raging at Island No. 10
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 1sth.-It is consider
ed that we have, probably, secured great
military advantages by the capture of New
bern, which places the safety of Gen. Burn
side beyond question.
It appears that many exaggerated
statements having been made as TO the
mortality in the army, it is sscertained from
official sources that the number of deaths
among the troops stationed here for the
quarter ending June. wore % regulars
and fUrUy-six volunteers; for the quarter
ending September, forty-eight regulars and
seventy-four volunteers; and for the quarter
ending December, one hundred and eight
regulars and two thousand nine hundred
and seventy volunteers. Total number OF
deaths, 1890, of which one hundred were
from wounds. The above deaths were in
two hundred and ffty-seven regiments, in
Guiding those of the army of the Potomac.

The GALLANT WoRDEN.-Lieut. Wyse, of
the Navy, was the first to board the Moni-
tor after her fight with the Merrimac. De-
scending through the man hole, be unex-
pectedly found himself in neat parior,
confronting a midshipman washing blood
from his hands at stand, and an officer
combing his hair at mirror. Lieut.. WOr-
den laid on a sofa, blind and bleeding. Rec
ognizing Wyse by his voice, he inquired ::
" Have / driven of that monster 2" You
have" "Then l am willing to die" said
the gallant sailor, Wyse insisted on his
going home with him. He is now his guest
in Washington. The President, who hon
ors fighting men, called upon him on Tues
day night, and, nervous from his recent af-
Fiction, and grateful to courage and SYM
pathetic with the wounded, burst into tears
while greeting the sailor.

MORNING REPORT.
TRIBUNE's DISPATCH.

WASHINGTON, March l7th.-Delegations
from a great number of business interests
are here, each suggesting modification Of
the tax bill in its favor. Concessions have
already been made in committee to the iron
makers, in making the tax specific instead
of ad valorem. To the newspapers, making
the advertisement tax three, instead of five
per cent; also, on tobacco, reducing it on
leaf and stem and raising it on manufaetnr-
ed; to coal oil sellers who will be destroyed by
the competition of the rock oil, combined
with the tax proposed to the umbrella and
parasols change from specific to Eve per
cent. ad valorem; to hoop skirts the same,
and to omnibusses entire freedom from tax
on passengers. 1t was shown that it would
be fatal to them in competing with horse rail-
roads. Tax has also been stricken off from
the manufacture Of -four. This was done
by delegation from Rochester, who showed
that it would be fatal to their business.
al along the line effected by the Recip-
rocity treaty, the tax would enable the
Canadian millers to undersell in our own
market.
The nominations of Daniel E. Sickles and
Paul r. George, of New Hampshire, were
rejected. Gen. Lockwood's nomination
was suspended. The limits of the Depart
ment to which Gen. Hunter has been as
signed having been incorrectly stated, il
may not be improper to state that it COM
prises the States of South Carolina, Georgis
and Florida. Gen. Sherman will be re-
tanned in the Department under Gen. Hun
ter.
Capt. W. W Peck, of the 11th infantry
formerly of Chicago, died to-day.
Senator Sumner viii tomorrow introduce
bill repeating an act originally passed in
| 1910, and declaring that henceforth nc
person by reason of color shall be disquali
fed from employment in carrying the mails
The Hon. Richard Fauohet, of the 18th
New Tord District, has obtained the sigma
lures of about one hundred and fifty Sena-
| tors and Representatives to memorial tt
Congress asking that sutter rations be
served out to the army.

ST. LOUIS, March TSrn1-z1 s1s0Es 49,
since, anticipating the rebel movements in
Texas county, Mo-, Gen. Halleck ordered
four companies of troops and two light
steel six-pounders, mounted on two wheels
and drawn by two horses, under Col. Wood,
to repair to that vicinity. On finding no
enemy there, Col. Wood pushed on to Sa-
lem, Fulton county, Ark, where he encoun-
tered largely superior force of the rebels,
and, after sharp fight, routed them, killing
about 100, and taking many prisoners.-
Among the latter is the Colonel. Our loss
was about Fifty. "a
The prisoners taken by Gen. Curtis, at
Pea Ridge, are now en- route for st. Louis,
under proper guard.
The reports that Gen. Curtis is in dam
gerous position, are false. Forage for cav
airy is scarce, but in all other respects the
situation of our troops is cheering. The
demoralized and crippled forces of Price
and Van Dorm are moving southwark.

SPECIAL TO TEE TINES.

BALTIMoRE, March 1s.-The enemy's
works six miles below Newborn were at
tackled on Friday morning last. They were
defended by q force ten thousand strong,
having twenty-one guns posted behind
formidable batteries over two miles long.
The fight was one of the most desperate of
the war. Our troops behaved with great
steadiness and courage, and after nearly
four hours hard fighting drove the rebels
from all their positions, capturing three
light batteries of field artillery, forty-six
heavy siege guns, large stores of liked ann
munition, 1000 stand of small arms and
two hundred prisoners, including one Colo
mel, three Captains, and four Lieutepants.
The enemy left large number Of dead on
the field. They escaped by cars to Colds :
boro, burning the bridges behind them over
the Trent and Claremont, and firing the
city of Newbern No extensive damag
was done to the place. We lost shout one
hundred killed and Major Legonder of tbs
! 5lst New York volunteers, MORALLY wound
ed; Lieut.. Col. Merritt, of the 23d Massa
chusetts, and Adjutant r. A. Stems of tbs
| 3Ist Massachusetts, were also killed

BALTIMORE, March 49, Sergeant Maio,
D. s. Jones of the 23d Massachusetts, Reoi-
ment, came up q passenger by the steamer
I Commodore From him we gather the fol.
lowing interesting particulars
Our troops, under General Burnside
Handed on Thursday evening near the mouth
OF Swan Greek on the west side of the
Neuse river, 10 miles below Newbern.-
Owing to dense fog the naval vessels did
not participate in the fight.
EARLY on Friday morning the fight COM
nnenced. Our troops advanced along the
country road running parallel with the
Neuse River, but mile or two in the rear.
The road was skirted on the west side by a
railroad, and thence all along the river side
were series Of batteries, which were taken
BY our troops ore after another. After
some, bloody hand to hand contests. our
troops were divide.' into three briqades. nm
der Generals Reno, Foster, and Parks. We
their guns until We reached a line of earth
works extending across the road from the
river to the swamp on the west, a distau &c
of some two miles. These earthworks were
very strong. They were located about two
miles south of Newbern, and between there
and the city ran the River Trent. The
country road and the railroad both passed
these works and crossed into the city by
bridges. In front of these works the rebels
have felled large number of trees, form
ing an almost impenetrable abattis. Here
the flying rebels rallied and made. for a
while, a desperate stand. Our men fought
until their ammunition was spent, when an
order to "charge bayonets" was given.
and the works were finally taken at the
point of the bayonet, the enemy flying and
leaving everything behind them. On their
retreat, they burnt the bridges connecting
with the town over which the country road
and railroad ran. As they had their trains
of cars on their road just across their
bridges, they of course were able to carry
off their wounded and dead Their loss
is therefore not certainly known, but it
must be severe. Before our troops reached
this last work, they encountered another,
which was deserted before they came up.-
II was in front of this last work, that our
loss was sustained. The force of the rebels
is supposed to have been about 8, 900: We
captured a number of prisoners, including
Col. Avery, who cursed his soldiers as cow
ards. just as the battle terminated the fog
lifted and enabled our gunbcats, which
had waited for an opportunity TO partici-
pate ia the tight, to come up the river, and
our troops were furnished with means of
transport across the Trent to Newbern.-
The rebels attempted to fire the town on
their retreat, but were prevented by the
citizens, who extinguished the flames as fast
as they were started by the soldiers. None
of our Generals or staff officers were killed
or wounded. We captured from 30 to 40
cannon. The officers Of the rebels left
their baggage behind, and the men threw
away everything. The fight terminated at
P. n. Friday, when our troops remained
masters of the field.

xxxvII CONGRESS- SECOND SESSION
WAsHINeroN, March ls.

WASHINGTON, March l8.
SENATE.-Fessenden from the Committee
on Finances, reported back the Indian ap-
preparation bill without amendment.
Fesssenden offered the following resolu-
ton: i-
ResoJUed, That the Secretary of the Navy
| furnish the Senate copies of all contracts
with z. L. Stephens for floating batteries
Also, statement of all payments on said
contracts, and the report OF the Commits
sioners appointed to examine said battery.
Mr.. Sumner introduced bill to remove
all disqualification of color in carrying the
mail. Confirmed.
Mr.. Wilson of Mass, from the Military
Committee, reported back the joint resolu-
ton, authorizing the President to assign
the command of troops in the same field
without regard to seniority, with an amend
ment striking ont the portion giving the
President power to dismiss from the ser
vice. The amendment was adopted and
the resolution passed.
On motion of Trumbull, the bill to pro-
vide for judicial proceedings on captured
property and for the better administration
-of low Va pTl1es5 was s-l-a-- mn and
passed
The resolution offered by Mr. Starke, of
Oregon, that the papers in reference to the
loyalty of Mr.. Starke be referred to the Ju-
dietary Committee, was taken up.
Mr.. Hale thought the question was al
ready settled, and hoped the Senate would
spend no more time upon it.
Mr.. Howard wanted to know if the Sen
ator from Oregon intended to go into an
investigation of the question.
Mr.. Starke said be had offered a resolu-
ton to show that he had no indisposition to
meet the charge of disloyalty anywhere,
aud that he had no intention of being his
own prosecutor.
HoUsE.-The House considered the SEN
ate bill to increase the efficiency of the
Medical Department of the army.
Mr.. Blake said he had no doubt that the
army of the Potomac had been well and
carefully medically provided for, but it was
not so as for the Western boys, who had
been murdered by neglect He had re-
ceived letters from fathers and mothers, be-
seeching him to have something done 80 as
to save the lives of their children.
Mr.. Blair, of Mo-, said that steps will be
taken by the head of the medical depart
msnt to appoint Director General, who
combined experience with great surgical
skill
Mr.. Blake caused to be read an article
in the Cincinnati Times, showing the gross
ineficiency in the medical department of
the West.
Mr.. Kellogg, of Illinois, pronounced the
article a scurrillous and vile Islander, and
this was apparent on it's face. 1t was bad
taste to have the article read here.
Mr. Blake regretted extremely that the
gentlemen thought it necessary to adj
minister to him such a rebuke. His want
of good taste might be owing TO his
early training. The article contained facts
under the editors own observation. The
subject was then passed over, and the House
went into committee of the whole on the
tax bill. The proceedings were confined to
and amending the general pro-
visions.
