. The Richmond Enquirer, of the 1 1th
inst, just received here, has an account of
the confiscations of estates and property
ia Virginia, which have occurred under
the terms of the recent sequestration act
of the rebel Congress, since the 30th of
September. The aggregate value of the
property thus confiscated owned by North
ern citizens or loyal Virginians, is esti
mated at SS00.000. Among the sufferers
are the following persons named in the
Enquirer's list :
Augustus belniont, of New York, who
loses 500 hhds. tobacco, valued at $23,
000; Roads, Savrey & Faranh, of Nor
folk, C Merfry & Co., of New York.
Checkering Si Sons, of Boston. Phe last
named house loses a large stock of pianos
in the hands of lheir agents in Richmond.
Also an estate owned by W. C. Rives,
Jr.. of Boston, consisting of 8,000 acres
fine land, fully stocked with negroes, live
stock and implements and another estate
owned by Francis Rives, of New York
City, also containing 8,000 acres and
stocked with slaves; another large estate
of 800 acres, belonging to Mr. Sigourney
of New York City, with its negroes and
live stock, have been confiscated. The
rebel auhorities have appointed agents to
take charge of these estates and to pay
me it-venues arising mereirom into tne
rebel treasury.

Washington, Oct. 17.
It was a brilliant affair yesterday.
Colonel Geary, with one thousand men,
grossed tlie Potomac ut Bulivor, near
Harper's Ferry, and routed two or three
thousand rebels, charging them with the
bayonet, driving them three miles, and
capturing a thirty-two pounder, upon
which Colonel Geary wrote his dispatch.
The rebel loss in killed and wounded is
one hundred and fifty. Our losss was
four killed and ten wounded one mor
tally. Baltimore, Oct. 17.
A gentleman from near Harper's Fer
ry, furnishes the particulars of a fight
between six companies, consisting of parts
of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania, Third
Wisconsin, and Thirteenth Massachusetts
regiments, under command of Col. Geary,
and 300 rebels.
Early yesterday morning the rebels
showed themselves on Bolivar Hights, at
Harper's Ferry, and commenced an at
tack from artillery, with companies, under
Major J. P. Gould, stationed on the north
side of the Potomac.
A constant fire was kept up for some
hours, when three companies of the Third
Wisconsin crossed the river, formed into
line and drove the enemy back and suc
ceeded in capturing on of their heavy
guns. They were, however, compelled
to retreat, which they did in good order
to the river. Here they w ere reinforced
by three other companies, and they then,
with Colonel Geary at their head, march
ed upon the enemy, and after hard fight
ing, drove them from their positions, and
recaptured the thirty-two pounder a co
lumbiad. Our forces had but three pieces of ar
tillery, and these were fired from this
side of the river until the enemy retreat
ed. The enemy had seven pieces of ar
tillery and 500 cavalry, together with
their infantry, and were completely
routed and driven back some three miles.
Our loss in killed and wounded is not
over seven, while that of the enemy is at
least 150. Col. Ashley, who was at the
head of the rebels, is among ihe killed.

The great naval expedition that has

It is impossible to give a full li;t of the

It is reported that Price had made a

f 1 -v y-. n am
rom usceoia, with JU,UUU well armed
nd drilled Confederate troops, and a
arge force of irregular militia.
On the arrival of Fremont at Warsaw,
the .opposite bank of the Osage was
lined with the horsemen of the enemy.
These were dispersed by a few rounds of
cannister. Fremont had begun prepara
tions to lay a pontoon bridge when the
messenger left, and it was supposed his
forces would be over the river on Wed

Fremont was determined to push on with
the .utmost vigor, and wojld probably

horses in the squadron; nine-tenths of
which are in Coptain Patrick's company.
I believe all his company have horses,
while most of Companies B and C are cd
foot. I have a fine, large, white horse,
and have no reason to complain person
ally, but I feel deeply any partiality a
monor men of equal merit. I desire no
change for myself I occupy the best po
sition I could to become acquainted with
the Company and squidron, .and the na
ture of all the duties of the service in
the squadron. I feel glad that themcn
i
in our company came in as patriots ana
not ofilce-seekers. It will be singular if
thev do not have their reward. We have
men among us who are in the ranks,
honest, faithful, and competent to fill any
position in the company.
I feel a little proud for Nemaha coun
ty, not only on account of the numbers,
but also of the character of the men.
You can easily judge the position when
I say our men have nearly half the offi
cers in the company, aside from the com
missioned ohicers, and there seems to be
a universal feeling that our men ought
to have one of those. As the "greatest
good to the greatest number" is the true
theory, although it may not suit one or
two as well just at the moment; I am sat
isfied it is the safest and best way in the
long run. There is no growling among
us to speak of, oll are cheerful, and ap
parently happy. We live like fighting-
cocks. Our rations are ample and good
Nine-tenths of people at home live poor
er than we do.
Few are sick, but nonfc, in fact who
who do not eat almost their whole ra
tions. The Quartermaster is still buying hor
ses, Not being able to speak officially,
I will say nothing about the way some
things are managed. I would prefer the
position of a private with his honorable
prospects, to the higher position of some
others with their future prospects, if jus
tice is done to all, as I believe it will
be.
I send you herewith a list of the mem
bers of our company, except a few who
have joined us recently. C. II Gibbons's
name I see wa3 omitted accidentally, I

We came here about xioon, and are
