Within the last ten days nearly forty
millions Of dollars have been paid out Of

are nOWROntinuing at the rate Of four mil
lions per day. Within another week funds
win have been provided for paying off the
whole army up to the first Of March If

The Navy Department yesterday tele-

cOncile the contradictory statements as to
the number of ~Farragut's feet that had
passed Port Hudson. An answer was re-
eeived to-day. They knew Of the passage
of none but the Hartford. It seems unac-
cOuntable that they should not know if
more had passed up, but it is equally IN
accountable that the rebels should &C.
knowledge the passage Of two in their dis
patches.

FROM VIcKSBURe.
The YazoO Pass Expedition
Movements of the Fleet.

CAIRO, March q.
The Memphis Bulletin of Wednesday
evening has the following:
The steamboat J. c. swOn, which has
been lying opposite YazoO Pass, arrived
this morning. The expedition had returned
since the opposition made by the COnfed-
crates at Greenwood, in which the gun
boat Chillicothe was much injured. When
the returning boats had arrived on the way
back within fifty miles of the Mississippi,
they met the boats having Quimby's diVi.
sion coming to reinforce them. A confer
ence was held by the Commanders Of the
retiring and advancing fleets. The results
of the conference were not known u the
Swon, but we learn by intelligence which
reached the city from another quarter,
that it was agreed to abandon the whole
expedition by the Pass. Probably this
conclusion was arrived at in consequence
Of the success of Admiral Porter in accom-
plishing the object of the YazoO expedition
from another and more direct point. The
Pass is very difficult to navigate, and the
small number of casualties is q matter Of
generalization to the feet. The only losses
we're the sinking Of the Jenny Lind and
Tuella, caused by striking stumps lying
below the surface of the water. Both boats
were loaded with cOmmissary stores, pOr-
tons Of which were saved. The Tuella
was lying about eight miles from the Miss
issippi river, and the Jenny Lind a mile
beyond her. The Jenny Lind can be raised
without much difficulty, but the Tuella is

1. This organization shall be known as the
Sixth Ward Union League.
2. All persons land those only who approve
of, and subscribe to the following declaration
Of principles, are cordially invited to become
members Of this League.
1. We are utterly opposed to Secession
and Disunion, whether betWeen the North and
South, or the East and West; and we denOunce
as traitors, those who are directly or indirect
ly aiding either.
9. We urge upon the Government the most
vigorous prosecution of the War; and we re-
cognize the right and the duty Of the Presi-
dent and Congress to decide upon and
adopt the policy and the measures to be used
in its prosecution, and our duty to earnestly
sustain the Government in the measures and
means which may thus be adopted, whether
in accordance with our individual views or
not, and denounee any other course as dis
loyal, and tending''to anarchy.
3. We pledge to the Administration and to
our brave Soldiers in the field, an undivided
support in the prosecution of the war, until
this atrocious rebellion shall be utterly
crushed out, and the authority Of our glOri-
Gus Union firmly established over every inch
of our territory.
4. While we are in favor Of temperate and
fair discussion Of the policy and measures of
the Administration, we d~enOunce as dislOysl
and revolutionary, all efforts to stir up party
prejudice and bitterness among the loyal
people Of the North, by partizan denuneiation
or otherwise; and also, all efforts 70 create
prejudice and alienation between the West
and the East, as a direct aid and encourage
ment TO the rebels, who desire a divided
