HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF, }
New Orleans, Nov. 20, 1862.
General Orders, No. %.
The Commanding General, upon the finding Of
the Board Of Inquiry upon the conduct of the
Seventh Regiment Vermont Volunteers, at the
battle Of Baton Rouge, learns that he was led
into mistake by the official reports of that &C
ton as to the loss by t1at regiment OF its coIors ;
it proving to have been the camp color left in
camp, and not the resimen!al color that was
brought off the field by the Massachusetts Bat

He therefore has pleasure n ordering the reg-

doubling that i will, in its next action, earn for
Itself position aud name which will be credit

EROM NLSHOHRL

The correspondent Of the Missouri Repub-
licdn says the remainder OF Gen Sigel's di-
vision started west Monday morning, under
acting Brig Gen Color. Asboth's division
started several days since. Rolla is now oc-
cupied only by troops for its protection
The roads are somewhat improved, and the
army teams progress with less difficulty. u
Mon refugees from the southwest of Missouri
are taking up their line of march for home
once more. Every day they may be seen on
their way south west.
The following is a special dispatch to the
Missouri Democrat "A messenger from
Lebanon, who left Tuesday at / a. m, re-
ports that the enemy's pickets are within
three miles Of that place, and that the pickets
of the federals were within hailng distance.
Firing had taken place between them, but
was previously suspended as if by mutual
consent. The report was current there that
Price had made an Intellectual effort, by three
different routes, to move off his baggage, but
failed to accomplish it. He finally assured
his men that the alternative left was to fight
OF surrender. The messenger passed Sigel's
guard, near the Gasconade, also Gen Asboth,
who was crossing that river miles this side
of Lebanon. A batch of prisoners had beer
captured including Captain Mansfield"
Advices from Lebanon justify the inference
that it NAV be several days, perhaps weeks,
before the army moves forward, and no move
ments of importance need be expected until
all the troops shall have been concentrated at
that point.

FROU TIE SOUTH

A letter from savannah says heavy firing
was heard in the direction Of New River, on
the South Carolina side, on Monday morning,
lasting four hours. Rebel officers at Savan-
nah say that one of the batteries on New Riy-
er had been attacked, and one of the federal
gunboats, at least, destroyed
A gentleman from Norfolk says the rebels
are under the impression that Burnside has
been completely wrecked The troops at
Norfolk are being rapidly sent southwark as
far as Mobile.
Accounts from Norfolk state that drafting
will commence at the South on the LIST of
March. Besuregard is at Nashville.

FROM KENTUCKY.

BY dispatches which We publish to-day IL
will be seen that the federal forces are still at
work in Kentucky. few weeks ago an ex-
petition under Gen. Grant attempted to pro-
coed up the Tennessee river, but the heavy
rains had so swollen the river a. to render il
impossible to proceed, and the expedition was
obliged to return Since then we have heard
nothing from it until now it appears they have
succeeded in reaching within three miles Of
the rebel Fort Henry, and an immediate at
tack on the Fort was expected A later re-
port says the fort has been taken.
This is an important gain TO the federal
position, the Fort being situated on the east
bank Of the stream near the line Of Kentuc-
ky and Tennessee, and its occupancy by our
troops would place railroad communication
between Bowling Green and Columbus at the
mercy of the federal troops, and enable them,
in conjunction with Gen. Buel's command on
ihe cast, to flank Bowling Green on both
sides and compel It's surrender or evacuation.
This done, and Columbus must be evacu-
atcd or Immediately fall into our hands by the
combined attack OF the land forces and the
Mississippi expedition Kentucky would
then be completely cleared Of the rebel forces,
which would be forced back in Tennessee,
and, defeated and dispirted, would be driven
like chaf before the wind by the advancing
columns OF Gems Halleck and Buell. The
Union strength in Tennessee would also rush

BEAUREGARD'S REPORT AT LAsT.--Gen.
Beauregard's official report of the Battle Of
Manassas, has at last appeared, and is given
at length in the New York Herald, filing
nearly six columns of fine type. He places
his effective force engaged at 1882, and 65
guns and their loss at 269 killed and 1883
wounded--total 1882 He asserts that the
Federal army numbered over $4,000, and he
took prisoners OF AZ volunteer aud 0 regular
regiments, and that our loss must have been
over 1900 in killed, wounded and prisoners.
The muskets captured numbered, il seems,
bat 500. lie does not think il best to state
all the reasons why he did not follow up his
victory, but mentions among them, the fatigue
of his troops and want Of cavalry.

IL ' ~ lOh IN 1 I4AN y To = + To-
The report Of the capture of Fort Henry is
fully confirmed and the rout of the rebels
was as complete as that OF Mill Creek, in
which Gen. Z1lhcofer lost his life. But it
appears that Gen. Grant is not to rest on this
victory, but is to attack Fort Doneson on the
Cumberland river, twelve miles from Fort
Henry. These two Forts command the as
cent Of the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers
Fort Horny on the Tennessee and Fort
Doneson on the Cumberland - and were
doubtless designed to prevent the federal
feet from ascending these two rivers from
the Ohio, aud thus getting possession Of the
approaches to Nashville. We shall expect
soon TO announce the capture Of Fort Douel-
son, as guuboats have already gone up the
Cumberland river to assist Gen Grant in the
attack which was to have been made to-day
Saturday. The retreating rebel forces in
leaving Fort Henry, fell back to Paris, to
which place they were being pursued by our
cavalry, instead Of taking the direction Of Fort
Dinelson. Should F,rt Donelsou be captur-
ed, there is one other rebel foru6cation about
fifteen miles up the Cumberland river at
Clarksvillc, which will have to be taken to
open up free communication to Nashville
The railroad communication from Nashville
to Columbus and the Mississippi river can al
so be easily cut off from Forts Henry and
Donelson.
In view, then, of these threatened points,
we shall not be surprised to learn Of the evac-
uation Of Bowling Green by the rebels, which
is now their only stronghold in Kentucky ex-
cept at Columbus on the Mississippi But
before they could prepare to make a stand at
Nashville, or any other point, Gems. Buell.
and Grant could follow them up so closely
that it would be useless to attempt battle.
This unexpected movement in Kentucky
and Tennessee must add to the panic which
has seized the rebel army at Manassas in view
of the threatening of the North Carolina coast
by Gen. Burnside's expedition, and hasten
the evacuation of that place which we have
reason to believe had already commenced
SGrely the rebellion is being severely taxed
by the successive defeats in Kentucky and
Tennessee and along the Atlantic coast and
the prospect for jeff Davis Inauguration as
President of the southern Confederacy on the
22d Of the present month is anything bat an
agreeable one to him The reported recogni-
tion by France and England on the 4th of
March may find no Confederacy for them to
recognize, the federal armies having already
settled all questions as to the blockade or any
other pretext on which to base a causus belii.
The work goes bravely on, and we are now
reaping some Of the fruits Of Gen, McClellan's
"masterly inactivity e. Let those then who
have been keeping up fire in his rear, by
their incessant carpng because nothing was
done, hang their heads in shame now that the
veil is being drawn and his plans are being
worked out 10 a successful issue.
