vain
The rest Of the attacking column had now swung In
against Potters works. and the firing iued upon the
left, where the rebels had given way was suddenly re-
newed with terrific sharpness upon the right Tho Nine
tesnth New York, Eleventh Massachusetts, and Second
Maine batteries intermnged the sonorous music Of
artillery with that Of the infantry, and for hour the
conflict was dearening. The Nineteenth New York bat.

Of a knoll and directed their nre a ravine. The
reverberations OF each discharge resounded In
quence with fearful distinction through the hollows and
rolled from valley to valley.

the flying enemy and gave him pursuit in particular
Corporal Bernhard OF the Fourteenth New York heavy

chased him about quarter Of Q mile, when the rebel,
who had loaded he ran turned and the pursuer and
pursued crossed bayonets The rebel fred-the ball
passing through Barnhards hand and disabling him The
rebel exuingly shouted, "There, you damned Yankee
take that" and continued his retreat don't know but
he did further insinuate thar tho Corporal Yankee
offspring OF female canine; but be that as 1t may he
didn't wait to the effect Of his shot, but proceeded on
his way, while the Corporal returned In search Of the
hospital.
THE NAME OF TIE FIGHT.
The tight to-day will probably receive the name Of the

New York, March lI.-New Orleans
sdvices of the LIST, per steamer Western
Metropolis, state that military move
ments are still in progress for the repos-
session of the country beyond the
Teehe.
The bombardment of Fort Powell, be-
low Mobile, continued vigorously The
rebel batteries replied, but none of our
vessels were seriously hurt The only
casualty on our side was the wounding
of one man.
A letter from the fleet says Farragut
intends to silence Fort Powell so as to
send his mosquito feet into Mobile Bay,
and by so doing cut off Forts Morgan
and Gaines. The bayssis said to be OBJ
structed three miles below Mobile in such
manner that vessels are compelled to
pass under the guns of two ironclad
forts, and battery on the west shore
Mobile is defended strongly at every
point. The ram Tennessee still lies in
the bay. Mobile was almost entirely
destitute of soldiers, 10000 having gone
TO meet Sherman.
The Posts Key West letter has a
EuuOE budt Ouo Oi L arIdguLS steamers

and another rumor is that he had cap
tured the works.

When information reached Richmond
that Fitzpatrick had crossed the Rapidan,
most rigid orders were issued respecting
the prisoners, and when the fact that Xii

mond was established, the prison was
mined and two hundred kegs of powder
placed under it, and every preparation
made to blow the prisoners into eternity
Ignorant that the prison was mined a
plan was formed to attempt to join oui
