stocks held by the State, in order to
facilitate the payment of tho expenses
of the State Government.
Mr.. Bould,n indicated, in some re-
marks, that the action of the House on

THE SOUTH NOT YET CONQUERED.

THE SOUTH NOT YET CONQUERED.
The New York Tribune is not so sure
that the rebellion is put down. It
says:
Of course, We dc not rejoice as over
assured and accomplished triumph. We
know that there remain armies to van
quish and the efforts of desperation to
battle. 1t is possible that the rebel hosts
now mastering for their last onset may
deal us an unexpected and telling blow.
Lee is to march northward into the free
States, says one rumor; he is going
West, to reclaim kentucky and feed on
her undevastated herds and pastures,
says another; he will elude Grant and
fall like thunderbolt on Sherman, says
third. 1t is possible that he may yet
be able to concentrate one hundred
thousand men, two thirds of them vete-
rams and such force, well handled, is
never to be despised.

summary:
The constitutional amendment abolish
ing slavery was adopted by the Louisiana
Legislature on the 14th instant-in the
Senate by vote of eighteen in favor to
only one against it, and in the House of
Representatives unanimously. The
amendment has now been ratified by

Mississippi rebel army still refuses to
cross to the east side of the Mississippi.
On two occasions that attempts have
been made to transfer it, the men have
positively declared that they would not
move, and it is believed that any further
efforts'to induce them to do so would
result in open and general mutiny. All
the Union naval prisoners at Camp Ford,
Texas, had been exchanged, and were
daily expected at New Orleans. Drafting
for the National army commenced in
Louisiana on the 18th instant The

UNITED STATES FLAGSHIP MALvERS,(
CAPE FEAR RIVER, February p, 1865.
Sir: have the honor to inform you
that Wilmington has been evacuated and
is in the possession of cur troops. After
the evacuation of Fort Anderson, |
pushed forward the gunhoats up as far
as the water would permit. The army
pushed up at the same time on the right
and left banks Of the river. After sound
ing and buoying out the middle ground
at Big island, | succeeded in getting the,
gunboats over, and opened fire on Fort
Strong, the work commanding the prin-
cipal instructions, where the rebels had
also sunk a large steamer, the North
Eastern. Our fire soon drove the rebels
away from the fort. Now and then thew
would fire shot, one of-which struck
the Sassacus below water-mark, and set
her leaking badly. She was struck once
or twice more, but met with no loss of
men. That night (the 2Oth) the rebels
sent down two hundred floating torpe-
does, but l had strong force Of picket
boats out, and the torpedocs were sunk
with musketry. One got in the wheel
Of the Osceola, and blew her wheel-housc
to pieces, and knocked down her bulk
head n-board, and there was no damage
to the hull. Some of the vessels nick cd
up the torpedoes with their torpedo nets.
The next morning l spread two fishing
nets across the river. Yesterday eve
ming, General Ames, with his division,
moved within short distance Of the
fort, and had sharp encounter with the
rebels. On hearing the musketry and
seeing where our troops were, Iopened a
rapid fire on the fort and all along the
enemy's line. The fort responded with
three or four shots, but was soon 81
fenced. This morning we heard that

and that he had been, and was at the
time OF the murder, acting IN good
faith with them against the guerrillas.
The witnesses for the prosecution
were so positive in their statements
as to his identity, that the Consmis-
sion found him guilty on all the
charges and specification. He was
sentenced to be hung, by the approval
of the General commanding, June 13,
1865. Barkley and Watts we're his
attorneys. They believed their client
innocent from the FIRST. and they
fought the case with perfect despera-
ton. They made two trips to the
scene of the murder, endeavoring to
develope the truth in the case-and
succeeded. Three different respites
were granted, and finally, upon the
evidence of more than forty witnesses,
proving beyond question that Stewart
was not only not guilty as charged,
but perfectly innocent. He was on
yesterday, after a short confinement
the greater part of the time in shac-
kles--of nearly eight months, par
doned and released.
