Monday last, thirteen transports, with troops
from Fortress Monroe, accompanied by the
gunboats Commodore Read and Yankee, pro-
ceeded up the Rappahannock on a raid the
principal object being the capture of large
quantity of tobacco known to have been
sent from Richmond to Fredericksburg, to be
smuggled into our lines.
Son its way the Expedition proceeded
cautiously, and the gunhoats secured the RI
yer thoroughly for torpedoes, A schooner,
bound up with a cargo Of whiskey and salt,
was first captured by the Read and the crew
and cargo removed and the schooner blown
up. On arriving at fredericksburg, it was
found to be garrisoned by squad of rebels,
who however made no resistance A body OF
sailors and troops were landed, who succeed
ed in capturing the tobacco. 1t was manu-
factured tobacco, amounting to ninetv-five
tons, and is estimated to be worth $3.50. 900.

cles IN the dioramas of human life. We

articles undressed half dozen evenings in

BATTLE AT KINSTON, N. &.
Our Entire Loss is 2 900, Princip ally I'm
Prisoners. a4s-E

NEY,. York, March 14-The HerGtG'S
correspondent from the front of Kingston,
n, c., dated the 18th, gives the following
account of the fighting there on Wednesday
the Sth:
The enemy consisting of Hokes division
made determined effort to to turn our left |
flank. They came up rather unexpectedly |
and furiously, and the consequence was, the
loss on our part of a large portion of twol
regiments who were hanked by superior
numbers. The left of the line held by the
second division, Gen. Carter, fought desper-
afely, resorting to the bayonet when their
ammunition was exhausted.
To compensate for the losses here, Col.
Savage, of the 18th NY. cavalry, made a
detour on the rear and captured nearly one
hundred prisoners. The same afternoon an
attack was made on our right and repulsed
without loss. Gen. Scoheld came up in the
afternoon and assumed command Night
coming on, action ceased. Capt. Fisk of the
18th NY. cavalry, lost two small Howitz-
ers and Captain Kelly, of the artillery, had
lost Napoleon gun. We had taken per-
haps 200 prisoners during the day.
On Thursday morning the 9th inst, Nal
10y fully regained his origional psition, aud
con tinued to hold it. The enemy charged
upon him three times in the possession, and
were each time easily repulsed with some
loss of life and a small loss of prisoners to
them.
The loren oon was mostly occupied with
light skirnishing along the whole line. We
still hold our original line, ample breast
works having been erected, andstout hearts
occupying both them and the skirmish pits,
All through the evening of the 8th, and
night and morning of the 9th and 10th, the
rebel fury again belched forth. They had
evidently learned of something that urged
them to unusual desperation and we after
wards learned that it must have been the
reception of the intelligence by them that
Couch was coming up overland to join Cox.
This of course, necessitated a furious and
speedy onset upon Cox, in order to annihi-
late him before Couch should come up. .ls5
All night long they charged again and
again, making six or seven different charges
amid the roar Of musketry and cannon
that was deafning and terrible, as it swept
and surged through the night air.
They had driven back our skirmish line
from their rifle. pits to the breastworks, and
they seemed determined to pour their hordes
over into them: but the wave was sent
bounding back, and finally on the morning
Of the 18th, as they attempted another flank
movement on our left it is said that we took
from them an entire regiment of Alabami
ans. From this time their fighting begar
to diminish, and yesterday, p. H., when
left, the immediate scene of action, there
was every prospect that we should soon re
gain the skirrnish pits, and win handsome
victory over the maddened foe. We have
probably, taken, from the commencement
up to the last evening, not far from 1000
Our entire loss, from the commencement, il

The News.

The war news from every quarter contin-
ues to be of the most cheering character.
We publish Gen. Sheridan's official account
of hsi doings, as far as the James River.
There are reports that seem to be reliable,
that he has since captured Lynchburg after
severe fight, and that he has cut the Dan
Vile Railroad.
We have direct news of Sherman. In
dispatch to the War Department. He an
nounced himself on the 9Th at Laurel Hill
North Carolina, with the pleasant words
'All is WELL" and that. they have done fine
ly." Laurel Hill is about one hundred
miios from Wilmington, i'll northwest di-
rection, about thirty miles from the South
Carolina line, and about fifty miles from Fay
etteville, which seems to be his next objec-
tive point.
We publish full account of the fight
near Kingston, N. c., between our forces
under Gen Schofield and rebels under Bragg
in which we lost quite heavily in prisoners
at first, but subsequently achieved deci-
sive victory.
The question of our State currency con-
tinues to be agitated, though the ex-
element is somewhat subsiding under the
vigorous measures promised by our Legis-
lature to sustain the credit of our State
Banks A bill was introduced in the SEN
ate on Wednesday last, to protect the cred
it of the bonds and currency of Wisconsin
by requiring the reception of notes Of State
Banks doing business, except those CONVEX
ted into national banking associations, for
taxes and other dues to the State, counties,
cities towns, and villages, at par; requiring
redemption, at their face, of their former
issues, by the banks changed to national
banking associations, within thirty days or,
in default thereof payment Of five per cent
a month on all outstanding circulation ;
levyiDg an annual State tax of $3.50,
900, as a sinking fund for the payment Of
the State bonds on deposit by State Banks
with the Bank Comptroller; and prohibiting
the State Banks from paying out National
Bank currency or notes of any Banks not
redeemed in lawful money Of the United

yet Mr. Speer can look with satisfaction on
the years so spent, when he is conscious that

E8- The Senate bill to increase the rates
Of legal advertising passed the Senate last
week, but we have not noticed that the
Assembly has yet taken any action upon it.
This is one of those measures of self evident
justice, that we should suppose would not
need half an hours consideration, but it has
to take the usual course. In the Senate it
was postponed from week to week-referred
| to this and that committee and finally
passed, increasing the rates from so cents
per folio for the first insertion and 25 cts.
for each subsequent insertion, to so cents
for first insertion aud IS for subsequent in
| sertions.
Since the Legislature takes it upon itself
to regulate the printer pay, it ought in
all conscience to make il sufficient to keep
him from starving. This sort of iron bed
stead arrangement is not only exceedingly
unpleasant but it is embarrassing The
price that was barely sufficient to pay cost,
before the rebellion, for the past twoor three
years when every thing we eat, drink or
wear-everything we use in a printing office
costs just about three times as much as they
did-has been a very inadequate compensa-
ton, to say the least.
Since our Legislators have taken the mat
ter in hand to dole out little tardy JUS
tice, we should like to see it come spopta-
neously and at once, instead of this three
months wringing and twisting as if all the
eye teeth in the Legislature were being ex-
tracted. We don't complain of the stereo-
type resolution that comes up every week
or two and passes so glibly-to order to the
members and officers of the Legislature SIC
in postage stamps and SO in stationery, be-
cause we think they ought to have more
pay, but we should like to see little more
willingness to do justice to others as WELL

has been retired, up to day, of the circula-

some instances have withdrawn none. Thus

1t is doubtless true that however good our
State bonds may be, if they were forced to
sale IN Wall street, they would not sell at
par But no such exigency will arise. The
State has the power and the disposition to
take care of its bonds. The Legislature has
promptly responded to the action of the banks
by the passage Of joint resolution declaring
that In any event the bonds shall be kept
good, even if to accomplish it a tax must be
levied sufficient to take them I'D by the
State. Ibis, however, will not probably be
necessary. liz addition to the insurance
bill, several other projects are preached for
the purpose of keeping the State bonds at
parsnch as exempting them from taxation,
or paying half the interest on them in
coin.
The School and Swamp Land Commission.
sleners have also sent in communication to
the Legislature, expressing their perfect
condolences in the State currency, and de-
claring that without express directions to the
contrary, they shall continue to receive the
bills OF all Wisconsin banks, not in process
