ed me he had in addition secured some 350 rebels running to the rear, who were captured by my brigade. Lieutenant Kuder, Seventyfourth Indiana, with his own hand, captured the colors and color bearer of the Eighth and Nineteenth Arkansas Battery, and Companies A, F, and D of that regiment unquestionably captured their guns and most of the men belonging to the battery some time before the arrival of any support upon the right, as is evidenced by accompanying statements of Captains North and Harter and Lieutenants Kuder and King, of the Seventy-fourth Indiana, and their men. I desire to direct the especial attention of the general commanding to these statements in order that he may claim for and assert for the gallant officers and men deserved and hard-won credit, without, however, desiring in the least degree to detract from the merits of the troops of any other command, least of all of the gallant soldiers of the Second Division, who, from the battle of Shiloh down to the present tim
nd arrived at the bridge over Mill Creek guarded by Block-house No. 2, at almost eleven A. M., when suddenly a battery opened upon the train, nearly all of which was upon the trestle bridge. The locomotive and first car were struck, and several of the men injured. I immediately got my command off the train, and moved it up to the Stockade, which I supposed was evacuated, but on my arrival found it occupied by a detachment of the One Hundred and Fifteenth Ohio volunteers, commanded by Lieutenant Harter; as the Blockhouse was full, and three batteries were shelling us terribly, and a heavy musketry fire commenced from all sides, I formed my men around the house, and then pushed a portion up a hill on the east side of the fort, which entirely commanded it, and from where the heaviest fire was kept up. Unable to carry the crest of the hill, I kept the men on the side of it, and had logs and stumps of trees converted into a breastwork. This position afforded them much shelter, and they

If it were prudent for such a thing to be published in a newspaper, I could give you some idea of the forces here; but I must satisfy your readers by stating that it is sufficient for the defence of the post; and, if Father abraham attempts to doubt it in a practical say he will discover to his sorrow that Harter's Ferry and Alexandria are two different places. The ladies of Baltimore have been acting very patriotically in this struggle. Las: week several came from Baltimore by the Relay House, uniforms and side-arms concealed under their hoops. I was told by an officer from Rockingham county that he had a uniform, the cloth of which was brought to him from Baltimore by a lady. She managed to set it through by basting it together and wearing it for an under-garment. A Mrs. Johnson, from the s

The negroes, while drifting past the island, were challenged by the sentries on the forts and twice fired upon. The name of the schooner laden with coal, which sank a few days since is the T. P. Leonard. She belonged to Philadelphia, and had been chartered by the Government to accompany the expedition. Important from Kansas. Leavenworth, Jan. 28. --Maj. Gen. Harter has issued an order to the effect that in the expedition about to be started South from this department, called in the newspapers Gen. Lane's expedition, it is the intention of the Major-General commanding this department to command in person, unless otherwise expressly ordered by the Government. Transportation not having been supplied, we must go without it. All tents, trunks, chests, chairs, camp-clothes. &c., must be at once stored, or abandoned. The General commanding takes in his
