Advices from New Orleans and other point* 
in this Department, arc to tbc 2<1 inst We con¬ 
dense from the mass of matter received the follow¬ 
ing intelligence: 
Purser Cook reports, by tbe arrival of the 
gunboat Clifton at Southwest Pass on the even¬ 
ing of th<* 3d, flint early on the morning of the 1st, 
the rebels attacked, by land and water, the Fed¬ 
erate at Gal veston. Our gunboats wore attacked 
by fivo rebel steamers, protected with double 
rows of bales of cotton, and loaded with troops, 
armed with rifics, muskets, Ac. The Harriot 
Lane was captured by bom-ding, after about all 
her officers, including Capt. Wainwright and 
Lieut, Lee and crew, 130all told, had been killed. 
The Clifton and Owasco were engaged and 
escaped, the former losing no men, and but one 
wounded. The 0wasco lost one killed and thir¬ 
teen wounded. Two barks loaded with coal, fell 
into rebel hands. 
The Westfield, the (lag ship of Com. Renshaw, 
was not engaged, being ashore in another chan¬ 
nel. Her crew were transferred to transports, 
and Renshaw, fearing she would fall into rebel 
hands, blew her tip. By some mismanagement 
or accident, the explosion occurred before the 
boat, containing Com. Renshaw, Lieut Zimmer¬ 
man and the Iwiat’: 
as security. Sec. 9 provides against counter¬ 
feiting, and appropriates $600,000 to carry the 
act into effect 
The Tribune has the text of the memorial pre¬ 
sented by the Republican Senators to the Pre¬ 
sident on the 18th of last December. Its four 
propositions declare : 
1, That a vigorous prosecution of the war is 
necessary. 2. That the Cabinet, which ought to 
bo harmonious, is not, and therefore should be 
made so. 3. That the Cabinet should be com¬ 
posed of men who certainly support the policy 
of the Government. 4. That Generals in com 
inand Ehould be heartily for the war. 
rt is Stated in Washington that private letters 
have been received from England announcing 
that there are now at sea forty vessels that have 
been fitted ctut and loaded in British ports with 
a view to break the blockade of the Southern 
American ports. These vessels are laden with 
arms, ammunition, clothing, shoes, medicines, 
&c. It is also asserted that a large amount of 
Confederate bonds, secured by the pledge of 
cotton at seven cent* per pound, have been sold 
jn England ut the rule of five shillings to the 
pound sterling, and that by these sales £750,000 
sterling have been realized by the agent* of ihe 
Con fed e rule govern men L 
President Lincoln has signed the bill for the 
admission of Western Virginia, and gives his rea¬ 
sons therefor, as follows: 
J, Thut it was the correct policy of the Ad¬ 
ministration to secure os much free; territory as 
possible, and with ns little trouble. 
2, That as tbe Wheeling Legislature had been 
recognized by Congress, as tbe Legislature of the 
State of Virginia, that body had the authority to 
adopt measures looking to a division of the Slate : 
that the responsibility did not lie with those who 
did not vote against it—namely the inhabitants 
of the eastern section of the State. 
3, And the principal reason, that he was bound 
to take care of his friends. 
The opinions of the President were in writing, 
and were read in the Cabinet meeting. Half of 
the Cabinet were opposed to the measure. 
Desertions of late have become so numerous 
that the Secretary of War has determined to 
adopt most stringent measures to secure the re¬ 
turn of delinquent*. He has become convinced 
that the system adopted some time ago is entirely 
inadequate, and has decided to remove Mr. Dra¬ 
per, and place the business in the hands of Gen. 
Wool, with full power for it* execution.

The Wheeling Intelligencer of the Cth says:-- 
Senator Carlisle, who has arrived from New 
Creek, report* that the rebels attacked our forces 
uuder Col. Wushburne on Saturday morning, 
and the lighting was going on during Saturday 
and Sunday. During the whole of Saturday, 
cannonading wits distinctly heard up New Creek. 
We have a small force stationed at Petersburg, 
north of Moorfield. This force was sent to the 
latter place, aud the baggage train came by way 
of a mountain road, and reached New Creek on 
Sunday. On Sunday nigh t CoL Mulligan, at the 
head of his brigade, left New Creek for Moor- 
field, reaching that place on Monday evening. 
It was reported that the Union forces had 
driven the rebels four miles, and were still pur¬ 
suing them ‘ 1 
got away, and they 
were consequently blown up with the ship. The 
crew of the Westfield arrived at New Orleans in 
transports, and the remaining troops are on their 
way back, but did not arrive until the place had 
been evacuated. 
The rebel foree is estimated at about 5,000, 
under Gen. Magnifier. 
Our land force, under Col, Burrill, of Mas*., 
probably did not exceed 300, the residue not 
tiaving been disembarked in time to fight Our 
loss was estimated-to bo 150 or 160 killed and 200 
prisoners. The navy suffered the most It is 
thought that the rebel loss w»b much more than 
ours, as our guns were firing grape and canister 
continually in their midst. 
The rebels had several batteries on shore. 
The Fed oral8 were on one of the long wharves, 
and it is said repulsed the chargee of rebels be¬ 
fore surrendering. 
Ruinoiu are current at New Orleans that Jeff. 
Davis is preparing an expedition to retake the 
Crescent City. 
Three negro regiments are to do garrison duty 
in Forts Jackson, St, Phillip and Pike. 
Farragut was about to attack Port Hudson. 
He is probably waiting for Banks to make a land 
attack in conjunction with him. 
The prize schooners Troy, Reindeer, Rambler 
and Montebello had arrived safely at New Or¬ 
leans. 
The steamer J. M. Bankhead had been attacked 
by guerrillas in Bayou Bonafanco. One negro 
was killed, and private Hoyt of the Massachu¬ 
setts battery, and a negro, were wounded. A 
•detachment of the 31st Mass, who were aboard, 
put the rebels to flight. The guerrilla* having 
been re-enforced, attacked her again, and she 
passed out of gun-shot reach. Capt Darling was 
wounded slightly in the knee. 
It is stated that the rebels have 10,000 men and 
30 guns at Port Hudson. The earthworks are 
said to be 17 miles in extent.

Colonels Imboden and Jenkins. 
There was considerable excitement at Now 
Creek Sunday night The soldiers there slept 
on their arms, and skirmishers were sent out.

report brought by those in charge of a wagon 
train, that had been pursued from Petersburg by 
a Jarge body of rebel cavalry. 
CoL Ludlow, or Dix's stuff, has returned from

Col. Ludlow says that it is highly probable 
that the Confederate State Government will 
rescind the order relating to United States offi¬ 
cers, and also that of citizens, and prisoners will 
soon be released. 
The Emperor of Austria wants $650,000 more 
the next year for his civil list (private in¬ 
come) than he had before. This he probably 
thinks is a fair increase of salary, considering his 
valuable services and increasing family. Last 
year he only had $3,750,000, or over $10,000 a 
day ; and finds such close economy, doubtless, 
hurtful to his constitution. 
There is a prospect that the famous cut off in 
the Mississippi, around Vicksburg, may yet 
amount to something. The rise in the river is 
widening and deepening the artificial channel 
made by Gen. Williams, to such an extent as to 
alarm ihe citizens of Vicksburg, lest they should 
find themselves in an inland town before next 
spring. It is thought that the course of the Mis¬ 
sissippi will be so changed at this point within a 
few months that vessels of the largest class can 
go through the now channel, and navigate Lhe 
river without passing Vicksburg at all. 
The 37th regiment of Iowa volunteers (known 
as the “Greybeard Regiment") left St Louis 
last Monday, for the South. A striking pecu¬ 
liarity of this regiment is, that nearly all it* 
members, officers and men, are over 45 years of 
age. Three-fourths of them are grey-headed, 
and many have long white beards, giving them 
a venerable appearance. Many have sent their 
sons to the field, and are now following them. 
Lord Palmerston, the English Prime Minis¬ 
ter, has oompleted his 6eventy-eigbth year, lie

Movements in the West and South-West. 
Kentucky. — General Carter’* expedition 
reached Manchester, Ky., on the 6th inst., on it* 
return from East Tennessee. It left Loudon, 
Ky., ou the 28th ult. It comprised 1,000 cavalry. 
The results of this expedition are ihe destruction 
of two important bridges, the killing, wounding 
and capturing of 550 rebels, the taking of 700 
stand of arms and a large amount of flour, salt 
and other rebel store*. A locomotive and two 
cars were also destroyed. A brisk skirmish look 
place at the Waittaga bridge, and another at 
Janesville. This raid was one of the most haz¬ 
ardous of the war, and attended with great hard¬ 
ships and privations. We lost but ten men. 
Missouri. — Advices from Springfield state 
that a rebel force reported to be 6,000 strong, 
under Burbridge and Marmaduke, with six 
pieces of artillery, were within two mile* and a 
half of that place, and opened on the town with¬ 
out giving notice to remove the women and chil¬ 
dren. One thousand rebel cavalry, in line of 
battle, were visible from the town. Gen. Brown 
has loop-bole houses for musketry, and will malic 
a vigorous resistance. 
Telegrams were received in SL Louis on the 
12th inst, to the following effect: 
The rebels were repulsed at every advance on 
Springfield, and oiu* forces held the town. Our 
loss is 17 killed. The number of wounded is not 
yet ascertained. We buried 35 rebels, and many 
Department of the South. 
Although but little of a stirring nature was 
transpiring in this Department at last advices, it 
is evident that lively times were anticipated. 
We gather the following intelligence from rebel 
sources: 
The Richmond Examiner of the 8th. says:—it 
was reported yesterday in Petersburg that a 
great expedition of gunboat* and transports, 
under command of Gen. Negley, had left For 
tress Monroe on the 1st inst, for some Southern 
port From indications deemed unmistakable, 
the enemy is preparing to make a grand demon¬ 
stration upon Goldsboro or Wilmington, and 
there is little doubt that the first clash of arms 
will come to our ears from that quarter. 
The Raleigh N. C. papers of the 7th, state that 
the Federal* have been largely re-enforced at 
Newbern. and that a movement has commenced. 
line of defense.. The rebel entrenchments and 
fortifications extend six miles in rear of the city. 
Sherman’s force had fought to within two mile* 
of the city, when he was attacked by a superior 
force of rebels. 
The fighting on Sunday is represented as des¬ 
perate in the extreme. Batteries and fortifica¬ 
tion* were taken and retaken. Whole regiments, 
and even brigades, fought hand to hand over
