1.-the fight at Pensacola.
January 1, 1862.
A correspondent gives the following description of the fight at Pensacola:
On the morning of the 1st inst. a small rebel steamer was observed from Fort Pickens making her way towards the navy-yard.
She behaved in a very defiant manner, some on board waving a rebel flag, which seemed to say, You dare not fire at me.
This was not to be borne with patience, as Colonel Brown had frequently warned General Bragg that the presence of these steamers would not be put up with.
As she approached, Fort Pickens opened upon her, when she retreated at double-quick time.
The fire from Fort Pickens was immediately answered from all the rebel batteries and the engagement became general.
The firing was kept up throughout the day, and at night Pickens maintained a slow fire from the thirteen-inch mortars, which was hotly returned by the rebels.
About eleven P. M. a fire broke out in the navy-yard, which continued throughout the night, and

Report of Flag officer S. P. Dupont.
Flag ship Wabash, Port Royal harbor, January 4, 1862.
sir: I have the honor to inform the department, that the attention of General Sherman and myself has been drawn for some time past to the design of the enemy to shut up our troops in Port Royal Island, by placing obstructions in Coosaw River and Whale branch, by constructing batteries at Port Royal Ferry, at Seabrook, and at or near Boyd's Creek, and by accumulating men in this vicinity in such manner as to be able to throw a force of twenty-five hundred or three thousand troops upon any of these points at a short notice.
In a confidential communication of the 28th ultimo, the General informed me that the time had arrived for arresting peremptorily the designs of the enemy, and for doing it in such a manner as would serve a subsequent purpose, and he requested me to furnish my quota of the force to be employed in the combined oper

3.-the slaves in Maryland.
General stone's order.
the following is the order issued by Gen. Stone, in reference to the conduct of his soldiers toward the slaves of Maryland and their owners:
Headquarters, camp of observation, Poolesville, January 2, 1862.
General order no. 1:
General Orders No. 16, of September, 1861, from these headquarters, cautioned the troops of this command against violating the laws of the United States, and of the State in which we are serving, by advising and encouraging insubordination and rebellion among the negro servants in their neighborhood.
This caution, well observed by most of the troops, has been disregarded by a few who, while entrusted with national arms and made thus guardians of the national honor, disgrace themselves and their Government by acting the part of oppressors and incendiaries, among the very citizens they were sent here to protect from lawless violence.
The General commanding recommends to those who feel th

6.-Geo. B. Crittenden's proclamation.
The Proclamation was taken from the fortified entrenchments near Mill Springs:
proclamation.
division headquarters, Mill Springs, Ky., January 6th, 1862. To the People of Kentucky:
When the present war between the Confederate States and the United States commenced, the State of Kentucky determined to remain neutral.
She regarded this as her highest interest, and balancing between hope for the restoration of the Union and love for her Southern sisters, she declared and attempted to maintain a firm neutrality.
The conduct of the United States Government toward her has been marked with duplicity, falsehood, and wrong.
From the very beginning, the President of the United States, in his messages, spoke of the chosen attitude of Kentucky with open denunciation, and on the one hand treated it with contempt and derision, while, on the other hand, he privately promised the people of Kentucky that it should be respected.

7.-message of Governor Letcher.
Executive Department, Jan. 6, 1862. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Delegates:
I received from his Excellency Joseph E. Brown, Governor of the State of Georgia, a communication enclosing joint resolutions adopted by the Legislature of that State, and approved December 11, 1861.
These resolutions relate to matters of the first importance, and they command my cordial approbation.
They declare the sentiment of the Southern Confederacy, and will be enthusiastically responded to by the people of all classes.
In communicating these resolutions to the General Assembly, I embrace the opportunity to fill up a hiatus in the history of the State, growing out of her changed relations.
Virginia dissolved her connection with the Government of the United States on the 17th day of April last, having watched closely the political conduct of President Lincoln and his Cabinet from the 4th day of March preceding.

Romney, Va., January 8, 1862.

Colonel Dunning, who commanded the expedition, seeing an attempt being made to burn the bridge, ordered the Fifth Ohio regiment to advance at double quick.
This was done with a shout, and in a few minutes they were on a bank within two hundred yards of the bridge, pouring in bullets a
