A launch came in Bay St. Louis and took a schooner and out the telegraph line. The Confederate victory in New Mexico. Although we have heretofore published pretty full accounts of Gen. Sibley's victory in New Mexico, the following extract from a letter to W. H. Macwillie, Esq., member of the House of Representatives from risons, dated Mesilla; March 23, and written by Judge Hare, of the Confederate District Court will be perused with interest: "We have just received by express, from Fort Graig important news. A battle was fought between the forces of Gen. Sibley and Gen. Canby on the 21st February, which resulted in the complete defeat of the latter with great loss. The particulars, as given by the courier, disclose the fact that this has been the closet contested battle of the war, and perhaps the bloodiest for the num

The Bible belonging to Aquia Church was stolen, but luckily found in the ambulance

ourt-House the News says: The Zouaves broke off into squads and commenced searching the private houses, stores, Court- house, and jail. At the latter place they sung out, come out "Friends," we are here to relieve you. Here, however, they found none of their friends, they being all removed to a safer place. From the store of G. W.

ore prudent than chivalrous the Monitor saw fit to act yesterday morning. The Yankees said in Stafford. The Fredericksburg News has a long account of the excesses committed by Sickles and his ruffians in Stafford county, a portion of which we copy: About 1,600 Yankees, with four pieces of artillery, six-pounders, each drawn by sixteen negroes, landed at Evansport on the night of April 2d, by the light of Evana's House, which they set on fire. Thursday morning they went to Capt. Graves's and took all his horses and Mr. Stonnell's. At Mrs. Powers's Sickles asked for "something to drink"--the thirsty warrior!--and something to eat. The yard was full of men romping and boxing.--One asked Mrs. P. if she had any Confederate money, and on her replying no, that the army had taken it all with them, another said, that was a damned lie. Sickles said he would have to put a guard round the house. After giving him food she begged him to leave her one horse to get meal for her littl

We have heard, says the Memphis Avalanche, of the 7th, said the exciting news nearer home, that a division of Price's army, under Gen. McBride, had penetrated as far as Rolls, (eighty miles from St. Louis,) which place they burned, and completely the Federals stationed there. McBride's force was about 5,000 strong. We hear, too, that another detachment, numbering 9,000, was aMcBride's force was about 5,000 strong. We hear, too, that another detachment, numbering 9,000, was advancing on Springfield, with a view to capture the enemy's supplies collected there, which will doubtless be successful. Price is said to be advancing from Clarksville, and will again after Missouri with increasing force. The attack at Bay St. Louis. Bay St. Louis, April --About 2,000 Yankees landed yesterday at Christian, and attacked the camp. Some shots were exchanged. "Nobody hurt" on our side. Our troops in good order.

entire force near 6,400 men. Notwithstanding this superior force he boldly advanced, and on the 19th crossed the river below Craig, and making a detour of some miles arrived, on the morning of the 21st, in sight of the river three miles above the fort, where a large body of the enemy were stationed to receive him. It seems that all the enemy's forces, with the exception of their artillery and reserve, were, upon the same side of the river to which our troops were advancing. A portion of Col. Baylor's regiment, under command of Maj. Pyron, numbering 250 men, were the first to engage the enemy. Alone, and unsupported for one hour, they held their position amid a hall of grape, canister and round-shot. At that time they were reinforced, and the battle became general. The enemy then made an attack upon our right wing and were repulsed. A general movement was then made upon our line, and with some success. A portion of our left wing was compelled to fall back and take a new position

Conway they stole and destroyed almost everything, including edibles, silver, and wearing apparel; they also broke and injured nearly the whole of his furniture. They also stole his pocket book containing some $80.--From W. L. Morgan, tavern-keeper, they stole and injured a good deal of property, and before his wife's face they killed all of his poultry. They stole three horses from W. L. Morgan, James E. Schooler, and Henry A. Conway, respectively. One citizen of the Court-House, a man named Gollihorn made a horse-trade with one of the Yankees. The next day the horse returned to the Court-House. Thus Gollihorn got the rest of the Yankees, and was the only man who did. On the floor of Mr. H. E. Conway's house, they poured as a mixture blackberry wine and ink. One of the means of torture inflicted upon those citizens who were left there, was to place them between a threatened fire in front and rear, with order

ecisive. What then will the world say when it is informed that on the 11th day of April, in the year of grace 1861 the Virginia, in presence of French and English ships of war, went off Old oint and bullyrogged the famous Monitor, who, like an unwarlike and veritable "cheese box," ley in shcal water, without accepting the gage of coment! And, under her vary -water, Capt. Barney, in the Jamestown, ran in and brought off three prizes, which were towed us by the Raleigh about two o'clock, Lieut. Alexander delivering his prisoners, thirteen is number, at the Navy-Yard, and returning. A more egregious affront was never put upon a flag than this, nor doss history record a more past animous place of behavior than that of the triumphant Monitor, in lying at her moonings while the rebels daciously cut out transports before her. Will this be pronounced another victory? The editors and correspondents can with ready ingenuity convert it into one, but the French and Englishmen, who saw with

Conway, clerk, that though the papers have been much damaged and tored, yet it is believed no important book or paper was stolen, carried off, or terially injured.

large additional number of prisoners. A private dispatch, received yesterday, says that the enemy retreated to their gunboats on Monday, and there has been no fight since. The prisoners taken on Sunday were sent under guard towards Corinth. Buell sent a brigade of cavalry to attempt to rescue them, but a ody of Confederate cavalry and artillery from Corinth, not only frustrated the movement, but also captured the whole of the brigade of Federal cavalry. Our informant saw Gen. Prontison the banks of the broad Tennessee? Was he near the front of danger then as the Governor of our choice? The Atlanta Confederacy gathers the following items about the battle of Monday from a gentleman just arrived from Chattanooga: Buell's army numbered some 64,000 men, and ours 35,000. We took between 6,000 and 7,000 prisoners and all the batteries of the enemy on sunday. The fight on Monday was furious and cooperate for a time; the right wing of our army forced a whole brigad
