GENERAL NEWS.

We learn, from The Chenango Union, that q
posse OF officers from the Ulster and Chenango Provost
Msrshsls Offices recently undertook an expedition for
tho arrest Of band Of deserers who were reported to
have sncamped in the mountains. on the line between
Ulster and Delaware Counties, in numbers variousy
estimated at from twenty-five to hundred. with
,ptrsnchmsnts. &C. The approach Of the officers TO
the place was sgnaled to the deserers BY the hrng Of
guns by some residents Of the nsighoorhood,
and when they arrived on the spot they found
an empty bsckwoods encampment but no IN
frsnohments, and there had evidently not been
moro than Q dozen PERSONS Occurring tho camp.

advance, but it was met with murderous fire
of grape and canister which the marines might
and ought to have checked. The sailors fell
back, though not till they had lost their leaders,
and had exposed themselves to great slaughter.
But the vigor of their attack, and the conceAtra-
ton Of the defense at that point had given the
land force time to gain the parapet. and the ene-
my received its first fire in the back. Traverse
after traverse was then carried by our brave
troops. To their gallantry and endurance Com
modorc Porter does full justice. But the aid OF
the navy was still necessary. The fire from the
ships prevented re6nforcements from reaching
the Rebels, while reenforcements were sent up to
our own men, and the sailors and marines, reliev-
ing the soldiers in the outer line of our deiences
enabled them to join the forces in the fort. Thus
the navy is entitled to its full share in the glory
Of one Of the most, if not the most remarkable
achievement of the war; Of Fort Fisher and
its adjoining works, Commodore Porter says
that their strength was greatly beyont

adds, "might be excusable in saying they

voluntary justification Of the withdrawal o
Gen. Butler-for such, no doubt, it was in
tended TO be-is worthy of the proverbial frank
ness of sailor. Gen. Butler, it will be remem
bered, had neither siege train nor intrenchnt
tools commanded much smaller force thar
Gen. Terry, and had an enemy to confront
outside the fort stronger than his own command
But history will set that matter right in due

The vndication Of Gen. Butler By Mr.. Bout

and though it is only what the friends OF that
gentleman knew could be shown by the record,
the public will be surprised TO learn that he has
rested 30 long and so patiently under the impu'
tations and ISLANDERS which have been heaped
upon him without measure and without shame.
Gen. Butler, we know, has been repeatedly
urged to enter upon his own defense, but a
wise man knows how to wait and
he has left it to tine and proper
opportunity to justify him TO his country

JEFF. DAVIS AND HIS SITUATION

Tho following statements are from the Fortress
Monroe correspondence Of The philadelphia In-
qairer, dated May 28
Yesterday morning Davis complained Of
being siok, aud expressed wish TO see ply
slcisn. The officer Of the day, after consulting
the proper authorities, told his prisoner that a
doctor would be allowed him. what physicians
have you here p asked JEFF. Of Capt. ]. f. Tet.
low, the officer of the day on duty yesterday.
Captain Tetlow mentioned the names of Doctor
Bancroft Janewey, and Craven.
where is DR.. Bancroft from 7" queried JEFF.
"From Connecticut" answered the Captain.
"Dont want him Where's Janeway from 7"
''Do you know where Craven is from ?" persisted
JEFF. "Yes, he is from New Jersey" 'Let me
have him, them In Justice to DR.. Craven, We
feel compelled to say that Notwithstanding the
inyidious and insulting selection Of lhe chief oil
traitors, the physician is aud ever has been al
unconditional Union man. dyed in the wool
The Doctor found nothing seriously wrong with
Jeh's physical condition.
The real reason Of Daviss desire for a physi.
clan became apparent when his noontide meal
was served TO him. The murderer OF our pris-
oners is fed on the regular army ration, precise
ly Of the same quantity and quality as is served
out to our soldiers in gsrrison. JEFF has moi
been partsking of this food with any apparent
relish Al noon, yesterday, he threw his soup
bread and meat from him, excaiming in louC
and angry voice, "that he was not accustomed
to such living, and would not put up with it,"
The officer and his guards on duty within the
cell looked on in quiet surprise. Davis became
yet more irate, and strode up and down his cell
excaiming that he was "to be murdered"
AT one time he endeayored to deprive one oi
the guards Of his gun. Failing in this, he tore
open his vest and shirt, barred his breast, and
asked to be shot The melo-dramatic reques
was not complied with.

HAVANA, Saturday, May 20, 1866.
We have no news from abroad Of interest, and
the all-absorbing topic is tie StOnewall. There
have been as many rumors as rslators, each
making report for himself.
II had been rumored that Capt. Paige wished
to surrender on the same terms as those ex.
tended to Gen. Lee, so Capt. Boggs Of the Con.
necticut, who had some experience with Rebel
rams Mt the taking Of New Orleans, sent him a
note demanding his surrender and profferinQ
the terms extended to Gen, Lee. The reply
was that present instructions from his Govern
ment did not permit him to accept the offer Of
Capt. Boggs.
From the news lately received from the
United States, Capt. Paige probably concluded
he would not be likely for some time to receive
instructions from his Government, 80 he applied
to Gen. Dulce to deliver the vessel up to him. on
condition that she should never bo delivered nm
to the United States. Gen. Dllce Immediately
and firmly refused, stating that had be demanded
her surrender they might have claimed con-
ditions, but as they had come to him voluntarily
TO surrender her into his hands he would accent
no conditions whatever, but would receive her
as deposit This was finally agreed 10 and
the officers and men put ashore. a guard Of
Spanish marines taking custody Of the ram.
