CHICAGO, April ~
The evening Journal publishes extracts
from private letters from the members Of the
Chicago Mercantile Battery dated Aprl 2.
to the effect that on the day after the recent
disaster to the 18th army corps, Gen A. J.
Smith with the 10Th army corps engaged the
rebels and defeated them, capturing 1000
prisoners and 20 cannon.
Washington, April 20 The following dis

10 Hon. Gideon WeHes, Secretary Of the Navy:
have received private letters from Red
River--one dated Grand Ecoro, La, 10th
inst, and one dated Alexandria, La, 10th
inst, stating that the army under Cen Banks
met with reverses on the Sth inst, near
Mansfield.
Our army then fell back, and on the next
day the rebels attacked them and we're hand
somely whipped. Loss heavy on both sides
Admiral Porter, when last heard from, was
about 40 miles above Grand Ecore. The
river was low.
(signed) A. NJ. PENNooK, Fleet Capt.
letter dated Grand Ecore, the llth,
from private in the Mercantile battery con-
firms previous dispatches, as regards por-
tion Of our troops of the Red river expedition
and says only 1909 men are left Of one divis-
ion numbering 5000. The 9Th irmy corps
checked the rebels and held them 25 minutes
when they were forced to retire which they
did slowly, and as night came on the bloody
conflict ended. The next morning A. j. Smith
came up with his command relieved Gen.
Franklin. and whipped the rebels badly. re-
capturing II OF our guns and took 500 pris-
oners
Another letter from a private in the same
battery, says our corps (l3th) is all cut to
pieces and we fall back to this place to reor-
ganize. We lost "a pieces of artillery, all
that we had in the fight. This letter says
Geo. Smith captured 2000 prisoners and SO
guns in the fight on the 9Th.
Still another letter says: We get all sorts
of reports from the 'front.' The latest is that
Gen. Smith whipped the rebels, taking 1000
prisoners and Is guns. The expedition is
no doubt broken up ard our troops are fall

CAIRO, ILL.,, April 20.
Information obtained from reliable sources,
confirms the statement of the Chicago Jour
mails Red river letter of the 10th inst, con-
corning the battle of the 8th at Pleasant Hill.
Our loss, however. was greater than is there
in stated. The fight wound up in the rebels
being handsomely whipped and driven from
the field with heavy loss.
The greater portion Of Hickman, KY, has
been burned by the guerrillas.
The officers Of the steamer Anderson saw
about 400 guerrillas in Henderson, on the
18th, and has passed without landing. The
5th and 10Th Mississippi, the 2nd and 18th

of greater loss.

THE ATTACK ON PLYMOUTH,
NORTH CAROLINA.
PHIIAnELPHIA. Anri

PHILADELPHIA, April II.
The Inquirer has letter which says the
rebels made an attack on Plymouth IN. c. J
and an assault on Fort Gray, but were re-
pulsed with fearful slaughter.
The Inquirer says that rebel deserters state
that Lees force on the Rapidan is $1,000
strong. Longstreet was at Charlottesville
marching towards Staunton for the purpose
OF advancing down the Shenandoah Valley
Lees army had received seven days rAtions
for forward movement.
The Boston Advertiser has the following
special dispatch relative to the attack on Ply
mouth, n. c.
The following account of the recent attack
on plymouth, n. c., may be relied on:
On Sunday last large body of rebels
moved down the Roanoke river upon Ply
mouth, accompanied by hotilla consisting
of a ram and four othe- gunbosts OF these,
two were river boats, which escaped our
forces when Plymouth was taken. The rest
have been built since. The rebel force is
variously estimated at three and at five bri-
gades, consisting OF between fifteen and
twenty-five thousand men.
As the fleet came to the line of obstruc-
tions, which forms part OF the protection of
Plymouth, it engaged the Union gunboat
Whitehead, and It is said sunk her.
At the same time a land attack was made
on Fort Grey, our farthest defensive work,
about mile above the town. This fort is
under the command of Capt. Brown of the
S5th New York. His force is one company
of that regiment and one of Massachusetts
heavy artillery. The enemy attacked him
three times, and were repelled with loss on
each occasion. The Bombshell, Union gum
boat, which was in communication with him,
was fired on as she brought down his last
dispatch to Plymouth, and had three men
wounded.
Gen. Vessel, an experienced officer. is in
command at Plymouth. lie was not taken
by surprize, having been informed OF the
probable attack for some days. aud with Gen.
Peck, the commander OF that department,
having taken measures to resist IL. He had
sent non-combatants away, aud was apprised
OF the enemy's advance by his cavalry, who
lost several men in killed and brought in ten
wounded in their skirmishing with the enc
my advance.

NATIONAL CURRENCY BANKS, q

NATIONAL CURRENCY BANKS, &c.
The bill which the House passed fixes the
amount Of circulation at three hundred mil
lions, one sixth Of which can be in notes less
than five dollars until specie payments shall
have been resumed The banks can charge

wise, the state banks are to be induced to
change to national currency banks, or at least
to use the national currency instead Of their
own bills, so that the amount Of currency in
the country will be kept within tolerable lin
its. The treasury will favor this policy and
call in the legal tender paper as fast as possi-
bic, and keep i, in, if funds can be secured
through bonds and taxes. 1t is said that an
agent Of the treasury has started for Europe
to negotiate sale Of bonds for gold. The
effec, already is in New York to make green
backs scarce and reduce the fever Of specula-
ton The Boston Advertiser wisely hints to
debtors that now is the time to pay their
debts, since the unnatural initiation of gold
and every thing else will be speedily reduced.

The Montpelier Freeman was quite quere-
lous because Gov. Smith was not present at
the reception of the veterans OF the Eighth
Regiment at Montpelier, and thinks he should
have detailed some official to welcome them
in behalf Of the State. The Freeman ought
to know that the Governor, the Adjutant and
Quartermaster General, indeed all the State
officials were busy bees, in obedience to an
urgent order from the War Department, in
getting the Seventeenth Regiment ready for
the field. Gov. Smith is too proud of the Yer
mont soldiers to omit any opportunity to
heartily welcome to their homes, unless the
necessities of the public service, as in this
case demanded his presence elsewhere.
We submit, under the circumstan oes,
whether there was anything in the conduct
of the Governor on this occasion which called
for the caustic comments Of the Freeman.-
burlington Times.
The censure of the Freeman was none the
less uncalled for because Gov. Smith took
care to have his absence explained satisfacto-
rily. He was here on Saturday to see that
every thing should be properly done for the
boys of the Sth, but had to leave so as TO give
that evening and Monday morning to the 18th
regiment, which left on Mcnday.

Battles at Paintsville and Half
Mountain.
The Enemy Surprised and Routed.

C1HoINNATI, April 20.
A dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial
from Cattlesburg, Ky, dated the 10Th inst.
says;
Capt. Patrick has arrived here with over
100 prisoners captured at the battles of Paints
vile and Halt Mountain on the Licking river.

ing rebels with 500 men Of the l4th and seth
Ky. and surprised them on the l4th inst in
camp at Half Mountain, capturing 20 priso-
ners, 200 horses, 400 saddles, 800 stand Of
small arms, and other camp equipments; IS
rebels were killed and wounded. A large
amount Of stolen property was recovered and
returned to the citizens. A rebel wagon train
was also captured and burned. Our loss was
one killed and four wounded. The rebels
we're commanded by Coils. Clay, Prentice,
May and Johnson. Col. Clay is among the

the Lockwood three. The rebels we're said
to have thirty pieces of artillery, including a
battery Of 32-pounders from Lees army.

day night. No fears we're entertained from
the land attack. II our gunboats we're driven
off by the rebel iron-clads, the rebel Aotila

But il will be seen that our naval force in

Official reports from Plymouth, N. c.,
state that the rebel ram hoated down the
river in the night and passed the batteries at
Plymouth, and was first discovered immedia-
ioly under the bows of the Miami, floating
with the current. Commander Fluseer who
was regarded one of the best officers in
the service. went toward, sighted aud fred

rebounded and killed him, one piece cutting

LATER.-The baltimore American has ad-
vices from Norfolk, Va, that the steamer
Eliza Hancock arrived there Thursday from
New Orleans via Morehead city, where she
was taken possession of to bring important
dispatches to Gen. Butler. The Captain re-
ported that a rebel m came down to within
few miles of Plymouth, ~ c.. and on the
18th attacked our fleet and sunk the gunboat
