FROM FORT WRIGHT.

FoRr WRIGHT, April 30.-There has been
no change in the outward appearance OF
things at this place, for the last two days.
Ceriain indications now point to speedy ter
minaton Of our protracted siege, but am not
at liberty TO say how soon. a deserter today
from the rebel fleet says that the vessel to
which he was attached has been employed
nearly week past, cruising between Mem
phis and this post, In search Of cotton. Every
lot discovered has been burned These lots
varied from five to sixty bales. The aggre
gate destroyed is several thousand bales.

NEWS FxOsT SANTA FEE.

ST. LOUIS, Ma 1.-Mr, Mitchell mer-
chant of New Mexico, arrived yesterday. He
confirms the report of the abandonment OF
Santa Fe by the rebels, vino were retreating
as fast as they could from the territory. They
are destitute OF munitions and provisions, and
there is no hope OF their being supplied from
any quarter. At Santa Fe the rebels levied
heavily on the merchants, in some cases TAX
ing as high as Sl5, 900 worth of goods, paying
in confederate scrip. 1t was believed that
Gen. Candy would now follow the rebels and
drive them out OF the territory. No doubt
exists of the ability Of the federal troops to
keep out invaders, but an accession of two or
cree regiments is necessary to keep the
Apaehes and Navajoes in subsection. They
have been committing depredations for months
past, stealing horses, mules, and every thing
that came in their way. The report of a
formation of territorial government under
rebel authority, has no foundation All the
territorial officers had returned to Santa Fee
and resumed the performance of their duties.
Chief justice Benedict is on the way to the
states. No United States judge is now in the
territory.

either party To terms. With these views,
British commercial and political policy should

peace is hopeless.
The Herald further says that the govern
ment Of Washington be permitted to have one
more chance, and if they fail the great powers
should peremptory interfere, on behalf of the
general well being of mankind, That this has
not been done before, is owing to the generos

started by train of cars in the morning, fol-
lowed by two additional regiments of infantry
and two companies OF cavalry. l found that
our pckets had engaged the enemy's pickets
four miles from Bridgeport, and after sharp
engagement, in which we lost one man killed,
drove them across stream whose railway
bridge had burned. With four regiments OF
infantry, two pieces of light artillery
dragged by hand, and two companies OF cav
airy, at three p. NJ. we advanced to the burnt
bridge, and opened our fire upon the enemy's
piekets on the other side, thus producing the
impression that our advance would be by the
railway. This accomplished, the entire force
was thrown across the country about a mile,
and put on the road leading from Stevenson to
Bridgeport.
The middle column now advanced at very
rapid pace. Our scouts attacked those of the
enemy and drove them from the Bridgeport
road. We !hus succeeded in making a complete
surprise. Immediately forming our line of
battle on the crest of wooded hill, within
500 yards Of the works constructed to. defend
the bridge, at our first fire the rebels broke
and ran. They attempted to blow up the
main bridge but failed. They then attempt
ed to fire the further extremity but the vol
unteers at my call pushed forward in the face
OF their fire, and saved the bridge from the
island to the main shore.
Prisoners taken report FIVE regiments of
infantry and 1900 cavalry stationed at the
bridge This campaign is ended and l now
occupy Huntsville in perfect security, while in
all OF Alabama north of Tennessee river floats
