On Tuesday he occupied the small town of

Cumberland, and took nearly all the goods from
the stoics, burly ou Wednesday he captured
Kddyville, but tbo ganlsonof that place, con
sisting of twenty-live men of tbe loth Kentucky
Cavalry, and one hundred of the 4nU Keutucky
Iniantiy, boceiuing apprised of his approach,
made good their escape. Tba cavalrymsu swim

Admiral Lee, when last heard from, was ai

H e discbuige ot that quantity, as above staled,
some leu or more tuns were still left in tbe hold
ol the vessel. This was permitted to remain, and

The defendant denied that he knew the fact :
thai all tbe coal bad not been discharged nulil
al ter the vessel left Pensacola, alleging that the
discharge of the cargo was suriniended by the
Mate, and that, having a receipt for the same
quantity received, be supposed that all had beeu
