Dispatches to the Navy
Department.
ADMIRAL PORTER'S MOVEMENTS,
A NEW CUT-OFF.
CAPTURE or NEGRO HUNTERS

The Navy Department has receiveda a dispatch
from Admiral Porter, of the Mississippi squad
ron, dated Yazoo river, April 16, 1868, accom-
panied with a report from Lieut.. Commanding
Thos. v. selfrldgo, of Arkansas river, April
IA, 1868, stating that he passed with a steamer
through cutoff recently made above Alex
ander's on Sunday. 1t ShortGns the distance
between the two rivers at least ten miles, and
thereby affords every facility for which II was
intended.
Upon learning that there were United States
arms at McGhee's place, Carson's Landing, tue
Inlet was sent up, which captured two mon,
Alexander Smith and j. n. Crow. These men
have been employed hunting runaway negroes,
and acknowledge to have shot some who at
tempted to escape; they are notorious rascals,
and Smith was concerned in the burning Of the
Lake Civ. There was also found there United
States ielgi q rife, sword Dayonets, with com.
pleto u.pments marked "U. s." and hunt
ing rife. Smiths story is that he purchased
thUm from two Of our deserters; the negroes
say he robbed them of them. They have been
placed in irons.
In a reconnaissance made into the Arkansas
river, a prisoner, BY the name of Cornelius
Jones, private in the Twenty-irst Texas, was
captured. He was employed as a mail or dis.
patch carrier. He had ou at the time Federal
uniform, and attempted to psss himself off as
a citizen. He says all the pickotS on the river
have been drawn In, His regiment had gone
to Batesville, Arkansas.
The mouths of Arkansas and White rivers
are now brought close together, and a small
force can defend 1t. One Of the worst points
for guerrlllas Ia also cut off.

THE MExIoANs HOLD OUT BRAvELY.

New YORK, April 27.-The Tribune has Off
cial news from Mexico to April 1st. The re
ported loss of sixty pieces of artillery and eight
thousand men by the French is untrue.
The news recently received ria San Francisco,
in the main, is correct The French suffered
several repulses a Puebla, but finally compelled
the Mexicans to abandon Fort San JanivCri
not, however, until they had removed their
artillery and ammunition. The fort is a heap
of ruins, and new one has been built in its
rear.
To April 7th, no news favorable to the French
had reached Vera Cruz. The inference iB that
the Mexicans are holding out bravely.
