GORDON'S EXPEDITION—A TNOUDLOUE TABK TWO-TUIRDS PENFORMED. New York Times. Intolligence has just beon recoived from Col. Gordon, which statos that up to tho 15th of De- opember Iast military etationa had boen formed at Lardo, Rogoots, Dodden, * Korrl, Moogl, and othor places. Moogl wse named aftor s sub-tribo of tho Barris, and they bad on two occasions attacked nnd destroyed partles "pasa- ing throngh their country. At thia station Col. Gordon was joined by n_party coming in from Patiko; accompanied by Liusut (brother to M. Linaut, who had sccompanicd the expedi- tion as Interpretor, but diod from foyer sliortly before this), who had met Alr. Btanloy o M'Tesa’s, and who carriod dirpatches from that oxplorer. Ho doscribed M'Tesa as boing as un- mitigated a savage as ovor, putting to daath ten to twenty people daily. Enhaen}uuntly Col. Gordon crossed from tho right to tho loft Lank of tho Nilo with a forco of thirty mon. Tho Boogt tribe bent thoir drums, and collected to the number of about three hundred, and as Col. Qordon wont further inland they attacked his g:nrty. but were repulsed, Two days lator innut was ecnt with forty-nino ofticers aund mon to dnve back tho loatilo nation, it boing foarod that thoy might moleet tho ateamer, whict waa In 6 DArrow passago botwoon a long Island snd the right bank of tho river. Thoy started early In tho morning, and in the aftornoon a number of nativos were seon running in pur- smt of gome of the party, wholad pmbnblr beon gurronnded or &:L geparated, Linaut foll with two spoar wounds through the neck and back, and only four of the party returned. At this time Co), Gordon Lad only thirty mon and s nomber of women and children with him, and ho thoraforo recroatod to tho noxt station down tho river. After this sad affair the rteamer got on gome rocks, which causod a delay of threo wooks, when tho force atarted for Labore, 24 miles higher up the Niles sud on tho 17th of October, wheu about 6 miles from Dufill, HEARING A DUSUING BOUND, Col. Gordou crept to the odge of tho precipleo, and saw the river rushing down an incliue of ono in six at shont ten knots an hour. It waa evi- dent that he could uos get the stenmor up thaso rapids into the Lako Albort. This was a groat blow to the Colonel, who would have great trou- blo to organize » portage for 2 miles, and for this service he sont for fifty camols, At this time, to mako mattors worso, tho Arab doctor and interproter died, and Col. Gordon bad to converse with the natives by means of slgny and tha ald of & dictionary, o roturned to Dufllt, * and, finaing it unheafthiy, removed to & now sta- t1on 9 miles off on the Unyams River, whora bo was only two days from Fatiko, tho Nuodir of which was groatly rejoicod nt thus fiuding bimeelf placed in communication with tho world sftor four years' cxie.
