AS general thing, the artillery in this en-.
gagement was much better served than in sev.
eral of the previous fights. For two hours the
roar of the guns was 50 great that even the the
heavy volume of nusket,y was drowned in the
noise. In reserve position, supported by
I.Gcns. More and Sykes divisions, was q

approach from the interior.
When our advance reached James River,
early Monday mornings there Was only the

did not know the proximity Of Commander

THE GUNBoArs.- Seyeral gunboats, inclu-

DIR. LtvinEstOne Attacked by tho
Natives In Africa.

Rev. Wn. Monk, of Cambridge, Eng
land, has received very interesting letter
from DR.. Livingstone, giving an accoun,
of his first hostile encounter with thu
natives in Africa:
A tribe called Ajawa has been EN-.
ployed to attack the Manganj4 villages
Kill the men and sell the women and {, j.
dren to the Portuguese for "a mere lrife In
calico. You cannot we'll conceive the
state Of disunion among the Mangania
the destruction Of village after village pro
duced no effort at union against the com
mon foe.
A message was only sent down to Chib
lisa, as he is believed to possess medicine
capable of insuring victory. The par.
amount chief, instead of aiding his sub.
jects, kindly helped the slave hunters over
the Shire. We found that the whole ma
tlon was fleeing, and hoping to stop this
aud the effusion of blood, went to hold d
parley with the Ajawa. Unfortunately
VIC came to them when in the act of burn
in2 three villages. The bishop (MacLen
zle) offered up i fervent prayer, and with
the accents Of that prayer VI could dis
tlnctly hear the vail for tie deat aud II! {
shrill scream for victory.
As we advanced TO their Villages. our
assurances that We caiue peaceably were
nullihed BY some Manganja followers call
ing out, Our Chibaza has come, and
Very unfortunately, although l heard it
distinctly, 1t did not strike the mind till
afterwards that we were thereby deprived
OF the protection OF our English name
They attacked us on ali sides with poison

very sure that the latter were handled by
Portuguese slaves. They certainly had
the dress common among slaves at Tette,
and these was square house, such as
slaves often build, near the Ajawa WILL

We retired slowly from the village, but
this only made it bolder they came with

course to our firearms that we avoided all
becoming food for the vultures. / am
sorry that it was necessary, for it was the
hrst hostile encounter we have had in
Africa. Had anticipated such an attack

first. We are, however, in the slave
market.

Shaving is the parent of ey-

traders eye. We had ammunition with
us barely sufficient to drive them off, their
attack was so unexpected.

Hon. ]. E. BouIiguy.

Hon J. E. BOuligny arrived in New
York from New Orleans on Thursday eve
ming last, in the steamer Matanzas, and
stopped at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Mr..
Bouligny, 1t will be recoTlected, was a rep
resentative in Congress from Louisiana,
when that State went out of the Union.
He, however, refused to relinquish his
seat, and maintained his adherence to the
Union. At the close Of his term, he re-
turned to New Orleans. His history since
his return is thus briefly told in letter
from New Orleans;
Last night the officer Of the guard at the
Sc. Charles was accosted by a gentleman,
whom he found to be Bouligny, one Of the
last representatives whom Louisiana sent
to Congress, and who held out for the IN
ion long after his State has seeded. Since
that time that man has fought no less than
seven duels, (Hearly one q month, solely
on account Of his Union sentiments. he
is now q manned man, his left hand shat
tered and arm paralyzed, and one or both
Of his feet injured. That is literally stand-
ing up for the Union, and he says he is
still as strong Unieu man as ever. All
honor TO him and all like himl may they
be many He has been treated very badly
his wife was taken from him and sent to
Norfolk, though she is now in Washington
city, and he has been debarred from all
correspondence with her for many months

FROM VAsHNGTON.
WASHINGTON. June G.

W AsHINGTON, June ..
1t appears that about 10 prizes have
been taken by our cruisers.
In consequence Of the delay of the rebel
officers in condemning the rebel vessels
and cargoes captured, it is impossible to
state the value of the prizes hence no es-
innate can be made of the enormous amount
of prize money to be distributed among the
sailors in the naval service Some idea,
however, may be formed of the total by the
single case of the Circassian, which ar
rived at New York few days ago. This
vessel and cargo is valued at million and
a halfo dollars. The sailors who captured
her viii probably receive 81, 300 each. It
is said there are some fifteen vessels equal
ly as valuable now trying to run the block
ade.
It is said that English spectators in
arms have skipped about 10000 Enfield
rifles to Nassau, where they dispose Of
them to rebel agents, who re-ship them
with the expectation of running the
blockade. This is the way the British
have been acting as neutrals towards US,
in order to prevent the horrors Of civil
war

MISSOURI STATE CONVENTION.

JEFFERSON Cry, June @.
In Convention to-day the Committee on
Elections reported an ordinance to enable
citizens of this State, now in military SER
vice, to vote at the coming August cleo
tion. I
The special committee on the seat Of alb
sent members reported in favor OF expel-
ling Price, Crawford, Hatcher, Wright,
and Turner, on grounds of active rebellion,
and in favor Of simply declaring vacant
the seats of Chenault and Watkins.
1t was moved to strike out the name Of
Mr. Watkins, for the reason that he had
renounced the rebellion and been pardoned
by the President, but after discussion the
motion was lost, as was also a motion to
simply declare the seat Of Wright vacant
The report was adopted.
fhe petition Of seven hundred citizens
of the Fourth Senatorial District was pre-
sented, asking for the expulsion of Prince
l. Hodgkins from the Convention, as be-
ing unworthy to represent the Union peo-
pie of that district I
No better evidence was needed of his
traitorous and oontemptible conduct than
that he has aided and abetted the rebellion,
and has not dared to show himself in said
district since last September. tftAfs
Mr.. Hodgkin asked fot the appointment
Of Committee to investigate his case,
which was agreed TO- The discussion on
the ordinance defining the qualifications
Of Voters and Civil officers was then re-
ceived and after several speeches for and
against it the motion Of Mr.. Orr made
yesterday to strike out the clause disfran-
chising persons who have taken up arms
against the GoYernmenb or given aid or
encouragement to the rebellion, was car
ried, A against "a, and on motion, the or
dinance was committed to the Committee
Mr. Howell moved TO instruct tha-@ass-
mlttee TO report an ORDNANCE on the basis
of his minority report, viz: deferring all
elections till the next regular gubernator-
ial election now that the DISTINGUISHING
clause was rejected. There seemed TO be
majority in favor of this proposition, but
without reaching a vote on the motion the
Convention adjourned.

Eastern Troops.

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Times.l
The Eastern troops, that have seen,
have all the appearance Of being brave
and gallant men. They are evidently NOR
tiled and disheartened by the terribly
slew movements in Virginia. There is
not that respect as men shown to them by
their officers. that volunteers have right
IN expect. In the army Of the Rappahan-
mock, q soldier bundle on his back, Is
equal to the load which Bunyan's Pilgrim
carried over the Slough Of Despair As a
general thing the men Of the East have
not the full physical development Of those
Of the West. A common Hoosier appears
a giant beside a tidy little New York Lou-
ave, but therere is as much FIRE in the lace
Of the New England soldier, as there is IN
that Of the Buckeye er HOosier.

The Albany Evening Journal says in
reference to Gen. Buffers late order re-
garding the women Of New Orleans,-aA A
gentleman just returned from that city,
where he has resided ever since the war
broke out, says We can have no conception
Of the indignities our brave fellows are
compelled to suffer at the hands Of these
fends in psttieoats. All sense Of shame
and deeency appears TO have departed out
Of them. They rival the most degraded of
street-walkers, not only in ribaldry but in
obscenity. Women who have been regard
ed as the pattern Of refinement and good
breeding, indulge in language toward our
officers and men which no decent journal
list would dare put into print Presuming
upon the privileges Of the sex, they not
only assail them with the tongue, but with
more material weapons. Buckets Of slOps
are emptied upon them as they pass de-
cayed oranges and rotten eggs are hurled
at them; and every insult that a depraved
fancy can iEvent,is offered to the Federals.
aThe forbearance Of our troops, this
gentleman says, is wonderful They en-
dure the jibes and prosecutions Of these
unsexed wretches with a philosophy that
nothing can overthrow. But the nuisance
was fast becoming intolerable. The often
ders were presuming upon the chiyalry Of
the troops to commit physical assaults.
Something like the order Of Gen. Butler
became imperative. IfwOmen, pretending
to be decent, initiated the conduct Of ''wo-
men Of the tow" it was proper that some
thing like the same punishment should be
be meted out to them.p
These wretches should have their hiding
places burned over their heads, and they
turned out as wanderers up and down the
earth.
