HENRY CLAY ON SLAvERY.--By order
of Capt Hoyt, acting mayor of New Orleans,
this inscription has been cut into the base Of
the bronze statue Of Henry Clay in that city.
1t is taken from Mr.. Clay's spoeck, delivered
before the American colonization society at
Washington, January 20, 1927 " II could
be instrumental in eradicating this deepest
stain, slavery from the character of our
country, and removing all cause of repIoach
on account of it, would not exchange the
proud satisfaction which | should enjoy for
the honor of all the triumphs ever deereed
to the most successful conqueror."
We suppose the Freeman will wish to
know 4" by what authority" Gen. Banks per-
mitted Capt. Hoyt to cut such shining re-
cord, 1t is almost as bad as setting negroes
to work for wages. and encouraging them
to raise their own garden stuff, instead OF
loafng in idleness at the expense of Uncle
Sam.

SEVENTH REGIMENT.-A small battle was
fought at Pollard, near Pensacol0, Fla, on
the I'd, between the rebel troops there and
the Federal troops under Gen. Ashbot h.
Skirmishing began at about noon. At
o'clock our cavalry charged on the rebel cav
airy supported by infantry. A portion Of
Col. Holbrook's brigade, consisting of the 7th
VI. Vols, l4th N Y. cavalry and 18th regi'
ment Corps d'Arique, formed the reserve of
our forces, and being sklliully commanded
the rebels were whipped two to one as the
rebel officers taken prisoners acknowledge.
The correspondence Of the Boston Traveller,
from which we obtain the above facts, says
" 1t is impossible to give the correct mum
Der engaged on either side, as our forces were
ia two places. The rebels were commanded
by Col. Randolph who had narrow escape.
The rebel loss was two-thirds larger than
ours our injury being greater in the cavalry
than infantry Surgeon c, II, Newhal was
promptly on the field, aud, with no small
amount Of bravery, gallantly cared for the
wounded, and directed systematically as to
the disposal OF them. The fght lasted I'LL

FROM RED RIVER EXPEDITION.
Union Victory.


Advices from Grand Ecore, Red rive., up
to the morning Of the 18th, have been received.
The battle Of the 9Th was fought at Sabine
Cross Roads. The rebels were commanded
by Generals Magruder, Holmes and Taylor,
all under Kirby Smith. The enemy's loss
on the sth is placed at 1900. On the 9Th
another fight took place at Pleasant Hill,
where, as previously stated, the rebels were
most gloriously whipped and ronted by our
forces under General Smith Banks, Com
manding in Chief. The rebel loss was heavy
Two to our one. Among their killed we're
Gems. Mouton and Parsons.
After the first days fight, Gen. Banks be-
ing short Of rations, sent word to the Ad-
miral to return with the feet, which had ad-
vanced to within eighty miles of Shreveport,
and was preparing to blow up the steamer at
New Falls City, which the rebels had sunk in
the channel. On the reception Of General
Banks dispatch the fleet turned back, and on
the way down was attacked by large numbers
/ of the enemy on both sides Of the river. who
attempted to capture the transports. A fight
ensued between the gunboats and rebels, in
which the latter were splendidly repulsed
with 500 or 600 killed and large number
wounded, while none on the gunbosts were
injured Gen. Greene, commanding the reb-
els, had his head blown off By she'll.
letter from a member of Minis battery,
dating Natchothez, April 8, says we have
been very successful so far, capturing 500
prisoners and lS pieces Of artillery.
The rebels are now on our front 10000
strong, and being reinforced from Texas.--
We are expecting hard fight. A reconnois-
sanCe from us yesterday caused him to show
force of 10, 900 men. We fell back and
they charged upon regular battery under
Lieut. Rowles, who waited until the rebels
were close upon him, then gave them grape
and canister. They retreated with fearful
loss. We then fell back to this place, but
we're not followed. This battery was not en-
gagged
CINCINNATI, April %.
Private letters received here from soldiers
in Gen. Smiths army this morning fully con-
firm our victory near Shreveport. General
Banks has countermanded his order Of retreat
to Alexandria, and Gen. Lees cavalry have
been put in pursuit of the enemy.
" It is believed" says letter from staff
officer, -" that Shreveport will be occupied
this week. From all accounts our victory is
complete, and we recovered most of our pris-
oners and guns, with many belonging to the
Bnemy."'
1t would appear that our army is in good
condition yet, and not disorganized, as pre-
viously reported The feet cannot get up to
Shreveport in consequence of low water. Ad-
miral Porter is much chagrined at his inabil-
ity to render that assistance to the army he
had planned. Much is being done, however.

" 1t is quite possible that there are items
in the tax bill that should be changed but
for the most part it is an excellent bill, for
which Mr.. Morrill, Of Vermont is responsible
to large extent. The hard work of the
committee ON ways and means upon tax and
tariff bills is done by Mr.. Morrill,. He is
avery careful, prudent man, and is invaluable
to the committee and the House."

A German refugee, who left Richmond on
Monday last, states that every available man
in Virginia has been forced into the army by
conscription, even including theatrical per-

be ready to act as minute men. The Rich

Information regarded as reliable has been
received that Longstreet was at Bristol, Va,

There are indications that Lee may advance

Previous to Gen. Kilpatrick's departure.
he received by flag of truce letter from
Gen, Lee, inquiring whether the orders found
upon Col Dahlgren, as published in Rich
mond papers, were authentic and authorized
by him. The reply was an indignant denial.
There is little doubt that the reason Dahl
gren's body is not given up is because of its
shameful mutilaton aud unchristian burial.
The United States Christian commission
are greatly in need of funds.

The Brattleboro PhGnix says that gem
tleman who has spent the winter in Wash
ington. informs it that Hon. Portns Baxter,
NJ. c. from this District, is the hardest work
ing man in Congress. He is never absent
from his seat during session hours, and is re-
garded as one of the best business men in the
House.-Itmes.
We know very well that if any member
will run a race with Mr.. Baxter. he must start
cary in the morning, work sharply all day,
and not be 200 particular about bed time.
The Brattleboro' Phenix throws brick
bat at ex-Gov. Fairbanks and Gov. Smith,
because they did not fix every thing military
at Brat,leboro', and praises Ex-Governor Hol-
brook because he did. Bad for the Phenix.
Brattleboro' is certainly nearer to the enemy
than any place further North but South
Vernon and Bennington are nearer still. II
it is desirable to get as near the South line
of the state as possible with soldiers, Brat
tleboro' is not the place. II that is not a
material point in the case, then Brattleboro'
should not insist upon more than its just
share of patronage, and will surely be laugh
ed at if it does.
