The report OF the Senste Finance Committee
on the Civil Appropriation Bill strikes out the
clause reducing the mileage Of Congressmen to
ten cents per mile and curtails other minor ap-
preparations, and also reduces the estimate Of
the agricultural department from Sl30, 900 to S60,
600. and the printing Of the laws from $1,000 TO
5000.
Rear Admiral Lee has forwarded to the Navy
Department a report from Lieut.. Cushing dated
Beaufort, North Carolina, January sth, detailing
the particulars Of reconnaissance near Fort
CasWell, on Little river, with only twenty-five
men. While proceeding up the river they were
fred upon BY the rebels from bluff on the LEFT
bank. Landing and forming without firing gun
they moved forward until they came in sight Of
fort and q camp FIRE, WheTeupon they made
bayonet charge, Lieut.. Cushing judging that the
enemy we're ignorant Of the number Of his force.
The charge was successful. They captured
the fort, our men going over on One side as the
rebels escaped on the other. The fort was found
to be an earthWork surrounded by ditch with
a blockhouse inside, pierced for musketry- =
Lieutenant Cushing learned that the fort had
been held by q company Of Infantry, who left It
in such haste that their stores, clothing, ammu-
milton, and portion Of their arms were captured.
He destroyed all the property he could not
bring away, and returned to Beaufort with the
loss Of only one man, who was wounded. The
officers and men of this expedition behaved
nobly.
