nnmRsrTO TRAITORS.

We are glad to learn from the Mobile AdUsr-
tissr thst the safety committee in that city met
on the Dist instant and passed resolutions con-
demnatory of certain domestic trnitsrs in that
vicinity who, it seems have refused to take
Confederate notes in their private transactions.
The committee proposes to publishes the names
of those who are guilty Of this parTicidal crime,
in order thss they may be held up to the scorn
OF the pubic. The AdUertiscr Vungently re-
marks that the man who is SO basely selfish as
te be guilty of it, must needs have rhinocerOs
hide, impenetrable 10 public opinion, and a
heat scared by love of msmmon into insensi-
bility to shame. His doom should be that Of
tho soldier who disgTaces his uniform and bis
corps by some degrading crime, and who is
drummed out of camp to tho tune of the rogue S
march This degraded citizen should be driven
beyond the Confederate lines and sent to more
congenial companionship and residence among
the Yankees. It is mOnstrous injustice that he
should live here to reap the fruits of the toll,
sacrifices and the blood of brave people,
while his solitary sgency in the terrible drama
is to add to its burthens by sacrificing to bis
own sel6sbness and cupidity.

rom the AlexanGria Democrat, April %
As yet we have received but few reliable par
ticUlaTs Of the late battle at aud near Camp
Bislsud. The enemy fully fourteen Thousand
strong attacked our forces, numbering less than
Eve thousand, in our entrsuchments on the
morning of the 18th, aud after several hours So
we're fighting, made despsrats aud determined
charge in full force on our works. The assault
was well met by our troops and the enemy
checked and foiled in this hold q t'mD' TIE
balance of tho day heavy skirmishing was kept
up. On the morning of the 18Th tho contest
was renewed in earnest, and q similar des-
perste charge again made by the enemy, but
al to no use. Oar boys again received the
shock and stood their ground like men.
There is no doubt that the enemy were
whipped at Ills point. But he was re-
csiving heavy reinforcements and that II our
rear. At this state of sffairs it became obvious
that our heroic little band had TO beat q retrese
which wes commenced On the morning Of The
10th. And here in this retreat cur Commanding
general showed himself a military man in the
true sense of the word, and his men al army of
heroes. We doubt much If such retreat was
ever excelled. Gen. Taylor at the heal Of his
chosen band made . furious and desperate
charge through the entire fresh fanki1g column
of Banks, and opened path for his trains
and thus the retreat was accomplished
through the only road openad to them.
No other engagement took place until ths l7th
when tho enemy were attempting 70 forcs them
selves over Vermillion bayou; here they were
sgain Tepulsed with fearful loss. Since then We
have only heard Of slight skirmishing. Oar army
have effected their retreat. and with the rest and
rsinforcemeDts willy make a stand provided the
enemy advance. The latest inteiiigsncs from De-
low report their pieSets still at Veralion bridge
The bulk Of the army is this side Of OpslousaS
As yet no estimate can Re formed Of our loss, or
that Of the enemy. From the best information
two hundred viii cover cur killed and wounded,
and four huodrod captured. The less Of the
enemy must bo large The estimate Of their
loss ct VsTmillion bridge is pus down at fva
hundred killed and wounded The Diana aud
two or three transports, as well as the gunboat
Hart, were destroyed in the Teehe. Our most
serious loss was the destruction Of the Queen
of the West in Grand lake. She was attacked
by three of the enemy's boats, and early in the
action struck by an iHcendiary shell. and in
moment was enwrapped in flames. The fate of
her crew is yet unknown. Capt Fuller was IN
command of her. and all the particulars can
only be learned from Faderal sources.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The Navy Depart
ment has received the following official dispatch,
dated United States steamship Pensacola, of
New Orleans, April 18th
On the morning of the 9th ult., ct about
dsybreak, Admiral Fsrrsgut, in the Hartford,
engaged ths batteries ct Wanentou, three miles
below Vicksburg, and passed below it. On the
morning of the 29.h ult., before daylight, the
Albatros, having taken in full supply of pro-
visions from barge which had bsen floated
down the previous morning by Admiral Porter,
also passed the Warrenton batteries, and an
chored near the flagship.
About A. NJ the Wharfboat Vicksburg, hav-
ing broken sdrift from her moorings at the city,
foated down, and ran ashore opposite to where
the Hartford and Albatros were anchored. Dur
ing the day an officer was sent on board Of the
Vicksburg, who found that all her machinery
had been removed. She had nothing on board
save four muskets and accOUirements. While
the Admiral was hesitsting as to tho proPriety
Of Tetai,ing her as a wharf or rather depot, the
rebels came down, and, on the night Of the
Both, burned her.
The Switzerland, Hartford and Albatros,
after being all filled with coal and provisions,
passed Warrsnton on the morning of the lst
ult AT Daylight tne libtie squadron pIOcs6Qeu
down the river TO Turner'S plantation, where
on our passing, we had seen the wreck of the
Indisnols. We found no traces of the wreck
but learned that it had slipped of into deep
water during the late gale. We anchored here
and remained until about $50 P NJ, when We
down and engaged the battery at
Grand Gulf. This battery consisted Of soma
two or three heavy guns sent down from Vicks
burg. One Of these guns was mounted upon
steamer which had been concesled up The BIC
Black river. The enemy had also light feld
battery. They struck the Switzerland twice,
doing no damage. Tbs Albatros was not
struck at all. The Hartford wes struck only
,nee, but this shot killed ore man. This was
me only casualty. We passed this battery in
shout fifteen minutes and anchored below Grand
3ulf destroying on our way down a large num-
,er of skifs
On the morning of the 10Th we got under way
# A. NJ, and proceeded down to Bayou Sara,
yhere we stopped, seized upon and threw into
he river about 10000 sacks of corn and beef,
nd proceeded on our way to Port Hudson,
where we anchored about Eve miles above tie
atteIies on the 9th
On the evening of the 9TH inst, at O'clock,

f the rear admiral, left the Hartford, and

It is useless to Disguise the facs that Northern

Since tho Yankees have been go badly
whipped at Yicksburg and Charleston, aud
gunboats are looked upon as being quite as
vulnersble as the Yankee armies, a calm has
settled over the public mind A victory does
not suffice to rouse enthusiasm nor yet excite
nent I0deed, the reported defeat Of Van Dorm
near Franklin, created as much desp0ndent ex-
element in the public mind as the news Of a
victory last year used to create eiatiOn. Vic
tory has SO often perehed on our banners, it no
! longer eates. and not even the demolition of
the beiit Yankee monitor, iTon-clad and double
turrekd, could cause a faint cheer from the
most original secessiOnist" Bat in the place
Of excitement about victories gained, there il 8
feyerish desire to know something OF the actual
position of affairs in Tennessee. To that point
al eyes Rre turned, and expectation is on tiptoe
to learn the meaning of The mysterious move
Tents put on foot By the enemy. This sOlieitude
is natural. We are far removed from the scene
Of the prospective conflict, and we feel the ira
portance of the situation there. We cannot
doubt for q moment that the strenuous efforts Of
the enemy viii be used to gain triumph over
Johnston and Bragg and, with his prepOnder
ant force, it will take good strategy and des-
psrate fighting to overcome the odds against
Us. We DO not fear the result Of any attack the
enemy may make, for We will be on the defsu-
sive, and experience has proved in this war, that
IN tnAt pOsltions we can hold th0 V8ndals n i
check sgainst heavy odds. What we fear is, |
that The wiley Rosecranz, by some unforsesn |
movement, may force our generals to attack 4
him when another heavy slaughter may occur
without any decisive result being obtained.
Whstwe want to sea, should a 6ght cone 4

World, Washington, 2lst, Gays: "Thres weeks
sgo it IS understood that information was re.
eeived in Washington from an undoubted
source that the strength of the rebel ermy on

men, the main portion being some ten miles IN
the rear Of Fredericksburg"
Dispateh to the Philadelphia Presal
WASHINGTON, April 19-Is is understood
that the advsnce of Gen. Stonemsn was merely
to ascertain the locality Of the main body of the
rebels, and to discover whether any considsra-
be force has been sent to the Shenandoah val
ley. AS part Of the programme, the destrue-
ton OF the railroad communications with
LynchbuTg and other Virginia localities was
also embraced
From quarters entitled to credit, information
has been received that large umbers of rebels
had left Fredericksburg. It is stated that only
pieket-gusrd has been left behind, aud the state
ment IS generally credited. Il is positively
known that a considerable body Of the enemy
have been detached from service on the Kappa
hammock
The heavy rains on Wednesday night pre-
vented the advance of the Union army as
planned. There is no secret now that, while
Stoneman with his cavalry and light artillery
was operating in one direction, the infantry,
properly supported, were to have crossed tie
k9ppahannOck again at the same point crossed
by Burnside. The movement Wss to have taken

The Fleet Before VicksBurg.


CINCINNATI, April pa special dispatch
from Memphis to the Gazette gives the follow
ing particulars of the passage of the Vicksburg
bstteIiss Seven gunboats, one ram, (the one
taken from the rebels), and three transports,
started on Thursday last to run the blockade.
All went well until about two-thrds of the way
down, whom the bills back Of Vicksburg were
lit up with large fires. The transport Forest
Queen at once returned, and the Henry Clay
was compelled to stop. Several shots struck
her below the water line, and others passed
throush,her. All hands made for a Aasboat, 90
the boat was sinking. It is believed that all
were lost. The pilot foated down the river nine
miles on plank, and was picked up opposite
Warrenton. The Forest Qussn was eonsiders-
bly, damaged, and he'd her steam drum shot
away.
At last accounts heavy firing was heard in the
vicinity Of Wsrrenton, supposed to be the gun
boats shelling the batteries at that place.
There ere eleven gUnboGis below Vicksburg
now, including three under Fsrragut.

gagged. No casualties were sustained by our

rebel batteries, and thinks that they are cuff
