FROM CUMBERLAND GAP,
Progress ef the Expedition to East
Tennessee,


sEvEs5n Dfs1slos, ARaT OF THE oH1o, |
CUMBERLAND FORD, KF., May 18th, 1852
Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Comne.ctal.l
have often wondered why newspapers have
10 many correspondents. I think know now.
After coming in from drill, as one lays in his
tent during the beat Of the day, yawning and
stretching, and not knowing how to anuse
will write to the Commercial, and immediately
he takes pen in band and begins. Nov, per
chance they. like myself, wiu be at q loss for
something to write about.
This division, commanded by Grig. General
Morgan. is composed of i Il + 4 br1sades.
Things are beginning to assume an active
appearance, the regiments drill about stxhours
aday; picEets are sent out in every direction,
and every one is on the alert The weather
for week or so past has been very good, and
the roacs, which few weeks ago were almost
impossible, are now getting tolerablY good.
In fact, The roads were SO badat one time, that
Most OF the men In these new Tennessee regi-
ments forming here, were SIT to work on
them.
Supplies are obtained now without any great
trouble, although We are still Oh short rations
of spgar and coffee We hare to depend alto
gether on our supplies, as it is impossible to
get anything here, ho "eyer.We did saeceed in
but tho were brought six miles over the noun
tain.
II any one wants to get as near out Of the
wurld as they can, without goirg six feet undel
ground, let them come here. You can't set
more than two miles, as we are shut in On al
sides by mountains, and it is as dull as can be
Our company has subscribed for your daily
yet, if we get one week, and it be wccl
old, We think ourselves fortunate indeed Th'
mails are carried on horseback, aud it takes
letter about 8 week to 90 through to Cincin
nnti.
If any one ever came into these mountain
for the benefit of their health, think the,
must have been greatly mistaken. The day
here are very hot and the nights equally cool
with togs. The troops suffer great deal frop
aguc aud diar1hea, especiaiiy those who hav
recently came here.
The boys arc all anxious for I fight, and wan
to be moving towards Knoxville, Tenn, a
Eoon SIS possible. They think then We woul
be out Of these mountains, and IN a conntr
that would seem as though it had been civil
lied, although the people may be very unciv]
at present.
The rebels are very strongly fortified at th
Gap, but how large force thaT have cam
say, but hope Will soon have IN opportuhit
to 60 up and see.

no BATTLE YET At FORT CRAIG.
The Situation at Last Accounts

KANSAS C11r, Mo-, March 10.-Quantrers
hand entered Anbry, Kansas, ontthe 7th, and
killed five men and stole fifteen OF twenty
horses.
4 letter from Santa Fe, dated the sd, with
postscript dated the 24th, from a reliablc
source, makes no mention OF the battle re-
ported to have taken place at Valyerde on-the
21st.
On the 18th, the enemy appeared within
mile and a half Of Fort Craig, showing front
Of fifteen hundred cavalry, NTH reserve Of
five hundred, and six pieces Of artillery. Scy-
erai shote we're exchanged, and the enemy re-
tired in good order The loss was one killed
on each Side. Several small engagements had
occurred during the week, which resulted in
our forces capturing some prisoners and one
Of the encmy's hagE, which was United
States flag with letters altered. An express
arrived on the evening Of the 23d, X hours
from Fort Craig, but brought nothing official.
A letter from Governor Connal1y stated that
fighting was going On, aud when the express
left, our forces had captured over one hundred
Of the enemy's mules and their principal wag-
on master. 4 number of Texans had also
been killed. The enemy were hard pressed
for water, and were moving towards Valverdc,
at which point two thousand Of our men were
stationed There is no reliance to be placed
on the report via Denver City and Julesbnrg.

THE TAX ON FLOUR.

The bill now before Congress levies tax
often cents on every barrel Of -four manu-
factured in this country As the law will
stand, if the bill is passed as it is, the tar
viii discriminate against our own millers
n favor Of those OF Canada, In
tlc1 the Reciprocity treaty, American
wheat is taken to Canads free Of duty, man
rtactured there, and then much Of it is sent
hack to this country Whether it is posi-
lie to guard against this discrimination
against OUT OWL millers By placing duty
on the -four 50 returned, We are not quite
sure, but we thinki it is not, and if so, it will
be incumbent On Congress to provide some
other remedy. Plainly it Will not do
to tax our Own nillers in the several States
out Of existence for the benefit Of our Cana
dian ncighbors. We have not examined
the matter sufficiently to suggest whatrem-
cdy can be applied; but the subject should
receive the careful attention Of Congress,
lest great injustice be done to one Of the
leading interests Of the West.

Our dispatches announce an eyent that will
everywhere be received with satisfaction
among loyal men, the abandonment Of the
rebel blockade Of the lower Potomac. Our
diagram will be key to locations and points

masked themselves, and disclosed these bat
