ON. s,pes that at the battle near Pat'ersonvi 10,
In which Cen Ernory'S division was engaged, tho
Major of the 175ia New-York ELECTED unbounded
admiration for his cool daring. He was the only
field officer who remained mounted during the action.
Communication with the corps was seriousiy
threatened on Sunday bya crevasse 10 the levee OF
the BAYOU Lafourcle near 1hibodeauxville extend
Inr for nearly one mile and flooding the country 10
a considerable extent Orders were on MONDAY
telegraphed to forward without delay 10 Brashear
City ali Quartermasters and Commissarles ss0res'
The occurrence WAS purely the result OF accident,
and n large force of contrabands aud citizens I'M
mediately lent their efforts in It's suppression AS
the water has now receded for considerable dis
lance no fears are entertained from the crevasse.
Gen. Banks is doubtless intent upon cutting oil the
supplies and destroying the means OF transportation
OF the enemy snugly ensconced at Fort Tucson.
Should this object be successfully accomplished, the
Rebel stronghold must necessarily be evacuated Tho
General is seemingly endeavoring to put to the best
advantage the remaining period OF service OF his
nine-months volunteers. i am credibly Informed
that the time Of discharge for nearly 80 regiments
will expire in June. The hopes of the Rebels are
based upon anticipated movements against our forces
under bagruder from Texas and KIRBY Smith from
Arkansas.
In May last a very useful tug called the Fox was
CAPTURED in bayou near the Gulf by our forces.
She was dispatched on the llth inst. to the South
west Pass by Capt. A. n. Shipley, Assistant Quar-
termaster TO and the Fulton in dsengaging herself
from the bar. The next tidngs of her from the
telegraph operator at Pass iOutre, who reported
thai 81, .ad been seen making toward Mobile. The
latest Mobile papers contain an account OF her cap
ture by Capt Andrews aud Is men OF that city, who
lett Mobile in yawl and proceeded TO Pass a POu-
tire, when they boarded her while lyingsat the
wharf. The captain of tue Fox, named Walker, is
supposed by Capt. Shipley to be an accomplice in
her capture. lie was once Lieut.. Commander of the
gunboat Oregon.
You OF the North but feebly realize the encourage
ment and JOY given 10 the army, the navy aud loyal
citizens and the hopeessness engendered IN the heart
OF traitors by the glorious results OF tue Rhode Island
and Connecticut elections. They are an omen OF
new born energy, determination and patriotism on
the part of the North. The gold market has great
weight with our citizen Rebels. Should the precious
metal depreoiate in price, no comments are voiuna'
ry expressed by them but let II rise two per cent
aud vast importance is thereto attached With
gold at the present comparatively low rates; with
| the loyal pledges of the men Of the Eastern States
lost expressed at the tallo-box, and with the geDer
GUS reception extended 70 tie COnscrlpton law, the
new NATIONAL motto promul gated by Senator Cband'
ler seems to be the concentrated voice OF the Amen
can people: Fight, pay or emgrate - AT nc
.riod since the spires OF Richmond churches daz
xled the eyes Of Gen. Mcclellan with ia al glare
have we apparently lad such cause for congratula
ton, and Tor the firm trust that the old flag will soon
wave from the Kennebec TO the Rio Graude.

Cromwell on TUESDAY, and the Mcclellan on
