68.-the steamer Nashville: how she ran the blockade.
Petersburgh, March 1, 1862.
The confederate States steamer Nashville reached Beaufort, N. C., yesterday morning, at seven A. M., from Southampton, having successfully eluded the blockading steamers at the entrance of the harbor, one of which, the Albatross, it is supposed, fired some twenty or thirty shots at her without effect.
She brings about three millions dollars' worth of stores, chiefly for the use of the Treasury and Post-Office Departments.
From an officer of the Nashville we gather the following account of the trip:
Leaving Southampton at four P. M., on the third of February, within full sight of the Tuscarora, which had but just returned from a six days cruise outside of the harbor, and was then engaged in coaling-up, the Nashville steered for Bermuda, and, after successfully weathering a terrific gale of six days duration, which disabled one of her engines, reached her destination at two P. M., on th

69.-accident to the Mississippi.
Commander Glisson's report,
United States steamer Mount Vernon, off Wilmington, N. C., March 1, 1862.
sir: I have to report to you that yesterday I discovered a vessel to the southward and eastward at eleven A. M. I got under weigh and stood for her, and soon discovered her to be a vessel on shore, on the Frying-Pan shoals.
On a nearer approach she proved to be a large steamer with her American ensign down.
We were soon boarded by a boat containing an army officer, who informed me that the vessel was the steam-transport Mississippi, from Boston, for Ship Island, (Miss.,) having Major-Gen. B. F. Butler and fourteen hundred troops on board.
I approached her cautiously, sending a boat, in charge of Acting-Master Henry S. Strange, to sound between us and the Mississippi.
At half-past 3 P. M., we were enabled (though at a great risk to this vessel) to anchor sufficiently near to send a hawser to the steamer.
We steamed ahead, and suc

71.-General Curtis's address to the people of the Southwest.
headquarters army of the Southwest, camp Halleck, Ark., March 1, 1862.
I have received a private communication from an intelligent writer, a citizen of Arkansas, who says: We, as citizens, have left our homes and firesides for the purpose, as we supposed, of having to defend ourselves against a brutal soldiery that would lay waste our humble homes, and outrage the chastity of our wives and daughters, and place our own lives in jeopardy.
We have organized what is called Home Guard Companies, partly of Union men and partly of Southern men, all of whom are anxious to return to their homes.
We are happy to find that you and your men are not composed of that class of persons commonly called jayhawkers, who do not regard the rights of citizens and property, but confine the war to its legitimate object.
The falsehoods circulated concerning us have driven thousands from their homes, and I take the liberty of res
