Louisville, March 29. —ln pursuance of direc
tions from General Schofield, and in accordance
with General Grant’s orders, Kentucky has been
divided into two districts.
The Western district comprises all between the
Nashville Kailroad and Cumberland River, under
General Ewing, with his headquarters on the rail
road. The Eastern district comprises all between
the Nashville Railroad and'the Big Sandy River,
under General Hobson, with headquarters in the
field, the whole to be under the command of Gen.
Benbridge, with headquarters at present in this
city. That part of Kentucky west of the Cum
berland River belongs to the Department of Ten
nessee.
The express train which left Louisville on Mon
day morning for Lebanon, was captured by gue
rillas and two passenger cars were burned. A
guard of seventeen Federal officers on the train
surrendered without firing a gun. This guard has
been ordered to Louisville under arrest.
Federal scouts have proceeded some four miles
beyond Bull’s Gap, and report no signs ol Long
street’ s forces.
General Yanghan has been appointed Provost
Marshal of Louisville, vice Major Fitch, who re
joins his regiment.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington. March 29, 1864 A joint meeting
of the House and Senate Naval Committee will be
held on Thursday next, to consider the question
of the location of the new Navy Yard tor iron
clads. The friends of the New London, League
Island and Chester locations are all sanguine of
favorable reports. Brandegee closed his arguments
In favor of New London this morning.
The Honsd Naval Committee, with a portion of
the Military and Ways and Means Committee,
will start in about two weeks on a tour of inspec
tion down the Ohio nver and up the Mississippi
to St. Louis, to select a location for a Western
Navy Yard.
No action has been taken by the Committee of
either branch ef Congress in reference to the remo
val of the Naval Academy from Newport, Rhode
Island, to Annapolis. The military have posses
sion of the latter point, and will probably retain it
during the war.
Colonel Pennock Huey, of the Bth Pennsylvania
Cavalry, left for Philadelphia to-day to recruithis
(regiment np to the standard.
The returned contraband colonists are now
quartered at Colonel Green’s Freedman’s Village.
All have been forhißhed with new clothes.
Major-General E. O. O. Ord arrived in town last
night.
The feliowing order lias just been issued by the
Secretary of the Navy:
Navy Department, March 22.—General Order
No. 31. —Ensigns R. O. Chew and H. J. Blake
having been reported to the Department for going
below in their watch, without being regularly re
lieved, while on duty on board the United States
steam-frigate Niagara, (Commodore T. T. Craven
Commanding, and Lieutenant-Commander Henry
Reuben Executive Officer,) their appointments to
the grade of Lieutenants, for which they were re
cently nominated to the Senate and confirmed,
have been suspended. For the same offence, the
appointments of Acting Ensigns W. S. Dana, E.
~F. Harrington, William B. Hoff and C. R&thbone
have been revoked, and they have been ordered to
Tetum to their studies at the Naval Academy, at
Newport, R. 1., as midshipmen. Acting Ensign
R. C.lrvin, who was also attached to the Niagara,
and was guilty of the offence of overstaying his
leave,has been ordered to the United States steamer
Glaucus, (third mate,) with directions that he shall
not for six months be permitted to go out of that
Tessel.
The Department cannot admit the plea of igno
rance, or that of usage on board the vessels at the
Naval Academy, on the part of these officers, who,
however young, have been long enough in the
service to aspire to and expect promotion. If they
bad no other source of information, they should
have learned from the ‘ ‘act for the better govern
ment of the navy, * * with which all persons in the
service must be supposed to be familiar, tuatto
•‘leave his station before regularly relieved 9 * is an
offence which subjects the person'goilty of it to the
punishment of death. It must, indeed, be obvious
to the most ordinary intelligence, that if an officer
cannot be trusted in his watch, he has yet to learn
the simplest practical duties of his profession, and
is unfitted for a station where tne lives of others,
as well as the honor of his country, may depend
on his vigilance and fidelity.
Tho lenient course which the Department has
adopted in this case, has been induced by the con
sideration that, although the severe punishment
which a court-martial would adjudge, might be
more effectual as a warning, yet the young officers
in fault may, with some reason, plead in extenua
tion of their offences, that they were not duly ad
monished by those whose duty it was to impress
them with a pToper sense of discipline, of the se
ctions ®hture and inevitable consequences of their
miscondnct It is not probable-that so many of
them would, have -erred habitually on hoard, the
Niagara except from this cause.
GIDEON WELLES,
Secretary of the Navy.
Ane to-flay communicated to Congress
the report of C. B. Stewart, Consulting Engineer!
upon the improvements to pass gunboats from tide
water to the Western Xakfes. The Engineer
assumes that upon t the connection of thosb lakes
with -tide water depends our common defence as
wellas general welfare, and that the Mississippi
River should likewise be connected with the lakes.
He argues that the great food-producing region
uses this chain of lakes for transit of exports and
imports, which is a line of communication at
present utterly defenceless, leaving the lake cities
to destruction by English gunboatß on a declaration
war by Great Britain, thus inflicting damage to
which the cost of these proposed improvements
would be utterly, insignificant.
He makes various recommendations and gives ns
total estimates for improved gnnboat locks lor the
Hrie, Oswego, Champlain and Cayugaand Seneca
Canals, with seven feet of water, oyer $lB,OOO 000,
and with eight feet ot water, §20,500,000, and the
cost of a canal around Niagara Fall at from ten to
thirteen millions of dollars.

Who heioDgs to the 55th Illinois,-but at present at

When the assault at Vicksburg was at its height,
OtUh« 19th May, and I was in front near the

where We stood the shot fell thick, and I told him

cartridges; and off he limped. Justbefure he dis
atolearfd onthe hill, he turned and called as loud

CENTRAL FAIR,
Philadelphia; 1307 Ghestnnt Street*
The undersigned, members of the Executive
Committee of the CHEAT CENTRAL FAIR foT
the Sanitary Commission, beg to invite the co-ope
ration of all their fellow-citizens, especially of
those resident in Pennsylvania, Delaware and
New Jersey, in this important enterprise. It is
proposed to hold the Fair in Philadelphia, In the
FIRST -WEEK IN JUNE NEXT, and it is con
fidently expected that the contributions, coming
from a popula ion so benevolent and patriotic as
that which inhabits the Central States, and repre
senting the most importan t and varied branches of
industry and art, will secure a result in aid of the
funds of the Commission, and for the benefit of
the Soldier, at least equal to that which has ate*
tended similar undertakings in other cities. It
is not necessary to say a word to stimulate sym
pathy. for the soldier. We feel for them all fas
brethren, and the popular heart seeks only the
best mode of manlfesting-That sympathy in the
most efficient snd practical way. These fairs in
other places have been productive of gTeat results.
’ By this means Chicago has recently raised for this
object 860,000, Boston 8150,000, and Cincinnati
more than 8200,000. We appeal, then, with the
greatest confidence to the inhabitants of the Cen
tral States, especially to those who constitute the
great industrial classes, to send as contribution
the productions of their skill and workmanship.
We appeal to them in the interest or no pirty,
radical or conservative, Republican or Democratic,
Administration or anti-Administration. We know
only this, that to send out national soldiers in the
field supplies to supplement those Goverment un
dertakes to give them, but which they sometimes
fail to receive, and thus to relieve them when sick
and in mieery, is a work of Christian charity, and
that it is a worir of intelligent patriotism also, as
economizing their life, health and efficiency, on
which, nnder God, the nation depends in this its
time oi trouble.
We therefore ask every clergyman to announce
this humane undertaking to his people, and to ad
vise them to do what they can to further it. We
ask the press to give it the widest publicity and the
most earnest encouragement. We rail on every
workshop, factory and mill for a specimen of the
best thing it can turnout; on every great
and small, for one of his creations; on all loyal
women, for the exercise of their taste and indus
try ; on farmers, for the products of their fields
and dairies. The miner, the naturalist, the man
of science, the traveler, can each send something
that can at the very least be converted into a
blanket that will warm, and may save Cram death,
some one.eoldier whom government supplies have
failed to reach. Every one who can produce any
thing that has money value is invited to give a
sample of his best work as an offering to the cause
of national unity. Every workingman, mechanic
of farmer, who can make a pair of shoes or raise a
barrel of apples, is called on to contribute some
thing that can be turned into money, and again
from money into the means of economizing the
health and the life of onr national soldiers.
Committees have been appointed In each depart
ment of industry ard art, whose business it will
be to solicit contributions for the Fair, each in its
own special branch. 7 hese Committees will place
themselves in communiaation with those persons
who may wish to aid us. In the meantime it is
recommended thailocal committees or associations
should be formed in every portion of Pefinsylva
nia, Delaware and New Jersey, with a view ol
organizing the industry of their respective neigh
oothoods, so as to secure contributions for the
Fair.
Committee* of Ij&dies hare also been organized
to co operate with those of the gentlemen in soli
citing contributions-
A list of all these Committees will be shortly
pnbliahea and distributed- ‘la the meantime those
who are disposed to aid as, or who may desire any
farther information on the subject, are requested
to address CHAB LES J. STILLE, Corresponding
