er. with the officers of the forts under a
white flag, the rebel naval officers put all
their munitions of war on the Louisiana,
set her on fire and adrift upon the Harriet
Lane but when opposite Fort st. Philip
she blew up killing one of her own men
by the fragments which fell into that fort.
/ have taken possession of the forts and
find them substantially as defensible as
before the bombardment-St. Philips pre-
cisely 50, it being quite uninjured. They
are fully provisioned, well supplied with
ammunition, and the ravages of the shells
have been defensively repaired by the Ia
bors of the rebels. | will cause Lieut..
Wietzel of the engineers to make de-
tailed report of their condition to the de-
partment. have left the Twenty-sixth
regiment Massachusetts, volunteers in gar
rison and am now going up the river to
occupy the city with my troops, and make
further demonstrations in the rear of the
enemy now at Corinth. The rebels have
abandoned all their defensive works in
and around New Orleans, including Forts
Pike and Wood on Lake Ponchartrain,
and Fort Livingston from Barrataria Bay.
They have retired in the direction of Cor
inth, beyond Manchac Pass, and aban-
doned everything up the river as far as
Donaldsonville, some 70 miles beyond
New Orleans. propose to so far de-
part from the letter of my instructions
as to endeavor to persuade the flag off,
Ger to pass up the river as far as the
mouth of Red river, if possible, so as
to cut off their supplies, and make there
landing and demonstration in their
rear as division in favor of Gen. Buell.,
if decisive battle is not fought before
such movement is possible. Mobile is
ours whenever we choose, and we can bet
ter wait. l find the city under the do
minion of the mob. They have insulted
our fag--torn it down with indignity.
This outrage will be punished in such a
manner as in my judgment will caution
both the perpetrators and abettors of the
act, so that they shall fear the stripes if
they do not reverence the stars of our
banner. send a marked copy of New
Orleans paper containing an applauding
account of the outrage. Trusting my &C.
ton may meet the appreciation of the
department, | am, most respectfully, your
obedient servant,

Difficulties of the Position.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
The army correspondent of the asso-
ciated press, writing from White House,
Va, on Sunday, says:
The advance guard of. our forces on the
main road to Richmond, by way of Bot
TOMS bridge, drove the enemy across the
Chickahominy river at that point ycster-
day morning When our troops arrived
within half mile of the bridge, which
is burned, they were opened upon by a
brisk fire of artillery from the opposite
side of the river. No one was injured.
The bridge is fifteen miles from Richmond.
At this point our troops will experience
considerable difficulty in crossing, as the
country is low and swampy. A recon-
noissance was made yesterday by one of
the gunboats, with two companies of in
fantry under Major Willard, and one Sec
ton of Ayers battery, up the Pamunkcy
river, distance of 2j miles from here,
at point known as Russell's Landing.
They found on the river one propeller
and Is schooners in flames. They were
ladened mostly with corn, which was be-
ing unloaded. Some contrabands on the
shore say that when the rebels heard our
gunboats coming, they commenced putting
the corn on board again so as to insure
its destruction. A few shells soon dis
persed the remaining rebels in that local
ity, when the gunboats returned to the
White House. The roads for the past 3
days have been next to impossible owing
to the recent rains. A provision train
was 36 hours making its way 5 miles
with teams doubled, together with the
assistance furnished by large number
of troops The advance of the army from
this point must necessarily be slow,
from here it looses the benefit of river
transportation, requiring all the supply
trains at the disposal of the quartermas-
ter's department, to furnish SO vast body
of men with subsistence. The bridge be-
tween here and the enemy has been des-

Down THE BANK.-0n Monday of last
week, Baxter Burnell, of Wolcott uow
acting as pedler for the Craftsbury tin
man, started from his fathers, where 10
had spent the previous ight, to report At
headquarters, in Craftsbury. When he
reached place in the road just below Tho
clapboard mill at North Wolcott, where
the road had been rendered almost imnas
sable by the encroachment of the land on
the upper side, nearly half.acre of which.
had been gradually sliding down over
bed of quicksand into the road, his cart
took start for the water, carrying him
and his horse with it. He was, at the time
on the thoroughbred, on the upper side
of the load, as precaution against IN.
setting, and the jerk was so sudden as to
throw him completely over the load, and
some distance into the stream. He was
not much hurt, however, and after secur.
ing all the tinware that undertook to float
down stream, he called for help, and was
soon right side up again, though in
damaged condition. A few days after
the proprietor and town authorities visited
the scene, and, after looking matters all
over, they paid s25 damages; and the
tinman went home, doubtless we'll satisfied
that Wolcott, though not the richest town
in the county, is ready to "do the fair
thing" on all occasions.
We would suggest that Wolcott is not
the only town with dangerous roads. We
know of some bad places not many miles
distant, at one of which aoe narrowly eS.
capped, recently, an accident similar to the
one above narrated.

SETTLED In October last, Joseph
Chamberlin. then recently from North
field, got badly hurt in Eden, and having
no means, the town had to provide for him
for the time being, but Mr.. Chamberlin
not being resident of Eden, the town
took an order of removal to Randolph,
which town took an appeal, and the case
came before the county Court at It's last
session, but was not decided. On Thurs
day last, Sidney Howard, acting agent
for the town of Randolph, went to Eden
and settled the matter by procuring dis
continuance Of the case without cost to
either party, Randolph assuming the care
Of Mr.. Chamberlin from that time. The
residence of Mr.. G. is not determined, but
10 thought to be in Tunbridge.

ACCIDENT AT THE FALLs-A GIRL FALLS

Louis Stewart, of Winooski, fell from the
prccipice overhanging the river below Cat
Inns mills, distance of sirty.JfUe feet

The fall was partially broken by bushes
on the way down, to which probably she
owes her escape with life. A man who

fell, at once sprang into the river anu
rescued the child from drowning. She
was found to be badly bruised, but was
alive this morning, and strong hopes Of
her recovery are entertained. Free Pres"
