They belonged to Gen. Utiman's brigade, and were captured on a reconnaissance to Jackson, La., by Col. Logan's rebel cavalry. There was great excitement at Columbus, Ky., on the 1st inst., owing to Gen. Smith enforcing Gen. Hurlburt's conscription order. There has been a large number of arrests for military purposes. Among the rebel property confiscated in Washington is the house and furniture of John A. Campbell, and real estate of George D.

ut the terrific gale prevailing since Friday made it impossible for him so to do. Major Gen. W. F. Smith, who accompanied Gen. Grant, remained here, and will in all probability be assigned to an important command under Major Gen. Butler. Gen Smith is an excellent officer, he having been tried not only in the Peninsula campaign and all its attending battles but also in the Western fields, under the immediate command of the new General in-Chief. The position to be assigned to Gen. Smith hGen. Smith has not yet been made public, but will be one of importance and commensurate with his rank. Judge Ould's mission to this place, as I intimated in my dispatch of the 30th ult., was for the purpose of facilitating exchanges of prisoners between the United States and the rebels. During the two days of his stay at Old Point Comfort Gen. Butler and he came to the most perfect understanding, and hereafter exchanges will continue on a fair and honorable basis, unless the same is interrupted or int

Our whole loss is said to be but 18 killed and about 60 wounded most of them slightly, while that of the enemy is known to be much greater. It is estimated by some as high as 300 killed and wounded, and we captured over 500 prisoners, and others were yet being brought in, in squads of twos, threes, and half dozens. Our troops did not halt at the battleground, but pushed on, Dudley and his cavalry in the advance, and it was supposed no rest would be given the enemy. It was the design of Gen Smith to force the rebels to stand, and to defeat them in a pitched battle if possible. This would tend to disorganize the rebel army, among which considerable dissatisfaction now exists. The Lacross was destroyed by guerillas on Tuesday evening last, about twenty miles this side of Alexandria. At this time she was lying in the centre of the river, and was surprised, captured and burned by a few guerillas, who floated down to her on a raft from a band a short distance above. The officers

Pennsylvania cavalry are at Bernard's Mill. There are five cavalry regiments near Portsmouth--11th Penn, 5th Penn, 5th N. Y, 1st N. Y, (Dodge's,) and 20th N. Y. Gen Smith, recently sent to Butler, takes command of this force, and his headquarters are at the farm of Col S. M. Wilson. From the Trans-Mississippi Department. e Trans- Mississippi Department, obtained from a gentleman just from New Orleans. The battle at Fort De. Russey, between Major Trogean of our forces, and Brigadier General Smith, commanding a part of Sherman's army, lasted four hours. The exact number of killed, wounded, and missing is not known, but our informant says that seven Connecticut, Massachusetts, renegade Louisianan, and negro regiments, were sent to Baton Rouge. Four steamboat loads of Northwestern men were sent to Cairo. General Smith, in his report, says that "the Confederate loss is very light," but that "our (the Federal) loss is very heavy, which is always the case with the assaulting pa

receive the enemy with effect. General Emory had charge of the first line of battle, with Gens McMillan, Dwight, and others Behind Emory posted in a hollow, was Gen Smith's forces. Skirmishing was kept up until about five o'clock in the afternoon, when the rebels came up in their old style in masses, in three lines of battle. Ounal charge. Now came the grand coup de main. The Nineteenth, on arriving at the top of the hill, suddenly filed over the hill and passed through the lines of Gen Smith. We must here mention that the rebels were now in but two lines of battle, the first having been almost annihilated by Gen Emory, what remained having been forcted that one thousand men were hurried into eternity or frightfully mangled by this one discharge. No time was given them to recover their good order, but General Smith ordered a charge, and his men dashed rapidly forward, the boys of the Nineteenth joining in The rebels fought boldly and desperately back to the timber, on rea

ana has proved a complete failure, and he is represented as having been driven on the north side of Red river, and is seeking refuge at Natchez, on this side of the Mississippi. This leaves all West Louisiana free from the enemy, and will play hob with those Yankees who have emigrated thither with the view of raising cotton and sugar. They will be compelled to give up their farms, of course, and re-emigate to the North. Gen Magruder seems to have no foe to contend with in Texas, and Gen Smith will remain idle during the spring and summer, as it will be impossible for Lincoln to supply Banks with a new force sufficiently strong to renew the campaign. Gen Price, too, since he has been relieved of the Incubus of Gen Holmes, is beginning to loom up, and will again signalize himself as the deliverer of Arkansas and Missouri. His victory over Steele seems to have been a complete one, and we doubt whether Steele will be permitted to remain long in Little Rock, even if he should

Richmond not taken. Yesterday was the eighth day of the strife for the possession of this city, and it is not yet taken by the enemy. The Yankee Government proposed, by its grand combination, to have accomplished the work with certainty and promptness. But there has been a hitch in each Department of the strategic schedule; and Richmond, as far as appearances can signify, is as far from failing into the invaders' power as ever. The large force under Butler, or Smith and Gilmore, has been performing a dance of forward and back, and cross over, without acquiring any advantage since the day it landed. On the contrary, it has been repulsed whenever it advanced. Still it lingers, apparently for some thing to turn up. The mounted infantry raid will fail, and the whole question of the situation reverts to the two great armies now confronting each other on the Rappahannock. If Gen. Lee finally defeats Grant, the question is settled for Grant. He goes home, and, if he follows the
