From the North Federal accounts of recent Fights — interesting particulars. We have received Northern papers of the 25th of March, which contain the details of news already published in our telegraph column, with other matters of interest: General summary. Intelligence has been received that immediately after the occupation of Newbern an expedition was sent to Beaufort, about forty miles south west of that place. When the expedition arrived it was discovered that the town had been evacuated by the Confederates, who before leaving had destroyed Fort Macon, the defence of the harbor, by blowing it up and burned the steamer Nashville Beaufort is situated at the mouth of Newport river a few miles from the see, and about 11 miles northwest of Cape Fear.

Mr. Fancey, besides his unfortunate record in regard to slavery, was not a man of the temperature and weight for England.--Judge Rost possesses neither the force nor fact requisite and strange to say he was distasteful of the French because of one of the very reasons for which he was appointed, viz; because he was a Frenchman. The French do not wish to be instructed about another by a Frenchman. Butler King, who represented the commercial interests of the State of Georgia, did what he could while here, but, in a matter of etiquette, some disagreement grow up between him and the others, who refused intercourse with him. "Since I have been here a rendezvous has been established by a large number of persons belonging to and in the interest of the South. It has embraced many French citizens of America. Not one of this col clave was, perhaps a man who himself exerted any great influence, but, as a whole, they have, in various ways, made themselves felt

mped at Pilot Knob, Mo., in September last. Our pickets were shot by some mysterious agency, and report stated, in camp, that a tall, heavy man, with flowing beard, mounted on an immense black stallion, fleet as the wind, was several times detected in the act of retreating. Shot after shot was fired after him, but he seemed to bear a charmed life. We lost sight of him until just before we left Cairo, when he appeared one night suddenly and shot two of our pickets. Again he appeared at Bacon creek, Ky., and burnt the railroad bridge under M' Cook's nose, shot one of his pickets, and rode off before the army had recovered from its surprise. You remember his bold attack upon our lines on Saturday, the 8th of March in Mitchell's division, and again on Sunday morning, at daylight, upon McCook's camp, on the Franklin pike. The very same Sunday, this Morgan, disguised as a countryman, and dressed in butternut-colored clothes, obtained a pass from Gen. Mitchell, who did not know hi

In the spring of 1854 they shipped on board the topsail schooner Stag, of which James D, Townsend was Captain and Danish Townsend mate, one a father and the other a brother of the above. They started for Cedar Keys, Florida coast, for the purpose of loading with timber, but upon reaching there, on the 25th of May, were seized by the Confederates, removed to Jacksonville, and then set at liberty. In the meantime the Stag was confiscated, and after the lapse of several months loaded with cotton, as was the schooner Anna Smith, and started for a market; but being observed by a Federal cruiser, both vessels were burned to the water's edge, the crews escaping.
