Henry S. Footc, formerly L, s. Sena
tor, Blu. latterly held the same position il
the rebel Senate, became disgusted with
the despotism Of JETS administration
spoke his mind 10 reference thereto, il
his usual fiery way, shook the dust OF
the Southern Confederacy of his old
boots at the gates Of the city OF Rich
mond, and started north, with his wife,
to ge. under the protecting folds Of the
! Star Spangled Banner Of the free. But
JEFF. was opposed to this sudden depart
ure Of one Of his most fiery supporters Of
rebellion and sent cavalry to bring him
back. He was overtaken at Occoquon,
fifteen miles southwest of Alexandra, BY
two rebel cavalrymen, and taken back
towards Richmond The military autho.
rites of Alexandria sent to Occoquon,
rescued Mrs Foote and brought her to
that place. Fears are entertained that
! jeff Davis win deal harshIy with Foote,
and it is SAID that if his life is is taken
our Government will take the life of the
highest rebel official in our possession
d.
thing; Foote is none the better for being
the first rat to leave tho sinking craft,
secession.
During the night Of the 4th inst. two
horse thieves went into the barn of Mayor
Strong, at Beloit, Wis, and stole span
of horses, cutter, harness, blankets, bells
and saddle, and passed through an alley
ten feet wide, right by the bedroom
window Of the mayor without disturbing
any one, and have not since been heard Of.
The Ansert'caa's Beaufort cores pond
ent Of the 9th says nine deserters came
off from Fort Fisher four days since, and
were picked up by one of the bIockadiDg
vessels. They report that the fort was
about surrendering on the 25th, when
they were surprised to learn that our
troops were being withdrawn from the
shore. They represent the garrison as
greatly demoralized, The quarters were
all destroyed and the troops poorly sup
piled with provisions. A rebel prisoner
states that eight guns were disabled in
the fort, and that the severe Smelling
drove the men to the classmates, where
they fully expected an assault, and could
have made but little resistance.
/! turns out that the missions Of Gen
Singleton and Mr.. Blair to Richmond
are entirely on private account, neither
of them being authorized to say anything
for Mr.. Lincoln to Jeff. Davis or to any
body else.
brought out In regard to the failure Of
the attempt to take Fort Fisher, by the
removal Of Gen. Butler from the COM
mand Of the Army Of the james, that
it was not contemplated that Gen. Butler
should accompany the expedition, Major
General Weitzel being specially named
as commander, and that the withdrawal
Of the troops after they found an assault
was impracticablo, was in violation cf or,
ders, the order being to remain and en-
trench. Under these circumstances there
appears to be little room for establishment
that Gen Butler was removed.

Dates from Mexico Of the 28th ult,
show that the Republican troops are still
giving the Imperialists plenty to DC. BE.
tween four and five thousand of the EN-
peror's soldiers were defeated by the
Republicans at Eta. The reported
defeat Of the Republicans under Ortega
is unfounded Throughout all Southern
Mexico the supporters Of Juarez are
very active. In one town, the Imperial
garrison had revoltcd, put the Project to
death, and joined the Republicans.
