The night after the fight the Federals, under a flag of truce, requested permission to bury their dead and collect their wounded. At the time our informant left the number of killed and wounded was not accurately known, but was supposed to be over five hundred. I was not known how many of the Federals perished in the river Capt McRae, of the regular army, and Capt Hubbell, of the New Mexico Volunteers, were killed.--Capt Lasalle, of the regular army, and Capt Barrientos, of the volunteers, were taken prisoners. A company of Pike's Peek volunteers was literally cut to pieces. Of the Federal army of over 6,000 men stationed at Fort Craig on the night after the battle, only 3,000 could be mustered; more than half being killed, wounded, taken prisoners, or having deserted.

ws or other legal representative, and asked to be discharged from its further consideration, the law already providing for the payment of such bounty. He also reported back certain joint resolutions to prevent the escape of persons guilty of treason, and to provide for the removal of disloyal persons, and asked that the committee be discharged from their further consideration, and that they be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The House then, in Committee of the Whole, (Mr. McRae, of Miss. in the chair,) took up the bill making appropriations for the executive, legislative, and judicial expenses of the Government for the month of December, 1852. The bill was passed with slight amendments. The House, remaining in Committee of the Whole (Mr. Curry, of Ala., in the chair,) took up the bill to raise revenue, known as the Tax bill. Mr. Lyon, of Ala., addressed the House in favor of the committee's bill. Something, he said, was necessary to be done, some sche

ing element in the market, well calculated to depreciate the bonds of the Government. How could the operations of such a bill inspire confidence in the Government? The bill was unjust in its provisions, in that it discriminated between the speculator and the producing classes of the Government. The effect of the adoption of such a measure would have an injurious effect abroad. It would be at once declared that the people had no confidence in the financial condition of the country. Mr. McRae, of Miss., followed Mr. Bridgers, in support of the bill, maintaining its constitutionality. Mr. Clapp, of Miss., addressed the House at length in opposition to the bill. The question was then called upon the motion of Mr. Carnett, of Va, to strike out the enacting clause of the bill, the adoption of which, the Chair stated, defeated the bill. The vote being taken, the motion was agreed to. The committee then rose, and the chairman reported its action. Mr. Perkins, of La.,

orfolk for some purpose unknown to me. Finally, after I had kept a body of three hundred recruits in New York harbor ready for some time — and they would have been sufficient to reinforce temporarily Fort Pickens, and to occupy Fort McRae also — the President, about January 18, permitted that the sloop of war Brooklyn should take a single company, ninety men, from Fortress Monroe, Hampton Roads, and reinforce Lieut Slemmer, in Fort Pickens, but without a surplus man for the neighboring fort, McRae. The Brooklyn, with Captain Vodges's company alone, left the Chesapeake for Fort Pickens about January 22d, and, on the 29th, President Buchanan, having entered into a quasi armistice with certain leading seceders at Pensacola and elsewhere, caused Secretaries Holt and Touley to instruct, in a joint note, the commanders of the war vessels off Pensacola and Lieut Slemmer, commanding Fort Pickens, to commit no act of hostilities, and not to land Captain Vodges's company unless that fort s

l organized into temporary companies, and tolerably drilled and disciplined — quite equal to the purpose in question — besides the five companies of regulars near at hand, making about one thousand men.--These disposable troops would have given (say) two hundred men to the twin forts, Jackson and St. Philip, below New Orleans; an equal number to Fort Morgan, below Mobile; a reinforcement of one hundred men to Fort Pickens, Pensacola harbor, and a garrison of the like number to the twin fort, McRae; a garrison of one hundred men to Fort Jefferson, Tortugas Island, and the same to Fort Pulaski, below Savannah, which, like Forts Jackson, St. Philip, Morgan and McRae, had not at the time a soldier — leaving about two hundred men for the twin Forts Moultrie and Sumter, Charleston harbor, where there were two weak companies, making less than ninety men. Fortress Monroe had already a garrison of some eight companies, one or two of which might, in the earlier period of danger, have been spare<

as great as the fall now witnessed since. There was every symptom that the result would have led to the establishment of Confederate power in Washington, and a prompt inflicsion from New York and Pennsylvania. The Times contains a letter from Mr. McRae, the agent for the loan, who says the purchases of cotton by the Confederate Government will probably amount to 500,000 bales. He states that the cotton is principally in Georgia and Alabama, and some also in Eastern Mississippi, Northwestern Louisiana and Texas, and is stored on the plantations of planters from whom it was purchased, in sheds or warehouses, 300 feet from other buildings. Mr. McRae says the capture of all the Confederate seaports would not endanger the loss of a single pound of cotton, as there are no stocks of cotton at any of them nor are there any considerable stocks of cotton at any one place in the interior, care having been taken by the Confederate as well as by the State Governments that no cotton should
