The anxiety of the North to, hear stirring news
from this quarter caiinot exceed of
the troops in General Hunter’s command to hear
the order which shall hurl them against the enemy,
Thiß feeling of re&tivenesa hais existed for a number
of weeks, and is now approaching the point of culmi

of divination, I can neyerthelesß aver that it will
Bpeedily find vent for healthy exercise ihihe severest,
and as I hope to record, the iiosfc brilliant engage
ment of the war., f
Preciscly.when the grand issjuc will arrive it is not
the purpose of the present epistle to declare. But I
believe I may, without impfudenca, assert that April
will tell the story—that the"same month which wit
nessed the inauguration of the rebellion, inthehar-.

joyous witness to its crushingjdefeat. -Thepeopie of

During the past..few weeks I am informed that
numbers of female nurses hare arrived at this point
from the North, to minister jto the comfort and al
leviate the sufferings of those who may endure the
caeualtiee of war. Several of these philanthropic
. ladies .arrived yesterday ia\the Arago. The self
sacrificing spirit which thejj have thus evinced ex
alts them above all commendation. Buchanan Reed
has written a beautiful vpoem, dedicated to x the
“Brave at v Home,” whieir fenders a just tribute to
-the noble-hearted women of the North, who have pa-.
ticntly endured at home thejsofrows that wait upon
-a separation from their brptiers, sons, and .husbands,.
in this war-time I am not quite Bure that they
arc not more heroic, who, filled with a proud con
sciousness of-their holy mus Lon, have not been con

Having gained an interview with Major General
. Hunter yesterday, I waß ptruck with the decision of
character evinced in the.tones of his voice, and the
expression.- of his features in the few moments of
conversation which followed. The cartes de visite of
of him which adorn photographic galleries in Phila
delphia make him stouter than he really is, while
they fail to give him credit for a bronzed! com
plexion earned in his campaigns. In other particu
lars they are generally I am inclined to
think General Hunter is a clear thinker and a sturdy
Boldier, His speech is measured, and always to the;
point.; His outward appearance gives hot the
slighest tokenof his. military rank. . There are
no; shoulder-straps, gilt buttons, or any pother,
such gew-gaws ~v isiblein Ms dress, which consists
simply of a plain; suit of black cloth. His quarters
are equally plain style. They are. in a white

in this post until yesterday: ;
Headquarters Department of the South, •
. P.ort Royal, S. C., March 19,-1863.
GENERAL ORDER No. 21.
I, All able-bodied male negroes* employed by the
Engineer Department on permanent fortifications,
are exempt from Jhe operations of General Order
No. 17, current seiieß from these headquarters.
11. All plantation superintendents, tradesmen,
■ sutlers, landholders, speculators, and others within
the department, «ire hereby cautioned against har
boring, secreting, or keeping in their employ, able
bodied male negroes liable to the draft. All negroes
in private service, except those in the employ of
commissioned officers, as provided for in: general
order No. 17, will he immediately reported to
Brigadier General. Rufus Saxton, commanding
United States fortes, Port Royal Island^ - and none
will be exempted except on medical certificate of
disability, to bej approved after personal exami
nation, by a.board of not less .than three medical
officers, who will ! be appointed by General Saxton
from among the [medical staff detailed by the sut
geon general for attendance on the troops, ah
persons contravening the 1 provisions of this order -
will subject. themselves to. the Confiscation; of their
goods, and to be'sent out of the department by the
rst vessel going'North.
111. Various complaints having been brought to
the notice of these headquarters of the fact that,
negroes ; employed, otherwise than in the public
service have been, and are, defrauded of their just
earnings by the avarice of-masters who take ad
vantage of their- ignorance, all such complaints will ,
hereafter be brought ; before the commander of the
post in which the employers- reside, and will be in
vestigated and decided upon by an officer who will
be detailed for this duty-by such post commander.
On the report jof this officer, the post commander
.will issue the necessary orders giving-redress to the
injured party, f
By command of Major Generarlx Hunter.
CHARLES G. HALPINE, A. A. G.
Although the above order was a necessary conse
quence of Order No. 17, it has exercised speculators,
here quite as much as did the original manifesto. I
have not the justice of its provisions any
where called ih question; but still the sutlers, et id
omne genus, are anything but pleased with it. They
could hire negro labor very cheaply—so cheaply, in
deed, that some of them,! am told, have reaped
snug little fortunes by taking advantage of the igno
rance of the'cdntrabandfl, who, accustomed all their
lives to toil without any compensation, have jumped
at the, chance of being their own “bosses, 51 and
earning a livelihood.
General Hunter visited Beaufort yesterday. To
day he will review the troops on St, Helena Island,
and an attractive display will, doubtless, be made.
•. KTAitCH 27.—The hews published,imtne Savannah
papers of the 24th fnstant, that Admiral Farragut
had succeeded in passing Port Hudson and captu
ring Natchez—or at least rendering it tributary to
the muzzleß of his guns, is received with no little
satisfaction, clearing up, as it does, to a great ex
tent the fearful-, doubts occasioned by previous re
ports from the Southwest. .General confidence is
now expressed that the control of the entire Mis
sissippi will shortly be in our hands, if it be not al
ready ao at this writing.
The review of troops at St. Helena Island, yester-'
day, was‘a very - splendid affair hi every respect, and
was marred, by no unsuspicious incident. The
weather was delightful, the troops in cheerful mood,
and Gen; Hunter very well satisfied.
Considerable interest is ‘felt among oiir naval men
in the future career of the Keokuk, and the part she
is destined to take in the fight at'Charleston.'.Doubts
are entertained bv Borne as to the impenetrability.of
her turrets, they being stationary; ,but even should ,
tills objection prove true, it is fully counterbalanced
-by her light draught, an advantage Which will make
her truly formidable. . O. E. S.

NEW YORK CITY.
Special Correspondence of The Press. 3
New York, March 31,1863,
A “CRITTENDEN COMPROMISE”
of a highly refreshing description is occasioning
some discussion in political circles to-day, though
its inventor is not the venerable pacifiator from
Kentucky, nor is the question of itß propriety a
purely convention-al one. R. D. Crittenden, arrest - -
ed about a week ago at the Metropolitan Hotel in
this city, on suspicion of being a rebel officer in dis
guise, and quietly incarcerated in Fort Lafayette,
affirms that he. came North by way of Leonard
town, Maryland, for the purpose of having an in
terview in "Washington with two "United States
Senators, who had engaged with him as partners in
a project to run the blockade with a cargo of cotton!
He says that he had several interviews with his
Senatorial partners at the capital, and their plan for :
'the blockade-running was all definitely arranged,
before he came to this city to see another interested
party. At the Metropolitan Hotel he roomed with
a. Government official; but whether the latter had
anything to do with the proposed cotton specula
tion, or hot, he does not say.
Crittenden is a man about forty years old, and a
native of South Carolina. Previous to the war, he
was a member of the California Legislature, but
joined the Confederates at the outbreak of the re
bellion/and is said to have fought under a major’s
/commission at Antietam andSharpsburg, ■ His ar-'
rest here was kept a secret until Saturday, when a
report of it got into one of* the evening papers; but
hot until to-day has" the whole story come,to'the
public. If there be any truth in the prisoner’s
"statement, we may hope to- ascertain, before long, :
who the “compromised” Senators are. ‘
A LOYAL LEAGUE MEETING
in Jersey City, last evening was invaded by a gang
of copperhead ruffians, who attempted to.prevent
the reading of the resolutions. They saluted the
speakers with groans and threats, and- appeared'to
think they had everything their own way, when sud
denly about a hundred of loyal leaguers made a
spirited charge, and the coppery gentry found them
selves propelled into the street with more vigor
than consideration. Order being restored, stirring
speeches were made by. James T. Brady and others,
and.the League was duly organized.
On Thursday evening the great Union League
meeting in this city will take place.
AN ARMLESS HERO,
named Plunkett, is the military lion'pf the day, and
bids fair to . grow rich from the patriotic charity of
our. citizens. He was color-bearer in one'; of the
regiments'engaged in the final charge at Fredericks
burg, and was gallantly bearing ’the colors before
his comrades, when a shell struck him and tore off
both his arms. Being thus disabled, and having no
relatives to return home to, the poor fellow went
into hospital to receive what aidjthere was in medi
cal skill, and then, came to this city and found re
fuge at the New England Rooms. His case was
made know to the public in yesterday’s papers, and
presently Sergeant Plunkett found himself in as:
much demand for . flattering company as though he
had been a successful brigadier. Citizen after .citi
zen called at the Rooms to compliment him on his
bravery and tender him pecuniary marks of favor.
In the afternoon a delegation from the Board of
Brokers waited upon him with a handsome contri
bution. and to-day he has been similarly fortunate.
has experienced a rise again, in consequence of the
contradictory character of the latest war news from
Cairo and New Orleans, and is amongst the fifties
once more. Its recent decline was so impetuous that
an ultimate reaction was-certain, and the present
renewed advance does not at all alter the faet that
the late inflation resulted purely from the extrava
gance of a temporary speculative frenzy. It' only ■
shows that nothing like steadiness in specie can be
expected until a decisive national victory in some
direction breaks the present spell of nervous uncer
tainty.'
THE DEATH OF GEORGE L. DUYCKINOK,
a well-known writer of this city, took place yester
day morning, at the residence of his brother, Mr.
Evert A. Duyclcinck, INo. 20 Clinton place. De
ceased was distinguished in literature as the author
of the able biography of Herbert, the celebrated
English clergyman, and as the editor of a journal
called the Literary World, published in New York
some years ago. His best fame, however, rests in
his association with his brother as coedifcor of the
Cyclopaedia of American Literature,” issued in
- two large volumes, by Putnam, about six years ago.

[Special Correspondence of The Press,]
As I write the snow comes slowly down, and has
been doing so all the wintry day, for wintry it is
again, though nearly a month ago the charming
little wood violets made their first appearance, and
w 4 ail fondly fancied that this year, at least, the
May-pole would not be erected in a snow-bank; but
to-day stops such anticipations, and we at
cut our hopeß in the 6pf>dJ?ite direction, and look for
the oft-spoken-of, but seldom-realized, luxury of a
sleigh ride on Fast day—hot the President’s' fast,
but our own New-England fast—when, as a rule,
the good young men play ball on -the Common in
the morning, go to church in the middle of the day, i
sleep in the afternoon, and go to the Museuni in the
evening. . •
With the coming of spring all our shipyards are
beginning to. assume their usual bustle, after the
comparative torpor of the winter months. At the
yards in East Boston alone the keels are laid for a
dozen new ships and barks, besides several schooners
and smaller craft j the ravages.of the Alabama ren
der many new vessels necessary; and the general be
lief in Federal victories within a short time, which
will in a measure obviate the presenffAißadvantage
under which American vesselsjlabor,.imparts even
more than usual , vigor- to thiß branch; of industry.:
Donald McKay is about to resume work at his yard,
which has been closed for many mtnths, while the
Globe works, Atlantic works, Harrison Loring, and
Aquila Adams are busy on the new light-draught
monitors. Ail possible despatch is made upon the
larger iron-clads, Agamenticus and Canonicus, though
it is hardly probable they will be ready for sea for
some months yet, and work iB likely to be retarded
by a strike of the workmen, who wish to take ad
vantage of the large amount of Government work
on hand, which they weli knowthe contractors can
not delay beyond a certain point.
Several of our large cotton manufacturers are be
ginning to. turn their attention to Central America
for a partial Bupply of the raw material. ; Agencies
are about to be established in several- places in
: Nicaragua, where the quality of the staple is excel
lent, and labor said to be plenty, and cheap. ; Until
within a short time the soarcity and high price of
the article has only been a source of increased profit
to our.factories; but their stocksare becoming low,
and fresh quantities must be obtained, or the mills
stopped.
The Union Club, whose character is indicated by
its name, is rapidly receiving accessions of promi
nent members of society, and promises to be a most
eminent success. Their club house is to be the old
Lawrence mansion, on Park street, which is being
thoroughly renovated, to adapt it to its new use.
Horse railroads are fast becoming an institution,
not only as means of local convenience in the larger
towns, like Lowell, and Salem, and Springfield, but
to connect adjoining townß, between which there is
much active commerce. Dummy engines are being
contracted for, and promise to displace horses almost
entirely. Already hav.e. the street railway s become
ho popular tliat the graded railroads leading out of
the city have been obliged to reduce their rateß of
fare, and put on more trains, to accommodate the
local travel to the immediately adjoining towns, .
The pleuro-pneumonia, which killed bo many valu
able cattle throughout the State two years and more
ago, has again made its appearance in one or two
isolated instances, and was brought to the notice of
the Legislature, now in session, r which at once took'
the necessary measures to prevent, as. much as pos
sible, the progreßß of the disease, which seernsJalmoßt
incurable when once it attacks- a cow of sheep. In
this connection I may mention, that there is almost
a certainty of the establishment of an Agricultural'
College by the Commonwealth, where it is proposed
to teach only Buch branches as bear upon the culti
vation of the soil, illustrated by actual experiments
on a farm connected with the college.
Harvard College promises, with its hew president,
to be more useful than ever before. Mr. Hill is not
only a man of profound‘knowledge, but is tho
roughly imbued with a spirit of progress, and will
probably introduce some heeded reforms in one or
two departments of the college, which have re
mained almost unimproved since; the establishment
of the institution. Last Saturday evening the
Howard Musical .Association gave a charming con
cert at: Ohiekering’a rooms, in aid of circulating
among the soldiers a little book of “ Songs for Free
men.” Through the week the Boston Theatre had
French comedies with a single night of opera.. The
house was barely half filled any evening, though,
as would be natural, the audience was of the highest
class, in quality if not in quantity. Mrs. Barrow
has been adding to her laurels in- the “ Romance of
a Poor Young Man,” at the Museum. Allston Ilall
has been changed into a cosy little theatre, under
the management of Mrs. Jane English, and the per
formances, consist of an opening operetta in French,
succeeded by songs,-dances, and pantomimes. The
house is always well filled, and the novel style of
entertainment promises to be a decided success.

■Washington, April I.—The following is a copy-
Of the report of Colonel E. P.Conner, of the 3d Cali

Bear river, Washington Territory, together with a
letter from General Halleck to Brigadier General

acknowledging the receipt of Colonel Conner's re-,
port at the of the army:
Hjsadquartkk.s DrsxiiicT of Utah, -
Camp Douglas, W. T., Feb. a, 1853.
COLONEL :I have the honor to report that frominfor
matioxi received from various sources of the encamp
ment of a large body of Indians on Bear river,' W. T.,
140 miles north of tins point, who hai murdered several
miners during the winter, passing to and from the set
tlements in this valley to theißeaver Head mines,, east of
the ltocky Mountains, and beingsatislied that they were
a part of tho same band who had been murdering emi
grantson theoverland maU route for* the-pa3t fifteen
years, and the principaiactors and leaders in .the horrid
massacres of. tho .past summer, I determined, although,
the season was unfavorable to an expedition, in conse
quence .of the cold weather and deep snow', to. chastise
them, if possible. Feeling that , secrecy-was the surest
way to success, t determined to deceive the Indians by
sendiuga small force in advance, judging, and rightly,
that they would not fear a small number. J
On the 22d ole. I ordered Co. K, 3d Infantry, C. V.,
Captain Hoyt, two howitzers under command of Lieut.
Honeyman, and twelve men of the 2d Cavalry, C. V.,
with a train of fifteen wagons, carrying twelve days’
supplies, to proceed in that direction. On the 24th ult. I
proceeded with detachments of four companies, A, H,
K, and M, 2d Cavalry, C. V., numbering 220 men,
accompanied by Major McGarry, 2d Bavalry, C. V. ;
Surgeon Keed, 3d Iniahtry, C‘Y.; Captains McLeonand
Price, and Lieutenants Chase, Clark,' Quinn, and Con
rod, 2d C. V.; Major. Gallagher. 3d Infantry, C. V-,
and Captain Berry, 2d Cavalry, who were present ,at
this post attending general court mar*tial, as volunteers. '
I-marched the 1 first night to Brigliain City, sixty-eight
miles distant. The second night's march frem Camp
Douglas 1 overtook the infantry and artillery at the
townofMerdon, and ordered them to inarch again that
night. ' I'resumed my march with the cavalry aud
overtook the' infantry at Franklin, ■W. T. ,; about
twelve miles from the Indian encampment. I ordered. |
Captain Hoyt, with the infantry, howitzers, and, train, ,
to move until after 3 o’clock A. M. I moved the cavalry
in about one hour afterwards, passing the infantry, !
artillery, and wagons about .four miles from the Indian ;
encampment. As daylight was approaching, t was ap
prehensive that the Indians would discover the strength
of my’ force, and mt-ke their escape. •: I therefore made a
rapid march with the cavalry, aud readied the bank of !
of the river shortly .’after daylight, in full view of the i
ludian encampment, and. about one mile distant. I i
immediately ordered Major McGarry to advance with ,
the cavalry,' and surround, before attacking them,
while I remained a few minutes in the rearto give.
orders to the infantry and artillery. On my arrivaL
on the field I found, that Major McGarry had dis
mounted the cavalry, and was engaged with the Indians, :
who had rallied out of their hiding places on foot and 1
horseback, and with fieudisli malignity, waved the
scalps of white women, and challenged! the troops to
battle, at the same time attacking them. . Finding it- im
possible to surround tliem'in consequence of the nature
of the ground, he accepted their challenge. The position
of the Indians was one of strong natural defences, and
almost inaccessible to the troops, being in a deep ra-.
vine, from six to twelve feet deep, and from thirty to
forty feet wide with very’ abrupt banks, and running:
across level table land along which they could deliver
their fire without-being themselves exposed... Under the
embankments-they had constructed, artificial covers of
willows'thickly woven together, from behind which
i they could firo without being observed.
1 Alter being engaged about twenty minutes, I found it
was impossible to dislodge them without great Loss of
life. 1 accordingly ordered Major McGarry with twenty
men to turn their left flank, which wa3 in the ravine
where it entered the mountains. Shortly afterwards
Capt. Boyt reached the lord three-fourths of a mile dis
tant, but found it impossible to cross footmen, some of
whom tried it, however, rushing into tho river, bufcfind--
ingit deep and rapid, retired. I immediately oruereda
detachment of cavalry- with lead hordes to cross the in
fantry, which was done accordingly, and, upon their ar
rival upon the field, I ordered them to the support of
Major McGarry’s flankingparty, who shortly afterwards
succeeded in turning.thB enemy’s flank. Up to this time,
in consequence of being exposed on a level and open
plain, while the Indians were under cover, they had
every aavantageofus, fighting with the ferocity of de
mons. -My men fell fast and thick around me; but after .
ilankingtkemwehad the advantage, and made good use
of it. . 1 ordered the fignking party to advance down the
ravine on either side, which gave us the. advantage of .
an enfilading lire, and caused some of the Indians to give
way and run towards the north of the ravine. .At this
point I had a company stationed, who shot them as they .
runout, lalso ordered a detachment of cavalry across
'the ravine to cut off the retreat of any fugitives who
might escape the company at the mouth of the ravine.
But few lived to escape, however, but continued fight
ing with unyielding obstinacy, frequently engaging
hand to hand with the troops until killed in-thair -
hiding places. The most of those who did escape from
the ravine were afterwards shot in attempting to swim
the river, or killed while desperately fighting under
cover of the dense willow thicket which lined,the river
To give you an idea of the desperate character of the
fight, you are respectfully referred to the list of the kill
ed and wounded, transmitted herewith. -. Thefight com
menced about six o’clock in the morning, and continued
until ten. At the commencement of the battle, the hands
of some of the men wore so benumbed with cold, that it
was with difficulty that they could load their pieces.
Their suffering during the march was awful beyond de
scription, bnt they steadily continued on without regard
to hunger,' cold, or thirst—not a murmur escaping them
to indicate their sensibilities to pain or fatigue. Their,
uncomplaining endurance during their four nights’
march from Camp Douglas to the battle-field, is worthy
of the highest praise. The weather was intensely cold,
and not less than sevents’-five had their feet frozen, and
some of them, I fear, will be crippled for life.
The Chief Pocoletto and Sanritch, with their bands of
murderers, are still at large. I hope to be able to kill or
capture them before long. .
■ If I succeed, the overland route west of the Rocky
Mountains will be rid of the Bedouins, who have ha
rassed and. murdered emigrants.on that route for a series
of years. _
In consequence of the numoer of men left on the route
with frozen feet, and those with the train and howitzers,
and guarding the cavalry horses, I did not have to ex
-1 deed two hundred men engaged. The enemy had about
three hundred warriors, mostly well armed with, rifles,
and having plenty of ammunition,’which, rumor says,
thevrecema from the inhabitants of this Territory in
exchange'for property of massacred emigrants. The po
, sition of thelmdians was.ouft.of gie&t natural strength,
1 -jiua-liadrluotrsiicceeded in flanklngttem, the -mortality
i in my command would have been lerrible.: - In conse
quence of the deep snow, the howitzers did'not reach ths
field in time to be used in the action.
I have the honor to remain, very respectfully, you?

Tfee Randall Steamships#
To the Editor of Tfie Press: ■■ ■ ■ ■. ■ - '.
Sib s'As a taxpayer and prospective stockholder in
the above named have read with plea
sure pamphlets published in their behalf by Messrs.
Ranaall r Oram, & Baldwin, which, if they do not con
vince skeptical, must cause them to think
deeply, and to regret that the progress of steam na
vigation has been so long retarded by the ignorance
of Steerß, Brunei, and Scott Bussell, who have been
trusted by the commercial world only to mislead
them. The array of facts, presented % the first
named gentlemen has never, to my knowledge, been
denied over a responsible signature. An engineer
by profession, I have endeavored to inform myself
as to the speed of both English and American ves
sels, and yet X am now, for the first tinse, made •
aware* through. Mr. Baldwin’s pamphlet, ■feat the
Western-Metropolis makes an average speed of 20-
miles per hour, the City dfßuffalo22 miles per hour,
and the Daniel Drew 25 miles. 'lf these things are.
so,,.why should we not have the same speed on the :
ocean? All'three of thesegentlemensayitcan.be
done, and that Captain Randall can and will 'do it;
that we shall go to England inside of a week; have
state rooms with double beds , and suffer little, if any,
with sea sickness, and get 20 per cent, on our money
invested. To convince others who have been as
skeptical as myself, I have collected from the three
pamphlets the following data as to the first vessel'to
be built, viz:
Length i 500 feet.
Breadth....... CO “
Depth to main deck........ 23 “
Draught of water maximum............... 14 «
Tonnage, custom-house measurement... ..8,790 tons.:
Average speed 18 knots
Horse p0wer.......................2,000 *
Coal for round trip to Europe and back... 1,200 tons.
Freight to be carried. .. .... .3,000 ' «
Passengers.. 000 .
With the above data naturally took up
.the points bearing on the capacity to carry the in
tended load, and then the ability to carry it at the
speed proposed; and, first; as to the capacity to carry
the load, we have— /
Freight. 3,000 tons.
C0a1............. 1,200 «.
Machinery, (2,000 horse p0wer)........... .1,000 t£
3,c00 passengers and baggage, 300 lbs. each. 400 , u
Provisions, ice, and Schuylkill water for 1
the round trip........................... 200 “
Total load to be carried.... ... ..5,800 '**
To which must be added, the weight of the vessel.
This I get from an intelligent ship-builder, who
has examined into the plans. He puts it'at. 4,000
tons, which- is,T think, too v little,'~but is certainly
within the mark. The two being added together,
make 9,800 tons, which is the sum of the weight of
the vessel and her cargo. Now, a rectangular box,
SGO feet long by 60 feet wide, and 14 feet deep, will
displace 600x60x14—420,000 cubic feet. Of this
amount, Captain Randall, in- Mb model, will' avail
himself of about 65 per cent, the Daniel. Drew being
• 62 per cent, and the United States steamer Niagara
60 per. cent. 55 per cent, of 420,000 cubic feet is
231,000, and as a cubic foot of sea water weighs 6A>£
its, and 35 feet are equal to 1 ton, it. follows that
231,000 cubic feet of displacement .will support 6,600
and no OTweVfrom which it will-be seen that
the load to be carried exceeds the ability to carry it
3.200 tons. I point out tbia Wile error,,not to find
fault, but to draw Mr. Baldwin’s attention to'it,'
that it may be correction the plan proposed at
page n of his pamphlet. "
My next point of examination was the speed pro
posed, 18 knots, compared with the fuel, to be con
sumed, SO tons in 24 hours. In our present blind,
old-fogy practice, it does not require a very large
steamer, at a moderate speed, to burn 80 tone of
coal in that time; but Captain Randall and his
friends have proved to their, satisfaction.that if you
have a fiat bottom to your model, and do not draw
over 14 feet of water, you may' enlarge your vessel,'
increase your speed, and reduce the power and fuel
required. The greatness of these facts >here stated
can hardly be appreciated, and the effect on the com
merce of the world cannot be estimated. As a
PhiladelphiaD, I trust that one of the;conditions of
our furnishing the money for this enterprise is. that
Captain Randall sliailmake over to- us the exclusive
. privilege , of building vessels on liis plan during
• the duration of his patents, elße the .advantage we
gain in one year will be taken from us the next by
New York or Boston. Let this be attended to,in
time. But to returnto the examination of the speed
and fuel question. The steamer Keystone State,:
about .1,400 tons, formerly belonging to this city,
is of a Jlat-Votlorti . model, and draws, about 13 feet
of water; her lines are easy, and yet she
burns 30 tons of coal in 24 hours, and exerts 700
horsev power to UK ' knots per hour at
sea; but as she is comparatively a slow vessel, let us
refertoEpme’thihg fast. The new Holyhead mail
packets, named Leinster, Ulster, Munster, and Con
naught, from England to Ireland, have been built
for speed. Their draught of water is l 2 feet 8% inch
es ; length, 360 feet; breadth of beam, 35 feet; depth
of hold, ,21 feet; without cabins above deck, so as to
givethe least possible resistance" to the "wind; and
yet these vessels, with a length equal’to ten times
their breadth, make but 17 8-10;: knots (20}£ miles)
per houiy to do which-they exert 4200-horse power,
and consume seven tons of coal per hour—equal to
108 tons in twenty-four hours. So much have these
vessels been sacrificed to speed that they carry but
90 tons of coal, and the measurement of that part of
the vessel not occupied by machinery is but 385 tons. *
In what ; gross ignorance‘"these Englishmen live,
burning 168 tons of coal to drive a 2,000-ton vessel
17 8-10 knots per hoiir, when by Oapt. Randall’B pa
tents, aB expounded-by Messrs. Cram & Baldwin,
they can have an~Booo ton steamer go equallyfast on
80 tons of coal per twenty-four hours ! Let our city
eecure occlusive control of Randall’s patents, at the
earliest moment, aDd regardless of cost.
I am reliably informed that the machinery has
been taken out of the Western Metropolis, one of
thefast steamers. alluded to by. Mr.. Baldwin, and is
now being erected in New York in a new vessel
built on an old-fogy model
I am, sir, yours very truly, B,

The Appeal has nothing else in it of special interest
than that which follows;
Pout Hudson-, March 15, 5 o'clock A. M.—The
enemy commenced, the bombardment at 2 P M
which was continued until SP. Mi They fired slowly,
and. our batteries did not reply. At 12last night a
most desperate engagement took place. The enemy
endeavored to pass our batteries under cover of
darkness. The. fire was most terrific-, and lasted fully
two hours. One gunboat succeeded in passing in a
damaged comUtibn. The aloop-of-war Mississippi
was set on fire and burned to the water’s ed»e in
front of our batteries. One large resßel was com
pletely riddled,’and a third badly cripled, and, with
the rest, driven back. At 2 o’clock the enemy with
drew. Our victor}-is complete and glorious. As far
as is known, no casualties on our part. The boat
that passed is doubtless so disabled as to render her
achievement fruitless.
Thirty-six men and one midshipman, of the de
stroyed lngate Mississippi,; were brought in by our
cavalry this morning. Several of them were severe
ly wounded.
Port Hudson, March 15.
Lieutenant General Pemberton:
The gunboat fight laßted heavily from eleven
o’clock to two o’clock last night. All the fleet
came up within range. The Hartford and Mo
nongahela passed crippled, the Mississippi was
burned, and the Richmond disabled and sent back.
'Our loss i'B small. The enemy’s forces by land ad
vanced, but all is quiet this morning.
/We have slight, skirmishing in front, but there is
no visible sign of a forward movement oii the part
oftheenemy: - FRANK GARDNER,
Major General.
Mobilr, March 16. —A special to the Tribune from,
Tullahoxaa says: “Breckinridge’s division was re
viewed to-day by General Hardee. The military
display was fine, reflecting much credit on our dis
tinguished leaders. Weather bright and genial.”.
Charleston, March 16.—The steamer Gertrude,
from Greenock, Scotland, via Nassau, freighted
with valuable merchandise, arrived at a Confederate
port this morning. -This is her first trip to a Con
federate port.
THE POLICE.
Auotlicr Important Arrest—Seizure of Con
traband Goods—Ttie Contrabandist is Sent
to Fort Dela>vare»
For some-time past. Chief Franklin, and Detectives
Bartholomew* Lamon, and Brown had been quinity
■watching the movements of an individual named Win.
Crawford, hailing from Baltimore," aid., who was in
this city purchasing goods. He acted with extreme
tion, and proved that lie was very adroit indeed. He
was “piped” from store to store, and on one occasion,
was actually in conversation with one of the detectives,
but he did not know it. He used no laegnage having a
tendency to reveal liis business. The officer baited tor
him very skilfully, but he wouldnot bite. The officers
watched him closely, and at a late hour onTaesday
night Chief Franklin entered a house kept by a colored
woman, at Tenth and Lombard streets. The/mief had
previously obtained a warrant front the May dr to arrest
the individual in case he could be found'. . OB'entering
the house, he inquired very confidentially tor Mr.
Crawford.
“Yes, sah, said the colored woman,
seat, and I fotch him tu you..
The Chief took a seat, and presently Mr. Crawford was
introduced. He was at once informed of the nature of the
visit, as further secrecy was ho longer of any use. Be
sides this, it-would have imprudent, as all had beeu
done that was necessary. The goods at the express
office were closely tinder seizure; Crawtbrd summoned
ail liis shrewdness, but still lie quailed, turned pale,
and finally said that he was in the business of trad
ing with the South. That he did so with the con
sent of the United States Government, and that he
was permitted to do so, because, by this means, he
was a good spy for the National Government. He ex
hibited passes by order of General Schenk, bat had
no rebel passes. He said it was not necessary to have
passes from the rebels. They were only too glad to get
goods such as he always took with him. In his last trip
-from Richmond he brought with him fifteen hundred
pounds of . 1 • ’
TOBACCO,
which lie said he had-sold, but to whom he did not
know. With the proceeds of the sale of tobacco he pur
chased other goods to be taken, down South. He told a
variety of stories, one or two of which; unfortunately
for him, were discovered, in the sequel to be false. On
his personwas found a belt, nine bonds North. Carolina
State, and twelve hundred dollars Confederate notes,
and Virginia and North Carolina State-treasury notes.
His well-filled carpet bag was also recovered, and also
the bill of purchase. •
. FOUR LARGE BOXES OF GOODS
of various descriptions, enough to set up quite a variety
store—needles, gaiters, silk goods,* buttons, pins, per
cussion caps, &c. These boxes were seized at Adams &
Co. s Express office yesterday afternoon, and taken to
ihe Central Station. About the time these boxes wera
taken there Mr. Crawford was about to embark on board
a steamtug bound for Fort Delaware. The boxes wera
marked ‘’Glass—this side up, with care. To William
Crawford, Baltimore, Md. ”
' ' . • FURTHER INTERESTING-DEVELOPMENTS.
Among the papers found was an accbunfc-btfok with the
Central Bank of Alabama. There were a dozen of opened
letters which. Crawford said were for the negroes. He
always carried them open so" as to show mem to me
military authorities. In the belt subsequently found
around liis body were quite a number of letters super
scribed to different parties in Virginia and South Caro
lina. One of these letters is peculiarly rich, coming, as
Chief Franklin informs us, from a minister of a church,
on Broad street. The writers of these letters are requested,
to call upon Chief Franklin;'
Another paper is the private account of Robert Pol
lock & Co., 311. Market street, in which we discover au
item where this firm is credited to the amount of $lO.Bl
for commission on sale of tobacco for Wm. Crawford.
This is the “weed* 5 that the contrabandist smuggled
front Richmond, which he said was sold for him bv a
man whom he did not know. A' verylaxge amount of
goods were purchased from this firm, ior allot which
the Chief ofJEaliea_ha§ the-bill as rendered, receipts,
&c. \dated March 31, lS6§r ' - ~, „
There is another bill ot items from Thomas Mellor Sc
Co No. 43 North Third street. .All the items in this bill
are for a variety of articles in the fancy dry goods lino
except one, which sets forth; *
' ONE THOUSAND PERCUSSION CATS.
This explosive article is not usually sold by dry goods
dealers, and besides this, it hs slated the firm are
Quakers.- This fact. Is: made the more singular and.
alarming when the aversion of this class of citizens tor
villainous powder is taken" into consideration. Another
paper is’a bill for ribbons purchased from John btone <su
Son? for the sum of 1240.93. Another from E. Philips for

CUines for carding cotton was also recovered. The boxes
Were followed from the store of Messrs.-Pollock 3c Co.
to the Gif&bess office. It St the latter place -where.
marked “ Glassware; With v&r©- ” The value
of the goods is estimated at $l,OOO. This is rani 61 ’ above
the mark, because Mr. Crawford said that an aiTH.tij!s£-
ment was made withthe above-named.firms, in making’
out tlieir bills, to add twenty-fiye per cent, on the
amount.
Mr. Crawford said it would never do to publish his
name in connection with this affair, as they would hang
him if they ever got him down South. He said he owned
a pretly big farm ih South Carolina at the time there
.bellion broke out. He was then worth $70,000, but be
cause of his Union proclivities he had to leave that State.
He made these statements, in all probability, because
bethought the Chief of Poliee.would really think he
was a spy for the United States .Government. He did
not dream, at. the time, that the distinguished official
Lada despatch from headquarters at Washington to ar
rest him and take him to Fort Delaware.

A Hearing,
Emma'J. .Holland was arraigned yesterday afternoon,
at the Central Station, on the charge .of committing au
assault and battery on John Macklin. Officer Moore
testified that, although. Macklin was badly cut about the
head; yet he did not seem to be in any immediate danger
from the effects- of the wounds: received. The accused
was held to bail in'the sum of $1; 000, to await a farther
hearing to take place at 2 o’clock to-morrow afternoon..
The defendant was known some years since as the sailor
boy, from the fact that she had made several voyages
across the sea in the capacity of a jack tar.
[Before Mr. Alderman Haines. 3
Disreputable Conduct,
Thomas Esher "and John Carpenter are the names given,
by a couple of dissolute <young.men who were arrested
by Officers Jones and Edgar,-in the neighborhood of
Poplar and Twelfth streets, , at'a late hour on Tuesday
night. The defendants on being arraigned were charged
with riot and disorderly conduct. Theevidenceset forth
that the accused belonged to a gang calledthe “Prairie
Hens” Ohe name of which has been written in innocent
blood, and spoken in tongues of incendiary fire.) The
prisoners indulged in riotous conduct and made an indis
criminate attack upon citizens and convulsed the neigh
borhood of Twelfth and Poplar streets with terror. The
officers were resisted, 1 but finally, after considerable
difficulty,; they succeeded in taking the party to the
station house. After a hearing yesterday morning, the
accused were required to enter bail in the sum of $l,OOO
toanswer.,
" [Before Mr. Alderman Riley. 3
Riotous. Conduct at a Rolling Mill,
•. John McGrath was arraigned yesterday by .Officer Ha
milton on the charge of rioton3 conduct atMr.-Rowland’s
iron rollingmill, in the Sixteenth ward. It seemsfrom
the evidence that on Tuesday employees
struck for an advance of wages, to which the employers
yielded, but at the same time.‘■aid not think it necessary
to re-employ alTthe hands. Five, or six were rejected.
McGrath was one of the letter. Some time after the men
had resumed work, he returnedto the mill. He was in
a state of intoxication. It was not long before he made
hixiiself very obnoxious by annoying the men, and thus
interrupting the business of the firm. McGrath Is a pow
erful man. fie suddenly picked up a smaller person
than himself, and without much ~eitort threw him into
an ash pan, then seizing a bar of iron, he threatened to
clear the establishment. Finally Omcer Hauultoa ar
rived, and after considerable difficulty, the obstreperous
individual was removed to the station house. He was
committed in default of $5OO bail to answer at court.
, Concealed Deadly Weapons.
William Cook, Henry Boyle, and Joseph Garvin, were
arrested between twelve and jone o’clock yesterday
morning, by Officers Momt and Russell, at Cadwalader
and Master streets, for disorderly conduct. While on
the way to the police station they threw a way two black
jacks and an oyster knife. These weapons were picked
up by the officers, and'produced at th“e hearing as evi
dence against the defendant's. The accnsed were bound
over to answer the charge of carrying concealed deadly
weapons.
