Closing of the Great Fair.
The Metropolitan Fair, which opened on
the 4th inst., in New York, closed on Satur-
day Evening last. Auction sales, however,
will be held during the present week, for the
disposal of articles left on hand. The re-
ceipts of the Fair amount to something over
$0726 Million of Dollars,—an enormous sum to
518188 by such means, especially during the
continuance of a civil war which has raged
three years. The exciting army sword con~
test resulted in another defeat for McClellan,
and another victory for Gen. U. S. Grant.
At 2 O’clock, p. m., McClellan had over 2,000
majority, but at the close the vote stood as.
follows : Total vote, 44.963 ; Gen. McClellan,
14,509; Gen. Grant, 30,291; scattering, 163;
Grant’s majority, 80,291, or 1,273 more than
the whole vote for McClellan, There was
but little eXcitement about the naval sword,
and but 922 votes cast. Commander Row-
an received a majority of 180. At 9 o’clock,
Saturday Evening, the beautiful flag which
was exhibited in the Art Gallery, was pre-
sented to Maj-Gen. Dix.

_ NEW YORK, April 2155, 1864.
EDITORS GAZETTE: The Presidential
campaign of 1864 has now been fairly
opened, and the great work of suppressing
the rebellion will progress in conjunction
with the no less difiicult task of making a
new President. We are living in stormy
times, the era of war and Of politics. The.
end sought to be obtained by the patriotic
North, it is evident to all sagacious men, will.
be reached this coming Fall. The anti-
slavery revolution, which commenced in
1654, is yet far from spent. Every succeed-
ing year it has been increasingin power, un-
til now it promises to utterly eradicate that
vile system of labor at the South, which has
proved so formidable and dangerous to the
liberties of the North. Slavery must perish.
Its dissolution and passage into oblivion is
demanded by the spirit of the age. It would
not perhaps be inappropriate at this time to
take a brief review of the course of public
events since the repeal of the Missouri Com.-
promise.
FROM 1854 To 1856.
The legitimate effect of the great triumph
of the democratic pariy in 1852 was the vir-
tual disruption of the Whig organization.
But it was not until the Kansas and Nebras-
ka bill had been successfully engineered
through Congress by Jeff Davis' Southern
friends, aided by Douglas, Bright, &c., of the
North, that the anti-slavery elements com-
bined to form a coalitiou against the democ-
racy. Then was formed the National Re-
publican party. The “conservative” Whigs
of the South, in concert with their brethren
of the North,organized the so-called “Amer-
ican” party, upon the simple platform Of op-
position to “foreign” influence in our public
schools, and at our elections. In the great
West, at the Fall elections of 1854, the Re-
publican party carried nearly every State.
In the South, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mary-
land, and Texas voted on the American
ticket; in the Middle States, political power
was very evenly divided between the three
parties; in New England, the years 1854-55
witnessed sweepingtriumphs for the “Amer-
icans"--the Republican party proper not be-
ing then organized in that section.
FROM 1856 To 1861.
In the month of February, 1856, the
“Americans” and Conservative Whigs met
in National Convention at Philadelphia, and
n0minated Millard Fillmore, of New York,
for President, and Andrew J. Donelson, of
Tennessee, for Vice President. In June, the
Republicans placed John C. Fremont, of
California, and William L. Dayton, of New
Jersey, in the field as their candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency respective-
ly. The democrats nominated Buchanan
and Breckenridge. By the energetic em-
ployment of fraud and chicancry, Pennsyl-
vania voted in the democratic State ticket in
October, (majority less than 3,000,) which
virtually decided the Presidential election.
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois,
and California were the only free States that
voted for Buchanan in November, but every
Southern State, with the exception of Mary-
land, (which voted for Fillmore,) gave him
its suffrage, and the election went demo-
cratic.
Firm in conscious rectitude, and believing,
as earnest men always believe, that their
cause would ultimately triumph, the Repub-
licans calmly bided their time, and awaited
the tide of events.
Buchanan‘s Administration proved a mis-
erable failure—utterly lost to honor, it be-
came the subservient tool of Southern tyr-
anny. Year after year the Republican party
increased in strength, and every succeeding
election'found it more powerful and cfiicient
than ever, until, in 1860, the “fountains of
the great deep” opened, and every Northern
State, save one, yielded to the anti-slavery
revolution. Abraham Lincoln was. by the
voice of the people, made President of the
United States.
’llrrn WAR.
Entering upon the discharge of the duties
of his office March 4th, 1861, President Lin-
coln found himself confronted by the Slave-
holders' rebellion. Calling to. his Cabinet
the most eminent statesmen in the Union,
and acting in concurrence with Congress, he
prepared for the coming storm. With the
events of the past three years, who is not
familiar ? The colors of the Union have
been borne to the for South, often in victory,
seldom in defeat, by the volunteer legions of
Freedom. From the Potomac to the Rio
Grande del Norte—in the banks of the Rap-
pahannock, the James, the Tennessee, and
the Mississippi, McClellan, Burnside, Grant,
and Banks have signalized the American
Flag by great battles, frequently culminating
in magnificent victories, occasionally ending
in terrible reverses. But the Armies of the
Union have gained ground everywhere.—
West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,Arkan-
ass and Lousiana' have been virtually rc-
deemed from rebel thraldrom; the free nav-
igation of the Mississippi has been secured;
the blockade of the Southern coast has been
highly effective—and to-day the Stars and
Stripes gleam in the sunlight in every State
of the South, . and the veterans of three
years' warfare, recruite and supported by
countless thousands o brave men, stand
ready at the word of command to close in
with the Confederates for a final struggle.—
The Summer of 1864 promises the most aus-
picious results to the cause of the Union.
THE “CONSERVATIVE” ERA or THE GOVERN-
MENT.
The great. question of dealing with the
cause of the rebellion (Slavery) was one of
the first and most difficult of problems to be
solved by the Administration. It was nec-
essary at the outset of the rebellion to deal
cautiously, yet firmly, with that system of
servile labor—a system which had grown
with the growth of the Southern people un-
til its dimensions became so great as to cause
the North to arise in her might and declare
that it should go no further. The temper of
the North in 1861-62 would not permit the
Administration to openly avow the over-
throw of Slavery as one of the results to be
obtained by the war. Pro-Slavery men and
Abolitionists—men of the most diverse and
apposite sentiments—came together on the
simple platform of the restoration of the
Union. It was then believed that the Union
could be restored in all its former glory
without recourse to emancipation, and the
Administration was 10th to break the unity
and harmony prevailing among the loyal
people by making the issue of the war as-
sume an anti-slavery color. Butthe traitors A
of the North determined to force the question
upon the public. The “copperheads” rallied
in their strength at the Fall elections Of
1862, and, by calling to their aid the war
democrats, succeeded in trinmphing at the
polls. The pivot States of New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania voted in 'the demo-
cratic ticket—the first-named State electing
Horatio Seymour, Governor, by 10,752 ma-
jority. Our reverses in the field, the state of
public opinion abroad tending to recognition A sun sheds its efiulgenoe upon the Star-Spring.
of the Confederacy, the defeat of the Ad-
ministration at the polls then made it as
apparent as the sun in the heavens that to
persist longer in the so-cslled Crittcuden
policy would lead to the ultimate triumph of
the rebellion.
THE ERA or FREEDOM.
January lat, 1863, was issued the Procla-
mation of Freedom. It was received both
at home and abroad with marked approval.
It convinced European powers, what we
had ourselves known since 1861, that the
war would never and till the Union was
firmly restored, and thenceforth foreign rec-
ognition of the “Confederacy” became an
impossibility.
From January 1, 1863, to April 21, 1864,
the President has been generously sustained
by the people. The “copperheud” verdicts
of 1862 were nobly reversed in ’63.. In New
England, Maine gave 20,000 majority for
Freedom, New Hampshire 1,000 (and in
March 5,700; Vermont 20.000, Massachu-
setts 42,000, Rhode Island 8,000, and Con-
necticut (this month) 5,000. In the Middle
States, New York gave 29,500 majority for
the Administration; New Jersey decreased
her usual copperhead majority 4,000 Notes,
and Pennsylvania rolled up over 15,000 ma-
jority forLincoln and Curtiu. In the West,
the great State of Ohio polled over 100,000
majority for the Union ticket against 5,500
“copperhead” majority the preceding year;
Indiana and Illinois voted heavily Union at
their town elections; and Wisconsin, Mich-
igan, Iowa, and Minnesota gave glorious
majorities for “Honest Old Abe.” Missouri,
which gave Lincoln but 17,000 votes for
President in 1860,went 80,000 better lastNo-
vember. 0n the Pacific coast, ,California
voted by 15,000 majority that the President
was right and should be sustained in his pol-
icy. In the South, West Virginia voted
unanimously Union; Louisiana, which did
not give Lincoln a single vote in 1860, yoted
in the Lincoln candidate for Governor, a few
weeks ago, against two candidates, one Un-
ion and the other Anti-Union; Arkansas,
now that her guerrillas and desperadoes are
out of the State, leaving her honest and so-
ber-minded citizens free to vote as their con-
sciences dictates, gives over 17,000 ballots for
Freedom and the old Flag; Deleware and
Maryland, too, roll up overwhelming major-
ities for the Union ticket. Undoubtedly
these great Union victories at the polls were
due in equal measure to our military succes-
se; and the Emancipation policy of the Ex-
ecutive.
PREsIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN or 1864.
Having finished our retrospect of political
events since 1854, and shown the growth of
the Anti-Slavery feeling at the North to have
been continually increasing in momentum
and power from that period to the present,
it now becomes our pleasant duty to demon“
strate the necessity of retaining Mr. Lincoln
in office during another term. The with-
drawal of Secretary Chase as an aspirant for
Presidential honors, leaves Gen. Fremont the
only prominent candidate in the field,against
Mr. Lincoln, for the succession.
THE ONE TERM‘ ARGUMENT.
Mr. Lincoln’s opponents contend that the
one-term principle of holding office ought to
be the rule in the United States, and that the
Presidentshould bow to that principle. Mr.
Lincoln will be guided by the Wishes of the
people, and will accept nothing that they do
not freely confer upon him. If the National
Convention decides that a single term of of-
fice should be alone conferred, bewever mer-
itorious and valuable may have been the ser-
vices of the Executive, no man will more
willingly bow to their judgment than be.—
But if, on the other hand, that Convention
holds that faithful service and sterling quali-
ties of head and heart merit continuance in
office, that decision will be no less accepta-
ble. If the one-term principle. of holding
office is favorably entertained by the Union
party, why was Gov. Buckingham re-electcd
in Connecticut a few weeks ago? Why has
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Is-
land, New York, Pennsylvania, and scores
of the loyal States, re-elected their faithful
and capable public officers, Senators, Repre-
sentatives, &c. ? In fine, to apply the one-
term principle to the Presidency alone,would
be an anomaly and a gross injustice. Was
not James Madison re-elected President du-
ring the war of 1812? Was net Andrew
Jackson re-elected President in 1832? The-
political enemies of the President must find
other and higher ground than the one-term
objection to his re-nomination if they wish
to be successful.
THE RADICAL ARGUMENT.
“But,” say the opponents of President Lin-
coln, “he is not sufficiently radical and pro-
gressive in his principles to serve another
term. He has hitherto displayed altogether
too much conservatism to suit the earnest
anti-slavery men of the North.”
No objection to Mr. Lincoln’s re-nomina-
tion could be more unfounded. His policy
as President has fully kept pace with public
sentiment, and has sometimes been even in
advance of it. Mr. Lincoln is as earnest an
anti-slavery man now as he was in. 1858,
when, addressing the people of Illinois from
the stump, he proclaimed the incompatibili-
ty existing between the systems of freedom
and labor, an incompatibility which he
contended would in the natural course of
events cease to exist, and freedom become
the rule, not the exception in the Southern
States. Butif Mr. Lincoln 13 radical in his
views and earnest in expressing them, he
does not forget that as President of the Uni-
ted Statesa great responsibility rests upon
him. He must yield his personal preferen-
ces and desires to the public good, whatever
he does, must be done cautiously and deci-
sively. Every public not of his Ad ministra-
tion must be carefully weighed and consid-
ered before it is recorded in history. Gov-
erned by no hot, impetuous or fiery impul-
ses; actuated by no selfish or unworthy mo-
tives ; really alive to his duties, and ever
discharging them with promptitude and
care ; never lacking in that Jacksonian cuer-'
gy and perseverance so necessary in a Pres-
ident, Abraham Lincoln is emphatically “the
right man in the right‘place,” and should be
there retained.
WAsnrNGTON AND LINCOLN.
The very objections now raised against
Mr. Lincoln’s re-elcctlon, were pressed upon
the people during Washington’s term of of-
fice by the opponents of that great man. We
had “radicals” then as we have now, who
contended just as it is now assumed, that he
was not sufficiently “progressive" for the en-
lightened spirit of the age. But the oppo-
nents of George Washington failed to pre-
ventlris rc-clection, just as the opponents of
Mr. Lincoln are destined to fail in 1564.
TWENTY Yams lIENCE.
When the passions of the hour and the
mad strife of party that now prevails shall
cease to exist, the nation will not fail to do
justice to Abraham Lincoln. When the
dispassionate American comes to read the
record of our country‘s trials and our Presi-
dent’s conduct, he will indeed be none
other than a traitor who fails to ascribe to
him the highest meed of reverence and re.
spect.
MR. LINCOLN’s Rat-ELECTION DEMANDED
BY THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
From the North and from the South, from
the East and from the West, from every
quarter of North America, where the rising
led banner, the pcople,—thc loyal poo-l
pie—demand the re-election ofPrcsidcntLiu- E
coln. Crafty and astute politicians may :
combine to prevent it; “copperheads” and
renegade Unionists may coalesce to arrest
the movement; venal presses and venal men
may interpose their arguments and their gold
to crush it, the voice of the peeplc cannot be
suppressed. Sixteen States have already
proclaimed their intention ofye-electing Lin-
coln; and are June comes to our doors all,
or nearly all, the remainder will join them.
When the Baltimore Convention meets and
the votes for President are counted, Abra-
ham Lincoln will have been rc-nominatcd
by a majority so large,—by such a prepon-
derating suffrage--that his opponents will
wonder at their ov‘vn presumption in daring
to contest the nomination. Cnannus.

From the 7th 0. V.
ON BOARD S. Snrr S. W. SPAULDING,
April 16th, 1864. "
Emroas GAZETTE :~—Well, here We
are, on our way N ortb, bound for that
quiet place, (i. e) army of the Paloma
—that is, Madame Rumor says so. On
the 13th of this month orders came for
the 7th Regiment, 0. V., to get ready to
leave Jacksonville, Fla. ; soon it became
generally known that we were to leave
the Southern department. With some
it was welcome news, with others net-so
much so—as far as I am concerned, I
prefer the South, (that- is, the coautfi,
not :the sentiments.) we have been
South for little less than three years; and
have seen considerable of the country;
and I suppose a great many think we
have seen pretty easy times. I should
like to have any one that has that Opin-
ion have a chance to try it for a season.
As usual, the orders did not reach
Camp till late in the evening, and we
were to be on board the Steamer early
the next morning. Morning came, and
with it the bustle and preparations at-
tendant upon breaking up of Camp ; or-
der's were very strict about taking only
what one could carry in his knapsack,aud
. there was enough left in the way of
clothing, to clothe a small community,
but it had to be left.
About 7 o’clock, A. M., the bugle
sounded for the men to fall into line,
they were soon ready and on the march
for the bout. Shortly after leaving the
camp we were agreeably surprised to find
the 17th' Regiment in a line, under com-
mand of Major Allen, waiting to escort
us to the boat. It was something unn
sue! for us to have an escort, but none the
less welcome, and I am sure the members
of the 7th C. V. will appreciate the kind
feeling that promoted this act of courte-
sey, for which, I believe we have to thank
the same Maj. Allen, and, to quote an
old saying, “may his shadow never be
less.” From conversations that I have
had with a number of the 17th, I should
judge he was well liked by the members
of the Regiment, and, while on the sub-
ject, allow me to say that, in the opinion
of a great many, the 17th has changed
for the better, in a great many respects,
since its advent into the Southern de-
partment, where it has had a chance to
brush off some of the dust and mud of
the Virginia campaign.
After reaching the wharf, the two
Regiments were halted, and an opportu-
nity given for band shaking and good
byes to he said, and I can assure you it
was well improved, for many friends
without doubt have seen each, other'for
the last time here ; but as almost every-
thing has its end, so it was in this case,
for orders came to fall in and march
aboard the boat, which was soon done,
and as the boat was leaving, cheers Were
given for the 17th, and for the 7th, and
last, but not least, three times three for
the good old State of Connecticut, and
her noble Governor, Wm. A. Bucking-
ham ; and so, with Our Bandplaying,
we sailed from Jacksonville, to try what
we can do in Virginia, I» here you may
possibly hear from us again.
I think that letters addressed to Wash-
ington, D. 0., would be as likely to reach
the Regiment as any other way, for the
present. The boys from Norwalk are all
well. T. B. B.

An Agreeable Surprise.
A very pleasant affair Came ofi in
Wodbridge on Thursday evening week.
The good people there having decided to
give their minister, Rev. D. M. Elwood,
a vacation,’ and to supply the pulpit
meanwhile at their own expeuce, thought
it best also to furnish him with the means
of enjoying his vacation, and so assembled
at his house to the number of scvmd,
hundred,briuging with them the mulel'l tie
a most elegant collation, which was soon
spread upon the tables, and supplied to
the company present until! they did “ all
out and were filled.” After a season
spent in social Intercourse, the principal
feature of the evening was reached 'by
presentation, in a very neat speech by
Marcus E. Baldwin, Esq. to the minister,
of the sum of three hundred dollars, “ us
a slight token of Our esteem for the Rev.
D. M. Elwood as a man, and of our ap
preciation of his services among us as a
faithful preacher of ‘ Christ and Him

dred dollars, “ as a slight token of our
faithful co-laborer with her husband in

THE WAR IN LOUISIANA !
THREE DAY’S BATTLE I
Our army broke camp at Natchitoches
on the morning of the 6th lust. and
marched out on the Shreveport road
twenty miles.
The following morning at daybreak
the cavalry again started and came upon l
a body of mounted rebels before they had ;
marched two miles.
Fighting began at once and the enemy
were rapidly driven before our troops.
The running style of fight was kept up
for fourteen miles until they had got two
miles beyond Pleasant Hill. Here a
force of 2,500 rebel cavalry, commanded
by General Green, were found strongly
posted on Wilson’s plantation.
The only Union soldiers'that had ad-

fight, which was inevitable, was the cav-

by Colonel Ha’rral Robinson. As he
had either to attack or be attacked, he
decided totakc the initiative, and he led
his men in with such a dash and vigor
that at last the enemy was completely
whipped and driyen from the field.
The engagement lasted two hours and
a half, and our losses amounted to about
forty killed and wounded. The enemy’s

clock iu the afternoon our forces had
compelled the rebels to retreat 7 miles.
Our loss as well as the enemy’s was ve-
ry severe'during this time.
The enemy was now met in strong
force under, command of Gen. Kirby
Smith. That Gen. Dick Taylor, Morton,
Green and Price was also there was af-
terwards ascertained from prisoners, who
also stated they had under them 18,000
to 22,000 men, while our force compara-
tively was a mere handful.
Gen. Ransom arriving on the field with
his command, formed his line as well as
circumstances would permit.
Gen. Banks and staff rode upon the
field by thetime the disposition of our
forces was effected. Word was sent back
to Gen Franklin to make all speed possi-
ble for the scene of the momentarily ex-
pected bottle.
It was the design of Gen. Banks to re-
main quiet until the balance Of his army
came up and then open the battle, but
Kirby Smith knowing his own superior-
ty in n umbers began the conflict before
they could arrive. ’
The whole strength of the enemy was
advanced, and heavy and repeated volleys
were discharged on our right and center,
and all our available strength was re—
quired to prevent its being crushed by the
masses of the enemy. Our left, which
was now also hotly fighting, was necessa-
rially much weakened, and it was observ-
ed thata strong body of the enemy was
massing in a dense piece of wood prep-
atory lo dashing down and flanking the
end of the line.
Gen. Stone ordered Gen. Lee to have
Nim’s battery withdrawn, although it
it was doing great execution, in order
that it might not become a prize to
the enemy.
Gen. Lee sent his aid (10 camp, Col. J.
S. Bushin, to withdraw the battery.
On reaching the point its removal was
found impossible, nearly every one of the
horses having been killed.
In a few moments a solid mass of the reb-
els swept down upon the spot, and four
of the guns were taken, the other two
being dragged from the field by hand.
The havoc made in the ranks of enemy at
this point is represented as appalling.
The forces that made this charge, were
commanded by the rebel Gen. Mouton,
who fell shot through the body with four
balls.
It.was known that Franklin’s troops
had been sent for, and anxious and wist—
ful were the glances cast to the rear.
Gen. Cameron with his brigade came
up, and going into action at once 0'] the
right, where the battle again waxed hot-
test, created the impression that the vet-
erans of the 19th had arrived, and a glad
and exultant shout went up. from our
wearicd and desperately situated little.
band. This belief was strengthened by
the arrival of Gen. Franklin, who dashed
boldly into the thickest of the fray, cap
in hand, cheering on the men. General
Banks too seemed ubiquitous, riding
wherever the men wavered, and by per—
sonal example inciting them to renewed
deeds of daring and reckless valor. But
human beings could no longer withstand
such fierce and overpowering slaughter.
The enemy followed our men step by
step for three—quarters of a mile, but be
we advancing to meet a fearful retribu—
tion.
The 19th Army Corps had been or—
dered to stop and form its line of battle.
The retreating Union troops passed
through the lines and formed in the rear.
The re bcls thinking they had repulsed our
whole army, dashed impetuously on, and
thought the line but half visible in the
woods before them was another feeble
but desperate stand of a few men.
Gen. Emory commanded this force,
consisting of two full brigades, and he
ordered the fire to be reserved until the
rebels were within short range,when from
both infantry apd artillery, posted thickly
along his lines, a storm of iron and lead
was hurled upon the foe“ that literally
mowed them down. The rebels halted
in amazement, but still they fought
bravely. Volley after volley was dis-
charged from each side full into their op—
ponents ranks, but neither gave sign of
yielding, and night enforced a cessation
_ of hostilities
The two divisions under command of
Gen. A. J. Smith, belonging to the 16th
and 17th Army Corps, had marched ,to
Pleasant Hill, and bolted. -.Geu. Banks‘
determined to withdraw his army to that
point for the sake of an adviintageous
position, knowing the enemy Would follow
what they supposed to be a (ll-lHOl'llllZCd
army. In accordance with this plan of
operatigp all our men \l‘cl'c withdrawo to ,
Pleasant 1115i. :
The ramp DAY'S near.
At 7 o’clock on Saturday foreuoou our
forces were all at Pleasant Hill. and the
rebels were advancing, cavIIh-y in from,
endmvoring to discover our position.
The skirmishing uns kt'pl up with
considerable vigor until :L'mllt 5 o’cloak
iii :the nfteynpon, when Ihe rebels had
completed their ai-‘gia_ug,-.,,-,p;;_ts for the
attack At about lhis" incur en" 'Emo-
ry’s skirmish band was divenlin on“ 'the
right by rebels who appeared in large
force.
Qnr batteries and infantry opened with !
grape and canister, wln
,
artillery, being in thclwoods and in bad 1
position, did scarcely any damage. .
The fighting was terrific. Old soldiers §
say it Was never surpassed for desperation.
Notwithstanding the terrible havoc in
their ranks, the enemy pressed fiercely on,
pushing the men of the Nineteenth Corps
back up the hill, but not breaking their
line of battle.
A sudden and bold dash of the rebels
on the right gave them possession of
Taylor’s battery and forced our line still
further back. Now come the grand
coup do main The Nineteenth, on arri-
ving at the top of the Hill, suddenly filed
off over the Hill and passed through the
line of Gen. Smith. We must here men-
tion that the rebels were now in but two
lines of battle, the first having been
almost annihilated by Gen. Emory—what
remained being forced back into the
second line. But the two lines came on
exultant and sure of victory. The first
passed over the knoll, and all headless of
.the long line of cannons and crouching
forms of as brave men as ever trod moth-
er carth, pressed on. The second line
appeared on the crest, and the death sig-
nal sounded. Words cannot describe
the awful effects of this discharge—-
Seven thousand rifles and several batte-
ries of artillery, every gun loaded to the
muzzle with grape and Canister, were
fired simultaneously and the whole cen—
ter ofthis rebel line was crushed down
as a field of ripe wheat through which a
tornado had passed. It is estimated that
1000 men were hurried into eternity or
frightlnlly mangled by this one discharge.
No time was given them to l‘etZOVel' their
gOod order, but Gen. Smith ordered a
charge, and his men dashed rapidly for—
ward, the boys of the Nineteenth going
in. The rebels fought boldly and des-
perately back to the timber, on reaching
which alarge portion broke and fled,
fully two thODSand throwing aside their
arms.
In this charge Taylor’s battery was re-
taken, as was also two of the guns of
Wier’s battery, the Parrott gun taken
from us at Carrion Crow last Fall, and
one or two others belonging to the. reb~
els, besides 700 prisoners.
Thus ended the fearful and bloody
struggle for the control of Western Louis-
Iana.
GRAND Ecoaa, April l5.-—About 25
miles above here on the left bank of the
Red River the rebels opened on the
truDSports Clara Belle and Rob Roy, and
fired 12 shots into them.
A force of 1,000 mounted infantry,
said to be part of the rebel General
Green’s command, come down in front of
a battery and poured volleys ofmusketry
into the steamers which were getting the
worst of it, when a small gunboat Oppor-
tuuly came up, shelled and silenced the
battery, and compelled the rebels to fall
back. .
Gen. A. J. Smith’s 16th corps subse-
quently arrived near the scene of action,
and crossed OVer from Grand Ecore,
marching up the right bank of the river
and again crossed over to push and pan-
ish the enemy. They captured two guns
and 17 wounded prisoners. who asserted
positively that the rebel General Green
was killed by a shell from the Bob Roy.
This is another signal victory. The
rebels left 164 of their dead on the field,
slaughtered by the terrific fire of our
gunboats and transports. In their To
treat their slightly wounded were taken
off. By the death of Gen. Green the
enemy have lost one of their most valua-
ble officers.

WAR NEWS.
We have by way of Philadelphia re-
ports of an attack by the Rebels upon
Plymouth. N. 0. Fighting is said to
have commenced there on Sunday after-
noon. The Rebels in force, attacked
Fort Gray, which is about a mile from
the town, on the Roanoke River. _ They
have planted a heavy )attery on Polk’s
Island, about half a e distance, and
kept up a continuous fire. The Rebels
advanced slowly forward up to within a
short distance of th fort. when they
made a charge. They were received with
a galling fire, which caused them to fall
back, Again and again they rallied to
the charge and endeavored to lake the
citadel but to no purpose. Each time
they were repulsed with fearful slaughter.
They retired, with their-artillery still
keeping up afire. Their iron ram and
four Rebel gunboats moved down the
river to the obstructions, within six miles
of the town, to co Operate with the land
forces. The Rebel force was from 10,000
to 15,000 strong. Gen. Wessels is in
command of the Union forces. He has

are stationed several of our gunboats,
and they have had to stand already much
of the brunt of the engagement. The
fire Of the rebel artillery has been direc-
ted on them, and it is said that on the
gunbot Bombshell several have been killed
and wounded. During the engagement
the Rebels captured a member of the 2d
North Carolina Loyal Regiment, who
formerly deserted, from the 7th North
Carolina Rebel regiment and it is repor-
ted that he was hung on the spot without
even so much as the form of a trial. It
is rumored that the rebels have also
made a. demonstration simultaneous with
this in the vicinity of Newbern. The
Boston Advertiser says, in the attack on
Plymouth last Sunday, by sea and land,
the gunboat Whitehead ss reported to
have been sunk. The fight was going
on up to midnight of Sunday week The
Union force . is believed to be strong
enough to hold out.
