia. The fleet ‘of transports that was detained to unload. 7 D. Davis, of Illinois, and Jos. Holman are appointed on the commission to examine and . audit claims against thé Government, created in Gen. Fremont’s department. An evidence that the. falling back of the rebels at Fairfax wassudden and unexpected is furnished in the fact that they set up telegraph polesand stretched the wire upon them from Fairfax to Fall’s Church, and only ¢ompleted the work on Thursday previoas to the Sunday when our troops advanced. They move: the poles. ‘is alleged that even bow pap sa ularly received in Alexandria and other points South. Doubtless the arrest of ‘spies recently, wilt taake these mails irregilar.

Nearly all the votes were given for 8. F. Beach who Congress will of course decide upon the validity of the election. The World’s dispatch says that an, impression is being circulated that Col. Baker exceeded bis instructions, and did -not retreat as ordered, when he fyund the enemy in overWhelining strength. Capt. Young; of his regiment; says: there was ho possible way of retreat save by swimming the Potomac. — The only flat by which they got.ever had been sunk.° His disaster is attributed. to the want of transportation. The order given by Gen. Stone to Colonel Baker was picked up with hie hat, out of which it had fullen,. covered with blood and brains. It is in the city. The horses and mules of the army are on short allowance. It is not possible for the railread to keep the forage department supplied. In the construction of a railroad from here to Nottingham, on the Patuxent, twenty miles of rails and sills borrowed from some unused road would lay the track speedily. _Col. Craig has been detailed as President of the Army Retring Board, instead of Col. Cook. St. Lovis; Get. 25th.—A graitenin from, Gen.

Some 47 dead bodies were buried yesterday, by permission of the rebels. Probably 50 more were drowned in attempting te eross the river, ‘and 400 or 500 are prisoners. A special dispatch to the N. Y. Evening Pest says, the War Department is preparing an official list of losses at the Leesburg bat-. tle. It willbe published as soon as possible, byt a gréat-deal of difficulty is experienced in obtaming complete reeords of the killed, _weanded and missing. ‘ah ats 1 a8 ae of rebels which have b the.country here are ccucentratiig ‘at Springfield. Also, that part of Price’s army had arrived there and the balance was soon expected. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25th.—The Herald’s dispatch aays the Rev. T. W. Conway, chaplain of the 9th N. Y. regiment, now ut Hatteras Inlet, has been sent by Woel with information to the Government in reference to the loyal people of Hyde Cg, North Carolina. He brings with him a deelaration of Inde pendence addpted by the leading men of that county, in Convention at Hatteras Church, in which they declare themselves free and It isa part of Conway’s mission to seleet arms for the Union mea who only wait for means and opportunity to strike a death blow to the despotism by which they have been suppressed. The President has promised to use his best effort to protect them and provide them with eves pons, Commodore McKeans dispatches are received at the War Department, from the Mississippi mouth. Captain Rope, of the Richmond, ribet two feet below the water line and five inches in circumference. \At the first alarm the crew cooly repaired to quarters, and as the Ram passed abreast the Richmond the entire . port battery was discharged.at her, but with what effect it was impossible to discover 10 the darkness. A red light was shown as a signal of danger and the squadron was under weigh in avery few moments. The mound covering the retreat, the Preble over the bar while the Vincennes Richmond grounded. The enemy ing down the river with fast s the fire from our pest batteries and rifled gun, on the poop. Our shot, however, falling short,.while every sheil burst on all sides of ag~“and several passed directly over the ship. .At half-past nine o’clock. Commander . Handy, of the Vincennes, mistaking my signal to the ships outside the bar, to get under weigh, fora signal for him to abandeh his ship,.came on board of the Richmond with all his officers and a large number of his crew, the remainder having gone on board the Water Witch. Commander Handy before leaving his ship had placed a lighted slow match at ‘the magazine. Having watched a reasonable time for an explosion, I directed Cotmander, Handy to return to his ship with his crew to start his water pipes, and if necessary, at his 6wn for the purpose of lightening the ship and to carry out*his kedge with a cable to heave off with. At 10 a. m., the enemy ‘cauttien wel withdrew up the river. During the engagement a shell entered our port. One of our boats was stove in by another. Capt. Pope reports the Richmond. and Vincennes both afloat, and the leak of the former so reduced that small engines kept her free. This is only temporary and the ship will have to go te seme place and have three planks put in. Could I have possibly managed the. ship in any other way than by keeping her head up and down the river, I could have stopped at Pilot Town*and given battle, but this was found hazardous, owing to her extreme length. tan aiaeremeucinin ee running the ship ashore. Wasureron, Oct. 27th.—Sinee the encounter at Ball’s Bluff, the rebels have been emboldened and are again reported to be at Fairfax Court House, in full forte The object of the Government is to be in position to protect their army towards Leesburg. , Several merchants, Congressmen, are here consulting with the Cabinet as to the candi-tion of the war amagg them.
