Mr.. Mitchell, q merchant from New
Mexico, arrived ia this city yesterday
He confirms the abandonment Of Santa Fe
by the rebels. They we're retreating as
fast - they could from the Territory
They are destitute Of all munitions and
provisions, and there il no hope Of their
being supplied from any quarter. At
Santa Fe the rebels levied heavily on mer-
chants. in some cases taking as high AZ
SIS, 900 worth Of goods, paying IN Con-
federate scrip. II is believed Gen. Candy
would now follow the rebels and drive
them out Of the Territory. No doubt ex-
lists of the ability Of Federal troops to
keep out invaders, but an accession Of
two or three regiments Of troops is neces-
sary % keep Apaches and Navajoes 10
subsection. They have been committing
depredatiops for months past, stealing
horses, mules, and everythiag that came
in their way. The report q the forma-
ton Of . territorial government under
rebel authority has no foundation. All
territorial officers had returned 10 Santa
Re and resumed performance of their du-
ties. Chief Justice Benedict is on his
way to the States. No u. s. Judge now
Ii the Territory.

London, l9.--The London Times ed
iiorially expatiatcs ON the Importance Of

the occupation of that place by the Fed

The morning Herald, conservative or
gan has sarcastic editorial on the pro-
tracted continuance of the American
struggle, Federal predictions to the con-
tnry, notwithstanding. 1t sees no signs
Of exhaustion in the North and no dis
couragement in the South, and believes
that no probable military achievement on
either side win suffice to bring either
party to terms. With these views our
commercial and political policy should be
regulated on the conviction that q speedy
peace Is hopeless. The Herald further
says that the Government Of Washington
should be permitted TO have one more
chance, and if they fail the Great Powers
should peremptorily interfere in behalf
of the general well being Of mankind
That this has not been done before IL
owing to the generosity of England, as
France was ready, but it 10 time that Eng
land should cease to stand between her
own people and the relief they need.

To 3. NJ. STANTON, sec'y Of War:
On yesterday, the enemy having cut
cur wires attacked during the night one
Of our brigadcs. ! deemed it my duty to
head in person the expedition against
Bridgeport. ! started by train Of cars
in the morning followed BY two additional
companies Of cavalry. / found that our
pickets had engaged the enemy's pickets
tour miles from bridgeport, and after =
sharp engagement in which we lost one
killed, drove them across a stream, the
railroad bridge of which had previously
burned with regiment of infantry, 2
pieces Of artillery, dragged by hand, and
Q companies cavalry At Bridgeport. We
advanced to the burnt bridge and opened
our Ere Upon the snemyls pickets on the
other side, thus producing the impression
that our advance would be by the rail-
road. This accomplished, the entire
force was thrown across the country about
mile and put on the road leading from
Stevenson to Bridgeport. The middle
column now advanced at rapid pace
Oar scouts attacked those of the enemy
and forced them from the Bridgeport
road. We thus succeeded in making
complete surprise; Immediately forming
our line of battle on the crest ofa wooded
hill within FIVE hun dred yards Of the
works constructed to defend the bridge.
At onr FIRST fire the rebels broke and ran.
They attempted to blow up the main
bridge, but failed then attempted to Ere
the further extremity, bu, the volunteers
at my call pushed forward IN the ERE and
saved the bridge from the island; from
the main shore we could not save it. It
is of small moment its length but $50
fest Prisoners report 8 regiments Of in
fantry and 1900 cavalry stationed at the
bridge. This campaign 10 ended and I
now occupy Huntsville in perfect securi-
ty, while in all Alabama north Of the Ten
nessee river floats no flag, but the Old
Flag.

Fort Pillow, April 80.
There has been no change in the out
ward appearance Of things ut this place
since my last dispatch. Certain indica-
tions now point to speedy termination
Of our protracted siege. / am not At lib
erty to say how soon.
A deserter arrived to-day from the reb-
Ell gunboat feet. He says that the ves-
sci to which he il attached has been EN-
played for nearly week past in cruising
between the Fort and Memphis, in search
Of cotton. Every lot that WAS discovered
was at once burned. Tbese lots varied
from FIVE to sixty bales each. Thesag-
gregate burned vas svsral thousand bales.
Another lot OF nifty bales Of tho southern
staple has been discovered in this vicinity,
and seized By Com. ,Foote.
Montgomery's rebel gunboat fleet from
New Orleans has arrived of the Fort
and joined Hollin's feet. The rebels
have now sufficiently strong naval force
to make show Of resistance Ut least, and
Il i believed that when We advance they
will fight with al the desperation Of cor
nersd rats indeed they can do nothing
else. They are between two federal
deets; and must light Or die.

EE Another requisition, we under.
stand. has just been made on the slave
holders of Prince George and Surry coun-
ties, for one half the negroes between the
ages of sixteen and fifty years, to 60 TO
Williamsburg to work on the Notifications
in that vicinity. Not knowing the exigen-
cies of the public service, we presume
that the demand is Ill right; but We have
serious apprehensions that these fertile
counties will contribute very small quo
ia to the staff Of life for the support Of the
country another year. The abstraction
of SO great an amount Of labor could not
have occurred at more critical moment
Petersburg VA Express, April 10.
Every secesh sympathizer or Constitu-
ton stickler will swear that that's oil right,
for the slaves are the property of the
traitors who use them, build forts and
construct entertainments, so that their
owners can operate more safely and effec-
lively in the work of killing loyal men,
But it is plainly unconstitutional, they
insist, to take these slaves away from
traitors, and horrible beyond expression
to employ them to do the same service f,r
our loyal armies in defence of the Union
and the Constitution.
