WASHINGTON, March 29.-An official dis
patch from Commodore Foote, received at
midnight yesterday, at Cairo, and telegraphed
hither to-day, says that Island No. 10 is harder
to conquer than Columbus, as the island shores
are lined with forts, each fort commanding the
one above it. lie was steadily approaching it,
but still did not hope for much until the oc,
currence of certain events which promise sue
cess. lie adds 1--WE are firing day and night
on the rebels, and we gain on them. We are
having some most beautiful rifle practice ever
witnessed. The mortar shells have done fine
execution. One shell was fairly landed on
their floating battery, clearing the concern in
short metre.

ST. LOUIS, March 20 "A correspondent of
the Republican, writing from the camp near
Bent's Old Fort New Mexico, March 9th,
says it is supposed that the rebels, after their
victory at Fort Craig, will march directly on
Santa Fe and Fort Union. All the valuable
property IN the department is being concen-
traled at the latter place, and all the available
force is being rapidly forwarded there to de-
fend it,
The property amounts, it is said, to several
million dollars.
Colonel Slough's first regiment Of Colorado
volunteers LETT this camp yesterday, and will
reach fort Uniou by the 18th OF March, in ad-
vance of the rebels. Fort Union is strong
fort and a thousand men can hold it against
the combined strength of the rebels. Colonel
Candy is sull supposed 10 be at fort Craig,
with 1900 regulars and body of Mexican
volunteers, wh0 however, are not relied ON.
The Sante Fee Gazette says that Capt. Nc.
Raes battery was captured in the battle near
fort Craig in consequence of its support, con
sistng OF two companies Of regulars and two
companies Of volunteers running away when
the Texans charged on it, resisting the efforts
OF Col. Candy himself TO rally them; also that
Capt. Lords dragons refused to obey the
command to charge the enemy. The charge
OF Texans on the battery is described as being
very brilliant and terrible. They were armed
principally with Colts six shooters, and al
though scores were killed by McRae's grape
and canister they marched steadily OIL killing
every gunner but one or two.
