Stembel ; the St. Louis, Lieuteuant command
ing Paulding; the Conestoga, Lieutenant com

rapid fire of one hour and a quarter, have cap
tured Fort Heury, and have taken General
Lloyd Tilghmau and his staff, with sixty meo,
as prisoners.
The surrender to the gnnboats was uncon
ditional, as we kept an open fire npon the
enemy until their flag was struck.
In half an hoar after the surrender I handed
the Fort and prisoners over to General Grant,
oommaodiDg the army, on his arrival at the
Fort in force.
The Essex had a shot in her boilers, after
fighting most effectually for two thirds of the
action, and was obliged to drop down the river.
1 hear that several of her meu were seaided to
death, including the two pilots.
She, with the other gunboats, officers and
men, fought with the greatest gallantry.
The Cincinnati received fcliuiy-oue shots,anu
had one man killed and eight wounded, two
seriously.
The Fort, with twenty guns and seventeen
mortars, was defended by General Tilghmau
with the most determined gallantry.
I will write as soon as possible.
I have sent Lieuteuant commanding Phillips
And three gnnboats after the rebel gunboats.

DETAILS OF THE BATTLE.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 7, 18C2.
The Gazette and Commercial's Cairo corres
pondence gives the following account of the
bombardment and capture of Fort Henry
Yesterday, at half-past twelve p. M., the srun
boats Cincinnati, St. Louis, Carondelet and
Essex, the Tyler, Conestoga and Lexington
bringiug up the rear, advanced boldly against
the rebel works, going to the right of Panther
Creek Island, immediately above, where, cn
fbs' east shore of the river, stands the fortifi
cations, and beeping oat of rango till at the
head of the island and withing a mile of the
enemy passiDg the island in full view of the
rebel guus. We steadily advanced,every man !
at quarters, every ear strained to catch the :
flag officer's signal gun for the commencement
of the action. Our line of battle was on the
left of the St. Louis, next the Carondelet,next
the Cincinnati (for the time being the flagship,
having on board Flag Officer Foote) and the
next the Essex.
We advanced in line,the Cincinnati a boat's
length ahead, when, at half past eleven, the
Cincinnati opened the ball, and immediately ,
the three accompanying boats followed snit. j
The enemy was not backward and gave an ,
admirable response, and the fight raged furi- ,
onsly for half an hour. We steadily advanced, j
receiving and returning the storms of shot and J
she'll, wheß.getting within three hundred yards I (
of the enemy's works, we canoe to a stand and j
poured into hirn right and left. In the mean-. j
time the Essex had been disabled, and drifted I ]
away from the scene of action, leaving the (
OisfCioaati, Carondelet, and St. Louis alone |
engaged.
At precisely forty minate9 past one o'clock
the enemy strutk his colors, and such cheering,
such wild excitement as seized the throats,
arms {or caps of the four or fire hundred I
sailors of the gunboats, can be imagined.
After the surrender,which was made to Flag
Officer Foote by General Lloyd Tilghman,who
defended his Fort in a most determined man
ner, we found that the rebel infantry, encamp
ed outside the Fort, numbering four or five
thousand, had cut and run, leaving the rebel
artillery company in command of the Fort.
The Fort mounted seventeen gens, most of
them thirty-two and thirty-four pounders, one
being a magnificent ten inch columbiad. Onr
shots dismonnted two of their guns,driving the
enemy into the embrasures. One of their ri
fled thirty-two pouDders burst during the en
gagement, woanding some of their gunners.—
The rebels claimed to have but eleven effective
guns, worked by fifty-four men—the number
all told of our prisoners. They lost five killed
and ten badly wounded.
The infantry left everything in their flight.
A vast deal of plunder has fallen into our
bands, incladicga large and valuable quantity
of ordnance stores.
Gen. Tilghmaa is disheartened. He thinks
it One of the most damaging blows of the war.
In surrending to Flag Officer Foote the rebel
General remarked, " I am glad to surrender to
so gallant an officer.' Flag Officer Foote re
plied, " You do perfectly right, sir, in surren
dering ; but you should have blown my boats
out of the water before I would have surren
dered to you."
In the engagement the Cincinnati was in the
lead, and, flyiog the flag officer's pennant,
was the chief mark. Flag Officer Foote and
Captain Stembel crowded ber defiantly into
the teeth of the enemy's guns. She got thirty
one shots, some of them going completely
through her. The Essex was badly crippled
when aboat half through the fight, and crowd
ing steadily against the enemy. A bail went
into her side forward port, thrsugh her heavy
bulkhead, and squarely through one of her
boilers, the escapiug steam scalding and killing
several of the crew. Captain Porter, his aid,
C. P. Brittou, Jr., and Paymaster Lewis were
standing in a direct line of the balls passing,
Air. Brittou being in the ceutre of the group.
A shot struck Mr. Britton on the top of his
head, scattering bis brains in every direction.
The escapiug steam went into tbe pilot bouse,
instantly Killing Messrs. Ford and Bride, pilots.
Maoy of the soldiers at the rush of steam
jumped over board and were drowned.
The Cincinnati had cue killed and six wound
ed. The Essex had six seamen and two offi
cers killed, seventeen men wounded aud five
missing. There were uo casualties ou the St.
Louis or Caroudelet, though the shot and shell
fell upou them like rain. The St. Louis was
commanded by Leonard Paulding, who stood
upon the gunboat a .na worked the gone to the
last.
Brilliant and Successful Skirmishing with
the Rebel Cavalry.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7,1862.
A Cavalry Regiment attached to General'
Smith's division accomplished a brilliant re
cdnnoisance this morning. In their absence
they killed one rebel and wounded several, be
sides capturing sixteen prisoners, twelve horses
and one wagon. The following is a detailed
account of the reconnoisance :
At four o'clock eleven companies of the
Cameron dragoons, Col. Friedman, started in
the direction of Germantown, about a mile and
a half from Fairfax Court House. It was the
intention to make a thorough examination of
the enemy's picket Noes ontside the division
boundaries. Owing to the early hour of start
ing, and secrecy and silence of the advance,
they surprised a rebel picket detachment at a
house near Germantown. Surrounding the
house they took twelve prisoners, a capture
effected, however, not without some show of
resistance on the part of the enemy. Over a
dozen shots were fired from the house at oar
men. Captain Wilson was hit by one shot in
the right ear, the ball passing through and
making an ugly but not dangerous wound in
the back of the neck. Sergeant Crnmley was
shot in the right leg, causing a painful but not
serious flesh wound. These were the only shots
of the enemy that took effect.
While this firing was goiDg on, a large com
pany of mounted pickets, some of whom had
escaped from the house, fled to a thicket near
by and opened 'fire upon our troops. Major
Curry, placing his revolver at the head of one
of the captured prisoners, called out to the
men in the thicket if they fired another shot
he would blow out the brains of every prison
er taken. This bold threat stopped the firing,
and caused the rebels to plunge spurs into their
horses and b?at a rapid retreat across an open
field.
] j Subsequently, upon looking into the vacant
j j wood, the body of a dead rebel was found,
I which, in their retreating haste, they had left,
j One of the prisoners gave the name of the de
, ceased as William Birbanks, and his residence
as Burnwell Court House, N. C. He says
that the deceased was a lawyer and belonged
j to one of the wealthiest and most influential
families in that place. This was the only rebel
killed, so far as known. From traces of blood
it was evident that several had been severely
wounded. Besides the twelve prisoners, eight
horse were taken.
Our cavalry proceeded to convey their pris
oners aod booty to the division headquarters
On the return the companies got separated.—
One squadron, under command of Captain
O'Farrell, elated by their recent splendid per
formance, determined to make a dash towards
Fairfax Court House on their own hook. They
had not advanced far before they had the sat
isfaction of taking four prisoners, one wagon
ana four horses. The men surrendered with
out opposition.
HaviDg learned of theifcove encounter with
I the enemy's pickets, the Fourteenth regiment
| New York Volunteers, Col. McQuade, of Gen.
Morrell's brigade, was at once despatched to
I the aid of our men. At the sound of the
"long roll" the regimeut formed in Hue with
an alaerity and enthusiasm niark.'og its call
to evening parade. The prospect of lively
work with the enemy roused an earnestness
of spirits and eagerness to march to the
scene of action that shows more than words
can convey the splendid discipline and readi
ness to fight of any regiment of our Potomac
army, whenever called to do battle. The reg
iment, headed by its gallant Colonel and field
and line officers, was quickly on the march to
support the cavalry. On their arrival at the
sceue of action, a loDg and wearisome march,
considering the state of the weather and mud,
all the fighting was over, and all they had to
do was to march back aga'm, which they did
in good order, although greatly disappointed in
not having had a chance to try their newiifles
against the enemy.
The orisoners, horses and wagons were all
conveyed to General Smith's headquarters.—
Both companies If prisoners belonged to the
Second regiment of .North Carolina cavalry.
They looked as thongn they had not been over
well fed, and their dress is as diversified
in color, fabric and appearance f _.®

THE SOUTHERN' CONSPIRACY. —Thirty year 3
ago the nullifiers of South Carolina conceived
a plan for breaking up the Luion, similar to
that revived by the conspirators at Charleston
last winter. The echeme progressed until the
11th of December, 1831, when President Jack
sou exploded it by a bombshell in the shape of
a proclamation, with a declaration that he
would hang every traitor, if they did Bot re
turn to their allegiance. Before old Hickory !
interposed the President, Vice President and
members of cabinet for a new Provisional Gov
ernment had been selected, as follows :
President—John C. Calhoun.
Vice President—William C. Preston.
Secretary of State—George McDuffie.
Secretary of the Treasury—Thomas Cooper.
Secretary of War—James Hamilton, Jr.
Secretary of the Navy—ll. L. Pickney.
Postmaster General—Robert Turnbnll.
Attorney General—Robert G. Ilayne.
The Southern Confederacy was to have been
iuaugurated, and the above named gentlemen
duly installed in their respective offices by a
South Carolina Convention, which had been
called to meet on the first day of March, 18S3 ;
but President Jackson spoiled their fun.
AN AFFLICTED FAMILY. —The family of Mr.
Jacob Gerhart, of Hamburg, B ,-rks county,
has been singularly afflicted during the past
fortnight. In the first place, four promising
grand children, the children of his son-in-law,
Jesse Hein, of Windsor township, died within
two weeks, of the throat disease that is so
fatal in its ravages in that neighborhood. One,
a daughter, twelve years old, was buried aboat
two weeks ago, and on Thursday last, the
three others, aged rtspectively, 19, 17, and 5
years, were laid in oue grave; while another
child of the same parents were lying hopelessly
i ill. The next sorrow occurred to his son,
Tobias Gerhart, a much respected resident of
Perry township, whose mind became so deeply
j affected by trouble and misfortune, that it was
found necessary to take bira to the State As
sylum at Harrisbnrg ; aud on the very morn
ing that the father went on his way there, one
of his children, a grown-up daughter, died of
throat disease. These are indeed sore trials,
for a single family.
JSyThe Rev. Joshua Welles, the oldest
miuistcr of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
died at Baltimore on the 25th uii., in the
■ ninety eighth year of his age.

THE SPEECH OF SENATOR WILMOT.
The West Branch Bulletin, of the Bth inst.,
in speaking of Senator WILMOT'S speech in ref
erence to the expulsion of Senator BRIGHT,
says :—We wrsh we had room for the able
and pointed speech of Senator WII.MOT deliver
ed in the U. S. Senate on the question of the
treasonable correspondence of Jesse D. BRIGHT,
United States Senator from Indiana. The
suspected and confessed complicity of Bright,
with the slaveholders' rebellion, his avowed
extreme sentiments on the subject of secession,
and other onmistakable proof, has made it a
matter of surprise that the circumstances of
his case should have been a matter of debate
among grave and loyal Senators. Senator
WILMOT is of the same opinion, because be
treats tbe matter with brevity evincing his
impatience at the delay of the expulsion.—
His speech is forcible and argumentative. He
deals iu facts there is no denying, to justify
the expulsion of BRIGHT. In this respect, this
speech has an attraction which will make it
very popular with the people of Pennsylvania,
the great majority of whom favor its objects
and respond to its sentiments.
LATEST WAR NEWS.
The well matured plans of General M'Cle'.-
lan are being worked out in rapid succession
I by the able officers who command the differ
j ent divisions of the army and navy in the iu
| terior and on the coast. The capture of Fort
i llenry, on the Tennessee river, at two o'clock
' on Thursday, by the guuboats under command
of Commodore Foot—of which we publish an
official account from the Commodore to the
Navy Department, is a most important snc
cess. The fort was defended gallantly by the
commaudant, General Lloyd Tilghman, and
his forces. The fort mounted twenty guns
and seventeen mortars. General Tiighmau
aud his staff, together with one Colonel, two
captains and 6ixtv men, were taken prisoners.
The battle was aasentially a naval one, the
troops t of General McCleruand and Graut
not having been called upon to participate.—
The gunboats Essex, Carondelat, Cincinnati,
St. Louis, Taylor aud Lexington, did the
whole business. After a fight of an hour and
a quarter the fort surrendered unconditionally,
and Commodore Foote handed it over to Geu.
Grant immediately upon the arrival of that
officer—half an honr afterjthe flag was struck
The Essex was the only gunboat seriously in
jured, a shot haviug goue through her boilers,
causing death to many of her crew by scalding.
The Cincinnati received thirty-one shots,wound
ing eight men and killing one.
Our dates from the liurnside Exped ion,
are to Wednesday morning a week, when, af
ter many distressing drawbacks, the fleet left
for Roanoke Island, full of courage and con
fident of success. Deserters tct our side report
that our delay iu getting ou had been improv
ed by the rebels to put 8,000 men and 50
pieces of cannon in position on the island. —
The stories of a general panic on the
and the drafting of all able-bodied men into
the service of Jeff. Davis continue to be re
ceived. The telegraph from Fortress Mon
roe reports that a lady, who came by the flag
of truce from Craney Island, on Saturday,was
that day iuformed by General Huger that he
had received a dispatch from Roanoke Island
stating that the Union forces had aava need
to the Island, and been twice repulsed. The
attack commenced at 7 o'clock on Friday
morning and was still going on at last advices.
Evidently Gen. Huger's story is got np for
Northern circulation. The probability is that
our gun-boats, under Commodore Goldsbor-
were either reconnoiter'mg or repeating
the lessons in " circle sailing," which Com. 1
DuponJ taugbt them at Port Royal. A tel
egrm daued Norfolk, Saturday, states that a
messenger Arrived that day from Roanoke
Island, with the news that four Union steam
ers were off the Island on Friday night, and
ft large number of vessels twelva miles below.
An attack on Roanoke was hourly expected.
Dispatches from Memphis and New-Orleans
on the 7th, announce the full of Fort Henry
at the hands of the Union forces. Our nnm
bers iu the affair are reported at 20,000. The
rebels are evidently becoming so scared that
they magnify every Union man into a multi
tude. The rebel troops at Fort Henry are
reported to have gone to Fort Donelson, on
the Cumberland, pursued by our troops, where
we daily expect to hear that they have been
engaged by the expedition from Smithland, ;
under Gen. Wallace. A despatch from Indi
anapolis states that Gen. Thomas's division is j
said to have moved forward in Tennessee iD
three columns, by different routes, marching
upon Knoxville. Oar gunboats are at Dan-j
villa, TenU., above the fort, where we have
disabled the railroad bridge, and prevented
the passage of trains. The country people
were fleeing iu all directions. We have taken
eight guns, brass six-pounders, and over sl,
000,000 worth of property. A reconnoissance
within one mile ol Fort Donelson, had been
|
mad by Col. Logau and others, and on Sat
urday afternoon Gen. Grant and staff would
reconnoiter beyound Danville. A battery of
light artillery, and 1,500 cavalry left St. Loois
for Fort Heury on Saturday.
From Missouri©, we have intimations that
.
an important combined movement is to take
place, toward the enemy. General Sigel and
Asbotb's Division had reached Mebanon, 40
miles from Spring Geld; and Maj. Wright's
Battalion of Cavalry has moved thirteen miles
west of that point. Gen. Davis's Brigade was
reported to be crossing the Osage ou Wednes
day, and a portion of it was expected at Le
banon on Thursday. Price is said to have told
his troops that they were surrounded, and
must fight or surrender. They chose the for
mer. The rebel chief has been, it is said,
heavily re enforced from Arkansas, and has
collected a large store of supplies on the road
from Springfield to Fayetteville. Capt Wood
had arrived at Fayetteville 25 rebel prisoners,
including five Captains, taken between Lcban
ou and Springfield.
Four hundred and ninety two Union pris
oners left New Orleans on the 6th for North
Carolina, to be exchanged.
From Norfolk we learn that the rebel steam
ram Merrimac, which was expected to demol
ish the Union fleet at the ltoads, tarns out a
failure. It appears that she siuks down too
low in the water, being 200 tuns heavier than
her adapters counted npon. Ilence she is good
for nothiug except as a stationery battery. —
She was also badly hogged, from an accident
in getting her into the dry dock again,and the
Norfolk editors are scolding their Richmond
confreres for letting out the disagreeable
news.
ARREST OF GEN. STONE.
Brig.-Gen. STONE was arrested at the resi
dence of his family, in Washington, on Satur
day night last, and kept under guard until the
9th inst., when ho was removed to Fort La
fayette.
The following statement of the charges
against Gen. Stone emanates from the W T ar
Department, copies of it having been furnish
ed to the different representatives of the New
York press. Gen Stone was arrested while
in bed at 2 o'clock in the morning. The sub
stance of the charges agaiust Gen. STONE is as
ft Hows :
First : For misbehavior at 'the battle of
Ball's Bluff.
Second : For holding correspondence with
the enemy before and since the battle of Ball's
Bluff, and receiving visits from rebel officers iu
I his camp.
Third : For treacherously suffering the en
my to build a fort or stronghold since the bat
tle of Bali's Bluff, uuder his guns, without mo
lestation.
Fourth : For a treacherous desigu to expose
his force to capture and destrucliou by the
enemy, under pretense of orders for a
movement from the Commanding General
which had not been giveu.
A Court Martial will be speedily ordered.
The arrest of Gen. STONE was made without
consultation with or the knowledge of Gen
McCLELUAN.asit was made without the privity
or assent of the Secretary of State.
Important from the South.
We have received, byway of Fortress Mon
roe, a variety of interesting and important in
telligence from the rebel States.
The rebel troops at Norfolk are being rap
idly sent South, as far as Mobile.
Drafting will commence iu the rebel States
on the Ist of March.
Gen. Beauregard is at Nashville.
Bishop Ames and Hon. Hamilton Fish will
not be received by the rebel Government.
Au order was issued from the War Depart
ment at Richmond, on the 4th iust., ordering
all military commanders to impress all the salt
petre found in their districts, except such as is
in the hands of original manufacturers, and
GoTernmcnt agents and contractors, paying
ther D . f or forty cents per pound and no more.—
The order . ;s:suC( l consequence of the
monopoly of speculators a "d the exorbitant
rates charged the Ot for the article.
Tbe Richmond Dispatch sujs toe' the Mis
souri difficulty has been satisfactory arranged,
and adds, that Gen I'i ice will,, doubtless, be
commissioned a Major-General, and the Mis
souri troops received into the Confederate ser
vice as twelve months' volunteers.
The Virginia Legislature went into secret
session on the 4th inst., for ttie pu pose of
considering an important communication from
the Governor, in regard to which, it is under
stood, the State and Confederate authorities
are entirely agreed. Its purport will not trans
pire at present.
The Richmond IHspalch also says, in an ed
itorial, that: "Spain is the natural ally of the
South. If the South has had a friend, from
the beginning of her troubles, it has been Spain.
We thiuk it due to her generous and chival
rous people to have sent representatives to the
Spanish Court, and thereby laid broad and
deep the foundations of permanent and close
amity with that nation. It is not too late now
to rectify the omission, which was not dictated
by any want of courtesy."
The Philadelphia Inquirer has received a
dispatch stating that a riot eccurred at Rich
mond on Tuesday night ; that it was supposed
martial law would be proclaimed, aud that
during the disturbance cheers for the Union
were given.
jg*ay A touching event lately occurred in
England on the banks of the Thames, near
London, which illustrates the faithfulness aud
sagacity of the dog. A .young gentleman,
possesed of a fine dog, but for some unexplain
ed cause wishing to get rid of him took a
punt, into which he put the animal rowed to
the middle of the stream, and threw the dog
into it with the intention of drowning hiai.—
The animal tried several times, till almost
weAried, to climb up the perpendicular sides
of the boat, but was as often pushed back by
the master. Finally the latter overbalancing
himself, fell overboard ; as soon as the faith
ful dog saw his master in the water, be ceased
his efforts to save himself, seized him by the
clothes, and in that position held him till as
sistance was rendered, by means of which the
life of the unrelenting master was saved.
EXPULSION OF JESSF D. BRIGHT. —The Sen
ate on the sth inst., expelled Mr. Jesse. D.
Bright of Indiana, by the decisive vote of
32 to 14—most of the Republicans voting
with the more determined Unionists of other
shades to expel. His offense consisted in
writing, on the Ist of March last, a letter to
" The Hon. Jefferson Davis, President of the
Confederate States," recommending to him a
Mr. Thomas H. Lincoln as no inventor of a
valuable improvement in fire arms.
