Doings at Key West.

From letters published In the New York
FSeeman's Journal-one of them from Father
HANsox, Catholic clergyman at Key West
We learn that JosEPH s. MoReAN, Colonel COM
msnding at that post and commissioned by
Governor, now Senator MORGAN, of New York;
issued an order last month, directing all white
persons having husbands, brothers or sons in
rebel employment, to hold themselves in readi'
ness 70 embark In order to be placed within the
rebel lines. Among these were said to be
gentlemen Of rank, young and delicate fe
msles, young children, even sucklings, and old
and helpless women"
But It seems Col. MORGAN undertook rather
too big job. He was foiled in his attempt tc
exterminate or banish almost an entire commu'
nifty. While be was devising expedienss fol
the execution Of his order, be was relieved BY
Col. GooDE, of the 47th Pennsylvania, who ar
rived from Hilton Head, annulled MoRoAN's or
der, and released some twenty officers who had
been placed under arrest, because they chose
to resign rather than be made the Instruments
Of carrying ont MoReAN's order of exile and
bsnishment against unofsndipg men, women
and children.

FROM THE RAPPAHANNoOK.
II ebel Desire 10 Hold Communication
with tho FedoKals. a
[Correspondence of the Philadelphia InquIrer.l
E.t.nr,rry Marrh, 4

Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer.l
FALMOUTH, March,.
For several days in the early part of this
week, the rebels on the other side Of the river
seemed particularly desrous of holding COM
munication with our side, and of starting traf-
fic, IL they cuuld-exchanging tobacco for coffee
and sugar, of whoih latter article they appear
to be greatly 10 need.
On Monday they launched quite "Aeet" Of
little vessels, made out Of board planks, two or
three feet long, on which they rugged little
sails, and then sent them on q voyage TO this
side. One was brought into the Lacy House,
on Monday, which had sailed across from the
opposite side. 1t was sloop rugged, with mast,
lib, and mainsail, made of old cotton cloth, ap-
parently having been once part of q man's
shirt. In the sail was fastened q copy of the
Richmond Examiner Of the previous Saturday,
dry and in good order. There was also a letter,
written with pencil, requesting our people to
send over sugar and coffee, and they would
send tobacco in return; or If that would not suit
us, they would send "greenbacks" in lieu of
tobacco; or, 10 other words, they wanted us to
sell them coffee and sugar for Union money
Both the paper and the note were handed over
to the field officer ofthe pickets, to be forward
ed to headquarters.
Scarcely had the curiosity occssioned by this
incident subsided, when another little boat was
seen to start from the opposite bank, and max
ing diagonal trip across the river, it "csme
to" on this side, near the piers of the Com
merce street bridge. The pickets captured the
prize and brought it upon the lawn in front Of
the house. II was schooner-rigged, with sails
made of bed ticking. The little craft capsized
on the way over, and wet the sails, but on ex-
aminDg tile folds closely, copy of the Rich
mond Enquirer was found looped inside, dry
aud in good order. This paper contained Jeff.
DAvis'S proclamation, setting apart fast day,
which wac the only item of Importance. The
same disposition was made Of this psper as the
other. Both boats we're broken up in full sigh
of the rebels, who could not fail to see by thie
that our officers are not very willing to hold
communication with them. Notwithstanding
this, however, they sent over other vessels OF
Tuesday, with small quantities oftobscco, with
renewed requests to "wade" and exchange
newspapers.

A New Orleans letter under date OF Feb
00j, gives an account OF an affair which oc-
surrsd soOn after ths capture Of Sabine Pass
A rebel force held position on Bayou Teche,
not far from Berwick Bay. which is an outpost
Of the Fsderal army, intended as depot for
army and naval supplies in the operations on
TsxaA The rebel position was protected by
an old steamer called the Cotton" carrying
two guns. Their force was commanded BY
Gen. sIsLRY. u was attacked by Gen. WET
zEL's division, said to consist Of seven thousand
white soldiers and three thousand negro troops
Alter q long and desperate struggle, Gen
WEITzEL withdrew, leaving more dead and
wounded, says the writer Of the letter, than 'he
number of his opponents. The attack was
commenced BY the negro soldiers, who fed at
ter the fret FIRE. They were met by thei'
white comrades and driven back to the lines
not to stand long, but to run away as fast 81
they could out Of the reach of both combatants
The assault upon the rebels was then made
with great vigor by oar white troops, who were
confident of success; but after being driver
back several times, they at length retreased'
Therebel loss must have been very severe :
The Crescent (rebeD regiment entered the con
test with one hundred men, and next day coult
muster only tWenty-eight. The Orleans Ca
diets, q rebel company of mere youths, went int
the fight with twenty boys, and came out will
but six. The old steamer Cotton was at
tackled by three of our gunbosts and maintain
ed her position for some time in desperate
j but unequal fight With her three antagonist
She was finally abandoned and burned by or
der Of her commander, who was himself severe
" wounded.

Thurlow Weed on the Conscription Law
and the AbOlitiOnists.

The following is an extract from a recen
article published by THURLow WEED in tn
Albany, N. Y, EUsniHe Journal, over his owl
signature.
| Congress has armed the Government with al
the powers that ts exigences required. Tht
! Administration 10 clothed with extraordinary
financial and military authority. The Fedora
Government is now its own banker, aud its
armies are to be levied independent Of State
agencies, 10 the first year of the war our
young men rushed voluntarily to the field, and
banks as voluntarily supplied the Government
with ways and means. Marx the change, and
read not the lesson il teaches cayeiessly. 0ner-
ous laws can only be carried into effect I" with
the consent of the governed" Since the Con.
ices was chosen by which the conscription law
was enacted, there has been political revolu.
ton in four Of the largest States Of the Union
There are causes for such reaction. Let
those who are responsible, for the country's
welfare seek and profit by them.
The compulsory laws of the last Congress,
If benefcially executed, must have the concur
renee of the popular will. The public sentiment
must approve them. This approval can not be
obtained by prescription and denunciation -
Half q million Of men will not again "go to
their grave-like BEDS" under the threats Of
political hyenas who remain at home bowling.
This, by the way, Ia popularity of Abolition
fsnaticism. The zone idea" men do their ut
most to aggravate the horrors Of war, but take
precious care not to expose their own craven
carcasses. They are found, not with the
"erappling visOr, and rough frOwn of war"
but In lecture rooms, on rosHums, and In ed
itoiial chairs, babbling about negro regi-
ments," that only have an ideal existence, and
hurting anathemss at those who fght for the
Union. Take, for example, clergyman who
perpetrates an annual anniversary oration in
honor of tbs "Jerry Rescuers," urging the
farmers OF Onondsgo to devote their sons to
the war, while his own sons are engaged in
peaceful occupations.

General Hunter.

The following is an extract from letter
written at Port Royal, on the 4th inst, by
CHIs C. FULTON, editor OF the Baltimore Amer
iean, who, toe Cincinnati Commercial says, is a
perfectly loyal and reliable man
1t is scarcely necessary to say that Major
General Hunter is immensely unpopular with
all who have white skins in this department.
His attachment and devotion to the negro is SO
apparent and unmistakable that he has secured
the general aversion Of all the troops in the
department His driving of OF Generals Eos
ter and Nsglee, has changed this aversion to
utter detestation. Ii ia not difficult to foresee
that troops thus demoralized, are not in con
dition for successful operations against the
vindictive rebels in this neghborhood. Hopes
are, however, entertained that the authorities
at Washington will at once remedy the evil b.
restoring General Foster, and perhaps super
sedlns General Hunter with General Burnside
or come other more popular commander.

LYONS Kathairon.

This delightful article for preserving and
besutifying the human hair is again put up BY
the original proprietor, aud is now made with
the same care, skill and attention, which fret
created its immense and unprecedented sales
of over one million bottles annually! 1t is
still sold at Is cents in large bottles. Two
million bottles can easily be sold in year
when it Is again known that the Katbairon is
not only the most delightful hair dressing in
the world, but that It cleanses the scalp Of
scurf and dandruff, gives the hair lively,
rich, luxuriant growth, and prevents 1t from
turning gray. These are considerations worth
knowing. The Katbairon has been tested for
over twelve years, and Is warranted as de-
scribed. Any lady who values beautiful head
of hair will use the Kathairon. II is finely
periumed, cheap and valuable. 1t is sold by
all respectable dealers throughout the world.

Misconduct of Officers--Seizure Of Con

A correspondent at Memphis writes:

A correspondent at Memphis writes:
Much complaint is made Of the conduct oi
the officers lately stationed at leland No 10,
concerning the manner In which ladies we're
searched, the disposition made of contraband
property, and other mstters equally reprehensi-
BILE. Heretofore the officers located at that
point have been notoriously incompetent and
culpable Since Capt. Gatstord has had charge
of affairs, there seems to have been less diff
Guilty. The former officer was Capt Flanner,
Of tSe gunpoat New Era, who is now 10 Cairo
under arrest. Ii is claimed by one man, from
whom the sum Of $6I $40 was taken at Island
No. 10, that only $3e, $40 was returned, the rest
having melted away in transit.
In the matter OF the arrest Of the steamer
Ruth, It was found that Governments revenue
officer was partner of man named T. B.
Brown, in running through lot of uniforms,

South.
There were one hundred and fty boxes,

clothing, shipped at Cairo, where they had come
BY rail from st. Louis. All were coDfscsted.

The Democratic vote has increased nearly
5000 since 1860. The Abolition vote has fallen
of, including the independent strength, about
that amount. Nobody appears to nave gone to
the war. In the Western States we see the
chasm produced by the volunteers in the small
vote. Not so in New Hampshire. Her quota
10 the field, like oil Of the New England States,
must be very small, or she could not throw q
larger vote than che did in the Presidential cleo
tion of 1860.
According to the returns, one man 10 every
sir of those who have hitherto voted against
the Democracy, has now changed, and recorded
his vote in their favor. This is very large
cnange for New England community; but 1t
does not begin to equal the change in the West,
where it would be one to every four or fue.
The Democracy has for the first time since
1859 elected Congressman in New Hamp-

but gallantry, patriotism and personal courage
