SEIZURE OF Accommodations Flagg,
Esq, yesterday received a dispatch from Bur-
ington, Iowa, notifying him that box of am
munition was On its way by express, directed to
&c. S. G., Louisiana, No., which was probably
intended for the rebels. On arriving it was

that the goods were for the Louisiana Home
Guards also, that he could give Mr. F. such

acquainted with the leading magnates Of Wall

on by the last Congress. sFs
Mr.. Chase will remain in this city until Tues
day next, by which time il is supposed negotia :

ON on Saturday, the victory, in all probability
would have remained with the United States
troops; and the loss ola few hours in the morn
