THE VERMONT BRIGADE.--lt will be
seen from letter that we publish to-day
that the Vermont Brigade Is now near
Fortress Monroe. Although the present
censorship Of The press wiihholds full in
formation Of the movements in that ,ieini.

a movement upon large scale is being
made there, most likely for the possession
Of Richmond, though possibly for that q

The Vermont Brigade, as is well known.

An incident that occurred to the rebel forces
stationed in the shore batteries at Island No.
10, illustrates how easily, foriuitously, or per-
haps We ought in this case 70 say providential-
y, an army may be caught in a position from
which it is impossible to escape. About five
thousand meu were stationed in and about the
shore batteries.
On Sunday night, as soon as they saw the
Pittsburg run the blockade in safety, and know
ing that the transports to convey Cen Pope's
forces across the Mississippi had been got
through the slough, and that very soon a strong
force would be III their rear, they abandoned
their camp nd all it's contents on Monday after
noon, and left for Tiptonve, only five miles
distant by land, but by the river, fifteen miles
below New Madrid, hoping thence to escape by
their transports. But on reaching the little
town, what was their surprise to find the gun
boats Carondelet and Pirtsburg moored to the
shore. On the left was swamp through
which runs the outlet of Reelfoot lake; in front
were the gunboats; on the right was the Mis-
s!ssippi, and they found, when too late, Gen.
Paine, with a strong force posted in their rear.
The rebels were caught in trap from which
there was no possible escape.
A blOodless victory, with two thousands pris-
oners, WAS the immediate result. Great num-
bers fed to the swamps, but were soon glad to
surrender, raising the whole number of prisoners
taken here, at the Island and other places to
near five thousand men. Thus, what the rebels
acknowledged to be the key of the Mississippi,
position strong by nature, and fortified with
consummate skill and great expense, and de-
Tended by FIVE thousand men and a hundred
ard twenty-five cannon in battery, most of
them very heavy and numbers of the m rifed,
was taken, and the whole army captured by
Commodore Foote and Gen. Pope, without the
loss of single man. History will record it as,
taken all in all, the most wonderful and brill
liant achievement of the war

ST.. Louis, April 49,
The correspondent of the Missouri Rspubti



The correspondent of the Missouri Rspubii
can writes:
APACHE GLEN New MKxIco, BETWEEN
Santa Fs and Fort Union. March 80.
Since i wrote you, Col. Slough's column
1900 strong have advanced to Hogan's Ranch
twenty-five miles north of Santa Fe, where
they encountered the enemy, whose strength
is not known, and Immediately engaged them.
Major Crittenden of the LIST Colorado Velun-
teers, and two companies of United States in
fanty, under Capt. Lewis, were sent across
the river to fall upon their rear. Col. Slough,
according to programme, gave way gradually,
which left the supply train of the rebels unsup-
ported which aor Crittendsn and Capt.
Lewis Immediately captured together with
about fifty loaded wagons, which were burned,
and twenty prisoners, end one two pound how
itzer, taken from us at Fort Craig, which was
spiked by our troops. Col, Siough's com
mand then fell back to a strong position.
Our trophies were one hundred prisoners,
privates and officers; fifty loaded wagons burn
ed; one piece OF artillery of the enemy spiked;
from 100 to 200 killed and wounded, one Ma
jor two Captains &c.
Our loss is about Is or 90 killed, including
Lieut.. Baker, of the Colorado volunteers, and
80 or 40 wounded,
1t is supposed the rebel Gen. Sibey will ad
vance upon Col. Slough's collmn, with his
entire force from 1000 to 5000 strong,) and
that Col. Slough will fall back upon the
trenches at Depot Union
At the last account Col, C1nby had not left
Fort Craig. With Col. sloughs command it
is believed he can hold Fort Union against any
force the rebels can bring against it.
The whole command on our side behaved
with signal gallantry and coolneess, both yolun
teers and regulars.
D,C o. Gyn
oners with j officers, have just past under es-
cort, and will arrive at Fort Union to night or
early in the morning Col. Slough's entire
command has fallen back to Banca Springs a.
miles from Fort Union, and within supporting
distance.
