IRON GEN. BANKS DEPARTMENT

IRON GEN. BANKS DEPARTMENT

from Berwiek's Bay:

forces under General Weitzel. Ssh,
is blown to atoms, and there is an END
to this formidable vessel Gen. Welt
eel has succeeded in getting heavJ
force in the enemy's rear, thereby
completely fanking them, and their en-
tire oysrthroz in that section is only 9
question OF few days time. The
rebel force is smaller than was at first
supposed. Gen. Weitzel ascertained
that il consists OF only 1000 infantry.
about I 900 cavalry and three pieces
of artillery"
The New Orleans correspondent OF
the Tribune states that the Harriet
Lane is blockaded in Galveston Bay
The rebels are fortifying the island.
fitting out the Harriet Lane. A large
number of rebel troops are eoncentra-
ting on the island, to resist our attack.
Com. Bells fleet is large and amply
sufficient to retake Galveston, but bis
desire is TO recspture the Harriet Lane
and not destroy her. We hear from
the United States Consul at Mats-
moras. Mr.. Pierce, that 1880 Union
lists are all organized on the Rio
Grsnde near Brownsville, into two
cavalry regiments.
They have horses and about one
half are armed. The Consul also
writes that about 1900 are ready to
join the Union ranks as soon as arms
and ammunition are furnished.
The announcement that Banks ex-
pedition was designed for Texas, and
that Gov. Hamilton was en- route with
large force for the relief of the State
has produced this organisation.
The Baton Rouge correspondence OF
the Herald says the various regiments
Of this division have been brigaded.
Information received from Port
Hudson fully confirms tie statement
recently sent you regarding the mum.
Der and condition Of the enemy at this
point. They estimate his guns too
high rather than too low; and there is
no doubt that four days ago his effect
i've fighting force was less than 10. 900.
His piekets are within seven miles of
this place, and bis scouts and videttes
come much nearer, daily.
There is very little restriction upon
and men living outside our
lines come here and return daily, Civ
ing. Of course, their parol not TO i'm
part information; but it may be easily |
judged that this parol is not guaranty |
Of silence, and there is no doubt the
enemy is fully informed, from day to
Day. Of everything that trsnspires in

TIE SHOOTING OF THE NEGROES AT
HARPErH SHoALs.-Tbe most afro
cious and cold.blooded affair Of the
present war, is the shooting of some
eighteen of the negro cabin boys and
cooks on the steamers lately csptured
at Harpetb Shoals. These men and
boys were tied and taken to an open
field near the Shoals, and deliberately
shot down in cold blood. Two OF the
negro servants on the Sidell, got in be-
tween the wheel and stern of the boat
and let themselves down into the water.
holding on to the rudder. They were
discovered by the rebels, and several
soldiers were ordered into skiff, and
rowing close up to the unfortunate ne
groes, discharged the contents Of their
muskets at them, literally blowing their
heads into atoms. ,,..-
The damnable villainy ofsuch cold
bIooded murder cannot but Gil every
heart with the fercest indignation, and
will beget measures Of the bloodiest re.
taliation.
The life of the -chambermaid OF the
Trio was saved by Mr.. Hurley. The
clerk, claiming her as his slave, whom
he was removing to Kentucky. And
even With this pretext be had the great
est difficulty in saving her from desti

mander of the rebels, Colonel Wade
We hope this scoundrei may be cap

acts Of barbarity have scarcely at
