There were also captured 300 new saddles and 
accoutrements, and a large collection of' official 
orders and papers, and the private baggage of 
the rebels. Our loss was less than half that of 
the rebels.

To Major-General Jialleck :—Gem Stanley re¬ 
ports from his expedition to Bradyville. The 
tebols of Morgans and Wharton's commands 
made a stand in Bradyville. Cols. Pavamus and 
Long went in with saorea and whipped them in 
about three minutes. Stokes' cavalry advanced 
bravely with carbines. We took seventy pris¬ 
oners,‘including eight, officers; camp equipage, 
Ac,, and Basil Dukea regimental papers. Mur¬ 
phy did good service. Loss—one killed and 
eight wounded. W. S. Rohkcrans, 
Major-General Commanding. 
Twenty-three of Col. Jockson's Tennessee 
Regiment, while on picket duty west of Nolans- 
ville, were attacked by sixty Confederate cav¬

compelled the rebels to surrender. They look 
the whole party prisoners, and arrived in Mur¬ 
freesboro at night. 
Information has been received from Nashville 
that a division of cavalry, under Gen. Minty, 
attacked Russell’s rebel cavalry, at. Unionville, 
on the 7th, and captured 21 wagons, 25 tents, 86 
mules, 7 horses, and all their camp equipage; 
also three lieutenants, two captains, and 63 pri¬ 
vates. Two Federals were slightly wounded. 
The rebels lost 50 killed and 180 wounded. The 
7th Pennsylvania and 8th Michigan cavalry did 
the work. 
A special dispatch from Murfreesboro to the 
Cincinnati Gazelle, gives additional particulars 
of the fight at Thompson's Station. There is no 
evidence that our force was surprised. Viyi 
Dorn was known to be in force ahead, and a 
brigade wuh slowly advancing, constantly skir¬ 
mishing. when the rebels, with a superior force, 
engaged us in front and on both flanks. 
The 124th Ohio, which was in the rear with a 
wagon train at the time of the rebel flank move¬ 
ments, were cut off from the main body and 
escaped. The 22d Wisconsin, 69th Michigan, 
33d and 86th Indiana, were then completely sur¬ 
rounded. After the exhaustion of ammunition, 
having inflicted a severe loss on the rebels, they 
were forced to suiTender. A flag of truce was 
sent to the rebel lines to obtain information of 
our losses, but was prohibited from approaching 
the battle field. The flag was told by the rebel 
officers that they hud buried 80 Federal privates, 
killed outright, and 20 who afterwards died of 
their wounds. They said from 260 to 300 were 
wounded. No Federal officers were killed. Col. 
Baird, of the 85th Indiana, was slightly wounded. 
The rebels bad a force of 12,000 engaged. They 
lost one Colonel, several line officers, 180 killed, 
utul a proportionate number of wounded. 
Mississippi.— Com. Toiler has proclaimed

Everything looks as if preparations were almost 
ready for the enemy to commence a forward 
movement. The monster force before this city 
cannot long remain in idleness. Persons well 
acquainted with the country bordering the 
Yazoo Pass and the Cold water, say if (ho enemy 
succeed in getting their gunboats into the Cold- 
water. they will never be got out, and that an 
army of 1,000 could hold at bay and destroy an 
invading force of 60,000 in that country. 
Some additional particulars of the loss of the 
Indiauola have been received. When she was 
attacked, the advantage was on the side of the 
rebel rams. The indianola moved slowly com¬ 
pared with them. They kept clear of her bow, 
where her best guns were, and butted the sides 
and stern. The Indianola kept changing her 
guns from side to side, but us fast as this was 
done the active assailants gained the opposite 
sides, and in the boldest manner butted her 
again. The Indianola had a coal barge on the 
east side. This was sunk immediately. At length 
Capt, Brown announced the boat in a Rinking 
condition, and surrendered. The action lasted 
about twenty minutes.

Captain :—I have the honor to submit a flaw 
outrages committed upon citizens of Alabama 
by the Confederates. While all their leaders, 
from the President down, arc* boasting of carry¬ 
ing on this war in a civilized manner, and charge 
upon our troops all kinds of depredations and 
outrages, 1 think a few simple facts might put 
them to blush, and make those parties, and our 
press and people who are seconding the efforts 
of Davis to cast stigma npou us, ashamed ol' the 
work they are doing. 
I will 'state merely what I know to be true, 
Abe Can ad i and Mitchell were hung two weeks 
ago, as Unionists. They lived on the Hockleton 
settlement, Marion county, Ala. Hulhvork and 
Lis daughter, of the same county, were both shot 
for the same reason. The. latter was instantly 
killed, and the former will probably die. Peter 
Lewis, and his three neighbors, were hunted 
down by 100 bloodhounds and captured, The 
houses of Palmer, Welsby, Williams, and three 
Waightnnui?. and some thu ty others, were burned 
over their Leads. Women and children were 
turned put of doors, and the community threats 
ened with the same, if they harbored them. 
Peterson, at the head of Bull Mountain, was 
shot. 1 am now feeding some 100 of these fami¬ 
lies, who. with their women and children, and 
some old men, and even cripples, were driven 
out. and found their way here through woods, 
and by many without food or shelter' All this 
was done tor the simple reason that their rela¬ 
tives were in our army. The statements of these 
people are almost incredible, did we not have 
the evidence before us. I am informed by them 
that there are hundreds of loyal men and women 
in the woods of Alabama, waiting for an oppor¬ 
tunity to escape. 1 am. Ac., 
D. M. Dodge, Brigadier-General. 
Capt. P. M. Sawyer, Ass’t AdjutanUGeneral,

Unfortunately for the rebels, she happened to 
get aground in front of Fort McAllister, and 
directly in range of the Federal iron clad Mon-

A Ilillon Head letter of Feb. 27th says that 
the troops are under orders to embark, and the 
next steamer will probably bring intelligence of 
the attack on Charleston. 
The following dispatch appears in the Spring- 
field Republican of the Sd inat: 
Beaufort. S. C.. Feb. 22 . —We are expecting 
every day to be called upon to march in some 
direction. I suspect it will be toward Savan¬ 
nah. I think we shall go that way to Charles¬ 
ton, as we are trying to drive the rebels from 
their earthworks with gunboats at the present 
time. I am of the opinion that this Department 
will have warm work during the next thirty 
days. _ 
Department of the Galt 
'Rite three companies of the 42d Massachu¬ 
setts. crew of the Harriet Lane and 270 of the 
8th Regulars, captured by the rebels, have been 
exchanged and arrived at New Orleans. Also, 
twenty prisoners taken from the ram Queen of

The U. S. gunboat Kinsman, formerly the 
steamer Grey Cloud, sunk in Berwick Bay, by 
striking a snag. It is reportedtbatten or twelve 
men were drowned. She was a mere river boat 
The rebel armory at Clinton, La., has been 
destroyed by fire. . 
Gen. Grover is still in command at Baton 
Rouge. It was rumored that he refused to 
recognize negro regiments, and Gen. Banks 
issued an order commanding him to treat them 
on an equality. 
The Federal gunboat Essex bad picked up, 
near Fort Hudson, four torpedoes, one of them 
containing two hundred pounds of powder. 
A rebel deserter reports that Gen. Sibley has 
sent his infantry, 1,500 strong. to Shreveport, and 
has gone up with the balance of his command, 
consisting of artillery and cavalry, to Atchafa- 
laya river. The infantry were entirely destitute 
of ammunition. The conscription of all men 
between the ages of 16 and GO was being en¬ 
forced with relentless vigor. 
The rebels made an attempt to capture the 
steamer Laurel Hill, which was unsuccessful. 
She was laden with cotton, sugar and molasses, 
obtained above Baton Rouge. She ventured too 
near Fort Hudson, and the rebels placed ten 
batteries of artillery below her. The Essex 
went to her assistance, aud the rebels skedaddled 
without firing a shot 
An order issued by Gen. Banks explains the 
system of labor adopted for the year, and plant¬ 
ers assenting thereto are to bo assisted, as Jar as 
practicable without violence, in Inducing their 
negroes to return. The negroes are to be secured 
sufficient and wholesome food by the officers of 
the government, of the crops they produce. 
Those not thus engaged will be employed on the 
public works without pay, except good medical 
attendance ami clothing. 
The planters of Louisiana had held several 
meetings at New Orleans. Gen. Banks had 
promised to aid them in taking the abandoned 
plantations on the same terms as offered by the 
Quartermaster, and to do everything that could 
possibly be done to restore tost negroes to their 
masters, and that enlistments of negroes who 
had been at work on the plantations should 
cease. An attempt at one of the meetings to 
pass a resolution in favor of the revival of the 
State laws, was defeated by a large majority. 
Gen. Banks attended one of the meetings, and 
gave the assurance that tlio government had no 
feeling of hostility to the people of New Orleans, 
and that he wished to do all he could to Insure 
the peace, happiness and prosperity of the city. 
An order had been issued by Gen. Banks, for¬ 
bidding the taking away of negroes from the 
plantations by army officers or other persons in 
the United States service, without authority from 
headquarters. 
There is uo doubt that the Harriet Lane is still 
shut In at Galveston. She has been taken up 
one of the rivers, and the rebels are, it. is be¬ 
lieved. converting her into an iron clad.

The Secretary of the Treasury will not proba¬ 
bly recede from the position he has taken in re¬ 
fusing to receive postal currency in payment for 
custom house dues. The fifty millions of frac¬ 
tional revenue currency authorized in the last 
financial bill will probably be substituted for the 
postal currency, which was inadvertently made 
equivalent to demand notes, and the postal cur¬

fractional currency being substituted in its 
place.

Rev. Clinton C. Hutchinson, of Kansas, has 
been confirmed as agent of the Ottawa, Chippe¬ 
wa and Christian Indians of that State. These 
tribes were, until recently, connected with the 
Sacs and Foxes, and tvs their agent, Mr. Hutchin¬ 
son came to this city last summer with the 
Ottawas,and an important and unique treaty was 
made with them. Under its provision, the 
Otlawas, who are well advanced in civilization, 
are to become citizens in five years, and receive 
inalienable rights to 80 acres of land each; and 
there are to be set apart 2,000 acres of valuable 
land, to endow a manual labor University. The 
remainder of their lauds, 30,000 acres, will |bo 
sold to actual settlers, only to such persons as 
shall be acceptable to the Council. The Ottawas 
are not wealthy, but they have given largely to 
establish a University to which they propose to 
admit advanced pupils from other tribes, and to 
thiB end they will ask assistance of their white 
mother. This is a plan of the Indians themselves. 
The tribe has ever been loyal, and has suffered 
at the hands of the Border ruffians. 
The following is an extract from a naval offi¬ 
cer's letter, dated on board the United States 
gunboat Chippewa, off Algesiras, Jan. 16th, 1863, 
and addressed to Sec’y Welles: 
An English officer, who is married to a relative 
Of the late Commodore Shaw, of the United States 
navy, and who is with the North heart aud soul 
in this st niggle, informs me that a project is on 
foot in England, superintended by Maury of the 
rebel navy, to capture the United States squadron 
on the Mediterranean station, with iron-clad ves¬ 
sels, now said to be nearly ready for sea. The 
movements of our ships are watched, and we 
sometimes learn from the London Times of move¬ 
ments made in this squadron. 
The English officer told me that the returning 
of the Sumpter constitutes the first act of the 
drama, and then the capture of the Constellation, 
or St. Louis, or both, or their destruction if they 
refuse to surrender. 1 saw the Sumpter under 
steam a few hours after the consultation with the 
Englishman, who in shaking hands with me said, 
‘'Your store ship is watched, as Sentmes left the 
diagram ol' her w ith a Welsh captaui, who gave' 
it to the rebel sympathizers in in Plymouth.” I 
fear that the Release, which we expect here 
about the 1st of April, is in danger. She had a 
narrow escape from the Alabama before. We 
have to keep out of English waters In any en¬ 
counter with the Sumpter. Our Navy Depart¬ 
ment should try and send some iron-clad vessels 
here, if possible.

The Army in Virginia. 
With the return of good weather the enemy 
has made his appearance in greater force on the 
Rappahannock, and is materially strengthening 
his position. Gen. Hooker is on the alert, and 
will not be found wanting at the proper 
time. Iiis system of giving a moderate number 
of furloughs to private soldiers works admirably. 
The furloughed soldiers almost Invariably return 
punctually, while at the same time desertions are 
becoming more and more utifrequent. Several 
hundred of those who deserted before the 
system was adopted, and who have been sen¬ 
tenced by court martial to bard labor, without

the return of an expedition under Col. Phelps 
from Northumberland and Lancaster counties, 
Heatlisvillo, the? county seat of the former, was 
surprised, and the Post-Office searched, but noth¬ 
ing found. The jail was examined, but the cells 
were empty. The foraging party sent to Lan¬ 
caster county captured two important -rebel mails, 
1,000 bushels of corn, 60 horses and mules. Ac.

General Orders, No. 18. Non-residents will 
not be allowed to remain within these lines aud 
camps, without a permit from the Provost- 
Marshal General. The commanding officers will 
cause all such to be brought before (he Provost- 
Marshal General for his itocision and action. 
Inspection reports of certain regiments and 
battalions (herein enumerated ) give evidence 
of the necessity of Rtrong exertions on the part 
of every officer and member to bring them up to 
the proper stale of discipline and efficiency. No 
further leaves of absence will be granted to these 
commands, and all officers absent therefrom, 
must be recalled, and leaves of absence revoked. 
Certain regiments and battalions (herein 
enumerated) appearing from inspectors’ reports 
to have earned high merit from inspection offi¬ 
cers, it is left to the discretion of corps com¬ 
manders having regard to officering of their 
commands, and to increase the leaves of absence 
and furloughs to these commanders for the fifteen 
days following the receipt of (.his order to three, 
instead of two, as provided in General Orders 
No. 3. 
Commanders of cavalry corps will discontinue 
leaves and furloughs authorized under General 
Order No. 3, to regiment- of their command, neg¬ 
lectful in discipline, efficiency, cane of arms, 
equipments, animals. At. It is expected that nil 
commanding officers of corps and divisions will 
disapprove and refuse leaves and furloughs to 
those regiments and batteries similarly situated. 
All officers and enlisted meu absent beyond 
the period of leavo or furlough, must be tried by 
court martial, 
All sutlers will confine traffic to the regiment

The fight was renewed on the 5th, and continued 
through the day. Col. Coburn's three regiments 
of infantry were cut to pieces and captured by 
the rebels. They fought desperately, but owing 
to exhaustion of ammunition and superiority of 
numbers, were overpowered. The cavalry aud 
artillery got off safely. Seven regiments of Fed¬ 
erals were at Franklin. Van Dorn is said to 
have 18,000 under bis command. The rebels 
have fallen back. Their force was infantry, and 
heavier artillery than ours Gilbert's inactivity 
in failing to re-enforce Coburn, is severely cen¬ 
sured.

A rebel dispatch dated Feb. 28th, says:—The 
steamer Nashville, in coming up the Ogcechee 
river last night, grounded on the sand bar before 
Fort McCallister, and was discovered by the 
Yankee fleet. A Yankee iron clad opened fire 
across the marsh at the Nashville at thirty min¬ 
utes past 7 o'clock, and continued until 10 
o’clock, when an incendiary shell struck the 
Nashville and set her on fire, and she is now a 
total wreck. The fort tired upon the iron clad 
and hit her twice. The other gunboats of the 
fleet fired at the fort, but did no damage. 
Later intelligence states that this troublesome 
steamer had got in readiness to again run the 
blockade, and was, in fact, attempting so to r do.
