Mr.. d. says that Mr.. Allyn has not re-

He also states that the salary Of the
Deputy Recorder here is fixed BY law Mt
$500, payable in county orders. ask
Mr.. ID. whether that officer has been paid
as the law directs? or whether he pock-

A letter TO the Chicago Tribune from
Island No. 10, describes daring and bril-
liant exploit at Island No. 10, performed
IN the midst Of terrific storm on the
night Of April 1st. At midnight the
storm burst with fearful effect, and ragged
for four hours. The writer says:
II v,s during the height Of the storm
that Col. Roberts performed his daring
mission. Yesterday morning, the Flag
Ol6cer, Capt. Phelps, Col. Buford, Seo-
rotary Scott and other officers, held oon-
fe.sace upon the Gag ships, at which il
was decided 10 make night rcconnois-
sance Of the upper battery, the "details Of
which were left to Col. Buford. He Sc
Iccted Col. Roberts and forty picked men
Of his regiment to be the chosen few.--
Each gunboat furnished : yawl, manned
by six Of their hardest seamen. Al two
o'clock, in tho very thickest Of the storm,
the little party embarked. The Flag Of
ficer and his subordinates, with Col. Bu
ford, stood upon the deck Of the Benton,
giving the final orders. The yawh set
out upon their perilous journey, and they
retired anxiously awaiting the resut.

The officers of the 9th Regiment, Va.
Vol. Infantry, in consideration of the
indefatigable exertions of Major JOHN
H. OLEY of said Regiment, in bringing
order out Of confusion in organizing the
Regiment, and bringing it to its present
state Of efficiency, made him a partial
compensation for his laborious exer-
tious, by presenting him with mag
nifcent horse and equipments.
Adiutant PoLsLEY, on behalf of the
officers, presented the horse with few
brief and appropriate remarks, to which
the Major replied with very affecting
speech, remarking that he hoped he
would have the opportunity to win their
confidence upon the battlefield as the
present offering proved he had gained
it in the camp.

mac in her conflict with the Monitor. we
have what is claimed to be positive in
formation. One Of the recently arrived
conaabands states that he was nurse
| in the general hospital at Norfolk, and
that up to the time Of bis departure b
had helped to shroud tbirty-two OF the
crew of the Merrimac, and that both
Commander Buchanan and Lieut.! MI
ner are dead, There were still num-
Der of the wounded surviving. I
The contraband also states thai the
last two shots Of the Monitor were rep
resented to be the only ones that seri-
ously injured the Merrimac. The shots
were thrown under her shield at the
moment she attempted to run the Mon
itor down. sFfss-sEE
The military stationed at Norfolk
from the Gulf States have been very
severe on the Virginia chivalry since
their defeat at Roanoke Island. Even
the Richmond Blues, the very pink Of
chivalry, have fallen in public estims-
ton. All award bravery to Jennings
Wise, but his father has SO fallen in
public estimation that he is proclaimed
at Norfolk a coward and poltroon. In
his escape from Nag's Head. he rode
thirty miles on horseback, notwithstand-
ing be had previously reported himself
too i'll to remain at Roanoke Island and
lead his command. Wise and Floyd
now rank as the feet-footed. o
My informant says that Wise would
be hooted if he were to appear in the
streets of Norfolk or Richmond. He
has retired to his farm in Princess Anne
county.
There was rumor in Richmond yes
terday that a severe fight had taken
place on the Peninsula. 1t was proba-
bly, caused by the fact Of our making a
strong reconnaissance toward York
town on Saturday. .
New Orleans papers OF the 9th
March, report the loss OF the rebel
steamer Vanderbilt. The captain, crew
and eight passengers are safe on the
Florida coast. One boat, with z men
on board, had not been heard from.
The rebel Ordnance Bureau has is
sued an order calling for all the bells
that can be obtained, to be recast for
light artillery. ~
Rebel troops are gathering in large
numbers at Jacksonport and Pocahon-
tas, Ark, Generals Van Dorm and JEFF.
Thompson are preparing for an early
movement at some point on the Missis-
sippi river. With this force, it is con-
sidered that the Mississippi Valley is
safe from the enemy. t
The Memphis Avalanche, Of March
99th, says: ...-...
The enemy, in attempting to take
Island No. 10. had been throwing shot
and shell for 240 hours, without doing
any damage to our works or guns, and
up to this time only one Confederate
soldier has been killed.
A small tug came down the James
river yesterday evening, and at long
range. threw some shells into the New
port News camp. No damage was done
as the distance was so great that it was
useless for our guns to make any reply.
There is rumor current here that
Yorktown has been abandoned by the
enemy, but it il, not believed by the
highest military authorities.
Notwithstanding the great delay in
tl,e roePpcaTauCe or Ine Merrimac sne
is daily expected, and naval and militia
ry commanders are prepared to receive
her at any moment.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Edward FL
lis, of the Boone County Standard, was

couraging resistance to the laws and

ond charge-Violation of the laws Of
war by the publication within the lines
of the troops of the United States in a
public newspaper of articles and infor-
nation intended and designed to COM
fort the enemy and invite persons to
rebellion against the Government of the
United States. One of the criminal
publications was styled letters from the
army another, news from Gen. Price.
The commission found the prisoner gull
ty Of the charges and specifications, and
sentenced him to be placed and kept
outside of the lines of the State Of
Missouri during the war, and that the
press, types, furniture and material Of
the printing Office of the Boone County
Standard be confscated, and sold for
the use of the United States.
Gen. Halleck approved the finding
and sentence, and directed the printing
Office to remain in charge of the Quar-
termaster until further orders that the
prisoner be placed outside of the State
of Missouri, and that if he returns du-
ring the war, without permission, that
he be arrested and placed in close con-
fnement in the Alton military prison.
The proceedings being returned to
the War Department. they were ap-
proved by the Secretary, and an order
issued that the form procedure should
be adopted in like cases by the COM
manding officer of al tie military de-
partments. ..- r-
