Potomac, under dated March 1 f
It would seem that General Sedgwick was sent
to tbe extreme left of the enemy to engage his at
tention, and.diverthis yigilance from the Bapidan
fords. Kilpatrick seizing advantage of this crosses
the river and proceeds t 6 make a v rapid detour to
the southwest of the enemy* a main positions,
around Orange Court House and Gordonsville',
while Custar. swings rapiidly around the extreme
right of Sedgwick, via Madison Court House and
Stanardsville. . . v ;
. Cur latest information from. Kilpatrick was tip
to 8o? clock yesterday morning, when he was re
ported to be at Spottsylvahia, and on the trot.
Of Custar, we nave positive knowledge that his
long lines of cavalry dashed rapidly thxough
Madison Conrt House before daylight yesterday
morning.
It is reasonably conjectured by a Tribune special '
/who left the Court House at noon, that Cas tar had
engaged thexnemy at lo’ clock;/or a heavy cari- t
nonading was heard at that hour in the direction,
of Orange Court House, and it continued up to
dark. V.
‘ ‘Beta’ ’ indulges in tho speculation that Kilpat-j
rick’s movement has for its object the disseminate
tion of the President’s Amnesty Proclamation.
He says that there is no truth in the tumor that the
whole army orany considerable portion has moved
or is about to move.. Deserters and prisoners come *
in freely, out of the movement. In onrdamps, on
Ihe other hand, officers’ wives and children abound,
and arrive as well as depart daily. ..- ,

Arjst op the Potomac, March 1, 1664 —A great
-excitemenrwas started to-day at Brandy Station
and throughout the army by the publication, in
tbeNew-York rimes, of an announcement of the
movements of a part of this army. Tbe result
will be probably the expulsion oi that paper and
its correspondents from the army.
A large rebel mail was captured to-dav at Fair
fax, which filled five large trunks. ' The whole
was covered by a pass from tbe War Department,

detectives circumvented tbe miscreants and led
to. the arrest. The offender was a woman, who

FBOH GENERAL BILL MORE’S DEPARTMENT
The Hilton Head correspondent of the Herald
writes as follows:
On the-21st.u-lt:-an expedition 'consisting of the
ESth Pennsylvania, a detachment of the 67th Ohio
and the Ith New Hampshire regiment, Col. Bell,
under the command of Col. ’ Howell, proceeded
from'Hilton Head in the steamers Dictator, Capt.
Blanheman, the Mary Burton, the Golden Gate,
the -Mayflower (aimed), Captain Young,
to Whitmarsh Island, to capture a fatigue
party said to be at work - there- bail ding
lntrenchments. The expedition reached Free
man’ s Cnt late at night,and before daylight pnsbed
up towards the scene Of their operations. Captain
Hughes, with his company of the Soih Penn
sylvania Volunteers, was first landed, and sur
prised the rebel picket and put them to - flight, and -
captured fifteen ont of the fifty men that consti
tuted it. The rebels wailed only to give' our linen
one volley, when they broke and ran, with our
, men closely after them. Onr force, ora portion
of it, was put ashore quite rapidly, considering
the defective character ol the boats used on the
occasion. Assoon as a sufficient number was
ashore. Company B, 4th New Hampshire, Captain
Greenleaf, was thrown out as skirmishers, and
Ordered to feel the enemy ’ s position and strength. -
He advanced nearly two miles, and found the
enemy quite strong in the woods, andafter driving
in the enemy’s skirmishers, he found himself in the
presenceof a rebel force o! at least flfte en hundred
men. As soon as this fact was developed, befell
back and joined the command, closely followed by
the enemy. "When the exact state of affairs was
made, known to Colonel Howell, he determined to
embark his command on the transports, and relin
qr.ish the plan of operations, as with hisinferior -
force .he eonld do but little and might possibly be
captured. The eitkmy"pressed on our command; -
as it’was slowly-embarking, and opened are,-
wounding two of our officers and one man.
Colonel Bell ordered companies F- and C,
of the Fourth New Hampshire, to throw
up a temporary rifle pit, and cover its
: front with abattie; behind Which onr.: men were
well protected. This was held until ourmen were
safely on the vessels decks again.. The Mayflower
was busy enough meanwhile in vigorously shell
ing the rebels’ position, and preventing them from
using their artillery as effectually as they may
have desired. The rebels were kept at bay-’until

The? Housatonic .is a second-class screw sloop,

to us that the bottom of a vessel is the

they will do their utmost to strike us where we

to develop this new art in naval warfare. In our

THE SEIZURE OF THE TUSCALOOSA IN
_. ' . SIMON’S BAY.
TheCalcnlta.ftom. the tape of Good Hope, with
dates to Jan. 6, reports; The Confederate cruiser
Tvscaloosa was seized in Simon’s Bay on the *27th
of December by Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker, in
accordance with special instruction* from the En
gliih Government, the alleged grounds for doing to
being that the was still—an uncondemned prize
She is detained until she is claimed by her owners.
Her ctmmsnder has made a protest-against the
capture. .a.
following summary is ftora Th 4 CaU Jtnut
ox Jar. 6: . -
‘‘Since the departure af the mail steamer Cam
ux OI December, the most" Interes tins
•TCntths; ha* occurreA has been, the- seizure, be
the O overnir.ent, nh.ier orders from home, of the
Confederate cruiser Toecalooea, formerly the
i bark Conrad The Tuscaloosa, which was
in Simon s Bay rather more than three months
ago, returned to that port on Saturday, Dec. CS.
Lieut. Lowe, her commander, repor:ed that since
hf-r last visit r .tbe Tuscalons* had- boon craising;
between ilio espe and Brazil, nnd had spoken
-tsrzTly ill) vessel*. Rut of that’number only one'
happened, to he a Federal That one was the ship
Livinp AKe, which having an English cargo o*
board, was released on glTing a bond.
“During her cruise the Tuscaloosa pat into one
of theßrasilian ports for -water and supplies, but
was refused both, in consequence of which her
crew are said to have been placed npon short al
lowance,' Lieut. Lowe hoped on this visit to Si
mon’s Bay to get the bottom of his vessel re-cop
psred; as well as to take m all the supplies he
needed. Bnt hie hopes were doomed to be ditap.
pointed, loronthe day after her arrival Admiral
Mr Baldwin Walker despatched from the flagship
a Lieutenant amt-a hoarding party of 23 men to
take pocsescion of the Tnscaloosa in the Queen’s
name; The officer promptly executed the erders
of the Admiral, and the vessel was seized accord
ingly." Lieut. Lowe lodged with the Admiral a
lonnaj protest against the seizure, which will be
transmitted to the Home Government.
“The United States’ Consul, Mr. Graham,
lodged a claim to the vessel on behalf of her farmer
ownets, and has since been informed by the Gov
ernment. that she will be detain&.until she can be
hr over to them. The point upon-which the
auihoiities at home differ in opinion from Mr:
Denyssen, who was acting Attomey-General, and,
as such, legal adviser of Ihe Government, when
the Tuscaloosa formerly visited th* Cape, is as to
the competency of Captain Semmes to con jemn
pnzes without taking them to a 'regnlarly consti
tuted prize court. Such court Captain Semmc's
claims to constitute on board the Alabama by vir
tne of authority from his Government: and the
quest ion'at issue is, whether that coart, or pre
t* nded court, is a cotart whose decisions' ag
gnevea persons are bound to and
otberjGoyeminents to acknowledge aixd accept. *
• ‘la onr yiefv, the very idea of a court implies
that the persons whose property is to be disposed of
shall have the right of being present and the power
of advocating their cans*. With these conditions
it be said that the conrt held by Captain
Semmes on board the Alabama complies. And his
court, certainly, is not rucha court as the'other
Powers of the world have established. It may be
said that the .circumstances oi tbe Confederate
States are eicepticnnl, and that the coast being.
. blockaded by a superior naval Power, it would be
iropossible ior Cdpt. Semmes to send his prizes for
condetonatioa to a court own country But
that, we take it, is an accident all the unpleasant
consequences of which the Coitfettoutes must sub
mit to; and if Cant. Semmeg’.s court be not such a
court as independent Powersare bound to acknow
ledge and respect, the condemnation was clearly
illegal.
“Upon thatpoint tbe whole case tntns. If the
condemnation was illegal, the conversion of the •
Conrsd into an arhaed cruiseT, and her commission
ae such, were equally so, and she cannot claim in
demnity from seizure as a man of-war. If, on the
other band, it be held that tbe condemnation vnts
sufficient, then is the Tuscaloosa entitled to all the
privileges of a ship of-war, one of which is free
dom irom arrest. , |

A WAK EAGLE IN THE WAR..
A correspondent of the Tirequa (Wis;) Timet.
■ gives The following interesting particulars Of tha
eagle .-‘Old Ate,” of thebth Wisconsin Hee
iment: .. / “
Old Abe is an intelligent bird, and understands
himself. When at liberty to go where he pleases,
the sutler’s lent is,his favorite resort. If any live
chickens are to.be. found, lie is sure to pounce oik
•ne, seizing it with one claw, and hobbling off oa
the other, with the aid of his wings. Old Abe,
we sre sorry to say is quite a thief. There is on«
favorite dog m the regiment with which the ea»le
keeps on good terms. They will both eat together
at the beginning of the meal, but towards tha
cloee, as provisions get scarce, the ea*le will
pitch into the dog and drive him off. Ifaborser
comes within reach. Hr. Eagle is eurebo exhibit
his snpenority over the quadrupedal creation bv
hopping <n to the nag and inserting his talons ux
no i f ly complimentary manner.
Old. Abe manifests his appreciation of ortPorv irr
a very unique manner. * . - .
When a distinguished officer comes alone ana
addresses the troops, he joins with the soldiers in.
their cheers. His method of cheering is to spread,
nis pinions to their utmost extent, and then j imp
np and down on his perch. This mode of applausa.
adopted by the eagle is said to be Terr inspiring ip:
the orator. . , _ ;
Wtun the regiment is engaged in battle, 01d.Ab»
manifests the fiercest delight. At such a time ho
will always ho found in hi* place
the head of company D. To be seen in all
glory, he should he seen, when the regiment is
enveloped in the smoke of battle. Then the eagle, -•
withjepread pinions, jumps up and down oh hidY
perch, uttering such: wildfearful screams-as am
esgle aione can utter.. iThe fiercer, wilder and
louder the storm of battle, the fiercer* wilder and
louder the scream of the eagle.
Twice OklAoe has been.'hit by secession bul—
Kts, one ghot carried away a thirdp&rt of his tail.
feathers. He is a universal favoritev aadfias been,
carrifdwith the regiment through seven States.
Thousands fiock to see him, and heis fast becom
ing famous.
When the war is over, this eagle should W kept
atihe expense of the State, at thecapitol mHadi

through should be pensioned by the State, and ha
retained as the keeperof the eagle. To this wear*
sure all the people of the State will agree.-
