ing despatches alacce been received at
the headquarters of the army :
BALDIgui, Florida, Feb. O.L-Major
General H. W. Halleck, Generel-in-
Chief, U. S. A., Washington, D. C.
—General : I have the honor to re
port that a portion of my command under
Brigadier-General Seymour, conveyed
by the gunboat Norwich,
Captain
Meriam, ascended the St. John River
on the 7th instant, and landed at Jack-
Isonville on the afternoon of-that date.—
' The advance under Col. George V.
Henry, comprising the 40th Massachus
etts infantry, the independent battallion
Massachusetts Cavalry, and Major Ste
ven's and Elder's horse battery, Co. B.
Ist Artillery, pushed forward into the
interior on the night of the Bth, and
passed by the enemy, drawn up in s
line of battle It Camp Vinegar, seven
miles from Jacksonville, surprised and
captured a battery three miles in the
rear of the (=imp about midnight, and
reached this place about sunrise this
morning. At our approach the enemy
absconded and sunk the steamer St.
IMary's, and burned two Imndred and
seventy bales of cotton a few miles
above Jacksonville. We have taken,
!without the loss of a man, about one
hundred prisoners, eight pieces of ar
tillery, in serviceable condition, and
well suplied with ammunition and other
valuable property to a large amount.
(Signed) Q. A. GILMORE,
Major Gen. Commanding.
Affairs in Gen. Kelly's Department
Deserters continue to come into Gen.
Kelley,s lines. It is stated that since
the 16th ultimo nearly two thousand of
them have found refuge with the Union
! army. The scouts are capturing guer
rillas every day. Major Cole, com
manding a battalion of the First Mary
land cavalry, had a skirmish on Saturday
with a portion of Moseby's command at
Piedmont Station, in which he took 17
prisoners and killed five and wounded
a large number of the enemy. His own
loss was two killed and two wounded.
Moseby and his men were taken by sur
prise. It appears that Moseby had just
received a notice of his promotion to a
lieutenant colonelcy, and he and his offi
cers and a few sympathizing friends
were celebrating the occasion, as sol
i diers do now and then, very jovially,
when the sutler's stores are in good
condition, and were no doubt making
speeches in liquid measures, when Major
Cole came down upon them and grabbed
seventeen of them, dressed in their Sun
, day clothes, in which, like Goldsmith's
Moses preparing for the fair, they had
decked themselves to do suitable honor +
to the festive scene. For once, therefore
a few captured rebel officers were found
with good coats on their backs and un
tarnished gold lace on their shoulders.
Present for Jeff. Davis Captured.
A letter f'rom Key West gives the fol
lowing in reference to the cargo of the
steamer Cumberland, recently captured
in the Gulf: "The cargo of the Cum
berland is a well assorted one, and very
valuable. Among other things found
on board were one hundred barrels of
gunpowder and a large number of En
field rifles. She has also in her hold a
very large quantity of fine grey rebel
uniform cloth and bales upon bales of
superior navy blue, besides an immense
number of ready-made rebel uniforms,
boots and shoes—in short, everything
necessary for the outfit of both sea and
land forces. I have it on good authori
ty that the cargo cost seventy thousand
pounds in gold in England ; that.the ship
was sold there for fifty thousand pounds,
and that ten thousand pounds more were
expended on her in Havana. Another
pleasant little piece of intelligence is,
that a most elegant and costly set of
parlor furniture in papier inachie, suitable
to the -illustrious and honored President,'
has been found on board the Cumber
land. It was intended as a present to
Jeff Davis from his admirers in Eng
land. Another set, intended for Ex-
Senator Mallory, the rebel Secretary of
War, was also found on board."
Cavalry Skirmish at Cumberland Gap.
A dispatch from Cumberland Gap
of the 24th says : On the 22d inst. a
battallion of the 11th Tennessee cavalry,
stationed on the Virginia road, five
miles east, were surprised at daylight
and surrounded by a large force of
rebel cavalry. Two companies of in
fantry of the 91st Indiana and 2d North
Carolina, were with the command of
Col. Davis. The company of the 91st
Indiana, in charge of Lieut. Wise, cut
their way through and escaped .with a
loss of three killed. Two officers and
about sixty of Col. Davis' men, succeed
ed in making their escaped, but the
rest of the command were probably
captured. At the same time the rebels
attacked our outposts at Powell's
Bridge, on the Tazewell road, five miles
south, consisting of fifty men, in charge
of Capt. Pickering, 54th Kentucky
infantry supported by a block house.—
The rebels were repulsed three times,
when Capt. Pickering and his men
were withdrawn to prevent their being
cut off from the Gap. Col. Davis is
said to be severely wounded.

Skirmish with the Enemy &C.
CAxtio, Feb. 20—An officer from Big
Black River reports that just before
Teaching Jackson a skirmish ensued
between apart of Gen. Sherman's for
ces and a body of four or five thousand
rebels, in which the enemy were de
feated and forty of them captured.
Our army passed through Jackson in
two columns, the enemy retreating
across Peral iver so precipitately that
his pontoons, two pieces of artillery
and a number of prisoners fell into our
hands. Our forces seized provisions of
all kinds, and swept on.
Great dissatisfaction exists among the
Kentucky, Tennessee, acrd Mississippi
regiments, and a large number of de
serters are coming into our lines.
Gen Sherman reached Meridan in
ten days after leaving, Vicksburg. A
portion of Gen Tuttle's division got
behind, was cut off froni the expedition,
l and returned to Vicksburg.
I Gen. M'Arthur is in command of,
the district of Vicksburg, Gen. M'Pher
son having accompanied Gen. Sher-
man with most of his corps.
A refugee from Mobile • reports that
the inhabitants of that city feel secure
from attack. Fifteen thousand rebel
troops are repored in and about the
city. The Union sentiment prevailed
to a considerable extent, which will be
expressed as soon as protection is af
forded. Nothing was known of the
reported revolt at Fort Morgan.
Cu no, Feb. 23.—Ad vices from
Vicksburg to the 16th report nothing
new from Sherman's expedition.
Gen. Smith's cavalry were followed
and harrassed by Forrest and Chal
mers.
A detatchment of the 19th Penn
sylvania cavalry arrived at Memphis
the 20th from the Tallahatchie, where
they .left Smith's command, and return
ed with dispatches.
Latest News from Rebel Sources
From latest rebel papers we derive
I some important and significant newt.—
The Macon (Ga.) Confederate, of the
14th inst., says Sherman's object is the
capture of Mobile, and that the army of
Polk is "very small," and unable to give
battle with any probability of success.—
' The -Montgomery Mail, of the 13th,
I says that Sherman, "on arriving at Mor
i
Iton stole a march on General Polk, and
moved off in the direction of Mobile.—
Finding himself in this position, Gen
, eral Polk sent a portion of his troops to
reinforce the garrison at that point, and,
with the residue, retired to Meridian.—
To
have permitted the enemy to have
made this detour at Morton, without
assailing him with the force he had at i
his disposal, General Polk has, in the
opinion of high military authority, corn
mitted a grave mistake, one which may
entail almost irretrievable disastcr on our
arms in this department. So far, we
have been sadly out-generaled."
The latest from Mobile is of the high- ,
est importance. The Richmond Exam-1
iner of the 18th, says : "The War De - - j
partment received yesterday, an official
dispatch that the enemy had made a
demonstration with gunboats and a land
force at Grant's Pass, about thirty-five
miles from Mobile. The demonstration
was bloodless, as the fire of the enemy
fell short. Grant's Pass N an artificial
cut into Pascagoula Bay ; and there is
no doubt the enemy is attempting this'
approach to Mobile from Banks' lines I
and from the Mississippi River. Sher
man's column is approaching by the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad; and a third col
umn, detached from Pensacola, is un-1
derstood to be advancing on Pollard,
which is about forty-five miles from Mo
bile by rail. The situation of Mobile
is undoubtedly critical.
_ -
From Sherman's Advance.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—A rebel dis
patch of the 14th represents Gen. Polk
at Meridian, and much censured for not
attacking Sherman. His force consists
of 16,000 men.
Forrest and Lee are started to have
re-occupiep Jacksoa and to be hover
ing in Sherman's rear. Another report
says that Adams and Mo g an have re
occupied Jackson, instead of Forrest
and Lee.
The Latest from Sherman's Move-
ments.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.—The In
quirer has the following special dispatch,
dated Nashville, 25th : Our army is
now in front of Dalton, Georgia, and
will probaoly occupy the town to-night.
Tunnell Hill was earned this morning,
after considerable skirmishing.
Scouts who arrived at Gen.'Grant's
headquarters this morning, say that
Gen. Sherman has struck the Mobile &-
Ohio Railroad. Gen. Sherman has cut
the rebel Polk's army in the center, and
both wings are running in different di
rections.
There is a tremendous rebel cavalry
force in Gen. Sherman's rear, but no
apprehensions are felt for a Federal
disaster. Gen. Sherman lives upon the'
country, which it is stated abound 3 in
stores of all kinds.
There is great excitement in Mont
gomery, Ala., and the people are much
frightened at the approach of Sherman's
forces. Gen. Grant's scouts also report
that a heavy attack on. the • forts at Mo
bile was in full operation, but with
what success could not be learned.—
Gen. Longstreet's forces are back again
at their old quarters.
CINCLNNTII, Feb 26.—The Gazette's
Chattannooga dispatch says : The ad
vance force of Grant's army was within
three miles of Dalton on the 24th.—
The rebels were driven from Tunnel
Hill, and pursued till nightfall. A
heavy battle at Dalton is not improba
ble. Hardee' and Clarborne's divis
ions have been sent to reinforce Polk.
• A Nashville dispatch of the 25th says:
The army is in front of Dalton, and will
probably occupy that place to-night.--

Ti .1111eldem Murder.,
Boston aid its vicinity haie been
swept throiagh a Sea of excitement of
late, such As has had no parallel there
since the murder of Dr. Parkman by
Prof. Webster. It has lessomi of uni
versal application.
On the 16th of December,Frank
Converse, a youth just turne seven
teen, the son of the president of the
bank, was left by the cashier in charge
of a bank in the pretty suburban town
of Malden, five miles from the city.—
Five thousand dollars are left on the
counter for the business of the morning.
At half-past eleven, a young lad, the son
of the cashier, who was to relieve the
'clerk for dinner, enters the bank, and
finds him just expiring—a ball having
passed into his head, behind his ear, and
another through his temple. The mon
ey was gone, and no sign of the murder -7
er, except his horrid work. Many
(messes and searchings and one arrest
had been made, but all without effect.
The fearful public had begun to set it
down as one of these murders that will
not out—the exception that proves the
rule—when last Monday week they
were restartled by a more astounding
announcement that the murderer had
been discovered, and had confessed the
deed, and that he was Mr. Green, the
postmaster of the village, a young man
lot twenty. seven years, married within a
year,
respectably connected and hitherto
of a fair local reputation. The second
event has proved more exciting than the
first. The possibility of being murde
ed overhangs every one; but the possi
bility that one moving in the ordinary,
currents of society should commit mur
ders is beyond the reach of human cred
ibility.
The facts of the confession intensify
the surprise. The young man was I
ar
rested only because le had been spend-
I ing money somewhat freely of late, had
not been very talkative upon the mur
, der, and especially because he had paid
a debt he owed the town of $5OO in bills
of their bank. The supicions were
strong, but proof weak. He was ta
ken to the house of a neighbor, con
' fronted with half-a-dozen of his fellow
citizens, and cooly confessed the crime.
He reveals where the balance of the
money can be found. He says that he
I bought a revolver ten days before the
murder, for the sole purpose of doing
his deed ; he kept it in his office till
two days before, then loaded it, and ,
carried it about his person. Satan had
now got complete possession of him,
and drove him headlong to his fate.—
The morning of the murder he enters
the bank three times to effect his pur
pose. Being on familiar terms with
Converse, he goes behind the counter, t
once to get a bill changed to a green
back, the second time to get a torn bill,
changed. Somebody entering each of
these times prevents the consumation of
the crime. The third time the coast
is clear. He glides beside and behind
his victim, puts his revolver within a
foot of his head, and fires. The poor
lad looks at him, he says, as he is fall
ing. What a look ! How it must freeze
his soul ! What a horror it casts over
his night visions ! How can he sleep
with those dying eyes fixed upon him ?
"And when they meet at compt,
That look of his will cast his soul from heav
en"
Ile kept his secret for six long weeks,
suffering, as he says, "what God only
I knows." Now he is as frank as he was
I before secretive. He seems to be mak
ing amends for the stealthy secrecy of
years by one outburst of frankness.—
Tie has done little but weep and talk of
his crime, not his fate, since his confess
ion and confinement. The beginning of
! the awful sin was in larceny. As post
master he was tempted to open the let
ters. Being a sickly youth, of meek
and melancholic aspect, he has escaped
suspicion, and had always possessed the
sympathy that, though not a Republican,
no Republican would solicit the office
of Mr. Lincoln against him. This pri
vate and increasing robliery had come
at last to where detection was inevita
ble. His accounts were in arrears about
$6OO. He must meet them. Famil
iarity with crime leads to new steps.—
The sight of that pile is tempting.—
Honor and office are saved, providing
that young friend is put out of the way.
How easy! One shot, and all is mine.
What simple logic the devil uses. Yetl
how short the turns of his lane at the
end. The depravity of man is taught
in this lesson. Who can deny its aw
ful development l Here is a youth ofl
ordinary respectability led by the devil
and his own cruel heart to conceive, to
nourish, and to plan and to execute a!
I diabolical murder on a harmless neigh
bor. What deeps within deeps are in
, every heart ! How easy, if we put our-
I selves into his hand, to be guided to
deeds which the soul shudders to con
! template. There is no filling up this
heart with fantasies of goodness. There
it lies„ cleft to the bottom of hell, and
we can draw near and look down the
I I dark chasm and see our possibilities
grinning horribly a ghastly smile from
that sunless and fathomless depth.
We see, too, the need of parental cul
-1 ture. The young man says now, "I
bad no father nor mother ; that's why
I'm here." His mother died when lie
was two years old. His father was a
tavern keeper. The child, a sickly,
willful boy, lacked both the sympathy
land the restraints of a pious and steady
home. That father cannot hear the
reproaches of the child. Others should
take warning. There are parents
whom their children will rise up and
call blessed: There are those whom
their children, like this poor murderer,
will rise up and call accursed. Every
father or mother whose lack of Christian
profession, life, and training shall in
cline and encourage . their children in
sin will meet OA horrible execution,
either in this world or that which is to
come. It is an awful lesson to young
men, to be strictly honest and early and
eminently godly. This man !beeatile
first a petty thief, and , hot an astound
ing murderer. Thieving. provoked ex
travagance,,and extravagance ember

Four Young Ladies Drowned while
Skating.
The Reading Times of the :17th inst„
has the following : From a letter re
ceived by a citizen of this place, from
Tamaqua, dated February 15th, we
learn the melancholy particnlars.of the
drowning of four young girls of Tama
qua, while out skating on a pond. It
appears that the ice was weakened at a
place where a spring emptied into the
pond, and unfortunately one of Mr.
Geo. Brown's daughters fell into the
opening. Her sister, and two of Mrs.
Reifanyder's daughters promptly went
to her rescue, but the ice gave way un
der them, and the whole four were
drowned. The girls all belonged to
most respectable families, and the sad
event has cast a gloom over the whole
town. The bodies were immediately
recovered, and buried yesterday after
noon."
The Danish-German Difficulties.
The opinion prevails among the for
eign diplomats here, that no general
European war will resuli, from the Dan
ish-German difficulties. The belief is
that Prussia and Austria will content
themselves with driving the Danes out
of the Duchies, and then re-open ne
gotiations.
The Amnesty Proclamation Illegal.
Hon. Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland,
in the recent debate in the House of Repre
sentatives on the admission of Johnson, of
Arkansas, declared "that if the President's
Amnesty proclamation was anything more
than a mere piece of waste paper, it was a
grave infringement of the legislative functions
of the government."
So well are the administration members
of both Houses of Congress convinced of the
illegality of the President's proclamations,
they are now trying to legalize them by un
constitutional legislation.—[Patriot & Union.
