or Fort Adams, Newport. The Seventy--sixth Regiment New York State Volunteers, under the command of Colonel Green, and two artillery companies, commanded by Captains von Puttakamer and Ellis, left Albany for the seat of war. They were reviewed in the Park by Governor Morgan, and addressed by Governor Pierce, of Ulster, before their departure. They are a fine body of men, and number one thousand and three hundred strong. Navigation of the Mississippi River was entirely suspended at St. Louis in consequence of the gorging of the ice twenty miles below the city, extending to a point some distance from there, the ferryboats not being able to run, and the ice not being sufficiently strong to bear heavy weights. A flag of truce from Fortress Monroe to the rebels took to-day the following released prisoners: Colonel Pegram, Captain Sutton, Lieutenant A. C. Bell, Captain Tansill, Lieutenant John W. Pool, Lieutenant J. C. Lassell, Dr. R. W. Jeffreys and Captain L. J. Johnson.

Brigadier-General Porter. Her Secession proclivities have long been the subject of popular conversation. Doubtless the charge against her is of being in treasonable correspondence with the country's enemies now in arms. Mr. Greenhow died in California, in 1844 or '5. He was twenty years ago employed as librarian and translator in the State Department here. Afterwards he was translator for the commission of private land claims in California, where he was accidentally killed. Captain Robert Tansill and Lieut. Thomas S. Wilson, both of the U. S. marine corps, tendered their resignations to the Secretary of the Navy, who, instead of receiving them, instantly dismissed them from the service. They were arrested by the Provost Marshal's Guard in the course of the night, and yesterday morning were sent by rail to Fort Lafayette, in New York harbor, which is in charge of Col. Burke. Reports of other arrests were current last evening, but in the absence of reliable information na
