A REBEL CRUISER REPORT
ED NEAR HAVANA.
To-Day's Proceedings in Congress
and Legislature,
lATEHI’ROM MOBILE.
New Yobk, March 11.—New Orleans ad
vices of the Ist inst., received by the steamer
Western Metropolis,state that the bombardment
of Fort Powell, below Mobile, continued vigor
ously.
The rebel batteries replied, but none of our
vessels were seriously hurt.
A letter from Key West gives a rumor that
one of Admiral Farragut’s steamers had passed
Fort Mofgan under a terrible fire, and another
rumor was that he had captured the works.
FROM CHATTANOOGA.
Chattanooga, March 9.—The camps were
foil of provoking rumors to-day. It was re
ported that a party of rebels made a dash on
the railroad nine miles up the river, attempted
to destroy the bridge there and were repulsed
by the 4th Michigan Cavalry. The rebels are
said to be part of John Morgan’s force. The
whole story is doubtless a canard. Eagle eyes
are watching'rebel movements, and no more
such raids can be made with impunity.
Col. Harrison’s pickets were fired on near
Nickajack Pass, .but, with . this exception, I
doubt not ali is quiet. The situation of the
rebel army is unchanged. "Wheeler, Morgan,
Roddy and Patterson, four eminent cavalry
leaders of the enemy, are now ail in and around
Dalton. The probabilities are that Johnston’s
army will soon.be largely increased by acces
sions from Mississippi and Alabama.
The acts of Booth, the misguided soldier
who commenced the riot in Dayton, and veno
mous Copperheads who recommended it, are
universally reprobated in the army here, and it
is hoped proper punishment will be dealt out
to all offenders.
"Weather warm, but a dense smoko, with
rain. * "
Veterans are returning every day in large
numbers.
Deserters from the enemy continue to ar
rive, but not to the same extent as formerly.
Officers on leave of absence crowd the cars
coming from Nashyille. There is great “desire
for activity in the r army.
FROM KNOXVILLE,
Knoxville, Tenn., March B.— All the labor
ers on the London Bridge have been sent be
low to work on the Dalton Railroad.
A British subject, one Thomas Wispham,
left here to-day, going North. He ran the
blockade into' the Confederacy with £l,OOO, to
speculate in cotton, was conscripted into the
rebel army, passed through several severe
battles, and finally escaped into our lijies a
wiser man.
Knoxville, March 9. —Since the fijst of
February three hundred and thirty-eight non
commissioned officers and privates, .and five
commissioned officers have come into our lines
here as deserters from the rebel army, have
taken the oath and been released. The
aggregate during January was six hundred.
Two hundred and seventy-five prisoners were
captured during January and February, of
whom eleven-have taken the oath.
Gen. Schofield and stag left for the front this
afternoon. Lieutenant-Colonel Schofield of
Gen. Schofield’s staff, leaves to-morrow for
Kentucky, on a tour of inspection. There are
no active operations in the front.
GENERAL SHERMAN’S EXPEDITION.
Cairo, March 9. —From an officer just from
Vicksburg, I learn that the previous report
that Sherman’s expedition had returned to
Vicksburg without the loss of a man, should
have been, qualified. He had returned to
Vicksburg, that is sure, but did lose a few men
killed and wounded, but less than might have
been expected, from so extended a march with
so large a force. There was a loss of some
twenty wounded in skirmishing among the
Ohio troops. Besides an army of negroes,
about one hundred rebel prisoners were
brought in.
The 82d Ohio regiment, Col. Potts, arrived
here this A. M., 500 strong re-enlisted as vete
rans' on the steamer Tycoon on the way for home
being the first to get here who participated in
Sherman’s expedition. The Regiment is in
fine condition, to cqme off such a march as
they had. But few particulars regarding the
expedition were learned beyond those already
sent. There was no regular fighting after
leaving Canton, where they encountered Wirt
Adams.’s Cavalry. There were no commis
sioned or field officers killed. The reports of
Gen. Crocker’s death need confirmation.
The main body of Sherman’s force never left
Meridian, but the cavalry &ent out destroying
80 miles of railroad, burning rebel stores,
breaking up a number of. locomotives and a
large quantity of rolling stock, in the vicinity,
and bringing in all the negroes who.desired to
leave. Women and children and disabled
colored men were not • brought off, so that
nearly all taken, can be made use -of, in one
capacity or another.
LIEUTENANT-GENERAL GRANT SUMMONED'
TO WASHINGTON.
Washington, March 11.—Lientenant-Gene
ral Grant was summoned to Washington last
night from the Army of Potomac, and returned
to this city this morning on a special train, ac
companied by General Meade. ;
A REBEL PRIVATEER CRUISING NEAR
HAVANA.
New York, March 11.—It is reported, on
the authority of the captain of the U. S. gun
boat De Soto,i that a rebel privateer, a bark,
rigged steamer, is cruising' to the westward of
Havana.
FROM WASHINGTON.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin }
Washington, March 11. —Gen. Grant is ex
pected back this evening from the front. He Will
issue important orders to-morrow or Monday,
and will soon leave for the Southwest.
Mr. Chase’s withdrawal has been expected
here for some days.
The case «f Knox vs. Blair was argued in the
Committee on Elections this morning. No de
cision is expected for some days.
1 XXVniTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
Washington, March U, 1684.
House —The Senate bills for the admission of
Nevada and Colorado into the Union a- States
will be considered on-the 17th inst., which day
is set aside for the consideration- of Territorial
business.
Mr. Biair (Mo.), rising to a question of privi
lege, asked leave, to submit certain testimony which
was taken alter the limitation of the time for that
purpose and which affected the contested seat now
occupied by bim.
Mr. Knox (tbe contestant) rose and remonstrated
against the reception of -the - testimony as it was
taken without formality'-of law.
Mr. Dawes (Mass.),Chairman of the Committee
on Elections, explained that this testimony was
'< ffered to-day to the committee, who concluded to
submit tbe matter to tbe House for its decision.
Mr. Blair remarked that the contestant himself
had submitted affidavits taken after the sixty days
limitation, without giving him notice, whereas, he
(Mr. Blair) hod given Mr. Knox notice of the tes
timony now in controversy
.Several gentlemen participated in the conversa
tion. .
Finally, the testimony offered by Mr. Blair was
referred-to the Committee on Elections, to he
treated in like manner as other testimony now be
fore it, taken alter the time fixed by law: Provided
that this shall refer only to depositions and affida
vits, and that all such illegally taken sball not be
considered by the Committee.

FREE DELIVERY OF LETTERS.
Washington, March 11.—The attention of
the public is invited to the many advantages of
the system of free delivery of mail matter, by
carriers, under the new postal law of March 3,
1863. - *
Letters are equally as safe in the the hands
of carriers, as if delivered from a post office,
and are more certain to be handed to the right
ful owners, who are thus saved the time and
trouble of calling or sending for their corre
spondence, which is frequently done when
there are no letters for the applicant.
Under the old system of delivering letters
from Post Offices when called for, much time
is necessarily consumed in arranging letters in
boxes for the general delivery, and distributing
them in private boxes for those who rent the
latter, while in each of these operations,.it is
almost impossible to avoid mistakes, particu
larly at the general delivery, where letters are
liable to be "misplaced in the press of applica
tions. From thesg causes many letters fail to
be delivered in due time, and others are sent to
the Dead Letter Office.
Whenever it is practicable, letters should be
plainly directed to the residence or place of
business of the person addressed,and the street
and number designated. This is a matter ef
the first importance in sending letters to cities
or large towns; but when the persons addressed
arenon-residents whose particular locality can
not be given, this fact should be indicated bythe
word “ Transient .” On the other hand, every
person writing from a city er large town,
should always inscribe at the- commencement
of his letters, the street and number of his
residence. This would not only insure the
correct and, prompt delivery of any reply, but,
also, the restoration of the letter in case it
could not be delivered. )
Another important requisite is that postage
stamps should be placed in the upper right
hand comer of letters, so as to leave ample
space between the . stamps and the
addresses, to allow of post-marking" and can
celing without interference with the writing.
