the sanction of tie Navy Department, On Fri
day last, went on board the receiving ship North
Carolina, at the Brooklyn navy yard, and Sc
leetei from a whole batch of volunteers,
eighteen men, who are bound on a hazardous
exploit, the nature Of which it would be contra

forearmed, and we would advise our authorities
at Fort Drewry, Wilmington, Savannah, Mobile,
Vicksburg, as well as those in Charleston, to be
on the alert. These eighteen men may be in
tended for some dashing exploit, which a little
w~stchfulness on our part might check.

FROM WASHINGTON And " UNITY.
Hon. Alfred Ely having received about if-
ty letters from millers, residing in New York,
appeared before the Committee Of Ways and
Means recently in opposition to the proposed
tax of ten cents on every barrel Of -four
The result was that this tax was stricken
from the bill
letter received from Manassas state that
nothing Of much value TO our army was found
at that place, The wagons--about 80 in
number-were old and worn-out, and had
evidently been impressed into the service.--
The contrabands from she surrounding coun-
try came in and helped themselves to what
ever lothing they could fnd, and also to such
hour, bread, meat and cooking utensils as the
enemy had left behind them
large number Of the robels, in leaving
Bull Run, took the Warrinton turnpike, lead
ing towards Richmond. The rebel rear
guard, in passing through Gainesville, six
miles from Bull Run, fred and destroyed the
village. Moores extensive Touring mill. at
the fall Of Ban Run Mountain, aud six miles
from the stone bridge, was also burned. The
railway stations and bridges for distance of
about 5 miles, were also destroyed.
II is supposed from what could be gather
ed, making fair average for the number the
huts could contain, that the rebel troops at
Manassas did not at any time exceed 10000
men, and that not more than 80 900 have oc-
cupied that section within the last two months
Two men attached to Wisconsin regiment
In Gen Smiths division, were poisoned We'd
nesday by drinking water from well which
had been poisoned by rebels 1t is thought
that they cannot survive. All soldiers have
been prohibited from drinking from old wells,
and new ones are to be dug immediately
The telegraph works admirably, and Wash
iugton converses as readily with Fortress
Monroe as it does with the camps on the
Potomac
Earl Russell, in letter to Lord Lyons, in
Inmates an opinion that the occasional evasion
Of the Southern blockade does not destroy its
efficient character
The bill introduced in the Senate Friday,
by Mr.. Hale, provides for the construction Of
an iron-clad steam vessel Of not less than 8, =
600 or 5000 tons burthen, of great speed and
strength, to be used only as a ram, for which
81 900 600 are to be appropriated. Also,
Sl3, 1000, 600 for iron-cad gunboats, St,7s3,-
000 for completing Stevens battery, and
$500, GOO for extending the facilities Of the
Washington navy yard so to forge and roll
plates for the armored ships.
Assistant Secretary of War Scott returned
from the West Friday night.

FROM NEW MExLCO.


Advices from Albuquerque, New Mexico,
Feb. 23, state that the Texans made various
significant movements in the vicinity Of Fort
Craig on the 18th. They advanced column
of infantry, 1000 strong, in line Of battle in
front Of the fort
They also moved a command Of 500 cav
airy west of our delenses. They advanced
to within mile and half of the works,
halted with the rebel flag floating 10 the breeze
some time and then commenced retrogade
movement
During the time of the advance Col. Candy
prudently concealed the greater part of his
forces in the rear of the fort. When the en-
emy commenced retreating, and the infantry
was separated from the cavalry. Col. Candy
ordered Major Duncan to charge on the enc
my's cavalry with a squadron of Dragons and
mounted men, which they did in gallant style,
and the enemy retreating before them until
they arrived at deep ravine.
The Texan Infantry in the meantime ad-
vanced to the relief of the cavalry and a skir-
mish took place at the Ravine, Major Dun
can late in the evening was recalled and the
Texans continued to fall back.
LATER-A military express has arrived from
Fort Craig with news of serious conflicts
between our forces and the Texans, which
lasted from o'clock on the morning of the
2lst until sun down of the same day. The
fight commenced between a portion Of our
troops, under Col. Roberts, and the enemy
across the Rio Grande, with varied success,
until | or o'clock Of that day (the 2lst).
The enemy were supposed to have eight field
pieces. The battle was commenced by our
artillery and skirmishers, and soon it became
general. Towards evening the guns of the
enemy were silenced. They made, however,
a desperate charge on our howitzer battery,
but were repnlsed with great loss The Tex
ans now charged desperately aud furiously,
with picked men, about 600 strong, on Me-
Rays battery. They were armed with Carbines,
revolvers, and long pound bowie knives.
After discharging their earbines at close
quarters, they drew their reyolyers and reach
ed the battery amid storm of grape and can
mister. The New Mexicans of Col. Finass
regiment became panic-stricken and inglori-
ously fled. Capt. Plympton with the United
states infantry, stood his ground, and fought
nobly until more than one-half were number
ed with the dead. With his artillery cut
down, aud with his support repelled kill
ed, wounded, or flying from the feld.--
Capt. Mcllay sat down calmly and quietly on
one of his guns, and with revolver in hand.
refusing to fly or desert his post, he fought to
the last and goriously died like hero--the
last man at his guns.
The Texans suffered terribly in this des-
perate charge. Many of our officers greatly
distinguished themselves on this day. Kit
Carson was in command Of a regiment Of vol
unteers, who did good service during the ac-
ton, and behaved well. Our loss is about
200 killed and wounded. The loss Of the
enemy is believed to be much greater. The
greatest confidence is reported in Col Carey.
and il the volunteers will do their duty the
Texans will be iguominously driven from tho
country.

FROM CAIRO AND VIOINITY.

Col John A. Logan arrived here Friday
from Fort Donelson. Steamer S. w. Graham
returned this afternoon from Nashville. A
large number Of st. Louis merchants, who
went up with her with goods for sale, have
returned, having sold their goods at sacrifice.
Bank bills of loyal States aud specie are
scarce in Nashville. Every shop keeper is
getting treasury notes daily, which are eager
ly sought for Southern bank bills, es-
pecially of Tennessee, are abundant, but the
people Of Nashville are becoming convinced
of their worthlessness. Anxious inquiries
were made by the ST. Louis merchants for
cotton, turpentine, aud resin, and although
specie was offered, nothing of the kind could
be had except 200 bales of cotton shipped By
resident of Nashville on his own account.
A special dispatch to the Democrat from
Cairo 18th, says a gentleman who left Mem
phis Saturday. and arrived here on Tuesday
reports there is trouble at Memphis. Many
persons we're leaving the city. Cotton, mo-
lasses, sugar and other articles of merchan-
disc are being shipped down the river. The
policy of leaving the city was still discussed.
Speeches we're made every night, and all
means used to check the increasing demorali-
cation and to excite a war spirit
Gen. Bragg had come up from Pensacola
with 10000 men. These were sent to rem
force New Madrid and Island No. 10. Gen
erals Bragg and Beauregard were at Jackson,
Tenn, constructing fortieatons, and all the
negroes in the country are called out to work
on them.
Martial law bad been proclaimed in Mem
phis last Monday, for the purpose Of check
ing insubordination, aud to compel the citi-
zens to turn out and fight No defensive
preparations are being made between there
New Orleans.
Forts Randolph and PILLOW are strong po-
sitions, but less formidable than Columbus.
The rebels confess that the reduction of these
two places will give us all the points on the
Mississippi. Their gunboats are all at Island
No. 10, and carry n and 32 Founders. The
fleet is under command Of Capt Hollins.

FROM THE SOUTH.

In the rebel House of Representatives,
a resolution was passed Monday advising the
planters to withdraw from the cultivation Of
cotton and tobacco, and devote their energies
to raising provisions, cattle, horses and sheep.
The Richmond Examiner Of Tuesday says
that considerable uneasiness is manifested ly
the public on account OF the reports of tho
rebel forces falling back from Manassas and
the Upper Potomac. Positive assurance is
given that these movements have not been
made on account of the pressure of the ene-
my. but are purely strategy

To Inc EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN -
Two weeks since, an aged man calling him
self Lucas, and protesting to lecture on Sacred
Music and Congregational singing, to the
churches, first, for the good Of the cause, and
second, for his own good, came into my parish,
He came with large bound volume of rec
concentrations from many of the eminent min
listers and editors OF New England, and on ao-
count of his Testimonials was permitted to
lecture. For week following his lecture, he
was openly and constantly intoxicated, dis
turbed public assembly by his disorderly be-
hayior, aud INDUCED in such language as is
fitting only to the lowest libertine How far
he is worthy of the confidence Of the churches,
this statement Of facts will show. have con-
sidered it my duty to apprizc the public OF
the difference between the pro/essed and the
real character OF this vulgar and aged impos-
ter on the good faith of the community.

FROM MLSSnnRL

special dispatch to he Republican says a
messenger arrived at 10 clock Monday night
bringing additional intelligence of the battle
The engagement took place on Little Sugar
Creek, where a skrmish took place on their
mach down. In anticipation Of an attack on
the south side, Gen. Curtis ordered the trains
to be drawn upon the north side, but unex-
pectedly the attack was commenced on their
rear north of our army, by 1900 to 1000
cavalry. Gen. Sigel, with 500 men, protect
ed the train for several hours, alternately re-
treating and stopping to hold the rebels in
check while the trains pushed backwards to
the main bodies of the army. While thus
engaged, Gen. Sige was three times surround
ed, but he cut his way through each time
The principal fighting on Thursday was done
by Gen. Sgel. In this way, on Friday, the
engagement became general, and continued so
throughout the officers behaving with much
gallantry. The most exposed position was
occupied by Col Carey's division, and the
greatest loss was suffered by them. A let
ter from Col. Carey says the losses in the 4th
and 9th Iowa, S5th Illinois, and 25th Mis-
sour, are from $50 to 200 in each regiment
killed and wounded. The rebel officers kill
ed and wounded are Brig. Gen. McCulloch,
killed Brig. Gen. Slack, dangerously wound
ed Col Mcintosh, killed Col. B. II. Rives,
ID regiment volunteers, dangerously wound
ed Col Herbert, Of the 32d Louisiana, kill
ed or dangerously wounded Maj. Gen. Ster-
ling Price, slightly wounded. Thirteen
pieces Of artillery were captured by our men.
Among them is one lest by Gen. Sigel at
Wilson's Greek. Our loss 10 regarded as
800 or 200 killed and wounded. The reb-
el loss is not known, but it is supposed to be
1000 to 5000. A large number of rebel
prisoners were taken, probably 800. 1000
Indians were engaged in the battle. Eigh-
teen of our killed were ped by them
Gen. Price, with about 1000 men, retreated
northward, and then took an easterly direc-
tion, Gen. JEFF. c. Davis after him.
