om your staff officers, with the exception of your Chief of Staff, and Lieut. Wetzel, of the engineers. The force at your disposal will consist of the first thirteen regiments named in your memorandum handed to me in person. The 21st Indiana, 4th Wisconsin, and 6th Michigan (old and good regiments from Baltimore)--these three regiments will await your orders at Fort Monroe. Two companies of the 21st Indiana are well drilled at heavy artillery. The cavalry force already on route for Ship Island will be sufficient for your purposes.--After full consultation with officers well acquainted with the country in which it is proposed to operate. I have arrived at the conclusion that three light batteries fully equipped, and one without horses, will be all that will be necessary. This will make your force about 14,000 infantry, 275 cavalry, and 580 artillery: total, 15,255 men. The commanding General of the Department of Key West is authorized to loan you, temporarily, two reg

Destruction of a Yankee sloop. Pascagoula, Jan. 24. --On the night of the 5th inst., an outward bound sloop, laden with turpentine, while attempting to escape from Pascagoula River, grounded on the bar in Middle Pass. To prevent her falling into the hands of our pickets, she was fired by her crew, who succeeded in making their escape in small boats. The vessel and cargo, with the exception of two barrels of turpentine, picked up on the west side of the river, were wholly consumed. On the evening of the 20th, a gunboat came to under Round Island, and took on board eight or ten negroes who had fled from their owners residing on the river, and carried them to Ship Island. Yesterday a new gunboat, not seen before in these waters, and three schooners, cutter rigged, were abreast of Horn Island, standing to west ward last night. This morning several heavy guns were heard in the direction of Chandieur Island. No gunboat visible to-day.

. They threw out pickets on the Covington road within two mites of that town, and also on the Madisonville road, on the east side of the river. Our informant was at Covington on the 7th, and started for Madisonville the same night, in company with two others, being ignorant of the near approach of the enemy. The other two were captured, but our informant, though repeatedly fired at, escaped unhurt. He estimates the enemy's force at not more than two or three hundred. They are engaged in raising the hulls of several vessels sunk in the river by our authorities. Our force at Covington at the time consisted of one company — Greenlee's Sharpshooters — which withdrew towards Franklinton. He represents the trade in cotton carried on between Amite Summit and other places on the New Orleans and Jackson Railroad and Baton Rouge as very extensive, and without molestation. Four gunboats were in sight yesterday--three off Round Island. Others have proceeded towards Ship Island

The "Yankee" negroes. A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser who was for some time confined at Ship Island, near New Orleans, writes an account of the negro "Yankeeized," as he is seen there. At dusk the change was made which transferred us from the vessel to Ship Island. As the heat's yawl touched the wharf and we mounted it, the grinning countenances of twenty contrabands, at tired in blue uniform, with the undress blouse and forage cap of the Yankee army, greeted us and followly announced the privilege of an interview with Col. Grovener, of the Corps d' Afrique, Military and Civil Governor of Ship Island. This distinguished personage boasted of being an original Abolitionist and New Hampshire editor, and during our sojor ago when the same troops landed at Pascagoula for the purpose of pillage and plunder, with which their encampment on Ship Island was to be furnished, upon which occasion less than 20 Confederates defeated and routed in panic the 1,200 ebony "Union

Ingenuity of rebel ladies. --A correspondent of the Mobile Register, who has obtained some information from New Orleans, writes as follows: "Prisoners in this section of country are no longer kept in New Orleans. The officers are sent North, and the privates and others to Ship island. The Yankees say this is all owing to the peculiar cookery of the ladies of the Crescent City, who, being permitted to feed the prisoners, occasionally send them such exquisite dishes of file pie, hatchet pudding, rope cobbier, chisel pot-pie, screw driver catsup, etc., that no bricks or bars in town could hold them."

h a peculiar grace. There is an air of superiority about them which is so different from the unpolished manners of the wives and daughters of the Yankees, who strive to imitate the elegance of Southern refinement. --The day before we left for Ship island is a day that will ever be remembered by us. The ladies accompanied us to the levee to bid us there a fond adieu. They had to walk from Carondelet street, near Common, to the foot of Jackson, a distance of nearly two miles, at a very rapid rabels' assembled. We were kept in the hold of the ship until about fifty miles below the city, thus being debarred the pleasure of seeing New Orleans and of exchanging signals in the dim distance with the beings we loved. After our arrival on Ship island, we were not forgotten by our friends. Boxes containing clothing and provisions were frequently sent to us, and hardly a day passed but what we were forcibly reminded 'of our dear friends' by something sent to administer either to the comfort
