d infantry, and a section of Barnes's battery, Twenty-first New York, with one gun, had been out mending the line of telegraph to Baton Rouge, and on their return were attacked by a superior force of rebel cavalry and driven in. Simultaneously an attack was made on the pickets by an equally large force, and the detachment on the telegraph road was cut off and flanked. The cavalry came in by wood roads, but the piece of artillery was spiked and left, and afterward carried off by the enemy. In the several skirmishes the Nationals lost one killed, four wounded, and six prisoners. They took two prisoners, one of them an officer. General Ullman's division marched several miles outside, but on the approach of the infantry the rebels left without hazarding a tight. The rebel force was the Wirt Adams's cavalry from up the river, numbering nearly a thousand. They were well mounted and equipped.--the rebel schooner Spunky was captured by the National schooner Beauregard, off Cape Canaveral.

When General Ullman, of New York, received the appointment of brigadier-general to raise a brigade of colored troops in the Department ood officers for his command. The gentleman who had been dismissed the service the Governor regarded as the man for General Ullman to have; but, unless the Secretary of War or the President would agree to overlook and forgive the offence committed, Mr. Stanton, and Senator Sumner, urging the re-appointment of this officer, with especial reference to serving under General Ullman. One of these letters addressed to Mr. Sumner, dated Jan. 28, says,— Without a moment's delay, go to the Presidficers. On the 28th of March, he wrote to Colonel Frank E. Howe, in New York, to recommend to the consideration of General Ullman, who was authorized to raise a colored brigade in the South, James Miller, of Salem, as a proper person to receive a

f danger into our lives, for our forage parties were fired into by the enemy more than once, but we always succeeded in bringing back our men with us. The black regiments did valuable service for the Union, leaving their dead on many a southern battle-field. Mr. Stearns was a noble man, courteous, with great executive ability, and grandly fitted for the work he was engaged in. At this time Major Stearns's friend, General Wilde, was recruiting a colored brigade in North Carolina, and General Ullman was organizing colored regiments in Louisiana. Major Stearns's labors were brought to a close in February, 1864, by the eccentric conduct of Secretary Stanton,--the reason for which has never been explained. He obtained leave of absence to return to Boston at Christmas time, and after a brief visit to his family went to Washington and called upon the Secretary of War, who declined to see him three days in succession. On the evening of the fourth day he met Mr. Stanton at an evening

I was ready to obey my last order. His body was embalmed and brought home to his native town of Hardwick. Mass., to rest amid the scenes of his boyhood. Long will his memory be green in the hearts of his friends and townsmen. His surviving son, Louis E. Granger, is in his country's service on the staff of Brig. Gen. Ullman at Morganzia, Louisiana. M.

Comparative Meanness and vulgarity. The journals of the large cities are discussing this subject with much vigor. It is of more interest to themselves than anybody else. The New York Herald asserts that in Philadelphia, the committee who had charge of the opera given in honor of the Prince refused to pay the paltry sum of two hundred dollars for the decoration of the opera house, and left Ullman and the opera people to pay it out of their own pockets, and that in Boston the latest "notion," and not the most creditable, was the effort to exclude Governor Banks from any share in the reception of the Prince, and the attempt to lay the responsibility upon the Prince after he had left the country and could not set the matter right.--The Boston and Philadelphia papers retort by blazing away at the snobbishness displayed at the New York ball, and the action of the Common Council with regard to the bill for the Prince's reception, in not only refusing to pay the bill, which was only fo
