Frsm the Houston Telegraph, Jan, 23l
The following official dispatch was received
here last night:
SABINE PASS, January 81 via
LIBERTY, p p s
To Captain E. P. Turner. A. A. G.;
engaged the enemy to-day, and captured 10
guns, and about $I,000,00 0 worth Of property
aud 100 prisoners. o. NJ. WATKINS,
Major Commanding.
From the Telegraph Extra. Jan. %
The arrival Of Capt Sehowalter, from Sabine,
brings rs some particulars of the brilliant Yicto-
~ Of Major Watkins aud his gallant comrades
of Sabine.
Major Watkins, come weeks sines, organized
an expedition by order Of Major General Magru-
der, having for its object the clearing Sabine
Bay of the enemy and their capture.
To effect this object the two little steamers
Josiah Bell and Uncle Ben was placed under his
command, with about three hundred men drawn
from Pyron's, Speight's and Cooks regiments
The Bell was armed with a sixty-four pound
rife cannon, and the Uncle Ben with two
eighteen FOUNDERS.
The enemy, learning, no doubt, that the expe-
dition was fitting out in Sabine river. and warned
by our success at Galveston, left the pass and
took position in the gulf twelve miles distant.
The expedition got under weigh on the Doth
and ran down to the pass. On the morning of
the Dist the steamers got up steam and started
for the bar, They discovered at about twelve
miles distance two vessels, which proved to be
the brig ofwar Morning Light, mounting eight
thiTty-twos and one rife gun, and 4 schooner
the name Of which our informant does not re-
member-mountiag two splendid Dahlgrens.
The Morning Light is the same vessel that
destroyed Winston's salt works. Her men, it
will be remembered, were thoroughly punished
in that affair.
The moment the vessels discovered them they
put up ssiland ran to sea to escape our steamers.
All steam WAS at Gree put on, and an exciting
chase commenced.
At about 10 o'clock, the chase having contn-
ued about fifteen miles, the Bell got in range
and the Davis Guards let fly their first gun st
the Morning Light. The chase continued for
some miles further, giving our boys time to fire
ten or twelve Shots several Of which took effect
in the brig.
The brig answered but was unable to hit the
Bell at all. Having now approached to with
in good @asket range, it did not take long for
the riiemen TO clear the enemy's deck. Before
the Bel reached her her colors were hauled
down, and our boys took undisauted posses
sion.
1t did not require long to take The schooner.
Thus has Major Watkins continued the bril-
liant performances i~uaugursted by General Ma
gruder on our coast and without the loss of q
nan or gun added to cur navy two excellent
vessels, eleven heavy guns and stores of the
most valuable character. All honor to him for
his gsllanTy!
How the Bell and Uncle Ben were fitted up
need not here be told. They belong to the Ma
pruder feet,

THE TRANs-mEssrssEPPr DEPART
TEEWF.

As the public has already been ai7ised Of the
fact by publication in our c~osemporsrss Of this
city, we presume it win no longer be considered
e-ontr2bsud to Announce that a new and indie
pendent command has probably been assigned
to Nsior-Gsaersl STERLING PRICE. The CRISIS
states that ieleg1em from the Secretary of
war tea b official IN this department an
nounces that a new appointment has been made
for General HOLMES distdc, aud that Major
General PRIca VIII be placed IN the active com
mand oial -hs aoops in inst department. taking
with him the Missouri regiments now in the
army Of the West We would be pleased 10
know tast this had been determined upon, but
are inclined to be skepteal. If true we think
care would have baen ake- to conceal the fact
from the enemy. Should General PRICEbe sent
west of The nver, however, with his veteran
troops now vita him. and unite them With the
remnant Of TIE army now under Generals
HOLMES and HISDuAE, and such recruits as
his military reputation s. a leader, and popu-
larity as 6 nan would st once Eany around his
standard q better state Of things than now ex-
lists would soon Be realized, and our enemies
find something to Do elsewhere than in the heart
Of the Southwest as Of present. We hope the
reportis true. but doubt It. The return Of Gen
Price 70 Missouri would be hailed as enthusi-
asticaily as was that Of Napoleon from Elbs to
France.

A gentleman who is in all respects reliable,
and who left New Orleans on Wednesday last,
brings some interesting intelligence from that
city. He says the Federal vessel Brooklyn
came up to the city badly riddled. It is sup
posed the damage was inflicted upon her By
Confederate wal vessels. Ton Of the pilots in
the Federal blocbading squadron were confined
in the custom house for alleged treachery in
permitting two Confederate steamers to pass the
blockade and procure coal from two schooners
inside the Yankee lines. He says the Missis.
sippi was sent out in chase after these vessels,
eighteen days sgo, and no tidiUgs Of her had
been received.
He also states that $50 Federal officers had
arrived in New Orleans, and sixty of them were
confined in the custom house for disloyalty. Il
is the prevailing opinion among the true men
of the city that the FedeTals are preparing to
evacuate not only Baton Rouge, but New Or
leans slso.-Mississippiaa.
