Attack on the Gunboats at Galveston
New York, Jan. IL.
The steamer Creole arrived here to-
night from New Orleans on the 3D.
She brings dispatches to Gen. Halleck.
She passed several gunboats bound up
the river, also passed the transport Merli-

the gunboat Kensington. The purser

the LIST, the rebels made an attack by
land and water on the Federal forces at
Galveston. Our gunboats were attacked
by FIVE rebel steamers, protected by
double rows Of bales of cotton, and load

kets, &c. The Harriet Lane was cap
tured by boarding, after about all her
officers, including Captain Wainwright
and Lieutenant Lee, and the crew, 1870,
all told, had been killed by musketry
from the rebel steamers, My informant
states that but one or two of the officers,
and but twelve or fifteen Of the crew, es-

The Weslfeld, the flag ship Of Com

ADemocratio Voice.

Hon. Joe. Wright, U. S. Senator iron
Indiana, 4 lifo-long Democrat, thus Civ
vent to his feelings in his place in the Sen
ate Chamber, fow days since. Although
wecsnnot agree with him in the sssump'
aioa Of power upon the part Of the presi
dent on arbitrary arrests, there is SO much
Of truth in it, that we give it for the bene'
fit Of our readers:
On motion Of Mr.. Wright Of Indiany
the bill concerning the discharge of State
prisoners was taken up. Mr.. Wright ad-
dressed the Senate al length. He said
he should not vote for the amendment OF
the Senator from Kentucky, Davis to
strike out the section authorizing the
President to suspend the hoJeas corpus.
It w.s at the time necessary TO make ar
rest. He quoted from the letter of JEFF.
ferson, also from the speeches of Doug
las in support Of his assertion. The Sen.
stor from Kentucky Powell. J and others
loudly declared they were loyal to the
Constitution. 1t was only few months
ago that few Democrats issued call
for a party organization, and from this
has arisen many Of the troubles which
now perplex the community. In times
liks these, every good and true man
should ask how he could best serve
the country and not stop to inquire what
some Abolitionists have done. The
Senator from Kentucky (Powell had re-
joiced over the recent election, but these
elections had been brought about by
means not calculated to produce much
joy. 1t was by discouraging enlistn,ents,
by making charges against the Govern
lasnt, by opposing taxation for the ex.
psnscs Of the war. by impressing the
great West with the importance of the
Valley Of the Mississippi, and these men
vsuuted long and loud their loyalty to
the Government, but none Of them like
the senator from Kentucky, had said he
WAS opposed to coercion. He argued in
favor of an iron will and nerve, and a
determined policy on the part of the Ex-
ecutive to crush out the rebellion by ev-
cry possible means, and he would take
the property Of the rebels everywhere
He wanted to see the Mississippi river
opened by the brave boys, and the sup.
plies Of the rebeldom cut off. He wan
ted to see hundred thousand slave hol-
ders running one way, and million nc.
groes the other Applause in the gal
leries. He wanted to strike at the heart
us the disease, and then we should see
daylight. There was nothing to despond
sbout. He thanked God we had an ar
my. a navy, a country. He thanked God
for another thing--that we hal Gener-
al in tho field who was not fishing for the
Presidency, but who with his staff was
to be fonnd in the thickest of the fight,
and his name was Rosecrans. Applause

that he could notanswer him question
! forgot to state that the gentleman was
one Of "Africa's Noble Sons" After
getting oyerhis fright he said that he
was going for the Doctor, that his ''Mis-
sus" was sick.
Says he, II tole Massa Burns dat " wus
mighty dangerous travelling after night,
an dat I'd be cotched by de sogers," NC.
So, had to take him to town, n dis
tance Of two miles from our post.
In going into town, says he to me,
II would hate to think that should be
shot by my friends" 4f srt e..
Little did the poor fellow think that
the bullet ofour enemy, was just as dan
gerous as the bullet Of "his friends"
The Slaves in this vicinity, appear to
be very intelligent, but are deprived of
education. How eager they arc to i'm
part news to our pickets. Had the slave
the same chances that we have to obtain
an education, they would make proper
use of it. Slavery is admitted to be
curse by all; but here in Virginia slavery
is not exhibited as being in such an evil
way--for fear the slaves will make use of
the chance that is proffered to them at
present.
Last Sunday we were ordered back to
the Regiment, and then we We're thrown
out on another road TO picket. But be-
fore we left our former place, we estab-
lished n name for our company among
the citizens, that the company may feel
proud of. t. ......
Last night I was on picket. While on
the post, an old slave, Tanner by trade,
( forgot to mention that Mechanism is
AS prevalent among the slaves in Virginia
as among the laboring people of the
North) informed us that spy WAS going
to flank our pickets, and convey intelli-
gence to the Southern Army. He (the
negro) seemed very anxious for us to
capture him. He told his master that he
had lost his mittens at our post, in order
to give us his information So, you can
see that the negro has Our cause at heart.
E. H, Cathright conveyed the news to
the Colonel, and got permission to take
four men; but not take any off OF the post,
and capture the spy. So, you see that
could not go-I was sorry, but it could
not be helped. They dogged his move
ments, yet he escaped them. So, when
an opportunity Offers in such case we
are thwarted by something or other.
Last week some OF us boys were scout
ing after Bush Whackers. We secuted
the woods and mountains, but they had
made their timely exit.
How dong our regiment will remain,
cannot say. We are guarding this place
so our trains can pass through unmoles-
ted
The general health Of our company is
good-but few are sick at this place, and
those that were left at Cumberland, Md,
are going to join us this week.

mainder of the troops are on the way
back. They did not arrive until the
place had been evacuated.
AN the fleet is now on theway to New
Orleans.
The rebel force was estimated at about
five thousand, under Gen. Magruder.
Our land force, under command ol
Colonel Burrill, of Massachusetts, did
probably exceed three hundred-the
residue not having arrived, or not being
disembarked in time to fight.
Our loss was estimated at from one
hundred and fifty to two hundred and
sixty killed, and two hundred taken
prisol ers-The navy suffering most.
1t was thought the rebel loss was much
more, as our guns were firing grape and
canister continually in their midst. The
rebels had several batteries on shore
The Federal troops were on one of the
long wharves, and, it is said repulsed two
charges Of the rebels before they surren-
dered.
Advice from New Orleans state that
Jacob Barker's paper, the National Advo-
cate, published an extract on the I'd, con-
tanning rebel reports of victories at Mem
phls and Vicksburg. and jeff. Davis
speech at Jackson. This caused fermen',
and the rebels were hilarious and saucy,
On the morning Of the Sd General Banks
sent guard to Barker's Office, and the
Advocate was, for the third time sup
pressed.
This step gave great satisfaction to
Union men. Captain Clark, Post Com
missary at New Orleans, had rendered
his resignation and would probably go
North in the course of month.
