of nine Rebel Steamers Oh the

Washington, June y.
Rear Admiral Porter has sent to the
Navy Department report dated Mlssls-
slppi Squadron, near Vicksburg, June
lst, in which he says:
After the return of the expedition under
Lieut.. Commander Walker up the Yazoo,
and the destruction Of the rams and the
Navy Yard, | despatched the same officer
up again, with instructions to capture the
transports, enclosed IN his report, be-
sides the steamers mentioned as bnrnt
The rebels burnt the Acadie and Ma
genta, and also two Of their best trans
ports.
Ny object was to break up their trans
portation on the Yazoo, and with the ex-
ception of few steamers beyond Fort
Pemberton, the rebels can transport no.
thing by water on that river.
Steamers TO the value of S800,000
were destroyed by the late expedition, 8
in all.
The Star of the West has sunk com
pletely. blockading the Yallabusha River,
and the gunboat Jay was found sunk
near Liverpool landing.

"A few days ago General Pemberton

A BRAVE FELLOW. - Lieut. Col. Ii.
G. Wartmoth, of Gen. Netherlands staff,
relates an interesting incident of the fight
Of the 23d ult., at Vickshnrg, to almost
this effect:
Sergeant Joseph Griffith, of Company
/, Twenty second Iowa, took eleven men
and with them drove a squad of rebel gun
ners from an earthwork and held it for
some time. The rebels were reinforced,
and returning killed the eleven men, Crit
eth being knocked nsensble to the ground.
The rebels were occupied in the fort, and
continued to fire at our men. just as they
had discharged all their pieces, Griffith re-
turned to consciousness, and seizing his
musket, jumped to his feet and demanded
tina. they should surrender. Their mus
ke.s bein empty and his loaded, he forced
them, len in number, to comply. lie
made them lie down and stay there until
he found favorable opportunity to march
them within our lines, which he did IN
safety. Besides this, he killed one cap
tain by shooting him, and knocked down
two men with the butt of his musket.-
Griffith is represented as quite youth,
but, we can see, not lacking in courage.

washington June y.
From what can be ascertaned from
persons arriving from the Kappa .annook,
a division went over the river at Frank
Inns Landing last night, and the rebel RI
lie pits and foliage along the banks have
been destroyed, SO that the enemy will not
find cover from which to annoy us.
Earthworks have been thrown up in
front, with the view, it is probable, of pre-
venting night attack. and to shield onr
men if the enemy should open a cannon
AIDE.
Fredericksburg is still held by the enc
my, and no attempt has been made by our
troops TO take it.
The troops we have thrown over are not
far from the town. ...
The rebels have not yet fired their guns
at us.
1t would be improper to mention the
ADMIRAL FooTE, AND A NEW ATTACK
ON CHARLESTON.
A Washington special to the Post says
there is no news received of ofea OPP
erations by the rebel cavalry IN Culpep-
per region.
Admiral Foote arrived this morning
He is making preparations to assume
command of the South Atlantic Squadron
and a new attack on Charleston may soor
be expected.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1863-06-11

They answered every expectation. Their
conduct was heroic No troops could be
more determined or more daring,
They made during the day three char
ses upon the batteries of the enemy, sut-
fering very heavy losses, and holding
their position at hightiall with the troops
on the right of our line.
The highest commentator is bestowed
upon them by the officers in command on
the right,
Whatever doubt may have existed here
tofore as TO the efficiency OF organizations
of this character, the history of this day
proves conclusively to those who were IN
condition TO observe the conduct OF these
regiments, that the government will ind IN
this class OF troops effective supporters
and defenders.
The severe test TO which they were sub
iected, and the determined manner IN
which they encountered the enemy, leave
upon my mind no doubt of their ultimate
success.
They require only good officers, com,
mands OF limited numbers, and careful
discipline to make them excellent soldiers.
Our losses from the Odd to this date IN
killed, wounded and missing are nearly
1000, including, deeply regret to say,
some of the abest officers of the corps.
Our official dispatch received here to,
day from Major General Rosecranz, dated
Murfreesboro, June 9th, says;
Last evening dispatch from Col. j.
B. Baird, commanding the post at Frank
lin, Tenn, was received as follows: Two
men came into camp about dark, dressed
| in our uniforms, with horse equipments
! to correspond, saying that they were Col
Anton, Inspector General, and MaJol
Dunlap, Assistant, having an order from
| Adj Gen. Townsend, and your order 10
inspect outposts, but their conduct was Sc
singular that we arrested them, and they
| insisted that it was very important to g
to Nashville tonight.
Col. Baird asked if there were an,
such persons in the army, and II so thei
descriptions, and replied at once that the,
were most likely couple OF spies, an
directed him to forthwith order a cour
and if they proved TO be spies to execut
them Immediately which was done, an
they were tried and condemned to b
hung, and the sentence was carried int
effect before ten o'clock this morning.
On being discovered they confessed the
were officers In the rebel army, one CO
onel named Lawrence w. Orion, and OF
claimed to be first cousin of Robert LIE
and Is said to have been chief OF aruller
on Bragg's staff.

The garrison and inhabitants Of Puebla

their ammunition entirely gave out before
they would consent to surrender.
General Ortega was greatly dlsappolnt-

On the 18th of May General Forey
sent flag of truce to General Ortega, of

soldiers to march out--otiicers with their
side arms, providing they would give a
parole not to serve again against the
French.
This was refused by Ortega.
Meanwhile General Ortega spiked his
cannon, burnt his gun carriages, destroyed
the arms of his infantry and then surren-
rendered as prisoners of war.
General Reguls and his aids, and also

being prisoners, committed suicide by
