Our troops were compelled to abandon a portion of the cannon captured on Sunday, we presume, owing to their crippled condition, but spiked them before leaving them.

lrous 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 negoxing.--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 little children, but he refusebelonging to Aquia Church was stolen, but luckily found in the ambulance which they were unable to take off. From the servants they stole everything of value. Dan. Sickles certainly was there, as was also a Col.

ph 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 Represent: "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 particuct that this has been the closet contested battle of the war, and perhaps the bloodiest for the numbers engaged. "Gen. Sibley, with his command, numbering, rank and fire, 2,300 men, left Fort Thorn, 56 miles below Fort Craig, about the 18th of ir battery across the river, which was done, and the battery was planted upon the bank. As soon as the battery opened Gen. Sibley knew it had crossed and immediately ordered a general charge, which was done as Texans only can do it. Starting at a d

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 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 batteri

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 ttween 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

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 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.
