or Fort Adams, Newport. The Seventy--sixth Regiment New York State Volunteers, under the command of Colonel Green, and two artillery companies, commanded by Captains von Puttakamer and Ellis, left Albany for the seat of war. They were reviewed in the Park by Governor Morgan, and addressed by Governor Pierce, of Ulster, before their departure. They are a fine body of men, and number one thousand and three hundred strong. Navigation of the Mississippi River was entirely suspended at St. Louis in consequence of the gorging of the ice twenty miles below the city, extending to a point some distance from there, the ferryboats not being able to run, and the ice not being sufficiently strong to bear heavy weights. A flag of truce from Fortress Monroe to the rebels took to-day the following released prisoners: Colonel Pegram, Captain Sutton, Lieutenant A. C. Bell, Captain Tansill, Lieutenant John W. Pool, Lieutenant J. C. Lassell, Dr. R. W. Jeffreys and Captain L. J. Johnson.

basely manacled with irons. While thoroughly indignant we feel that the disgrace of the cruel deed all belongs to President Johnson and Secretary Stanton, none whatever to our great, beloved, vicarious sufferer. Our hearts were chilled, our countf Kirby Smith and his army, are willing to take the oath when again offered, in accordance with the proclamation of President Johnson. Among these true men whose autographs I have are Major J. Raiford Bell, Twelfth Mississippi infantry, Satartia, M Twenty-first Georgia infantry, Rome, Georgia; Captain A. C. Gibson, Fourth Georgia infantry, La Grange, Georgia; Captain L. J. Johnson, Twenty-fifth Tennessee regiment, Cooksville, Tennessee. These are the names of twenty-nine of the faithful fortngers. Yet I accord equal courage and equal patriotism with myself to those gallant men who thought best to accept President Johnson's terms after the surrender of Lee and Johnston. They merely felt the utter hopelessness of further resistance ear

be true that Kirkland should have moved slowly until he ascertained the true situation and then reported it to Hoke. I have never seen Lieutenant Stoddard nor Major Johnson since. Our courier was also captured riding my black horse, which I had loaned him that day — a brave and dashing fellow, George Tonnoffski, now living in Raleigh. Major Johnson was taken North, grew worse and worse with consumption, and died soon after his release, at his home near Woodville, Perquimans county, N. C. His conduct in that fight of the 10th was most daring and knightly. Mounted on a large gray, he was last seen with hat in hand trying to lead the Forty-second over the works. Johnson was a fine lawyer, Christian gentlemen, thorough soldier, and unselfish patriot. The day was rather a disastrous one for our brigade staff. A few days before our gallant and noble ordnance officer, Lieutenant Theodore Hassell, was killed in an artillery duel between the two armies on the 6th or 7th. First Lieut

onfederate prisoners. We take the following paragraph from the Baltimore American, of the 15th inst. The most of the gentlemen referred to have arrived at Norfolk by way of a flag of truce: For several days past a number of Confederate prisoners have been sojourning at Barnum's Hotel. Their names are as follows: Captain Tansall, formerly of the U. S. Marine Corps; Captain J. W. Poole, of the North Carolina Volunteers, and former ly an officer of the Baltimore City Guards; L. J.

g Committee are the conspiracies in beef cattle to enhance prices, by the assistance of men of straw, and of horse dealers to sell the same article several times to the Government, and the enormous abuses of the sutler system. Interesting from Kansas and Missouri. Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 16. --Brigadier General Denver left to-day for Western Virginia. A continued guerrilla warfare is carried on in Johnson and Bates counties, Mo., by roving bands of rebels. A detachment of Johnson's command recovered a quantity of government stock and other property confiscated by the rebels. On the 5th, in Johnson county, some Union troops were fired on from ambush and five men killed. The Supreme Court of Kansas is now hearing arguments on the gubernatorial question. The attorney for the contestant filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the State Board of Canvassers to count the vote cast for George A. Crawford for Governor at the late election.
