aving located the enemy, (the original object of the expedition,) and obtained other valuable information, the command was withdrawn, by the way of Germanna Ford, to the other side of the river, where the prisoners and other captures had been previously forwarded.--Richmond Enquirer. A detachment, composed of companies G, H, I, and K, of the Fifty-eighth regiment of Illinois infantry, with a portion of the Second Illinois cavalry, under the command of Captain Franklin B. Moore, pursued Faulkner's rebel partisans to a point on Obion River, four miles from Union City, Tennessee, where, in attempting to cross the river, the rebels were fired on, and eleven of their number killed. The Nationals captured fifty-three prisoners, a wagon-load of small-arms, thirty-three horses, and four mules. Their casualties were one man wounded and five horses shot.--large and spirited meetings were held in all the wards in Boston, Mass., last night, to encourage volunteering. Committees were appoin

rces of the National Government. And at the powerful French court, the source of much of the political opinion of the ruling classes of Continental Europe, Charles J. Faulkner, of Virginia, the American Minister Plenipotentiary, it was believed, was an efficient accomplice of the conspirators in the work of misrepresenting their Government, and maturing plans for securing the recognition of the independence of the Seceded States. This suspicion of Mr. Faulkner was unfounded in truth. When, during the month of January, the politicians of several of the Slave-labor States declared those States separated from the Union, and, early in February, proceeded tst two years, will be observed hereafter. The French Emperor, to whose court William L. Dayton, of New Jersey, was sent, by the new Administration, to succeed Faulkner, of Virginia, In his instructions to Mr. Dayton (April 22, 1861), Mr. Seward took the same high ground as in those to Mr. Adams. The President neither expects

raid. He swept rapidly up from Northern Mississippi into West Tennessee, rested a little at Jackson, and then pushed on March 23. toward Kentucky. He sent Colonel Faulkner to capture Union City, a fortified town at the junction of railways in the northwestern part of Tennessee, then garrisoned by four hundred and fifty of the Eleventh Tennessee Cavalry, under Colonel Hawkins. Faulkner appeared before the town on the 24th, March. and demanded its surrender. Hawkins refused.

He surrendered the garrison, about two hundred horses, and five hundred small-arms. At that moment General Brayman, who had come down from Cairo, was within six miles of Union City, with an ample force for Hawkins's relief. This conquest opened an easy way for the possession of Hickman, on the Mississippi. A small Confede

When Mr. Ely, in Richmond, (exchanged for Mr. Faulkner) called at the office for his passport, a hearty laugh occurred over the brown paper on which it was printed, and which had been contracted, for by the superintendent of public printing. He asked if it was Southern manufacture. The passport officer replied in the affirmative, and suggested that he should exhibit it, the specimen, in the North, and say that although crude in its origin, we would refine upon it, and never cease striving for independence until we could make as good paper as the Yankees. The Yankee M. C. said he had no doubt we would arrive at the dignity of white paper.--Richmond Dispatch.
The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the Baltimore American, gives currency to the assertion that ex-Minister Faulkner, exchanged for Mr. Ely, actually carried despatches from his colleagues in Fort Warren, to the rebel authorities at Richmond, and that he concealed several in the stem of his large pipe, and put a number in the shape and likeness of cigars.--N. Y. Times.
Munchauseniana. Frederick, Md., Feb. 19.--On Saturday night, at a complimentary dinner tendered to Hon. Charles J. Faulkner, at Martinsburg, Va., that gentleman, in a speech, said in effect, that the policy of secession, as it had been carried out, was a failure. It had been accompanied with an unnecessary waste of life, the best blood of the South, and immense sacrifice of property. If this course was continued in, it would pile ruin on ruin. The public sentiment of Western Virginia was opposed to it. He also intimated that he had no affiliation with those who wished the present war to continue. His remarks were acquiesced in by the large audience present, and he had no doubt but they reflected the true sentiments of nine tenths of the people of the upper counties of the Potomac. Reports from usually reliable sources say between three and four hundred of the Berkley county militia have deserted in a body, and are en route to cross the Potomac and join our ranks.
