crane's official report of the battle of Murfrees
boro, is published. Considering the magnitude
of the contest, the report has made its appear
ance very promptly. The battle was one of the
bloodiest on record. Our entire number actually
engaged was 43.400; our lois in killed and
wounded, 8,778, or 20 per Cent of the whole
force. The Rebels engaged were about 68,000,

27 per cent.
DIMADFUL ACCIDENT.—On the 19th inst. whilst
General Butler, in company with the Baltimore
committee of reception, Gen. Schenck and staff,
and ether gentlemen, were visiting the forte
around Baltimore, a dreadful accident occurred.
After visiting Forts McHenry and Federal Hill,
they bad gone to Fort Marshall, where a salute
was to be fired. The General and his party had
passed out of range of the gun, and the gunner
supposing all had passed, fired a thirty-two
pounder. Unfortunately at this moment some
of the party who had loitered behind, among them,
Com. Woodhull, of the U. S. Navy, came up, and
the Commodore being in the line of fire received
the charge, blowing the flesh from his lower
limbs, and causing his death in a few moments.
His body was blown over the ramparts a distance
of thirty feet.
ASTOUNDING FRAUDS ON THE
GOVERNMENT.
The report of Senator Grimes, of lowa, upon
the subject of Alpe and steamers chartered to
transport Mope and supplies, disclose another
dark catalogue of fraud upon the Government.
In the very outset of it the reader will find an
account of the charter of thirteen bargee and
steamers at Baltimore that will serve as an illus
tration of the whole. In that translation it ap
pears that these thirteen vessels cost their own
ers—middle men, as 'usual—s6s,2B3, and that
they were chartered to the government at the
rate of $845,655 per annum—an annual profit of
three hundred and twenty , Jive per cent. Among
these wan a rotten old bulk called the Patapsco,
which was purchased by one of these middle
men for $1,200, and then hired to the govern
ment for $B5 per day, and the barge Delaware,
which coat $2,500, hired for $7O a day. The
running erpensee -of this latter vessel were about
six or seven dollars a day, and all the rest were
the profits of the culprits, whoever they are.
These vessels were hired by a man !lamed Hal,
who had a monopoly of the business, under the
direction of Col. Belga, Assistant Quartermaster
General, and John Tucker, Assistant Secretary
of War. When it in borne in mind that WO hun
dred and seventy-four vessels were chartered by
this roan Hall, some idea may be gained of the
fearful moot of which the government has been
plundered by his operations.
The ihodtut operandi was this:—Hall, as we
have said, was a at middle man," and through
the action of Mr. Tucker and Colonel Belger, had
a monopoly of the business of chartering vessels
at Baltimore. Nobody who had even a coal boat
to hire, could get access to the government offi
cers except through him. He was the agent of
the United States, selected the vessels, and fired
their i pritieS- At the same time he was the agent
of those who owned the vessels, some of them
being his own, and others having been bought
up by his creatures. In every case be charged
a commission ranging front five to twelve per
cent on the gross earnings of every vessel char
tered. Of course the higher the rate th,e more
this careful agent of the government was enabled
to pocket_
The whole report is reeking with exposed
enormities. It is impossible to estimate the
plunder. Millions' will be required to cover it.
The committee censure some high officials—they
recommend court martial for another—and they
demand what the public voice should echo in
thunder-tones, that such ill gotten gains should
be DIBOORGIED. That word "disgorge" should be
the universal cry, until justice is done the pub
lic treasury, and then It should be seen whether
criminal indictments win not lie against all those
speculators on the country's calamities.
' WAR NEWS!
Another Raid by Stnart's Rebel Cavalry.
Attack on Averill's Cavalry.
The Rebels Repulsed and Ranted.
STAFFORD, Thursday, Feb. 26, 1863.

REPORTED CAPTURE OF THE QUEEN OF THE
CM
The most important news from the Southwest
ie the reported capture of the Union ram Queen
of the West, whose gallant exploits in running
the blockade at Vicksburg are already known to
our readers. She is said to have been captured
under Fort Taylor, at Gordon's Lauding, on the
Red river—the pilot, who was taken off the rebel
steamer Eva, having treacherously ran her with
in range of the guns while asserting that the fort
was fifteen miles away. Her stemhpipe was
knocked off, and she was otherwise so disabled
that she drifted to the opposite shore, and all of
the crew except thirteen escaped. The boat and
the rest of the hands fell into the power of the
rebels.

of Col. C. A. Booderer, war Lamed by Lieut.

the 167th Penna. Militia:
BRAD QUARTERS, 167TH REST., P. M., 1 .
CAMP SUFFOLK, VA., February 17, 1868. j
ft.SCUMENTAL ORDER NO:-
The death of Col. Charles A. Kaoderer has
been announced to this Regiment iu an order
from Brigade Headquarters, the terms of which
are alike just to the deceased and creditable to
the General commanding the Brigade.
It would seem superfluous to recount to yod
the many virtues of our deceased Colonel. Only
four months ago he was a stranger to most of
you, yet in that short time his noble qualities
were so well appreciated that it may truthfully
be said, no regiment in the Berth') entertained
for its commanding officer greater respect, coed
dence and love than did cur regiment for Colonel
Knoderer.
With a thorough military education, a gradu
ate of one of the best Polytechnic Schools of
Europe, ho was 14n accomplished officer and a
brave soldier ; his private character, too, Was
full of beauty ; with a mind moat richly stored
with varied information, he was gentle and ami
able in his intercourse with friends, and perfect
ly just, honorable and honest with all.
The interest and affection felt by as for our
Colonel was fully returned by him. In health,
his mind was constantly occupied with the im•
provement and comfort of the men ; and on his
death bed, when bodily suffering caused his mind
to wander, his incoherent mutterings were all' of
the regiment.
You, men, were never long absent from his
thoughts. Cherish his memory, then, as that of
a dear friend, and make his character your mod
eL The more you imitate him the better men
and better obldiers you will be.
It is Ordered that the usual badge of mourning
be worn on the left arm for thirty days.
