THE REBEL RAID IN KENTUCKY.
Canto, April 7.—The Cairo News has bean
furnished with an order issued by Brigadier-
General Buford, commanding the 2d division
of Forrest's cavalry, congratulating the rebel
troops on the success of the Kentucky cam
paign. He praises their conduct during the
attack on the fort at Paducah, and feelingly
deplores the loss of Colonel Thompson com
manding the 3d brigade. He asserts ttiat they
silenced the guns of the fort and compelled one
of the gunboats to withdraw from the action.
The rebel loss is set down at fifty killed and
ninety wounded, and federal loss at twenty
seven killed and seventy or eighty wounded.
He concludes by informing the division that he
intends holding Western Kentucky.
The actual loss of the Federal force was 14
killed' and 42 wounded. The rebel prisoners
admit that 300 were killed and three times as
many wounded.
Memphis advices report nothing later from
Forrest or Grierson. The former is preparing
for an attack on Memphis.
FSpecial Despatch to the Bulletin.l
CINCINNATI . , April B.—Notwitl6tanding the
rebel Briford's assurance that he intends to re
main permanently in:Kentucky, it is reported
that Forrest is manceuvring to get out of the
State by dividing his forces into small "detach
ments and slipping them off by byways.
THE RED RIVER EXPEDIT lON.
ST. Louis, April B.—The Democrat pub
lishes a despatch from Alexandria, La., which
says a large amount of cotton was being cap
tured along the Red River. • z ,
It is reported that sevefal naval officers were
captured while confiscating the cotton.
Admiral Porter has issued a circular to the
captains and owners of steamboats in the em_
ploy of the rebel government as transports,
stating that if they will deliver the boats to
him, he will afford them every opportunity to
recover their property, while if they burn
them, they will be a total loss.
PARTICULARS OF THE LOSS OF THE REBE L
RAM TENNESSEE.
CINCINNATI, April .Bth.—The New Orleans
Era of March 29, contains the following
letter :
WEST GIMP SQUADRON, March 20.—0 n March
1 the Kennebec steamed up to Dauphin Island,
to communicate with the vessels in the Sound.
Several rebel gunboats, the Tennessee among
them, were seen lying near Grant's Pass.
The day was squally, and at' about 3 o'clock
In the afternoon, the lookout on board the
Kenbec sung out: cc The Tennessee is sink
ing !" All the officers then on deck immedi
ately looked toward the place where the Ten
nessee was lying, and sure enough, they saw
her go down.
At the same time signals were seen on board
the Octorara, lying in the Sound, and said sig
nals, haterpreted, read : cc The rebel ram Ten
nessee sunk."
It appears that a squall struck her, and she,
being very low in the water, keeled over and
went down. Two feet of her smoke-stack can
now be seen above the water, at the spot where
the great ram once lay at anchor.
The Tennessee ran dciwn from Mobile when
- we first began bombarding Fort Powell, and re
bel deserters said she was expected to sink our
whole fleet. •
She was an extremely powerful vessel, her
armor plates being six inches in thickness.
She was very sharp in the hull, but had a long
projecting spear, or ram,. which was entirely
tinder water. Her excessive weight made her
slow and hard toliandle, being too much for
her engines; an d she would not, therefore
3.30- O'Oloolt.
. Crucnium, April B.—There was great ex
citement in business circles .yesterday, on. die
covering that -the firm of Bidwell & Co., had
left - the city on Wednesday night, leaving a
large amount of debts-unsatisfied. They came
here in December last, and opened a commis
sion store on Sycamore street; they wormed
themselves into the confidence of business
men, and consummated a grand scheme of
swindling on Wednesday - by purchasing from
five hundred dollars to twelve hundred dollars
worth of jewelry of nearly all the Fourth street
jewelers, and a great deal of ready-made
clothing. A female accomplice also ran Up
large bills at the fur stores. The bills were to
be paid the next day, but when the creditors
appeared the store was found closed up and the
firke gone, it is thought to Canada. By the aid
of accomplices they have been able to defraud
houses in other cities.. They had glassware
from Pittsburgh, oils from Cleveland, wines
from New York, and various produce from
country stores for sale on commission. This
stuff they sold, and pocketed the gross pro
ceeds. The extent of their swindling opera
tions is not yet fully known. It is supposed.
they have made from twenty to twenty-fiv'e
thousand dollars by the operation of the past
three months.

WANIEINGTON,, April 8.
SENATE.-Mr. Trumbull (Ill.), from the Ju
diciary Committee, reported adversely on the
joint resolution to establish new role of the
Senate requiring executive nominations to be
considered in open session.
Mr. Sherman (Ohio) introduced a bill to
provide for a national currency secured by
United States stocks, and to provide for the
redemption thereof. Referred to the Com
mittee on Finance;
Mr. Howard (Mich.) introduced the House
bill to secure the title of certain lands in Rock
Island, 111., which caused some debate; but
without action the subject went over at the
expiration of the morning hour.
Mr. Hale (N. H.) called np the bill to re
peal the first section of the joint resolution of
February 24th, 1864, relative to the transfer of
pensions in the military to the naval service,
which was passed.
The' Senate took up the joint resolution
amending the Constitution.
Mr. Sumner (Mass.) addressed the Senate at
length.
The bill was recommitted with instructions
to inquire into the expediency of reporting an
appropriation for a House of - Correction only.
Horsu.—Mr. Ganson (N. Y.) made a report
from the Committee on Elections that neither
Mr. Loan, the sitting , member, nor Mr. Bruce,
the contestant, were entitled to a seat from the
Seventh Congressional District of Missouri.
The House resumed the consideration of the
bill to erect a penitentiary, jail. and house of
correction in the Distrigt of Columbia.
Mr. Patterson (N. H.) replied to the charge
made by Mr. Washburne (M . ?) that he (Mr.
Patterson) had voted $135,000 for extending
the Charleston Navy Yard, an extravagant
appropriation, and reported to be a swindle as
it turned out to be. He said it was hardly cour
teous to make such a charge and proceeeded
to justify his vote. He made the general re
mark that if any man charged him with wil
fully voting for a corruption fund, or for a
swindle, he hurled back the infamous charge,
with scorn and contempt, into his teeth.
Mr. Washburne (Ill.) said - the gentleman
yesterday made an insinuation against him,
and he stood by what he said on that occasion,
that the appropriation partook •of the
character pf a swindle. He did not
accuse Mr. Patterson of voting for a corruption
fund, but for what turned out to be a swindle,
not intending any reflection on any man in the
House.
Mr. Patterson, in view of this explanation,
exonerated the gentleman.
Messrs. Morrill and Kasson briefly showed
that the appropriation was judicious.
