for her little children, but he refused, and said she would probably get paid when the war was over. Her faithful old negro p aded his rheumatism, and at last was left, but a younger one with her cart and oxen they took, and afterwards hitched to Mrs. Ball's carriage. They took Mr. Party's horses and meat. Finding a cavalry bridle in Sam Griffin's stable, they gave a whoop, and one hundred men entered and seized son-in-law, Jas. Carter, of the Stafford Cavalry, and afterwards caught J. Fraster, of the same company. From Griffin's they also got $500 in gold and silver, and all his horses; from Nat. Ford, all his silver, horses, and two negroes. They broke into J. H. Sutile's and tore up his papers and everything else.--Fortunately, he had removed nearly all his property, and sickness prevented his saving all. Our cavalry met them at Austin's run, two miles from Stafford Court-House. After they return Friday morning, three companies went to Mr. Glaescock's and shot all his she

camp. Some shots were exchanged. "Nobody hurt" on our side. Our troops in good order. The enemy burned the tents and everything in the camp. Several houses have been struck by the shells from the Yankee gunboats. 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
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 orders from one party to run and the other to bait. At Aquia Church they broke and destroyed everything. From a Mr. Griffin, near this place, they stole $300 in specie. They carried off one person, a Mr. Chewning, of Lancaster, who had that day reached the C. H., to see his son, a member of the Lancaster Cavalry. When taken Mr. C. told them that he was a rebel in every house of the word, and defied, them to do their worst. We came near forgetting one of the chief incidents of this raid, which was the presence of and conspicuous part taken by a buck negro who, with loaded and cocked pistol, demanded free ingress and egress to every part of Mr. Rouzie Conway's private dwelling, being in search, as he said, o
rate 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 little children, but he refused, and said she would probably get paid when the war was over. Her faithful old negro p aded his rheumatism, and at last was left, but a younger one with her cart and oxen they took, and afterwards hitched to Mrs. Ball's carriage.

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 theng, rank and fire, 2,300 men, left Fort Thorn, 56 miles below Fort Craig, about the 18th of February, with the intention of taking the latter place. On arriving in the vicinity of Craig, he learned from some persons captured near the post that Gen. Canby was in command of the Federal forces in the fort; that he had 1,200 regular troops, 200 American volunteers, and 5,000 Mexicans — entire force near 6,400 men. Notwithstanding this superior force he boldly advanced, and on the 19th crossed the r

Wille both wounded — the latter since dead.--Lieut. Gregg, of Jonesboro', and Lieut. hea, of Blountville, both wounded. Knoxville boys all safe." It appears from a statement in the Memphis Avalanche that Governor Harris, of Tennessee, was in the battle. That paper says: This is a spirit worthy of the ancient and best days of our Commonwealth. Let those who a short while since were so ready to censure Gov. Harris go and do likewise. We wonder where the Military Governor, Andy Johnson, was when the trenchant steel shimmered 'neath the April sun, and the death shot hurled in battle on 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. Th

Maryland. Friday morning our scouts fired on them from Dapple Hill and scattered them, although the distance is 1000 yards. Of their doings at Stafford Court-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. Conway they stole everything of value, and left the molasses running. They also got about $30 in specie and $100 worth of shinplaster currency. From Mr. John M. Conway, a very old gentleman, they stole all the edibles they could find, and some wearing apparel, but left him his silver. From Mr. Henry R. 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 boo

ay 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.
