from Stannard's Battery. One of these six pound
shots struck poplar tree, about two feet in di.

feet from the General, passing entirely through
the tree, tearing off splinters eight or ten feet
long, and passing on "thro de wildernese."--
Another shot struck a tree seven OF eight inches
in diameter, directly beside the other, but lower

it had been done with saw.

A messenger arrived at ten o'clock last
night, bringing additional news of the bat
tie The engagement took place on Little
Sugar Creek, five miles this side of the
stream of the same name, where skirmish
took place on the march down. In anticI-
patton of an attack on the South, General
Curtis ordered the trains drawn upon the
north side; but unexpectedly the attack
was commenced on the rear-north of our
army-by from / 500 to 1000 rebel cav
airy.
Gen. Sigel, with 500 men, protected The
trains, and for several hours he alternated
retreating and stopping, to hold the rebels
in check, while the trains pushed backwards
to the main body of the army. While
thus engaged, Sigel was three times sur
rounded, but cut his way through each time
The principal lighting, on Thursday, was

Friday, the engagement became general,
and continued so throughout, the officers

The most exposed position was occupied

4th Iowa and LIST Iowa Battery, 35th IIli-
nois Colonel Phelps Regiment and the Gath
Missouri The second brigade, under Col

of his own Regiment, the Dubuque Battery

A letter from Colonel Carr says the losses
in the 4th and 9th Iowa, 18th Illinois and
25th Missouri, are from 100 to 200 in each

New YORK, March I4th.- The meme of
the steamer, with the first portion of the
report, we failed to get.
Gibraltar reports say il was the Lieuten-
ant, not the Captain of the Sumter, that
was arrested.
PARLIAMENT.-Grifith on the Sd, said
he would call the attention of the House of
Commons to the subject.
A final dispatch in the papers relative to
the blockade is from Earl Russell to Lyons,
dated Feb. nth, and says information
shows, Notwithstanding sufficient block
aiding force is off Charleston and Wilminton,
various ships have eluded the blockade =
The Government is of opinion that if suffi-
eient ships are stationed at ports TO prevent
access, or create evident danger TO vessels
entering or leaving, and provided such ships
do not voluntarily permit violations, the
fact that various ships may have escaped
will not of itself prevent the blockade be-
ing efficient--adequacy of force being al
ways a matter of fact and evidence. A
neutral State ought to exercise the greatest
caution with reference to the disregard Of a
de .tdcto blockade, and ought not to disregard
it, except when it entertains the conviction,
shared by other neutrals that the power Of
the blockade is abused by a State either IN
willing to institute or maintain it, and IN
willing, from some motive or other, to
do so.
In reply to enquiries relative to the with
| drawal Of American cruisers from the coast
of Africa, Palmerston said representation
had been made at Washington on the sub

| satisfactory answer to say the cruiser had
| been withdrawn, when the object of with
| drawal was to accomplish something quite
as injurious to commerce.
