The Montgomery AdUsTtiseT in its notes OF
Col MOTgan's visit TO that city, says that after
he had entered the carriage to go TO the boat be
was brought dispatch from the telegraph office,
informing him that passenger who had arrived
at Chattanooga stated that LieUt.-COl Wood
and the men OF his command who we're taken
from him a short time ago at Lebanon, Tenn,
had captured the boat that was conveying them
down the Cumberland river from Nashville, and
made good their escape somewhere near Clarks-
vile. Co onel Morgan was confident it was
true, and felt greatly TeiOiced that his comrades
should have escaped a loathsome Imprisonment" ."
The Atlanta Contsderacy says
We have further information on this point.
Parties well known, have arrived here from the
vicinity of MurtreeSboro, who, before leaving
there, saw gentlemen from Nashville, and from
them learned the facts in the case. 1t was also
the common talk of the country about Murfrees-
bOrO' for two days before these parties left there
The circumstances were these:
They were put on q boat to be sent down to
the Cumberland, 10 be carried thence up the
Ohio to Cincinnati The boat got aground in
Harpeth Shoals The crew first, the passengers
next, and n, ally the guard were ordered out 10
assist in getting the boat ahoat again. While
they were thus engaged, Col Wood gave bis men
the wink. They made bold rush and succeed
ed in capturing the arms which were on the YES
sci, when they compelled a surrender of the crew
and guard. They then had the boat carried down
the river to the point where they wished to get
off, where the boat was brought to, the guard
parOled, and the brave men departed, and are
most probably before now doing good service in
the Confederate army.

Yankee mahgnity has been fertile in expedi.

The most notorious coward in New England has
been selected to rule over the people of New Or

abject cowardice, was rightly supposed to be free
from that fault. The man who was known TO
have submitted INCREASINGLY to the most de-

dcsted the ssgacity which selected him, by
proving a tyTant in authority and by proposing
as a military commander two of the most cow
ardly and atrociOUs measures of which the his
tory Of warfare affords any example.

having been exposed to any danger, and he has

SMALL NOTEs.-Ihe question Is often aSkad,

tendency to enhance pnces, and now It has
become almost impossible 10 procure change ior
a ten dollar bill in the city. Our banks Of issue
nave been removed tor the present, and cannot
now, of course contribute to help US out Of the
difficulty. What we want is something that
shall have local credit, based upon a deposit of
Confederate notes, that shall circulate among us
without the prospect of its being boarded OF con
cealed under the idea Of its being better than the
Confederate ccrrency. We have been shown
exactly what will meet the public necessity pro
vided it can be furnished in sufficient quantity,
a set of beautifully engraved notes. on fine bank
note paper. The notes are of the denominations
of one, two and five dollars Stamped across
their face are the words, d" Redeemed by the
Gayoso Savings Institution, Memphis, in Con

lars" The exchange can be made at the viii OF
the holder A prospect of at least partial relief
from the great Inconvenience suffered by cur
citizens by the dearth OF small notes IS crafty

News from the Coast.

Several startling reports, from the " reliable
gentleman obtained circulation yesterday. One
was, that the gUnbosts were shelling Fort Penn
berton, at the mouth of ElliOtt's Cut; another,
that whole company (the Marion Rifles, Capt.
Sigwald), out on picket duty, at and near Battery
Island, had been cut off. 1t was also currently
reported that the enemy were engaged IN shell
ing Secessionville. The only seeming truth we
could gather from these reports appeared to be
that one of the enemy's boats was engaged yes
terday in shelling our pickets in the neigh0or-
hood of Battery Island
A gentleman from Secessionvile says it was
reported there yesterday, at one o'clock, that
several of our plekets Of the Marion Rifles, had
been captured, and that detachment from Col.
Stevens regiment bad gone forward to look after
the enemy.
The firing in that direction yesterday after
noon was very heavy, and believed to be from
the enemy's gunboats. These movements of the
enemy are, no doubt, only feints, for the purpose
of ascertsining the positions of our forces In
this they were disappointed Whenever they
choose to leave their vessels, the enemy will find
that his onward progress will receive a check
sufficient to keep his troops confined to opera
tions on his own element, and where the advsn.
tage has been altogether on one side.-ChGrisS-

TFRom our EVENING EDITION OF YESTERDAY
The BOmbardnlenI.

Yesterday ening, about six o'clock, two of
the Federal gunboats approached TO within range
Of our lower batteries. One slOOp took her posi-
ton near the Louisiana shore and commenced
paying her compliments by vigorous lombard
ment on the lower batteries. 4 smaller gunboat
approached on this side and took her position
behind the point nearly opposite her consort
They We're, no doubt, trying to hunt up our bat
terieS, and kept firing away some ten or dozen
shells before they could coax shot from the
batteries. Ouy men at last opened on them and
treated them TO some four or five shots from our
water battery, several of which came unpleas-
antly near the Yankees. The first shot fell short
the second went over and fell some distance back
OF her stern, and is supposed TO have taken effect
in her rigging. Another shot fell very close to
her bow, and it is supposed by some that it took
effect, as the vessel Immediately began to make
tracks down the river at Bull Run speed.
The smaller boat kept up her fire for some time
after, and then withdrew to her companions A
large number of citizens were on the bank OF
the river and on the hills to witness the scene.
No damage was done to our batteries, and no one
was hurt. Some of their shells went clear over
and fell a long distance behind the works, and
some fell short The move was no doubt feint
for the purpose OF drawing the fire from all our
batteries, in order to find out their precise local
ity; but in this they discovered that our men
are wide awake, and when the proper time ar
rives the Yankees will find out 70 whereabouts
and exact capacity OF ali our batteries. The
action lasted about one hour, and the enemy
fred twenty shots altogether, without dong any
damage wbatever.-T T,cksburg CuizeH, May 81

| The Federal DeBI-BecOming Alarmed
Abiding to the expenses of the war, the Bos
ton Courier says:
All estimate on this ;crt, whether official
or otherwise have failed to reveal the growing
magnitude of the expenditures OF the govern
ment. and the amount of debt already incurred
MI Chase commenced last summer by estimat-
ing $3.50 900 OOO if we recollect Alright, as need
ed for the year Then the President asked tOr
S4OO, 600 900, and Congress afterwards voted
S5OOOOO, 600. When The next session COM
menced in December, the expenditures were es-
timated at $500 900 GOO, the army alone con-
suming one and half million per day. Now
we are told by the Hon Mr.. Stevens, of Penn
sylvania, that for some time past the eXpendi-
lures have been $4,000, 900 a day, and that the
debt on the coming July l, 'oW not be less than
$500 600 900. Will it be less than thousand
millions Mr.. Stevens position IN the House
gives to his statement " official authority. He
says:
This brings us to the direct question, How
much must be annually raised to pay such in
terest If the war was to end now, or within
sixty days, we could tellvery nearly. suppose
our debt on the lst day OF July next will not be
less than eight hundred millions When, some
time since, | had occasion to address the House
Onthe treasury note bill, / stated our daily ex-
penses at two millions. They are now, and
have been for some tire past, over three millions
day. 1t is plain, therefore, that the sum l
have stated viii be rather below than above our
Indebtedness at the end of this fiscal year. The
interest at seven and thirty -hundredths, will
require about sixty millions annually. How
much this will be increased by the necessary
sacrifice of our bonds, owing to the unfortunate
specie clause il our treasury note bill, II Is hard
to conjecture. The ordinary peace expenses of
government will not be less tnan seventy mill
ions. which added TO the annual interest OF our
debt sixty millions, viii make 1t one hundred
and thirty millions, independent of the advance
on our pension list.

Yesterday morning no little excitement was
created by rumOr which rapidly found circu-
lstion, that the enemy had intercepted commune
cation on the Central railroad, about ten miles
north Of the city. The report was credited the
more readily on account of the fact that it yvas
generally known that small parties of Federal
troops had visited the neighborhOOd several days
previously. A considerable sense of relief was
experienced, however, when about 9 o'clock it
was sscertained that the report was without
foundation, and the mail train, which had been
detained till that hour, left for Staunton We
are assured by those who have favorable oppOr-
tunities of obtaining information, that such is
the disposition of our troops along the line OF
this road that no fears felt for its safety. The
train passed through safely and we learn was
heard from in good time at Hanover junction.
In the afternoon, a brisk engagement occurred
about seven miles from Richmond, and about
three miles from what is known as the head OF
Mechanicsville turnpike. The forces engaged on
our side were one regiment of infantry and two
pieces of artillery, against three regiments of the
enemy The fight lasted about one hour, when
the forces of the enemy were Withdrawn. We
heard of no casualties resulting from ths engage
ments, and the above is all that we were able to
learn with reference to it at the Office of the ad-
jutsnt- t-general-RiohBsOHd Dispatch, Maya.
