Rebel Attack on Galveston and the
Federal Fleet.
Capture Of the Harriet Lame.
The Flag Ship WestfeId Flown Up.
Com. Renshaw and Lieut.. Zimmerman blown
up with the Ship.
CAPTURE OF FEDERAL TROOPS.

New YORK, Jan. II.
The steamer Creole arrived tonight, from
New Orleans the Sd. She was detained by
order of Gen. Banks to bring dispatches to
Gen. Halleck.
Purser Cook reported that by the arrival of
the gunboat Clifton at South West Pass he
learned that early on the morning of the LIST
the rebels made an attack by land and water
on the federal forces at Galveston. Our gun
boats were attacked by five rebel steamers,
protected by double rows of bales of cotton
and loaded with troops armed with rifles, mus
kets, &c. The Harriet Lane was captured by
boarding after about all her officers, including
Capt. Wright, Lieut. Lee and the crew. 1870 all
told, had been killed by the musketry from the
rebel steamers. My informant states tltlt but
one or two of the officers and twelve or fifteen
of the crew escaped death. The gunboats
Clifton and Owasco were engaged and escaped,
the former losing no men and having but one
wounded, and the latter having one killed and
thirteen wounded. Two banks loadeE with
coal fell into the hands of the enemy. The
Westiield flagship, Commodore Renshaw, was
not engaged being ashore in another channel.
Her crew were transferred to transports and
the Commodore, fearing she might fall into the
hands of the rebels blew her up. BY some
mismanagemet or accident the explosion oc-
Cured before the boat containing Commodore
Renshaw, Lieut.. Zimmerman and boats crew
got away, and they consequently were blown
up with the ship.
The crew of the Westfield arrived at New
Orleans in transports, and the remaining
troops are OH their way back They did not
arrive until the place had been evacuated.
The rebel force was estimated at about 5000,
under Gen. Magruder. Our land force. under
command of Col. Burrill of Massachusetts,,
did not exceed 300, the residue not having ar
rived, or had not disembarked at the time of
the fight. Our loss was estimated at $50 to
100 killed and 200 taken prisoners, the navy
suffering the most. 1t is thought the rebel
loss much more. as our guns were firing grape
and canister continually in their midst. The
Federal troops were on one of the long wharves
and repulsed two charges of the rebels before
they surrendered. The rebels had several
batteries on the shore.

scripts.
CAIRO, Jan. IL.
An arrival tonight from the mouth of the
Yazoo brings authentic accounts from Vicks-
burg Gen. Sherman's repulse was complete.
The entire force, under the direction of Gen.
McClernand, re-embarked Saturday. The
rebel advance coming in range OF our gun
boats were driven back with severe loss. At
last accounts the entire fleet of transports with
troops had arrived at Island No. So, on their
way TO Napoleon.
There is nothing definite from Gen. Banks
or Admiral Farragut, though rumors OF their
advance are in circulation.
The engagement at Vicksburg was less gen.
eral than heretofore reported The principal
fighting was done by the centre, under COM
mand of Gems. Smith and Blair. The conduct
of the latter was highly spoken of. Our loss,
as near as could be ascertained, was 600 killed,
1900 wounded and 1000 missing. Capt. Gwynn
of the gunboat Benton, died of wounds re-
ceived in the recent attack at Haynes Bluff.
The steamer Musseman was burned by
guerillas at Broadleys Landing, 10 miles

Capt. Moore, with about 100 men, attacked
camp of 300 rebels at Huntoon's Mills, 81
miles east of Fort Pillow, on the morning o

| prised. Sixteen were killed and 46 taker
prisoners. Fifty horses and lot of small
arms were captured. Two of our men wer,
wounded. The expedition was absent from
Fort Ely about n hours

n ATT ERS ABOUT TOW N

PORTLAND STEAM FIRE ENGINES We
published Saturday notice from the Portland
Company, with some commendatory letters
respecting the Steam Fire Engine manufae-
tured in that establishment. We wish to call
the attention of the public to these machines.
That they are what the company claim for
them, more compact, less liable to get out of
order, easier managed, and more effective at
fires than any others, is fully sustained by
the certificates of those who have purchased
them and used them. There is not acity or
large town In the State but that should
have one of these machines. At one fire more
than the cost of it will be saved. The i'm
provements OF the pump which have been in
troduced into these machines have been pa
tented by Mr.. johnson, and cannot be used by
any other than the Portland Company. There
is now no necessity for going out of the State
to get afrst class steam fire engine.

LEvEE.-There will be a levee at Lancas-
ter Hall this evening for the benefit OF the
Ministry at large. 1t is a most worthy object,
and we hope there will be an exceedingly
large attendance at the Hall. The Sabbath
School connected with this Association in the
Preble street chapel, is open to all, and the
destitute are made comfortable in order that
they may attend the school. Connected with
1t is a sewing school, which embraces all, with
out distinction of color, who are taught to
sew, and provided with cloth to make gar
ments for themselves. Let this charity be
well remembered, and let its purse be hand
somely replenished by large turnout this
evening. There will be dancing, and music
by Chambers Band, which will be worth
more than the price asked for admission,
which is only twenty-five cents.

fitted out in English ports with the design Of
violating the United States blockade.
The Navy Department has received dis
patches from Commander McDougal of the

resents that the cholera prevailed more or less
in all the Chinese ports he visited, so much so
as to make it unsafe to permit the crew to go
on shore. He made the passage to Japan
through the Inland Sea. The numerous islands
were in the highest state of cultivation. At
the outlet of the Inland Sea into the Bay OF
Oraki, and also at the outlet of the Bay of
Oraki, Notifications were being constructed
for their defence, all OF which had been done
within the last three months. Commander
McDougal states that at the request of our
Consul at Nagasaki, he rendered a passage to
DIR. Dury the French Vice Consul at Yoku-
hania, for which he received polite letter OF
thanks from the French Minister. He further
states that on the 9Th inst, for the first time,
and in accordance with the usage of civilized
nations, our Minister was saluted with II guns
from japanese ship of war. with the Ameri-
lean flag at the fore, which was returned from
his ship with like number, the japanese flag

foreign nation receiving that honor from the
