Of young men from New Orleans, whose fsmi-
lies scattered in various places, with but few
opportunities of hearing from this section of the
country. In the engagement referred to- the
| enemy's forces consisted of infantry, cavalry
and artillery, to the amount of about $500, per-
hAps more. Our forces were divided, part being
on each side of the bsyou. Those engaged
with the enemy were the 18Th Louisiana and
Crescent regiments, altogether about $50 men,
together with Rslston's battery. The affair was
desperate one with us, and no harder iShsUg
has yet been done during the war You need
not be Informed that we were compelled to
yield to their supsrior numbers bat only after
hard struggle. We felt the forc9 Of the fact
that we were defending our own State, and the
euemy could scarcely believe that We were SO
few in number. After retreating to Thibodsux,
and thence By the Opelousss roilToad to this
place, (ths artillery going by the wagon road

The Speedy Completion Of she Nine Monf
Iers nepemding on an ANDerimema.

The SPEEDY Completion Of che Nine MOnI-
tsrs HependiuR on nH Experiment..
From the New York Times, November :
The question has been asked so often Of late,
" when will we have iron -clads resdy to fiyht -
that it is worth while to answer il definitely
We believe the tiu2e spec fed in the contract be-
tween Mr.. Ericsson and the government has el =
pired, yet three vessels Of the first nine are nos
yet launched, and not one of those that are can
be called ready for sea. The Navy Department
hss sent on here officers for the Passaic but thst
vessel viii not be turned over to them until Il g
problem is decided whether cauuon cen be
fired without prOiruding through the port hole.
Yesterday, at GreenpOint, workmen were en-
gagged in making an iron box near the port, into
which the gun Is supposed to move
The worst Of i is, that the turress noyy ready
for al the nine irOn-clsd Ericsson batteries are
bored like the Passaic's. If Mr. Ercsson's new
theory is impracticable, they will either have to
be cut wider, OF ll-inch guns must suffice. Now
the labor Of boring through or cutting away ary
part OF such \ wall eleven inches thick. is SO
great that were ell the craft otherwise ready for
sea, Is would dctain them two OF three weeks,
and perhaps more.
The recent difficulties experienced in firing
the gun within the turret have net disheartened
the inventor. Another trial is resolved upon be-
fore he sbandons his idea, although the geRer-
slity Of naval officers do not see how il can
work Meantime the iron -clsds are wanted, the
time is up, and the public begin to look to the
Navy Department for work
No new iron-clad vessel at present progressing
can be ready for hostile duty this month, except
the Pssssc. If the next tIial fails, she too will
be delayed. There is no reason why four of
these ships could not be ready for sea by the
first Of December, although almost every one
ordered to them expects to spend Christmas on
shore.
Notwithstanding the good service performed
by the Monitor, her mine sister" ships are mere
experiments in some points In speed they fail
in sv:ry instance 70 coma up to the mark The
PGsEa.c, in soerabe water, cannot make more
than seven knots, and that with clean new
bottom. 10 strong sea tides sh3 would he worth
less, even for eoasIiDg, except she was towed,
and cosld not keep her heAdwsy This is only
the fault of the engines, which seem to have
been built exclusively for haFbor locomotion
The Monitors journey TO Washington proved
that vessels whose bottoms collect filth so rap
idly ought to have moro powerful and better ma
ehinery than that on the Passsic or Monitor.
l! is therefore, obvious that persons expect
ing iron clad reinforcsments for our squadrons
must be patient. Their victories cannot be in
eluded in the Thanksgiving benefits.
The reports in some journals about the " per-
feet success of the new vessels before they are
tried, should be taken like laudanum, very eau
tiously.

? he Burning OF 1he sleauer Blanche.


The Providence Journal prints the following
extract of letter f5om Capt. Charles Hunter, of
tho United States steamer Montgomery, relative
to the burning Of the steamer Blanche, on the
Cuban coast:
After leaving Havana, we sailed about the
coast of Cuba, and saw steamer going rapidly
toward that city, then only eight miles distant
A gun was fired to cause her to stop, but she
continued on her course without noticing it,
until a shell wag fred, when the steamer
stopped, showed English colors, and dropped
anchor. Two armed boats were sent to her,
when the Spanish flag was ,hoisted over the
English and the steamer was run ashore.
Our boats bearded her, and our engineer at
tempted to back the engines, when it was dis
covered that she was on fire, and the crew
escaped TO the shore. Our boats then returned
from the burning steamer, after endesvoriDg in
vain to eXtipguiah the fire, bringing back two
of the crew, who jumped into the boat. One Of
the men was the Spanish pilot, who had been
taken on board at the west end OF the island
The other was an Englishman, going from
Texas to the Havana. l put the Speniard on
board vessel going to the Havana, and brought
the Englisman with me and took his deposition,
stating where he was from, where bound, and
that be believed the vessel was fred by her own
crew. He lost all of his clothes.
' The steamer proved to be the notorious rebel
vessel called General Rlsk, loaded with cotton,
worth $3.50 600, aud hal escaped the blockade
of Texas. She bad English papers, and was
called Blanche. She had run the blockade five
times.
They were very foslish to set Ere to her, for
had I taken her of forcioly, the English govern
ment would have required the Spanish govern
Eent 10 pay for her; and even had met her at
oFaI aavafk korf fv,fo Of, tbo
probably would not have condemned her.
'' 1 vas congratulated by the admiral for my
good fortune IN having been she means of her
destruction, and l ardently hope may be the
means Of destroying half dozen more rebel
vessels which are now in Havana, and preparing
to sail in a few days for any Confederate port
which they can get into"

We clip the following from the last number Of
the Lexington UuiOH:
Lsst Tuesday General Loan ordered this bank
closed, and the president and cashier arrested,
and the business OF the bank put into the hands
Of Judge Burden, s G. Wentworth, Hon. John
T. Ryland. These gentlemen are carrying on
the business of the bank, except discounting.
A few nights since fourteen negroes, belong
ing to our fellow -citizsn George w Baker, and
three to Col. II G. Chids, were taken by
band Of bushwhackers, and by them run off
We understand that Cen Loan has given ten
days to return these negroes, and if not done by
that time, he will sez3 the negroes OF all seces-
soDsis in this county.
During the past week some one hundred and
fifty Of the prominent disloy alists of this county
have bcen arrested and confined in the csllege
A number have been bauished to other STATES,
and we learn that large number will leave next
week--at which time we hope to be able to gIve
their names, together with their destination
Gen. Loan is determined to crush out the rebsl-
lion in his district, and we have no doubt he Will
do it pretty effectualiy.

ForeLg. vicw'Or the Proclamation.

FROM the ChicagO Ilmes
The Prince de JonviIle has just published
in the Paris ReUHe des DenC MOHdes al inter
esting rs well as very remarkable paper on the
subject of tho campaign he recently made, with
his Two royal nephews, by the side Of General
Mcclellan. At the close of the Princes nara
tive, occurs the following striking passage
which we translate for the edihsation of those
who thought the proclamation OF the % of Sep
teUber would "help us abroad -
" If the struggle between the two sections
now in arms should be prolonged. if ths solution
Of their great conflict shoHld be much further
postponed, then evils Of another character may
spring from it. Urged on by the passions and
the necessities of the struggle, the Federal gov
eminent may proclaim ths abolition of slavery,
snd may even be impell.d to employ q ierTibe
means Of carrying on the war, by GTming the
slaves against their masters But such meas

STORY OF PRISONER AT THE SoUTH.-ln
the course of narrative OF experiences as a
prisoner in Richmond, by corporal W. H.
Merrill, published in the Rochester Express
the following incident was related by him -
81 may mention that among the prisoners
sect 10 New Orleans was sergeant st, of
iiIe fourteenth Brooklyn. He was a northern
tr by birth, but had lived in Richmond, where
he was employed an agent for the Sloat
Sewing Machine Company, and during his
residence there he lad formed Il matrimonial
engagement with young lady of genteel and
respectable parentage. Upon the commence
ment OF hostilIties, however, he returned to
the north and enliste<, under the old flag. He
was captured at Bull Run, aud imprisoned us
abIv noticed. BY some means his betrothed
learned OF his misfortune, and being unable TO
obtain abundance To the prison, she daily APP
peared on the opposite side OF the street, walk
III 10 and fro, and communicating with her
lover by signs, as he stood near the window
On the day when the prisoners were sent
away she was early at her pest, and carried in
her hands a small parcel winch she evidently
designed to present him bu, she was not per-
mitIed 10 approach or speak with him, and
she Joined the thrung which followed the pris
oners, weeping bitterly Subsequently we
cuslomed place, opposite the prison, gazing
wisttuliy at the window at which sh had for
meily seen him, as though some consolation
were TO be derived from picture ever present
to the imagination. The prisoners were all
affected by these mourrtul evidences OF her
womanly devotion, aud the subject was seldom
referred TO except with expressions of the
deepest symaathy."
This being somewhat extensively copied
came 10 the notice of Mr.. Ira Steward Of
Hopedale, Mass, and in letter to corporal
Merrill, lie says he was startled and overjoyed
at reading the sketch, Tor the reference is to
his brother, sergeant Henry n. Steward, Co.

Bull Run. This is the first thing he has heard
from him since he was taken prisoner. The

ISsURANoE-A Question Settled The burn

by the privateer Sumter, which was partially
insured in this city, raised the question of the
liability of the Offices under the war clause
This clause was inserted about the time of
the Mexican war, and has remained Mt the
bottom OF the policies since. 1t is as follows ::
Warranted by the assured free from loss or
expense arising from capture, seizure, deten.
ton, or the consequences Of any attempt
thereat, any stipulation in this policy to the
contrary Notwithstanding There can be
but little doubt that under this clause, the
offices could have resisted any claim Tor

that the directors Of the Union Mutual Insur
ance Company have adopted the recommend.

losses sustained by the acts of Southern Con.
federate vessels or privateers shall be paid.
This is an equitable decision. II is in fact
but a continuation of the policy heretofore
pursued in paying losses, when vessels have
been destroyed by barbarous natives, as In
the case OF the bark Superior. This action
of the Union Office, which we believe las
the largest amount at risk, will doubtless be
