NEW York, March 20.
The World states that on the 9th a small
rebel force was captured six miles below Port
Hudson, together with a signal book Of the
rebel army. Gen. Sherman is in command at
New Orleans during the absence Of Gen,
Banks.
The Baton Rouge correspondence Of the
Herald states that the signal station Of the
rebels only six miles from Fort Hudson was
captured on the 9th inst by 80 picked men
under Capt. Tremain and Lieut.. Wardell Of
the 30th Mass. regiment. Ii was very dAr-
ing and important expedition, and its success
brings up the rebel system Of signalling our
movements on the river. A fourth negro reg
iment is being organized and the 'antagonism
lately exhibited by our soldiers has subsidized
since they have been differed by white men.
The report of Stonewall Jackson being in this
neighborhood is generally believed, though
some place him at Clinton and Camp Moore
with force variously estimated at from 49,.
600 to 10000 men. It's supposed the rebels
under Jackson intend 70 flank our rear at Baton
Rouge as soon as forward movement is made.
If Jackson is at Clinton or Jackson, Missis-
sippi. he is in splendid situation, having the
Mississippi Central at command, and can in
few hours notice reinforce either Vicksburg
or Port Hudson. The reconnaissance made
by Col. Chickering, during which he destroy
ed two bridges, was very important in it's re-
suits, as all communication is thus cut of
with the enemy. Col. Chiokering captured
several prisoners, and received the thanks Of
Gen. Banks, who has since ordered him to
take command Of Baton Rouge during the
absence of the army. A sufficient force I'M
der his command has already been detailed to
hold it against surprise, and protect the pub
lie p, operty.

Lamenta6le Death Of a Ee,monter.

Ldmentdble Death Of a Fermonter
A very lamentablo affair occurred yesterday
morning in this city, being the death and rob
berry Of Lieut.. Lewis Graham Of Springfield
Vermont, late OF Company X, 10th regiment
OF Vermont Volunteers. 1t seems that on
Wednesday, Lieut.. Graham resigned, on ac-
count of rheumatism, and was honorably dis
charged by General Heintzelmen, and received
his pay. On that night he retired, at board
ing house, but at two o'clock in the morning
HE roommate testifies that he was awakened
by the falling of somebody upon the floor, and
he found it to be Graham, with bis throat cut
by pen-kpife. Medical assistance was OBJ
tanned after great delay, several surgeons re-
fusing to come but the wound was sewed up
ultimately, though in vain. Graham died at
six o'clock, or four hours after the wound
One of the surgeons testified that his lie
might have been saved, had assistance been
rendered in time. lnasmuch as the deceased
did not by word or sign indicate foul play, the
inference is fair that he inflicted the wound
himself, doubtless in moment of alteration
The Aum of 1854 was found in his clothing
and this money was counted by a policeman
and locked up in Graham's valise, but was
subsequently stolen. A man calling him'e"
McNaugh ton, and who protested to be news
paper reporter, was left in the room by 'ns
police, aud as he has disappeared, it is De-

HoMICIDAL PRACTICE.


INYALIDs, EXERCIsE YOUR REASON.
There are innumerable roads to that grand
terminus, the grave. More than fifty diseases
may be classed as fatal, under improper or
inefficient treatments and when we consider
the immense focks Of raw medical hedgings
that annually take wing from the collegiate
nests, it must be allowed that the sick, tend
ing toward their "long home" need never
lack professional aid" to boost them along
Knowing something of the habits of large
class of medical students, and how much they
prefer "seeing life" to investigating the phe-
nomena of disease and death, we do not place
much reliance on the skill of the young
Guard" of the profession, while on the other
hand, the veteran corps" are too much the
slaves of prejudice and precedent. The only
sure test of the value OF medicinal prepara-
ton, lie, the authentic record Of its effects
and as the most vouminous, comprehensive
and indisputable testimony that we have ever
seen Adduced in favor of any remedies, is that
furnished by the sick OF all nations, who
have recovered from almost every phase of in
ternal and external disease, under the opera
tion of HoLLowAY's Pills and Ointment, we
unhesitatingy and urgently recommend them
to all who need medical assistance. We con-
slider Professor Holloway one of the greatest
public benefactors the world has ever known.
He has not only originated two remedies
which are direct antidotes to the virus of dis
ease, but he has disseminated them over the
whole earth. Since their introduction into
the United States some years ago, more cases
of dyspepsia, fever and ague, liver complaint,
and ulcerous and eruptve disorders have been
Cured by their use, than by all other remedies
combined. Professor Holloway offers his
verified statistics, and challenges the profess
sion to the Proof-BostOn "7Fav,uer."
The following story is told Of the late
Major General Sumner at the battle of An

youth OF twenty-one, was on his staff The
old man calmly stood amidst storm Of shot
and shells. and turned TO send him through

rode gaily on with the message. He returned
unframed, and again his hand was grasped
with cordial "How dye do, Sammy 7" an !
swored by grasp of equal affection. The
scene was touching to those around.
The Richmond papers are croaking fear
fully over the want of food under which the
rebel armies are now suffering. All the /
country around the localities where these
armies are situated is completely stripped of
provisions, and the only resource lies in the
railroads, which are said to be giving out, for
want OF laborers TO keep them in order. The

Mr. EDtToR IN Noticing statement in your

Tucker, Of Company |. had resigned and
supposng it to be simply an error on the part
of your informant | take the liberty to cor
rect it and to say that his name was probably
mistaken for that of Lieutenant Leonard, who
resigned on account Of disability. AndJ am
happy further TO say that Lieut.. Tucker is
net only still remaining with US, but is also
doing the duties, as he ever has done, of n
able, efficient and highly respected officer ;
and to arrest any misapprehension that may
have arisen to his injury from the fact Of
Lieut.. Austin of Company F, being promoted
over him, | am uthorized to say it occurred
from no distrust Of Lieut.. fuckers fitness or
capacity, to Gil the position with honor and
satisfaction; but was rather the result of
circumstances, which at the time seemed I'M
avoidable, and no doubt that Lieut.. Tucker
will in due time receive the promotion his
real merits so Justly entitle him to.

About fvs thousand accepted the invitation,
and had glorious sport. The Tribune says
"Probable so much happiness was never
squeezed into six hours before. The little

laughed, sang, erowed, halloed and danced
for very JOY. Like great burst Oflarks,
they flashed across the blue field with
sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks and flying
feet their little cups Of joy filed full and

attracted cur attention. He vas skating

which he spun round as actively and rap

A few days before the steamer North
Star sailed from Key West a cOmmunica-
ton was received by Rear Admiral Bailey
from our Consul General in Havana, in
which he stated that he had just received
a telegraphie dispatch from the United
States Consul at Trinidad de Cuba saying
that an English brig had arrived from
Kingston, Jamaica, with information that
the Alabama reached that port on the goth
and landed the remaining officers and
crew of the United States steamer Hat
teras, sunk off Galveston, over seven in
number. 1t was further reported that the
Alabama had suffered severely in the fight
with the Hatteras; that she had hVe shots
in her hull, one of which, through her stern
post, was very bad one. She put into
Kingston to repair damages, and expected
to be ready for sea in four days.
Immediately upon the news being re-
ceived in Havana, the United States steam
ers Massachusetts and Oneida sailed direct
for Kingston. The Santiago de Cuba and
r. r. Cuyler, then on the south side of
Cuba, were ordered at once to the same
port. The TiOga and Sonora were steering
in the same direction.

One Of the new iron-clad gunboats is on
shipbOard, en- route for San Francisco,
where it will be used as hsrbor defence.
The Navy Department will Immediately
order the construction of two gunboats to
