that complaints are made that suitable

but express the hope Of the people Of

in fact as they seemto be, will speedily
be rlghted, and that the proper authori-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Wm. Emery, con
nected with the war department, who went
down with other clerks to the aid of the
wounded, and who left Centreville on Wednes-
day afternoon, says that, in conversation with
the rebel soldiers, he found them, with one ex-
cepton, Texan, expressing wish that the
war was over, and that they were back again
under the dear old flag. With the officers,
however, it was different. On Tuesday, Mr..
Emery saw large rebel force going in the
direction of Leesburg. He learned that the
enemy had corps of unarmed men, whose
duty it was to bear off the killed and wounded
as fast as they should fall or as soon as their
removal could be effected.
The general hospital at Alexandria con-
tains fifteen hundred and sixty-seven wounded
soldiers. Contrabands to the number of two
or three hundred arrived there last evening
from the vicinity of Fredericksburg. Large
numbers of wounded federal soldiers from
the recent battles continue to arrive here.
The body of Lieut.. Samuel Fessenden,
who was killed in a recent battle at Center
vile, was yesterday recovered by his cousin,
Lieut.. Joshua Fessenden, U. S. A., and med
ical director general Perly, who went thith-
er under the protection of flag of truce for
that purpose. The remains will be taken to
Maine tomorrow for interrment.

The News From Cuba.
ABOUT THE CONFEDERATE PIRAT

HAVANA, Aug. "a associated Press Cor
| respoHdeace. -On the morning of the goth
inst, | received telegram from Cardenas,
saying that the night before confederate
vessel Of war had anchored in the entrance to
the harbor, English, built of iron, and mount
ing eight guns. She came from Nassau and
reports that she has crew of one hundred
and fifty men, that her name is the ''Florida,"
and that she is commanded by Capt Mafft.
This vessel is none other than the Ovieto,
lately released by the admiralty court at
Nassau, as an illegal prize.
l had news of her before and was expecting
her arrival. A letter from Nassau told me
that she was coming, that she had 70 men,
and that she hoped to complete her crew IN
Cuba; also that Capt Semmes who was to
have commanded her. had sailed for Europe,
and that Capt. Maffit who formerly command
ed the CRUSADER" was to command her in
stead. The first officer of the Florida for
merly held the same position on board OF the
Sumter. The Florida is lined with iron, and
is calculated to resist any ordinary shot The
news of her arrival was Immediately sent
from Cardenas, Matanzas, and Havana to
our squadron at Key West, and there are now
three federal vessels of war waiting for her to
make her exit from Cardenas.
The captain-general was much annoyed by
her at CardenaS and ordered her to leave at
once for sea, but Capt. Mafit urged that he
was in distress, and continued to remain there.
Two of the Florida officers came to Havana
the day before yesterday. There were only
six hundred tons of coal in Cardenas; yet the
Florida has been able to get some, though |
am told her officers have had to pay $22 so a
ton for it to the gas company, and the. latter
will replace it from this city at nine dollars.
The Florida claims to have destroyed several
American merchantmen on her way to Car
denas. | doubt this. The captain-general
has ordered the naval officers at Cardenas to
make a thorough search of the Florida,
and if he finds any prisoners on board Of
her to liberate them
The captain general seems as if he intend
ed to act in a more honorable manner than he
has done before in like cases, and promises
to do all that our government can expect.
The confederate steamers ''Alice" alias Mon
tagorda, ''Blanche" alias General Rusk, and
the California have recently sailed for parts
unknown.
The Spanish steamer ''MeXico" left on the
2lst inst. for Vera Cruz with 200 head of cat
tie, and also provisions, for the French forces
at Orizaba and Vera Cruz. There is little or
no fever here's rains continue.

The nElnnesota Indian War.

ST.. PAUL, Sept. 5.-The Indians attacked
Forest City on the Sd, and were repulsed
Capt, Strout writes to the adjutant general
from Hutchinson on the Sd, that he was at
tackled by $50 Indians, part mounted. The
fight lasted two hours and a half when the In
dams gave way. Our loss was 3 killed and
Is wounded. Capt. Strout also states that
the Indians had excellent guns, were dressed
partly in citizens dress and rode horses. He
thinks the difficulty in that vicinity will be
very serious.

New YORK, Sept. By the Fulton from
New Orleans on the 2Sth Of August, we have
important news from the department of the
Gulf. New Orleans though threatened is de-
defended by nearly all the troops in the de-
dartment, who are strongly entrenched, and
the city is believed to be safe against any at.
tack the rebels can make.
Baton Rouge is not burned. Some build
ings obstructed the range of our cannon, and
were burned. This was done in order that
the city might be protected by the gunboats
after the evacuation by our forces should be
accomplished. No other confiagration has
taken place there. The town is now held by
our gunboats, which have already repulsed a
rebel attack, and are competent to protect it.
The whole rebel story hitherto published, is
essentially false.
