It is reported that a formidable ex pedition had 
left Forts Morgan andGaines np the East Pasca¬ 
goula river to take a position in the rear of

the city at no distant day. Deserters report 
that there is much dissatisfaction at Mobile with 
the rebel government. 
Capt. Reynolds and others, captured by guer¬ 
rillas on the steamer Verango recently, have

and forwarded to all the Congressional Dis¬ 
tricts in the United States their correct quotas 
under the President’s call of December 19, for

satisfaction. 
The long pending claim of Cormick and Ram¬

Twomen were accused, whlleactingas Govern¬

IMPORTANT FROM CANADA, 
Ust of New Advertisements 
Advices from Quebec of Jan. 23, say that the 
Govornor General assuming that his speech 
from the throne was answered, sent down a mes¬ 
sage recommending an apropriution to replace 
$90,000 in gold given up by the Montreal police 
officers to the St. Albans raiders. The message 
was received by “ Hear, hear,” and there waano 
expression of dissent. A commission has been 
appointed to inquire into the failure of justice at 
Montreal. 
It would involve the conduct of Judge Cour- 
sol and other local authorities. Tu the mean¬ 
time Judge Coursal is suspended. If it should 
be proved that the money was given up through 
the misconduct of Chief of Police Lamothe, the 
city of Montreal will be called upon to make 
good the money advanced by Parliament to pay 
it back again. 
Those measures show that the Government 
and its supporters arc in earuest, and that pro- 
uortheru iutlueuce predominates in the Cana¬ 
dian Cabinet and Parliament It is expected 
that the first measure that will be passed into 
a law will bo the alien and anti-raid bill. The 
Attorney General will probably submit it to¬ 
morrow. 
The majority for the uew Confederation scheme 
is at least three to one. The opposition are 
hardly strong enough to get a respectable dis- 
sention. 
Canadian Parliamentary history furnishes lew 
precedents of the passage of the address in an¬ 
swer to the speech at one sitting, as was done 
yesterday. The tone of the speeches in both 
Houses was eminently friendly to the United 
States, while pointing out the necessity for 
larger military preparations. 
Time of Competition for Premiums Extend¬ 
ed.—Our offers for tlie largest lists Of subscribers ob¬ 
tained on or before Feb. 1st, aud for the first lists of 
specified numbers (fifty of 30 each, seventy-five of 20, 
etc.,) were issued late, and beside many persons who 
have obtained large clubs, preferred to take extra copies 
instead of competing for premiums. We tbe re tore find 
that many of the Specific Premiums are not yet taken, 
and have concluded to extend the time for both Large 
Prizes and the otberB (Specific) not yet won, until March 
1st. Let it be understood that all remittances mailed oo 
or before the 1st day of March will apply on the Large 
Prizes, and the remaining Spocific Premiums will be paid 
as fast as persons become entitled to them, rff" As no 
agent has been advised as to the state of the competition, 
(as to his or her chances.) or will be before March, none 
of our friends can reasonably complain of this necessary 
extension of time. We hope each and ail wjll continue 
their efforts with vigor and energy, resolved that the 
Rural Brigade of ISOS shall largely exceed in numbers 
that of last year—thus fulfilling present indications.

nearly all the force, amid the utmost confusion. 
The garrison was composed of detachments of 
the 8th Ohio cavalry and the 34th Ohio infantry, 
numbering about, seven hundred men, nearly all 
of whom were captured. The rebels could not 
conveniently guard such a great number of pris¬ 
oners, and perhaps a couple of hundred of them 
escaped, including Lieut. Cols. Youatt and Fur- 
ney, commanding (he two detachments named. 
There were no stores of any consequence at this

ROCHESTER, N. Y., FEBRUARY 4, 1865. 
From the South. 
A dispatch from the headquarters of the 
Army of the Potomac of Jan. 24, say6 last uight 
the enemy made an unsuccessful attempt to run 
past our batteries with eight vessels of war and 
three torpedo boats. The war vessels consisted 
of three iron-clads of four guns each, three 
wooden vessels of two guns each, and two of 
one gun each. 
The fleet left its mooring at 6 P. M. Wtien 
the vessels came within range of onr batteries 
they received a salute of shot and shell, to 
which an acknowledgment was made in a 
similar manner. At 12 o’clock they succeeded 
in cutting the chain at the front of onr obstruc¬ 
tions, and one of the iron clads passed through; 
the other two iron-clads and one wooden vessel 
grounded. The iron-clads managed toget afloat, 
and the whole fleet, with the exception of the 
grounded wooden vessel, found it convenient to 
leave tlie scene of conflict and seek safety under 
the guns of Pdchmond. The disabled wooden 
vessel was blown up by a shell from one of our 
batteries penetrating her magazine. IL is con¬ 
sidered fortunate for us that the iron-elud& 
grounded; for had they succeeded in passing all 
the obstructions, much property and military 
works would have been destroyed.

THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE BURNED, 
A dispatch from Washington of Jan. 24, con¬ 
tains the following account of the partial destruc¬ 
tion, by fire, of one of our most noble national 
buildings: 
This afternoon, about 3 o’clock, a fire broke 
cut iu the Smithsonian Institute, in tlie loft 
above the roof, caused, it is believed, by a defect¬ 
ive Hue. The ceiling soon fell, and in a few 
moments the gallery was in one sheet of flames. 
The fire, as it mounted the central tower and 
burst forth in full volume from the main roof, 
was magnificently grand, aud a curious spec 
taele was presented by the steadiness of the 
revolutions of the auometer, or wind register 
surmounting the tower, while the fierce tlames 
were ravenously mounting to its destruction. 
The windows of tho picture gallery soon burst 
out, disclosing only the shell of tlie room. 
There were some 200 of Stanley’s pictures 
here. He had negotiated for their Bale to the 
Michigan University. Only five or six of them 
were saved. 
The loss is very serious, including tlie lecture 
room, thc'philosophical instrument apartment, 
and most of tlie valuuhlc instruments. The offi¬ 
ces in tlie tower, and the originals of the private 
records and archives of the institution were all 
destroyed. 
The top of the principal tower and several of 
the battlements fell. 
The conflagration was nearly altogether con¬ 
fined to the main bnlldiug and above the first 
story—the latter ooitalnlng the museum, which 
was damaged more by watei^than by fire. The 
wings and corridors were mneh injured. The 
large library in the vest wing was not damaged. 
Tho furniture of Ptof. Henry, and other prop¬ 
erty, was injured by hasty removal. 
The full extent of the loss is not yet enter¬ 
tained. A strong military guard was in attend¬ 
ance immediately. Great difficulty wua experl-

Union army.

The Herald’s Newberu, N. C,, correspondent 
says that tbe important bridge on tlie Weldon

rebel supplies. Large numbers of runaway 
slaves are coming into the Union lines in North
