It is larger than your lovely town?contains about three thousand inhabitants?and in times of peace is noted for its business activity. This is owing to its railroad connection with Richmond, and the extensive "back country" whose trade it commands, and for which it furnishes supplies in return. It has, too, no Charlotte above it, throwing out its feelers for the produce and trade of the adjacent country, and thus sapping its prosperity. You must remember this when the war is over, and posh forward the "Dallas Connection" j to a successful issue. The energy of Warrenton is as warlike as it is trading; for it has given a very large proportion of well equipped volunteers to the Confederacy; and the ladies have done much to place the Hospital here in its present admirable condition. The second martyr Virginia gave to the cause of Southern independence, was a Warrentonian. We refer to the brave and genial Captain Marr, who fell in the skirmish at Fairfax, C. H.; and who is spoken of here in terms of the highest praise. The Mississippians have a Hospital of their own here. Besides this, both the Methodist Churches?called the Northern and Southern?and one or two other buildings have been converted to the uses of the sick and wounded soldiers, ine iauies visit wcm, and prepare them delicacies, and in many ways relieve the gloom of the sick chamber with the sunshine of their gentle and tender natures. We arrived here on Thursday evening in charge of I)r. Meek, who has typhoid fever, and to recruit, oureelf; yet in this short space he has had two or three visits with proffers to do anything for him we shall ask. ? j You are ready to ask why so small a towD should have two churches of the same de-j nomination. The answer is a sad comment j on the Pandora's box of evils whicb North-j ern fanaticism bad opened upon us before war. The dissensions in the Baltimore fVmfprenr>e on the "New ChaDter" reached the harmonious and prosperous church here, and put neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, father against son. But you must not infer that the "Northern church" is anti-southern ; for they have given thier elegant building as a body for a Hospital, and singly both by voluteering and contributing the "sinews of war," they have shown their sympathy with our cause. Although there are no visitors here now, exoept siok or convalescent soldiers, yet in other times this has been a place of considerable resort. From North and South they came in quest of health or pleasure.? The Warrenton sulphur springs are only a short ride distant; the blue peaks of the; mountains loom upon the vision ; and. in ' Summer the sweetest breezes, untainted by a speck of disease, whisper along the shady walks and avenues Those who have sick loved ones here, may well feel grateful. While down, they have good Hospital accommodations and tender nursiDg; aud when up they move amongst pleasant scenes and sounds, and kind faces, imparting a cheerful delight to the mind, and hastening their complete recovery.? Or, if they prefer, convalescents can go out to the Springs, where the Hospital has a department to receive them ; and tbey are, we are told, a most inviting and delightful place. So with a heart full of cheers for Warren ton, we are Briefly, OUR CORPORAL. Important from Pensacola. Mobile, October 9.?A special despatch to the Adocrtner, dated ct Pensacola, 9th, says that one thousand Confederates, uuder command of Gen. Anderson, crossed the Bay last night, and landed at Santa Rosa Island at 2 o'clock in the morning and stormed the camp of Billy Wilsou's Zouaves, burning and destroying every building except the hospital; also immense quantities of rations, stores and equipments, spiked the cannon, and effected a total destruction of the camp. The loss of the Confederates was forty killed and wounded. The loss of the enemy was very great.? Capt. Bradford, of the Confederates, killed. Lieut. Nelrus, of Georgia, was killed. Walter Bugler, of the Continentals, was desperately wounded, John Burgess was killed. Gen. Anderson was wounded in the arm and Lieut. Sayer in the hip. The list is imperfect, as it is impossible to get all the particulars. Our force engaged was composed of three companies of the Fifth Georgia Regiment, fourteen members of the Mobile Continentals, three companies of regulars, a detachment of Mississippians, a detachment of Georgians under Lieutenants Hallonquist and Nelms, two hundred Alabaniians, and a detachment of Navy officers and marines, under Captain Brent. Major Vodges, of the United States Army, is one among the numerous prisoners in our hands. Lieut Slaughter, of the Mobile Continentals, was captured while carrying a flag of truce ?! The victory is complete. Later.?Mobile, October 11. ? The I Advertiser and Register has a special ties-! patch from Pensaoola of the 10th, which eays that five companies of Mississippians were engaged in the fight at Santa Rosa Island, under command of Col. Chalmers, with Captains Benton, Mcgowan, Peak, and Miller; Lieuts. Watson, Myckle, Johnson, McGowan, Banks, and Smith. The casualties were three. Killed, Private W. E. Welbar; wounded. Captain Benton and private Stellman Day. The Georgia troops suffered severely. Col. Brown, commanding at Fort Pickens, treats the wounded kindly. The enemy have 22 of our men prisoners, including the wounded. Col. Brown will not respect our hospital. Dr. Foard, of the hospital, will not remove the sick till fired into. Sixteen of our dead have been brought over. The Florida regiment reports as follows : Killed, Tom Bond, Jas. Hale, Wm. Tillinghast. Wounded, William Denham, James Rekles, Thos. M. Sellier, and Sims.

The following correspondence has taken place between the Commander at Fort Pickens and Gen. Bragg : Headquarters, Dep't Florida, Fort Pickens, Oct. 9, 1861. Sir : I observe this morning, for the first time, a yellow flag hoisted over a large building directly in front of my batteries. I also understand that officers' wives aDd children are in the adjoining buildings. I do not maKe war on cue sick, women or children. The buildings will necessarily be exposed to my fire, should there be a bombardment, and they are besides subject under this flag to be used as protection to any of your troops that may take shelter behind or before them. I therefore give you this notice?that the sick, women, and the children, may be remoyed, so that if fired on the responsibility may rest where it belongs. I am, very respectfully, your obd't serv't, HARVEY BROWN, Colonel Commanding. Brig. Gen. Braxton Braqq. Commanding troops near Pensacola Headquarters, Troops C. S., Near Pensacola, Florida, October 10, 1861. Sir : I received late last night your communication of that date with profound astonishment. The building on which you had for the fir.>t time observed the yellow flag has been well known to you and to all your command, as well as to the U. States Navy, as the military hospital of this station, and you could not help knowing that it is now used for that purpose. Dealing with one who had been an old brother soldier of high reputation, I had hoped that our intercourse and conduct in j the hostile attitude in which we are placed would be marked by ail the courtesies and amenities of civilized warfare. But it seems from your communication that you claim the right to violate the hospital flag, because it may be abused. Admit this principle, and we revert to a state of barba???c.ro oirtlr f v? rv WAmon ??n oKii^POn UOUi* JL LIV- OlUAj I Ub nvui^u uuu vn?*v**w?f and the prisoners must become objects of vengeance, the white flag must be abolish ed, <iBeauty and Booty," "Rape and Rapiue" must follow in the track of a victorious commander. I decline your iuvitation to make these the subjects of war. Your hospital flag has been and shall be respected. In the affair of Tuesday night your hospital with its inmates was in our possession for at least one hour, and as far as I can le3rn, my orders to scrupulously respect both were rigidly enforced. Our hospital and the two adjacent buildlings occupied by medical officers will conjtinue to be used for legitimate purposes.? ! Nothing has been or will be done to attract I your fire. If under these circumstances I you should put your threat iuto execution, which would be only in accordance with j the acts of some of your brother commauders, of little experience in the custom of war, I shall take care that the fact shall be jmadekuown, that it may receive, as it will | deserve, the execration ot the civilized : world. 1 have the honor to be, jour obedient [servant, Braxton Bragg, Major General Commanding. Colonel Harvey Brown, Commanding United States forces in the State of Florida. Fort Pickens. Naval Engagement near New Orleans. New Orleans, October 12.?A naval engagement began this morning at 3.45, at the head of the Passes, which lastod an hour, and was again renewed at 9 o'clock, continuing for some time. The following message was sent by Commodore Hollius to the Naval Department: "Fort Jackson, 2 p. m.?Last night I attacked the blockaders with my little fleet, and succeeded, after a very short struggle, in driving them all aground at the South west Pass bar, except the Prrlle, which I sunk. I captured a prize from them, and after I get theui fast in the sand I peppered them well. No casualties on our side. It i was a comDlete success." r The enemy's force is represented to have been about fort)' guns, and nearly a thous and men, while our little mosquito fleet car ried but sixteen guns, anu about three hun dred men. It is reported that the iron steamer sunk the Preble with her steel prow. Commodore Hollies will arrive in this city at halfpast 9 o'clock to-night. Later. ?NewOrleans, Oct. 13.?The J prizes captured were the schooner Joseph j II. Leone and the Launch, belonging to Richmond, laden with cutlasses. ThevesJsel sunk was not the Preble, but the Vinj cennes. A quantity of lumber belonging I to the enemy, at the head of the Pass, was ! consumed by Src. j Three vessels of our expedition arrived here last night. | New Orleans, October 14.?The naval i expedition consisted of the Manassas ironclad marine battering ram, mounting one 64 Dahlgren; the steamer Calhoun, flag ship, one 24 and two 18 Dahlgrens; the ley, one 8-inch 32 rifled ; the Jackson, two jS inch Columbiads; the McCrea, one 64 j pivot, four 8-inch Columbiads, and ODe 32 ! rifled ; the cutter Pickens, one 8-inch Collutribiad and four 21 Carronades. j The blockading fleet consisted of the | Vincetincs, Prtble, Water Witch, and i schooner James E. Tnomt?in all fifty three guns. On Friday night the fleet started from Fort Jackson, the Manassas leading the way. The night was extremely dark. The j Maiiassas struck a vessel, and her iron prow entered near the bow of the enemy, cutting into her nearly twenty feet. An appaling c shriek was heard aboard the doomed ship, t Signal rockets were fired, and other ships ? beat to quarters, and a perfect iron hail fell v upon and around the Manassas?the ma- I chinery of wbioh became deranged. The i Tuscarora and Watson came up with five I fire barks, which were cut adrift on the ( stream, thereby causing a regular stampede. 1 When the morning came our fleet com- I menced a pursuit of the retreating enemy, I and heavy cannonading began. Several 1 shots struck the Richmond. The guns of 1 the Yankee vessels were badly aimed, as 1 not one shot struck our vessels. The firing J ended, our fleet returned to the oity with the prize schooner James E. Toome, loaded with coal, which vessel had been deserted during the night. A large quantity of lumber, intended for the construction of 1 fortifications at the head of the Passes, was i burnt. ( _ j Confederate Victory in N. Carolina. I Richmond, October 8.?The Enquirer i bulletin board has a despatch from Peters- i burg, stating that the expedition to Chickamacomico Beach was eminently successful, i under Col. Wright, of the Third Georgia I Regiment, who effected a landing last Saturday, and pursued the vandals twenty two miles, taking thirty-one prisoners, one 1 thousand muskets, six field pieoes and all J the tents ; together with provisions, shoes and stookings. The Confederate loss was one Georgian who fell dead double quieting it. Col. Wright had his horse killed under him. 1 Big Gun Fight at Columbus. Nashville, (via Mobile,) Oct. 9.?Passengers by this morning's train report that the Federal gun-boat Conestoya and a con- 1 sort, attaoked Columbus, Kentucky, on Monday morning, throwing 6bot and shell. The Confederate batteries replied, striking 1 the gun boat, knocking down her smoke stack, and otherwise severely injuring them. They retreated in a sinking condition. Nashville, Oct. 10.?Passengers to day report that Captain Johnson H. Morgan, with twenty seven men, had a skirmish 1 with the Lincolnites, eighty strong, at No- 1 len, on the Louisville road beyond Green 1 River, on the 7th. killing fourteen. Mor- 1 gao's loss was two- The Lincolnites fled. A special despatch to the Advertiser cfr ( Register, from Pensacola, the 9th, states that Lieutenant Slaughter, the bearer of the flag ox" truce, has been released. General Bragg witnessed the fight from headquarters and was much pleased. Nasaville, October 11, (via Mobile, 1 Ootobcr 12.)?A special dispatch to the 1 Union and American, from Bowling Green, J Ky., says that the Louisville Journal, of 1 the 8th, reports that Sherman has suoceed- 1 ed Sumter Anderson. Large bodies of 1 troops are passing through Louisville to Muldraugh's Hill. ] Fifteen Southerners whipped seventy-five | of the enemy, East of Cave City, killing ] three men and capturing thirty horses.? ( One Southerner was mortally wounded. , "*x ^ i - j. _ Oi Postmaster uenerai oiair nas gone 10 ot. < Louis, to look into Fremont's case. Price's Victory.?The Memphis Ap- i p<"al says it has a letter written at Columbus < on the 29th, which states that information j had been received at Cairo, to the effect i that the Lincoln General Prentiss, who was i going to the relief of Mulligan with 1,500 i men, was captured, with his entire command, by a force of 5,000 sent out by Gen. Price to intercept him. The enemy's loss at Lexington is given at 1,800 killed and wounded, and 2,400 prisoners. Affairs along the Potomac.?Fair- ' fux Court House, October 10, 1861.?I have nothing new to add. Matters remain in statu jmo. All the sick and heavy baggage have been sent to the rear, and our j army, in light marching trim, rests patient- j ly on its arms awaiting an advance of the \ enemy. Scouts report that the Federals, j seventy five thousand strong, have crossed the river and are now occupying, with their ( liues, all of Fairfax county up to Accotink Bridge. The signs point unmistakeably to an advance and a battle within a few days. ? Richmond Examiner. X. The Bermuda and the Blockade. The fact of the British steamer Bermuda runuiug the blockade of Savannah is pub licly given out. It is said to have proceeded from Lord Lyons' dinner table, where it was detailed by a person from Thompson, i Connecticut. Her freight is said to consist of 70 tons powder, Enfield rifles, 50 rifled cannon, 60,000 pairs shoes, large quanti- i ties of clothing, blankets, quinine, and morphine. Remonstrances against her completing her cargo and sailing were made by , Minister Adams in London, bat the Foreign Office did not feel at liberty, or see their obligations, to arrest her unlawful voyage. ?ft> ?

McClellan has an army of one huudrcd and twenty thousand infantry, ten thousand cavalry j and one hundred batteries. He is waiting D ? to drill the two latter arms of the service. J A general attack is not contemplated until the middle of November. His policy is to advance in three columns, a mile at a time, and to fortify as he proceeds. ' Several tons of bales soaked in turpen- 5 tiue have been provided, with which the troops intend burning the woods after the 1 leaves have fallen. Their object being first to smoke out masked batteries; second to j illuminate in case of a night attack. j Fort Ellsworth aud other fortifications ( have been mined.
