TUESDAY, APRIL 29,1563.
to“ The House has passed the anti-po
lygamy hill, including a repeal of the Utah
territorial laws on that subject.
C§yThe portion of the speech of Hon.
S. Colfax 'which -we publish this morning,
will richly repay perusal. It is on the
question of the confiscation of the property
of the leaders of the rebellion. We have
not seen the subject so plainly or pointedly
presented hy any member of Congress in
so few words. It appeals to every man’s
judgment and challenges his approbation,
if he be actuated by a sense of justice and
patriotism. Congress must not adjourn
until some confiscation act is passed. The
people expect it, and the necessities of the
nation demand it
CST* Our dispatches this morning an
nounce that Gen. Fremont's forces are ia
possession, of Staunton, which is an im
portant town in the very heart of Vir
ginia. Fremont’s column is pouring
over the mountains from Western. Vir
ginia to aid General Banks* Divi
sion to drive the rebels southward. Since
the troops under Banks, McDowell and
Fremont are no longer held hack hy Gen.
McClellan,they are showing what they can
do. .Every day’s report chronicles a fur
ther advance into Seccssia. The Stars and
Stripes now float over more than half of
the Old Dominion, and the work of subju
gation goes bravely on. While the rebels
are. holding the strip of land between the
York and James rivers against the grand
army under McClellan, the combined forces
of McDowell, Banks and Fremont may .
march upon and seize Richmond. We
can see nothing to prevent it. Banks is
near Gordonsvillc with at least 25,000 men.
•McDowell is on the south side of the Rap
pahannock, and Fremont is at Staunton,
a couple of days march from Banks ’ col
umn, at the head of 10,000 or more men.
Here is a force of 60,000 and upwards
pressing forward on the capital of Jcff
dom, and where is the enemy that is able
to resist or repulse them ? Should Rich-
mondbe taken, the rebels at Yorktown
will quickly get a fire in their rear ”
leaving them to “ skedaddle ” or surrender.
Tbicgs arc working down in Ofd Virginia.
WAS IT A SURPRISE ?
General Giant hae become extremely sensitive
on the subject ef the late battle—eo much so that
he ordered the arrest of two or three Colonels and
■Captains for paying that onr army was surprised
by Beauregard. —Pitteburg letter Cincinnati Com*

patience of the idea passes all surprise.
NEW ORLEANS TAKEN.

the oInCT end of the Mississippi. The ro

the fleet up to the 12th inst.,

els have given us the sequel of the more- J

days for the report of our officers, the delay |

sre railroad charges of SSOO. The authorities
in this city are also in possession of similar

1 discoveries here have not yet transpired, we
; forbear going Into particulars, except to say
that the evidence is positive that a- grand
; thieving combination Has been in successful
; operation for many months, and it is very
; evident that the country and the soldiers have
i been defrauded out of a vast amount, and
1 that a large portion of the contributions of
the benevolent societies throughout the
country have served no other purpose than to
fill the pockets of certain individuals, without
ever reaching the. soldiers for whom they
were Intended. ' '• v
These discoveries Indicate that it has been
customary for certain persons, In some way
connected with the hospitals, to steal what
ever property they desired, both from among
the Government stores and the contributions
olthe Aid Societies of the country, and dis
pose of it as they wished, Thu facts thus
brought to light are evidences of the general
system in which matters arc conducted In
connection with the Government stores.. The
officers of-the Government will take Immedi
ate cognizance of the matter, and warrants
will be Issued for the. arrest of any person
having any «&d every connection, with the
a flair. Further developments ot persons in
high position may be immediately expected.:

Where it is Waiting to Go.
The correspondent of the fit Loads J&puh- \
writing from tie headquarters of Gem ;
Curttß* army, at Forsyth, Mo., on the 19lh '
inst., eaye: ;
The entire army is remoring & short dis- •
taace from this place, where something can
be bad toward the support of the army.' The ;
tendency Is eastward. Gen. Baris’ division i
is encamped on the Springfield road, about
15 miles north; Gen. Asbolh’s division, 4
miles east of the Springfield road on Swan
Creek; Gen. Carr’s division was, till yester- ;
daT on Bear Creek, but has moved east- (
ward; and Gen. Ostcrbans’ division is •
to day moving out from this miserable town, :
first to the north and then in an easterly
direction. What the final movement is to
be no one knows. A few days ago we ;
heard that Price, with a of his
army was at Jacksonport on the White river, |
about eighty miles south of this point, in Ar
kansas. It turns out that only some rebel
cavalry were there. Price hss gone to join
Beauregard, to aid if possible, in arcst
ing the procress of our arms down the
Mississippi river. There is probably noth
ing left in Arkansas but roving bands of
rebel jayhawk*rr. The people -oi Arkansas,
our conunamiiiig General thinks, are more
friendly to us tnan those of Southwest Mis
souri, and there is less persecution of Union
men. It now appears more and more proba
ble that we are only waiting for the possess
ion of the Mississippi, as tar south as fbw
mouth of the Arkansas, to make a forward
movement, and thenceforth occupy that State,
and receive our supplies from Bt. Louis by
water..

GEN. MITCHEL’S OPERATIONS.
How Colonel Turchm Took Tns
enmbia,
[Correspondence St. Louis Democrat, £Bth.]
iVefound Tuscumbia occupied by a portion
of Gen. Hitchers division, under command
of acting Brigadier General tbe Colo
nel of ibe Nineteenth liliaeis regiment from
Chicago. The Colonel is a dashing go-ahead
officer, and with his equally dashing and go
ahead command is holding an extremely pre
carious situation in the heart of the enemy’s
country. He is, however, vigilant and wide
awake, and if the rebels get any advantage of
him, they will have to get up very early In the
morning.
It has already been announced that Gen.
Mitch el was holding one hundred and eight
miles of the Memphis and Charleston Rail
road, but there are veiy few, unless cognizant
of the position, who arc aware of the dashing
character of such a movement. Gen. Mitch*
el first moved on Huntsville, one of the prin
cipal towns of Northern Alabama, and so
rapid were his movements that he completely
surprised the inhabitants, to say nothing
of several rebel officers who were qui
etly luxuriating in the place. Here he
captured fifteen locomotives and suffi
cient rolling stock to move a large army.
Not waiting for the intelligence of his ar
rival to spread abroad, Gen. >l. immediately
sent out portions of his division by the rail
; road on either side of him—one to the east,
to take possession of the read as far as Ste
venson, where it is intersected by the Nash
ville and Chattanooga Railroad, and another
; to the west as far as Decatur, where it con
nected with the Decatur and Nashville road.
The command of the latter expedition was
entrusted to Gen- Tnrchin. His command ar
rived at Decatur just in the very nick of time
to save the fine railroad bridge which crosses
the Tennessee here. "Tt had' been be
smeared with pitch, tar and cotton, the
torch had already been applied to it,
but the troops rushing on to it from the
train, with the aid of their blankets and |
the contents of their canteens, succeeded 1
in quenching the flames before any damage of ;
consequence had been done. A'regiment of
rebels had thrown up extensive cotton forti
fications on the westerly side, bat on the ap
proach of the Federate they beat a most
I speedy retreat, leaving their baggage, teats,
• and even their hot dinners behind them. The
| greater portioh of the chivalry did not even
I take the time to saddle their horses, but leav
i ing their saddles behind, went off bare back.
1 In the hands of a determined baud of men,
I the fortifications could have been held with
! considerable success against our forces. They
' had four small forts and a long line of breast
{ works, all constructed of cotton, and well ar
• ranged. There were about 800-balca of the
i cotton, which, of course, fell into our hands.
A further advance toward the West having
been left discretionary with Gen. Turchin, of
course he went on. The rebels fleeing from
Decatur, had destroyed or partially destroyed
allthe bridges to the west of Decatur, but
this proved s slight obstacle to the Genera 1 .
With an excellent engineer corps he repaired
them (six in all,) almost as soon as they had
been incapacitated, and he pressed on until
he had reached Tuscumbiaj when he had
communication by water with Gen. Halleck
at Pittsburg, fifty or- sixty miles below.
Since he has been here he has not
been idle. The country roundabout has
been scoured far and near, and several impor
tant captures made. In one of these expedi
tions he penetrated as far South as Russel
ville, where he found a quantity of rebel
property. At La Grange a military institu
tion was discovered, with a valuable chemical
labralory, and its professor, an officer with
the rank* of Major. Near by, in a cave, still
another haul of rebel uniforms, shoes, &c.,
was made. At Florence, four miles above
Tuscumbia, on the other side of the river, a
tun-pound field piece was discovered, and so
all around.
The railroad from Stevenson to Tuscumbia
is now in good running condition, and is all
held by our forces. But one bridge on the
line is down. This one, fourteen miles east
of Tuscumbia, over Town Creek, will be re
paired as soon as the water falls sufficiently
to allow work upon it. At present they arc
obliged to re-ship here, ana send troops and
stores over the pike bridge, a little distance
above. When the sews of the Federal ap
proach reached Tuscumbia, the inhabitants
as they supposed, most effectually demolished
the only engine there; but, Yankee like, the
mechanics of Gen. Tiirchin’a force put the
machine together again, and it now an
swers very well to rnn out to the destroyed
bridge. To be sure but one side of it works,
but so long as the other does, it does not make,
much difference. At the bridge they connect
with a good engine, and trains are now run
with more or less regularity over the entire
road. Gen. Mitchel etUi haft-his headquar
ters at Huntsville. Some other Yankee tricks
which Gen. Mitchel has perpetrated Jfor the
Soee of humbugging the Southern com
fcnsion are rather Tunny, but it is hardly
lime aa yet to disclose them. The skill and
, energy displayed by Gen- Mitchel in the oc
; cnpancy and holding of his extended line, cn
-1 titles him to no small share of consideration.

[To the Associated Press.}
Washington, April 23,—Mr. Arnold, from,
the Commute on Boads and Canals, has re
ported in fayor of the hill for the enlargment
of the Illinois and Michigan Canal. The re- |
port states that - the work has been more i
than half completed by the State of !
Illinois hating expended oter six million
dollars thereon. The Committee has been
in operation since 1848, and now yields an an
nual revenue of about $3,000,000, This will
he greatly increased hy the enlargement of
the Illinois river, as proposed. The State of
Illinois offers this canal and its revenue to the
United States on condition that Congress will.
provide the means of enlarging it so as to
pass gunboats from the lakes to the Missis
sippi. This will place us on an equality with
Greatßritaln, that power being able by her
canals to pass war vessels from the ocean to
the lakes. The report, in view of the fact that
by treaty the United States are prohibited from,
building or constructing armed vessels on
the lakes, urges the necessity and importance -
of the immediate enlargement of this canal,
by which the gunboat fleet on the Mississippi
could be passed through to the.Lakes. Had
this medium of connection been, opened at
the beginning of the rebellion, tbe 1,300 ves
sels and 15,000 sailors, now shut op on the
Lakes, would have been at tbe disposal of
the Government. The saving to the Treas
ury during the past year would
have been vastly more than the cost of the
contemplated work. : The Committee believe
its income will more than pay the Interest on
it s cost, and that it will ultimately pay the en
tire investment, •.

THE SIEGE OF FORT PILLOW.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Caibo, April 38.
The steamer Estella has just arrived from
Pittsburg Landing, but brings no later Intel
ligence from Gen. Halleck’s army. She con
firms reports previously received of a prob
able advance and battle to-day.
The rebel cavalry have appeared in consid
erable force upon the river about 20 miles be
low Savannah, near Clifton, and one of our
gunboats had been sent down the river to
watch their movements.
All boats leaving this point for above have
brass pieces upon their bows and one upon
each side, besides an armed guard upon the
hurricane deck, to repsl any attempt of guer-
rillas to fire into the boat.
The steamer “B” arrived from Fort Pil
low at two o’clock this morning. There had
teen no material change in the 'affairs at the
fleet. There was some occasional firing by
the mortars, and some occasional reply by the
enemy’s batteries. It is probable that the
intelligence of the fall of New Orleans, which
was last evening sent by steamer to Commo
dore Foot, may hasten matters below and put
a period to the hitherto cautions policy of
the flag officer.
The “B ” brought to Cairo six refugees
from Memphis, from which city they departed
one week ago yesterday. They had secured,
through the connivance of a Union merchant,
their passports to Humbolt, but instead of
going in that direction they procured a skiff
and crossed the Mississippi to the Arkansas
shore, about six miles below Randolph, and
taking to the swamp and bottom lands,
which are here overflowed for an la-
They towed back
mense distance.
6 miles or more from the river and after se-
rere trials and suffering reached Oscoela.
From here they rowed tothe fleet and reported
to Commodore Foote. They say a majority
of the people in Menphis are Union, but
are compelled to advocate secession sen
timents to preserve their propery. There are
several secret Union societies, who assist
their members to emigrate, and arc pledge d
to aid in the re-establishment of Federal au
thority. Five men are'known to be on their
way North by the same route taken by these.
Gens. Trice and Van Dorn recently passed
through Memphis on their way to Cor
inth, leaving abont 6030 troops to overawe the
city and enforce the conscription act. Jeff
Thompson is in Memphis and has his quarters
at the Gayonso House. There are five thou
sand bales of cotton, seven thousand hogs
heads of sugar and twenty thousand barrels
of molasses now lying upon the levee at Mem
phis, of which the cotton will be burnt, and
the sugar aqfl. molasses rolled into the river,
on the approach of the Federal forces. Citi
zens and newspapers arc opposed to burning
the city, but the soldiers and country people
favor it.
The Memphis Argus is considered the expo-
nent of the Union sentiment,and is not allowed
telegraxihic despatches. The Safety Commit-
tee talk of suppressing it.
The Legislature passed the militia law with
out a quorum. The more violent of the reb
els in the country consider Memphis a “Union
hole,” and threaten to wipe it out.
On 'Wednesday succeeding the battle of
Pittsburg, Gen. Prentiss and twenty-three
hundred and eighty-sbc Union prisoners pass
ed through Memphis. The men were In good,
spirits, and kindly treated by the inhabitants,
particularly the Irish and German women.
Citizens contented themselves with waving
handkerchiefs and looking the interest they
dare not openly express. Prentiss made a
Union speech to his men, and the citizens
cheered him. Provost Marshal L. D. McKla
sock bade him remain silent. Prentiss told
him be had four to one more friends in Mem
phis than he (McKlssock), and said to the
citizens, “ Keep quiet for a few weeks, and
you will have an opportunity to cheer the old
flag to your hearts' content.” Our. soldiers
sang the Star Spangled Banner, Red, White
and Blue, Happy Land of Canaan, and Old
John Brown, as they were starting on the
cars for,Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where they are 1
at present confined. There were one hundred
and fourteen Union officers among the pris
oners. Beauregard claims to have taken three
thousand prisoners.
The Memphis & Ohio, Memphis <Sc Charles
: ton, and Mississippi & Tennessee railroads
are connected by a union track to givegreatcr
facility for moving rolling stock and provi
sions in case ot Federal attack. All old iron
and braes was being collected and forwarded
below. The citizens think Fort Pillow will
be taken by the flotilla, bet the soldiers and
newspapers consider it impregnable.
The Confederate loss, all told, at Pittsburg,
was about 4,000 —1,000 wounded are in Mem
phis, Government machinery, commissary
and Quartermaster's stores are removed.
It is thought that the fate of the Confeder
acy hangs upon the Corinth battle. If beaten
they have no resource left but the organisa
tion of guerrilla bands and predatory war
fare.
Four deserters from Fort Pillow arrived at
the flotilla Sunday morning, and reported
twenty-five more in opposite. A
tug was sent for them. They say the Confed
erate army at the fort is greatly demoralized,
whole companies refusing to do ordinary mil
itary duty. Large numbers of soldiers are in
irons; their term of enlistment had expired,
and their officers wished to compel them to
serve two years longer. At the fort one man
had hcen killed and a dozen wounded by the
explosion of our shells.
The river is rising rapidly—two inches
within the last ten hours. It seems now im
possible to avert the great calamity.
A dispatch was received. this morning from
Pittsburg, dated Sunday evening. Up to that
hour there had been no fighting.
There was a prospect yesterday of a conflict
between the civil and military authorities,
upon the eternal nigger question. The United
States Marshal of this District claimed the
right to take a contraband captured at Fort
Donelson and now employed by the Govern
ment and return him to his master, who is
sald to be a loyal Missourian. The Provost
Marshal resisted, and demanded his authority.
For a time there was a prospect of a scrim
mage, but the promptness of the Provost Mar
shal prevented it, and the U. S. Marshal aban
doned the claim.
We have in the army of the Tennessee one
hundred and sixty-six thousand efficient men.
This was the consolidated morning report of
