ir.g, April 1^0-J.?Sir.- I have the honor to
report that ou the tilth inst., while cruising
down tLe river ahead of Gen. F.!lett?s Heet I
met :he steamer F.mrna Duncan, Acting Master
Griswold commanding, comiue up to report
his ve s 1 tor duty. Learning ihat he had been
sitae'-fei by a held battery at Green Bottom
Il.ir, and had tliree i^ien badly wounded, I pro
ceeded on down ihe river, giving him orders io
follow me. in hopes of catching the rebels at or
near the same place.
I passed the bar about dusk in the evening,
but the enemy was nowhere to be seen. ==:- =?
Ariiving at the fort ot Green Bottom Bar
abom midnight, I anchored "til morning. Still
seeing nothiug of the euetay, I procee led on
lip the liver, to meet and commuunate with
eneral Filet. ?
Th- Emma Duncan remaining nearly a mile
in my rear, cannrlit a ferry Hat coming out cf
a creek after 1 had passed. The gtieiillas in
the flat jumped out and mads their escape in
the wootiis. The flat, however was destroyed
aud . et adrift. I cruised up leisurely, keeping
a good lookout for the enemy along the rijrht
bank, but saw no signs of them "til I arrived ai
Dark Fi\tr shoals, when I heard musketry
ar.d artillery a short distance (not a mile)
aaead. I pushed on over the bar, and mot
Gen. F.Ilet's fleer just at the head of the shoals,
c-rtgagir.g the rebel battery. I was then in
eood ranze. and at once opened fire on the e:i
eray. There was not room lor his boats to
round to or to back out ot the channel: he was
therefore compelled to push ou over the bar
before he could effect a landing.
I took the battery side and moved on np to
cover his boats as much us possible, at the same
time raking the bank with our heavy guns.
Th? ram Monarch by this time came in range
ar.d opened J*re also.
A? soon us 1 rounded the point the enemy
fired a farewell shot at one of the brigade boats,
timbered up and were off. Some few sharp
shooters', remaining behind, fired a few shots
at a transport havingon board sick and wonnd
ed. I followed on up the bank, thro win a: shells
alter them till I thought them out of range and
ceased firing. By this time Gen. Ellet had
landed and was pursuing them.
Several of the enemy were found dead on the
bank, and many more were dragged oil in the
?woods. I should suppose that their loss in
killed and wounded is about 25 or *v>.
1 believe General Ellet lost two - lied and
won: ded on his boats: also some horses kdled
About i p. m. I left Gen. Ellet at the foot ot
the bar. and proceeded on up the river, with
this boa* and the Emma Duncan, to commu
nicate v iih the fleet above. I arrived at F.ast
port :t the afternoon oi the 27th inst., received
a communication from Gen. Dodge, at Tus

return with th- largest vessels to the mouth of
the Red river. I dropped down to the Forts
DeTir*5vin the Benton, and undertook to de
stroy those work^. I only succeeded, however,
in effectually destroying the three heavy case

water battery for two guns, about GOO yards be

heavy 32-pounder and some gun carriages left

on a hill some VOo yards Irom the wet -r, I was
unable to attend to. It is quite an extensive
work, quite new and incomplete, but built with
-nuch labor and pains. It will take two or

powder to spare to blow it up. The vessels

Caiko, May SO?An arrival lrom below this
p. m. brills information which would render
improbable the report that Vicksburg is evac
uated. The impression is that meat of the in
fantry have left, but that artillery remain and
will hold it till they are overpowered. Being
few in numbers it will be difficult to starve them
out, still with Fiege gnn=? they will be able to
iv.ake vigorous resistance to aay attempt that
may be wade to storm the works.

Our gunboats have ascended the lied River
from Alexandria.
The ateamer Price succeeded in breaking the
rebel rait lotse, and it iioated out of the way.
while our boats proceeded up the river to Har

that point for two hours, without taking effect.

Yazoo.
Cincisxati, May 22.?Information received
here lroia Gen. Grant's headquarters, at Ray
mond, Miss., shows that it was liis intention to
destroy all the bridges. After the capture of
Jackson he ceased communication with Grand
Gulf, in consequence of heavy escorts of troops
being neceaaarv lor such service. The army
was provided with rations for eight days.
From Jackson, Gen. Grant was to proceed
to Haines' Hlull and secure a number of trans
ports belonging to the rebels, and prevent their
etcape up theYtfzoo.
Pemberton is thought to be in front of Grant,
and Johnson is supposed to have brought but
five thousand troops with him. It is generally
supposed a p;rcat battle would be fought before
Vicksburg surrendered.
The bridge o\er the Big Mack had not been
destroyed, but it is guarded by five thousand
men, with instructions to destroy it if they
should be compelled to leave. Three miles of
railroad, near Jackson, were torn up when our
lorces entered that city. ?

"Folly Island, which we now hold, runs (
along the coast ofStono Inlet north, and is only j

the aid of the gunboats, we can shell thi-m oh* j

coming impatient, dashed alone and unsup
ported into the midst of the enemy's camp,
putting :i iorce of 1,000 ca\alry to flight.
Light rebels were killed and ninety taken
prisoners. Two hundred horses were cap

T?T The Rebel papers publish a rumor, said
to have come via Pascagoula irom New Or
leans, that the Hartford had been burned by
AdmiralFarragntaiu-rhaving been "stopped,"
by Rebel batteries we presume is meant, at
sume point not stated. We attach no credence
to the report. The only Rebel batteries capa
ble of "stopping'' the Hartford are those at
Port Hudson. Had she been bnrnt there the
Rebels would have had direct intelligence of
ihe fact. A probable explanation is that the ar
rival ot Admiral Farragutat New Or lean - had
given rite to the rumor among the disloyal
then and ihat ii was carried across Lake Pon
chartarin to Pascagoula before rhe real facts
were ascertained.

T-in Froruva Slav* Cask Dts ?o*k.? o?
Pan Te'm i*or. r??This i .ornin; Mr. l>ean wfn'
to the Provost Marshal'* ortice, and alter the
boy Hall had been brought before Major Sher
burne, Mr. D. said be would ask his discharge,
and demanded for him a military protection,
and at. the ttrnw time asked whether auv writ
or proems had been served upon him (Major
S.1! by 'he civil authorities.
The Major replied that if there had he should
nor have recognized it.
' Mr. Dean then asked lor military protection,
which was handed to him: when ue began to
ask the boy questions, as: how lone he hart
v orked fjr the Government: what y>av he had
received: and where he was arrested; and also
what he wanted to do now: when the i?oy said
h* wanted to be free. While Mr. Dean was
thus addressing Hall, Marshal Lamoa came in
and took a seat, when TJeau inquired if lie had
a process. The Marshal replied that he had a
paper in hi- hard rrlattye to the case, but he
did not coiiie to sei\e it himself. He merely
came there as an officer of the court, to inform
the military authorities that Mr. Waiter s.
Cox<* had been npi>ointed by Judges Uartter,
Fisher, and Wylie, a commissioner undar th?
fugitive slave law. The warrant was directed
for service to Mr. Joseph S. Worthington, who
wa? here introduced.
Mr. Dean said he was surprised that any
appointment had been made under the Fugitive
Slave act. This matter must be brought again
to the attention of the Court.
Marshal La men suggested that obedience to
the warrant would bring the matter up on a
habeas corpus.
Mr. Dean did not see how a commissioner
could be appointed, when the slave law did
not apply to the District, and he hoped Judge
Sherburne would not reeognixe the warrant.
He (Mr. Dean* had a right to deny entirely the
right of the commissioner to issue the warrant
after the fugitive had been once released.
Mr. Laraon said he had done what he came
there for, viz: to inform the military authori
ties of the appointment of the commissioner,
and that was all he had to do with the mati'jr.
Mr. Dean then addressing Major Sherburne
as " Judge,'' and "your honor," "?fcc., demanded
that die negro be remanded to the custody of
the military guard, and there retained until
Monday at 10 o'clock, when lie would lia\ethe
ca?-e brought up again: and in I ho mean time
would find out when Mr. Coxe had been ap
pointed commissioner. But he did not want
the boy to lay in jail any longer.
Mr. Dean then lectured the boy how to act
and told him not to attempt to run away from
the soldier, and turning to Mr. Worthington,
he said the boj- was under miBtary protection
and he would allow no process. He did not
want to see again such a row as was attempted
at the City Hall yesterday.
After a short interview with Marshal Lamon,
Major S. returned and handing the warrant
back 10 Mr. Worthington, remarked, the boy
was in military custody and therelorp the war
rant eould not be recognized. He would send
the bo.v to the Contraband Camp.
Mr. Dean said that he proposed on Monday
mining to present this matter again, and if the
Court decided that the law* of IS.?.' applied to
this District, he, as a law-abiding citizen, would
surrender. He proposed to make this a te--t
case.
Mr. Dean was very much concerned lest Mr.
Worthington should attempt to arres the boy
alter he had been sent to the camp and wis
not under immediate military control. Mr.
Worthington said he would do nothing to bring
on a clash between the military and civil au
thorities.
