up steam on the rebel steamer Planter, of
which he was the pilot, took on board his

light, steamed out Of the harbor, and sur
rendered the vessel to the blockading
feet off the bar. If Order No. 3
had been in force In General Hunters
Department he would have been excluded
from our lines and forced back into the
hands Of the South Carolina rebels. No

determined resistance to the advance Of the
Unien troops.
Richmond papers Of the 10th have been re-
ccige1- They contain q correspondence be-
tween the Virginia Legislature and jeff Davis
in relation to the recent movements of the
rebel army. He stated thst he had never en-.
tertained the thought Of withdrawing the army
from Virginia and abasuoping the State,
That if in the course Of events the capitol
should tall, tiie necessity Of which he did not
zee or anticipate, that would be no reason
for Withdrawing the army from the State,
The war could be successfully carried On and
maintained on Virginia soil Tor twenty years.
T1g rebel General John 3. Floyd has been
appointed a Major General offhe Virginla
furces, with authority to raise force OF 20 :.
600 1nen-new conscripts for the the defense
Of Western Virginia.

From Farnswoat1,,s Regiment.

From FArnBW0a1h'8 Regiment
Aletter has been received from an officer in
Col. Farnsworth's sth Illinois cavalry, dated
New Kent Court House, May 18th. He says
that the regiment is having plenty Of hard
work, that for three days and nights his horse
had not been unsaddled, nor himself disarm-
ed. Gen. Stoneman had command Of the ad-
vance guard, consisting Of three regiments Of
caGa1ry-Faznsworth's, a regiment ofrcgu1ars,
New York regiment, three regiments Of infan
try, two batteries Of flying artillery, aud some
companies OF Berdan's death-dealiug marks
men. The pursuit from Williamsburg to New
Kent had been vigorously kept up. Several
hundred rebels had been killed and 500 taken
prisoners-most Of them by Farnsworsh's big
Abolition regiment, which was in the advance.

opinion Of the writcrthat there would be hard

It is almost certain that the famous Gen.
Sterling Price Of Missouri is dead If the as
sertions Of protesscd witnesses Of his death
are reliable, this remarkable man was killed
in The late battle Of Pennington. He will be
greatly missed By the rebel leaders. He was
their smartest-we will not say ablest man.
As brave as McCullouh, he was vastly his su-
perior in every requisite for dangerous plot
ter Of political infquity. In Missouri he had
BEEN held in high esteem. and had been hugely
conf5ded in, by his fellow partisans Of the
pro-s1ayery Democratic school. As IN intrie-
guer in State politics he had few equals; aud
as stump-orator he could arouse the ardor
OF the masses, as well as nay man in his party,
When the rebellion broke out, he was about
the only man in Missouri ready to risk Life in
the cause. He was perhaps the only man who
could have drawn to himself sympathisers in
in >uch numbers as to make rebellion in that
st+tc at all formidable. We cannot speak Of
him as romantic adyenturer; but he was an
adytntnr.r who cont1ived to infuse 4
ti1cturc Of romance into his manocuyrcs,
Alone and unaidcd be raised at least
three armics-he fought several severe battles,
and accomplished numberless retreats in q
n,arucr that astonishcd educated military
NTH. at the battle Of Springfield, where the
noble Lyon was killed, he vas second in com
mand, Ben. McCu1loch being first. Price was
the leading spirit Of Arkansas as well as Mis-
souri,; now that he is dead, hundreds who
followed him into the field, simply because
he led them, will throw down their
arms or desert. Having made a juno
ton since the battle Of Shiloh, with
Bcauregard, he was in the engagement at Far
nington, and, as the reports say, was shot
dead by Col. Roberts sharpshooters. His
death will bc a heavy loss to the rebels.
The Southwest is now rid Of the three most
Influential and desperate conspirators against
the Union, McCulloch, Mcintosh, Price;
there can I've found no men to take the place
Of those three upon the roll Of the rebel army,
or who will engage to an equal degree, the
inaglnations and energies Of the rebel rank
and file

=" Yesterday morning We ran up to Wetches'
Bluff, where We found the riyer full Of sunken
steamers, tile jamestown, Yorktown, aud 8
number Of others. The bank was lined with
rifle pits, and on the top Of the bluff the rebels
mad very heavy battery mounting ten guns,
some Of them 10-lnch and three OF four very
heavy rifed. We ran within half mile Of the
battery, anchored and swung broadside to
them. They opened fire, the first shot
striking our port bow and going through
the armor. About five minutes after We
got another shot very near where
the first one struck. As it came
through it killed one man Instantly and wound
ed four more. We fought them four hours
until we got ont Of ammunition, when we had
to retire. We got % shots in our side and II
on deck. We had twelve men killed, two
dangerously wounded, who have since died
and Is slightly wounded. We made gallant
fight, but had We taken the battery we coulG
not have held it, and the distractions in the
