Fremont was ordered to cross the mountains and intercept Jackson in his retreat; but he disobeyed orders and took the wrong road, thus giving Jackson an opportunity to escape. Not satisfied with the disasters that they had caused in the Valley, they commenced their attacks on the army on the Peninsula, and did all within their power to harass the Commanding General and divert him from the real work that he was there to accomplish. The work of this cabal was the more dangerous because it was secret and under the pretence of friendship. At every point their hate of General McClellan was made manifest, and eve

He also sold a man named Marshall a pass to take goods across the lines to sell, and afterwards arrested him and sent him to Ship Island. Any man who was imprisoned could buy his release who had money, (from $100 to $1,000,) including thieves and burglars. All these things were done, in my opinion, with the knowledge of Gen. Butler, as in many cases he had to sigh his name to the releases. I reported all these facts to Gen. Banks. My landlady, where I lived, was imprisoned eight days for having a package of papers with a list of vessels which had left New Orleans, and was not released until she gave them up. Those were papers intended for Washington. All these facts are true, and I am willing at any time to swear to them. If planters did not sell Colonel Butler their produce he would have the same confiscated, and he bought at his own price. Cattle were stolen and sent to the city and sold; horses, also, by

The 20th of February was a glorious day for accession in New Orleans. Gen Banks must have been amazed and delighted at the display of "Union sentiment" among her citizens. it showed him that, after sending her thousands and fens of thousands of brave men to fight in our holy cause, her women, undaunted by the power of the but the worthless "bath," to be thrown at their feet, were at and constant in their hour of trial and distress as when the fields of Manassas and full Run bore the fresh footpilats of the thousand Yankees.

The New York Herald, of Saturday last, the 21 inst., has been rece3. --The National Republican, of this afternoon, publishes some official dispatches from Gen. Banks, dated near St. Martinsville, April 17, from which it appears that when he left Baton Rouge three regiments of colored troops remained for its defence. The results, among others, of Gen. Banks's expeditions are: Accomplishing a march of over three hundred miles; beating the enemy in thre ever, reorganize the land and naval forces in that part of Louisiana. Other successes of Gen. Banks, already known to the public, are mentioned. Our loss in the two land battles was about 600 or 700. Nothing could exceed the conduct of the officers and privates in Gen. Banks's command. The dispatches say that we have not only destroyed the army and navy of the enemy, and captured

Gen. Lee's army — later from the North. The only intelligence we have heard of reaching the city was from an officer of the Signal Corps stationed on the lower James, who had been fortunate enough to have an opportunity of reading Northern papers of the 6th. This officer telegraphs to the War. Department that there journals state that not one word had been heard from Gen. Meade's army since the 4th, and that they contain nothing whatever with reference to the great battles which have taken place at Gettysburg. The same officer alluded to telegraphs that the papers of the 6th speak despondingly of the situation of Gen. Banks in Louisiana.--From Vicksburg they had no later intelligence than that contained in their issues of the 4th. Among the rumors which got loose yesterday day was one to the effect that Vice President Stephens had been informed at Fortress Monroe that Lee's army was in full retreat.

per to go aboard. The officers were very much depressed, and spoke very little to the Confederates in charge of the prisoners. The only fact they stated was that Sickles had died from his wound, and that up to Saturday night Meade, the Commander in Chief of the Army of the Potomac, had not been wounded.--Sickles's right leg was amputated below the knee, but the operation was so unskillfully performed that a second amputation became necessary. During the latter operation he died. The Herald, of Saturday last, promised an extra Sunday morning, in which it expected to announce the capture of Port Hudson by Banks; the fall of Vicksburg; the Bagging of Bragg's army by Rosecrans, and the utter rout of Lee's ragged rebels by the invincible veterans of Meade. It is very likely that the extra was not issued. One of our exchanged Confederate prisoners says he heard a Federal tell a friend at Fortress Monroe that Meade had lost 40,000 men in the battles of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
