has been gone, nobody can conjecture. But for the fact that the President and the Secretary of War fairly drove him into a movement, on pain of wresting from him his bottom, it is doubtful whether McClellan would have discovered the absence of the enemy till midsummer." Bloody fight in Mexico — the Texans Victorious. The following is the Yankee version of the battle in New Mexico, heretofore alluded to, in which a decided success attended the Confederate arms: St. Louis, March 13. --The Republican has advices from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to February 23d, giving details of a recent battle at Fort Craig. The figat commenced on the morning of the 21st, between a portion of our troops, under Col. Roberts, and the enemy, across the Rio Grande, with varied success, until 2 o'clock, Col. Canby then crossed the river in force with a battery of six pieces, under Capt. McCray of the cavalry, but detailed in command of the battery — He had also a small battery of two h

er, at Key West the 10th instant, "the steamer Water Witch overhauled a schooner while attempting to run the blockade. Among those on board was Wm. L. Yancey, disguised in sailor's clothes. He was recognized and handed over to the fort." This is further confirmed by a letter from Howard Potts, engineer of the Water Witch. This is rendered doubtful to the Feds. by Southern accounts, which announce Yancey's arrival at New Orleans. The capture of Newbern. The day before yesterday (March 13th) we landed all our troops (about nine thousand) fifteen miles below Newbern, and, as they marched up, we sailed up, and shelled the woods as we went. Now and then we came across a stubborn fort, when we would have to stop and give them a few extra "pills." The fight did not commence in real earnest until yesterday morning about daylight. The enemy had one thousand three hundred in the field. It has been the hardest fight we have had. Our troops have suffered severely, and we have

I'ecatur, Ala., March 13. To the Editors of the Dispatch: Please public the subjoined, article from the Knoxville Register, in reference to the fall of Fort Henry. It is full of facts, as every officer at the post can certify, and will go far to remove the many false and unjust reports that have been in circulation concerning General Tilgeman. S. Why Fort Henry fell — Justice to General Tilgeman. Fort Henry was a well-built pentagonal, bastioned earthwork, on the secondary bottom of the river, and the whole plateau forming the terreplein, or foundation of the fort, had been several times, in thirty years past, seven or eight feet under water, and was partially overflowed every winter. It was located in June last, by B. R. Johnson, Major of Engineers in the Tennessee provisional army, and was not finished until september — the water in the river then being thirty-five or forty feet lower than the fort. This seems to have been an oversight in the engine

he hopes, if the liquor be of good quality, you will not venture to taste it, as he might thereby incur much risk of losing it altogether — a privation which, however agreeable to yourself, would be attended with serious inconvenience to himself during the prevalence of the prevailing "nor'easters." S. B. B. The battle in Arkansas--another Federal account. We copy the following dispatch from a late number of the Missouri Republican: Springfield, Mo., March 11th. via Rolla, March 13.--A messenger arrived at 10 o'clock last night, bringing additional news of the battle. The engagement took place on Little Sugar creek, five miles this side of a stream of the same name, where the skirmish took place. On the march down, in anticipation of an attack on the South, Gen. Curtis ordered the trains to be drawn up on the north side, but unexpectedly the attack was commenced on the rear, north of our army, by 1,500 or 2,000 rebel cavalry. General Siegel, with 800 men, protected

Bitter attack on Gen. McClellan. [Special Washington Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune, March 13th.] Why George B. McClellan was called to the onerous and responsible position he has held for the past seven months, will never be fully explained. When appointed Major-General of Volunteers by Governor Dennison, of Ohio, he was Superintendent of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, a dilapidated concern, which had long been on its last legs:--It is putting it in very soft language to say that his standing among railroad managers was not high. In used, the truth would bear me out in asserting that it was rather middling, if not decidedly low. He had put his name to a large volume five years before, as one of the American Military Commission to the Crimes. Of this respectable, though somewhat jejune work the public supported him to be the author. It was known only to a few that it was merely a compilation and translation from European publications — that an enterprising bookseller

hich, if the source be reliable is very important. The news from Yorktown is not of a very material character. Three slight skirmished occurred on Friday, but resulted in a trifling loss to our forces. One thing appears certain, that the rebels are concentrating their troops to resist the onward march of General McClellan, and by Gen. Magruder's orders, which we publish to-day, it will be received that the rebels had their defensive works in good order, and ready for action on the 13th of March, in anticipation of this very movement so recently made by Gen. McClellan. It also appears certain that one hundred thousand rebel troops are a Yorktown, and about fifty thousand more in the neighborhood of Richmond and Gordonsville. It would further appear that it is not the intention of the rebel leaders to allow the Merrimac to come out and engage our vessels in the neighborhood of Fortress Monroe, but merely to keep our ships-of-war all there; watching the actions of the rebel trai
