A Handsome Compliment. —The Harris burg Telegraph ol thc2dth mat. pays tho fol lowing handsome, ami wo say deserved, com pliment to our excellent citizen, Jons Noble, Esq. It js true.,, a a the Telegraph says, that “ the Nodle family have been faithful in their dealings with the Government." for wo learn it as a fact, that notwithstanding the great length of.time they have furnished beef for the troops, a dispute or misunderstanding nev er occurred between them and the officer with whom they settled. The premnt John No ble, like his father before him, is emphatic ally a business man, liberal in spirit, upright in his dealings with all men, and a highly esteemed citizen. Hot, to the remarks of the Telegraph. It says'. The Oldest Army Contractor in the Country. —-Loin N->hle. the present oontrao tor’for furnishing Carlisle h:u nudes with beef, may ha regarded ns the oldest army contrac tor in tin; con ni ry, or as coming from a fam ily of in .ni who h ivc fide I c »n t r acts with ’.lie G'vpnmont for many years. The father of Mr. N »ble -unlie 1 Carlisle lurraek with as early as IS 11.I 1 . —an 1 was tin contractor for making up that p.»r:ion if the commis-ary fit ires f>r the troops which wont to the aid ol the army then operating on the Canada bor der. John N i;i.k succeeded his father, and is now. as wo have inentii.ned, tho beef con tractor of the barracks. These facts indicate that the Nodi.e family have been faithful in their dealings with the Government, or they would not thus long hive remained in its cm pluj. The State Contention. —The proceeding of tho Deumcralic Stale Convention, which 1 met in Phila.lelphia on Thursday last, and which wo publish this week, was one of the largest ami most enthusiastic which ever met in this Commonwealth. Its action was har monious. and everything pissed off satisfac torily. The Convention omitted passing any extended resolutions, preferring to leave the making of a National Platform to the No. tiunal Convention, to meet on the 4th of July at Chicago, The resolution unanimously adopted in fa vor of the nomination of General McClellan for the Presidency, is but the expression of the sentiments of the united Democracy of Pennsylvania. This patriotic statesman and great soldier will undoubtedly receive the vote of the Pennsylvania delegation, and the prospects are most favorable' for hie nomina tion. Wo trust ho may he our standard bearer, and his enemies will yet have cause to regret their disgraceful treatment of him. We still hope that with McClellan wo may defeat the corrupt and imbecile party now in power, and restore the country to union and potfee. Take Notice. —Persona indebted to the subscriber arc urgently requested to make payment, as I am in want of money. W, C. SaWVER. McClellan and the Soldiers. —Mr. Lin coin, Mr. Chase and General McClellan were nominated for the next Presidency at one of our hospitals a few days since, and the votes of the inmates taken. Of three hundred votes polled two hundred and fifty-three were for General .McClellan.— Washington Dis patch. ggy* Oysters are up to a fabulous figure in the Philadelphia iharket—never so high before. Fifteen dollars a thousand was the price for choice qualities a few days ago.— The “bivalvfs” are a luxury in which none but government officials and army contract ors now indulge in that city. • Bsc ate or llr.iiEL Prisoneus.— I The other night n train containing several humlrc l.rcb cl prisoners came from, the wo*t over the Pennsylvania railroad. When the train was near Altoona six or seven of them jumped from the oars :md succeeded.in making their escape. The arc still at large. 03?" Chief Justice Tanf.v. of the United States Supremo Court, celebrated his 87tli birthday ou the 17th insk Our exchange papers from every direction publish accounts of collisions that have taken place between chitons ami soldiers. Scores of botlfMmve been killed ami many more wounded in these disgraceful broils* One dav we have au account of soldiers forcing open prison-doors and releasing the prison ers ; again we read of the “sacking’' of Ibis and that hfltel or tavern by soldiers; then again wo arc informed that certain printing offices have been “gutted’* by these same gentlemen. Hints ami assaults arc numer ous in a!l sections of the country, and if not rebuked and cheeked by the strong arm of .the government, wo will soon witness a state of affairs that will eclipse the worst scenes of the French revolution. Tt is time some thing was done to put a stop to this lawless- j ness, and if our rulers refuse to make an ef fort in this direction, the people will bo com pelled to adopt measures for the protection of their persons and property. Republican editors more than any other men living arc responsible for the various outrages that have boon committed by sol diers. For the last year or more, the Aboli tion press, when unable to-answer the solid arguments of Democratic editors, would bris tle up, and, as a kind of intimidating threat to Democrats, yelp from their kennels “just wait till the soldiers come home thus inti mating that our bravo soldiers, when at home, could do as they pleased, and set law, and ordor and decency at defiance, and settle ’their private griefs by brute force. It was an invitation to tho soldiers to perjure them selves by violating tho oath they had taken when they enlisted. It was asking tho sol diers to commit lawless acts, and.thus dis grace themselves and their uniforms. Not’l long since a pompous Major General, during ! the delivery of an Abolition, negro-equality 1 speech, used the’feo words:—•'Wait'till the soldiers come home—they will settle accounts with the copperheads." What was this but an invitation to Republican soldiers to com mit murder and arson? Tho Major General i who could thus incite soldiers to acts of vio lence should have his straps torn from Ids shoulders. But yet tho man who made these remarks stands higlf** in administration cir cles., It is not often that a true soldier will be guilty of a dishonorable act, f ik, ho re spects tho uid form ho wears and the oath he has taken ; but sometimes it has happened 1 that tho more- ignorant of them have, by ta king a hint from bad advisors, degraded them selves, by committing utdawful and infamous acts. Their advisers, then, ami not tho sol diers, arc tho mure guilty parties, and against them public opinion should be directed and the finger of scorn pointed. Soldiers, we re peat, will not bo guilty of low and disgrace tel acts, provided they arc not tampered with by the liars and cowards who attempt to use them for their own devilish purposes. AnotiierDespicable Slander Refuted.— The absurd story that was started a couple of weeks ago by the Washington correspondent of the New-York Tribune , about a secret in terview between Generals McClellan and Let* after, the battle of Antietam. turns out to be all humbug, as any one whose common sense is not warped by prcdjudice, might have sup posed. The man, “ Francis Waldron," who originated it, is a drunken fellow, and his story had no other foundation than the va gary of a disordered orain. The Tribune . which at first treated it seriously, with well affected amazement, and was ready to dis cover in it damning proofs of McClellan’s treason," now disposes of it in these few lines: The Reported Interview Between Gener als Lee and M’Clellan. -It is stated that tho detectives who have had Waldron in charge have got from him a confession in writing, that he was drunk when he told the story of' the interview between McClellan and Lee, and that he puts on John Barlocorn the en tire blame of troubling the War Ueparlmcnt and the War Committee to investigate the charge. ** liiWSmiStD BROILS. The avidity with which the hireling Ad ministration presses seized upon this story, and circulated it with all theacc unpanimems they could invent to give it an air of truth, ami thetardiness and had grace with which they contradict it, show to what a depth of meanness partizan malignity has lowered them. But McClellan’s fame can withstand a thousand sucli pitaful slanders. fC7*'Somc Abolition sharks in Cincinnati having for sale a fao-similo of the Presidents Emancipation Proclaimation, advertised for agents, stating that the entire profits w*»re to he devoted to the benefit of the “ Soldiers Home.” • A maimed soldier applied for an agency, when lo ! he discovered that the par ties procured the copy for SlOO per hundred and sold them to agents for'Slso per hund red, thus clearing £5O on each one hundred. The soldier makes this statement in the Cin cinnati Gazette, and remarks “ Is nut this feathering one's nost under the pica of char ity?” We think so indeed. Yet this is an every 1 day occurrence. We see long appeals in the Abolition papers for contributions to charita ble associations, sanitary associations, sol diersaid societies, in nearly all of which men are feathering their own nests under plea of charity. Abolition philanthropy and love for the soldier looks entirely towards putting money into the pockets of a few po litical beggars. (C7*The Chattanooga Gazette states, that between the point of Lookout Mountain and Bridgeport,-down the Vally of theTonnesee, lie twenty-five miles of dead raules.in one con tinuous string—>the head of the first carcass lying on the “ qarterdock” of the one beyond him, and so on, throughout the entirodistance. The Gazette says: “Just imagine a canv.ul-' tion of nature of sufficient magnitude to bury these remains as they now ,l*e, and pliancy the phelinx of a future Agissiz who in his geological researches strikes oi'ther of the ter mini, and attempts to exhume the entire ' snake.”” Cheap Patriotism. — At a military post where some 8.000 new recruits have been collected, the officer haring them in charge writes that “out of all this number of fresh recruits not a single one can be found who was a member of a so-called Loyal League.” The officer therefore concludes that Loyal League professions is a very cheap patriotism. JiEliKO EQUALITY KEI'OIWZED. In tho U-S. Senate, a few (lava since, the bill to incorporate the Metropolitan Railroad Company in the District of Columbia, 'vas pot upon its passage. Mr. Sumneu, of Mas sachusetts. moved the lollowirg amendment to the bill: “ Provided, That there shall be no Tegola* tion excluding any person from any car on account of color.'’ A lengthy debate followed, during whicli Mr. Sumner ami others contended -that wo must recognize colored people ns our equals in every respect—-that wo must yield our prejudices-and mingle with colored people, ride With them, sup with them, vote with them, and intermarry with them 1 Mr. Mor rill was glad the amendment had been of fered, for he desired to sec the question set tled for all time to come. “ lie had no con fidence, M he said, “in those who, professed loyal sentiments and at the same time refused to recognize the black man ns his brother.” Thus for nearly the whole dny the debate proceeded. Finally the vote was taken on Sumner’s amendment, and it-was adopted— yeas 19, nays 17, as follows: YEAS—Messrs. Anthony, Brown. Clark, Conncss, Fessenden, Foot. Foster, Grimes, liarlan, Howe, Lane of Kansas, Morgan, Morrill, Pomeroy, Ramsey. Sumner, Wade, i Wilkinson and Wilson—lD- # r | NAYS—Messrs. Buckatew, Carlilo, Davis, Doolittle, Harding, Harris, Hendricks, John son, Inline of Indiana, Powell. Riddle, Salis bury, Sherman. Ton Eyck, Trumbull, "S an Winkle and Willey—l 7. It will be seen that several of the Repub lican Senators recoiled when this most infa mous proposition was submitted to the Sen ate, and they voted against it. Sueuman, .-notwithstanding his radical notions, could not swallow the unsavory pill, and lie cau tioned Republican Senators to beware how far they outraged public sentiment. Ho felt alarmed at the fanaticism of the day, and* feared it would bo carried to a length calcu lated to disgust the people, who would rise in their might in opposition to this negro equality business. According to the Sumner and Morrill standard, Senator Sherman is no longer a loyal man I Negro equality, therefore, is the present order of the day, and no'man is to be consid ered “ loval" who is not willing to associate with cufiy and consider hini his equal in every respbet. The colored people expect all the righ's and privileges enjoyed by whites, and the United States Senate has determined, to enforce the equality doctrine upon the people. To show that* our " colored breth ren" arc in earnest in their demands, wo copy the following from the Philadelphia Inquirer : Colored Union League. — A public meet ing of the Colored Union Longue was held last evening in the Church, in Lombard St., below Sixth. John C. Bowers was chosen President. The President stated the ohjectn of the meeting to he the advancement of the.general interests of the colored population of the city in the exercise of the elective franchise. It was stated that it was the intention of the League, also, to petition the Legislature for the passage of a law by which the colored people would enjoy an equal privilege with the white population in lh6 use of the city passenger ears. A memorial was read petitioning the Leg islature to enact such laws ns would recog nize the rights of colored people. Rev. Ste phen Smith remarked t u at he had once en joyed the privilege of voting in this city, and he hoped that soon this privilege wool 1 he allowed the colored man again. He hoped the present war would continue until the last chain should bo knocked from the - limbs ol every slave. The meeting then adopted a re<'.lnt>on calling upon the Legislature to make such laws as would secure to the colored man the elective franchise. A motion was made and carried, that by tiro payment of one dollar initiation, any male in good standing should ho allowed the privilege of becoming a mem ber of the League. Rev. Mr. Smith said that he was in favor of extending this privi lege to the female portion of the community also; lie wished to make it a general move ment, and in “union there is Hticngih."- After the transaction of a few items of busi ness of a more private character tho meeting adjourned. The. Amendments to the Constitution Passed. —The Amendments to the Constitu tion, proposed by the last Legislature, allow ing soldiers to vote in the field, &c., have pas sed both branches of the present Legislature. An act has also passed providing fur a spe cial election, at which the people arc to de cide upon the proposed amendments. Section first of this act. provides that the Governor shall issue writs of election to ho hold on the second Tuesday of August, 1804.- and that the people shall then vote upon the adoption or rejection of three proposed amend ments to the Constitution, viz; First. Allowing soldiers to vote. Second, That the Legislature shall not pass npnn mat ters over which the Courts have jurisdiction. Third. That no hill before, tho Legislature shall embrace more than o.ne subject. These three amendments a.re, to bg. so arranged on tickets as to bo voted upon separately'by tho people? Section 2. provides that the election shall be conducted as other elections. Section 3. That a board of Canvassers shall assemble to publish the returns. Section 4th authorizes sheriffs and commis sioners to perform all necessary duties. Not Yet. —The mission of the “'Republi can” party is now said to be accomplished, {ind a nice thing it is 1 Mt has cost the coun try nearly a million of lives, destroyed its fi-. nancial and -commercial prosperity, severed the union of States-and broken their laws, turned vast and fertile districts into deserts and battle-fields—subverted the liberties of the people, and now its “ mission is accom lisbcd !” No, not yet. After such a record the people will not allow you to hide your crimes under a name which you profane* shirk the punishment that you deserve, or meanly sneak from the arm of their ven geance, to perpetrate new infamies, and fin ish the destruction you have so near accorn- Your “mission” is not yet “ accomplished,” nor will it be till you have met the doom of traitors and tyrants, and rest securely buried 1 oneath the execrations and detestation of freemen. Nobody likes to bo nobody, but eve rybody is pleased to think hittiself somebody. And everybody is somebody ; bu£ when any body thinks himself to bo somebody, he gen erally thinks everybody else to bo nobody. THE finp'DS OF FREiiIONT SPEAR ODT. The Kao Nation, a vA: 7 able Republican paper printed in Now |Yovk, and which fa vors Fremont for President, thus addresses to poor Lincoln : We have been imposed upon long enough. The rain which yon have boon unnldn to ac complish. in Ibnr years' would certainly be fully consummated were you to remain in' power four years longer; Your military governors and their provost marshals over ride the laws, ami the echo of the armed heel rings forth -as clcti'lg now in America an in France or 'Austria. lou have encroached upon our lihertg tctlhoul accuring victory ; and we mutt have birth. And Spirit of the Times , another Re publican organ, speaks with equal frailness. Reviewing our situation, it says: Never, before, have wo felt a depression equal to that which assails us at tlnj mo inont. Three years have now elapsed since the commencement of the war. A debt of sixteen hundred millions stares 113 in the face; and nearly half a million of our sol diers have been utterly used up. Tho clastic -hope which buoyed up* the earlier stages of the struggle has largely faded out, while, so far as the Confederates are concerned, they are better off to day. to sustain three years mure of contest, than at imy previous period of the war. Tho manufactories first required arc now constructed \ agriculture and the science of subsistence have- taken settled shape ; and all tho sufferings and sac rifices which uve necessary to season u people to exploit, have been endured. Moreover, they feel that the period of probation which foreign powers limit for struggling popula tions to earn the stamp of nationality, is very nearly up, Is it.not, therefore, painful, nay, alarming, that,-at such a crisis, mediocrity and doubtful purpose should wield the entire sway? Yet such is tho case; and wo dwell upon it, we arc almost driven to believe that God, not only is nut with us.but against us. Ho has confounded our judgements, di vided our councils, and delivered us into the hands of the fainthearted, and the blind. And why should 110 bo with us, base, grovelling and corrupted as wo are? We aro not with him! Wo are a godless, con scienceless, religionlcss people. There is no honor, no virtue, no devotion, except among the masses, while ninety per cent, of all who range above thousand dollar incomes are mere lynx-eyed sharpers, who are watching 'every neighbor with suspicion, and who sub ordinate every sentiment to self. Debauched by an extravagant prosperity, and spared mercifully from all sacrifices, wo have un gratefully forgotten a due reliance upon Heaven ; and the result is that, except in the case of the simple, virtuous, laboring people, we have practically become a community of atheists; There is no conscience'attached to the i ntei 1i go noo and wealth of the community; arid layqicn wo arc, and of the world, we -ay uu-to yon, fellow-countrymen, that there \ can be no biMiug Government without public virtue; no enduring ;.atioimlity without, a uimersal senfe ot Ood, Handled as our country has been in the'field, and sUipified as it is by the tricksters of tho Cabinet, it would seem that we are hnly to arrive at the stage when wc may 1)0 permitted to rebuild, by fluircrings and sacrifices, and, perhaps, thro’ a preliminary chaos which it is.dreadful to anticipate. This mournful destiny would seem to be foreshadowed in the fact that, im patient of our folly, 110 has allowed us to put our nation in the hands of men who have attempted to guide it through thi* fiery hour .without the inspiration of a single moral principle, and whoso cold, groveling natures never rise above the attitude of calculation. Thus managed, if lie permits us to escape without preliminary ruin, it will only lie through a miracle of mercy, and for the sake alone of those more virtuous populations which are looking toward us for their enfran chisement ajro>s the seas. It is thus that men might to speak in this country. The ] coplo arc the masters —the sovereigns, and it dm;* not boemno tliem, at anv time, to talk uf their servants with ’hated hrcatli, and least nf all in a time like the pro? out, when there is nothin" left us but “to dare—to dare and still to dare.” MISCEGENATION. Wo have received, says the Grocnsburg Republican, several Abolition publications ad vocating the new Tangled dm-trinoof misceg enation, so called after Greek words which sig nify to mingle and generate. These are re volting appeals plainly put in favor of amal gamation by union of white women with ne gro men. The subject is too revolting for and not the less bo that the fana tical leaders who now control the Republican party, are determined to drive the decent members of that party into, support of, or, at least submission to these beastly practices, Oneof theta pamphlets has this Shakesperoan motto — ,l the elements So iuxed in him that Nature might stand up, Amt Btty to tin; world, ‘ This was a man !' *' and proceeds to state its propositions thus “ 1. Since the whole human race is of one family, there should bo in a'republic no dis tinction hi political or social rights on account ot color.'race or nativity., “2. The doctrine. of-human br.otber.bood implies the right of white and black to inter marry. "3e The solution of the negro problem will not bo reached in this country until public opinion sanctions a union of the two races. “4. As the negio is here, and cannot be driven out, there shpuld be no impediment to the abs irntion of one race in the other. “ 5. Legitimate unions between whites and blacks could not possibly have any worse ef fect than the illegitimate unions which have been going on more than a century in the South. *• G. The mingling of-divorco races is prov ed by'all history to have been n positive ben efit to the progeny. “ 7. The southern -rebellion is caused less l>y slavery than by the base prejudice .result ing from distinction of color; and perfect pence can come only by a cessation of that distinction tb rough an absorption of the black race by the white. “ 8. It Is the duty of anti-slavery men eve rywhere to advocate the mingling of the.two races. “9. The next presidential election should secure to the blacks all their social and polit ical rights ; and the progressive party should not flinch from conclusions faily doduciblo from their own principles, “10. In the millennial future the highest typo of manhood will not bo white or black, but brown; and the union of black with white in marriage will help the human fam ily the sooner to realize its great destiny.” • OUT’' The following is a statistical view of tho.l/Uthornn Church in the United States; Synods -10 ; Ministers. 1420; Congrega tions.-2.5f13 ; Members, flOO.QOO: Periodical pnlilicV.t.ionfc, 21 1 Theological.

The Committee on Resolutions, through their Chairman, Hon. J. Glancy Jones, re ported the followin resolutions, which had been selected by the unanimous vote of the Committee ; Resolved, That as we have no State candi date! to present to the people, ami no issue involved in the coining election other than those which affect the wcllaro and liberties of our sister States dqually with ours, we leave it to our representatives in tho Chicago Convention to unite with the representatives ol tho other sovereignties of the North in em bodying the bcniimcnt of the people in a de claration of principles acceptable to all tiie States, on whom wo rely to elect a President, and bring back peace and union to this dis tracted land. . Resolved, That tbo'Democracy of Pennsyl vania hereby express their preference for the nomination of General George B. McClellan, as the Democratic candidate for the Presi dency by the Chicago Convention, and that the Delegates to said Convention bo instruct ed to vote us a unit on ail questions arising therein, us a majority of the delegates shall decide.. Resolved . That the first necessary step to restore the welfare and prosperity of the Amcricnirllepubiie is to got rid of the pres ent corrupt Federal Administration, and the sure way to accomplish this end is a thorough organization of the time honored Democratic party, and the prevalence of Union aud har mony among its members. Tlie resolutions were adopted unanimously without discussion. Throe cheers were proposed for General McClellan and the Union, which wore given with a will. The Convention then adjourned sine die. How Lincoln Neoroisji Operates,—A, Washington correspondent of a New York Journal whose statement is coroboratod from other scources, writes as follows : “ The effort made by the humanitarians to get rid of a cargo of free colored poplo Imtf been eminently successful. In April last, un der the banner of Lincoln Colonization, four hundred and fifty of those unfortunates were shipped to the Island of A-Vache. and yester day afternoon three hrndrli and sixty-eight were‘returned to this District. The total number destroyed by bad treatment was cigh ty-two; and the whole of them are ready to "to testify that their bufferings have been in describable. The amount appropriated by the last Congress, fur nutting down tlie re bellion, by means of this little speculation \vas six hundred thousand dollars. Uow much of the money remains uftexpenclod. how soon another of these humane and profitable experiments will ho made, and who of our excessively loyal citizens will have the finger ing of the money, are questions not yet deci ded” ..... Thus goes the money of tho white tax-pay ors of tho country, and thus aro killed off in nocent negroes, by tlio impracticable schemes of our Abolition.rulers.

Taking advantage of this appropriation, about 420 colored persona embarked, in April last, at Fortress Monroe under a contract with Forbes and TuokorharA, of New York, for the Isle of A-Vacbo, belonging to tho re public of Ilayti. During tho passage, tho small-pox broke out, and.they suffered terri bly therefrom. After their arrival out their sufferings, from want of attention, became so groat that Secretary Usher, under tho di rection of tho President, dispatched Mr. D. C.

REBEL MOVEMENT IN KENTUCKY, Activity and Atrocious Designsofßeb- el Agents, TIIE INHABITANTS IN BEKIL. An Invasion of tue State 'Expected at Anv Hour. Washington March 20. A private letter from Louisville says that the inhabitants of the interior are in a state of constant perplexity ami fear, — Rebel agents are said to overrun Aen tncky in all directions, increasing by falae re ports and perfidious insinuations the feverish anxiety prevaling everywhere. The idea that General Breckinridge is ad vancing upon the A’entucky line, with the in tention of raising the country in insurrection, adds a great deal to the excitement of the peo ple. A few days' ago a miner was spread that General L mg’streot bad sent away most of his artillery and wagons by railroad, ami that he was marching upon Cumberland Gap at the head of thirty thousand me.i. When this news reached Kentucky, most of the farmers in Ilarland, Letcher, Knox, and other adjoining counties, left their farms and took the way to Manchester. The idea of an invasion of the State by the rebels is now a fixed opini'n, and not an hour elapses with out some rue, irs of their advance being cir culated among the inhabitants. A gentleman living in Monticello assures ns that most of the Kentucky delegation re presenting the State in the Rebel Congress at Richmond, have returned, and are inciting the people to revolt. He said that before ho left Monticello ho was told by a secessionist that if he would come ton cot tain place which ho pointed out to him, ho would there see 0. W. Triplet of Louisville, who had just come from Richmond, incompant with E. M. Rruce, G. W. Ewing. T. L. Burnett, ami oilier rebel Kentuckians. lie was also told that tlieso gentlemen had come for the pur pose of preparing the people for the approach ing arrival'nf Breckinridge and Buckner. INVASION OF KENTUCKY. Cario, March 2G. —Reports were circula ted this morning that the rebels, under For rest, attacked Paducah, Kentucky, fifty miles above here, yesterday, and burned part of the town; but as the telegraphic communication was cut off, no authentic information could he obtained, The steamer Satan, from Nashville, pass ed Paducah at 5 o'clock, this morning, and steamer Joseph Pearce, which passed two hours later, brings the following account of the affair; Forrest, with an estimated force of 5,000 men, captured the place at 2 o'clock yester day afternoon, and sacked and lired the city. Col. Hicks, commanding the post, occupied the fort below the, city with about 800 men. The rebels made four assaults on the fort, but were repulsed each time. Three of our gun boats 0) onedon tliccity during itaoccupation by the enemy, and much of it was burned, including the Marino railway and the steam er Arizona. The wharf boat and about o,* 000 inhabitants of the city moved across the river upon learning the approach of the reb els. When the Pearce passed at 7 o’clock this morning the enemy had left and the people were returning to. the city. The fires were dying out. The amount of public and pri vate property captured is not known at pres ent. but it is supposed to bo large. Our loss was twelve killed and forty woun ded. From one hundred and fifty to three hundred rebels arc reported killed, and among them General Thompson. Twenty-five houses around the fort wore desteroyed by mu* troops, they being used as a screen for the rebel sharpshooters. JHurrifb.
