Plambright, was organized at Pittsburg, Pa., Detober. 18,1261, being . pomposed of nine compa nies from lincaster, and one from Washington county..: The regiment arrived at Louisville October 21st, and on, the 24th reached Oamp Hevin, Ky. The strength of the ,regiment organization was 36 commissioned officers and 956 enlisted men. On the 17th of December, 1861, it reached Camp. Wood, and was immediately ordered out to reinforce the 32d Indiana, who were engaged across Green river. On the 7th of March, 1862, it reached Nashville, and encamped at Camp Andy Johnson, and 'on the 3d of April reached Columbia, and 'encamped at Camp Morehead, from which point . several extensive ex peditions were made—to Chattanooga, Florence, etc.. On May 10th the regiment left Columbia, and marched to Florence, driving off the enemy at Lamb's Ferry, and returned on the 21st, making 186 miles. On the 29th of May it left. Columbia, and marched to Chattanooga and back to Shelbyville, forty miles from Columbia, a distance of over three hundred miles, reaching Shelbyville June 12, having but one day's rest out of fifteen. On the 4thof June Col. Hambright routed Seven hundred rebel cavalry at Sweeden's Cove, under General Adams, and on the 7th engaged the enemy before Chattanooga. After making several other expeditions, the regi ment started from-Tullahoma for Nashville, and on the 3d of September started for Kentucky in advance of the main army. In August the regiment was, as signed to the 28th brigade, having been relieved from the 7th brigade (GeneralNegley) early in July. On the 16th September left Bowling Green with the main army, to follow Bragg's forces. On the Bth of 'October the 79th participated largely in the battle of Chaplin Hills, withstanding three different assaults . from six times their own number. For six hours the regiment stood a terrific fire, and at the close of the engagemhnt the line had not deviated'one foot from the place of its original formation for battle.' It en " ered the fight with .510 men rank and - tile, and lost two commissioned officers killed and three wounded; '35 men killed, 146 wounded, two captured, and one missing, making a total_of 189. On the 10th of : De , cember the regiment again arrived at Nashville with the main army, and on the 26th took up • the line of 'march - towards - Murfreesboro.

In May last, at the invitation of several citizens - of Columbia, Col. Hambright, raised the "stars and stripes" over the court house in that town: On the 4th,i3f July the regiment participated in-the celebra tion of the day by the loyal.citizeiiii of, Shelbyville, and in raising a flag over the,:einirt house. On the `departure of our troops from that section, and the approach of the rebels, the flag was taken down by the loyal people, who determined that it should not fall into rebel hands, and is now in possession of a refugee in this place, awaiting its time to be hoisted once more over the only truly loyal town lit Middle Tennessee. The regiment has been on picket and fatigue duty, or on the - march, nearly all the time since its musterinto the service.

ORLEANS, LA., March 7-10 P. .111., 1863 If I were not convinced that the incredulous apos tle, whose name I bear, is the rightful patron saint of al lnewspaper correspondents, I should be tempted into the expression of some opinion as to the possi bilities of the forthcoming . week. But only four of those artificial divisions of time , have elapsed since I indulged myself in a small way in setting forth the programme of what was' then believed to be immi nent—namely, an expedition under Gen. Weitzel for the purpose of "cleaning out" .the rebels in the Teche country. As you know, that has not come, off—it is now said in consequence of the obstacles exceeding the desirability of the end s and the result, if successful, involving the occupying of territory by Union soldiers who might be put to better use. " We can. have the Teche any time," said our offi cers, ignoring the inevitable .., , Esopian parallel of the fox and grapes. Now, however, we have a bigger job on hand. We are going,to try Port . Hudson. •MATTERS AT BATON ROUGE For the past week it has been understood in this city that some movement of importance was medi tated up the river. We heard of the despatch of the majority, of troops hitherto encamped at Carrollton and Donaldsonville to Baton 'Rouge, of the trans portation of batteries, large and small, to the same destination, of all the multifarious labor incidental to such an enterprise. We saw some of it, too, for our streets were unwontedly alive with artillery, caissons, and marching soldiers, on their way to the levee, the bayonets of the latter gleaming bright ly in the sunshine, or contracting premature rust in their sheaths, during the drenching , rain, for a New Orleans March verifies the proverbial fickle ness of the froward month with truly tropical hemence.. Three days ago General Augur started for Baton Rouge. Yesterday General Grover ar rived here, it is inferred, to consult with General Banks, and this evening both generals, with their respective staffs, have departed on board the Empire Parish for Louisiana's capital, and what lies be yond. General Banks takes the field in person, with the avowed object of assuming the offensive toward Port Hudson. HOW THE ATTACK WILL BE MADE. It is to be attacked simultaneonslyit is said im mediately—by land and water. While Gen. Banks approaches from Baton Rouge; Commodore Parra gut,.with his flagship Hartford, the Richmond, Mis sissippi, Genesee, Sportsman,ltasca—in short, all of our armed vessels and mortar fleet, with the soli tary exception of• the Pensacola—will either en deavor to run the gauntlet of the rebel batteries and engage their gunboats from above, subsequently as sisting in the reduction of. the place, or attack from both above and below. All of our gunboats not already up the river have. started within the last twenty-four hours, heavily freighted with ammuni tion..- So much has been written about Port Hudson of late that any additional information may seem su perfluous. The approach by land presents considerable difft culties. It must be made by means of the roads, for the naturally swampy country has been almost overflowed by the rising of the river,' and the rebels have, in all probability, destroyed the bridges. With fifteen miles of devious -locomotion between Baton Rouge and the point of attack, with all the obstacles attending the transportation of heavy artillery, our soldiers have no easy task before them. They are said to be hopeful, eager, and confident. As the telegraph between Baton Rouge and this city is in working order we shall have hourly ad 'Vices of what transpires. God send it bring us good THE CONTRABANDISTS The contraband trade between the rebels and their sympathizers in this city still: continues. Very re cently, Lieut. Col. Fisk, provost marshal of Donald sonville, detaining a schooner bound for Bayou La fourche, discovered on board, concealed in a couple of nail-kegs, certain canvas bags, full of gunpowder. They belonged to one Alexander Guillot, and were about to be - conveyed to a destination some 13 miles back of Donaldsonville. From three other kegs, owned by Thomas Hill, were also taken eight pounds of powder and fifty pounds of shot. Of course the property was seized-and confiscated. Its presence admits of another interpretation to that already as signed to it; it may have bees intended for planters apprehensive of revolt on the part of their negroes. 'ANOTHER .CAPTURE On the 3d of this month occurred a far more valua ble capture froni blockade runners, on the shores of Lake Ponchartrain. Starting from English Turn to a certain . point down the coast, officers Richardson, Fremont, and O'Connor, crossed the swamps and plantations to a place where a schooner was sus. pected to be lying in a lonely,bayou, awaiting her cargo of contraband goods for Dixie. Here the party surprised the captain of the vessel and three men, and, compelling the' former to act as guide, were piloted into the woods, where, after a brief. skir mish, they secured the rebels and $4,000 worth of property, the latter_ comprising clothing, boots, shoes, calico, hoop•skirts, coffee, whisky, lead, powder, combs, &c., and one thousand needles for sewing machines, all of which the officers brought, with their prisoners, to New Orleans.—N. Y. Tribune. A LOYAL TEXAN TAKEN PRISONER-HE IS TURNED OVER TO THE MOB AND MINS. [Prom the . New Orleans Era, MarCh 7.3 Private advicea from Texas inform us of. a moat infamous and inhuman crime, committed by the re bel officers of Texas and by a mob of citizens. It will be remembered that the United States transport Cumbria left this city for G-alveston just previous to the capture of the Harriet Lane, and the disaster which drove our gunboats from the harbor.; and that when the Cumbria approached Galveston all on board supposed the place to be in possession of our troops; whereas, in fact, it was in possession of the rebels. No pilot came out to pilot in the vessel, and finally a boat containing five men was sent ashore. These five'men were immediately seized and imprisoned by the rebels. One of them was " Nicaragua" Smith, who was tried for desertion from a rebel regiment and shot, as we have already announced in this paner. Another of the five was a man, named Cronain, ..a loyal Texan, who had fled from the State, and en listed in the Ist Texan Cavalry, under Colonel Davis, a regiment of loyal Texans organizing in this citY. Cronain had never been in the rebel service, and could not, therefore, be tried for - desertion; and so the military authorities turned him over to the mob, and he was hung. The only reason that could be alleged for this bar barous act, was the simple fact that Cronain was a Texan, and had enlisted in the United States ser- There is a large number of loyal Texans now in this city who have enlisted in the cause of the. Union, and they look to the Government to give them the same protection it extends to the rest of its soldiers. If we are, not mistaken, there is now at least one rebellious citizen of Texas in prison in this city. We refer to the individual who came - out in a heat and attempted to induce the Cumbria to. follow him as a pilot, with a view of getting her into the' hands of the rebels. DEATH OF RIR DIAGINNIS, EDITOR• OF NEW ORLEANS TRUE DELTA. . [From tbe N9w Orleans Picayunc, March 4.3 John Maginnis is no .more. After a lingering ill.. ness, he died at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. Sohn Maginnis was born in Dromore, county of Londonderry, Ireland, and was forty-nine-years.of age. He was for Many years a - resident of New Or leans, and long connected with the press. For about two years, from 1843 to 1845, he was attached to thia establishment. He then accepted a situation in the office of the Delta., and'held it until the summer of 1849. During the Mexican war, being then the busi ness manager of the Delta, he contributed greatly to the success of that journal by the enterprise he dis played in procuring news of the progress of the war. On the 18th of November, 1849; almost unassisted, he commenced the publication of the True Delta, and," after years of hard struggle, succeeded in making it one of the most popular, profitable, and influential journals in the city.

Mosby, of Fitzhugh Lee's command, arrived by the Central cars 'on Wednesday night, in charge of Lieutenant McClellan. Included in the number (the whole amounting to 29) were. E. H. Stoughton, brigadier general of the 2d 'Brigade, Casey's Division • A. Bar ker, captain of Company , L, 6th New York 'Cavalry; Robert - Wellbrient, a telegraph operator; R. War dener, an Austrian' baron • P. Pratt, a private in. Company F,'l6th 'Vermont; and orderly for General Stoughton. The prisoners were .taken in custody on the night of March 9, near . Fairfax Court House, by Captain Mosby and hie command ,- whose whose daring and intre pidity in making a successful raid within a few hun dred yards of the camp grounds of two Abolition brigades, and carrying off, without damage to them selves, he general commanding one of them, de serves the highestpraise. Most of the 29 men cap tured, including Gen. Stoughton an aristocratic specimens of Yankee manhood, with a profusion of gold 'lace on his coat, were aurprised in bed, and were, therefore, incapable of 'offering any resist ance, had they been so inclined. Stoughton occupied for his headquarters a spa cious dwelling, a few hundred yards from Fairfax Court House, and deemed himself perfectly secure... When his midnight slumbers were interrupted by Captain Mosby, who entered his room and desired; him to get Up, he deemed Lim one of his own men on a frolic, and angrily replied that if he did not olear. out he would order him under arrest for an Insult to his commanding general. Mosby asked Stough ton if he knew "Mosby, of Lee's Cavalry'?" "Yes." replied the irate' Yankee ; have you caught the of a b-1" "No,". replied, Mosby, " we..haven't,' 'but be has caught you,, so get up and prepare for a ride." The Yankee general soon had' a realizing sense of the surroundings, and prepared to. do as Mosby commanded. He was careful to: dress him self for the journey, but he and all of the others complain that time was not allowed them to saddle the horses, and they :were compelled to ride twentyllve miles onsthe bare backs of indifferent steeds, surrounded by Confederate dragoons, overt not the smoothest road known.

SOARCITY OFi LABORERS The railroad superintendents have begun to com plain of the want of hands on their respective lines, and some have petitioned Congress to allow them a detail of batting hands in order to do certain work necessary to keep these important thoroughfares in good running order. The question deserves the se rious consideration of those to whom it is addressed. The. success of the Confederate arms is in a great measure dependent on the efficiency of the railroads. There are able-bodied men held in various . civil and military prisons for trivial offences, supported-in idleness at great coat both to the States and Confe deracy';-whose labor might be made available in the present emergency. NAPOLEON 0-UNS. Specimens of these celebrated guns are now being cast in this city.' They are fashioned of braes, have a smaller bore, and are a third larger than the ordinary six-pounder. They are said to be most effective weapons. A number are now being made oul of church bells and the old French cannon so long deposited at the Virginia Armory. The Napoleons are smooth-bore guns. BURNSIDE AT PORT 'ROYAL. A correspondent of the Savannah Republican, dated'Oharleston, 11th instant, says intelligence has been received in official circles that General Buin side has been assigned to the Department of South Carolina and Georgia. The attack will be made within the next ten days, probably at spring tide, on the 19th instant. Burnside has already arrived and taken command. IMPRESSMENT OP SUPPLIES [From tie Eielimond Examiner of thenth inst.] We Bee that the impressment of supplies in some of the military departments of the .West is now made on the same principle as provided for in the bill before Congress. Gem Buckner has rescinded the order of the chief commissary of subsistence of his department, relative to the impressment of stores, and fixing an arbitrary tatiirof prices. He orders that hereafter all subsistence procured in any way shall be paid for at a fair valuation, to be deter mined, prif there cannot be an agreement in full, by disinterested arbitration. This is right. KILLED ON THE RAILROAD Among those who were killed in the late terrible railroad accident at Chunkey river, in Mississippi, was W. P. Grayson, formerly cashier of theßank of New Orleans. - He bad been for some time engaged as agent of the Government buying cotton." - When the accident occurred he had in his possession $40,- 000 in'currency, which has been recovered. BLOCKADERS OFF CHARLESTON. Charleston papers of the 4th inst say there were seven blockaders off that port on the 3d.

She was elitteed nineteen hours, but finally ran out of view, and on her way destroyed a new Yankee brig ocher first yoyage. ENROLLED CONSCRIPTS. Southern papers contain many advertisements for the enrollment of conicripts. THE DUTY OE ECONOMY-.A HINT TO OUR OFFICIALS. [From the Richmond Examiner, March 12. We reveal no secret of State or military impor tance when we say that this is a great trial now of our country, its legislators, its Government, the citi zens, and its army individually. ,The fact of the ne cessity of impressment from a loyal people of food and forage is sufficient to show that this is so. We will agree to put ourselves on half rations, and let the plough horse be stopped, if necessary, and even admit with the military Senator from Texas that an emergency might arise in which the last horse of the poor widow might be taken from the plough for the use of the army. But if sacrifices are made, let them not be for nothing, or worse, to pam per indolence and pride, and official insolence. When the great scarcity exists in the army, in the field, and among the people at home, shall food , and forage be torn from them and disposed of num cessarily and to the hurt of all, by feeding pleasure horses in the cities? It has become-notorious, that because the army regulations allow, in a peace es tablishment of a regular army in the field, forage for a certain number of horses in proportion to the rank of the officer, a great many officers have drawn forage for this number where these animals were not required in the public service. A recent order from the Secretary of War providing against this evil, if strictly administered according to the, spirit of the order, will go far to remedy it. The Confederate States authorities should never lose sight of the fad that this is a provisional army, temporary, and'for the purpose of accomplishing the object of this war. Economy in our finances, provi sions, medical supplies, and forage, is absolutely ne cessary, and nothing should be expended that is not necessary to accomplish our object. This order of the Department, and others of the same spirit, for all supplied for man or beast, - sick or well, should be framed and executed, not only in this city, but in all the cities of the Confederacy, in which the same abuses exist, and even in the army in the field, in BUM cases. We are prompted to these remarks and advert to the justice of this order of the department because we bear of an immense outside influence being ex erted by the large number pecuniarily and otherwise interested to have this order rescinded. So imposing is this , influence that we have heard doubts ex expressed whether the department would be able - to withstand it. We will watch and see. At any rate, surgeons who have their stations within a few blocks of their residences will no longer be allowed to keep or draw rations for two or three horses at Govern ment expense, who do nothing but stand idle in the stable, or perhaps dash their owners alongside the evening promenade onee - "or.twice kweek. It is rumored that: among 'thei many influences brought to bear against this measure is that of the fair ladies, who, having been accustomed to "eve ning rides and drives" along side of the starred and striped officers, have announced their determination not to submit without a struggle. Fiat justifies mat cerium. "Let stern, equal justice begone though all the heavenly creatures be down on us." As to the right of Govern ment to refuse to issue forage rations, and to commute for it when not necessary, we will state that it certainly has as much right to do this as to issue in certain cases half rations of food to men in the service, and frequently to omit the issue entirely of a part of the rations, and never afterward supply the omission or commute the amount of it to they soldier. We hope the Govern ment Will stand to this order. It is one of ths: best things ever. done, and.we cannot believe that any in fluence, however potent, can induce our authorities to rescind an order so eminently wise, proper, and necessary. FROM FREDERICKSBURG. [Correspondence of the Richmond Examiner. FREDERICKSBURG, March 11, 1863. Your correspondent has endeavored, in previous communications, to present your readers with some idea of the pecuniary losses and destruction of pro perty to, which the people here have been subjected. The personal suffering remains to be told. Much Of it, perhaps the greater part, will never, be known save to the - afflicted individuals themselves or their families, for the parties are naturally slow to ac knowledge their privations and necessities. Indeed, your correspondent, although fully acquainted with the population, was not aware of the facts of their condition until had made investigation. The in quiry was prompted by his observation of the return of many of the fugitives to their ruined homes. A ride through the region where they have sought refuge revealed the reason. The day was raw, and the roads one mass of mud of such consistency and depth as rendered it perfectly impassable, even on horseback. The hogpaths presented the only practi cal passage. Yet, on such a day, and along such a road, your correspondent met a lady of this place on foot, who, before the bombardment - , had lived in affluence, and whose home had been the very home of hospitality. She was' nly attended by her child, of eight or ten years, and the faithful house dog. The group . was thus, wending its way.to Fredericka burg, having already walked some five or six miles, and was then about the same difitance from their destination. The want of food had driven them to undertake the journey. There 'were citizens of Frederickiburg,. whose homes had .heretofore been - cheered by comfortable circumstances. They were now' huddled around a few burning sticks which had been gathered by the old man's trembling fingers, and the feeble flame flickered, and they shivered with each blast of the wintry wind that blew its chilling breath through many a crevice of their humble abodes The interior of the room showed the cleanliness of feinale care, but the slender clothing of the inmates and their supply of food were painfully apparent. Their whole reliance was the provision made by public charity, and the inclement weather and impassable roads had precluded them from the procurement of their regu lar aupPlies. The country around affords no subsis tence. - This is not a singular instance, for in the district which bore the brunt of the enemy's late devastation,. those who were possessed of a competence and en joyed every comfort are, in many instances, reduced to absolute indigence, while many who lived in opu-- lence suffer all the pangs of poverty. The late in habitants, for - the most . part, are domiciled in the houses, negro cabins, and shanties of the surround ing country, within a radius .of twelve or. fifteen miles. In some cases, as many as four or fiVe fami lies have taken refuge under the same - roof.

Lieut. Handy commanded the steamer Webb, ()apt . ..- McCloskey the Queen of. the West, witleCapt. Hut-- ton as executive officevof the fleet: • . The expedition started in, pursuit of the' United' States gunboat Indianola; and came up' with her, about five miles below New Carthage; at nine' o'clock last Tuesday night. The enemy were not aware of our approach until. we were, within about half a mile of her, when she rounded' broadside to' r having a coal barge alongside to protect her. The Queen of the West put on all steam - and ran into the Indianola, cutting the coal barge in two, and in juring the machinery of the enemy materially, when the action on both sides became general. The Webb' then butted at full speed, when the enemy, being much' damaged and in a sinking condition, was Tllll ashore' en the Louisiana side. The Dr. Batey coming up just at this time, was' ordered to board the enemy, and, as she approached,- the Indianola surrendered. The officers and crew., numbering about 120 men ' were all taken prisoners. An attempt was made to take the prize to Natchez r but, 'the Indianola being in a sinking condition, it was necessary to run her on a sand-bar, on the Nis sissippi side, and the Queen of the West was sent up to Vicksburg to procure mechanics to repair da mages. The Indianola is a formidable iron -clad, mounting foUr heavy eleven-inch guns. Our loss was.two killed and five Wounded. That of, the enemy was unknown. AN OFFICIAL c REPORT OF THE" AFFAIR.

Considerable Rebel Force at Gloucester ``Court'House—They Threaten' Gloucester Point—Preparations to Repel an Attack. • Yonmrowir - , VA., March 14, 1863. It is reported that there are between two and three thousand of 'the rebels at Gloucester Court House, which is fifteen miles from the fortifications at GiOu cester' Point. Their pickets hare been seen for several days within a mile of our outposts. They may not have any hostile intentions ; but their ac- - bons would warrant the belief that they are pre meditating an attack on our forces at the Point. If such is the case, they, will accomplish nothing but their own destruction, for the earthworks are well constructed and strong, and they contain a sufficient - force to keep double the reported number -of the enemy at bay. - A battalion of ihe 2d Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry and a battery have been sent ' there, and I understand are to remain. permanently. Brigadier General Busteed Min command. All the roads that approach the Point are within range of the heavy guns at Fort Yorktown, and also of the • gunboat Mahaska, which lies in the river just above the fort.
