Rebel Account of the Burning of the Union Transport. {From the Richmond Enquirer, July 23.) On Saturday morning a party of five of the Prince George cavalry, Captain Marks, consisting of Corporai Teller Cocke, and privates Thomas Marti, William Daniel, Alexander Dimitry and Wm. Williams, conceived and car- ried Out successfully a private little onterprise of theirown, which resulted in the burning of a large federal trensport, the capture of its commander, and tho consternation an zarpriso of the Yankee flect in the immediate neighbor. ‘Tho party left Coggins’ Point, om the south side of James river, five miles below City Point, about one o'clock Saturday morning, in an open boat. armed with naked sabres and their revolvers. The federal fleet of trans- ports and gunboats lay around them. One gunboat was at anchor about one hundred toed above them, and ano- ther half a mile immediately below, while soveral others, invisible at the time, were in various positions. The transports lay scattered along the chanue!, some uot twonty yards apart. After getting amidst them. the party made a recon- noissance to discover the largest, and finally selected a splendid looking schooner of two hundred tons burden, which proved to be the Louisa Reoves, of New York, toaded with corn, oats and other articles of forage, and commanded by Captain John A. Jones. As they ap- proached her a dog on board commenced barking furi- ‘Missiseippi, supposed to be for Vicksburg.

Our St. Louis Correspondence. Sr! Loum, August 4, 1868. The Feat of « Draft for Military Service—Strength of the Guerilla Bands im the State—Where They Oliain Ammau- nition—Ourtis Again in Arkansas—Military Items, éc. Reports continue to arrive from all parts of the iuterior to the effect that hundreds of the inhabitants are fleeing in all directions to avoid the anticipated unpleasant con- sequences of the militia enrolment order. The idea pre- vallsextonsively, if not genorally, that adraft for the regiments called for by the President is designed, and ‘that the enrolment of the militia is only a blind to cover the real intention, and the ten dollar order—as General Schofield’s order, allowing all partics who prefer to pay ‘money to enlisting for active service to claim exemption by paying ten dollars is called—has abated the precipitancy at first manifested by the semi-secessionists of the interior; ‘but the mass of the unwilling ones are leaving daily for Kansas, Iowa and Illinois. General Blunt’s order may ‘stop the emigration to Kansas; but thore are a score «! places and ample facilities for getting into Iowa or Illi- nols. Others will join the guerillas, while a number will in good faith enrol themselves as required by law. There is an undisputed majority of Union men. The enrolment steadily progresses; but in the secession counties on both ‘sides of the Missouri river the proposed enrolment will prove an ogrogious humbug, if not insisted upon at the bayonet's point. An estimate of the guerillas now. at largo in Missouri places the number at about five thousand, subdivided as follows:— MoBride’s forces from Arkansas. 1,000 Coloman’s gang, now with McBri '500 Hai "s 500 Porter’s gang, in North Missouri 700 Pomdexter's 100 Cobb's gang (Cobb was killed lately’ 106 Vaderwoou’s gan 300 Reove's gang, in 600 Quantrel's gang, in Western 250 Up. Hay’s . 100 Other irregularly organized. ++ 700 TOM... ces sececereneenee . ‘These figures are derived from official and unofficial data. The stampede among Gen. Price’s men and other rebels into the ranks of guerillas—recently commenced— will probably add two or three thousand to their strength. It is reported that between three and four hundred have left Cape Girardeau county alone. They will unite probably with Reeve's gang in Southeast Missouri. ‘The bulk of the guerilla reinforcemonts will be received from the populous counties of Salina, Lafayette, Cole, Ray, Calloway, Caldwoll, Carroll, Clinton, Clay, Buchanan, Livingston, Cooper, Boone, Jackson, Howard, Benton, Pottis, Johnson, Cass, Ralts, Marion, Andrain and Moni- teau. These counties are strongly tainted by secession- sets, and excepting, perbaps, a half dozen of tho list, there are few Union men in any of them who can be relied upon.
