The Fortress Monroe correspondent, of the
Phladelphia Ledger, under date of the 20tn,
says -,
Yesterday evening, about half-past six
o'clock, the new rebel battery, on the North
side of SewelPs Point, opened upon Fort Wool
Grip Raps, with shell, firing three shots. The
first fell short of its object nearly half mile,
the second came a little nearer, and the third,
shell, burst in the air some three hundred
yards FROM the Rip Raps The coumandant
of Fort Wool answered these three shots
promptly with Sawyer and James rified guns.
After the first shell from the Sawyer gun,
which seemed to fall and explode in the rebel
battery. the chivalry hauled down their flag
and probably left the premises, as their gun
was thereafter silent. The firing was kept up
from Fort Wool until dark, some of our shells
passing entirely over the Point, and others
exploding in the woods with fearful fash and

In the recent fight at Lees Mills near York
town, it seems that our boys had the best oi
it.
The rebels bad engaged at Lees Mills two
regiments and seven pieces of artillery they
had more artillery and infantry about mile
back, but did not bring them into actien.
The infantry were the "Louisiana Cut
Throats " and the Fifth North Carolina when
our battery opened upon them in the morning
they did not know where the shot came from
for some time, but finally concluded it was
from the edge of the woods, and returned the
fire. Our shelis made fearful havoc, exploding
right over their guns, and forty or fifty men
were soon carried out dead or wounded, when
the order was given to cease firing as they
could not see where their shots were going,
and did not know what they were doing
Some of the artillery were 10th to quit anc
were firing aparting salute, when a shell tore
through the carriage of their gun, and, ex
ploding, killed all the men and thew the gun
seveai feet The rife balls were singing all
around, and whenever head was shown POP
went a ball, and added another to tho list ol
killed and wounded.
They crawled out of the fort through the
ditch which bad been dug for this purpose,
aud seeking cover of the woods, all was soon
quiet When the artillery again appeared,
reinforcements having come up, the colonel in
command Of the brigade was riding over near
the edge to see the location of the ground wheE
q rife ball took him through the head, killing
him instantly.
When the infantry commenced to cross and
reached the rifle pit they began to fall back
into the woods, but the cry was given that
there was only one company, and the whole Of
the rebels lover four thousand now rushed
upon them 10 cut them to pieces. The terrific
fire Of canister and shell they received az they
sailed out Of the woods broke them up. and
they again Red to cover and contented them
selves With shooting from behind trees at our
men as they were retiring.

Affairs at New Orleans.

A correspondent of the Missouri Republicans,
writing from opposite Fort Wright, April 2Osh,
says
from New Orleans by working as a deck hand on
the John w Wesh. He came up on the boat to a
point below New Madrid. when he deserted and
waded through the water to our lines. He tells
me that tho French Legion. body of men com
nosed Of the Oldest creole families, are in state
of semi rebellion against the Confederate Govern
ment. They were among the most enthusiasts;
expecting the Intervention of France, bat when
Yancsy returned home and told his dolefnl ste :
ry, they shrugged their shoulders. They could mt
move without the nod of Napoleon. Their arms
were demanded, bu: they refused to give them
up They are now walking the streets, and the
authorities did not dare 10 attempt disarming
them by force.

PuLAskl AND SuaPTER. If Fort Pulaski
had been taken two days later, it would have
fallen on the anniversary of the capture Of
Sampter.
It's reduction has some points of striking
relation to that famous siege. It resembles
the capture Of Sumpter more than any ether
military operation of the war, being the re.
duction of regularly fortified work by regu-
Jar siege batteries. The very tri1ing loss in
this last case will clear up any doubts that any
may feel as to the reported absence of loss at
Sampter. Pulaski had q garrison fiye times
as numerous as that of Sumpter.

CAMP VI, Va, Nov. 9th, 1862.
Mr.. EDITOR Il will endeavor to give
you brief description of our first picket
dnty, which is the first of any kind of
duty, that We have had the privilege of
performing for the Government to assist
in putting down this infamous rebellion.
Last Monday, Nov 3D. in the forenoon,
We pitched tents at Camp Vt, also, we
had orders to fall in for picket at IL IL
o'clock, p. m, therefore we had dinner at
one half past eleven, a. m.
All, as you might expect were on hand
for dinner, after which our days rations
we're dealt out, also ten additional rounds
of cartridges. When the order came to
fall ill.," every man was ready with his
cartridge box and belt on, and quickly
took his place in the ranks. Every coun-
tcnance looked bright, and all were anx-
ious to be off.
Companies G, ID, L, H and were de-
tailed from this Regiment, for picket du-
ty, to start at that time. Col. Brown (be-
Ing officer Of the guard, marched us in
westerly direction for about one mile,
when we we're halted, and our Company

lance for man and beast of the pcrscrlcd
weekly rest, the sacred rights of Christ
ian soldiers and sailors, becoming def
orence to the best sentiment of q Christ

fend be imperilled by the PROCLAMATION of
the day and name of the Most High, at

words of Washington in l776, "men
may find enough to do in the service of
God and their country without abandon
ing themselves to vice and immortality"
The first general order issued by the ia

viii the Rebels Emancipatc.

Some weeks ago, report came by way
of Kentucky that Jeff Davis and his cab
met were seriously considering the pro-
ject of emancipating the slaves of the
confederacy, in order to secure recognition
from the European powers. The Ken
lucky papers continue to repeat the state
ment as if they believe it, and they no W
say further that the plan of the rebel
leaders is to employ the slaves in the
war; promising them their liberty at its
close; and they add that the only consid-
Grafton that prevents the adoption of this
policy is the fear that the southern people
will rebel against it. What basis of
truth there may be for these reports it is
impossible to say. They may be used
by Kentucky Unionists in order to recon-
