Curtis reached the place on the same day with his vanguard, where he joined General Washburne, who had arrived with a regiment of cavalry from Springfield, in Missouri, without having encountered a single enemy. But the gun-boats failed to make their appearance. As we have said in a previous chapter, they had found the Confederates more humid and broken. An almost tropical vegetation transforms every marshy stream into an impenetrable copse. It was, however, necessary to push on at all hazards, and not to suffer himself to be delayed either by the enemy or by nature. Washburne, with all the cavalry, numbering two thousand five hundred horses, accompanied by five howitzers, cleared the road, and traversed the distance of one hundred kilometres intervening between Clarendon and Helena in twenty-four hours.

One-half of his army was to take charge of this matter. Sooy Smith's and Kimball's divisions formed a corps of twelve thousand men, which occupied Haines' Bluff under General Washburne. Other detachments were stationed en échelon from this point as far as the Yazoo, while the divisions under A. J. Smith and Herron were ready to join them at the first signal.

He was to carry on this demonstration as far as Opelousas, thein all directions. They have already reached the village of Grand Coteau. Fortunately, General Washburne, having been informed in the morning by Burbridge of the presence of some hostile parties,f his transports back to New Orleans to bring reinforcements. About the 21st of November, General Washburne, commanding temporarily the Thirteenth corps, reached the pass of Aransas with a brigade oatagorda and would secure the Federals the possession of two-thirds of the Texan coast. General Washburne lands his troops on the 23d at the southern end of St. Joseph's Island, and, accompanied be. He did not arrive in time.

Mr. Hawkins, of Fla. asked to be excused from serving on the committee. He had been informed that if he refused without being formally excused, he would be reprimanded by the House, but his main reason for making the request was that he did not believe in the appointment of committees for Union-saving purposes now, as he had believed heretofore. The time for compromise had passed. John Cochrane, o

There will be at least three regiments raised in Baltimore, of one thousand each, and accepted by the Government, not withstanding the attempt of the rebel Legislature of Maryland to deprive Governor Hicks of his proper constitutional power. Troops will be concentrated in Washington to the number of forty thousand. Senator Morrill, at the request of Governor Washburne, of Maine, tendered to-day to the President one regiment of lumbermen from that State, not a man to measure less than six feet. The regiment will probably not be accepted at present, as to do so would be disrespectful to many other volunteer regiments from different parts of the country which have been refused. The Government desire the requisition for the regulars to be filled before accepting any more volunteers. Major Anderson was moved to tears by the offer of the command of
