FROM KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE'
LotnavnitE, March 3d.—The military au
thorities here have no apprehensions of any
extensive raid into Kentucky for the present.
A special despatch from Huntsville to the
Journal says that parties of guerillas, on Thurs.
day night, robbed several houses sixteen miles
below that place, and stole a number of horses.
Gens. McPherson and Logan drove them to
the Tennessee river on Friday, but could see
no rebels on the opposite bank.
The Nashville Times mentions the capture,
on Thursdky, of the notorious guerilla Sam
Moore, who has committed depredations in the
vicinity of Pulaski, Athens and Decatur for
months past.
The passenger train from Nashville for
Louisville is several hours behind time, having
been detained in consequence of a freight
train running off the track at Mumfordaville
this morning.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin.]
CINCERNATI, April 4.—Apprehensions of a
rebel raid into Kentucky still exist, notwith
standing the assurances of the military authori
ties. Forrest, Faulkner and McCullough, with
10,060 mounted men, are in the western part
of the State, and an equal force is collecting at
Pound Gap. Morgan is understood to be pre
paring for a raid between those two points.,
This portends a series of invasions and com
binations that will give great trouble.
We have Memphis dates to the Ist inst.
Persons arriving from the interior report de
tached bodies of rebels occupying positions in
Tennessee in numbers.
• Chalmers's rebel force, though
not himself arrived, was at Grand
Junction on. Sunday last, and were there on
Tuesday morning in numbers stated to amount
to 2,500.
It was also reported that Neely was at the
same time at Bolivar with from 1,500 to 2,000
men at other places.
The Confederate soldiers had made their ap
pearance and some depredations were lately
committed on the Hernando road. They lead
to the belief in the presence of guerillas.
A skirmish occurred during last week be
tween a portion of Forreats command and the
Sixth Tennessee Cavalry, Col. Hurst, which re
sulted in a disaster to the -latter. The location
and date of the affair are not definitely given.
Hurst lost ten killed and wounded.
Ten officers and one hundred privates be
longing to Col. Hawkin's 7th Tennessee Cavalry,
who were captured by Forrest lately at Union
City, have made their escape, and in part re
ported at Headquarters. They say their com
rades are daily seceding from rebel rule, and it
is probable that many of them will finally get
home. Lieut. Bradford who escaped from
the Libby prison with Gol. Straight was among
the lucky ones, as - well-as a son of Col: Haw
kins, and .Lieutenants Morgan and Gray.
Several hundred rebels of Faulkner's command
occupy Hickman during the day-time, return
ing in the evening. They have thus far made
no demonstration.
FROM WASHINGTON
WASH - L*7ol'oN, April 4.—Official information
has been received at the State Department of
the blockade of the - ports of Commin, S wine
munde, Nolgast, Griefswalde Stralsund and
Barth in the Baltic, the blockade having been
ordered by the Danish Government, which
commenced March 15.
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
• WASHINGTON, April 4.—Charles Fossatt, ap
pellant vs. The United States. - The opinion of
the Court was delivered by Mr. Justice Nel
son to-day, establishing the Southern and
Eastern boundaries of Fossatt's grant as in
cluding the mine. The Southern boundary is
the Great Sierra, which defeats the pretensions
of the United States. The Eastern boundary
is the straight line by the - Eastern boundary of
the low hill, thus throwing the mine Berreyeas
on Fossatt's ranch. The Court orders a decree
confirming the survey of December, 1860, and
filed January following.
There was a larger attendance than usual
this morning to hear the above decision in the
Quicksilver case, and even before the reading
of the opinion was completed parties rushed to
the telegraph office to advise their .distant
friends. The excitement to-day was equaled
only by the, whiskey and gold bill questions on
former occasions. _
THE DRAFT IN RENTIICKY.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin.]
CriquNNA.m, April 4.—Governor Bramlette,
of Kentucky, has returned from Washington.
It is understood that a satisfactory arrangement
has been made with the National Government.
Negroes are not to be enlisted in the State of
Kentucky, provided the State shall furnish
15,000 troops. Governor Bramlette promised
that the troops should be furnished.
THE GREAT SEW YORK FAIR.
NEW Yonn, - April 4.—The opening of the
fair to-day has , attracted many strangers to the
city, and the occasion will • be marked with
grand civic and military ceremonies. Four
teenth street is crowded with- people wlio are
strolling past the fair buildings or eager to get
inside. Within,the decorations are principally
formed of flags and stacks of muskets. On,
every one of the huge piers standing along the
the middle of the bazaar,guns are placed, with
stocks together and bayoneted barrels:radiating
outward, on which are hung bright tin can
teens, the whole surmounted by American,
French, German and Irish flags. This collec
tion of muskets in every available place, gives
the fair
_a very martial appearance.
One of the great features of the inauguration
will be the presence of the military, who are to
honor it by a grand parade to-day. This addi
tion to the 'ordinary programmes which go z
verned the fairs for the same object in other
cities, will give an imposing .and appropriate
character to the event. The soldiery who are
enjoying the blessings of peace will- thus be
enabled to sympathize with the troops_ who are
enduring the perils of Wax.
To-night the,grand opening of the fair is to
take place, and the inaugural ceremonies have
been arranged in accordance with the magni
tude of the occasion. The immense labor
and speed required to make the Exhibition
successful necessarily precluded a large pro
gramme.
At 6 o'clock this evening the fair will be
opened. It has been decided to limit the tickets
to six thousand, which the grand hall and ad
joining rooms can easily accommodate. The
following are the inaugural ceremonies, which
are to commence at 8 o clock :
Prayer by the Right Reverened Bishop Pot
ter, of New York. Music by a band of one
hundred and fifty performers. Oration by
Major-General Dix. Music. Oration by Gov.
Parker, of New Jersey. Mimic. Oration by

be given, with operatic and national music.
The leading performers of -this city have been
engaged for the occasion.

ALEXANDRIA, L.A., March 24, Mt —Major
•eneral Banks, accompanied by Colonel J. Grant
Wilson, Major Houston, Captain Dunham and
Captain Crosby, of his staff, left. New Orleans on
Tuesday noon for Red river and Alexandria oa
steamer Black Hawk. At Boone Cerra the 133c1
New York Yolunttgers, Colonel Currie, fired a sa
lute on the approach of the steamer, and on her
departure three cheers were given for General
Banks. We landed at Port Hudson, where Gene
ral Banks visited the headquarters of General An
drews,commanding the Corps d' Afrique,inspected
the fortid.ations and reviewed the 20th United
States colored infantry, Colonel Bartram, lately
arrived from New York, which presenteka fine
appearance.
The original defences of Port Hudson have been
very greatly strengthened. an inner line of fortifi
cations has been constructed, and if Lieutenant-
General Reverend Leonidas Polk should attempt
to lead his rebel troops against these works, he
will suffer a wo: se defeat than General Burnside
did at Fredericksburg.
The drill and discipline of the colored troops at
Port Hudson are very creditable, and the camps
of the various regiments are in excellent condition,
and present a neat, clean and healthy aspect.
Arriving at the month of the Red river, General
Banta communicated with the gunboat General
Bragg, and a Dahlgren boat howitzer was trans
ferred to the Black Hawk to open upon the scat
tering bands of rebels. if our course up the river
was molested. Before daylight this morning we
passeal'ert de Bussey. recently captured from the
rebels, and arrived at Alexandria about eleven
o" clock.
At the Waterloo landing and other points on the
Mississippi, some three or four hundred bales of
cotton were awaitit, gshipment, together with small
quantities of sugar and molasses.
Not a gun was fired at us during the trip from
New Orleans to Alexandria, and no armed rebel
was seen. Majors E. Gifford, S. 0. Holbrook, J.
W. Brigden, Alton, Nichols and Lofland, army
paymasters, with about a million dollars m green
backs, came up on the Black Hawk, to pay off the
troops at the front. The 'transport also brought
up quite a large number of officers, including
Brigadier General Dwight and Lieutenant Payne,
his Adjutant-General.
On the 21st there was a skirmish beyond Alex
andria between a brigade of our cavalry and a body
of the enemy's cavalry, during which Colonel
Sargent, of the Ist Massachusetts cavalry, de
tatched as acting aid-de-Camp to General Banks,
received a flesh wound in the thigh.
It is reported that Shreveport has been taken by
General Steele, who was to advance from Little
Rock, Arkansas.
The steamer Luminary went down this morning
with some twenty. five rebel cavalry officers, who
were captured beyond Alexandria, together with
four pieces of artillery and two hundred and forty
privates, taken in the cavalry skirmish referred to
above.
The officers were as follows: Captain J. Buis
card, Lieutenant Carmonche, Lieutenant A C.
Buissard, Lieutenant Panl, Liutenant-Colonel
Blair, Adjutant Sims, Captain Prudhomme, Lieu
tenant R. T. Gibbs.
Our army is still pushing on np Red river, slower
of course than at first as it gets further from the
base of supplies, and deeper into the country that
has never seen a Union soldier, except as a pris
oner, since the war began.
We have not beaid from Texas since Indianola
was evacuated.
The True Delta has the following : We are fur
ther informed that it was the intension to respect
private property, but the gunboats commenced
burning and destroying, and the troops followed
the example, and now the inhabitants burn or
destroy all private cotton, to prevent its falling
into our hands Most of the prisoners that we
have taken appear glad, for they are tired of the
war and want to getout of it." _

This BOARD STEAMER. CI:ARA. BELL, RED RIVER,
..S.a.axerinnia, LA.,
March 20, lE6l.—The advance
of General A. J. Smith' s forces, under command
of Brigadier-General John A. Mower, reached
here on the evening of the 16th, accompanied by
Admiral Porter and hie fleet of powerful iron-clad
gunboats. •
The fleet-footed chivalry bad as usual given las
the slip, and upon the arrival of our forces not a
rebel was to be seen in. uniform, the inhabitants
here being nearly all firm rebels. The enemy,
upon learning of our approach, made a hasty de
par are, fearing if they remained to encoun , er our
brave boys, the pestilential 4, Yanks" would be
likely to repeat Fort De Hussey on a larger scale.
Owing to the remarkably low stage of water,
the rebels were unable to get a small steamer used
as a ferry boat, and a large and elegant one called
the Falls City, laden with 3,000 bales of fine cot
ton, over the falls, and at the sight of the black
-clouds of smoke in the distance proceeding from
our gunboats, they set them on fire, totally de.
stroymg both before our troops arrived.
Upward of faur thousand bales of eotton have
been confiscated and rescued by our gunbaats
since their arrival. and vast quantities are still
being brought in through the instrum' ntality of
the faithful negroes. who guide our men to the
places of concealment. The proceeds of the sale
of this cotton is distributed among the officers and
sailors as prize money. At 5300 per bale, quite a
snug little income will be realized from these
captures,
Our fleet are now awaiting patienty . and with
considerable anxiety the anticipated rise in the
river, which will permit the safe passage' of an
our transports and gunboats over the falls.
The rebels have three very fOrmidable iron-clad
rams near Shreveport, with which they expect to
annihilate the Yankee gunboats. The Missouri is
a very superior botit, with fine, powerful maetin
ery, and a sharp iron-prow, running three feet
beneath the surface of the water. She is seed to be
the fastest boat on the Western er Southern waters
averaging eighteen miles an hour. Her armament
is reporied to be exceedingly powerful—two 100-
pounders, two 9-inch Dahlgren, and four 33-pound
rifled pieces. - with one or two carronades. The
ram Webb Is shwa monster of considerable power,
but is mot so fast as the Miisonri. She carries ten
guns, the calibre of which is not - known to our
forces. The - Mary T. is likewise_ an ugly cus
tomer to contend w,tb, although not so large as
the two former. --With these three rams the enemy
expect to repulse our naval forces, and then assist
Dick. Taylor and Price on land.
On Thursday evening General A. 3. Smith gave
orders ha have the magazines of Fort De Hussey
blown up with gunpowder. To lay a train for so
extensive an explosionis a hazardous undertaking,
but the perilous task was performed by Lieiren
ant Pennis, ordnance officer on General Smith's
staff, assisted by Quartermaster- Ladd The explo

on every surrounding object, and in an instant
a deafening rear, louder than the loudest
thunder.- reverberated through the for
ests. °Wing_ to. the gross carelessness of
regimental commanding officers, several men
were badly injured by pieces of. timber and earth
being hurled against them. Gen. Smith notified
every officer that the explosion would occur at 8
o'clock; but, notwithstanding it was delayed two
hours and a kali beyond the allotted time, yet there
were men who failed to take the proper warning.
Shortly after the demolition of the earthworks and
the magazines, Lieut. Pannis was ordered to de
stroy a 6-inch iron gun, which the rebels had
mounted upon the-fort. After cautioning every
one of the great danger of being in too close prox
imity at the time of the explosion of the cannon;
yet, sad to relate, there were brave men who had
listened to and faced too often the din and danger of
war's alarms, and two men were struck by the
pieces of iron—killing them instantly. The vic
tims were a lieutenant and a private belonging to
an Illinois regiment, whose names I have not
been - able to learn in season to forward by this
despatch.
General Stone, Chief of 'General Banks's staff,
reached here yesterday on the steamer Laurel
Hill from New Orleans. General Lee, Chief of
Cavalry in General Banks's army, reached here
this afternoon. They report General Banks's
forces beyond Opelousas, where the violent rain
storms had greatly impeded Ike progress of the
army. There is considerable talk of taking
Shreveport by siege among prominent military
men.
A rumor is eurrent among the Seceeh here, that
General Steele entered Shreveport on Thursday,
theil7th, after a pitched battle of ten hours dura
tion. No confidence can be placed in, this report,
although such a thing may actually have occurred
as reported. At all events, look out for big events
crowding thick and fast upon you before the 15th
el April.
The correspondent of the Tribune writes asiol
lows :
Nearly all of the House Naval Committee, with
Vice President Bamlin and one or two members of
the Ways and Means Committee, numbering in all
25. including ladles, will start next Thursday for
St. Louis and Cairo to examine sites for a Western
Navy Yard at these two points, and thence will go

THE Hemr-PturrAaE Tex.—At a meeting of
the Corn Exchange Association held this morning
a prominent member of Congress made a few re
marks in reference to the proposed acceptance of
League Island as a great Natio! al Naval Depot,
and said that among the prominent and most influ
ential argument against the project was the high
rate of tonnage and pilotage and half-pilotage
taxes to which vessels are subjected as passing to
and from Philadelphia and the Capes. It now
costs $4OO to tow a 1100 ton vessel to or from Phila
delphia and the Breakwater and the pilotage tax,
or lithe captain is a skilful man and can bring his
own vessel into port, he is compelled to pay
itatf-paotage. The charges he said, interest spe
cially and vitally the trade not only of Philadel
phia, but of Pennsylvania. The foreign com
merce of Philadelphia is comparatively nothing,
while she is the great centre of the coastwise com
merce of the country. He referred to the fact
that much of the coal of our State was seek,
fag an outlet at Elizabeth and other ports
in consequence of this unjust half-pilotage tax,
and impressed upon them the necessity of joining
with the . Board of Trade and other organizations
in using their influence with the Legislature to
protect our commerce from such unjust and unr.e.
emery impositions.
FATAL RAILROAD ACCTDENT.—James Mc-
Connell was run over by the Baltimore train last
evening as it was entering the depot Broad- and
Prime streets. He had been to Chester after his
brother who had been a patientin the hospital there.
In order to avoid the Provost Guard, it was Er
ranged that the two should jump from tke trainbe
fore it reached the depot. James, in jumping,
struck against a post, and was thrown under the
train. The wheels passed diagonally across the
loweepart of his body, splitting the left leg and
completely severing the right leg from the body.
The unfortunate man was taken to the Citizen's
Volunteer Hospital opposite the dept, where he
died in about two hours. The deceased resided at
No. 72. S North Second street, and leaves a wife and
one child.
CI:URGED . wrrn Ronnitar:,—Peter Smith and
William J. Wilson, were arrested on Saturday, by
Sergeant Hueston, and taken before Ald. Good,
upon the charge of the larceny of a watch and
medallion from Wea'rer's Jewelry Store, at
°bestow Hill. The articles were taken from the
case while the proprietor was temporarily absent.
The medallion was found upon the person of ono
of the accused. The watch was hid away is a
cellar. The defendants were each held in St, 000
bail to answer at Court.
