ISLAND No. 10, Aprils 9Th.
Hon. GIDEON WELLS, Secretary of the
Navy:
have to inform tho Department that
since / sent the telegram last night announ-
cling the surrender to me of Island No. 10,
possession has been taken both Of the Island
and the works upon tho Tennessee shore by
the gun-boats and the troops under com
mand of Con. Bufort. Seventeen officers
and S6s privates, besides 100 Of their sick
and 100 on board the transports, arc in our
hands, uncondlionaly prisoners Of war.
81 have caused hasty examination TO be
made OF the forts, batteries and amunitions
Of war captured. There are eleven earth
works, with 10 heavy cannon, ranging in
calibre from 80 to 100 Founders rihed.-
The magazines arc well supplied with pow
der, and there are large quantities Of shot
and shell aud other munitions Of war, and
also, great quantities of provisions. -Four
steamers afloat have fallen into our hands,
and two Others, with the rebel gun-boat
Grampus, are sunk, but will be easily rails
ed. The floating battery of 16 heavy guns,
turned adrift by the rebels, is said to be
lying on the Missouri shore, below New
Madrid. -.-l.-
"The enemy upon the mainland appear
to have fed with great precipitation after
dark last night, leaving in many cases half
prepared meals in their quarters, and there
seems to have been no concert of action be.
tween the rebels upon the Island and those
occupying the shore, but the latter fed
leaving the former to their fate. These
works, erected with the highest engineering
skill, are of great strength and with theil
natural advantages would have been impre
enable, if defended by men fighting in a
better cause.
"a combined attack of the naval aud
land forces would have taken place this P
NJ. or tomorrow morning, had not the reb
els SO hastily abandoned this stronghold
To mature the plans of attack, absolutely
required 23 days of preparation.
"Gen. Pope is momcntarily expected tc
arrive with his army at this point, he hav
ing successfully crossed the river yesterda,
under a heavy fire, which no doubt led t
the hasty abandonment of the works.
"I am unoficially informed that the two
gun-boats which so gallantly ran the fire o
the rebel batteries few days since, yester
day attacked and reduced fort of the enc
my opposite, dismouutiDg heavy guns.

Flag-officer Commanding"

GENTLEMEN You will receive by the
mail which will carry you this despatch
evidence which will convince you that the
aggressive movement Of the rebels against
the States remaining faithful to the Union
is arrested, and that the forces OF the
Union, strengthened and re-animated, are
again ready to undertake II campaign ON
vast scale.
If you consult the newspapers you Will
easily perceive that the financial resources
of the insurrection decline rapidly, and that
the means of raising troops have been ex-
hausted. On the other side you will see
that the financial situation OF the country
is GOOD, and that the call for fresh troops,
without which the material force Of the
nation would be seriously crippled, is being
promptly responded to.
| have already informed our representa-
tives abroad of the approach of a change
in the social organization Of the rebel
States. This change continues to make
itself each day more and more apparent,
In the opinion of the President the mo-
ment has come to place the great fact more
clearly before the people of the rebel States,
and to make them understand that if these
States persist in imposing upon the country
the choice between the dissolution Of this
Government, at once necessary and boneii-
cial, and the abolition of slavery, it is the
Union and not slavery that must be main
tanned and saved With this object the
President is about to publish a proclama-
ton in which he announces that slavery
will no longer be recognised in any OF the
States which shall be in rebellion on the
LIST of January next. While all the good
and wise men Of all countries will recog-
nze this measure as a just and proper
military act, intended to deliver the eoun'
try from terrible civil war, they will re-
cognize at the same time the moderation
and magnanimity with which the Govern
ment proceeds in u matter so solemn anC
important.
am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,

LErrER FROM GEN. JOHN A. DIX.

The following letter Of Gen. Dix, to friend in
New York, in which he declines being candi-
date in the coming election in that State, s both
patriotic and just;
FoRrREss MONROE, Oct. 22d, 1862.
-;-My name, l see, is again
used in connection with political Office, without
my knowledge or consent. l shall remain at my
post, doing all can TO sustain the Government
in putting down the rebellion and Mt "a moment
when the existence of the nation is hanging by
thread, cannot leave my duties here TO be drawn
into any party strife. Neither will ever assent
to any adjustment of the contest with the insur-
gent States which shall acknowledge their sue
cess.
The rebellion began in fraud, dishonor and
violence, and must end in submission to the Con-
attution and the laws, The secession leaders
have put the contest grounds which would
make success on their part indelible disgrace to
us.
In my sphere OF duty, my intention is to carry
on the war without either violence to the Const-
tuition or to the principles of justice aud human
ity and to contend tn the last TO avert triumph
over all that is stable in government or honor
able in political companionship.
My whole course through life has proved my
devotion to democracy and conservative prnci-
PIES No assurance should be needed that this
faith is unchanged. But at moment like this,
unless oil parties will rally around the Govern
ment in putting down this rebellion, leaving
questions among ourselves to be settled when the
national honor is vinlicated and our existence
as a nation secured, there can be nothing for US
in tue future but disaster aud disgrace.

A JOKE ON THE REBELs.-When Gen. Silrs
division left Frankfort they removed the two
monster cannon from their position on the hills
over South Frankfort. Some Union men Of
Frankfort, during the night, planted there two
empty beer kegs in the place of the cannon, and
covered them with tarpaulins A lot of Morgan 8
cavalry were scouting around the kegs, but fear
ed to enter Frankfort lest they should be charged
up. Finally they made bold and daring charge
on the "battery," and captured it without the
loss Of man. 1t was then that the rebels pounced
upon an unprotected city, but General Dumont's
forces soon let them know it was not the "battlc
OF the kegs" when he attacked them. It was
these men and two empty beer kegs that kept
the enemy from burning all the bridges around
Frankfort.
