FAYErrEviLLg- Some time since we an
nounced that Col. Brooks, having proceed
ed north of the Arkansas river, with o
small battalion rs nucleus, had succeed
ed in raising u brigade, ind Ind surround
I'd the Federal garrison NJ fayetteri!!s.-
Unfortunately being without artillery, he
was not able 20 force the evacuation OF the
place by assault, and was endeavoring 10
compel capitulaiion BY keeping the place
surrounded. He eficctually Cut of all their
supplies. and had them beSicged when the
army Of Gen. Price returned to Arkansas.
Col. BROOKS Immediately reported to Gen.
Pagan, who, wi III promptness and energy,
went TO his assistance from Cane Hill with
small force, and tive small pieces Of ar
tllery He took position on the south side
Of the town, and Oh the I'd inst opened fire
upon the garrison. Colonel Brooks advanced
from the north and west. The enemy kept
concealed ntheir Notifications, which were
very strong, whilst Col. Brooks approached
and took possession of part Of the town.
Here he learned that the Fedprals had re-
ceiYed dispatch from Gen. Curtis that he
WIS advancing TO their relief, and would be
there that evening, and encouraging them TO
hold out. In the tired condition of his
troops, Gen. Pagan, with commendable pru-
dencc, determined to Withdraw, and sent
word to Col. Brooks TO that effect, late in
the afternoon, leaving him TO guard and
protect the rear. Col Brooks remained un-
ill early next morning in possession of Il
portion of the town, and withdrew on tho
approach Of Curtis, who came up with 5000
men. Col. Brooks brought off his command
in inc order, and with them enough leather
to shoe them all round, together with q lot
of blankets, and considerable amount of
clothing.
OF course it Was impossible, under the
circumstances, to take the garrison with
out risking the loss of everything, and
Gen. Pagan acted wisely in abandoning it.
We are sorry on Col. Brooks account that
events were not delayed Eve or six days
longer, in which time he would have GER
tainly starved the garrison, or forced them
out to fight He has acquired high credit in
this campaign in the northwest, as brave
and efficient officer, and good discplinarian
and we would have been pleased to have
seen this new feather in his cap. Let us

the sei1ure Of the steamer Florida At Bahia
Dallas herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1849-1873, 1864-12-10
Seizure OF the Florida.

The material facts in thus case are told
by the Journal da Bahia, rs follows:
There Was in port the United States
steamer Wachusett, which since the com ng
in Of the Florids, had put itself in motion
in the interior. Fearing some fight, since
q challenge had been given, the president
OF the province obtained from the consul his
word o. hon II that peace would be kept,
and tht no action would take place in the
port, or within the line of neutrality. The
Florida, for better security, was placed I'M
der the batteries of the tGg.ehp.
On the 9th, its crew being n need Of some
rccreative rest, hnlf Of it was put on liber-
ty and went on shore, coming back in the
evening. Many Of the men being drunk,
and considering himself guaranteed in q
neutral por. the captain OF the Florida lot
thirty of his crew and some of his officers
sleep on shore OH the nights OF the 9th and
7,h. At $40 at the break Of day the officer
Of the deck, Hunter Junior, was surprised
to hear the cable loosen on board Of the
Wachusett, and her crew called to quarters
which was very difficult for it TODD. Near.
ly at the same time some boats filled with
men, boarded the Florida, receiving from
her n volley Of mnske,ry, and they were
seconded by the Wachusett, which not be-
ing seen, owing 10 the smoke Of the tunnels
and the night being very dark, had left her
position and rapidly ran towards the Flor
ida, passing b. the stern Of the corvette
Donna Januaria, which at once ordered it
to heave to- hut the captain of the Wachu-
sctt did not heed the order running rapid
~ upon the stern of he Florida which lay
to the north.
Hardly had she struck the latter, when
she fired u shot from bow gun. Atonce
mast of the Florida fell over and she lost
some men; but the crew returned Il feeble
fire 1t 10 asserted that there was II great
loss Of life Mt all points in the struggle that
took place with revolvers and cold eel,
that it did not last long, for the complement
o. the Florida was reduced by nearly 80 men.
Among the dead is said TO be the officer Of
the deck, who received ball in the breast;
and il is said that an officer, name Stone,
was also killed from q shot in the mouth
Another officer leaped on board Of the Wa
c uselt, struck about him and fell dead I'M
der he many blows dealt at him. Font
9 ,ilors of the fifteen who leapei into the $, 9
escaped, and these were picked up by yes-
sells lying near. The other eleven were shot
in the water by the enemy. After this brief
contest came an interval Of silence, which
WAS broken by prolonged cheers from the
Wachusett.

nevertheless, assembled: and evinced the
deepest interest, while the Rev. DIR. Kay
was admitted TO Presbyter or PRIESTS Dr.

of hands BY the RI, Rev. DR.. Gregg, Bishop
of The Diocese, in accordance with the d.

Most heartily do We congratulate tne
Episcopal Church on the acquisition OF TINS
able ans eloquent Divine, whose xtens'Ve
travels, experience and literary researc' 1,

comment at all necessary. Highly esteem
