TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. [ASSOCIATED PREsS DISPATCHES.) PARTICULARS OF THE DESTRUCTION OF PORTE-AU-PLATTE. NEw Yonrx, Nov. 1.—The brig Santiago, from Porte-au-Platte on the 6th of October has ar- Tived at this port. The Hamburg and Bremen consuls at Porte- au-Platte were passeiigers to New York. It appears, from the information received here from San Domingo, that after the destruc- tion of Santiago, the Spanish garrison, with 2,000 reinforcements retreated to Porte-au- Platte. Theinsurgents so much harrassed the Spaniards as to cause a loss to them of 1,200 kiliedand wounded, Fresh arrivals of troops reinforced them to 4,000 men: yet even these were confined to the town by the efforts of not over 1,060 insurgents. This continued until the 2a of October, when the Spanish troops re- turned to the fort. The town was given up to illage. A part of the Spanish force embarked for San Vomingo, reducing the garrison to 1,500 men. On the 4th inst. the Spaniards in pill the town, and the Dominicans coer ee hand. arly all ,the Powses and stores were eaten, the mat romance ot destroyed. Six hundred Spaniards then sallied from the fort. After a severe fight they drove the Dominicans from the town. fhe Span- iards were assisted by guns trom the fort, which set fire to the town. The fire was continued until the departure of the Santiago, destroying valvaple stores. A considerable body of foreign mc rebants, and the entire town, excepting the Wesleyan mission-house and a few small buildings, were burned. It was believed the remainder of the town would be destroyed. ‘The losses by the two fires at Santiago and Porto Plata reach five millions. The white population of Lamar haye fied to foreign countriss, thousands have gone to the neighbor- ing islands, and some of the principal mer- chants tothe United States. The United States Commercial Agent is among those who have left. None havesaved anything but their lives. Another acconnt, from the Tarks Island Standard, says that in the battle the Spaniards were terribly beaten, and driven back to the fort, with a loss of 450 men. A brisk fire from the fort compelled the Dominicans to leave the town. The Government House, and the American and British Consuls aud the Roman Cathelic church were among the houses burned. The Spanish coldiers were seen going about with firebrands in their hand while the fight was progressing. It was reported that the Spaniards would soon evacuate the fort, as they cannot retain it against the Dominicans, woo number tour thousand in the neighbor- ood. Itissaid that the whole south side of the island is in actual rebellion, and that the Dominicans whom itis reported joined Santana have deserted him. % DISCLOSURES IN CIN- CUNNATE. CrncinnaTI, Nov. 1.—An extraordinary case of treason has recently come to hght, implica- ting several persons in this city, Columbus,Cov- ington, and Newport, in conspiring to relea-e rebel prisopers at Camp Chase, and to over- STARTL lives, Who were supposed. by the parties im- plicated, to be spies from the rebel army, and were treated with full confidence. The plot, disclosed to the detectives, was tnat an attack should bemade on Camp Chase, to effect the release of the prisoners contined there, num- bering (, seize the arsenal at Columbns, take possession of the penitentiary, and release there; and then to commence the rebel campaign in Ohio. United States Marshal Sands and Provost Marshal Major Reany arrested the following persons implicated in the plot: Ghas. W. H. Cathcart, of Columbus, formerly a school com- missioner of Ohio; J. D. Cressop, of Columbus, formerly sutier of the 18th regulars, who were Bali8l, Pee hide Eger OF the reba Government, who turnished the money to the detectives un- der the impression that they were ies, and, according tuagreement metCatncart and others at Camp Chase, and assisted to mature the plan of attack; Ruth McDonald of Covington, who acted as a mail carrier through the rebel lines, and whose house was the headquarters of the rebels; Samuel P. Thomas, merchant tailor of Cincinnati, and his wife and Catha- rine Parmenter. of Cincinnati. Information was obtained that organizations existed in Illi- nois,wailing for the outbreak in Ohio, to pro- duce'similar results in that State. Other par- tienlars are known to the authorities, but are net yet made public. From Europe. , New York, Nov. 1.—The steamship Hecla, from Liverpool Oct. 20th, via Queenstown on the 2iet, has arrived, bringing a few items of general interest, The Levant Herald confirms the statement that the Porte has offered to purchase the rams on the Mersey, and that the Lairds’ price was £130,000 for each of them. Hon. W. Ellot, of Earl St.Germains, late Sec- retary of Legation at Brazil, succeeds Mr. Stew- artin the Washington British Legation. The latter is relieved on account of his health. France refuses to guarantee the Mexican loan, and there is trouble between Maximilian andthe French Government on that question. Official information from Ja; States that in the attack on and the destruction of ‘Ky ay the English fleet lost eleven killed and thirty- nine wounded. Capts. Gosling and Willmott were killed. The National Telegraphic Convention. New York, Nov. 1.—The Convention of the National Telegraphic Union willbe held on Monday, November 2d. The delegates of the Convention will meet on that evening at & o'clock at the Everett Houee, in the city of New York, for the pur- ote of completing the organization of the Jnion, adopting & constitution and by-laws, electing a president and other officers for the ensuing year, and transacting such other busi- ness as May come before the convention. The proprietors of the Everett House have most kindly tendered the use of a room for holding the session of the Convention. ma Cairo. Cairo, Nov. 1.— Private advices from below report that Gen. Sherman is skirmishing daily with the rebels under Lee, Roddy, and Forrest. The publication of all military operations in that region is contraband. The steamer Adriatic and City of Peoria were fired into by guerrillas on Friday, on their way up, at Whiskey Chute, below Memphis. One man was kil and another wounded on the Adriatic. A gunboat has gone to that point. From Mexico. San Francisco, Oct. 30.—Dates have heen received from the-City of Mexico up to Octo- ber let. A conspiracy avainust the imperial government had been discovered, anda large number of the accused persons had been im- prieoned. some shot, and others sentto Martin- ique. The press was free in commenting on the refusal of Minister Corwin to hold 1uter- view with the provincial government, and also in his negligence to join in the festivities cele- brating the birthday of Napoleon. Arrest of a Massenri Editer. St. Joszrus, Oct. 30.—D. K. Abel, editor of the Tribune, was arrested to-day and sent to St. Louis. It is supposed that the arrest was in consequence of articles published in the Tribone, in violation of that part of order No. 96 which relates to the utterance or publishing ot -woras calculated to produce fection or insubordination in the ranks of the militia, or bring into contempt the military authority. The articles referred to were defamatory to the independent militia. From Rio Janeiro.

The Late Bombardment of the City—Re- mewal of Operations. By the arrival at New York of the Arago from Milton Head we have news additional to that published in the Star of Saturday. A Morris Island dispatch of Oct. 27th says: It not intended at first to make the comn- mencement of such vigorous operations, but circumatar bave changed the prozramme enurely. ‘The Cnemy replied reservedly to-day. Heis evidently takes: with farprias so far as ‘the she}ing of Charleston is concerned, although he has had sufficient warning. Four menitors are in ohare off Sallivan’s Island. It is understood that they will engage the rebel works this afternoon. HEADQUARTERS DEPARTNENT OF THE SOUTH October ©;.—A number of the heaviest guns in Wagner and Gregg were opened on Sumter, Moultrie and Johnson yesterday mornings. The firing was continued at regular inter- vals throughout the day until dark, and re- sumed again this morning: The range of the guns oa Sumter and John- son is one-third less than it was betore the capture of Wagner and Gre; The firing on our side is lent, every seems to be afipotive. “ The enemy did not commence an animated reply till about noon yesterday.. His practice is inferior to that exhihited weeks ago. At the present moment of writing not & cas- ualty has occurred on our side, and no percep- tible dam: to our works has been sustained. The artillery isin charge of the 34 Rhode Island regiment, they having been ordered to the pieces on Sunday. The land bstteries alone are engaged. The object of the tire was to get perfect range of the Rebel works, and to prevent the con struction of any interior batteries and the mounting of any guns on'Samter. It cannot be put as the commencement of any vigorous Sssanit, and the public must not anticipate news of stirring import by the arrival of the succeeding transport. That preparations have been making for some weeks for active movements is patent to us aj], and will be moreso when the actual moment arrives. Gen. Gillmore’s headquarterg™are still on Folty Island. Measures have been adopted to protect the Jronsides from further attempts at her destruc- tion. Sheis now £0 hedged in that it will be impossible for a torpedo toexplode near enough to it to occasion any damage; and as for any machine like that which tailed in the last at- tempt doing damage is quite outof the question. It wiil do no damage to notify the rebels that allour vessels lying inside the bar are now quite well prepared against their tactics and fear them not Changes hive been maie in the comm inds of Many of tbe vessels of late. It wou!d do no good to state the precise time the hon-clad operations will azain be resumed, and mighi occasion herm. Preparations for a final attack are being pushed on as rapidly as circumstances will permit, and, contidenudy hoped, wil! be completed very soon. . A coriespondent, wiiting relative to the re- cent operations under date of Oct. 27th, says: The unusual quiet of the past th-ee weeks was broken yesterday by Gen. Gilmore’s new batteries, which openedon Fort Sumter, and on Forts Moultrie and Johnson, and the batte- ries about those works. The rebels replied to our fire, but with little accuracy. Our fire has been quite sharp and tolerably effective. The bricks on Fort Sumter flew in clouds. and it was the opinicn of one of our general officers that it was quite as safe to be outside of that work as inside. It must have been very hot ior the inmates of the fort, if fragments of shot ; and shell, bricks, mortar and splinters can bring about such a state of affairs. The fire upen Moultrie and Johnson had the desired elfect. The rebels fired feebly and inaccurately. Not a casuaity oceurred on our side during the day. ‘Po-day ur Parrotts are taiking as loudly as exer, but with whatresull we bay checked in any efforts they may have made to erect a battery within the work, and the chances are that snch a work is already de- stroyed by the shot and shell now raining into the fort. The sctne we daily witness isin no weys different from the one I have described. Perhaps heavier pieces of masonry are detach- ed and more brick dust is thrown in the air by our heavy projectiles than in the first bombard- ment, because the range is nearly two-thirds shorter than before, and the force of impact is correspondingly increased. Sumter has not. Teplied, nor is it skely that the enemy can much longer maintam the work. But we shall see in due time what is to be accomplished. As I close one of our guns is firing the city of Charleston, with what result cannot yet te stated. St. Michael’s spire is the target for our fire. THE WAR IN LOUISIANA. Progress of Banks’ Expedition—Federal Occupation of Opelousas — Vermillion Taken—Movement ef Another Expedi- tion, The steamer George Washington, at New York, brings advices trom New Orleans ta the 24th ult, r Nzw OnLEans, Oct. 22.—The latest news re- ceived from the army is up to yesterday after- nocn, and is of the most cheering character. The column under Major Gen. Franklin en- tered Opelousas at noon yesterday: © » The enemy made ‘ stand about five miles in front of the town witha body of troops com- posed of infantry, Yehio'g Boa artillery, bat they were quickly driven the-fleld.” This result has followed every attempt of theenemy to make a stand during the present campaign ou the Teche, ? At Vermillion Bayon, where the rebels held a strong sition, ugly engagement might have bach expected: bat the nee made on their rear by Gen. Dana’s forces © the rebel commander to divide his troops, and so weakened the force on the bayou that il was easily turned by our cavalry. A portion of the Corps d*Afrique accompa. nies the expedition. The enlistment of colored soldiers is pro- gressing rapidly. Two regiments of white soldiers are also rapidly filling up. i fo much of the Mississippi river as is in this department is now entirely free from the dep- ations of the guerrillas. and the traffic along its banks is now as uninterrupted as before the war. Business in this city is steadily increasing. The receipts of cotton for the week amounted to 60,073 bales. Atasale of new cotton, mid- dling fair brought 7434 cents to-day. Several small expeditions have recently been sent across Lake Pontchartrain into Mississip- pi, where they destroyed several rebel tan- nerles Aud ealt works, besides other valuable property. They met several parties of rebel soldiers, and in the skirmishes which ensued the Union troops were victorious. The Gulf blockading squadron have made several cap- tures recently, ana blockade running on part of the coast is ruining all who engage in it. The Rebels Rapidly Retreating. . New ORLgans, Oct. 21.—The advices front the Thirteenth Corps up to last evening state that they were at Ve lionville.
