FROM RED RIVER.
Surrender of Rebel Ram Missouri.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The Navy Depart
ment has received from Commander w. E.
Fitzhugh his report concerning the surrender
of the rebel naval forces on the Red River.
Commander Fitzhugh, in his dispatch, which
is dated on board the Ouichita, off Alexandria,
La, June Sd, says that he started up the Red
River on the 28th of May, with the steamers
Benton, Ouichita and Fort Hindman, and the
tug Fern, in company with Maj. Gen. Heron
and his steamer, the Ida May, in advance of
the troops. He encountered no resistance
whatever. All which he met seemed well dis
posed. On the morning of June Sd, the squad
ron met Lieutenant Commander j. 81. Carter,
commanding the rebel naval force of the Trans
Mississippi squadron, and received from him
the iron clad Missouri. Lieutenant Command
er Carter informed Commander Fitzhugh that
the Missouri is the only naval vessel on the
Red River or its tributaries. The Champion,
one of the pump boats captured on the late
expedition, was turned over to the army. The
Missouri has been brought below the falls, and
is to be refitted at the mouth of the river. She
Is reported to be o very formidable vessel, and
is heavily armed and plated with railroad iron
She resembles the rebel ram Tennessee. Her
battery consists of one 11-inch gun, one 9-inch
gun, and two heavy 32.pounders.
Commander Fitzhugh has gone up to Shreve-
port to secure such property as may belong to
the navy. The number of naval prisoners pa
rolled by him at Alexandria was eighteen men
and six officers, including Lieut.. Commander
j. II. Carter.

Mrs. Perrine's Case...A Petition for
Pardon.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The case of
Mrs. Perrine, which was presented to the
President few evenings ago by that lady
in person, was referred back to the Bureau
of Military Justice for reconsideration of
sentence. That reconsideration has taken
place, and the Judge Advocate General re-
ports that he can see no reason for modi-
tying or changing the judgment of the
Military Commission, which found Mrs.
Perrine guilty of the charge of giving aid
and comfort to the enemy, and sentenced
her to imprisonment for the term Of three
months. The matter is again before the
President upon Mrs. Perrine's petition for
executive clearance. She says, in her Pc
tltion, that it can scarcely be necessary for
the preservation of the honor and dignity
OF this great country that an humble wo-
man shall be incarcerated in dungeon for
kissing her cousin, even were he a rebel
officer, as was proven against her, and be-
sides she alleges that, after all, she did not
kiss the rebel officer. 1t was another lady
in her company at the time who committed
the crime. The President was in q con-
tinual roar of laughter during Mrs. Per.
rines recital of the case made out against
her, as viewed by the defendant herself.
The lady is exceedingly vivacious, and
withal clever mimic. There is scarcely
doubt that the President will pardon her.

General Lee.

Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer
I have before spoken of the impertinent
curiosity that has forced itself on General
Lee, and then gone before the country
hawking perverted account of what he
said and how he said it. On this point I
have nothing to say, but some Of them
having several times insisted that General
Lee has been drawing rations from the
United States, I insert the following card,
published in one of the Richmond papers:
I observed few days since in one of our city
journals paragraph taken from Northern
paper, alleging that Gen. Lee and family had
been subsisted by rations drawn from agents
of the United States Government here in
Richmond. As am unwilling that this graf
uitous and impertinent falsehood should be
permitted to 60 forth to the public without
contradiction, beg that you will do me the
favor to state in your paper, upon the author,
ity of an intimate friend who is in daily inter-
course with the family, that the whole story is
entirely and utterly false, neither Gen. Lee nor
his family having ever drawn ration from the
Government since the Federal occupation of
Richmond. r.
And / have no doubt whatever that this
card states the truth.
