ST. LOUIS. March 25.--General Pope, in his
dispatch 10 Major General Ualleck, says:
Our successes al New Madrid are even greater
than reported. twenty-five pieces Of heavy
artillery, twcnty.four pounders, and rifad /;
thirty.two batteries OF field artillery, an i'm
mense quantity Of fixed ammunition, several
thousand small arms, hundreds Of boxes Of mus
kct cartridges, three hundred mules and horses,

an immense quantity Of other property, Of no,
less value than 81 900, 900, have fallen into our
hands.
The men only escaped by the cncmy's whsle
force being dcmoralizsd and dispersed In
swamps on The opposite aide OF the river. The
enemy abandoned their works 80 hurriedly as
to leave all their baggage, officers knspsacks
men, their dead unburied, their suppers on The
tables, and candles bnr ming in the tents. A
furious thunder storm, which ragged all night
enabled them 10 get across the river without
being discovered.
Onr heavy battery was established duriuG
the night OF the 18th within eight hundred yards
Of the enemy's works, and opened at day light
on the 18th, just thirty four hours after The
guns were delivered to the United States al
Cairo. During the whole Of yesterday our lines
were drawn closer around their works. under a
furious fire from sixty pieces Of artillery. Fear
oil an assault on their works at daylight induced
them TO flee precipia'ely during The night.
Many prisoners have been taken, and the colors
of several Ark,nsas regiments have been cap
tured
Our loss Is about fifty killed aud wounded
Holllns was In command Of the fleet, and Gens
McConn, Stswa, and Gnott Of the land forces
The gunboats went down the river. Pope has

In the defence Of the national capital. recoG

the local population is a circumstance OF th'
