outk during the afternoon, when a portion of the ad-
ty-five miles above Falmouth, dispersing a small
bodi of the enemy -near the ford,' and discovering
that it was guarded by .dismounted cavalry pickets
on ttie opposite side. .
Eving the night, a force under Lieut. Col. Curtis,
of tide Ist Massachusette Cavalryr,"was detailed to
ad - Wince toward the railroad at Bealeton Station,

fordahortly after daylight, the advance guard found
it wdl defended by dismounted cavalry sharpshoot
ers, poncealed in houses and behind trees and fences.
Theapproaches to `the ford on both Bides were ren
derelVimpassable by strong abattis, while the water
was over four feet deep.
After several-attempts to cross under a hot fire, a

Strzponic, Ya., March 17.—At one oicloek this
morning, two sections of Oapt. Davis' 7th Massa
chusetts Battery, and the 11th Pennsylvania Caval
ry, were despatched by Major General Peck, under
command of Colonel Speiir, to attack the enemy in
his entrenchments on this side of the Blackwater,
opposite Franklin.
We were to make the attack at daylight, but,
owing to the bad condition of the roads, found it
impossible to do so until nine A. M. At this hour
the attack was made in good earnest. Small arms,
heti* guns, and cavalrY were used on both sides.
The ht lasted for nearly an hour, and was high
ly spiri .ed in its character.. Two separate cavalry
chaiseawere made on the fortifications. These were
found to literally lined with infantry, who poured
a deadly,fire into our ranks, wounding many in the
first reharge, which was made by Major Stratton.
The major.waa wounded in the shoulder, also Lieut.
Mowday in the side of the hip. The latter. it is

The second:charge was conducted by Major Cornog
in person, who took his men up to; and up and down
in front of the fortifications, to 'try, and jump the
ditch, &c.; but the move was soon , found to be im
practicable.
The enemy opposed a heavy force of infantry and
cavalry to the right and left of. our. position, in order
to try and outflank us; but with little show of suc

POUT ROYAL, March 13.—The immense prepara

eyes'of the whole country, both of patriots and of
rebels, to this Department, are almost completed, at
least as far - as the army is:concerned, and the signal
from Admiral DuPont is all that is required to inau
gurate a movement. When the signal will be made
I cannot guess any better than any one else, and 'I
shall not attempt to say.
CAPTURE OF A SIGNAL PARTY.
Yesterday the common topics of conversatiork were
replaced by the excitement growing out of a pretty
bit of enterprise;on the part of the rebels. A couple,
of boat loads, numbering probably twenty-live, ac
tually had: the boldness to come upon Hilton Head
Island and carry off nine of our men. For a month
or more John Secesh has picketed Bull's Island,
which is separated from our territory by Scull creek,
and our own men have almost daily had a sight of
them. The usual precautions against raids on the
part of these fellows had not beep neglected, so far
as we were concerned, and a line of pickets guarded
our side of the creek. At Spanish Wells, a plants
tion on the borders of the stream, a signal station,
forming part of the communication from headquar
ters to 'Fort Pulaski,was established several months
since, and a guard of a sergeant , and six men pro
tected the signal officer and his assistants.
.The enemy could not have failed to observe the
telegraphing, and probably was, of opinion. that this •
compel atively unprotected place afforded a fine field
for distinguishing himielf. Accordingly, availing
himself of a very dark night, and a misty strum. ,
phere, he sailed over, landing quietly between two
of the picket stations, and, making a detour, suc
ceeded in reaching the rear of the old house, where
the guard and Signal men were quartered. The rest
was an easy matter. To the shame of the guard' be
it said, the sergeant and three of his menwere asleep
within the house and the other three;to all intents
and purposes, might as well have been enjoying a
good sleep outside. They were completely surprised
- and 'captured, without makings any show of resist
- ance. Their fate, whatever it may be, will , be too
good for them.- Every man of them deserves to be
shot. The worst of the case is, that the signal-men,
Whom these careless fellows were detailed to pro
tett, were victims of the gross neglect of duty.
The names of the telegraphers are Lieutenant T.

vening, ten miles between their camps and the
" Wells "on the double-quick. They did not arrive
in time to cut off the retreat of the marauders.
FEELING IN CHARLESTON AND SAVAN-
Three deserters were brought here this evening.
They are from`one of the Savannah regiments, and
surrendered themselves at Fort. Pulaski. , People of
Savannah and Charleston are reported to be,intense
ly excited in anticipation of the impending - attack.
When our iron-clads experimented on Fort McAllis
ter the other day, the
~ Savannians were confi
dent that we were" coming after. them. These
deserters are of opinion that the fort . could
not have held out if the - bombardment had
been prosecuted an hour longer. A. 15-inch shell
breached the bomb. proof, but did not explode.
There are three iron-clads in course of construction
and three already finished, and very little remains
to make the defences of Savannah as perfect as re
bel skill can make them.—N. Y. Times.
DEPARTMENT OF THE TENNESSEE,
Surprise and. Rout of a Rebel Guerilla
Band in Attest Tennessee—Twenty-two
Killed and Thirty-one Captured—Some
of the Horrors of the Rebel Conscription,
We take the following account of the surprise and
rout of Richardson's guerillas in West Tennessee,
from The Memphis Bulletin of the 13th. It will be re
membered that a small force, just recruited by" Gen.
Robert F. Looney, was captured about the same
time, together with their commander. Richardson
and his followers, it appeara, were-out-and-out land
pirates, thieving, and forcing 'contributions from
friend and foe :
It appears that the attack was made from the
south by Colonel Grieresort, and'Richardson , s force
attempted to make a vigorous tight. The attacking
and opposing force were about equal, and the fight
was a warm one, lasting about six hours. Richard
son's men were poorly prepared to fight, but made
the best use of their means, fighting as they retreat
ed. The line of their retreat was toward the north.
Twenty-two of their men were found killed on, the
field, and thirty-One of the prisoners taken in the
engagement are already in the Irving block.
Among them is the notorious guerilla Cushman,
who was recently captured near Fort Pillow, and
subsequently escaped from Columbus,. Kentucky..
Cushman, it seems, had joined Richardson's band,
and in the fight Of Tuesday- was wounded in the
right arm, the ball entering above the wrist, and
coming out near the elbow. Cushman is a hardL.
looking Christian,
and if there is anything in looks,
he is a bad man. Only a portion of the command of
Colonel Griereson had returned, and they with pri
soners, and there is reason'to believe that the defeat
and dispersal of Richardson _was even worse than
the first report made it. As already stated, the en
tire camp was broken up, twenty-two of them are
known to :have been killed, and thirty-one taken
prisoners. The number of their wounded is un
known. ' In fact, the full measure of success cannot
be ascertained until the pursuit is given up. Only
two men are known to have been killed on our side.
There was a report that General - Looney was
among the prisoners brought in last night, but if he
was, we - did not see him. General Looney, it
seems, was sent out to recruit in Weft Tennessee.
He was opposed to Richardson's thieving opera
tions, and reported him to General Pemberton, who
at once ordered Richardson to report at Grenada.
This he refused to do, feeling that the Confederates
could not send a force and take him, as he was hem
med in and protected by Union bayonets. Richard
son is said to have done a big business in the con
scripting line. He forced every one who was able to
do so to pay him $l,OOO for release from military
duty, and divided, with some show of liberality,
with his men The consequence was he managed to
keep a goodly number -of desperate men with him.
All who could not pay $6OO for exemption had to be
conscripted.

INTENDED REBEL RAID FROM MOBILE.
UNITED STATES' STEAMER SIISQUEITA_NNA, OFF
MOBILE, March 3, 1863.—1 take this, occasion to -re
mind you that we are all alive and kicking. Three
deserters from rebeldOm came off to the fleet last
week. Their namee - are William Holton, of New
Orleans ; James Carr, of New York, and Michael
Dillon, of Ireland. They obtained a boat on Friday,
February 20, from the flist lieutenant of the rebel
gunboat Selma, to which they belonged, to go oya
teringin the vicinity of Grant's Pass, which is an
artificial water communication or canal, joining
Bay with Mississippi Sound, and by adroit ma
noeuvring they succeeded in getting beyond the
reach of the guns of the steamer And into such shoal
water that the Selma could not pursue them. They
then pulled for the gunboat Clifton in the sound, -
and succeeded in reaching her on donday morning,
the 23d ultimo, after a hard struggle with the winds
and the waves for about sixty hours.
I learn from James Carr that some four weeks
since, Admiral Buchanan, of the rebel navy, in com
mand at Mobile, started to come out and attack us
in the mid-watch with five steamers, including one
ram—namely, gunboats Morgan, Gaines, Selma,
ram Baltic, and the river steamer Crescent, the lat
ter loaded with troops for boarding purposes. While
on their way down th e bay the Selma struck a snag,
and was run ashore to keep her from sinking, which
put a stop to the expedition for the time; but the
attempt is to be made again,as soon as.they can :et
also learned that five gunboats have been in pro
cess of construction for a long time at a place called
Selma, up the Alabama river," and.two of them are
now on their way down to Mobile to receive their
guns, &c., but all of them are to be ready by the first
of April; two of them are built for rams, and the
other three are intended for sea steamers. They are
mere or less protected by-iron plating. The ma,
chmery of the new steamer-is of a mongrel charac
ter. It is composed of old river-boat engines altered
and arranged so as to suit the emergency.
I almost forgot to mention that about the 10th
ult., as I learn from James Carr, there was -fin
effort made to reach this. ship with a submarine
torpedo, which was to be attached to the bottom of
the ship and be discharged dr exploded by means of
clock-work, that was ; arranged to run ten minutes
before igniting the powder, that being considered
time enough to allow, of, the escape of the parties
from the region of _danger ; but, life all previous
efforts of that particUlar kind, the machine failed to
reach its object, and subsequently sunk.
INTERESTING FROM GALVESTON.
The United States supply steamer Union, Lieut.
Commanding Edward Conroy, arrived at New York
yesterday.. She left Arkansas Pass, on the coast of
Texas, February 25, and communicated with the fol
lowing places : Yalasco, Galveston, Sabine Pass,
Ship Island, Mobile, St. Andrew, Pensacola, St. Jo
seph, East and Wes Pass of St. Georges, St. Marks,
Cedar Keys, Tamp Bay,. Charlotte Harbor, Key
West, New Inlet, a d arrived at Port Royal 13th
instant ; - left the next day, and communicated with
the fleet off Charleston and Hampton Roads.
The. United States steamettFlorida arrived off
Charleston, having in tow the iron-clad Nantucket.
The weather was clear and pleasant.
The Union left New "York on the 24th of January
with supplies for the South Atlantic and East and
West Gulf blockading squadrons. She brought
home one hundred and fifty sick and discharged sea
men.
REBELS ERECTING- BATTERIES AT GAL
VESTON.
We learn by the Union that at Galveston the re
bels have erected quite formidable batteries, Which
are mounted with the guns taken off the Harriet
Lane and Westfield. Three batteries are on the is
land on which the city is located, while Pelican Is
land is fortified equally strong. •
THE BLOCKADING FLEET.
The Federal fleet off the port consists of the steam
frigate Brooklyn, the gunboats Katandin, Sciota,
Kennebec, and the ICittatinney. The fleet approach
to within a mile and a half of the town, where they
anchor, and occasionally throw shells into the town
and forts; but they cannot bring their broadsides to
bear, and have to operate exclusively with their
rifled pivot guns.
In the afternoon of the 12th ult., the,,Brooklyn
steamed up to easy range of cPelican 1 and
threw a number, or shells into the fort, shooting
down the flagstaff, which, however, was replaced by
a Secesh officer, who, amidst the shell and shot from
the Brooklyn, planted a new one, and hoisted the
stars and bars.
On the 24th the Brooklyn sent a few shellsinto the
town, and fired the city in three different places,
which, however, was soon put out. The Brooklyn
had to withdraw, however, as the fort began to send
shot from their fifteen-inch rifles, one of which cut
the rigging.
The captured steamer Harriet Lane is up the
river some seventy miles, where she is being iron
clad.
A GALLANT AFFAIR—DESTRUCTION OF A
REBEL SCHOONER,
Thumb STATEB GUNBOAT g ACIAMOIrg,
AT SEA, March 9, 1863.
AR quiet along the Gulf at present, but on the
eastern coast we have, in some degree . , been annoy
ing the enemy recently. On the morning of the Ist
instant, happening to be steaming along off Musketo
Inlet, we discovered the topmasts of a schooner
looming above the trees inside the inlet. The river
at this point is - very intricate and full of shoals, also
bluffs makeup along the shore, forming an excellent
spot for an ambuscade ; and which, by the way, was
used by the enemy about one year ago, and resulted
in their capturing the boats, with their officers and
crew, belonging to the United States bark. Fernan
dina.
Our captain, therefore, not deeming the schooner
worthy the risk, did not send the boats in, but• get
ting within as short range as possible, threw over a
few "Parrots, ' hoping they might induce the rebels
to fire her; but, the shells not reaching her, they
did not have the wished-for effect. As we were
about leaving the place a large portion of the crew
signed and sent in a petition to the captain, request
ing permission to go in and burn the sohooner, and
officers immediately- volunteering, consent was
given.
Accordingly, before daybreak the following day,
the expedition left the ship, in charge of Acting
Master's Mate J. A. Slamm, proceeded cautiously
up the river, meeting with no resistance on the way.
When within a nine of the schooner,a party was
seen to run on board and then quickly eave, and the
same instant she was discovered to be on fire. Pull
ing as strong and as fast as possible, the boats soon
reached her, and, while in the act of boarding, a vol
ley of bullets was showered upon them, killing one
man and wounding five, among the latter Acting
Master's Mate F. E. Ford, in charge of first cutter.
Instantly, the howitzer sent back a charge of canis
ter where the light smoke curl was seen, andjudging
from the yells and groans which immediately follow
ed, more than one traitor laid down his arms. Only
one of them showed himself, and he, while in the act
of aiming his rifle, was shot dead by Mr. Ford.
The schooner proved to be upward of 160. tons 'Mir
den, laden with cotton, and apparently ready to sail.
Being satisfied that she,was well fired, the object of
the expedition being accomplished, they returned to
the ship, on the way throwing shrapnell and canis
ter among the trees and bushes that line the river
banks, occasionally receiving a scattered fire from
the enemy, but meeting with no further casualties
than aforementioned. This little affair reflects credit
upon the crew and the officers, in charge, who were
all only acting master's mates, it I except one third
assistant engineer, F. G. Coggin,
CAPTURE OF ANOTHER PRIZE, WITH A
REBEL CAPTAIN AND ELEVEN 'MILITIA
MEN.
A few,days since another expedition left the ship
for Indian river, where they succeeded in capturing
the Engirt& schooner Charm, with twenty odd bales-,
Sea Island' cotton. Beside her master and crew,
were nine:assengers, endeavoring, to escape to the
happy:land of Nassau. One of.the passengers is a
Captain Dorrety, C. S. A. (uniform =and all.) He
swore he had'no weapons of war, but, alas for the
eccentricities of genius ! he carried a revolver in his
boot leg. The only regret he has is in allowing him
self and eleven men to be taken by a party of seven.
Quarters are now awaiting him at Fort Taylor.
Thus, you see, we endeavor to keep up some little
excitement, 'to prevent ourselves from growing
molidy. .

READABLE SKETCH OF KEY .WEST.
VETTED STATES STEAM FRIGATE VOLDRiDD,
KEY WEST, Fla, March 1. 1.863.
This little island is orke of the col:artless low caw,-
or keys, that form the chain:that encircles the-south
ern extremity of the coast of Florida. It is one of
the largest of them. It is of coral formation, and
the white bottom imparts a peculiar tinge to , the
water around it, softening the deep blue of the gulf
and the ocean, to an inimitably beautiful pale eme
rald.. The name Key West, I am told, is a corrup.:
tion by Anglo-Americans of the Spanish Gay-Hues
ea (pronounced kay-whessa) lele of Hones.
It is about five miles long, withan average breadth
of one mile. It is about fifty miles west by north of
Cape Sable, the southern extremity of Florida
peninsula. The city is a straggling town of about
3,000 residents, not including the soldiers and sailors.
here on Government account. It is chiefly built of
wood, painted white, and the better class of houses
are surrounded by verandahs, and embosomed by
groves of cocoa-nut trees. These give a peculiarly
tropical appearance to the place, with their. tali
'ringed trunks, shaped like a Dahlgren gun„ thei r .
long fern-like stems and leaves clustering into
bunchy top, like the palm-tree. These huge leaves
or stems with leaves attached in two. regular rows
on' the outer edges, range from three to fifteen and
even eighteen feet in length. The nut& grow nestling
near the heart of the cabbage-like top, at the junc
tion of the stems with the trunk.
THE GARRISON.
The place is held by the 90th New York, who.
mount guard day and night at every street corner.
A new barracks has been built, and is now occupied.
by them. Four companies of the.47th Pennsylvania
Regiment garrison Fort- Taylor. This is - a small
but strong work, built on the southwest point of the
island, or rather off that point; for a moat of some
200 yards in width, through which the sea tide•
passes, must be crossed before reaching,: the, fort.
The fort is built of a pale yelloWish brick, very hard;
founded on massive stone masonry. It is a semi
hexagon, three sides washed by, the sea, and the.
diameter facing the land and the moat. It is case
mated all round—has three tiers of guns beside
those en bdrbette on the ramparts. At the angles are
bastions that enfilade every approach.
THE BLACK BATTALION
Quite a sturdy battalion of black soldiers was
raised in this town., and a short time ago sent up to.
Hilton Head, - S. C. Slavery seems extinct in . the.
Key, and nearly all the colored people remaining
.here are the women, children, and old men. The rest
are off to the war. When our ship swung in to the
wharf, several negro and mulatto women game
aboard to offer their services as laundresses. Of
these, one bright young mulatto woman, of fine
figure and sedate countenance, was pointed out to
me by a gentleman acquainted in the place, as the
daughter of quondam United States Senator, now
secretary of the rebel navy, Mallory; and upon sub-_
sequent inquiry, the statement was confirmed by a
citizen.

The 26th annual session of this- body began at
Burlington.yesterday.. It comprehends that part of
the State lying south of the Old York road running'
from Lambertville to New Brunswick, thence ;by
the Raritan river and bay, including those two
cities. It comprises about 135. members. During
the past year only one of its members has passed ,
away by death. The venerable James Long de
parted this life on the lath of last January. Seven ,
members of the body have been in the service of the
country. as chaplains; two of whom have resigned,
and are on hand to re-enter the regular pastorate.
Most of the members are looking well, while a few
appear jaded and worn, from the effects •of sickness
and hard toil.
In the absence of the presiding Bishop, Rev. Dr.
Scott, Rev. G. E. Brown, D. D., was appointed
temporary , chairman, who called upon Rev. J. Loa
denslager to conduct the opening religious services.
The 4th chapter of 2d Timothy was read, thelooth
hymn, Try us, 0 God, and search the ground,” -
803., sung, and" a • very impressive and appropriate
prayer offered. When reference was made to our
bleeding country, tfie response that arose from those
present was so full and earnest as to reverberate
through the whole house.
As the Bishop did not appear, it became necessary
to elect a president. The ballot stood 71 for Dr.
Brown, and 5 for others. The Rev. H. 8.-Beegle
was re-elected secretary; and Rev. I. D. King as
sistant ;..Rev. J. IL Tames wait also elected statisti—
cal secretary. _
The balance of the sessioh was occupied in ap
pointing the usual standing committees, gathering:
in statistics, and othirpreliminary business. Among:
the committees is one on the state of country.
