LIEUT. COL. BAILEY'S PEOPOSITION•—.3,O9O.3LEN AT
" • •
There seems to have been an especial ProvidenCe
looking out for us in providing - ' a man equal .to the
emergency. -Lieutenant - Colonel Bailey,. acting,
engineerof the 19th Army Corps, proposed a-plan of
building a series of-tams across the rocks at the
falls, and raising the water high enough to let the
vessels pass over. This proposition looked like
madness. and the best engineers ridiculed it; but
Colonel 'Bailey was so sanguine of success that I
requested General Banks to have it done, and he
entered heartily in the work. Provisions were short,
and forage was almost' out, and the dam was pro
mised to he fielshed in tent ays 4r the army would
have to leave us. I was doubtful-about the time,
but had no doubt about the ultimate success, if time
would only permit. General Banks. placed at the
disposal of Colonel Bailey-all the force he required,
consisting of some three thousand men and two or
three hundred wagons. All the neighboring steam
mills were torn down for material—two or three re
giments of Maine men were set at work felling
trees, and' on the second day after my arrival in
Alexandria from Grand Ecore the work had fairly
begun. Trees were falling with great rapidity,
teams were moving in all directions, bringing in
brick and stone; quarries were opened; flat-boats
were built to bring stone down from above, and
every man seemed to be 'Working with a vigor I
have seldom seen equalled, while perhaps not ono
in fifty believed in the success of the undertaking.
These falls are about - a mile in length, filled with.
rugged rocha, over which, at the present stage of
water, it seemed to be impossible to make a channel.
A WONDERFUL WORK-TiT6 TREE DAM
The work:was commenced by running out from
the left bank of the river a tree dam, made of the
bodies of very large trees, brush, .brick, and stone,
cross-tied with heavy timber, and strengthened in
ovcry way which ingenuity could devise. This was
run out about 300 feet into the river; four large coal
bargcs were then filled with brick and sunk at the
end of it.- From the right hank of the river, cribs
filled with stone were built out to meet the barges,
all of which was 'successfully accomplished, notwith
standing there was a current running of nine miles
an hour, which threatened to sweep everything be
fore it. It will take too much time to enter into the
details of this truly wonderful work; saffice s it to say
that the dam had nearly reached completion in eight
days' working time. and the water had risen suffi
ciently on the upper falls to allow the Fort Hind
man, Osage, and Neosho to get down and be ready
to pass the dam. In another day it would have been
high enough to enable all the other vessels to pass
the upper~hlls. Unfortunately, °tithe morning of
the 9th inst., the, pressure of water became so great
that it swept away two of the stone barges Which
swung in below the dam on one side. Seeing this
unfortunate accident, I jumped on it horse and rode
up to where the upper vessels were anchored, and
ordered the Lexington to pass the upper falls if pos
sible, and immediately attempt to go through the
dam. I thought I might be able to save the four
vessels below, not knowing whether the persons em
ployed on the work would ever have the heart to re
new the enterprise.

A FART OF THE FLEET GET OVER THE. FALLS
The Lexington succeeded in getting over the-up
per falls just in tune, the water rapidly falling as
e.ue was passing over. She then steered directly for
the opening. in the dam, through which the water
was rushing so furiously that it seemed as if nothing
but destruction awaited her. Thousands of beating
, Thearts looked on, anxious for the result. The
"jlence was so great as the Lexington - approached the
darathat a -pin might almost - have been - heard to
fall.. She entered the gap-with a full head of steam
on, pitched down the• roaring torrent, made two or,
three spasmodic rolls, hung for a moment on the
rocks below, was then swept into deep water by the.
current, arid rounded to safely into tho bank.
. ..
Thirty thousand voices rose in one deafening cheer,
and universal joy seemed to pervade the face of
every man present ) The Neosho followed nest—all
her hatches battened down, and every precantion
taken against accident. She did not fare as well as
the Lexington, her pilot having become frightened
as he approached the abyss; and stopped:her engine,
When . I . particularly ordered a full head of steam to
be carried. The result was :that for a moinent her.
hull disappeared from sight, under the water.
-Every one thought she was. lost. She rose, -how:
ever, swept along over the rooks with the current,
- and ibrtunittely escaped with only..one hole in her
bottom, which was stopped in the courseof an hour.
. The Hindman and Osage both came through beau
tifully without touching a thing, and ' , thought if I
was only fortunate enough to get my large vessels
es well over the falls my fleet once more wouldAlo
good service on the Mississippi.

The accident to the dam, instead of disheartening
Colonel Bailey, only induced him to renew-his on

tugs. By three o'clock that afternoon the vessels
were all coaled, ammunition replaced, and all
steamed down the river with the convoy of trans
ports in company. A good deal of difficulty was
anticipated in getting over the bars in lower Red"-
river. Depth of water reported only five feet, gun
boats were drawing six. Providentially, we had a
rise from .the back-water of the Mississippi—that
river being very high at that time—the back-water
extending to Alexandria, 150 miles distant, en
abling us to pass all the bars and obstructions with
safety. Words are inadequate to express the ad
miration I feel for the ability of Lieutenant Colonel
Bailey. This is without doubt the best engineering
feat ever performed. Under the best circumstances
a private company would not have - completed this
workunder one year, and to an ordinary mind the
whole thing would have appeared an entire imposSi
bility. Leaving Out his ability as an- , engineer—the
credit he has conferred upon the -country—he has .
saved the Union a valuable. fleet worth nearly 'We
millions of dollars ; more, he has deprived the
enemy of a - triumph which would have emboldened`
them to carry on this war a year or two longer, for
the intended departure of the army was a fixed
fact, and there was.nothing left for me to do in case
that event occurred but to destrey every part of the
vessels, so that the rebels could make nothing. of .
them. The highest' honors the Government can
bestow on Colonel Bailey can never repay him for
the service helms rendered the'dountry. '
To General Banks, personallyil am much indebt:
ed for the happy manner in Which he has forwarded
this enterprise, giving it his whole attention night
and day ; _scarcely sleeping while the work was
going on; attending personally
,to see that all the
requirements of Col. Bailey were Complied with on
the instant.
'I do not believe there ever was a case whore such ,
difficulties mere overcome in such a short space of !
time, and without any preparation.
- Plieg leave to mention the names of some of the
persons engaged on this work, as I think that credit'
should be given to every man employed on it.. I am
unable to give the names of all, hut sincerely trust
that General Banks will do full justice to every
.officer engaged in this undertaking when he makes
his report. I only regret that time did not enable
me to get the names of all concerned.
• The following are the names of the most promi
nent persons :
Lieutenant Colonel Bailey, acting military engi
neer, Kith Army Corps., in charge of the work; Lieu
tenant Colonel Peatcall, assistant ; Colonel-Dwight,
acting assistant inspector general ; Lieutenant.
Colonel W. B. Kinney, 16th IN‘rew York Volunteers;
Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard, - 10th Mfdne Volun

ployed: . . _ 1

Love ; 161st New York, Captain Prentiss ;1334 New
York, Colonel Currie. . e
The engineer regiments 'arid officers of the 13th
Army Corps were also employed.
Previous to passing the vessels over the falls, I
bad nearly all the guns,- ammunition, provisions, ,
thain-cables, anchors, and everything that Wald
affect their draught, taken out of them. •
The commanders were indefatigable .in their et-'
ertionsto accomplish the object before them, and a.
happier set 'of men were never seen, than when'
their vessels were once mere in lighting trim.
If this expedition has not been so successful as the
country hoped for, it has exhibited the indomitable
spirit of Eastern and Western men to overcome ob
stacles deemed by most people insurmountable. It
has presented a new feature in the:war, nothing like
- which has.over been 'accomplished before.
LOSSI OF THE GUNBOATS SIGNAL AND COVINOTON,
I regret to inform you, amongst the misfortunes
of this expedition, of the loss of 'two small light
draught gunboats, the Signal and Covington. I
sent them dolvn from Alexandria to convoy a quar
termaster's boat (the iWarner.), loaded with cot
ton, and some 400 troops on board, not knowing that
the enemy had any artillery on the' river below its,
or anything more than the wandering gangs of gue
rillas, armed with muskets, which these vessels were
competent to drive - etl.
It appears, however, that the rebels wore enabled
to pass our advance force at night, with 6,000 men
and, some twenty-five pieces of artillery.. With
these they established a series of batteries at a
place called Dunn's bayou, thirty - miles below
Alexandria, a very commanding position. These
batteries were so masked that they could not be
seeihin passing, oven by the closest observation.

INCIDENT OF THE ACTION AT WILSOVE LANDING--
DISTITNGUISHEi) CONDUCT OF I PENNSYLVANIA
AS the Thomas Powell, commanded by Captain
Lyon, was coming up from Fortronroe on the
regular mail trip, the ears of gas. engers were
greeted by heavy thing as tliey na ' d Wilson
slo
Wharf. 'rho tiring, as was soon ' ped, came
ip
ri s
from the navy gunboat Devon, -yr occupied
in shelling' the woods . on both : eat of the river;
firing, also, grape and canister ,along the banks, to
dislodge sharpshooters. The Tom Porfoll was ordered
into the wharf, and all the soldiers do board com
manded to land. It was there - ascertained that
Fitz Hugh Lee had demanded thennrrender of the
place. One of the Christian Comnitodba there stated
that two contrabands had reached ati‘Wild's lines,
and stated that a. force of white ausTealpred troops had
landed at White House. The 0.0. Vittatleman also
-said-that Gen. Wild had sent the two:contrabands
back to communicate with what he supposed to be
Burnside's forces, asking them to cut tigLoe. No
body but a C. C. man could have attgbuted. to Gen.
Wild such a wild proceeding. The forcaprossing at.
White Hollse was undoubtedlyGon. Sneridan's
cavalry, and if word reached him, Whethorby contra,
bands or otherwise, there is little doubt that''' Phil
Sheridan" would accommodate -Lee. witlea. -figkt.
The Powell took on board a number of womark•tfrtir
children of the colored persuasion and ..,caree.on up
the river. Alas ! they met a propellerrthe May
flower, who 'hailed them ands old they had been
fired into from thebank, and their captain wounded.
This was enough to bring out all the "scare" in the
captain of the Tom Powell, aras„he put his boat
about and ran hack some two or tree miles below
-Wilson'swharf.- There is-an army Mier:that the
senior officer on board a Crovemmentboat Shall take
charge of tha.tboat. Maj. Ackerly, of thellth Penn
sylvania Cavalry fortunately bethought himself of
this order, and direeted the captain to .put about.
This was refused, and then the captaMft_ as put in
arrest.' The chief engineer refusiatO dertduty.
He was arrested. The second engineer was brought
to terms by Lieut. Mahan, also of the Ilth Penn
sylvania Cavalry, who, with cocked revolver at his
head, forced him to do his duty. An indlyidual, in
citizen clothes, made himself conspicuous - in ad
rising the engineers not to run. Upon being asked
who he was, be said, "Hobert Lincoln, sow of. the
President." He was also arrested, and- afterward
gave his name as Hancock "(John, I suppose).
Again Wilson's wharf was Yeaelied, the:gunboat
Dawn hailed, and the - captain- Iffid • enginberis
treachery stated. "Put them in irons," Came. back
from the gunboat, coupled with the query, "DO you
want assistance I" The facts were. stated: • The
Powell was asked to send the gunboat Pequot down,
and started on. The Pequot was sent down. -The
George Washington, laden with troops to reinforce
General Wild, was fired into. The Powell, under
full head of steam, came dashing on without further
adventure.

Sixteen stalwart negroes just in from Butler's

THE UNION ADVANCE. ON RICHMOND.
[From 4Le Eiohinond Enquirer, Alny 20.
Grant still pressesg•still assaults, still struggles
for the prize. ho far he has, at least, done no worse
than his predecessors ;Indeed, he has done more
than any of them. Lincoln's remark that " any
other commander the Army of the Potomac has had
would have recrossed the - Rapidan, after the first
day's reception," was trne, and the future will
hhow whether more real generalship would not
ave been exhibited by General" Grant had he fol
lowed the example of McClellan, Burnside, Hooker,
andllloado. But Grant has advanced ;he is several
miles nearer Richmond than when he delivered his
first battle on the . Rapidan. General Lee claims
merely to have repelled the enemy in every assault;
but with very great slaughter to the enemy. Grant
fights and is repulsed • his direct advance effectually
checked, he moves oft on a line not 'disputed, and.
because he is a few,milet nearer Richmond 'claims
the victory,
The advance of Grant is the main but not the
only attack upon Richmond. Butler, with a vast
armada, ascends
Hundred, ' James river, and, landing at Ber
muda undred, cuts the railroad and proceeds to
„Invest the city on the south side. General .13eaure
gard is called up from 'Charleston, and, having col
lected the army destined for the immediate defence
of the city, en Monday last broke up the investment,
drove off the investing army; amlnow holds them
cowering within their own fortifications, and under
the.protectlon of their gunboats. The various raids
that, were auxiliary to the main attack have all
been expended, and the damages done have been,
repaired.

- *oohs 'shout the War.
The history of the Administration of President
Lincoln, by Henry .T.Haymend, of the New York
Times, received from J. B. Lippincott Co:, is a
book connected With the fearful contest in which the
country is engaged; for the maintenance of our
Unity as a.:Republie. It opens with a fair, but ra
ther too brief sketch of Itlr. Lincoln's personal his
torY, which falbllowed by twelVe chapters, in which.
his Presidential course is plainly and faithfully re
lated, containing the speeches, messages ; proclama
thins, and letters in which, from time to thne, he
has declared the motives and developed the princi
ples of his gubernatorial action. The book is well
indexed, and isacceptabfe as a careful and trust
worthy history of the time. Lippincott 4. Co., Phila
delphia. -
John E. Potter, of this city, has published a,
volume, handsomely illustrated with colored en
gravings, called ~ Thrilling_ Stories .of the Great
Rebellion.ll The compiler has made a very reada
ble volume by judiciously selecting some of the
I
most striking incidents of the war. Some of these
are deeply tragic, some are pathetic ; many are
patriotic,, and several abound in racy humor. The
lights and shades of the war are freely distributed
here. .
"The Future,; A Political Essay," by Mont
gomery H. Throop, received from J. B. Lippincott
Si. Co., is a curious balancing of opinions, pro and
con, a.bbut the feeling of the North and South. The
authoi claims that the antipathy of the South to
the North has become mitiaated, of late, (he judges
froin the altered tone of , the newspapers !) sneers at
the Atlantic illonthly as a "loyal" publication, and
looks for an early reunion of all the States, but de
clines_telling by what means this is to be effected.
Mr. Throop, we fancy, would find .himself more.at
home in "the sunny SOuth " than our Northern
latitude.
Tn "Rad-Tape and Pigeon-hole Generals, 22
small volume published by Carleton, of New York,
and received from T. B. Peterson, there is a great
deal of truth, chnsiderable humor, and some coarse
ness of expression. It is not necessary, when gene
rals or subalterns descend to the vulgarity and pro
fanity of swearing, to give the ipsissima verba of
their execrations, as is done here. Camp-life is here
portrayed with spirit, and the petty tyranny of
officers aceidentally thrust into high command is
boldly exposed.
In pamphlet form (on sale by Ashmead &Evans
and T. B. Peterson), we have "The Last Campaign
of the Twenty-second Regiment N. G., S. N. Y.,
Juno and July, 1563." 7 It is a lively and 'well-written
sketch of the Emergency Campaign, under General
,13ahly Smith, which ended .so well at Gettysburg,
and the three' days , battles are described with con
siderable minuteness. The author, does justice not
only to his own corps, but to Landis' Philadelphia
Battery, the first section under Lieut. J. C. Per
kins. The Most striking part of the narrative is that
which speaks of the pursuit of Lee's army, after its
'defeat and retreat from Gettysburg.
The "History of the Sixtieth Regiment Now lork
State Volunteers," from July, 1861, to JanuarY,
ISO 4, "by -Richard Eddy, chaplain; may interest
the meinbers of that corps and their friends, but is
- needlessly Spun out with uninteresting personal
details.of no interest, except to
_the author and his
friends. Parta , of the narrative, however, are well
written and spirited, giving a lively idea of "the
big Wars that make ambitton virtue." Pages upon
Pages, filled with dry lists of names, and even
Air. Eddy's sermon at the conclusion, might have
been omitted,- to the improvement of the book.
_
TILE ATTACH. ON SENATOR LOIANDLER.- , The fol
lowing is a strictly accurate account of the disgrace
ful assault on Senator Chandler, in the public din
ing -hall of the National Hotel: Chandler, with Dr.
Clark, of Detroit, and a lady with two children,
were taking, at a side table. In course of
co nv ersation onpolitical matters he. denounced in
very strong terms Copperheads in- general, and es
pecialry those of the Western States. Voorhees, of
Indiana, who was sitting at another table behind
them, in company with Hannegan, also of Indiana,
arose from his seat, approached Chandler in an ex
citedmanner, demanding whether he referred to
him, , to .which Chandler replied, !'Who are you,
sir ;1. dont know you ;', 3 at the same time rising from
his chair. Voorhees replied'. "I am Voorhees, of
Indiana," and suiting his action to the word, struck
Chandler on the side of the face. The two then
elosed' , And the. Senator was rapidly getting the bet

Tlie'contents of the pitcher splashed over the whole
company , . Chandler was stunned.by the blow, and
~,,1
ad riot fully recovered - himself , when Hannegan
(fait him a second blow with a chair. At this junC
k; ire parties interfered, and , the belligerents • were
separated. -Chandler's head was slightly cut by the
pitcher, and his shoulder and arm were considerably
bruised by the chair, ' Though not all, e to close his
hand, he has been out to-day attending.te his - usual
duties. Voorhees is quite as large a man as Chand
ler, probably a little heavier. Persons seated at
the table are peSitive that Chandler made no men-
Alen of Voorhees' nanie, and no reference whatever
to him personally.---Tribune. .

The Paterson (N. J.) Daily Press states that surveys
have been Made for a railroad from Sloatsbarg Station,
on the Erie tt . 4ett, :thirty-five miles from Jersey City, •
the line to run west, 'for five di six miles, to reach the
old Sterling Works, with a branch of two or three mile
to extend to the Ringwood Mines, in New Jersey. The
stock has been taken, and the work of building is to
begin in a few days. The Press also announces that a
company has been chartered to build a railroad between
:Newark and Paterson. The road will be about thirteen
miles in length.
The difficulty which has been of late experienced by
persons desirous of subscribing to the ten-forty loan in
regard to procuring tho bonds has, we are informed,
been entirely obviated. The national banks, or those
which bare been authorized to act as agencies of the
Government, have received a sufficient supply to meet
the increasing demands for large and small amounts.
The public, having now become convinced that the rate
of interest on the bonds will not under any considera
tion be altered from the figure which was fixed when
the loan was first placed on the market, are responding
to the demands of the country, in a financial point of
view, withlt disposition which. is truly gratifying to all
loyal supporters of the cause of the Union. .
The condition of the banks of the three principal com
mercial cities of the Union is exhibited in the following
