CJurt. on Saturday, Judges Lowrie, Woodward
awl Strong on the bench, the case of J. Buchan
an Cross, who seeks his discharge from the Pen
itentiary on the pardon granted by the Govern
or upon forged papers, was called up. The
elan room wee crowded. Cross was brought
Rota prison, and during the argument 'he seat
ed near his counsel. lie looked very well, con
sidering his long imprisonment. Attorney Gen
eral Meredith and District Attorney Mann ap
peared for the Commonwealth, to resist the ap
plication for a discharge. The petition of Cross
avers that he received a 'NU, free and uncondi
tional pardon. The Warden's return to the writ
sets forth the facts connected with the procuring
of the pardon, and the forged letters which were
received by the Governor and Marshal Millward
were attached to the return. It is also averred
that the pardon was never delivered. The trav
erse put in on behalf of Cross avers that the par•
don was delivered, and to a great extent the case
depends upon the view the Court will take of this
branch of the subject. Witnesses were examined
to show that though a pardon had been issued it
had never been officially communicated to Cross.
The fact had, however, been entered on the pris
on books, as also that the prisoner had been sen
tenced to the Penitentiary because of the par
don haying been revoked. The matter was ar
gued at length, and held under advisement by
the Court.
Cross has since been remanded to prison, the
Court deciding that as the papers by - which the
pardon was obtained were forged, the prisoner
had no better title to this pardon than a con
elves of goods would have after the goods had
been stopped in transau on the discovery that
the sale and delivery had been procured by let
ters forged by the friends of the consignee.
WAR NEWS!
INTERESTING FROM SUFFOLK.
A Victory Near tilts Blackwater,
The Rebels, under R. AL. Pryor.
Whipped and Monied.
The Berks County Militia Engaged,
Col. Knoderer and Eight Nen Wounded.
SUFFOLK, Va., Jan. 30, 1863
A portion of Pryor's command made its ap
pearance on this side of the Blackwater yesterday.
'information of the fact promptly reached Major
Gen. Peck, and arrangements to meet the rebels
were as speedily made. Brig. Gen. Corcoran
was placed in command of details from the ser.
eral brigades stationed at this point, the pros
pects of a brush creating such an emulation
among the brigades to have a share in it that it
would have been unfair to select any special
command. The expedition started last evening
in the beautiful light of the moon, and, as usual,
the rebel signals flashed forth the movement of
our troops. As we had no direct information as
to the locality of the enemy, great circumspection
was used in the advance, and all the necessary
precautions were employed to prevent surprise.
About 4 o'clock this morning the foe was come
up with at a ruined house on the lllaokwater
road, about nine miles from this town.
The position selected by the rebels was an
excellent one, and they were found to be in con
siderable force in cavalry, infantry and artillery.
It is estimated that there was a.regiment of cav
alry, about 2.200 infantry, and three batteries of
artillery, to dispute the ground with the Union
troops. Skirmishing commenced about 5 o'clock,
and was continued quite briskly for nearly two
hours, without much damage to either side, nail
the enemy began to waver, and finally gave up
the position, retiring in good order toward
Franklin. At the latest advices from the scene
of action, CoL Spear, of the 11th Pennsylvania
Cavalry, was in pursuit of the retreating enemy.
The engagement was undoubtedly the heaviest
skirmish which has taken place in this quarter,
and the enemy has shown unusual daring in ap
proaching so near our position.
The New York Jima has the details of the
light near the Blackwater. Gen. Pryor crossed
the Blackwater on the night of the 28th, with
three regiments of rebel infantry, four detached
battalions of infantry, nine hundred cavalry, and
fourteen pieces of artillery. The next night
Gen. Corcoran, under the orders of Gen. Peak,
advanced his troops to meet them.
The rebels were fouml ten miles from Suffolk,
and a cannonading was commenced which, after
lasting two hours and a half, caused the enemy
to retreat.
Gem Corcoran advanced all hie force. Hie
infantry, with fixed bayonets, drove the rebels
nearly a mile, they leaving their killed and
wounded behind.
Gen. Corcoran continued to follow them up,
and the raffle took another position two mile 3
from the first battle field.
The telegram of yesterday indicates that the
rebels were again driven from the last named
position, and were still being pursued. Our loss
was 24 killed and 80 wounded.
Col, Knoderer, 167th Pennsylvania, is danger
ously wounded in the hip by a piece at skull.
Capt. Taylor, 113th New York, killed.
Gen. Corcoran had a narrow escape, and
Captain Blodgett, of his staff, was slightly
is-winded.
Captain Kelly, 69th New York, wounded in
arm, and amputation, it is thought, will be ne
cessary.
Among the officers wounded are Capt. Leach
113th New York, arm, slightly ; Adjutant Brit
ten, same regiment, slightly ; Lieutenant Bailey,
11th Pennsylvania Cavalry, leg, slightly; Adju
tant Atha, 6th Massachusetts; Lieuteuaute
Wood and Marshall ditto. Lieutenant Sawtelle,
6th Massachnsetta, was killed.
Rebel sources state that Colonel Page, 6th
Virginia, was killed.
Among the rebel regiments engaged were the
4.lth, 6:3d, 60th, and 29th Virginia. The rebels
received reinforcements during the fight.
FORTRESS Moenoz, Jan. 31.

Exciting News from Charleston.
DOLS AND DASIUNG RAID or
WIZ 2.33811 E 41-VEIZOATSI.
The Blockade of Charleston De
clared Raised.
This morning the gunboats Palmetto State,
Captain Rutledge, and Chieora, Captain Tucker,
accompanied by three small steamers—the Gen
eral Clinch, Etivran and Chesterfield—all under
the command of Commodore Ingraham, made an
attack on the blockaders, and succeeded in sink
ing two and crippling a third.
The engagement commenced at four o'clock.
The Palmetto State, with Commodore Ingra
ham on board, opened fire upon the federal gun
boat Mereedit a, carrying eleven guns and one hun
dred and fifty-eight men, which was soon sunk in
live fathoms of water. Her commander, Captain
Stellwagen, with a boat's crew, came on board
and surrendered. One shot pierced her boiler,
going clear through. Captain Stellwagen and
crew were paroled by Commodore Ingraham.
Captain Tucker. of the Chicora, reports sinking
another federal gunboat and the disabling of the
steamship Quaker City. The latter was set on
fire by the Chico's, and hauled down her flag to
surrender, but afterwards managed to escape,
using only one wheel. She was very seriously
damaged.
The number of the blockading fleet outside at,
the time of the attack was thirteen, with two
first class frigates, the Susquehanna and Gauen-.
daigua
The federal loss was very severe. It was a
complete success on our part, with not a man
hut L Our gunboats were not even atm&
All the blockaders . have disappeared. There
is not one to be seen within five miles with the
strongest kind of glasses. Our boats are now
returning to Charleston.
I went out last night. This vessel struck the
Mercedita, when she sent a boat on board and
surrendered. The officers and crew were parol
ed. Captain Tucker thinks he sunk one vessel
and set another on fire, when she struck her flag.
The blockading fleet had gone to southward and
eastward out of sight.
D. N. INGRAHAM, Flag 01lioer Com'g.
General Beauregard and Commodore Ingra
ham, as commanders of the land and naval
forces, have issued a joint proclamation, dated
January 31, declaring the blockade of Charleston
raised, the entire hostile squadron having. been
sunk, burned or dispersed by the superior naval
forces of the confederacy.
Yesterday General Beauregard placed a steam
er at the disposal of the foreign Consuls to see
for themselves that no blockade existed.
The French and Spanish Consuls, accompanied
by General Ripley, accepted the invitation. The
British Consul, with the Commander of the Brit
ish war steamer Petrel, had preiriously gone five
miles beyond the usual anchorage of the blocka
ders and could see nothing of them with glasses.
Late in the evening four blockaders reappear
ed, keeping far out. This eveUing a large
ntini
bee of blockaders are in sight, but keep steam
up, evidently ready to run.
IIEADVARTERN LAND AND NAVAL FORCES,
CHARLICSTON, S. C., Jan. 81, 1868. j
At about five o'clock this morning the Confed
erate States naval force on this station attacked
the Untied States blockading fleet off the harbor
of the city of Charlestou, and sunk, dispersed or
drove off and out of sight for the time the entire
hostile fleet.
Therefore we, the undersigned, commanders
respectively of the Confederate States naval and
land forces in this quarter, do ereby formally
declare the blockade by the United States of the
said city of Charleeten, S. C., to be raised by a
superior force of the Confederate States from

the blockade had been legally raised.
Twenty blockaders are off the bar to day.
Other very important movements are in pro

NEW YOSK, Feb. 1
The reports in regard to the encounter off
Charleston Harbor, being from Rebel sources,
are doubtless greatly exaggera'ed. There has
been no interruption of the blockade, and no
such assumption will be admitted by tRe Qevern
mew..
A telegram was received to-day from Fortress
Monroe, saying :
Gen Dix is in receipt of Rebel news from
Charleston to the 3d inst, at which time that
pore. was thoroughly blockaded, the Union iron
dads lying ioside of the wooden vessels. The
former were not with the fleet at the time of the
attack on the let inst. An attack on the city
Was momentarily expected. A dispatch-boat with
an official account from Admiral Dupont was
hourly expected.
