on the Neuse River, about forty miles from
Newbern. The battle lasted all day, the
enemy leaving their position in haste at tie
close.
Matters in Gen. Rosencrans' department
are active in the line of skirmishes between
uncomfortable forces oftroops Our special
dispatch sets forth reasons of weight why
Gen. Rosencrans will not lnaugurate emme-
diately any movement on large scale.
Guerillas and cotton burners are ac-
tie all along the Lower Mississippi. Moth
ing new is reported from Gen. Grant. What
we must believe to be exaggerated state
ments are given as TO the rebel strength
and preparations at Vicksburg, but as our
expeditions are going that way soon, it will
be speedily investigated.
While Gen. Hoyey's late expedition was
in Mississippi, some stragglers who follow
ed him, went to Mss Hills plat sation on the
Coldwater, twenty miles from Friars point.

state to you the following facts:
Fsrst.-In consequence of the neglect
Of the part of the officers of some Of the
regiments to make out the reports required
by law, the families belonging to these
reporting regi ents are deliunqent ia
their reports-some Of them never haY-
ing even furnished the list of those enti-
tied to extra pay-the money, which in
other circumstances would have been paid
to these families, remains in the Treasury
undrawn.
Sec md We arc informed by the Quss-
termaster General that arrangements hags
been made by which claims against the war
fund, amounting in the aggregate 10 over
eighty thousand dollars have been paid di-
rect by the U. S. authorities, As the
State had made provisions for the payment
of these claims it leaves large amount
that can be put to The credit Of Volunteer

Third Gov Solomon has procured
from Washington on account of advances
made by the State, some forty thousand
dollars more than had been calculated upon
thereby placing this amount in the Treasu.
ry to be used in the payment of the claims
Of the families he volunteers.

nzs- 4 convention Of southern manufac

"A convention Of southern manufac-
lures was held on the 10Th lt.satAugnsta,
Georgia, at which, in view Of the fact that
everything connected witt cotton manufac-
ture had advanced over one thousand, and
in some cases to the fabulous ar cunt of ten
thousand per cent, it was resolved that the
convention consider, from actual estimates
prescribed, the present cost of cotton goods
10 be equal to fifty cents per pound, and
deem it unsafe to bargain with government
at any fixed price, to extend beyond one
month, without the establishment of sli-
ding scale. BY which the price may be varied
from month to month as the cost Of pro-
duction may advance.

Ter id liar, to which Chandler replied
with the ID weight which passed within
au inch of Knowton's head and bit the
counter Then Chandler took up another
weight, held it in his hand and clinched
with Knowlton, striking him on tho head
with the two-pounde-, drawing the blood.
Knowlton bit Chambers finger and Chand-

cried murder. The company then parted

The Evil splriiof tho Potomac,

That the sacrifice Of Gen. Pope was de-
liberately planned and plotted by the Gen
erals of the Mcclellan school, in the last
disastrous Virginan campaign, appears to
be placed almost beyond doubt by the
testimony in the Porter military trial. now
progressing in Washington. The result OF
the combination to this end appears to
have been, that victory within the grasp
of our arms, was lost, and most disas-
trous and disheartening defeat entailed up
on our flag, involving the loss Of millions
of treasure and the lives Of hundreds, il
not thousands of brave, true men. How
far Mcclellan was party to such COM
bination, does not appear, and probabl.",
never will; but if not personally involved
that his inf fence was the bottom of it,
we regard as unques1ionable. The fact
which comes out IN the course Of the in
yestgation, that several days after the bat
tie Mcclellan felt called upon to write,
General Fitz John Porter his cooperation.
demonstrates that he was satisfied that
such cooperation had not previously been
rendered. In support of the proposition,
that had Pope been efficiently, supported. q
victory instead of defeat would have soi'
lowed, we have the authority Of Gen Hal
leck, the highest under the circumstances
and the failure to give such support mus
rest between Porter and Mcclellan, whose
intimate connection in sympathy, as well
as command, is we'll understood Mss
oura Democrat.

many respects, for Christians in "bigher
