dated from Fortress Monroe on Saturday,
makes mention that the Merrimac, now
known 'as the "Vii - ginin," a receiving a
supply of coal at the Norfo k Navy-Yard,
and was expected immediittely to make
her appearance in the Roads. She is re
ported to have a heavier armament than
on her first appearance. '1 he latest dis
patch says that -the Marquee gives no
sign. ,
By the arrival yesterdaylof some trana
.Forts at Fortress Monroe, from Newberg
on Thursday, a mail is reported for thO
North, andl currency was given to a state,-
'bent that Gen. Burnside had• been suin
ruoneu by certain Rebel authorities tl
evacuate Newbein within ten days. The

From Beaufort it is repdrted - that Fort
Macon still holds out, and active prepar
ations are making,for its investment.
. The Fortress Monroe dispatch makes
reference to heavy 'firing heard in the di
rection of Yorktown—ruMor having it
that that 'place has been bUrnt. To tee

tionary hint as to the improbability of the
story.
The following Union prisoners reached

From Island No. 10 we'l learn that on
-the 3d inst. some progress, was made by
'the shelling of a Rebel battery and die
burning of a Rebel steamer; to this is
• added a statement by a Western paper
' that thirteen iron gunboats, constructed
, aLNew Orleans, have been dispatched to
-the aitro' f the Rebels at Island No. 10, al
report which would indieate the immi-1
uenet: of a coflict more severe than had
been at all anticipated. Still merle im
portant is the latest intelligence/ An
'official dispatch to the Navy Depatment
brings the pleasing intelligence tlitt, the
Union =gunboat Caroudelet, commanded!
by Capt—Wagh, successfully ra l n the
Rebel blockade at the island, passi?g un
scathed under the fire of the batte4es.—
The iwportence of this dashing advance
is seen iu the fact that ,the Carondelet
will be of the greateA service to Gen.
Pope, and also as showing that others
may follow when they. arewanted.
A Louisville. Union s jeurnal, having
carefully surveyed the field, expresses the
opinion that, if the NatiOnal army wins
the expected battle at Corinth, it milt
be against great and fearful odds. Ge?.
Gustavus W. Smith is said to have gone
there with 60,000 nien.l Thither, also
the Rebel fighting material of Arkansas,
Missouri, and Texas baS been ordered','
and it is deemed certain that in a few
days the Rebel hosts striking di's.

200,000 wen. This differs very touch
from the report of our own eorrespon

The Committee on Military Affairs, it
is reported, will soon make a report on
the whole system of perimanent defenses,
and will recommend thAt the more im
portant harbors be made' invulnerable to
attack—even by iron-cldd vessels of the
largest 'class.
It is said, the bill for the Abolition of
Slavery in the District of Columbia dill
probably be reconsidered by the 'Senate
before it is sent down to the House, for
the purpose of striking out the appro.pri
ation for oolonization—a change 'which
will facilitate its passage in the House,
which would otherwise ,have to consider
its provisions iu Committee'of the Whole.
Generals Floyd and Pillow have. been
suspended from their respective, com

}IARRISBURG, April 4, 1,862
Governor Curtin has iss•ied a General
Order, congratulating tilt: 84th and 110th
Pennsylvania, for gallant conduct at 'Win
chester, and directs that Winchester lie
insetibed on their flags, and the order to
be read at the bead of all Pennsylvania
regiments.
It is stated that the Hon. Emerson
Etheridge will return in a few weeks, as
Senator from Tennessee. This will cre
ate a vacancy in the 'clerkship of the
House. .
Wm. 11. Russell of the London Times.
has engaged his passage td England in
the next Cunard steamer. It is said that;
he considers his ejection; horses, carriage,l
staff and all, front the Alexandria steam
boat on which he embarked for Fort Mon
roe an insult, and rumor asserts that the
London Times will make it a casus
It turns. out that the order from the War
Department, proldlattinz all coirespon- '
dents from accompanying the army under
the immediate command of Gen. McClel
lan, was framed merely for the purpose of
excluding Russell, the Government being
unwilling to give facilities for acquiring

the Unired States, and 'whose etters, 'art
pearing in l . a journal I:eyond its 'control,

Dar - We like the tone and temper of the
NeWYork Tribune on the National Tax
bill. It refuses to join in remonstrances
against a tax on newspapers, but says it is
willieg to pay any tax the assembled wis
dom may see fit to levy upon it, so it is
uniform and not prohibitory. So say we.
It is a poor patriotism which wants every
thing taxed but itself. ,
Peoille's, r State Committee.
The members of the Penn'a State Cen
tral Committee will meet at the Conti

Strange Story Irons Manassas.
An officer of- the armijast returned
from -called last evening and
gave us an interestin , * e ' accoant of 'his visit
to Manassas and the battle-field of 'Bull
Rim. A farmer, residing near 'Centre-.
ville; . _told him that in January. last a
number of regiments were qttartered near
his house, among , them oue from Ken
tucky, and when the time of their enlist
ruent,expired, they unanimously , resolved
to re turn-home, and accordingly stacked
their arms and were preparing for a start,
when thlir further progress was arrested
by the appearance of au Alabama and a
Tennessee regiment, who were ordered
to reduce the Kentuckians to submission,
and compel them to remain. The Ken
tuckians seized their arms, a desperate
fight ensued, in which many were slain
on both sides, and their bodies were
buried whew they tell, the graves being
yet visible. From this spot the muti
neers retreated a short distance, threw
down their arms, and each drawing his
bowie-knite, made a desperate charge up
on the two reg iments; the fight was ter
rific, in whi s c more than one hundred
were killed,;and they too were buried up
on the field cf slaughter. At last the
brave Kentuckians • were subdued. The
battle-field was shown to our informant
by the farmer, who witnessed the fearful
contest. I Intraversing the field be discov
ered a large;bowielnife, which doubtless
had been used. in the fearful affray—
Washington, Republican.
An Incident.
When the U. S. vessels were on their
way to attack Fernandina, they picked up
a. contraband who ventured .to sea in a
small boat to notify them that the Rebels
were deserting the place. While 'ques
tioniag the black, some officers of the Al
abama remarked that. he should have
brought them newspapers, to let them
know what was going on. "I thought of
dat,"..replied the contraband "and futched
a Charlesten paper wid me." With this
he put 'a hand in Lis bosom and drew
forth 'a paper, and, with the air of a man
who was rendering. an important service,
handed it to the circle of inquirers.—
They'grasped it eagerly, but one glance
induced a general burst of laughter, to
the profound astonishment of poor Coffee,
who, it seems, could not read, and, iwao.
ining . one paper as good as another, had
brought one dated 1822—FORTY YEARS
OLD ! The South Carolina relic was for
warded to Thoreas B. Stillman, Esq.,' of
-this city, as one one of tne curiosities of
the' war. It is a little odd that this pa- .
per, which has. floated so long down the
stream of time, contains an article in fa
vor pf negro enzancipation.—P r . Y. Bee.

BENEFIT OF, ADVERTISING.—The
farmers of Bucks county. Pennsylvania,
understand from long experience, the
benefit of letting the most people possi
ble 'know when they want to buy or sell.
Even in these 'hard times" or rather
"upsettled" times, the public sales of
farm 'stock, S:c., nearly equal t hose of last
year.! Last . week, there were FIFTY-SIX
SALES advertised in the Bucks. County
Intelligencer. Bucks county is famous
all over the State for the active, business,
stable, prosperous character of her popu
lation, as displayed in the advertising
columns of the countfpaners.
Gov. Jokison has put newspapers un
der•military rule in Tennessee, and, sup
pressed one or two. He has issued a
proclamation of a coneiliatory.character.
He says he desires to will the 'people
back to the 'Union, but shall "deal vigor
ously with treason. lir. Etheridge had
made a. speech, in which he said that
Slavery would be abolished if we could
not conquer them. any other way. The
new government was to go into operation
neit. week. Warning has been given
that any one uttering treason, will be ar
rested. The Union feeling is gaining
ground ; business is pretty much re
sumed ; all the stores are again opened,
and prices have been lunch reduced.
CONFISCATON BY GEN. CURTIS.—Geo.
Curtis, it seems; has no particular horror
of the word confiscation—or of the act,
for that matter. Three negroes, former
ly slaves employed in the rebel service,
having been taken as contraband of war,
the General decrees that "They are here
by confiscated, and not being needed for
public service, are permitted to.pass the
pickets of this command northward; w.ith
out let or hindrance, and are forever
emancipated from the service of thar
masters, who allowed theta' to aid in the
efforts to break up the Government and
laws of our country." There is a ring
to
this proceeding and this talk which we
rather like.
The Tax Bill, as it draws its huge
length' along in Congress, is a stupen
dujus affair, and when it becomes a law,
it -will require a large force of collectors
to carry into effect. At least twenty-six
thousand collectors will be necessary to
gather these taxes, and of this number,
three thousand will be required in the
State of Pennsylvania
alt is officially announced that the
interest on the 4th mortgage bcinds of the
Erie Railway company, due on the lst'of
April, will be paid on presentation to the
the Treasurer. At the same time the
certificates of the Trustees for the • con
pone of the 4th mortgage bonds, due Oc
tober Ist, will be redeemed with interest
from May Ist, 1861.
