Lynchburg, Nov. 13.
The Western train, due this morning, arrived
to-night, bringing through mail with dates as late
as Knoxville, 10th.
Passengers say the reported damage done by
the Union men has been exaggerated.
Knoxville has been placed under martial law.
Forty-five prisoners, taken by Floyd’s com
mand, arrived on the train. A portion of them
was taken while holding a recent election in the
North-West. Poll book also captured with the
names of voters, Ac.

Yankee troops continue to pour into Kentucky,
A regiment from Western Virginia arrived at
Louisville on tho 4tb; two Ohio regiments start
ed from Cincinnati for Louisville on the sth; ten
regiments from Ohio, Indiana and the North*
were expected to arrive in Louisville last week.
Madisonville, Hopkins county, was oocupied
by 1,000 Federals on the 10th. Southern men
were compelled to fly to avoid arrest.
Robert Bunker, ex-Mayor of Mobile, and An
drew Lowe, merchants, arrested in Cincinnati,
and were taken to Fort Warren, Boston harbor
on the sth, by order of Seward. Both gentle
men, recently returned from Europe, were ar
rested on suspicion of having important informa
tion for the rebels.
The Washington correspondent of the Phila
delphia Bulletin says he has assurances from
most authentic sources, that Lincoln has in
formed several 'gentlemen high in authority,
that the army will not go into winter quarters,
but forward movements have been determined
on and will take place at the ’proper time.
The New York World in speaking of the Na
val Expedition, says though it is manifestly not
the intention of the Lincoln government to at
tempt yet the capture of large Southern ports,
thinks Mobile, New Orleans and ..Savannah
could be taken without a great expenditure of
blood, but the retention of those cities or any
of them, would be a much more serious matter.
A a lodgment on an Island or serirs of Islands,
commanding important harbors, with a view to
future operations is manifestly the object of the
expedition.
One of Cheatham’s staff reports an engage
ment on Monday, beyond Mayfield, between
Bower’s, Bonham’s and Martha’s Regiments and
2,000 Federals, the latter were routed and pur
sued to Paducah. No particulars. Confederates
in position beyond Paducah.
The Fleet off Ship Island.
The New Orleans Crescent, in its “Talk on
Change,” has the following item:
There was intelligence received yesterday Os
twenty-four sail of the Hessian vessels being in
Ship Island harbor on Tuesday. This number
was counted through a good telescope from the
lookout at Mississippi City. Flats and scows
appeared to be engaged in transporting mate
rials from the vessels to the shore near the light
house on the Island. This is supposed to be
the advance of the great fleet intended for the
Gulf. It is reasonable to suppose that some
thing like a simultaneous attack is intended at
three or more points. This can easily be carried
out when it is taken into consideration that be
tween two hundred and seventy-five and three
hundred vessels, including vessels of war, steam
ers and transports, composing the supposed great
armada. Leaving forty-two vessels at Port
Royal, they can ccrme to New Orleans, Mobile
and Pensacola with two hundred and fifty. In
the meantime our authorities are preparing, and
.we can only say to the Hessians, come on.
The Yankee Expedition down the Mississippi.
The expedition destined for operations down
the Mississippi fs to consist not only of gunboats
but of floating batteries, #rhich are thus describ
ed in the Peoria, 111., Union:
“They are of solid timber, twelve inches square,
and lying in three tiers of timber deep. This is
is strongly bolted together, and forms the hull of
the vessell. Wells are cut through the upper
tiers, about four and a half feet square, and lined
with zinc to keep out the water. These wells
serve for magazines, or places for keeping the
ammunitioß. There are four of these in each
boat. The solid platform is 60x25 feet, being
sharpened. The whole is covered with a thick
plank. Entirely around the outside of the float
is a parapet or bulwark of iron, three-eights o
an inch in thickness and six and a half feet in
height. This is inclined upward, so as to give a
glancing direction to any shot that may strike
it. The armament of these floats is to consist of
six 64-pound mortars, three upon a side, and so
arranged as to deliver their charges over the iron
parapet that surrounds them, and which protects

those who serve them. There are 38 of these
monstrous batteries to be built, 26 of which are
nearly ready for use, and the remainder are be
gun. There is no machinery on board of them
for locomotion, but it is intended to tow them
by means of gunboats.
To the Seaboard.
Now is the time for a general rising of the peo
ple. Let them come forward. Every brave
young man, every vigorous citizen, let him rush
to the seaboard to swell the ranks of someone of
the hundreds of gallant companies which are
pushing forward. We must not let the enemy
take foothold on the soil. Our wives and daugh
ters must not suffer the horrors which Maryland
and Virginia have been compelled to endure.
Their miseries have wholly arisen from the fact
that they were too slow. Let us not be slow.
We have been too slow long enough. Let us
meet the enemy wherever they land ; never fail
to meet them. All that our boys want is the op
portunity. The will make the teeth meet in the
flesh ! Let us fight as soon as possible. Wa3te
no time in idle ditch and earth works upon the
islands, except the all important James Island.

The Great Republic.
The Raleigh Standard, of last Saturday, in
an article on the storm abd the Armada, says:
On Sunday morning last, two large ships
were discovered, one a steamer and the other
supposed to be the Great Republic, beached
near Kill Devil Hills, on Currituck Shore, about
ten miles north of Roanoke Island. The break
ers were dashing over the vessels, and several
others of the fleet stood off firing, either signal
guns of distress or to keep away the wreckers*
The Standard also states that articles to the
value of one hundred thousand dollars will be
saved from the wreck of the steamship Union*
including Sharpe’s Rifles, cartridges, horses, two
rifled cannon, 800 blankets, her engines, <tc. &o.
The vessel herself was a total wreck.
is reported that a Federal fleet is off
Mobile. We are inclined to think this true, as it
has been somewhat of a mistery what had be
come of the other ships, not much more than
one-half the fleet boing engaged in the attack
on Port Royal. The time since its sailing is
about sufficient for its appearance at some Gulf
port.
The Loss of the Enemy.—A negro man on
Hilton Head, the property of General Drayton,
seeing a number of officers approaching a small
house on the Island, unobserved concealed him
self underneath. The officers entered, took seats
and discussed at length the events of the battle>
which occurred the day previous. In the course
of the conversation, the negro says, they reckon
ed up their killed in the action, and fixed it at
forty, nearly three times the Confederate loss.
Near Grahamvillb, S. C. i
Oct, 30th, 1860. j
Messrs. E. C. Wade & Cos.:
Gentlemen —l send you by ic-day’s train five
bales of hay my own growth. On Wednesday
la3t I put seven hands to pulling grass. They
pulled, I think, about six thousand pounds of
dried grass, Os this I had some seven hundred
pounds of crow foot, which was low and pulled
up by the roots. The balance was green crab
grass, which broke off from one to two feet
above the ground, and which you will find very
clear of dirt, roots, &c.
I find a hand can pull about four hundred
pounds per day, of crowfoot, and two thousand
pounds of crab grass, by letting them break off
only the tops, (which seems the best parts.)
On Thursday I pulled with my whole force
on this plantation, (Turkey Hill,) and if we
get three more fair days, (say by Saturday
night next,) I hope to have four hundrrd bales
altogether, of hay, as good as the best I send
you—each bale weighing five hundred pounds
net. I mean to say, I expect to have that
quantity cured and stacked.
The blessed blockade, if it only lasts long
enough, will have been the m«?ans of opening a
new epoch in the history of Southern farming.
Two months ago I would have giveri Away
cheerfully, to any one, all the grass I had—l diu
not value it at all, because before I opened my
fields to my stock the frost had always destroyed
it. All the corn, cotton, fodder, peas, and po
tatoes grown on this place will not exceed ten
thousand dollars, Experiments and calcula
tions recently made, have satisfied me that if I
had commenced curing hay three months ago, I
should, from it alone, have realized, valueing it
at one dollar and twenty-five cents per hundred
lbs., over thirty thousand dollars.
The value of the corn and cotton sinks into
insignificance in comparison. I take it Yankee
dom will never more sell much hay at the South.
Please write me as soon as possible and let me
know the faults of preparation, if any, before I
pack or gather any more.
Yours truly, and in haste,
W. F. ROBERT.
