McGllvery, of the brig James Miller,
from Mirsgoane, Hsyti, gives the
details of q battle for possession OF
Mirs 9 ,ane, on March 31st. About
800 rebels engaged the government
troops, who were repulsed with loss
of 72 killed. The rebels used two
field pieces with terrible effect. The
brig Miller harbored 300 women and
children during the engagement and a
native of Miragoane named Bs-
mark remained on board for
fear OF being shot by reb.
els and was brought to Chester.
Captain McGilvery also makes state
ment that the rebel general and the
nucleus of his army were landed by
the steamship Trop,o, belonging to
Warner & Merritt, of this city. The
Trop,c took from Philadelphia l, 200
rifles, 500 sabres, 500 revolvers,
/ 900, 900 cartridges, two field pieoes,
and large number Of tents for the
rebels, which were landed at Mira
goane. The steamer took General

and by Bismark. The latter had
been appointed captain Of the port b.
the insuzrectionists, and incurred
their dlspleasure. Marks Of bullets
were seen In the rigging Of the. james
