THE LATEST WAR NEWS.
A' dispatch from Murfreesboro dated 22nd,
says : " Gen. Stanley, with a portion of two
brigades of cavalry, surprised the camp of the
Ist Alabama regiment and the Bth Confeder
ate Cavalry, iu the viciuity of Middletowu.—
Oar forces were divided and sent arouud to
attack the rebels in the flank and rear,but the
advance guard becoming impatient, they dash
ed alone and unsupported into the midst of
the enemy's camp, putting to flight 1,000 reb
el cavalry. Eight rebels were killed, 90 pris
oners taken, and 200 horses captured. The
camp of the enemy, including the arms thrown
away by them, was destroyed. Our loss was
two or three slightly wounded."
On Tuesday morning two detachments of
the 3d Regulars left Memphis, by different
roads, in search of a baud of guerrillas. A
few miles out the two detachments came iu
collisiou, each mistaking the other for guer
rillas. They immediate l ' commenced firing
upon one and other, and kept it up till one
party retreate'd. It is reported that seven
were killed outright. A uumber were wound
ed, one of whom has since died.
The only rebel forces in Kentucky are mov
ing bodies of guerrillas, but the rebels are pre
paring for an invasion in June. Morgan has
left bis-command at Montieello, and gone to
Sparta, Tenn. Pegram's forces are still be
tween the Cumberland and Montieello Va
rious reports say that Price is moving toward
the Mississippi River,and had at last accounts
erossed the Arkansas. Marmaduke is said to
have joined him.
The United States steam transport Ellen S
Terry, from Newbern, N. C , May 20, aud
Hatteras Inlet, 21, with mails and passengers,
arrived at New York on Sunday. She brought
250 men belonging to the 3d New York Ar_-
tillery, whose time has expired, and also a
number of other passengers. There was uoth
ing new at Newbern.
FOREIGN NEWS. —The emigration of Irish to
the United States is now so extensive that, in
stead of four steamers leaving Cork harbor
each fortnight, there will be seven in the same
space of time, for some months. A4ate let
ter from Cork says :—" The Inman Company
have increased their saiiings by an additional
vessel fortnightly, and the Cnnard Company
has advertised its intention of starting an ex
tra steamer every second week. In addition
to this increased conveyance, the Montreal
Ocean Company will this month resume its
trade between Europe (via Queenstown) and
Canada. Next week the CuuarJ Company
will despatch the steamship Sidon from Liv
erpool on Tuesday, and Queenstown on
Wednesday. Ou Wednesday aud Friday the
steamships City of Baltimore and Kankaroo,
belonging to the Inmau Company, will leave
Liverpool and the following days Queenstown,
atid on Sunday the Cunard steamship will leave
Cork harbor." Saunders' News Letter , of
Dublin, a British torv organ, remarks oa this:
" From the facts which have lately transpired
it is not expected that there will bo any fur
tber consular denials that this increase of
transport is demanded by the enlistment of
young men in Ireland for service in the Unit
ed States army." The Tuarn Herald , speak
ing of the exodns, says :—" The exodus of the
people from Mayo and froai this county (Gal
way) is becoming every week more extensive.
Whether for good or for evil, the stream con
tinues to swell and flow on uninterruptedly,
and the emigrants may now be reckoued by
hundreds from some localities." A Dundalk
paper says : " No less thau one thousaud em
igrants passed through Dundalk last week on
their way to America and Australia. They
are rushing out of the country as if to avoid
some terrible disaster." The Western Star
remarks :—" We have never known so many
people to leave this district withiu a week as
from Sunday to the present. On Sunday long
lines of cars, laden with emigrants and their
friends, arrived in Bullinasloe, the former leav
ing by the evening train. On Monday and
Tuesday there were similar arrivals—nearly all
well dressed and comfortably looking young
men and women, evidently belonging to the
class of small farmers. The destination of
these people is generally New York." The
Clare (Ireland) Advertiser of the 13th of May
aays : " We wituessed a novel feature on last
Monday. The trade band of the town, 'in
full fig,'escorting the emigrauts to the quay,
playing ' Patrick's Day,' ' Garryowen,' 'White
Cockade,' &c., in dashing style, and with such
a martial air as wonld be highly interesting to
an American recruitiug sergeant, if he happen
cd to be present. A crowd of over three
thousaud persons cheered for America, aud
groaned the British government.
\ an Dorn's staff have published a
card statiug that the General was shot in his
own room by Dr. Peters. He was shot in the
back of the head, while writing at his table.
There had been a friendly conversation be
tween the parties scarcely fifteen minutes be
fore the uufortunate occurrence. Gen. Van
D orn bad never seen the daughter of h's mur
derer but once,and his acquaintance with Mrs.
Peters was such as to couvice his staff officers,
who had every opportunity of knowing, that
there was uo improper intimacy between
them.
\
THE PAYMENT OF CAPTAINS OF COMPANIES. —
We understand uncfficially, that an order has
been received in this city, from the War De
partment, to the effect, that the accounts of
Captains of companies of the men now beiug
mustered or hereafter to be mustered out of
the service of the army, shall not be settled
by paymasters, until the accounts of each offi
cer have beeu approved and settled by the
Ordinance Bureau, in Washington. It is al
leged that great negligence has been shown
by many officers in the enforcement of prop
er care among the men under their command
of arms belonging to the Government. In or
der to correct the evil, all Captains are to be
held strictly responsible for such arms, and
until their accounts are properly adjudicated
by the Ordinance Bureau, the amount due
them ou their pay rolls will be withheld by
the Government.
Preparations for the practical applica
tion of the Conscript Act are now rapidly go
ing forward. The necessity for a large reserve
force to sustain the offensive operations of our
armies is so apparent that little time must be
lost in providing it. The machinery is nearly
all prepared, and efforts will be made to have
a sufficient number of men drafted, organized
aud somewhat prepared to take the field early
in the fall. Meanwhile the terms of service
of many of the volunteer regiments will expire
and our present army will be somewhat re
duced in strength. This will increase the need
of reinforcements. If public confidence and
enthusiasm are sustained by the progress of the
National arrives, there will be little ornodiffi
cnlty encountered io supplying them with any
quantity of the materials of war.
agy Vailandighnm arrived at Murfreesboro
by special traiu on Sunday evening. Yester
day he was sent by flag of truce to Bragg's
lines at Shelbyville. He was very cheerful,
and on taking leave of his escort told them
that he was a loyal citizen of the United
States. He made the same remark to Col.
Webb of the Bth Alabama, to whom he was
banded over. The Colonel told him he had
read his speeches, but did not I'be him; he
would, however, permit him to remaiu at his
post until the pleasure of the authorities should
be known. It seems doubtful if the Rebels
will receive him; but he was given to under
staud that if he returned to the Union lines
the original sentence of imprisonment would
be promptly carried out.
THE PENNSYLVANIA RESERVES.—Brig. Gen.
Crawford has been relieved by an order of the
War Department from the Millitary Commis
sion, and assigned to duty under Major Gen.
Heintzelman, for the command of the division
koown as the Pennsylvania Reserves. Gen.
Seymour takes place of Gen. Crawford in the
Commission. The assignment was made at the
request of the Governor of Pennsylvania, in
consideration of General Crawford's former
efficient services and fine soldierly qualities,
lie was with Anderson during the bombard
ment of fort Sumter, Banks in the Shenan
doah Valley and Cedar Mountain, and wlrle
commanding the first division after Mauefield
fell, was severely wounded at Autietam.
COPPERHEADS DRILLING IN ILLINOIS—The
Springfield(lll.) Journal learns that about
300 rebel sympathizers, fully armed, met at
Dobsoo's Prairie, about twelve miles from
Marshall, in Clark county, May 9th, for drill*
and parade. They were instructed in the ex
ercise by two men—one belonging to Morgan's
gang, and the other to Gen. Price's army—
and gave evidence that they were fully ac
quainted with military tactics. Parties of
Copperheads have been holding meetings and
drilling at Castlefin, six miles north of Mar
shall ; aUo at Martinsville. The meeting on
Saturday seemed to be a concentration of the
forces for parade, etc.
KILLED BY EXPOSURE—The Copperhead de
monstration in New York on the subject of
Vallandigbam's arrest, was altogether too
much for the respectable opponents of the ad
ministration. The vulgarity, seditious rant
acdjll-disguised treason there displayed appear
already to have created a healthy reaction in
favor of supporting the government at all haz
ards, until this rebellion is crushed and its
Northern sympathizers receive their just de
sert in the shape of everlastiug ignoray, at the
bar of souud public opiniou. These dema
gogues have been clamoring for free speech,
and now that is the very thing that has un
done them.
The steamer Delta, from St. Thomas
May 15, and Bermuda 19th, arrived at Hali
fax on Monday. The U. S. gunboats Vand
erbilt, Wachusetts, Alabama, Oneida, and
Chippewa, were in port at St. Thomas ; also,
U. S. ship Shepherd Knapp, and U. S. bark
Gemsbok. The bark Lucy Frances, Colby,
brigs West, GuildrandsoD, and C. H. Frost,
Bennett, were iD port, discharging coal for
the U. S. Government.
A despatch from Murfreesboro dated
Monday confirms the previous reports that the
rebels are falling back all along their lines,
and that only a very small force was between
that city and Duck river. The rebel cavalry
General Forrest, had gone with his command
to Mississippi. The rebel force at Tullaboma
is said to number 5,300 men, cavalry aod in
fautry.
A despatch from Cincinnati states that
the enemy crossed the Cumberland river ou
Monday at Fishing Creek and Hartford, Ky.,
and after some skirmishing with our troops,
were driven back
The Capture of Vicksburg.
WASHINGTON, May 24.
Official details of the battle of Black Riv
er.
MEMPHIS, Ten n., May 23, 11 30 A. M.
To Hon. E. iff. Sta iton, Secretary of War :
The following dispatch has been received at
these headquarters, and is forwarded as re
quested :
S. A. HURLBUT.
Major General.
VICKSBURO , May 20.
Gen. Grant won a great and momenteous
victory over the rebels under Gen. Pemberton
on the Jackson and Vicksburg railroad, at
Baker's Creek on the 16lh inst.
Gen Pemberton had a most formidable po
sition on the crest of a wooded hill on which
the road passes longitudinally. He had about
25,000 men.
The battle began 11 o'clock A. M , and was
gained at 4 o'clock p. M. Its brunt was borne
by Gen. Hovey's division and McClernard's
corps, and by Logan's and Crocher's of Me-
Pherson's.
Gen. Hovey attacked the hill and held the
gfpater part of it till 2PM, when having lost
1,600 men he was succeeded by Boomer's and
Holmes's brigade of Crochers' division, by
which the eouflict was ended in that part of
the field.
Gen. Boomer lost 500 men.
Gen. Logan operated on the right and cat
off the enemy's direct, retreat, so that he was
compelled to escape by his right flank through
the woods.
General Logan lost fonr hundred killed and
wounded; we took about teu thousand pris
ODera.
On the 171h, advancing to the Big Black,
we fought Pemberton again at the bridge
there, and captured three thousond prisoners.
He fought in rifle pits protected by a diffi
cult bayou full ofabattis. Gen Lawless' bri
gard of Mt-Clernand's corps, charged the rifle
pits magnificently, and took more prisouers
than their own numbers.
General Pi mb°rton burned his bridge and
returned to Vicksburg with only three cannon
out of sixty that he had taken out, building
four bridges over the Big Black. Gcr.. Grant
arrived before the town on the evening of the
18th, and now holds it closely invested. He
had opened a line of supplies via Chickasaw
Bayou, having cut the town off from Haines'
Bluff, which is abandoned by the euemy and
which Gen. Giant will occupy.
There was sharp lighting through the day
yesterday Gen Steele now holds the upper
blnff and the enemy's upper water l attery,and
gets water from the Mississippi
Gen Sherman's corps lost yesterday five
hundred killed and wounded
General McPherson, who holds the centre,
lost little as did General McClernatid, who
holds the left.
The gunboats kept the enemy alert during
the uight, and probably the town will be car
ried to-day. There are Iroin 0 teen to twenty
thousand men in it.
OFFICIAL DESPATCH TO THF PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, May 24. 11 o'clock A. M.
To-dav the President received the following
telegraphic announcement that " Vicksburg
is ours."
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 24.
A dispatch from Mr. Fuller, the telegraph
manager at Memphis, late last night, said that
the Stars and Stripes now float over Vicks
burg, and the victory is complete.
I ImVe held this message, hoping fo get the
confirmation, but. the line has been inteirupt
ed and I now give it to you as it reached me.
I think the line will be all right soon.
Arrival of Gen. Banks at ftiexandria.
WASHINGTON, May 23.
The Navy Department has received the
following from the Mississippi squadron :
FLAG SHIP, GENERAL PRICE, [
GRAND GLLF, Miss., May 23, 1-63. )
SIR : I hod the honor to inform you
from Alexandria of the capture of that
place and the forts defending the ap
proaches to the city hy the naval forces under
my command Twenty-four hours after we
arrived, the advance guard of the United
Slates came into the city, and General Banks
arriving soon after, I turned the place over to
his keeping.
The water begining to fall, I deemed it pru
dent to return with the largest vessels to the
mouth of the Red river. I dropped down to
the forts De Rusey in the Benton, and under
took to destroy those works.
1 only succeeded, however, in effectually de
stroying the three heavy casemates command
ing the channel, and a small water battery lor
ten guns, about six hundred yards below it.
I also destroyed by bursting,one heavy thir
ty two pounder, and some gun cajriages left in
their hurry by the enemy The main fort is
on a hill some 900 yards from the water. I
was unable to attend to it. It is quite an ex
tensive work, quite new aud incomplete, but
built with much labor and pains. It will take
two or three vessels to puil it to pieces.
I had not the powder to spare to blow it
up. The vessels will be ordered to work at it
occasionally aud it will soon be destroyed.
In the last mentioned fort was mounted tbe
II inch guii, which I am led to believe lies in
the middle of the river, near the fort, there
bels throwing it overboard in their pauic at
the approach of the gunboats.
The raft which closed the entrance I have
blown up, sawed in two and presented to the
poor of the neighborhood.
I sent Commander Wood worth,in the Price,
with the Switzerland, Pittsburg and Arizona
up the Black river to make a reconnoisanee.
Commander Woodworth destroyed a large
amouut ofstores valued at three hundred thou
sand dollars, consisting of salt, sugar, rum,
molasses, tobacco and bacon. _

Acting Rear Admiral,
Commanding tbe Mississippi Squadron.
Alexandria is a post village, and the cap
ital of Rapides parish, Louisiana, on Red riv
er, 350 miles bv water W. N. W. from New
Orleans, aud 150 miles bv the course of the
river from its mouth. Stearahoats ply fre
quently at all seasons bet ween this town and
New Orleans, and they can also ascend many
miles further. The village is pleasantly situ
ated on a plain in the centre of a rich cotton
growing region. Population abont 600.
In apportioning the draft, says the
N. Y. Evening Post , credit will be given to
each State for the uumber of troops already
furnished, but three years' men will be con
sidered as equivalent to only two regiments,
and four regiments of nine months' mcu to
oue regiment of three years' mcu.

BAP FAITH. —The rebels at Fredericksburg
sent a flag of truce to our line 3 after the re
cent battles, requesting that surgeons and
nurses be sent over to take care of our woun
ded left on the battle field ; but when our
surgeons and stewards reached the opposite
side of the river, they were not permitted to
visit the sick, but were told that they were
not sent for, and if they did not speedily re
turn,they would themselvs be put under guard.
Not satisfied with this, the perfidious rebels
seized the hospital stores oor people took with
thern. They said they had captured surgeons
enough to look after our wounded.
