= War GEN LANDER THINKS OF BAGGAGE
TRAINs.--Gen Lander growls at the ineffi-
cent equipment of troops by the War De-
partment. He thinks every ten men should
bear upon the shoulder coffee pot, frying
pan, and camp kettle; that each man should
be provided with an India rubber sheet, and
then, with two ounces of flour to the day,
and beef cattle driven loose, we should dis
pense VIII tents, live ON our a Gap jacks Il
and beef cattleS end march any whore with
out tents. He maintains that it takes more
regiments to guard heavy baggage train
than it does to fight the enemy, and that
the army is overloaded with transportation.

FoRT Monroe, March 1O-With the as
sistance Of the steamer Spaulding the Min
nesota has been got off. and she is now on
her way here. She had received numerous
shots but no serious damage. The Congress
is supposed to have lost over one hundred
men, including but one officer. The escaped
crews of the Cumberland and CONGRESS-
have arrived here The Monitor has come
up to the expectations, that was formed of
her and has proved herself impregnable to
heavy shot at close quarters She behaved
remarkably well on her passage from
New York, aud although the sea covered
her decks completely at times, her speed did
not seem TO be at all diminished To her
presence here may be attributed the safety
OF the Minnesota and other vessels in the
port and the final disabling of the Merri-
mac, which had previously been proof
against everything. Capt. Warden of the
Monitor was wounded in the head while he
was looking out of the wheel house. No
other accident occurred to the battery or
crew We have no accurate list of the
killed and wounded.

Rar The Legislature of Kentnckv ba

Ba- The Legislature of Kentucky has
passed what is called the Expatriation
bill, and it will become law, as the ma
jority in its favor is too large to allow its
defeat by the veto of tie Governor, should
he exercise that power. to thwart the pur-
poses of the bill. This bill allows thirty
days to those who are in rebellion to come
back, and deprives them of the right of cit
izenship if they fail to do SO in that length
OF time The measure was freely discussed
in the House, before taking the vote upon
it. The deprivation of citizenship only
covers the time of the absence of the marty.
1t makes the result dependent ON the action
of the Vrong-doer. He can avoid its results
by laying down his arms and returning to
his allegiance. The secessionists in the
House, of course, opposed the measure with
great vehemenee.-T II. Express.

WASHINGTON, March 10th.-Lieut. Wise.
commanding the Potomac hotilla, in his
official report to the Navy Department,
confirms the rumor of the abandonment of
the rebel batteries at Cock Pit Point Ship
ping Point and other points along the
Potomac, and also the burning of he
steamer Page and other rebel batteries
Lieut.. Wise arrived this afternoon, bringing
dispatches from Fortress Menroe.-But few
particulars have yet TRANSFERRED, as his inter-
view is not yet closed. The following
items are reliable: Capt Radford was en-,
gagged in Court Martial and not on board of
the Cumberland. Lieut. J. B. Smith, son
of Commodore Smith, was on board the
Congress, and is killed. The loss in killed,
wounded and missing, is supposed to be
one hundred. Lieut.. Warden, who handled
the Monitor SO skiIlfully, IS here in the
hands of a surgeon. He received his in-
juries from the minute fragments of a shell
and the powder which were driven through
the lookout holes. Lieut. Warden was
stunned by the concursion, and was carried
away. On recovering he asked, g have
saved the Minnesota 2" The reply was

The crew of the Congress are scattered, and
there are 40 means of ascertaining her loss
at present. The naval authorities and ex-
ports here are confident that the Alerrimae
is disabled, and that the Monitor is adequate
to her in every respect
There is no longer any doubt that the
rebels have evacuated CenteryilIe, Winches-

a general falling back of their ferces
