The Delta of the Mississippi.
It is doubtful whether we ever had to notice
a more important work than the magnificent
volume bearing the imprint of J. 13. Lippincott
Co., as publishers, and entitled. as Report
upon the Physics and Hydraulics of the Mis
sissippi River; upon the Protection of the Al
luvial Region against Overflow ; and upon the
Deepening of the Mouths." This Report, oc
eup3 lug 626 pages, quarto, is a National work,
prepared by Captain A. A. Humphreys and
Lieut. H. L. Abbott, Corps of Topographical
Engineers, 'United States Army, and has been
submitted to the Bureau of that department.
It is based upon Surveys and Investigations
made under the Acts of Congress directing the
topographical ard hydrographical survey of
the delta of the Mississippi River, with such
investigations as might lead to determine the
most pi acticable plan for securing it froni In
undation, and the best mode of deepening the
Channels at the mouths of the River. The
Report is published by authority of the War
Department
What is called the Mississippi Delta Survey,
which included such investiga , ions as might
lead to the most practical plan for securing
the delta from inundation, was organized in
N ovember, 1860, and consisted of Lieutenant
Colonel S. H. Long and Captain A. A.
Humphreys, both of the Topographical Engi
neers, United States army. These gentlemen
were directed to examine the river, to examine
and decide upon the character and extent of
the surveys required, it being further ordered
thut them, gentlemen having performed their
allotted task and made a report, Captain
Humphreys should take direction of the work.
The preliminary report was made from Napo-
leen, Arkansas, in December, 1850. In the
Allowing elating, the field of survey and in
vestigation by measurement, was extended
from the head of the alluvial region at Cape
Girardeau to the Gulf of Mexico. Subse
quently, it was directed that the investigations
should include within their scope the best
mode of deepening the channels at the mouths
of the river.
Three parties were arranged to determine
the topography, hydrography, and hydrometry
of uhe delta, or alluvial region of the river—
well called " the Father of Waters," from the
number of tributaries it absorbs, the volume
of water of which it consists, and the unex
ampled length of its course, extending, if the
Missouri above the junction be included, to
the enormous stretch of nearly 4,500 miles.
The topographical party was in charge of
Mr. James li. Ford. The hydrographical
party was in charge of Mr. James
The hydrometrical party was in charge of Pro-
fessor C. G. Forshey. Competent assistants
were associated with each of these gentlemen.
In connection with the survey was a close ex-
arnbuttion, by Captain Humphreys, of the delta
rivers of Europe, to ascertain what the expe-
rience of many centuries had really proved as
to the ultimwe as well as immediate effects
of the different methods of protection against
inundation.
The Report, comprised in the massive
volume under notice, contains the results of
the obseiTations made by each department of
the Survey, illustrated by a series of en-
gravings, some of them of large size, executed,
With great exactness and skill, by Mr. Duval,
the well-known lithographer of Philadelphia.
The Report has been prepared by Captain
Humphreys and by Lieutenant Abbott—the
last named having had eharge.of,,the.„sunme
former. We refer the curious reader to the
Report itself for particulars, but shall here
generally state the leading result of the united
labors of
,ablOrien of science, necessarily ex
tended over a period of several years. In
this we shall use, as far as convenient, the
very words of Captain Humphreys' introduc
tory letter.
When the Survey was commenced the
science of river hydraulics was in a very im
purl ect state. Besides solving the problem
of the protection of the alluvial region of the
Mississippi against inundation, independent of
the laws and formula of the books, it was
purposed also to all'ord the means of' deter
milling, by experiments on a far more ex
tended scale than ever before attempted, the
laws governing the flow of water in natural
channels, and of expressing them in formulas
that could be safely and readily used in prac
tical applications. This has been accomplished.
Laws have been revealed that were before un
known ; new formula; have been prepared, pos
sessing far greater precision than the old, and
improved methods of gauging streams have
been devised.
There was almost utter ignorance prior to
this Survey, of the most essential facts upon
which protection against inundation depends.
Fur example, it had always been taken for
granted that the Mississippi flowed through a
channel excavated in the alluvial soil formed
by the deposit of its own sedimentary matter.
Means were taken to ascertain the depth of the
alluvial soil from Cape Girardeau to the gulf.
The result proved that the bed of the Missis
sippi is not funned in alluvial soil, but in a
stiff tenacious clay of an older geological
formation than the alluvion, and that the
sides of the channels do not consist of ho
mogeneous material ; facts that have an im
portant bearing upon all plans of protection.
The effects of the levees of Louisiana were
not understood. On one side it was contended
that they lowered the floods, by deepening the
bed and reducing the slope of the river; on
the other, on the experience of many centu-
ries on the Po, that the levees had raised the
bed and floods of that river to such an ex
tent, indeed, that it was impracticable any
longer to protect the country, except by open
ing new channels to the sea. The investiga-
tions of the Delta Survey have ascertained the
true solution of this difficult question, and
also that cut-offs raise the floods below them.
The effects of outlets had not been investi
gated; The Delta Survey ascertained that,
in the few localities where they are practi
cable, outlets may be made to reduce the
floods to any desired extent in certain por
tions of the river, but that they would not be
unexpensive, and. would entail dangers and
disasters Which should not be risked.
Every important fact connected with the
various physical conditions of the river and
the laws uniting them being ascertained by the
Delta Survey, the great problem of protection
against inundation is solved. "At the mouths
of the river," Captain Humphreys says, zc a
similar course has resulted in the developement
of the law under which the bars are formed,
the depth upon them maintained, and the re
gular advance into the gulf continued; and, as
a consequence, the principles upon which
plans for deepening the channels over them
should be based, and the best mode of apply
ing them. The rate at which the river pro
gresses into the gulf, and the extent, thickness,
and relative level of the alluvial formation
having been ascertained, its probable age has
been estimated ; and the ancient form of the
coast, and the changes that have taken place
in the present geological age, have been sur
mised." For the particulars of these deductions
and the ascertained facts we refer to the Re
port itself.
One word as to the manner in which this Re
port has been mechanically got up. We have
already praised the lithographed illustrations.
The typography of the book, with admirable
uniformity in the color of the ink, upon laid
sized paper, is actually beautiful, and most
creditable to Lippincott and Co., who print as
well as publish books.
.
A REPORT is current in military circles t hat
in consequence of the new infantry regiments filling
up eo very slowly, they will be consolidated, and
sent off to the war. Should this be the case, it is
very probable that about 300 of the newly-appoint
ed officell will be mustered out of the service. Thu
date of the organization of these new regiments' is
14th May, 1801 ; nearly eight months and a half
ago.

selves in readiness to march at a moment's warning.
The order was received with exclamations of joy,
and till tt taps" last night the camps resounded
with the busy hum of preparation. It was a pretty
sight—the camp-fires all gleaming brightly in the
derse darkness of a cloudy night.
This morning the busy hum is renewed. The
order looking to an onward movement was issued,
it is believed, to place this column in readiness to
marsh to the loft and intercept reinforcements from
Beveling Green to Zollicoffer. Tho glorious news of
the detest of Zollicoffer's entire force has, of course,
rendered this movement unnecessary, and we may
yet tarry here these many days.
What Hindman Proposes to Do.
An intelligent slave, whose master lives in the
region of Dell's tavern, came into. our lines this
morning. He left his master's roof last night at
inidnight. His statements are vouched fox by a
prominent official in this army, whose slave he used
to be. The darkey says he overheard a conversa
tion between his master and mistress, last night, to
the effect that General Hindman was to-day to take
his entire force b,,ek to Bowling Green. ills master
had decided to remove his slaves beyond Nash
ville. and, learning this, the darkey cut stakes for
the Federal camp.
Boa ling Green to Fall Without a Fight.
The opinion seems to be daily gaining ground, in
quarters where opinions aro weighty, that Bowling
Green is to fall into our hands without the striking
of a blow. It is known that there is tnyery influen
tial party in the south who oppose the idea of their
army making any stand in Kentucky, and have
continued to discourage it. Hitherto this counsel
has been unheeded. The recent defeats of Mar
shall and Zollicoffer will, it is thought, cause their
views at last to prevail. It is more than likely that
another cause, still more forcible—the fear of being
surrounded—will lead them to surrender Bowling
Green to us without a contest, if surrender it they
ever do.
Matters at Bowling Green.

At Bowling Green they have a few pieces of navy

artillerists, the other day, wishing to try one of them
at an object, used the residence of Jadge Under
wood as a target. No thanks to them, but rather
to the indifferent quality of the gun, or the inaccu
racy of the gunner, the house was not hit—distance

The great Floyd—" one of the most amiable and

Captain Grider. When Mr. Gri•ier was forced to
leave home, he left his dwelling in the ears of his
aged mother, a lady between seVenty-ftve and
eighty years of age. One would suppose this case,
at least, would have been made an exception among
savages; but our Southern brethren are not weak-
Minded. like savages. The lady of Mr. Barker,
(who is himself a refugee,) was forced to leave her
house, in Bowling Green, and rent one in the
country. Here she expected to be unmolested.
But the " conservatives" followed, and drove her
from this also.
The rebel authorities are gathering up all the
Slaves of the loyal men they can find, confining
them in jail or sending them farther Smith. Ono
loyal gentleman was moved to tears, when he in
formed me that they had imprisoned and maltreated
a faithful old slave of his to such a degree that he
died. The old negro's wife, who had been super
annuated by her kind master, and even furnished
with &servant to attend her iu her declining years,
was impressed as a washerwoman for the hospitals.
Some days since the rebels gave out that they ex
pected an attack at Bowling Green, and advised
the citizens to leave; but Unionists, suspecting it
' was only a trick to get the balance of them out and
• occupy their houses, treated the alarm with indif
ference, and remained. Once out. they would never
be suffered to' return. The two bridges over 134r
ren river, that of the railroad and that of the turn
pike, have been mined and prepared for blowing
up. It is said that the powder has been deposited
for two months.

After Colonel Fry's horse was shot and disabled,

the Union people creep out of their holes and hiding

are eager to receive arms, and to be marched
against those who have so long terrorized their
homes. As plenty of muskets were found in the
deserted camp of the rebels, we presume their
wishes will be gratified. Ono man, residing on the
Cumberland, had been robbed of six hundred
bushels of corn, and ho is willing to give the

AFFAIRS IN EASTERN KENTUCKY.
The /riots of Garfield's Victory.
The following proclamation has been issued in
Eastern Kentucky :
HEADQUARTERS 18TH BRIGADE ,
PAINTSVILLE, Ky., Jan. 16,"1802. .
CITIZENS OF THE SANDY VALLEY: I have come
among you to restore the honor of the Union, and
to bring back the Old Banner, which you all once
loved, but which, by the machinations of evil men,
and by. mutual misunderstandings, has been dis
honored among you. To those who are in arms
against the Federal Government, I offer only the
alternative of battle, or unconditional surrender.
But to those who have taken no part in this war,
who are in no way aiding or abetting the enemies
of the Union—even to those who hold sentiments
averse to the Union, but yet give no aid and com
fort to its enemies—l offer the full protection of
the Government, both in their persons and pro
perty.
Let those who have been seduced away from the
love of their country, to follow after and aid the
destroyers of our peace, lay down their arms, re
turn to their homes, bear true allegiance to the
Federal Government, and they shall also enjoy like
protection. The army of the Union wages no war
" NOTICE
of plunder, but comes to bring back tho prosperity
of peace. Lot all peace-loving citizens who have
fled from their homes return and resume again the
pursuits of peace and industry. If citizens have
suffered from any outrages by the soldiers under
rnq ooinrnand, I invite them to make known their
complaints to me, and their wrongs shall be re
dressed and the offenders punished. I expect the
friends of the Union in this valley to banish from
among them all private feuds, and let a liberal
minded love of country direct their conduct towards
those who have been so sadly estranged and mis
guided. Roping that these days of turbulence may
soon be ended, and the better days of the Republic
soon return. J. A. GARFIELD,
Col. Commanding Brigade.
A correspondent of the Cleveland (Ohio) Herald,
writing from Col. Garfield's command, says :
The above proclamation was issued by Colonel
Garfield, just after his brilliant victory over the re
bel forces under Humphrey Marshall, on the 10th
of January, at the forks of Middle creek, Eloyd
county, Ky. Our army. the day after the battle
and retreat of the enemy, occupied Prestonburg,
two miles from the battle ground, to recruit our
wearied men, and take possession of sumo stores
left there by the rebels. The night before the bat
tle the enemy had engaged in hauling away their
stores to their camp, two miles distant. Our night
march had cut them off suddenly from Prestonburg
—coming in between them and their remaining
stores. We got some twenty boxes of shoes and
knapsacke, twenty-five guns, itc Those we found
lying on tho bank of the river—some of them ly
ing in the water, evidently thrown there in haste,
expecting that they would go down the river from
the "Lincolnitee," . as they call us here! Colonel
Garfield's victory grows in magnitude upon our
hands, now that the kniolce has cleared away.
Tbe report first sent you, made the number of
the killed come 00 or 0(1: But subsequent exami
nations on the field, and the ritheiAkas of the rebel
officersonake their killed 125, and as many more
wounded ! We found 27 lefton the field unburied,
among whom was ono field officer and two captains
laid under a shelving rock, covered with leaves.
Sixty more they had thrown hastily into a deep re
vine on their.side of the hill, and covered them
with leaveS and brush ! Three wagons, loaded
with the dead, were drawn off during the battle !
Three of their wounded died before they had got a
mile from the field of battle. The rebel Colonel
Trigg, told the family where they leftthe two dead
above mentioned on their retreat, that they had
lost 125 killed and a large number wounded, and
that they thought they had killed 600 Federals.
Now, the facts are these, as regards our toss:
We lost only one man on the field of battle—one
brave Kentuckian fell after he bad sent two rebels
to their final account. We had fourteen wounded,
two of whom have since died ; the rest are doing
well, and most of them but slightly wounded.
This is to us perfectly marvellous, but we have
established one fact, viz—that a good oak tree is
better to fight behind than a rock. The rebels got
&hind rocks, and Whet, they fired at our men they
bad to expose their heads and necks, hence the
fact that all their dead left on the field were hit in
the bead, neck, and upper part of the chest. Our
men stood erect behind the large trees, and exposed
themselves but very little either in loading or
firing Major Pardee and Colonel Crane were with
the men on the hills and told them not to shoot a
gun unless they could see an enemy, and to take
lair aim. The boys, after a few shots, wore as
calm as if they bad been shooting at a target.
They often talked to each other in this wise
"Now, Jim, do you see that rebel's head above
that rock ?" " Yes." " Will you try him while I
sin loading, and if you miss him I will give him a
trial." 111113 the battle on our side was conducted
for five hours. There was bus one of our men tut
as high up on the body as the cartridge belt. He
was bit is the neck and since died.
We all think our youthful commander is brave
ead competent, and has well sustained himself and
the confidence reposed in him by his country.
Old General Marshall said to Union friends on

outwitted and outgeneraled him, and there was no
use in denying it, and that he was compelled to re

of his despatches, and he knows all about the roads,
bills, streams, fortifications, rifle-pits, number of
my guns, their size, &c., and has them all mapped
off better than we have them in our own camp I
and how the contbunded Yankee got the fasts

This was all literally true. Colonel Garfield is a
bard worker, a close observer, and spends much
time, when others are asleep, over his maps.
We aro now in Paintsvilie, a few miles below the
battle-ground Here we have our stores. Mur

SIGNAL.
Movements of the Rebel Priep
ICorreaporiderice of tho Chicago Joiaruall
RoLLA, Mo , January 20, 1862
Things at Rolla begin to look like war, decidedly.
About 6,000 troops have moved front that post, be
side the 3,000 eayslry that had previously gone,
and several more regiments have had orders to be
ready, so as to march at a very early day, probably
next week at the furthest. Among those who will
go, the Thirteenth Illinois and Fourth lowa will
have a prominent place; and to the Thirteenth ii
Illinois rough campaigning will not be news, for
they have already had some little experience, but
are not as well pleased to go that way again, for
they somehow had strong hopes of being or
dered to service down the river, as that looked more
like coming directly at the enemy, and striking
more directly at the heart of rebellion. But
perhaps its much real progiess will be made by
striking a telling blow here in Missouri as would be
the case if we went to Kentucky, and we will not
seem to doubt the strength of their army by hinting
that they have any need of our help.
We have heard from Price's army almost every
day from gentlemen well known here in Rolla, who
have been living in Springfield until now. Yester
day a sergf:ent of the regular army, and who has
remained in Springfield, having been wounded at
the battle of Wil!on's creek, came to our office and
told us many things of interest about Price and his
arrangements; and today another, whose name I
do not feel at liberty to use, gave much more valu
able information. These last accounts agree that
Price bas a very considerable effective force, and
that he fully intends to give us battle this time, and
has even chosen his ground about seven or eight
miles on this side of Springfield. The ground is
well covered with bushes and woods. Ho is said
now to have an effective three of 20,000 to 25,000,
with plenty of artillery and some excellent gun
ners. It all this is true. he must have produced a
very powerful effect by his late speeches. He has
lately been stumping the vicinity of Springfield for
the purpose of raising recruits; and it is stated by
Men who have heard him, that he appealed to the
audience with tears to take up arms to save Mis
souri ; that if he was obliged to leave the State now
it would be given up to Black Republican rule, for
he would never come back to try and save it. But
I cannot credit the story that Price has over half
the effective force that these last statements figure
up, or that he intends to give battle at all. uuless
he can, as usual, be sure of a great advantage.
Great numbers of the inhabitants of Southern and
Southweetern Missouri are coming to Rolla to get
salt to use in salting their meat, and as the rebels
are mixed up with them all through it is very un' -
ortant to keep it out of their hands, and as they
have no source from which to draw it honestly they
will take every means to get hold of the salt. Now,
this kind of game is not well thought of here; we
are willing to pepper them, but not to salt them.
This makes it necessary for the provost marshal to
be very strict, and nobody gets any salt except on
an order from him.
A German, by the name of Martin Schnieder,
came to the marshal's office last Tuesday, and stated
that on the previous Sunday (12th) seven rebels,
four of them having guns, came to his house, two
and a half miles front Lane's Prairie, and ordered
him to give up his gun and ammunition, but he
told them that be would not, and seized it, it being
loaded with twelve buckshot, in each barrel, and a
double-barrelled one. They swore that they would
have it, and were proceeding to use force, when
they were warned that to proceed would be danger
ous, but not heeding the decided threat of the
Dufelbumn, the foremost man ieeeiVed the .twelve
buckehot in the breast, and fell dead on the floor.
Another then cocked his gun to shoot, when he re
ceived the other twelve buck shot in the side of his
neck, effectually dissolving his immediate connec
tion with the Southern Confederacy, until they all
meet at their general rendezvous. At this derided
demonstration the remaining four chivalrous South
ern gentlemen took to their heels, and that was the
last that was seen of them in that locality. Leaving
the bodies lying on the floor, and his wife and
children in the house, be came off post-haste to
Rolla, to report himself, and see if he had done
right. On being /inured that he had done right, he
appeared well satisfied, and said he would go back
and serve some more the same way. Ile said he
would never bury them, but would fasten a chain
around their necks and haul them off, and Tot the
hogs eat them up. Thin is about the way they
operate. going about and demanding Union men's
arms, and if they can frighten them xt goes off very
well, but let a gritty Union man, or a spunky
Dutchman look them in the face, and they will
skedaddle long before the first edition is exhausted.
NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.
The Defeat in Kentucky Admitted—The -
Burnside Expedition.
BALTIVORR, Jan. 27.—The Richmond Dispatch
of Friday says that the rebels axe much perplexed
at the defeat in Kettucky.
The Dispatch says : "We regret to state that
the report of the Federal victory in Kentucky, Cori
veyed to us on Wednesday night from Northern
sources, is more than confirmed by intelligence
received at the War Department.
"It appears that our defeat was more decisive
than even the Northern accounts had• led us to be
lieve. The editor says that this disaster in Eastern.
Kentucky, and the apprehension it has excited fur
the safety of our connection with the Southwest,
through Virginia and Tennessee, and the East
Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, and the possible
interruption of our intercourse with the South
Virginia, Wilmington, and Weldon Railroad by
the Burnside expedition, directs attention to the• •
vital importance of completing the ooniseetion be
tween the Richmond,Denville, and North Carolina
Railroads."
AUGUSTA, Ga., Jan. 23.—A private letter re- '
ceived from Charleston, this. morning, says five
stone vessels were seek in the channel yesterday.
LThe Savannah Republican, of this morning, says •

Broad river is incorrect.
The Richmond Dispatch contains a telegram

copy of which had been received there, contains a
statement that a report had reached Baltimore of
the lees of five of the Burnside fleet in Pamlteo
Sound, and thee a large steamer (probably the
Lowtszesta)bad been burnt. Thus it would seem
that this report had no other foundation than this

An interesting private letter. from an intelligent
subject of Ring Jeff Davis states that a groat Union
reaction is quietly at work all over Seeessia, and
that the "awful war prices" of everything down

from the South, escaping across the Potomac , near
Port Tobacco, which is in one of the lower counties
of this State. lle was in Richmond on the 19th,
and represents affairs in that city as in a miserable
condition. The soldiers rove about that city cow
matting depredations of all kinds against the oiti
tens and their property, becoming intoxicated and
doing as they feel disposed. Ile states that a deep
gloom hung over that city when the announcement
was made public of the death of ex-President
Tyler. Flags hung throughout the city at half
mast, and many public buildings, as well as pri.
rare ones, were draped in mourning. In fact,
gloom and despondency encircled that doomed eity.

had been granted. Magruder was intoxicated
nearly eli the time, and the men under him com
plain bitterly of their treatment. My informant
states that a few weeks since he saw General
Magruder review his command, and the men made
a handsome appearance and seemed very proficient
in drill. Ile spoke to theca on that occasion, as
suring them that they should soon meet the
Yankees, and have occasion to achieve a brilliant

promise had not been fulfilled.
Much tear and discontent existed throughout the
South, in view of an anticipated attack by the
Burnside expedition. Its destination was unknown,
but many surmises were expressed, most of thorn
taking for granted that Newbern, N C., was the
locality. Two regiments, which were withdrawn
from the army of the Potomac, had been sent to the
North Carolinaeoast, and passed through Richmond
en last Sunday, the 11th, for that point. Newham
bad been tortified, presenting, as was represented
in Richmond, a formidable appearance, and was
garrisoned by about two thousand troops, and was
believed to be strong enough to oppose the expedi
tion. Great excitement prevailed throughout the
Old North State, the rebels being low-spirited and.
dejected at affairs as they presented themselyes,
and those who were suspected of loyalty to the
Union Government were elated at the prospect of a
speedy release from tyranny and oppression. Many
union men still remain in that State, although they
are quiet, and, when occasion offers, they will, as
informant SayS, fight gallantly for the Union,
The British steamship Gladiator, from a Cuban
pert, had arrived in a Floridian port, bringing a
cargo valued, as was estimated, at two millions of
dollars. She brought many valuable kinds of modi
eines, which were needed in the South, as well as
a large quantity of cannon, timid improved firearms.
filer arrival was bailed with joy, and heralded
throughout the South as another proof of the in
efficiency of the blocleade.
Several incendiary fires bad occurred in Rich
mond and Norfolk, which were attributed to Yankee
Spies; and, again, many believed and said they
were produced by the slaves, many of whom, it
was whispered, desired the success of the Union
forces. Norfolk was being put in a high state of
defence, for an attack in any quarter. Guns con
tinued to be mounted, blocks being used for that
purpose. General Huger still maintained com
mand in Norfolk, and was using every exertion
to render that city able to hold out against any
number of men which might bo brought against it.
The people seemed to place confidence in him,
knowing, as they said, his ability as an officer and
soldier. Ile was very popular.
General Beauregard and Ben MeCulloch were in
Richmond on Sunday. It was rumored that Mc-
Culloch was to be court-martialed, at the instance
of General Price, for going into winter quarters in
Arkansas, and refusing to reinforce him on the eve
of a battle in Missouri.
There have been many deaths in the rebel army
lately from typhoid fever, which disease prevailed
to a fearful extent on the Potomac. Five or six
helidings in Richmond have been converted into
hospitals, and were crowded with patients. At
Winchester, the same state of sickness existed. In
fact, the mortality of the rebel army was fearfully
great.

A Word About Floyd.
In a letter from Bowling 3 Green published in the
Richmend Dispatch, we find the following notice
of the Prince of Thieves:
" Having just gotten here, I shall content myself
with a reference to the Virginia troops under Gen.
Flo) d. Ills brigade is encamped about three miles
west of Bowling Green, and seems ready to mea
sure swords with the foe. Although this gallant
commend has performed much arduous service, its
sanitary condition is good, and the General deserves
the thanks of the country for his daring campaign
in Western Virginia, The theatre of his operations
there was so beset with difficulties, both moral anti
physical, that he was denied a fair field against the
enemy, and it was but an act of justice on the part
of Government to send him to an arena where those
ineutubrances would not be encountered. The
Fifty-sixth Virginia Regiment has been assigned
for the present to his command, and it is quite pro
bable that this arrangement will be permanent.
Its encampment is situated three hundred yards
from the General's headquarters, and presents a

BALTIMORE, Jan. 27.--The Old Point boat has ar
rived. She left last evening, but brings ne news of
moment.
The United States brig Perry. which has run the
blockade of the. Potomac from Alexandria, arrived
at Old Point last night.
The Cotton Gathering at Port Royal. —
Col. Reynolds, the Government agent at Port
Royal to superintend the gathering, ginning, and
transportation of cotton on the sea islands, arrived
at Washington on Saturday, and had a long inter
view with the Secretary of the Treasury. He has
already secured more than $1,000,000 worth of cot
ton. The two or three thousand negroes just freed
are industrious and orderly, and do their work well
and cheerfully. They need clothing and medical
ettendance. Ile desires to take back with him an
ample supply of theSrnier, and several physieians,
who shall devote themselves to these interesting
workmen.
Gen. Beauregard's army has gone into winter
quarters the same way that our army here has,
uamely : without being ordered to do so. The
men have been allowed to make themselves com
fortable in huts of their own construction. Gen.
Beauregard's main body, fully 80,000 strong, is
posted in and around these forts near Centreville.
The right wing, 45,000 strong, is posted between
the right bank of the Occoquan river and Acquia
creek. Tbe left wing is commanded by Gen.
Jgeltsen, at Martinsburg, and Geri. Evans, at Lees ,
burg. (The latter officer I believe, has since been
relieved.) It is said that Leesburg is strongly for

are 12.000 troops• there, however, and 12,00Imore
strongly entrenched on the right bank of Esoose
creek. Allow me tO refer to-my letter of Janttary
0 for an account of what 6ext. Jackson had LIMO
up to that time. Since that time he has not only
remained master of the situalon, RBA of all the
country between Martinsburg' and Hancock, but ho
has also advanced to Pknney, dilTen Geo. Lander
and the Union troops out of:that pface, and pursued
them to Cumberland, and now heals high revel in
all the country between Harper's Perry, Hancock,
and Romney. Perhaps, if ho would go to Cumber
land, Gen. Lander might girerliimAtothor " fitting
response."
The Lulea from. Romney.
The Wheeling Intelligencer of the 25th in'st.
says :
By a telegram received in this- city, late last
evening, from Camp Kelley, which is - the name of
the camp at Pattersun's creek, where our forces
now are, we learn that Jackson has. fallen back
with the larger portion of his troops to' Unger's
Store, within fifteen miles of Winchester, at the
junction of the Springfield road with the Romney
and Winchester pike, leaving Gen. Loring with
his brigade rtiil in Romney. The enemy has-evacu
ated Springfield, which is now held by our troops.
Though we are no prophets, we predict that'in this
state of the case the enemy now in Romney will,
some cold morning, not very far distant, • retire
from Romney as precipitately as they did on ei.late
occasion at Blue's .Gap.
