Rumored Repulse of Admiral Parra-

WAVIINGTON, March 19
News of much importance, if it be true, reaches
us from Fortress Monroe, based upon the state
ments of rebel newspapers at Richmond, to the
e het that the fleet of Admiral Farragnt has
b-mn repulsed by the rebels at Port Hudson, the
frigate Mississippi burned and the flagship Mart•
brd disabled. It would appear from the account.,
of this affair, that oar land forces were not en
gaged, and it may have been merely a naval re
connoissance, attended probably with some die
aster, which has been considerably exaggerated
at the rebel sources of information—the only
ones from which we derive any intelligence so
far
LATER—THE REPORT DENTED.
CINCINNATI, Mar& 19
The reported destruction of the Mississippi, in
Farragut'e attack upon and repulse from Port
Hudson, is now denied by the Richmond papers.
which admit ted that one of our vessels succeeded
in running the batteries.
Another Fight on the Bleekwater
A. very spirited battle took place on the Black

spatched the . Eleventh Pennsylvania cavalry,
wider Col Spear, and two sections of the Seventh

treachmeuts, commanded by Gen. Jenkins, of
South Carolina, opposite Franklin. The figh,
commenced at nine o'clock A. M , and was car
tied on briskly for an hoar. Two separate cav

These were found to be literally lined with in
fantry, who poured a deadly fire into our ranks,
wounding many in the first charge, which was
made by Major Stratton, who was wounded in
the shoulder. The second charge was conducted
by Major Cornog, who led his men np to the fortifi

READING, March 14, 186$.
.ffr. Getz :—As guarded as I generally hereto
fore have been in making charges against a po
litical prurient, I unreservedly acknowledge
that I h ve in a measure done wrong (but not
wilful to Mr. Ashmun , in accusing him with
bein the author of the " Extract " published in
,I„
the- Gazette of Feb. 21, and republished this
morning. But to explain. On Monday last, I
visited a neighboring county and returned home
this morning. Whilst away, a letter from my
absent friend (who had furnished me with the
"Extracts" of the speeches of Messrs. Delano
and Ashman) arrived—it was on last Thursday—
in which be states, that on the 10th unit. he ac
ci.lentally met with the Gazette of the 21st Feb
ruary, containing the "Extract" 'Wendy alluded
to, in which he discovered an error—not an in
tentional one on his part—and writes me " to
hasten and have it corrected." My friend is in
the habit of copying extracts from speeches on
slips of paper, and endorsing them with the
names of the authors, but in this instance he
misplaced Mr. Ashmun'evame. I am exceed
ingly sorry that I could not be at home on Thurs
day—in time to prevent its republication this
morning_ It is very unpleasant to be obliged to
recall a statement published to the world as true,
but an honorable man will not fail to do so (and
that unhesitatingly) as soon as he discovers his
error, and will not wait until a demand is made
upon him. Such a person is my absent friend,
who regrets this occurrence extremely, and offers
as an apology to Mr. Ashmun and to such as have
received it as truth, that he undesignedly placed
the name of the gentleman on the wrong slip of
paper. The following is the "Extract" of a
speech, delivered by Mr. Ashmun during the
Mexican war, which my friend had intended to
band to me, and which he assures me positively
ie "true and RI) mistake." The reader will find
the sentiments to be similar to those previously
misquoted. It would be an appropriate speech at
the present time;
but if delivered by a Demo
crat, he would be denounced by the Editor of the
Journal as a "Copperhead" or Traitor.

sion continued further, amid confusion upon the

Hall and the House were full of "• borers," and

seats with changed views. 'These things were
a gross outrage upon the rights of the honest
yeomanry of the State, and resulted in the rob
bery of the tax payers, the orphan and the wid
ow. It was time that such acts were known and
stopped. The speech of Mr. LAZAR was the
most bitter and pointed in its assertions which

REPORTED CAPTURE OF MEXICO.
The Richmond papers of the 17.6, received at
Fortress Monroe on the 18th, announce the cap-
Lure of the city of Mexico by the French army.
No date is assigned for the event. It is just pos
sible that the Richmond authorities may be in
possession of such UM, received by way of
Texas, and telegraphed from Houston to Port
Hudson, and thence to the rebel capital; but its
authenticity is, to say the least of it, doubtful.
General Foray's army left Orizaba for Puebla
—a distance of forty miles—on the 19th, 21st
and 23d of February ; and it was understood
that the Mexican forced were prepared to defend
that position, in which case it would have re
quired some time to 'reduce it. Still, it may be
that the Mexicans did not stand to defend Pue
bla, and that the French occupied it without
opposition. and marched thence on the capital—
a distance or tievOntrax would
not have been so capable or defence.
