The departure OF Mason and Slidell from

when they embarked. The other pUht zeal prls-

in good humor. Indeed, he has recently been
in coed sprlte and has borne his imprisonment
with the air of philosopher. ..e...r <...-@
"Mr. Sidell was somewhot sulky, and not at

manner and in such a vessel. He evidently
expected that n steamer would come here espec-

owing to his health, which has not teen good

The annual Report OF George W Brown, Su
perintendent Of the Saut Canal, gives very
satisfactory exhibit of The business OF the Cara
for The past year, in spite Of the dlmnutlon Of
traffic. While the receipts are one-thIrd less
Than last year, and nearly the same amount has
been expended on the embankment the exp en-
ses are less by one-third than in 1860. The re.
port presents some. facts AID figures to prove
that the law regulating tolls operates GENEROUSLY
upon steamers for the benefit of sail craft. :
While only 81. 1873 20 has been received from
232 sail vessels, 1872 steam vessels have paid
$l5,4l476; +, ct it is asserted that it costs as
much, if not more, to lock the above number Of
sail vessels than it does the above number o.
steamers, including damage to gate locks, piers
and entertainments. The Superintendent recon-
mends the passing Of jint resolution calling
upon the General Government to repair the fort
and adopt such other means as may be thought
best to guard the canal. ........

der Col Glover, aud moved towards the rebel
camp Arriving within about a mile, General
-Printiss ordered Col Glover to attack a detach
memt of about one hundred which had taken
position in lane He did so with great galian-
try, killing a number, and taking several pris-
ouers. The others fed to camp. ......
The order of battle was now assumed. Col.
Biree. with three companies of MS command,
advanced through the field taking the left, and
Joined the force of Col. Clover, while General
Prentiss held possession with reserve Of sharp
shooters and a portion of cavalry. The attack
was commenced in full forge. The fire from the
