General Grant Essues an Order against

WASHINGTON, March %.
General Grants last order is as follows:
''NonoE To employees IN MILITARY RAIL

military railway service, is positively for
hidden. All employees of Government in this
department, detected in using liquor when

All along the railroad from Long Bridge
to Brandy, strong stockades are being erect
ed for the protection of commissary and
quartermaster's stores. This does not look
much like an abandonment of this route to
Richmond.

parative zeal of the different sections of the
country, in raising troops for the war. Its
statements, statistical and geographical. are
evidently prepared with great care and the
spirit of its decision in the matter is eminent
| ly just and impartial.
Figures, that are said to be incapable of
falsehood, give the West the palm in this
honorable competition. We have not room
for the entire article of the Times, but we
copy the concluding paragraphs-the sum-
ming up of the differences and the conclu-
sion to be drawn therefrom
THE loyal States are divided into four
great divisions-the Eastern States or New
England, the Middle States, the West and the
Border states. In examining the table, we
find that, previous to the call of last week,
the number of soldiers due on former calls
from the six New England States was S,504
from the four Middle States New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, 100,-
409-and from the five Border States, Della
ware, Maryland, Western Virginia, Kentucky
and Missouri, 3,3967-while in the seven
Western States there was an aggregate cred
it Of forty-one thousand sir hundred and
Ninety. Regard being had to the ratio of
the population, the deficiency in the Border
States is about t1oaUs aud half out of a
thousand; in the Middle States about ten
out of a thouand in New England about
tuo and half out of thousand; while in
the Western States there is a positive orer-
plus of nearly one in q thousand.
This exhibit is most extraordinary. But
extraordinary as it is, it cannot be contra
dicted. The data are official the results are
as certain as arithmetic. What do they
mean? Is it indeed true that there is this
graduation in the quality of the patriotism of
the different divisions of the so-called loyal
part of the country? Must we admit that
the West is first in the earnestness of her
devotion to the old flag, New England next,
the Middle States next, (and next, too, with
a long interval, and the Border States last

CAIRO, March g.
Reports were numerous in the city this
morning concerning big fight that had ia
ken place at Paducah, and the destruction OF
the town. The facts, as we have obtained
them from the best authority, are these:
The rebels, after leaving Union City, were
Joined by another detachment, so that their
combined force numbered G, 500 strong
They are reported to have been commaeded
by Forrest himself With this force he made
q dash into Paducah at p. III. of the 18th.
The place was defended by Colonel Hicks,
with about 500 men In all. There was also
two gunboatS In the river. Immediately af-
ter the enemy entered the town, their sharp
shooters, sheltered by houses commenced to
pick off our men i'll the fort, and the gun
boats Immediately opened upon the town.
The inhabitants left it as quickly as possible
most Of them crossing over the river
The fight lasted from l p. m. till mid
night, during which time Col. Hicks and his
brave band displayed great gallantry, and
were materially aided by the gun-beats when
the rebels, having lost several hundred in
killed and wounded, were compelled to re-
tire. Our troops being protected by fortif-
cations, our loss was comparatively light
1t was expected that the fight would be
renewed this morning, but endorsements
have been sent from this place, which are
known to have reached there, and no fears
need be entertained Of the result Supplies
have also been sent. large number of
houses have been burned and considerable
property destroyed. This could not be avoid
ed, the enemy occupied houses. They could
be driven out only by destroying the build
ings that sheltered them.
The fight was severe, and the conduct of
the Union forces, both officers and men, was
all that could be desired.
The rebel Col. Thompson was killed His
head was taken off by a cannon ball.
The rebel loss was very severe.
There is a rumor that several women and
children were killed, but it is perhaps exag-
gerated.
A portion of our forces were negro troops
and fought splendidly working the siege guns
admirably.
Our loss, as reported, was II killed and 40
wounded. The rebels acknowledged 900
killed and wounded
The headquarters and Quartcrnasters
buildings were burned by the enemy. They
sent in flag of truce at three separate times
demanding an unconditional surrender The
gallant Colonel in command replied that he
could not see surrender. The rebels were
commanded by Forrest, Buckner and Thomp-
son, the latter of whom was killed Their
whole force numbered more than 5000. At
last accounts they had retired ON Mayfield.
Our force in the fort had nearly run out of
ammunition, but supply has been sent up
from this post, which has already reached
there.
