DESPATCHES FROM ADMIRAL PORTER.
Wasbington, March 16 Admiral Porter
encloses a communication from Lieut. Com
mander Thos. Q. Selfridge, of the gunboat
Conestoga, operating on the lower Mississippi,
in which he states that, having learned there
was a large amonnt of cotton belonging to the
rebel government, UDder a small guard, not far
from where the Old river intersects the
main levee, he landed on the mommg of the
13th of February, with forty-five seamen and
some contrabands, and, after a march of six
miles, found the cotton, and would have
captured the guard, but for the accidental dis
charge of amusket.
On their way back they were considerably
annoyed by Texan cavalry. He captured 32
bales of cotton, 20 mules and several horses,
and took prisoners Col. C. H. Tyler and Major
J. F. O’Brien, of the rebel provisional army.
The day previous he destroyed 24 hogsheads
of sugar at Cross River, which were too bulky
to be taken on board.
Admiral Porter also encloses a report from
Lieutenant Commander Green, of the IT. S.
Bteamer Rattler, dated off Hurricane Island,
Feb. 16th. He says, I have informed you in a
previous letter that detachments of about 200
negro troops have been stationed at Water
proof, making it a depot for negroes, cattle,
&c. This hasaroused the indigation of the rebels
and on the 14th a force'of about eight hundred
cavalry of Harrison’s command made an attack
Bpoh the post, driving in the pickets and press
ing the troops very hard. Fortunately for them
*he Forest Rose was present. Capt. Johnston
immediately opened a rapid fire upon them,
which drove them away. He got his vessels
under way and shelled the enemy wherever his
guns would bear.
They hastily retreated to the woods. This
affair lasted from three to five o’clock P. M.
At eight P. M. the enemy attempted to make a
dash into the town, but Capt. Johnston, who
was well posted as to their approach, drove them
back. Eight dead rebels and five prisoners
were left in our hands. Our loss was five
killed and two wounded.
Captain Johnston says that some of the
negroes fought well, but, for want of proper
discipline, the majority did not.
Lieutenant-Commanding Green arrived with
the Battler, after the fighting was over. He
then proceeded to Natchez, reported the facts
to the commander of that post, and asked him
to send us reinforcements.
On the nest morning he despatched 200 men
and some howitzer ammunition to Waterproof.
Upon arriving at Waterproof on the 15th, he
found that in the morning the enemy, who had
been re-inforced in the night, and whose forces
now consisted of two regiments of infantry,
one of cavalry and four pieces of artillery, had
again attacked the post.
The Forest Bose, whose commander was
ever on the alert, was ready for them. A few
well-directed shells stopped them from plant
ing their battery on the plank road,and drove
them off in confusion. The attempts of the •
remainder to advance were frustrated by the
Forest Bose.
Captain Johnston says “Capt. Anderson asked
repeatedly forme to take his troops on beard
and throw them across the river. Every re
quest I declined and could only tell him to
fight. After I got the enemy on the retreat,
he felt more easy, and discontinued his re
quests to cross. Ido not think Anderson was
intimidated, but by the bad description of his
officers and incapacity of his men, he became
panic-stricken.”
The ram Switzerland arrived about the close
®f the fight and joined thpm.
The rebel loss, as far as is known, was seven
killed and a number wounded, who were taken
off. Several prisoners were captured, among
ihem a Lieutenant, and taken to Harrisonburg.
Our losb was three killed and twelve wounded.
In the two days’ fight the Forest Bose expended
270 shells.
Under date of February 16th he says
«l have received a despatch from Johnston,
dated the 15th, at 10 P. M., which says the
rebels have made another and final attack on
Waterproof. He sent a few shells, which
caused them to retire.. They retreated toward
Harrisonburg, burning the bridges behind
them. Tne rebels cannot stand the fire of the
gunboats.”
Later, he says everything is quiet, but they
have information that the rebels are making
preparations for an attack on the contraband
camp opposite Vicksburg. The negro troops
at Waterproof have been committing many
outrages; .

ADDRESS OF THE GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY.
Louisville, March 16—Gov. Bramlette has
just issued the following address to the people
of Kentucky: ,
Fellow Citizens: —ln view of the disturb
ance of the popular mind, produced by the
enrollment of slaves lor the army; in Ken
tucky, it is deemed prudent to make the fol
lowing suggestions forthe benefit and guidance
of the loyal people of Kentucky:
“Your indignation should not move you to
commit acts of violence nor. to unlawful resist
ance. Standing, as we have stood and will
ever stand, for the Constitution, the Union
and the enforcement of the laws, we mnst repel
the efforts of rebellion to overthrow our
Government by our gallant soldiers in the
field, and meet and correct unjust or unconsti
tutional legislation by legal appeals to the con
stitutional tribunals of the. Government, and
through the ballot box in the constituted modes
overthrow those who pervert or abuse the trust
committed to them.
“This is the only true mode of maintaining
the Constitution, the Union, and enforcement
of the laws. The mere act of enrolling the
names of slaves does not affect any right
of the citizen. No draft has been ordered
nor do we know that a draft will be ordered. I
may or it may not. We should abide by and
maintain the law, and pursue the inodes pro
vided for the remedy it affords.
“If any violence or wrong to the person or
property of the citizens be com
mitted, to any officer or soldier,
against the known laws of the land, make your
accusation in the mode prescribed by law, and
ii the commanding officers refuse or neglect it,
use your utmost endeavors to correct the officer
or soldiers under his command so accused, and
band him or them over to a civil magistrate for
trial. - .
“When officially advised of the facts, the
Executive of the State will, prefer charges and
demand a Court Martial. In the Union, under
the Constitution and in accordance with
law, assert and urge your rights. It is
our duty to obey the law until it is declared
by judicial decision to be unconstitution. The
citizen whose property mayfbe taken under it
lor public use will be entitled, under the im
perative mandate of the Constitution, to a just
compensation for his private property so taken
for public use.
“Although tte present Congress does not do
justice, yet it is safe to rely upon the justice of
the American people, and an appeal to them
will not be unheeded or unanswered.
“Peace restored and the unity of onr Go
vernment preserved, will drive to ignominious
distance those who, in the agony of our con
flict, perverted their sacred trusts to. the base
uses of partisan ends and fanatical purposes.
“Uphold and maintain your government as
constituted, and obey and enforce its just de
mands as the only hope of perpetuating free
institutions.
(Signed) “Tnos. E. Bramlbite,
“Fhankfobt, Ky., March loth, 1864.”
AHOTHEB UHIOH VICTORY IK HEW JERSEY
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin. 1
Buslihgtow, N. J., March 16.—The City
election yesterday resulted in a complete triumph
. of the friends of the Union. The whole Union
City Ticket, including Common Council, City
Clerk, Treasurer, and other city officers, was
elected by an average majority of IG2. Last
year the whole Democratic ticket was elected
by 30 majority. The result is most gratifying,
and shows unmistakably the way in which the
current of honest public opinion is setting.
The handwriting on the Wall is plainly visible,
and the people are determined that none who
sympathize, in thought, word or deed, with re
bels in arms or their Northern allies, the Peace
Democrats, shall receive any token of confi
dence in positions of honor, profit or trust.
Boston, March 16.— Eight hundred soldiers,
mostly veterans, belonging to New Hampshire,
Maine and Massachusetts regiments, left jhere
last night, by various routes, to rejoin. the Army
of the Potomac. J
The private subscriptions in aid of the peo
ple of East Tennessee now amount to §64,000.
The Journal states that F.’O. J. Smith was
arraigned a few days since before the Maine
Supreme Judicial Court, on a charge of adul
tery, to which he pleaded not guilty, and gave
bonds for his appearance for trial.

This discovery for the preservation of the human
“hir is taking the lead of all hair preparations: be
sides restoring the color and shaking hair grow on
bald heads, it is a beautiful dressing, keeps the
hair soft, smooth and flexible, removes any erup
tive disease, Itching, Scurf, Dandruff, &c. Many
who were bald and gray have had their hair per
manently restored. Only one preparation.

I am happy to add my testimony to the grea
value of the “London Hair Color Restorer,*
three bottles of which restored my Hair, which
was very gray, to its original., dark color, and the
hue appears to he permanent. I am satisfied that
the preparation is nothing like a dye, but operates
upon the secretions. It is also a beautiful Hair
dressing. I purchased the first bottle from Mr
Garrigues, Druggist, Tenth and Coates streets’
who ean also testify my hair was very gray, when
I commenced its use.
