REBELIoRDNANCE DEPARTMENT.


The Richmond Enquirer has an article
on the efficiency of the rebel Ordnance
Department. In its enthusiasm it appa-
rently becomes ungusrded, and points out
several valuable objects, some of which
Sherman may deem worthy of attention.
The Armory and Laboratory at Macon,
Arsenals at Athens, Columbus and Savan-
nah, in North Carolina; the Arsenals at
Fayetteville, Raleigh and Salisbury, and
in Virginia, the increased Government
works at Richmond.
FIRE IN CHARLESTON.
A fire at Charleston on the I'd instant,
doubtless ignited by Yankee incendiary
missiles, destroyed very extensive Govern
ment shops and an armory containing can
non, large number of small arms, and a
considerable quantity Of clothing and sup
plies.
Richmond papers give rather fattering
picture of the icentiousness prevailing in
the city.
Gold is quoted in Richmond at s27.75@
$500. Flour $850@36G per barrel.
The Richmond Whig, in commenting
on the capture of the privateer Florida,
says:
The act was great indignity to Brazil,
but one to which she will no doubt, qui
etly submit.

CONTRADICTION.

The dispatch published in the Philadel-
phia Bulletin, as special from Washington,
and purporting to be taken from the Ma
tioaaI EHtslIigsHesr, has no foundation in it.
What the blteIhgeneer ssysi in regard to the
matter, is as follows: We are under the
impression that thus far no such PROPOSE
tion has been seriously contemplated by
the President.

Bliss and Secretary of State White.

Little Six is ours, whether Mr.. Bull likes
il or not He has always been opposed to
peace, and in favor of war to the end.
It was reported that fifty Of the good In

selves up.
News from the Indians on the Plaias
and at Turtle Mountains was that iney
were in favor Of peace.
Besides Little Six, another Indian Hamed
Medicine Bottle, fell a Victum of ths
same strategy, and the two will answer
for Indian Mason and Slidell. II John

than to apologize and erawfsh.

After we drove the enemy from the
bridges yesterday, the rebels commenced q
rapid retreat. Our cavalry closely follow
ed them up and skirmishing ensued.
Last night a portion Of General Sui
lfvan's forces, in attempting to cut the
enemy of, encountered large force Of
rebels in Mechanoisburg Gap, near Rom
ney, and in the neighborhood Of this Gap
brisk fight took place.
We eventually succeeded in compelling
the enemy to take another road to the
right, and skedaddle with considerable
precipitancy.
In this engagement we took @ number Of
Orisoners.
In retreating, The enemy hastensd to
make junction with the main rebel for
ces uear Moorfeld.
It Is believed that General Sullivan and
ColonlI Mulligau's columns have formed a
junctiop I and are now pushing the enemy
vigorous y.
If the ,Nnemy escapes our forces he Ger.
tainly will not be able to take away much
of his plumber.

The injury to bridges, is slight, and they
are so far repaired as TO enable east and
and west bound trains to resume and con
tinue their regular trips on time.

An unusual number Of refugees from the
South are entering our lines in order to
escape conscription. They started the
night after the passage of the act
conscripti0g all persons liable to do mill
tary duty. Ninety refugees were caught
by rebel pickets along the ChiokshOminy
These were given passes for thirty days,
with orders to report at the expiration Of

Fear are entertained in Richmond OF

of such an attempt.

FRnM WASHINGTON.

WAsHISGT0N, February 4.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Kachen to-
day authorizes the Secretary Of War
through the proper officers of the army, in
the several Military Departments of the
cotton growing States, TO issue certificates
of Indebtedness, to be paid after the close
Of the war and the permanent restoration
of the authority of the United States over
the State of which the party receiving the
certificate is at the time citizen, to be de-
livered to any person possessing cotton in
bales, who shsll bring The same, or cause
the same to be brought to any mil
itary post or position now occupied
occupied or held by cur troops. The
amount Of such certified Indebtedness not
to exseed one-half of he estimate value Of
such cotton at the sespOrts of the United
States open to foreign trade. The Secre-
tary of War is authorized TO provide by
proper regulation that no person shall be
permitted to purchase in such district any
cotton which is not at the time of such
purchase in the possession OF persons re-
siding within the military lines, and NOV
able without military protection. The bill
has been sent 10 the Committee Of Ways
and Means.
The House bill to increase the Internal
Revenue as it passed the Senate to-day,
provides that after its passage, in lieu Of
the duty provided for in the act of July
Ist, 1868, in addition to the duties paya-
BILE for license, there shall be paid on all
spirits that may be distilled and sold, or
distilled and removed for consumption, or
sold previously to July lst, 1864, Of first
proof, duty Of 60 cents per gallon; and
upon all that may be distilled after this
act and sold or removed for consumption,
or sales on and after the lst Of July
| next and previous to July next 70
cents per gallon on all liquors that may be
distilled after the passage of this act, and
sealed or removed for consumption or
sale; and after the lst Of January next,
eighty cents per gallon in addition to the
duty heretofore imposed by law. There Is
to be paid on spirits distilled from grain
or other materials, whether Of domestic or
foreign production, imported from foreign
countries previous to the lst of July next,

gallon and on all such spirits imported
from foreign countries previous to the
lst of January next, duty Of fifty cents
and on all such spirits, imported from Tor
eign countries, on and after January next,
sixty cents per gallon.
Greatly exaggerated reports have been
published as to the number Of rebel de-
sertsrs received by the army of the PotO-
mac. They averaged last menth from five
to twelve per day, but the arrivals have
been more frequent thus far dnring tht
present month; not, however, at any time
exceeding the latter estimate.
A letter received from the army tonight
says Last Monday was the time appoint
cd for the rebel conseripts Of Virginia L
assemble at their various rendezvous
Refugees say that large portion Of then
declined doing so, and many will pro
badly reach our lines.
There is nothing exciting from the front
