THE MISERABLE miscreant and trai
tor, Sohn Bankhead Magruder, "Major
General Commanding" the Rebel for
ces at Yorktown, has issued an ad
dress to his soldiers, in the opening
paragraph of which, for base falsehoods
-rid Southern bombast, is scarcely
iequalled. After speaking of their term
pf service as about to expire, he says,
1 4 your country, invaded by an insolent
foe, again demands your help; your
homes are violated, your firesides pol
luted by the presence of a mercenary
enemy, or silent in their desolation;
many of your friends in captivity or in
exile; our people slain, and the very
altars of our religion desecrated and
profaned. The faithless tyrants who
have dared to invade us have vowed
our conquest or our destruction. It is
for you to rise and avenge our slaugh
tered countrymen or nobly share their
fate. Of what worth is life without
liberty ? peace at the expense of honor?
the world without a homer
In reading the extract, "it is almost
impossible to realize that Magruder is
the same man who, a little more than
:a year ago, was parading the streets
of Washington boasting of his loyalty
and swearing that he never world
leave the old flag. Pampered and
spoiled by Executive 'favors, he was
first permitted to revel at the expense
of the Government in foreign countries,
and afterward placed in command of
the barracks at Newport, Rhode Island,
where he lived in a style of princely
luxury, ho went over to the rebbllion
with a lie in his throat and perjury
=Men on his brow. A creature thus
,debased, a fellow who has made his in-
famy a boast, and his treason the
ecorn of all honorable men, now prates
of the wrongs of the Southern people,'
of the yoke of the oppressor,' and of
freemen who know their rights and
O. I FI O to defend them.' We will yet,'
tae :says, in the conclusion of his ad
dress, strike down our ruthless inva
ders amid the smoking ruins of their
cities, and with arms in our hands dic
tate terms of peace on their own soil,'
Magruder is the fitting chief of a x'cck
gess And 'conscienceless rebellion. A

packages of letters for the Union pris
oners.
No news or papers were received, or
at least none came into the hands of
the press correspondents.
The city of New Orleans has been
taken by the Union forces. The tele
graph operators having left the city as
previously reported, no particulars had
been received. It is stated, however,
that the operators subsequently at
tempted to return, but found the city
in possession of the Union troops.
It is probable that the city surren
dered withoutresistance on the appear
ance of the fleet.
There is a report that the rebels'
much boasted iron gunboat built there,
a second Merrimac, on its way was de
stroyed by the U. S. steamer Pensacola.
The weather and tide, to-day, were
very favorable for the re-appearance of
the Merrimac in Hampton Roads, but
she still delays her coining.
It is reported that seine of the rebel
gunboats in the James river, attempt
ed, this forenoon, to shell some of our
camps this side of Warwick river.

Santa Fe Abandoned by the Rebels.
KANSAS CITY, April 28.—The through
mail, with Santa Fe dates to the 12th
and Fort Union to the 15th inst, has
:mired.
After the battle of Pigeon Manche,
Col. Slough fell back to Fort Union,
where a dispatch was received from
Gen. Canby ordering a junction to be
formed with him tlt Galesto. Major
Paul was placed in command. The
troops for the junction, ordered by
General Canby, arrived at Galesto on
the 9th, in advance of General Canby,
and learned that the Texan rebels had
abandoned Santa Fe, and were retreat
ing from the Territory.
Major Duncan, of General Canby's
command, who was in charge of the
advance guard, had fallen in with a
large party of Texans when a fight oc
curred, the latter being routed.
Maj. Duncan was slightly wounded.
General Canby- reached Galesto on
the 11th, and an immediate pursuit of
the Texans was ordered. They were
30 miles south of that point. No doubt
was entertained of the speedy capture
of Sibley's command, as they were
destitute of everything, having lost, at
the battle of Pigeon's Rancho, all their
baggage and supply trains, provisions,
&e. The health of the rebel army was
bad, and utoy ; had {lied. One hundred
and sixty sick and wounded had been
left in the hospitals at Santa Fe.
A large number of merchant trains
were FasW, eu route to this city.

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM THE

EXTRACTS FROM REBEL NEWS
PAPERS.
Foamr.ss lfoxaor•., April 20.—A flag
of truce came from Norfolk to-day
and brought clown the wife and family-
of Parson Brownlow, and also Mrs.
Maynard, the wife of the Congress
man. The party consisted of four ht
dies, two gentlemen and six children,
all from Tennessee.
They bring a report that all the
Union families in Tennessee have been
ordered, by proclamation, to leave
within 86 hours.
Eighteen hundred Union men left
for Kentucky a week ago. On Friday,
a patty of 900 men in attempting to
leave, 100 had been killed.
There can be no doubt of the cap
ture of - New Orleans. The newspa
pers speak of it in the most dismal
style, and demand that the mystery of
the surrender of the city shall be ex, :
plained.
The _Day Book editorial says that
the fall of New Orleans is by far the
most serious reverse of the war. It
suggests future privation to all classes
of society, but most to be lamented of
all, it threatens the army supplies.
The raising of meat and bread in
stead of cotton and tobacco is earnest
ly recommended by the disconsolate
editor.
The Richmond Dispatch of yester
day says that when the enemy's fleet
arrived opposite the city, and demand
ed the surrender, Gen. Lowell refused
and fell back to Camp Moore. After
destroying the cotton and tobacco,
the iron clad Mississippi was burnt to
prevent her from falling into the hands
of the enemy. Nothing is said of the
Louisiana, but it is supposed site was
scuttled, and it is rumored that she
was sunk at the first fire.
Camp Moore is at Tangihabue, 78
miles from Now Orleans, on the Jack
son railroad.
The following are the latest de
spatches in to-day's papers :
Momix,April 27.—The Yankee Com
modore Parragut, promised the ,May
or's secretary, who visited the fleet un
der a flag of' truce to make a renewed
demand for the surrender of the city,
but has not done so up to this hour,
five o'clock.
Our ship, the Mcßac came from the
forts under a flag of truce with forty
of our wounded. She communicated
with the Federal flag-ship, but the re
sult was not known. It is rumored
that the Federals refused to let her re
turn.
The rumor that Fort Pike had been
evacuated and blown up, ie unreliable.
In a conference held with one of the
Federal officers, after the correspon
dence between Mayor Monroe and
Corn. Farragat, the officer left, de
claring that he would shoot down the
flag on the City Hall if not hauled
down, and actually brought the ship
within range but bas not &red thus fn•.
It is reported that French and Eng
lish men of war are below, and enter
their protest against shelling the city.
It is believed the Yankee vessels are
short both of provisions and ammuni
tion.
The city is remarkably orderly, but
the excitement is intense and the feel
ing of humiliation deep.
RICHMOND, April 28.—The following
official dispatch was received this morn
ing by Adjutant General Cooper, dated
Camp Moore, April 27. Forts.) aekson
and St. Phillip are still in' good condi
tion and in our hands. The steamers
Louisiana and Mcßae are safe. The
enemy's fleet are at the city, but they
have not the forces to occupy it. The
inhabikints are staunchly loyal.
Monms„Aprfl V.—The forts on
Lake Pontchartrain wore all evacua
ted on the 25th. We havd sustained
considerable loss in supplies and
mounting, but:not destroying the guns.
At Fort Pike, all the buildings were
burned, including the telegraph office,
and the operator has gone to the limits
of the city to open an office if possible.
All the gunboats on the lake have
been burned by our own people.
Tho Mobile boats, Whiteman Brown
and several others, are removing troops,
stores and ordnance to Manashack, af
ter which, we fear, they
will be burned.
A Yankee fleet was at Ship Island,
and we are again returning to that sta
tion.
In a local paragraph, headed mar
kets, the Norfolk Day Book mentions
the very small supply of edibles ex
posed for sale, and says it becomes a
question of great moment as to whore
and how the people are to be fed.
The death of Samuel B. Todd, broth
er of itlrs. Lincoln, ds announced. lle
died on the battle field, from the effects
of wounds at Shiloh, an the 7th of April.
The Charlestori ille'redry Of Saturday,
says that nine schooners left that port
on the previous Saturday to run the
blockade. The Guide, Wave and two
others were captured. The crews of
the Guide were landed on Gibber Island
on Wednesday. On Friday they were
seen by our pickets and fired on. sup-
posing them to be Yankees. David
liauffer, of Augusta, was killed.
The other vessels crews were sent
to Port Royal.
It is reported by the flag of truce
that the Merrimac has her steam up.
It was eneeted in Norfolk last night
that she Would come out to-day. She
has not made her appearance however.
It is now raining.
The gunboat Mount Vernon ar
rived here from the blockade off Wil
mington: N. C., on Sunday night.—
She left there the Jamestown and Vic
toria. The Cambridge sailed hence
for Wilmington on Sunday. The
Mount Vernon's boilers are defective
but she will return to her station in a
few days.
Fort Caswell is being strengthened
by the rebels, in expectation of an at
tack.
The schooner Kate, from Nassau,
was captured by the Mount Vernon
about two weeks ago, while attempt
ing to run the blockade.
LATE SOUTHERN NEWS
Interview Between Beauregard and
Prentiss,
The Savannah Republicai of the 14th
instant publishes a letter from its army
correspondent, giving a description of
the battle of Shiloh. We make the
following extract:
Several stands of colors were also
captured—three by the First Louisiana
Regiment alone. I have seen two of
them myself; and was present when
they were brought in and delivered to
General Beauregard. I witnessed also
the arrival and presentation of Genl.
Prentiss, who was taken by a staff of
ficer or officers of General Polk, and
conducted to the latter, who sent him,
with his compliments, immediately to
Gen. Beanregard. The following is
the substance of the conversation that
ensued after they had shaken hands:
Prentiss. Well, sir, we have felt
your power today, and have bad to
yield.
Beauregard. That is natural, sir.—
You could not expect it to be other
wise. We are fighting for our homes,
for our wives and children, for genera
tions to come after us, and for liberty
itself. Why does your Government
thus war upon us, and seek us upon
our own soil?
Prentiss. Our people have never yet
been able to bring themselves to con
sent to see the Union broken up.—
Such a thing has not entered into our
calculations, and cannot.
Ileauregard. The Union is already
broken, and the last man, woman and
child in the South will willingly perish
before it shall be restored. What
force have you had engaged today?
Prentiss. Six divisions, numbering a
little over 7,000 each—the whole not
amounting to more than 40,000. Gen.
Grant commands, assisted by Generals
Sherman, McClernand, Hurlburt, Wal
lace and myself. Gen. Smith is sick,
and has not been upon the field. My
division was the first to receive your
attack, and we were not properly sup
ported; if wo bad been the day might
have been otherwise. There has been
mismanagement somewhere. Had I
been supported in time, we should have
broken your centre at the time we
stopped your advance.
lleauregard. You are mistaken, gen
eral ; my order of battle was such that
if you had even penetrated the centre
of our front line, it would only have
been to encounter certain destruction 3
we would have cut you to pieces. Has
Gen. Buell arrived, and what aro his
forces?
Prentiss (hesitatingly.) I do not
know where General Buell is, nor the
number of his forces. I have heard he
was at Nashville, and then at Colum
bus, and also that he was on the road.
We do not look for him under forty
eight hours. I fear you will capture
the greater part of our army on this
side of the river. You have met and
overcome to-day the best troops we
have.
Beauregard. lam glad to hear it,
and trust that the result of this day's
work may bring your Government to
a frame of mind more favorable to
peace.
Prentiss. That can hardly be, sir.—
If your army had pushed on after the
battle of Manassas, it might have taken
Washington, and overrun the North,
and brought us to peace. We had an
insufficient supply of arms then, and
were not prepared. The muskets pur
chased in Belgium by Fremont were
of but.little account; you could turn
your thumb in the muzzle, the bore
was so large. We also procured from
England the old arms that have been
stored away as useless in London Tow
er ever since the war with Napoleon
in 1815. They are of no value what
ever. It is only within the last sixty
days that we have become thoroughly
and efficiently armed. Our supply is
now ample, and we cannot be over
come. Your Government has made
two mistakes—first, in not availing it
self of the fruits of the battle of Manas
sas; and secondly, for waiting until we
had become well armed and organized.
We have now 250,000 men in camps of
instruction, who will be brought upon
the field as they may be needed. We
do not doubt the final result.
Beauregard. Nor do. we. Our cause
is just, and God will yet give us the
victory.
Prentiss. We know you have able
officers and a spirited army to back
them, but our confidence is firm, and
permit me to add, General, that among
all
.the Confederate'officers no one is so
groat a favorite with us as yourself.—
Such is- my own feeling, and that of
our army and people.
Beauregard. You are very kind, sir;
'but we have much better ollkds than
I am. General Sidney Johnston and
General Joseph Johnson are both my
superiors in ability as well as in rank.
I have served under both of them most
cheerfully, and know them well. I
care nothing for rank; •the good of my
country is what I. look to.
Other observations were made, but
the foregoing embraces therhiof points
of the interview. General Prentiss
was easy and pleasant, and not at all
depressed. Apparently, too, he was
quite candid, and yet 1 thought I de
tected a disposition to evade, if not to
deceive, in his reply as to the forces of
Buell. I believe that Buell is near at
hand. It is to be hoped that lam mista
ken, and that our men, who have already
fought tong hours, may not have to en
counter a fresh,
,force to-morrow.

The Edisto Island correspondent of
the New York Herald, writing under
date of April 18th, gives the following
account of a skirmish which took place
on St. John's Island between some Fed
eral and rebel soldiers. The cones.
pondent says:
Since my last a most brilliant affair
has taken place here, resulting in the
total rout of two hundred rebel cav
alry by about sixty of our men. The
party consisted of Captain Rhind, Dr.
Brituall, Master's Mate Nelson, thirty
men and a howitzer from the United
States gunboat Crusader, and thirty
men from the Forty-seventh New York,
Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania, and Third
New Hampshire Regiments, under
Captain Dow, of the latter regiment.
The expedition wasgotten up by Capt.
Rhind, for the purpose of punishing
the rebels for firin , , upon one of his
unarmed boats while going down the
North Edisto river to save some cotton
from the brig Empire, wrecked on the
bar outside of our harbor a few days
since. Mr. U rann, master, and in com
mand of the boat, was shot in the right
wrist and left hand, making amputa
tion of the forefinger of that hand ne
cessary. J nage Reynolds, Govern
ment agent, had his hat string cut by
a ball, while many of the crew had
their elothts cut considerably by the
enemy's well aimed rifle balls. The
safety of the boat and crew is solely
due to Mr. Urann fbr his coolness and
courage under these trying circum
stances.
The expedition left the Crusader
about twelve o'clock last night, under
command of Captain Rhind, and land
ed at Rockville, a small village oppo
site the camp of the New York Forty
seventh, on St. John's Island, and, im
mediately throwing out skirmishers,
the main body advanced slowly and
cautiously through the village until it
reached the main road. They now
rapidly advanced towards Mr. Sea
brook's plantation, back and distant
from Rockville three miles and a half,
where they intended to bag some cair
alry pickets, who were supposed to be
stationed in the houses; but none were
found. They now moved down to
William Seabrook's plantation, about
two miles; but,unfortunately, on their
approach, a musket belonging to one
of the sailors exploded and alarmed
the enemy, who retreated in a most
precipitate manner, not however, with- .
out receiving the contents of several
muskets, which brought down one
horse and its rider. The saddle and
sword were secured by one of the sail
ors as a trophy, and proved to have
been the equipments of an officer.
Upon consultation, it was deemed
prudent to remain at Seabrook's until
daylight,, to give the men an opportu
nity for repose, as they were much fa
tigued by their rapid march, and la
borious work in hauling the howitzer
over the wretched sandy roads, so pe
culiar to these islands. Pickets were
immediately thrown out, and every
preparation made to receive the ene
my in the morning. A little before
daylight the men were under arms,
and the pickets called in. This was
hardly accomplished when the enemy's
cavalry were seen approaching; our
men were instantly in line, and the
howitzer manned. The enemy per
ceiving this, charged up the road furi
ously and in a gallant manner. At
the same moment about fifty of the
enemy made a flank movement, in
tending to cut off our retreat by ta
king possession of the bridge leading
from the plantation ; but in this were
anticipated by Captain Dow, who or
dered Lieut. Bedell, with a platoon, to
occupy the bridge. A well directed
volley broke the enemy's ranks, who
immediately retreated, The main
body were brought to an exceedingly
sudden terminus, by a shell from the
howitzerstriking square in theirranks,
and a perfect storm of rifle balls. They
soon rallied, however, and made an
other charge. The howitzer now play
ed lively on them with its one and a
half second shells, which burst in their
ranks at the rate of seven per minute,.
completely nonplussing them, as they
apparently- seemed to expect nothing
worse to contend with than the few
" Springfields" which Floyd forgot to
take away with him. Again they
broke and retreated in disorder, and a
third time rallied. Captain Blind,
seeing his small force wavering a little
when the enemy wore making their
third and most determined charge,
rushed to the front and cried out,
"Now, boys fight or die." lie was an
swered by that gallant band by ono
such hurrah as only patriots can give.
On came the enemy, now fully two
hundred strong, and again their ranks
were mewed down by our well-directed
and better maintained fire. The car
nage was terrible for so small a body
to experience; they wavered, broke
and retreated in the greatest disorder,
receiti•ing several shell, which increased
the panic. Captain /Wind waited for
a renewal of the attack for half an
hour, and then returned, his men sing
ing " Dixie " in a most vociferous man
ner.
A SINGULAR Paornscr.—The following
circumstance, says the Richmond Inig, re
cently occurred at Pensacola, and its truth is
vouched for by a trustworthy officer of the
army
"A soldier in the Confederate service fell
into a long and profound sleep, from which
hie comrades vainly essayed' to arouse him.—
At lifit ho woke up himself. He then stated
that he Should die the next afternoon at four
o'clock, for it was so revealed to him in his
dream. Ile said in the last week of the
month of April would be fought the greatest
and bloodiest battle of modern time., and
that early in May peace would break upon
the land more suddenly and unexpectedly
than the war had done in the beginning.—
The first part of the prophetic dream has
been realized, for the soldier died the next
day at four o'clock, P. ➢I. Will the rest be
in April and May? Let believers in dreams
wait and see."—Mobile Advertiser.
AN INCIDENT OF TILE BATTLE OF BIIIROLL—
The following incident of the battle of Shiloh
is related by an eye and ear witness :—Two
Kentucky regiments met face to face, and
fought each other with terrible resolution,
and it.)tappened that one of the-Federal sol
diers wounded and captured his brother, and
after •handing him back began firing at a man
near ,a ! tree, }Alen the captured brother called
to him and said, " .1)ora shoot there any
mere—that's father."
GEkilatAL 'POPE'S DtvimoN.—An exchange
learns from a reliable source that General
Pope's division, on the Tennessee river, did
ppt•halt at f:kttsburg Landing. They contin
ued their voyage.up . to Ea'stport, some twenty
miles above, where it is likely they are to net
in cooperation with General Nitehep, in a
flank movement on Corinth.
GEN. BUELL'S STRAVEOY.—A soldier
who was on the battle-field at Shiloh,
states that Gon. Buell executed a ma
noeuvre that reflects great credit on
him as a commander. The rebels were
advancing in great force to turn our
left and capture our transports and:
supplies, when Buell, becoming aware
of their intentions, made preparations
to receive them. About half a mile
above the landing are two large ridges
running back from the river. The
ridge next to the landing is the high
est. Buell placed a battery on each
of the ridges, and between them he
placed a brigade of infantry. The
troops were ordered to lie down. He
then ordered the lower battery to fire
on the enemy and make a show of re
treat in confusion,so as to draw the reb
els on. On came the rebels pell-mell,
yelling at the top of their voices, "Bull
Run," "Bull Run," thinking to frighten
us. As soon as the rebels came in
range, the lower battery, agreeably to
orders, opened fire, retreated and took
a position in the rear of the upper bat
tery. The rebels, seeing our men re
treating, charged up the hill and took
possession of the battery. The rebels
in the meantime were not aware of our
troops being in the hollow below them.
At this moment the signal was sound
ed, and the whole brigade rose to their
feet and poured a deadly fire of rifle
balls into the ranks of the rebels, cut
ting them down by scores. At this
litvorable moment, also, the upper bat
tery poured in a perfect storm of grape
and canister shot. The rebels reeled
and staggered like drunken men, and at
last broke and fled in every direction,
leaving the ground strewed with dead
and dying.
The Report about Gen. W. F, smith.
Mr. Morrill, of the Ifouse, has been
waited upon by officers of the army,
who saw the Division Commander,
Gen. Smith, at the time he was charged
with being drunk, and sacrificing the
lives of some of the Vermont troops,
who charged one of the rebel works at
Yorktown, and informed Lim that he
(Morrill) was misled in asserting that
the General (Smith) who directed the
movement of the Vermont troops was
drunk, and, in consequence of being so,
fell from his horse twice. One of the
officers, a Colonel on Gen. McClellan's
staff, assured Mr. Morrill that he saw
Gen. Smith before and after the
noisanee, and that he was perfectly
sober; but that his horse did fall,
throwing the General, injuring his
head some, hut, not seriously. Mr.
Morrill acknowledged that he was mis
taken, and that injustice• had been
done to Gen. Smith.-IV. Times.
A Hamm Bur.-" Aliale boy, only twelve
years old, whose mother resides in Woodburn,
returned last week from Pittsburg Landing.
Ho was a drummer in a company of which
his father was a lieutenant. His name is
Charley Bliss. I am well acquainted with
the family, having been their physician.—
this boy went through the whole of the Don
elson fight, and was engaged during the- two
days of that at Pittsburg. His father was
wounded in three places, whilst lee had his
clothes pierced with bullets, and blood once
slightly drawn from about the knee. Ilis
drone was shot entirely away ! The little fel.
low's gear looked very rusty, and his girlish
face was tanned as dark as chocolate. His
colonel sent him home, with four wounded
men, by whom be had remained, and to whom
he carried water on the field when the battle
raged the hottest. They say he never flinched.
At Donelson he got hold of a gun dropped by
a rebel, and fired twenty rounds himself, by
borrowing cartridges from the soldiers about
him. I tried to get him to stay with us over
night, promising to take him home in my
carriage, early in the morning. But no, lie
said he preferred to walk three or four miles
in the mud and rain, after dark, fin. he want
ed to see his mother that night. His father
was loft behind, in a hospital."
A SAD CASE—A Triple Bereavemenl.—On
Wednesday last, as Lieut. Van Armen, of the
Fifty-eighth Illinois, was passing near the Post
Office, he was accosted by a youthful woman,
who said that, seeing the figures " 53 " on his
hat, she hoped he might be able to tell how
she could get a letter to an officer in that re
giment. lie said he would be happy to oblige
her if he could. She said' she had written sev
eral letters and received no answer. "What
is the mime , 1" inquired Lieut. Van Arman.
" Lieut. Fife," answered the lady. "I aim
sorry to say that Lieut. Fife is dead be was
killed-at Pittsburg," said Van Arman. The
effect was terrible. Almost instantly the la
dy sank to the ground, fainting. When re
stored her grief was most distressing.. Lieut.
Fife was her husband. But, unfortunately,
the sad budget of news was not all told. It
appears that her father was Captain Kurth,
of Company F, Fifty-eighth regiment, and her
uncle was First Lieutenant Kurth, and her
husband second Lieutenant of the same regi
ment. lierfather is now a prisoner, with the
most of his regiment, in the hands of the reb
els, and her uncle was wounded severely in
the engagement. It is rarely that such a con
centration of misfortune falls upon a single
family.— Chicago Journal.
Gov. YATES of Illinois, has paid a rath
er unusual, but well-merited, compliment to
Mrs. Reynolds, wife of Lieutenant Reynolds,
of the Seventeenth Illinois regiment, and a
resident of Peoria. Mrs. Reynolds has ac
companied her husband through the greater
part of the campaign through which the Sev
enteenth has passed, sharing with him the
dangers and privations of a soldier's life.—
She was present at the battle of Pittsburg
Landing, and like a ministering angel, at
tended to the wants of as many of the wound
ed and. dying soldiers as she could, thus win
ning the gratitude and esteem of the bravo
fellows by whom she•was surrounded. Gov
ernor Yates, hearing of her heroic and praise
worthy conduct, presented her with a com
mission as Major in the army, the document
conferring the well-merited honor being mode
out with all duo formality and having attached
to it the great seal of the State.
TILE DEFENCE OF RICIIIIOND.—,GonoroI Gus
tavus Smith commands the army defending
Richmond on the Frdericksburg side, which
includes Wigfall's brigade. Smith has lately
received heavy reinforcements, troops having
returned who were sent to Yorktown weeks
ago. This report is confirmed by contrabands
and deserters.
