FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
FORTRESS : MONROE, March 30.—The 11. S.
steamer Commodore Barney, with 66 picked
men from the Minnesota, all in charge of Capt.
J. M. Williams, left this point yesterday after
noon arid proceeded up the Chuckatuck creek,
and with small boats landed at the head of the
creek taking a guide to the headquarters of
Lieutenant Roy, where they arrived at 4 o'clock
this morning. Immediately surrounding the
houses they captured two sergeants and 18
privates, with three - small arms,without firing a
shot. Master Pierson and Wilder had charge
of the Minnesota's boats. It was a great
achievement, as the prisoners captured were
signal officers and no doubt rank higher than
above stated, being all intelligent men.
The Confederate Commissioners for the ex
change of prisoners, Robert Ould and Capt
Hatch of Richmond, arrived this morning on
the flag-of•truce boat A. Winans.
The, steamer Adelaide, Capt. Cannon, left
this morning at 10 o'clock for Baltimore, hav
ing been detained from last evening by the
storm. ,
The schooner Lydia Ann, Capt. Overton,
was lost at sea on the 23d inst.
The last one of the Russian fleet sailed hence
foi New York this morning.
The English -frigate Buzzard arrived last
evening and anchored in Hampton Roads.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
An immense excitement was created to-day
by the arrival of Col. Robert Child, the rebel
Commissioner of Exchange, accompanied by
Captain J. M. Hatch, his assistant,at this place.
A few days ago, when Major John E. Mulford,
Assistant Commissioner of Exchange, under
Major General Butler, was at City oint, he
made an arrangement with Colonel ()aid for the
latter to visit General Butler; and accordingly
yesterday afternoon Admiral Lee sent word to
this point that a rebel flag of truce was off New
port News Point, awaiting to hold commukica
tion with the Commanding General, who at
- once despatched Major Mulford on board of the
steamboat Amanda Winants to receive the
envoy.
The meeting between Major Mulford, Col.
Onld and Capt. Hatch was, of course, as the
rules in cases of flag of truce prescribe, cordial
in the extreme. -The weather being very rough
at the times the gunboat Roanoke, which
brought Mr. Ould from Richmond to our lines,
could not very well ride at anchor off Newport
News, and consequently proceeded a few miles
up the James river, and waited the coming of
Major Mulford. The arrival at Fortress Mon
roe-of all the parties above mentioned occurred
at ten o'clock this morning, the Union flag of
truce boat steaming to the wharf with the em
blem of.peace at her fore. An ambulance be
longing to the Hygea, Hotel was placed at the
disposal of the visitors, and taken to headquar
ters, with an immense amount of papers and
books. - •
The appearance of Colonel Ould to a person
who knew him prior to the breaking out of this
wicked rebellion, is one of great change. In
size the rebel Commissioner is about six
. feet,
and rather rotund. His face is completely cov
ered with a greyish grizzly beard,and altogether
he looks like a man who has the burdens of a
eckingdom" to wear on his shoulders. Colonel
Ould wore a civilian's suit—a brown overcoat;
fashionable several years back, and a slouch hat.
His companion, Captain Hatch, was attired in a
gray uniform, full dress, sash and belt, but wore
no sword..
The object of his mission can only be guessed
at, but relates to the future plan of exchanges.
It is understood, and in fact was published in
the RichmOnd papers, that if General Butler
would come to the rebel capital to make the
necessary arrangements to facilitate exchanges,
he should receive ample protection. General
Butler and Colonel °aid are on friendly terms,
and up to the moment of_ my closing this, the
two commissioners are engaged in their humane
and laudable undertaking. The visit of Colonel
Ould may last two or three days, judging from
the immense pile of papers brought by him on
his arrival.
The United States gunboat Commodore
Barney, Acting- Master James M. Williams
commanding, left Newport News last even
ing on an expedition, notwithstanding a heavy
gale prevailed at the time. Captain Williams
proceeded to the mouth of the Nansemond,
where he left the boat, and manning four
cutters, the first in charge of Acting Master
Chas. R. Wlider, Executive officer of the
Minnesota; the second under Acting Master
Pierson, Of the Minnisota ; the third in com
mand of Acting Master's Mate Auld, of the
Barney, and the last in charge ' of an officer
whose name I failed to obtain, and rowed
twelve miles up the Nansemond river to Chuc
atuck creek, and left the rowboats in charge of
trustworthy men.
A tramp of three miles bronght the hardy
sailors to Lieutenant Roy's rebel signal camp,
the capture of which was the object of Captain
Williams's hazardous expedition. The night
was pitchy dark, and the rain poured down in
torrents. The wind howled dismally through
the woods, and at nearly every step the brave
tars stumbled over the stumps abounding •in
in the forests through which their road lay. To
have carried lanterns would have betrayed
them so they had to make slow progress, al
though the Captain and most of his men testify
to their perilous enterprise by sore shins, re
ceived from the undergrowth of the woods.
Arriving at the rebel camp near daybreak this
morning, Captain Williams stationed a number
of his men in the most important positions as
sentries, and with the rest rushed in, and before
any resistance could be offered captured twen
ty men of the rebel signal corps (among them
is supposed to be Lieutenant Roy),and brought
them safely to the boats. The—remaiader o:
Roy's band terribly friebtermd, skedaddled
and escape:cr . capture. Capt. Williams, on
reaching the cutters with his prisoners, gave
ciders to get, under;way with the least possible,
delay, and succeeded in bringing every rebel to
the Commodore Barney, and finally to this
place, nhere they are to be turned over to
General Butler as pawners of war. _
My informant states that in the foregoing
facts concerning -- the expedition too- mach
praise cannot be awarded to the commanding
officer, Captain Williams, as -well as Captain
Fierson and Wilder, also Acting Master's Mate
Airld, for their intrepid and heroic conduct.
The rebel prisoners assert that only for the
storm, during--ahich they did not expect an at
tack, our men would have had a bloody fight,
arid certainly suffered a defeat, as their force
consisted of featly two hundred men. The
prisoners will be frapsferred to the new mili
tats prison lately erected at Camp Hamilton.
Her Britannic Majesty's steam corvette Buz
zard, Captain Martin, arrived here during
.the
prevalence of a severe . gale last evening
. from
Bermuda, and relieves the gunboat, Rosario,
Captain Grant, -which is Ordered to trke the
place of the Buzzard on the station she has just
left.

The despatches published in the newspapers
of the 29th, purporting to have been received
at Washington, from Captain Pennock, Nava

of Paducah, and his demanding its surrender
were bogus, no such despatches having been

FROM NEW ORLEANS
NER Yons, April I.—The steamer Cahawba,
from New Orleans, on the evening of the 24th
ult., has arrived here.
Franklin, La., has been evacuated, and the
Government stores removed to Brashest? city.
The Era says—On the 21st Gen. Mower
made a reconnoissance up Red River as far as
Natchitoches, where a rebel force was out
flanked. Two hundred prisoners and four can
non were captured. Natchitoches is 60 miles
above Alexandria, and refugees from 'there
state that large quantities of cotton, etc., re
main on the, plantations in that vicinity.
Another later account. states that the-affair
took place at Bayou Rapids, 20 miles from
Alexandria, and that besides the above captures
large numbers of horses and mules were taken.
Col.lll. B. Sargeant's was severely wouneed
in the leg. The rebel force was a portion of
General Smith's infantry, and ours was a por
tion of Lee's cavalry.
The weather on the Red River was cold, and
the Water in the river was rising rapidly, which
will much facilitate gunboat movements. The
troops are in fine spirits. The - rebel guerillas
at Provost Landing, on the Teche, fired into
one of our gunboats, but fled after a well-di
rected discharge of grape. - A party then landed
and burned all the buildings in the place. Gen.
Franklin's column passed through Opelousas.
General Banks has issued an order establish
ing a bureau for the instruction of freedmen:
Charles F. Roberts, mate of the brig Herald, of

THE SECOND PENNSYLVANIA' ARTILLERY.
A con espondent of the Chambersburg Repository
gives the following description of the regiment;
Foul EUNKHB. BILL, D. U., March —ln Oc
tcber, IE6I, Col. Charles Angeroth, a Prussian by
birth and education, was authorized by the Secre
tary of War to raise a Battalion of Heavy Artillery
in Pennsylvania. for duty at 'Fortress Monroe, to
be officered in accoi dance with the views and di
rections of the Governor. On February 6th, 1562,
the regiment was organized with ten companies,
numbering in all about eight• hundred men,
made up from the different parts of the
State as follows: Four companies from
Philadelphia, I from Pittsburgh, 1 from Fayette
county, 1 from Lnzerne county, I from Columbia
sad Montour counties, I from Wayne county, and
from Northumberland county. Three companies
were immediately assigned to duty at Fort Dela
ware, acd the others rendezvoused at Cottage Gar
den, Camden, N. J., until April following, when
the whole were - ordered to , the defences around
Washington, where the regiment has been ever
since, and has done enough of digging in the mean
time to have undermined the rebel capitol. In
June, 1E62, Col. An geroth resigned, and is August
following Capt. A. A. Gibson, of the 2d Regular
Artillery was appointed to the Colonelcv. The
regiment then numbered about 600 men. A short
time afterwards Copts. Jones's and Schooley's
Independent Light Batteries were attached by or
der of the Secretary of War, whicbgave the requisite
number of companies for an artillery regiment.
The regiment is now more than full, 1,769 en
listed men being the maximum and we, have over
2,000. There are but two heavy artillery regi
ments from Pennsylvania, this one and the 3d tßo
berts's.),n ow doing duty at Fortress Monroe. New
York Slate has sixteen, part of which are doing
duty as infantry. A word to the patriotic ladies
of our county, and particularly to those connected
with "Soldiers' Aid Societies" for sick and
wounded soldiers: We have a number of si •It in
our regimental hospital, and, although abundantly
supplied with substantiate, a box of delicacies
sent by our fair fnends would be gratefully re
ceived, handsome; y acknowledged, and the effect
upon the cheerless and desponding sick soldiers
would be most happy. Send in care of Rev. Thos.
P. Punt, Chaplain 2d Pennsylvania Artillery,
Fort Saratoga, Washington, D. C. - and you can
rest assured that the articles will be properly ap
plied.
There is a rumor that we will leave hereshortly;
I think it may be so; the desire to go into the field
is general; we don't want to serve out our time
without trying our hand gm a fight for the
Union."
PERSONAL.
Major. General Washbnrne has been ordered to

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 be permanent. I am satisfied that
the preparation is nothing like a dye, but operates
upon the secretions. It is also a eautiful Hair
dressing. I purchased the first bottle from Mr.
Garrignes, Driggist, Tenth and Coates streets,
who can also testify my hair was very gray, when
I commenced its use.
