THE BED BIVEB EXPEDITION,
[Special Despatch to tlie Bulletin.]
Cincinnati, March 24.—A despatch from Cairo
says -we have good news from the Bed Elver Ex
pedition, which comes from undoubted authority.
General A.. 7. Smith landed his forces from trans
ports a few. miles below Fort Deßnssey. The
rebel General Diet Taylor promptly marched
against him with his .whole force, and attacked
him in his rear. General Smith, instead of at
tempting to beep up communication with the
Biver, proceeded', by forced marches, towards the
fort.
When Taylor saw the brick, he started for the
same destination, and for a time the race seemed
doubtful. Bnt finally the. Yankees came in about
three hours ahead, captnring the fort and eleven
guns, four of them parrots, one eleven lnch and
several thirty-two ponoders; also, 300 prisoners.
This gives Gen. Smith a strong foothold in the
country; and yrill enable the Admiral to proceed
to Alexandria with his gunboats without opposi
tion.
[Fort Deßnssey is on Bed Biver, a short distance
below Alexandria, La. It was captured May sth
last year, by Admiral Porter, who took possession
of Alexandria the next day. Both were afterwards
abandoned, and onr forces were sent to assist in
the reduction of Port Hudson.—Eds. Bulletin.

FROM CALIFORNIA.
Saw Francisco March 23 Sailed, ship Sky.
lark, for Baker’s Island.
- A letter dated Manzanillo, Feb. 29th, states that
Consul Blake was there exercising consular func
tions, and would continue to do so unless relieved
by the United States Government. This renders
it probable that the account of the circumstances
attending the homicide, his conviction of murder,
death-sentence and escape from Colima prison,
were, exaggerated reports. Blake’s say
early in the winter he made enemies of one of the
rival wrecking parties for the Golden Gate trea
sure, and also became obnoxious to Mexican offi
cials, wlo favored frauds against the underwri
ters.

that the restoration of the Union depended upon
a Democratic administration of the Government,
nad to c.7 e . c^yed to preside over- a Demo
cratic State Covention he considered one of the
highesthonors which could be conferred. Allusion
was men made to some remarks made by a U. -S.
Senator nbout the liberties of the people being in
danger,and the speaker said that the country wa3
in more danger from the cormorants who prey
upon the Treasury than it is from the armed
enemy. In addition to that, remarked Col. Searight,
the Administration has taken away the safeguards
of the Constitution, and has .broken the most
sacred bnlworks of the people. In view of these
extraordinary events he thought that it was the
imperative duty of the people to meet together to
take counsel Ibr the safety of themselves and the
country. He trusted that the measures about to be
inaugurated by this convention would meet with
ultimate success, though the future prosperity of
the country was now yet in total darkness, Ho
