A loval Virginian, from Frenerick
county, who reached Washington City on
Weudesday, reported that all the free
colored, men in Frederick county are
bcinrr cressed into the rebel service as
fast as they can be found and taken, and
that they are imprisoned in the jail at
Winchester until a sufficient number are
got together, and are then forwarded to
Masassas Junction to work en the forti
fications in that vicinity, or perform oth
ci service as they are required. Every
.able bodied man under fifty years of age
was being seized end put into the ranks,
and, so far as he was able to learn, there
had been no exception to this.
' He speaks of a Quaker earned Denny,
who .was notified to appear at headquar
ters and take up arms. He refused to
obey the summons, and a guard was sent
to bring him in. He was brought before
a military court and was there asked the
.grounds of his refusal. He replied that
he was loyal to" the United States Gov-;
ernment, and as a member of the Society
'of Friends, was opposed to war. He
was told that he would make friends b
foin into, the Confederate service, and
would, without doubt, obtain a position of
ra.uk and good pay. He replied that he
was opposed to the Confederate Govern
ment rrom principal, and that every dollar-
he received from the Confederate
Government would burn in his pocket,
and that he would not touch a dollar of it.
It was apparent that he would be useless
a a soldier expressing himself as boldly
as he did and he was assigned to the
disagreeable duty, under compulsion, of
seeking out the free negroes of the coun
try aboubt, to have them impressed into
the. service.
Gen. (formerly Colonel) Jackson, who

Dispatches received to-day at the JNavy
Department from flag officer Dupont, da
ted Port Royal, Nov. 25, gives the grat

The following is the Philadelphia En
quirer's Pensacola report: Passengers by
a flag of truce from Norfolk to Ft. Mon
roe. Nov. 27, furnish further news re
garding the fight at Ft Pickens. The
particulars, it must be remembered, come
through a rebel source. uen. liragg
had not made a breach into the fort, as
W8s before reported. Great excitement
was prevalent throughout the South re
specting the battle, but it was thought
Bragg wonld be able to make Brown sur
render. A message arrived from Pen
sacola on Sunday last, with a peremptory
order for reinforcements. Bragg at that
time was hopeful of an easy success, and
was replying at intervals cn the Fortress
with great effect. Hie regular salvos
are described as being truly terrible.
The General was perfectly cool and con
fident. No breach had yet been made,
but on Monday one would be manifest,
when Brag expected reinforcements, and
would storm with fresh troops and ord
nance. Col. Brown had concentrated a
perfect storm of shot and shell upon the
Navy Yard, and had burned it down to
gether with all the out buildings, and a
considerable amount of ordnance stores.
Pensacola had been evacuated'by order
m. -w V v. r
of lien, liragg. Col IJrown had called
to his assistance five vessels of war, all
of which had been driven off by the bat
teries. The frigate Niagara had been
riddled by shot. The steamers Colorado
and Monongehela were disabled. Col.
Brown had declared to his troods that he
would never surrender alive, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed among the
men. Oa Tbesday Bragg would engage
Col. J3rown in front, and land a large
force on the island so as to taka him in
the rear, aud it is generally believed by
Union men that an action has taken placs
at Pensacola between our forces and the
rebels and that Bragg has been whipped
and his whole force captured. The dis
ratches in the bouthern papers have no
apparent end or beginningg and are very
meagre.

Secretary of the Navy, in his report,
after mentioning the capture of Mason

cisive action of Capt. Wilkes merited and
received emphatic approval of the Nany
Department, and if a too generous for
bearance was exhibited by him in not

New York, Nov. 25.
The Tribune has the following dis
patches from Washington : The great in
terest which the War will give to the
annual report of Secretary of War, will
be heightened by Mr. Cameron's dis
tinct avowel cf bis policy cf placing arms
in the hands of slaves who are willing
to use them for the cause of the Union.
He will support this by argument and his
torical references, and show that his had
ing position upon tha vital question has
been deliberately and strongly taken as
a foretaste of the administration hereaf
ter of the War Department until the end
of the rebellion.
The public will learn with interest
that Mr. Cameron will appeal to Con
gress and the Governor's cf States au
thorized, to bind the government to prac
tice the closest economy, and will stern
ly require economy and accouutability
from every subordinate in the War De
partment and army in the field. Enor
mous as the expenses of the War will be,
it will not be permitted to bankrupt eith
er the Government or the people,
Mr. Cameron's report will, also, prob
ably contain recommendations that will
go far to abolish the distinctions between
regulars and volunters. Among these
there will be the repeal of the regula
tion which confers rank on the regular
officer over the volunteer of the same
grade, leaving it to be determined by se
niority according to date of commission.
