Vv TELEGRAPH. From San Francisco, San Francisco, October 25. By the Sarah Chase, we have dates from the Amoor river to September 1. The bark Mongol had arrived there, 148 days from Boston, and while proceeding up the river in charge of a pilot, got ashore on a sandspit off Cape Catarina about August 17, in three falcons of water. The captain and crew were rescued. The vessel was a total wreck. At the request of the several heads of departments within the Mint, that institution was closed, today, in respect to the memory of General Baker, and in token of sympathy with the Superintendent, upon whom the loss falls so heavily. A large number of flags, that were run up in honor of the completion of the Transcon tinental Telegraph, are at half-mast, in re spect to the memory of General Baker. The Pony Express has been withdrawn, The Department of the Cumberland. The following is the official announcement of the recent change in the Department which embraces the principal part of Ken tucky : Headquarters DepArtTMENT OF CUMBERLAND, Louisville, Ky., Oct. 8, 1861. The following telegraphic order was re ceived yesterday at these headquarters. Brigadier General Anderson. To give you rest necessary to restoration of health, call Brigadier General Sherman to command the Department of the Cumberland. Turn over to him your instructions, and report here in person as soon as you may without retarding your recovery. WINFIELD Scott, Washington, D. C. Oct. 6, 1861. In obedience to the above order, I hereby relinquish the command of this Department to Brigadier General Sherman, Regretting deeply the necessity which renders this step proper, I do it with less reluctance because my successor, Brigadier General Sherman, is the man I had selected for that purpose. God grant that he may be the means of delivering this Department from the marauding bands, who, under the guise of relieving and be friending Kentucky, are doing all the injury they can to those who will not join them in their accursed warfare. Robert ANDERSON, Brig. Gen, U.S. A. Commanding, Official Oulver D. Greene, Asst Adjt Gen. Crickamicomoco.—This barbaric, and yet somewhat euphonious word, is the name of the place on the long sand bank off the North Carolina coast, where the late engagement between the North Carolina rebels and the Indiana troops, supported by the United States steamer Monticello, took place. It is a point on the sand bank on which Hatteras Port stands, and about forty miles above Hat teras. The distance from it to the North Carolina main land is about twenty miles, across Pamlico Sound, but between the sand bank and the main shore is Roanoke Island, fortified and held by the rebels. It was from Roanoke Island they embarked to attack Chickamicomico. Tur Prrsoners From Harramas [ntet.—At Castle William, where the gentlemen from Fort Hatteras are in confinement, much sick ness is prevalent, in consequence of the per sonal uncleanliness of the prisoners. Five have died within a week and been buried on the island, and many others are in a fair way to follow them, the officers of the command finding it impossible to force them into the observance of even the common decencies of civilization without a resort to harsher meas ures than they are inclined to adopt, under present circumstances.—DBulletin’s N.Y. cor,
