NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The correspon-
dent of tie Boston Journal, on board the
gunboat Jackson, at Ship Island, writes,
on the 18th ult., as follows: Last night,
about ten O'Clock, small sailboat came
down the Sound with some very important
intelligence. The rebels in Fort Morgan
revolted, and during the difficulty the
rebel Gpnhpats in Mobile Bay attempted
to arreet the garrison of the fort. The
whole fort being in revolt, and with the
American flag flying, they opened on the
rebel gunboats with every gun in the fort.
They succeeded in driving the gunboats
off, but were not on their guard, and that
night large force was sent from Mobile,
capturing the whole garrison, except four
men who escaped in the darkness in a
small boat and came to Ship Island, when
we for the first time heard the astounding
intelligence.
Since then we have heard more of the
revolt from some additional dessrters.
Seventy of the revolters are condemned to
be shot to-day in Mobile.
We also learn from these deserters that
on Horn Island, up the Sound, there are
eighteen more 'deserters from the rebel
army in and around Mobile; and around
the island there are about forty deserters
from the same quarter.
They bring the very important intelli-
gence that the rebel army in and around
Mobile have organized secret societies, dc.
termined to fight no longer. 1t is said
that this movement started among the
soldiers is growing stronger, and many
officers are comprised in the movement.
think this the most impor tant move
ment since the warts most significant in
favor of the successful termination of the
war. am confident that this news il

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Senator Trum-

tee of facts connected with the release Of
James N. Hunt from the Old Capitol
Prison, and the connection of Senator
Hale Herewith, declares emphatically the
employment of the latter was barely pro-
fessional, and he violated no law in accept
ing fee in Office from Hunt before any
civil or military tribunal, or even for en-
deavoring to procure his discharge from
prison.
It is held ID the report to be improper
to accept compensation for prosecution Of
claims, or for obtaining contracts, or Off
ces, or for the transaction Of business in
the several departments q government,
but not for accepting fees for services in
judicial bodies.

tary Chase is understood to favor the
amendment.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means are to-day engaged upon the war

of this bill will be geaty exceeded, owing
to the new proclamation of the President
