We find the following reference to the causes
Of Gen. Pillows late resignation. in the cores
pondenee of the Charleston Mercury from Colum-
bus, Kentucky:
The current report is that the cause of his res
ignation was a disagreement with Gen. Polk,
about an order issued to the division quartermas-
ter. Forage being scarce, and Gen. Pillow
thinking that the principal forage master was
not exercising sufficient energy to keep the army
horses from suffering and death, ordered the
quartermaster Of the,division to send out some
teams to procure hay for the horses Of the diyis-
ion. To this Gen. Polk objected, and expressed
his objection to Gen. Pillow in a violent and an
CRY manner. While tins was the immediate
cause, there has been, as I learn, a long series
disagreements between Msj-Geu. Polk and Gen
Pillow, about the method of conducting the
campaign. The former exceedingly kind, be-
n~evolent and charitable in his disposition, was
it is supposed, inclined to pursue the Fabian
policy Of defensive operations. The latter, ener-
getie aggressive, ard practical in his nature, was
for carrying out the NapOleonic idea, of catching
the enemy wherever he could find them, and Of
whipping them wherever he caught them.

GAsPE BAY, January 4-The screw steamer

shores Of this bay, sailed from Liverpool for
Canada, with troops, etc, December IS. She
passed Cape Race December %.
An English paper informs us that the Austria
lasian had on board AZ officers and 1885 men
namely, 4th brigade Royal Artillery. The Aus
~tralasian had also on board four men of the army
hospital train, two horses. six Armstrong field
guns, nine tuns Of ammunition for the ordnance,
and 600, 000rounds of Enfield ball cartridges, etc
The destination of the Australasian was the
mouth Of the st. Lawrence. with instructions to
steam up to the island Of Bic, or the Riviere du
Loup, and land the troops and stores at which
ever point is accessible. Should the prevalence
Of ice prevent either point being reached, the
vessel was to make for Halifax, Nova Scotia, OF
st. John, n. b., according to the Judgment of

been seen, is in the Gulf of st. Lawrence, near
the southern side Of the entrance to the river St.

The Closing Of the baltimore Railroad
Tue following, from the Boston AdUertiser
will convey some idea of the loss sustained BY
the Federal government from the closing of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the blockade Of
the Potomac
We doubt if the public have any conception
Of the immense amount Of property which has
been lying dead on the banks Of the Potomac
cince the blasting wind Of rebellion swept over
that beautiful country. Since the destruction OF
the bridges on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
thirty-one millions Of dollars, which distributed
yearly to its owners nearly two millions and a
half Of earnings, has been almost as dead as if 1t
lay at the bottom Of the river.
The year ending September 30, 1860, this road
carried into Baltimore 1880 cars loaded with
freight. Part of this was $4,000 head Of cattle,
10000 hogs, 45 200 sheep, 1000 horses and
100000 tuns OF coal.
While this great avenue is shut up, whose bus
mess it is TO bring 70 our army the very provis-
ions they need, straight from the region where
they are cheapest, how strange it is TO see q sane
man propose that government shall contract a
new line from New York TO Washington.
While We should be sorry to see eny public
pressure brought on Gen. Mcclellan 10 do any
thing whatever, we think the opening of this
road is Of such vast Importance, not only to the
west, but to the whole country, that it is clearly
the duty of the government to see that military
protection is given, and the road opened with the
least possible delay

COLUMBUS TNTRLLICENCr

From the Confedera'e News, January 49,
On Saturday, at about halEpast one O'Clock,
the Benton and St Louis, two prominent Lin
colnite %gunbOats. made their appearance about
tour or i've miles above our Qualifications and
engaged in a conflict with our boats, the Polk re-
turning the FIRE at proper intervals. There were
eight or ten shots fired on each side, but the
Yankees failed to injure us at all. One of their
balls fell within twenty feet of the Grampus, it
is supposed another passed over the bow of
the Polk. From the report, the Benton must
have guns Of pretty heavy cahber. We do not
know whether our boys done any harm to the
invaders or not. The firing having ceased, cur
boats came in.
The daring, impetuous little Grampus, after
resting awhile, bolted up the river again at the
rate OF 2:40 to see to matters and things
generally.
There was much excitement, and at a mo-
ment's warning cur gallant leaders and soldiers
were at their posts, ready for any emergency
that might ensue.
Since the difficulty of Saturday our army
have been preparing for the enemy. Should the
miniOns OF Lincoln come down in the next
twenty-four hours, they will meet with a very
warm reception.
FALSE ALARM-Satur1ay night at a late hour
the alarm was given that the enemy was about
to make an attack by land. The line Of battle
was formed, our men ready for the fray, but 10

A knowing friend Of ours, in this city. who

one would judge from their maneuverings that
they anticipate a 4" down the Mississippi . move
at an early date. SO, if reports be true, we may
expect the Yankees in a short time. Come on.
