From the Rio Graude-A Brisk Cotton

having LET'S MiiamOras on the Sd ult. Mr. Blood
represents the Rebels carrying on = brisk cotton
trade through the port Of MstamorS, they having
obtained q license to pass 5000 bales through that
port free OF duty. The cotton is sent TO Europe and
pays for powder, arms and munitions OF war, which
are int odnced Into Rebeldom without let or binder.
snce The Rebels are also obtaining large quanti-
n s of sulphur and saltpeter from Mexico, by way
of Monterey. Mr.. Blood attempted to impede this
traffic bat unsuccesstully ~ the Rebels have active
and energetic agents at Monterey, who speak the
Spanish language, which gives them great advant-
ages over our commercial agents abroad, who seem
To be selected with reference 20 their ignorance OF

mond is now tho point in which are CEN
tered the hopes and apprehcnsions of the
South, and that the Legislature of the
State holds the same opinion is proved
by the following joint resolutions, which
were adopted by that body on tho 18th
ultimo:
"Resolred, BY the General Assembly
of Virginia, That the General Assem-
bly, hereby express its desire that the
capital of the State be defended to the
last extremity. if such defense is in ac-
cordance with the views of the Presi-
dent of the Confederate States and
that the President be assured that what
ever destruction and loss of property Of
the State or individuals shall thereby
result will be cheerfully submitted to.
"Resolved, That commit,e of two

the part of the House. be appointed to

Tho committee has, since the passage
of the above resolutions by the Virginia
Legislature, waited on President Davis,
who replied it was exactly in accordance
with his views and intentions, and that

was received at the War Department

| he President. have the honor to re-
port the safe arrival Of my command at
this place, last evening at 10 o'clock,
and the passage of the fifth corps across
the River to-day with but comparative
ly little loss. The loss of men, killed,
wounded and missing in the different
combats in which my command has par
ticipated since the march from Stras-
burg, on the morning of the Oath inst,
l am unable now to report, but I have
great qualification in being able to rep
resent it, although serious, is much less
than might have been anticipated, con-
sidcring the very great disparity of
forces engaged, and the long maturcd
plans of the enemy, which aimed at no.
thing less than the capture of our force.
A detailed statement will be forwarded
as soon as possible.
My command encountered the enemy
in a constant succession of attacks, and
in we'll contested engagements at Stras-
burg, Middleton, Newton, at a point
also between those places, and al Win
chester.
The force of the enemy was estimated
at fifteen to twenty thousand men, with
very strong artillery and cavalry sup
ports. Our force consisted of tN Brig
AIDES, less than four thousand strong all
told, fifteen hundred cavalry, ten Parrot
guns and six smooth bores.
The substantial preservation of the
entire supply is q source of gratifca-
tion. 1t numbered about 500 wagons,
on forced march of 43 miles, 35 of
which were performed in one day. sub
ject to attack in front, rear and flank,
according to its position, by the enemy
in full force. tho panic of teamsters and
tho mischances of a river passage OF
more than three hundred yards in width,
and the slender preparations for ford and
ferry. it lost but so wagons. A full
statement of this loss will be forwarded
forthwith.
Very great consideration is due to
d. S. B. Hallabard, Quarter Master,
and Il. Beckwith, for the safety of the
teams. Our troops are in good spirits.
and occupy both sides of the river.

and squadron of cavalry approached
the bridge from this side, thus attracting
the attention of the four companies. -
The first knowledge the rebel Tigers
had of the near approach of an enemy,
was vollcy from the thirty muskets,
at short pistol range, making havoc in
their ranks, and causing serious panic.
The main body of our troops advanced
in front and opened deadly Ere, The
result was thirty of the enemy were
taken prisoners. fifteen wounded, and
between sixty and seventy left dead on
the field. Among the prisoners taken
was captain. The loss on our side was
one killed, and one mortally and ak
slightly wounded: This affair about
ends the career of the Tigers as a regi-
ment.

spared, and the Captain saw the rebels draw
their pistols and shoot them in the head
whilst lying on the roadside. The Captain
told the men they had better return to the
pike, and escape as they best could.
After succeeding in making his way out
in company with Lieutenant Camphor, they
come across the ambulance in which Col
Kenly lay, attended by Surgeon Mitchell, of
the Regiment. The vehicle was passing
along the pike, and had been repeatedly fred
into by the Rebel cavalry. Out Of the num-
of thirty-scven men, belonging to the bat
tory, only three escaped.
