LARGE QUANTITY OF TOBACCO
CAPTURED. -...

PHILADELPHIA, March 10.-A special dis

ton to-day, says the Star says on Monday last
thirteen transports with troops from Fortress
Monroe, accompanied by the gunboats Com
modore, Read and Yankee, proceeded up the
Rappahannock on raid, the principal object
being the capture of a quantity Of tobacco
known to have been sent from Richmond to
Fredericksburg to be struggled into our lines.
On its way the expedition proceeded eau
tiously and the gunboats secured the river
thoroughly for torpedoes.
schooner bound up with cargo of whisky
and salt was 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 a squad of rebels, who
however, made no resistance. A body of col
diers and sailors was landed, who succeeded In
capturing the tobacco. It was manufactured
tobacco, amounting to ninety-fve tons and is
estimated to be worth $380,O0O. The country
about Fredericksburg was secured pretty effec-
tually, and during the raid over 400 prisoners
were taken. An extensive contraband trade
has been organized by the rebels on the Kappa.
hammock, and this expedition was designed to
break it up. As the vessels passed down the
river on their return, numbers of deserters
came off from the Shore eight of whom were
from the 24th Virginia Cavalry.

Letter from the Tenth Regiment BE.
low New Orleans.

On BOARD STEAMER CITY OF MEMPHIS,
Four MILES BELOW N. o., Feb. %.
To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
The next time you will hear from your cor
respondent his letter will be from near Mobile.
This is merely prediction. Our Regiment
disembarked at Vicksburg, and went into
camp about four miles north of the city, where
we remained for four days and again embarked
on the same boat ON the 10Th inst. About
four o'clock on the morning of the goth the
feet (Gen. Smiths command) started. During
the trip the wind has been rather high, rend-
ering navigation little more difficult than
usual.
The men are all In good health and spirits,
and enjoy the scenery along the banks of the
Mississippi hugely. Very few of the men now
with the 10th are unwell, and none are unable
to march Indeed, we are trimmed down by
what is known as the Raiding Stick the
Regiment only number $50. At Vicksburg
one man of Company Henderson, died very
suddenly of chronic diarrhea
Capt. Sanders of Company still commands
the Regiment-Lieut. Col. johnson being in
command of the Brigade. First Assistant Sur
geon Milligan is the only one with the Regi-
ment-Sugeon Sheardown being absent at
home, and Second Assistant Brooks being on
duty with the Pioneer Corps of the Division.
Surgeon Milligan is fast becoming favorite
among the medical men of the army, and is well
liked by the men of the Regiment.
Capt. NJ. j. O'Connor, of Company K, joined
the Regiment at Vicksburg. The captain looks
well, and says he feels entirely recovered from
his late illness.
We receive but very little mail nowadays,
and if we keep travelling as we have been for
three weeks, we shall not probably get many
letters till We get out of the service. I would
recommend friends at home to direct letters
thus: 10th MINI. Vols, LIST brigade, LIST divis-
ion, Gen. A. j. Smiths command, via Cairo "
If we go around the coast letters may get to
us as quickly via New York, but in any event
via Cairo, H., is the safes! route as far as we
have experienced.
Quite a lively time is being had by the boys
on board catching oranges thrown from the
shore. All around are trees dropping under
them, but az none are allowed of the boat,
they are in demand from pedlars at " three fol
aquarter, sir.' -

Minnesota General Omcers,
From the Mankato Record.

From the Mankato Record
Up to the present time, nine or ten
Minnesotians have been appointed Briga-
der and Major Generals in the volunteer
service, and it is most singular fact that
every one of them resides in the second or
northern district; while not one officer of
either of these ranks has been taken from
the first or southern district. German,
Sibley, Dana, Van Oeve, Andrews, San
born, Miller, Thomas, and Hubbard-all
are from the second district. Why is this?
1t is true threy are all good officers and
merited promotion but have not also
those gallant veterans, Bishop of the Sec
ond and Tourtellotte of the Fourth?
Surely, if military ability and meritorious
deeds were the only qualifications requi-
site, they have as richly deserved promo
ton as either of those who have receivedit.
We believe the fault lies mainly if not
entirely with our congressional represen-
tatives- Immediately representing
the southern district. When an officer
from the northern district arrives at the
position Of colonel and receives honorable
mention from his superiors for meritorious
deeds, the senator and representative from
that district seem to take pride in elevat-
ing him still higher. The colonies from
southern Minnesota have so far failed to
enlist this congressional influence in their
behalf, without which it is almost impos-
sible to securepromotion. They are allow
ed to continue as colonies, until finally.
discouraged by the frequent appointment
of younger and less meritorious officers
over them, they are forced, from feelings
of self-respect, to resign and retire to pri-
vate life. This was the case with the
gallant Col. George, and Tourtellotte and
Bishop are now receiving similar treat.

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
LETTER FROM THE SEVENTH
REGIMENT.
New ORLEANS, La, Feb. "a, 1865.

NEW ORLEANS, La, FeD. "a, 1860.
To The Editor of the Pioneer:
We are always moving. You will see BY the
date above we left our good winter quarters at
Eastport, on the Tennessee River, for the tent
ed field in the rainy, muddy State of Louisiana,
preparatory for movement on the city of Mo-
bile, or wherever else our superiors in rank
think best.
We have our camp on the battle-ground of
Gen. jackson, where he fought the decisive bat
tie of 9Th January, 1912. 1t is one of the most
muddy places you ever saw. 1t is raining as
write, and all over the boys are crying out mo
bottom, flour and quarter twain, etc., us
ing the steamboatmen's phrase.
Our destination has not yet been published,
but Mobile suppose is the place. There VIC
will have some more of that earnest work we
swore to do. 1t Is said to be powerfully forti-
fed; but, alas! it will have to succumb to the
rightful power.
The health of our regiment is very good.
The number of sick on the doctors books is
about twenty. From these you will deduct
two-thirds who are not ailing with anything
beyond cold, and will be s. for duty" in o day
or two.
We are beginning to get under great obiga-
tions to the Sanitary Commission for their
promptness in supplying US with good SAM
tary stores. At Cairo, at Vicksburg and at
New Orleans, we met with these gentlemen,
and as luck runs with No. z, we met old friends
from st. Louis and Paducah at these places,
who, almost as soon as We camped, had po-
tatoes. krou. and dried apples on the ground.
1t is devoured about as quick by us, the quail
ity being the best and quantity small. How
ever, we are satisfied, and thankful for small
favors, when we know there are other quarter
masters than those in the army to look after
our Northern appetites.
forgot to mention above that we arrived
here on the evening of the 21st, being fifteen
days from Passport, Miss, on the steamer
Magenta, the champion of the Mississippi
AS was a witness to nice little race between
this boat and the Atlantic, which boat carries
the flag now, can say she is the champion.
The Atlantic on her upward trip will have to
fork said flag over to the very accommodating
officers of the magnificent Magenta. We beat
her three miles from Morganzia to New Or
leans. When she came up to u.s. full of steam,
the flag was ready to haul up when she passed
by, instead of passing us, she "fell back in
good order" such cheering you never heard
before, as on our boat was the whole of the
(''Excelsiors'O Third Brigade of Smiths COM
mand. The flag was not seen after.
Every now and then we are greeted by our
brass band with some of the tunes they are
perfected in, which shows they are bound to
succeed. l tell YOU this so you will not think
it is DOdsworth's band when we march though
st. Paul next August.
Co. A, Capt Hoag, is now detached and &C
company Gen. Smith as guard.
Col. Marshall is now mOmentarily expected.
Yours, SEVENTH.
