bridge over the Usage river. He expects to
overtake Price, who will have to fight or re-

forced by McCulloch, and that Price is forti-
tying Osceola.
Official intelligence states that two vessels
of our feet at New Orleans had run on a sand
bar and were somewhat damaged by a rebel
battery. No vessel was sunk, neither was one
captured, as reported by the rebels.
The rebels are busy erecting batteries on the

days since they captured q vessel laden wit h
hay, it having broke loose from the tug and
drifted near the rebel batteries.
A portion of Gen. Stones command made
reconnaissance to Leesburg, and are now in
possession of Wards Ferry. A rebel force of
1000 are in the neighborhood.
1t is reported that the town of Humbolt,
Kansas has been burnt by the secessionists,
and that the papers and records of the Land
office were destroyed.
1t is rep orted that Fremont is to be trans
ferred to some other duty.
Latest advices from Missouri say that Price
is retreating towards Arkansas, and that the
Federal army meets with success in every en-
gagement. Lexington was recaptured by Maj.
White, who surprised the rebel garrison. A
fight took place near Lebanon, in which 81
rebels were killed, and 1S wounded, and Sc
taken prisoners. Our loss was killed and ,

chusetts regiment and the New York Naval
brigade occupy the deserted dwellings in
Hampton, where about 80 of the inhabitants
remain The families of Gen'l Butler, Coils.
Duryee and Max. Weber are here. Great
preparations are being made to celebrate the
Fourth of July. Yesterday evening Lieut..
Yelberton, and eighteen men of the 9Th
New York regiment, made Il reconnaissance
from Newport News up the James River
road to within one mile and half of Great
Bethel At that point, they came upon five of
the rebel pickets, who precipitately fed,
leaving behind with other trophies, their
hats and coats. In the pockets of the latter
were several letters just finished, giving
complete account of the late advance of
$500 men from Yorktown to attack New
port News, the wretched fare of the troops,
and the manner in which they were obliged
to beg or steal. One of an amusing character
in the pocket of Joseph Steel, Bookseller
