ebels, with two artillery pieces, had made a stand in a very commanding position on the opposite bank of a small creek, at a place called Old Ford. The marine battery and the New-York battery opened upon them, and the Forty-fourth Massachusetts, supported by the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts, charged across the stream, and the rebel position was speedily carried, the marine battery losing one man killed, James King, of Chicago; and the Forty-fourth Massachusetts two men, Charles Morse and----Rollins. The rebel loss could not be ascertained, as they removed all the bodies of their dead except one. The rebels retreated to rifle-pits at Rawls's Mills, one mile distant, from which they were speedily driven out — our troops losing but one man, Thomas Peterson, of the Twenty-fourth--when the main body of our army crossed the stream on a foot-bridge, constructed for the purpose, and encamped for the night in a corn-field, near the deserted rifle-pits, without tents (having brought none wi

reprehensible that they are now difficult to find, and quite banished from orderly households. One of his first attempts in verse was a rhymed catalogue of the books in the family library — a list which begins as follows: The Bible towering o'er all the rest, Of all other books the best. William Penn's laborious writing And a book 'gainst Christians fighting. A book concerning John's Baptism, Elias Smith's Universalism. How Captain Riley and his crew Were on Sahara's desert threw. How Rollins, to obtain the cash, Wrote a dull history of trash. The lives of Franklin and of Penn, Of Fox and Scott, all worthy men. The life of Burroughs, too, I've read, As big a rogue as e'er was made. And Tufts, too, though I will be civil, Worse than an incarnate devil. Now the lives of George Burroughs and Henry Tufts were the Gil Bias and even the Guzman d'alfarache of the New England readers of a hundred years ago; the former having gone through many editions, while the latter — by far t

s built shortly before the war, and an admirable vessel, carrying a powerful battery of twenty-two Ix-inch guns, one 80pound-er, and one rifled 30-pounder. The Vincennes carried four Viii-inch shell guns, and fourteen 32-pounders. The Water Witch, a small vessel, well adapted for river service, had one 24-pound howitzer, two 12-pounders, and one Dahlgren 20-pounder. It was known that considerable preparations were making at New Orleans to fit out a naval force under the direction of Commodore Rollins, and in particular that a formidable ram, the Manassas, was in process of construction; but no extraordinary precautions seem to have been taken by the blockading squadron to prevent a surprise. On the 11th of October, the Water Witch had towed a coaling schooner alongside the Richmond, and had afterward anchored on her starboard quarter, a little inshore. The Preble lay in advance of the Richmond, about one hundred and fifty yards off, on her starboard bow. The Vincennes was lower

vous and embarrassing results." Even the Tribune sneeringly speaks of the proclamation in question "as another illustration of the infelicity of our commanders in this species of composition." Details of news from Washington. We copy the following from the Washington Star, of last evening: The only arrival since our last report is that of the Mount Washington, which went down on Saturday morning, returning that evening. Messrs. Hale, Clark, Edwards, Rice, of Massachusetts; Rollins, of New Hampshire, and others, went down on the Mount Washington, and after passing Stump Point the steamer was stopped, it not being deemed expedient to expose her to the enemy's fire, and the party took to the boats and proceeded to Budd's Ferry. Two shots were fired by the rebels at the boats, but without effect, both going wide of their mark. It is thought the design of the enemy was not so much to injure the party as it was to draw the steamer down within range to pick up the boats.

Adopted — yeas 90 and nays 81. Bounty to soldiers' widows — the rebellion Lugged in. On motion of Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, the House received itself into Committee of the Whole and took up the House bill to give bounty to the widows of soldiers who have been or may be killed. Mr. Rollins, of Missouri, said he always believed it far better to settle there national difficulties by an appeal to reason and to the ballot-box, rather than by the use of arms — The present civil war will be and must be regarded as a scandal and a disgrace to the age in which we live. The conspirators of this rebellion, in the judgment of posterity, will be considered as moral monsters and the worst of foes to well regulated liberty.
