CHICAGO, March 10.
The New Orleans Era of March 5th has the fol
lowing We learn by good authority that the
establishment at Clinton, La, for the manufacture
of arms ammunition, &c, was totally destroyed
by fire some two weeks since. The loss TO the
rebels is particularly bad at this une, as tneir
troops in that section have been very scantily
supplied Their officers depended on supplies
from these works at Clinton. The difficulties
allnded TO by the Confederate Secretary of War
have been greatly increased by this disaster. 1t
is reported that the Harriet Lane cannot be OF
any use to the rebels they nave no macnihe
sbon in Texas at which she can be repaired. Her
port shaft is bent six inches out of line and two
aanges on the port wheel were burst. She was
thus completely disabled by the last shell thrown
by the Oa0aSco
The Camp Blunt (Ark.) correspondent of the
De,nocrat of Feb 26th, says the Cherokee Ma
tional Council has just adjourned This is the
same Council that was coerced into passing an
ordinance of Secession by the rebel army. Their
first act was to repeal it unanimously, and they
then passed an Act deprivng of office in the Ma
tion, and dsqualifying all who continue disloyal
to the United States. They also passed an Act
abolishing slavery.

special dispatch to the Herald from Salt Lake
City, March 9th, says disturbance between the
military and citizens was imminent. Gov. Har-
ding and Associate Judges Watt and Drake have,
it is understood, called on Col. Conner to arrest
Brigham Young and Counselors Kimball and
Wells. The Judge of the District can serve any
civil process but the citizens are in arms and de-
termned to protect their leaders by military
force. Other Federal officers and Mormon citi-
zens have teegraphed to Gen. Wright to re-
strain Col. Conner till an investigation can be
had. A Californian who left for Washington
that morning had been arrested by Col Conner
and brought back. 1t is presumed that his inten-
tions were unfaYorable to Conners military in
reference.

New YORK, March 10.
The Nassau correspondent of the Herald states,
under date Feb 2Sth, that the rebel schooner
Retributon arrived there on the night of 25th.
Her officers met at the Royal Victoria Hotel in
the evening, discussing loudly their piratica eX-
ploits. Last evening three fast steamers entered
here within an hour, viz: the Georgia, brig
rugged iron propeller the Brittania GOddeSS
Of Neutrality, side wheeler, iron brig rugged,
very fast the iron screw steamer Gertrude, brig
rugged, fast This fine feet will prove valuable
addition to the rebel pirates, and unless we can
send Battle or a PandebW on their track, their
capture will be next to impossible.
