THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC
WASHINGTON, April 16.—Despatches from
the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac
state that yesterday about noon a party of rebel
cavalry made an attack on the pickets at Bris
toe ;Station, but were driven off afier a brisk
skirmish.
One man was killed and two were wounded,
belonging to the 13th Pennsylvania. Several
of the wounded were carried off by their com
rades.
The mail train with Gen. Grant aboard had
just passed a few minutes before the attack
was made, and it is supposed the intention was
totApture him.
The body of Capt. McKee, of the 21st In
fantry, who was killed-by guerillas on Monday
last, was forwarded to Washington to-day.
The man who shot him was named W. Flan
ders ,and he, with three others, made an at
tack on a picket post near - Catlett's, on Wed
nesday, when he was shot dead by a soldier of
the 2d Infantry.
TEE MASSACRE AT FORT PILLOW. 7.
WAsmrseroN, April 16.—Yesterday after
noon about 5 o'clock, despatches were received
here from General Sherman confirming the
news of the surrender of Fort Pillow
and the brutal conduct of the rebels imme
diately afterwards, which bids fair to be amply
retaliated in that quarter in due time.
The Star says according to General Sher
man's report,our loss was 50 white troops killed
and 100 wounded, and 300 black troops mur..
dered in cold blood after the surrender.
Fort Pillow is an isolated post of no value
whatever to the defence of Columbus, and
utterly untenable by, the rebels, who have no
doubt left that vicinity ere this, having iliac"
disappointed, with considerable loss, in the
object of: their raid thither, which was the
capture of Columbus, whence they were
promptly and severely repulsed, with no loss
to us.
We are satisfied that due investigation will
show that the loss of Fort Pillow was simply
the result of a mistake of a local commander,
who occupied it against direct orders, a con
ingency incident to all wars.
The rebels, according to the official des
patch received here last evening, effected no
thing at Paducah, losing a soldier killed and
wounded for every horse they succeeded - in
stealing, and doing us no other damage than by
a few thefts.
It is believed that Forrest's raiders will next
appear in the vicinity of Memphis where they
can effect no more than they did at Columbus
and Paducah, and stand a very fair chance, in
deed, of finding theMselves surrounded by
overwhelmingly superior forces.
PROM INDIANA.

it Referring to the recommendations of the Presi
dent on this subject, in his annual message, the
Cornmittke say that the vast number of laboring
men. estimated at nearly a million and a quarter,
who have gone to the war, have created a vacuum
which is sincerely felt in every part of the coun
try in the industrial pursuits of farming, mining,
shipping, manufacturing and in the construction
and repair of railroads. This labor can only be re
placed by, immigrants from foreign countries.
Notwithstanding the disturbed' condition of the
country, the committee say there has never been a
lime when the industrial classes of Europe have
had their attention so much directed to emigration
In response to inquiries of the Committee, the
Secretary of State has furnished much valuable
information on this point derived irom Zhm repre
sentatives abroad.
The bill reported by the Committee provides for
the app intment of a Commissioner of Emigra
tion. who shall not be a Bureau. officer but shall
be subject to the direction of the Secretary of State.
The second section provides that contracts may
be made for the passage of emigrants.
upon pledge of their wages for repayment which
shall be a lien on any land they may acquire after
their arrival in this country. The 3d section pro
vides that the Secretary of the Treasury may re
duce the tonnage duties on vessels bringing Immi
grants. The 4th section declares that no immi
. grant. availing himself of the provisions of this
act, shall be liable to military duty during the
present war. The sth section provides for the es
tablishment of an office of immigration in N. Y.
city to be filled by a, superintendent who may
make contracts for the inland transportation ofim
migrants, to be paid for by them and who shall
protect them against fraud or 'reposition.
The remaining sections provide that no person
shall hold office under the act who is interested in
the sale of any lands, or in the furnishing of any
transportation, directly or indirectly. - •

FRIGHTFUL DISASIER IN NEW
YORK HARBOR.
[From the N. y. Tribune, of April 16.]
A terrible disaster occurred in the harbor yester
day afternoon. The U. S. war steamer Chenan go,
Commander Fillebrown, sailed from the Navy
Yard for Hampton Roads. She was to have an
chored at the buoy at Sandy Hook until to-day,
hen she would have been joined by the`double
turreted iron-clad Onondaga, which she was to
have convoyed South. Bat her -career was out
short by a fearful disaster.
About 4P. M., when off Fort Richmond, and
going ahead under easy steam, without the slight.
est suspicion of danger, her port boiler exploded
with aloud report, tearing up her decks and play
ir g havoc among the unfortunate engineers and
firemen. One poor fellow was blown overboard
syd picked up in a most dePlorable condition, and
thirty-two others, including three of the engineers
were most horribly scalded.
One of the men, whose name we could not learn,
was instantly killed. As soon as the disaster be
came known the United States revenue cutter
Bronx hastened to the relief of the Chewing°.
After ascertaining from Capt. Fillebrown the na
ture of the accident, the commander of the Bronx
beaded for Quarantine, and speedily -brought off
several physicians to take charge of the sufferers.
The U. S. steam transport Tilley, Capt. Bonnie,
from Alexandria, coming up the Bay, witnessed
the explosion, and also immediately went to her
assistance, doing a great deal of good. The little
tug Rose, which was near at hand, likewise ren
dered all the aid in her power. The Tillie and tug
and the cutter Bronx ' took the disabled vessel in
tow and brought her to the Navy Yard,
Among those severely scalded are :
Ist Assistant Engineer, . Joseph N. Cahill (In
charge).
2d Assistant Engineer, Albert S. Murray.
2d Assistant Engineer,
Frank P. Root.
No sooner had the sad news reached the Navy
Yard tt an Commodore Radford, who, in the ab
sence of Admiral Paulding at Washington, on
court-martial duty, was in charge, called into re
quisition all the hacks and wagons which he could
command, and as fast as the scalded men were
brought ashore they were tenderly lifted into the
vehicles and conveyed to the United States Marine
Hospital. Here Surgeon Smith, and hie competent
corps of assistants, aided by the surgeons of the re
ceiving -ship North Carolina, and all the other
medical gen tleinen on duty on the numerous ves
sels at the Yard, received the sufferers and admin
istered to their relief.
• Onr reporter, who visited the hospital at an
early hour, was unable to procure the names of
the injured men. Most of them were suffering too
severely to be able to give any infOrmation, and
the authorities of the Hospital. up to a late hour
last evening, had not been furnished with a list
by the officers or the Chenango. He takes pleas
ure, however, In testifying to the promptitude
with which due provision was made by Mr.
Curry, the steward, and his assistants, for the re
ception of the patients, and the skill and devotion
with which the surgeons labored to alleviate their
teiribte sufferings.
Many of the poor fellows were literally flayed
alive, some of them being quite blind from the ef
fects of the steam. Their shrieks and groans were
painful beyond expression; great, stalwart men
implored the surgeons to give them something to
ease their pain. It was evident that several of
them were beyond mere human aid, and would
find in death a speedy easement of their sufferings.
REPORT OF CAPT. FILLEBROWN.
Capt. Fuleorown. in his report to Aulmiral
Paulding, of the disaster which betel !his ship.
says: . .
"About P. M., while abreast of Fort Rich
mond, the port boiler burst, whereby 33 of the
crew, most of them engineers and fir emen, were
severely scalded. One is dead, and the surgeon
thinks that many others will not survive. Meet
ing the tng.boat Rose, I put the scalded men on
boaro of her with directions to take them with all
despatch to the hospital. The revenue cutter and
other boats afforded us every assistance."
It was nearly 8 o'clock before the injured men
reached the hospital. But in thelnterval the sur
geons in charge on the boat did their utmost in
their behalf.
The Chenango was a double-bowed steamer, one
of the new vessels built at this port. Her boilers
and machinery were duly tested, according to the
regulations of the Navy Department, and the cause
of the disaster is thus far unaccounted for.

MEMORANDA..
U. S. 10-40 BONDS.
These Bonds are issued under the Act of Con
gress of Merck Bth, 1869, which provides that in
lien of so much of the loan authorized by tke Act
of March 3d, 1863, to which this supplementary,
the Secretary of the Treasury is authorised to bor
row from time to time, on the credit of the United
States, not exceeding TWO HUNDRED MIL
LION DOLLARS during The current fiscal year,
and to prepare and issue therefor Coupon and Re
gistered Bonds oithe United States; . and all Bonds
issued under this Act shall be EXEMPT FROM
TAXATION by or under any State or municipal
authority. Subscriptions to these Bonds are re
eerved in United States notes or notes of National
Banks. They are TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN,
at the pleasure of the Government, at any period
net len titan ten nor more than forty yeers . from their
date, and until their redemption FIVE PER
CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN,
on Bonds of not over one hundred dollars annually,
and on all other Bonds semi-annually.
The intere¢t is payable on the first days of March
and Septeniter in each year. The semi-annual
Coupons are payable at those dates, and the annual
Coupons on the di) and 100 dollar Bonds axe pays.
ble on the first of Marsh.
Subscribers will receive either Registered, or
Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered
Bonds are recorded on the books of the 11. S.
Treasurer, and can be tranaferred only on the
owner's order. Coupon Bonds are payable to
bearer, and are more convenient for commercial
uses.
Registered Bonds will-be Issued of the denomi
nations oi Fifty Dollars ($5O), One Hundred Dol
lars ($100), Five Hundred Dollars ($500), One
Thousand Dollars ($1,000), Five Thousand Dol
lars ($5,000), and Tea Thousand Dollars ($10,000);
and Coupon Bonds to the denominations of Fifty
Dollars ($5O), One Hundred Dollars ($100), Five
Hundred Dollars ($500), and One Thousand Dol
lars ($1,000).
Subscribers to this loan will have the option of
having their Bonds draw interestfrom March litt,
by paying the accrued interest in coin—{or
United States notes, ex the notes of Nations
Banks, adding fifty per seat. for premium} or
receive them drawing interest from the date of
subscription and deposit.
As these Bonds are exempt from mnnieipal er
State taxation, their value is increased from one
to three percent. per annum, aesording to the rate
of tax levied in various parts of the country.
At the present rate of premium on gold they ply
over eight per mit interest in currency, and are
cf equal convenience as a pet maaent or temporary
investment.
It is believed that no securities seer so great in.
dnoements to lenders as the Tartona descriptions
of U. S. Bonds. In all other forts of indebted
ness, the faith or amity or private whet; or stock
companiosor separate communities only is pledged
for payment, while for the debts of the 'United
States the whole property of the country is holden
to secure the payment of both principal and in
terest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from
$5O np to any magnitude, en the same terms, and
are thus made equally available to the smallest
let der and the largest capitalist They can be con.
slated into money at any moment, and the holder
will have the benefit of the interest.
The tact that all duties on imports are payable
in specie furnishes a land for like payment of in
terest on all GoTernment-Bonds largely In excess
of the wants of the treasury for this purpose.
Upon the receipt of subecriptlons a certificate at
deposit therefor, in duplicate, will be issued, the
original of which will be forwarded by the sub
scriber to the Secretary of the Treasury, at Wash
ington, with a letter stating the kind (registered or
coupon) and the denominatical of bonds required.
Upon the receipt of the original certificates at
the Treasury Department, the bonds subscribed
for will be transmitted to the subscribers respec
tively.
Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer
of the United ASstates at Washington, and the Assist
ant Treasurers at Philadelphla,New York, Boston,
and by the
