THE EVENING STAR, THE LATEST sere | SF READING MATTER ON BVERY PAGE. BXE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- @AarHIC AND OTHER MATTER. “WASHINGTON OITY:” IJUESDAY.. -«JANUARY 13, 1863. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESt. ‘The Intelligencer nctices the mare's nest of the Bichmond Enqwirer, which paper felicitates the Confede with the notion thai France and Spain will inter‘ere with the working of the Fresident’s emancipation policy in Louisiana @ad Florida, because it will conflict with dhe terms of the treaties under which that trritury was ceded to the United States, and which treaties stipulated that the inhabitants 01 thd ceded tertitory shall be protected in the free e‘ijoyment of their property, privileges, im- munities, Ac The Intelligencer suggests that befurr the Emperor of France or the Queen of Spain could consistently raise this question under’ the terms of the treaty ceding Louisiana and llorida to the United States, there is an earlic* question which the Enquirer has over- Jooke:+ It is whether, in pursuagce of the terms jof these treatirs, the French and the Span Governments might not feel them- Selver;bound in honor to guarantee to the Uni- ted S'Rtes, as faras possible, the undisputed porsestion of the territories respectively ceded to the Federal Government. .These territories ‘were ded to the United States, not to the Con- Federal States. ‘The fhronicle has an elaborate article in ex- Position and defence of retary Chase's pro- posed Bnancia! measures, and warn: capitalists and binkers that they cannot oppose them and fhope to survive the general wreck that will inevitably efisue if ourGovernment be not sus- @ained. ———+<+2e--____ Tur Grant Anmy.—This army, much of ‘which was expected to co-operate with Sher- mu8n in the attack on Vicksburg, seems to have gone forward only to go back. The latest intelligence, via Cairo, leaves us in doubt as to what disposition will be next Maadé of it, but favors the impression that G@nother advarce is not immediutely te be made. The rebels threatened to interfere with Grant's base at Memphis, and so, the alterna- tive being either to go back, and keep open his communications in the rear, or to go forward, end run the risk of starvation, or being sur- rounded by the enemy, he cautiously chose the former. . It was expected that Grant would help Sherman by seizing the railroad leading from Jackson to Vicksburg, but that expectation turns out tohaye been a “delusion,” if not a “snare.” &7 The election to Congress from the Seveath ‘Virginia Congressional District takes plaze on ‘Thursday next, the 15th inst. Several candi- dates are in the field, but the prominent ones @re Lewis McKenzie, Esq:, and Chauncey H- Ss w, Esq.

FROM VICKSBURG. ae INTERESTING ACCOUNT_OF THE RECENT ; OPERATIONS THERE, Secrest ae STORMING OF THE ENEMY’S WORKS. —— eee ALL FEDERAL OFFICERS CAPTURED TO BE ; SHOT IN RETALIATION FOR THE EMAN- | CIPATION PROCLAMATION. SS St eae THE SIEGE OF VICKSEURG NOT YET ABAN- j DONED | —— Cairo, Jan. 1!.—The special correspondent ofthe New York World arrived here to-day, | having left the battle-field on the -Yazvo river on the 4th, 2nd coming up the river with the fleet of transports irom the scene of operations. The bombardment of Haine’s Bluff took plice | on the 27th of December, and # severe skirmish on the 28th, in which the enemy was driven — intobis worke. On the 29th preparations were | made by General Sherman fora generalassault. | The brigades of Generals Bivir, De Course, | Thayer, ard ——, were selected to stormthe enemy's works. On Mordey a most furious cannonading opened on both cides, lasting until the gfier- noon, and doing feariul execution ou both sides, At ltoclock a chaize was made amidst astorm.of shells and bullets from ali sides. The rebel defences censisted of slouzhs, abatt's, earthworks, and- rifle pits, covering the road through which our troops were compelled to advance. Brigadier General Blair took the lead, and advanced with a most furious charge to the highest tier of intrenchments, whers he was met by an overwhelming force of rebels, and, after «a band-to-hand conflict of nearly two hours, in which the loss was most disastrous, he was compelled to fall back for want of proper and timely support from the right and Teserves. The carnage was fearful, each foot of ground Was contested, ineh by inch, with determined resistance. General Blair was conspicuous, braving danger, urging his men, and cheering them to hold out until they should be relieved: but their bravery was of no avail. The enemy far outnumbered the assaulting force, and could meet ovr troops under cover of their earthworks and their well planted and well aimed batteries of shell and canister. The total loss in the engagement was 1,500 killed snd wounded, including 50v prisoner-. No general officers were killed. Had the. sup- port been promptly sent forward, the storming party would have maintained t@ir position easily and captured the entire fortifications. At nightfall our forces retired without m: leetation to the position previously occupird. On January 1, General Sherman sent a flag of truce, asking leave to bury our dead which Was granted. The scene on the field was ghastly to behold. The bodies of the dead had been eutirely strip- ped, and robbed of every aricle of clothing and boote and shoes. During the continuation of the flag of truce, the rebels state that Port Hudson had been at- tacked by General Banks’ expedition, and the rebels had driven them off. The rebels also declared that all the officers falling into their hands would be shot, ana the soldiers taken would be compelled to labor on their fortifications, in retaliatién of President Lincoln's proclamation ° On January 2d, Steele’s division was to have attacked Harper's Bluff, but the purpose was frustrated by a dense fog which hung over the river all day. On the 3d, the position was abandoned, and our troops re-embarked on boats, the rebels firing upon us while departing, but the gan- boats opened. upon them, and they scattered pre cipitately. The retrograde movement was decided upon on account of our receiving no information of Gen. Banks’ co-operation, and in fear of danger from above. There is great indignation felt at Shorman’s evident mi ement, and he has been su- perseded McClernend, who is assuming command of the forces. The siege of Vicksburg has been by no means abandoned. The city is yet to be taken, but the resent force of the rebels, known to be at least OFFICIAL. DrrartMent oF Strats, t Wasuixcrox, Jan. tz, :363.

I reached Culpeper Court Honse early on the morning of the Sth of August, where I found Ricketts’ division and Crawford's brigade of Bsnks’, which latter had been for some days in occupation of that place, By 10 or 11 o'clock on the morning of the 8th, it became clear that the enemy bad crossed the Rapidan in heavy force, and Was advancing both on Culpeper and Madison Court Houses. My who-e force at that time numbered about 30,000, it having been considered by the authorities in Washington not judicious to remove King's di- viiion from Fredericksburg. My instructiens required me also to be very careful not to allow the cuemy to interpose between myself and Fredericksburg, to which point the forces from the Peninsula were to be brought. During the Sth of Augart, or at least during the earlier part of that day, if was uncertain whether the main | force of the enemy was marching on Sperry. ville or Culpeper. But in either case I consid- ered it proper to concentrate my forces in the | direction of Culpeper, in order constantly to be | interposed between the enemy and the lower ise With facility, accuracy and fire quality of tune.

SHINN (Sucorssor GPS ook & SarNs,) Manufacturer of fords of the Rappahannock. T accordingly sent orders to Banks to mere forward to Culpeper Court-House, and to Sigel to move forward to the same piace with all spevd. Banks arrived at Culpeper in due sea- ton, but to my surprise I received 8 note from Gen. Sigel, dated at Sperryville at about hair- past one p.m. acknowledging the receipt of my order, and asking me by what road he should come to Culpeper. As there was bat one road, and that a broad stone pike that led directly from Sperry ville to Culpeper, I was at a loss to know how Gen. Sigel could entertain any doubt on the subject. This delayed Sigel’s corps’ arrival at Culpeper some hours. When the reports begun to come in from Gen. Bayard that the enemy was advancing on him, and that his cavalry was forced to retire, iI advanced Crawford's brigade, of Banks’ corps, to obserye.the enemy and support Bayard in holding the enemy in check, and to determine his torce and movements as far as possible. Ricketts’ division was on the same day moved to a peint two and a half to three miles south of Culpeper, and near the place where the road from Madison Court House to Cul- Peper comes into the road from Barnett’s Ferd to Culpeper. Early in the morning of the Sth I received information from Buford, at Madison Court Honse, that the enemy was on his right and left, and partly in his rear, and that he was retreating towards Sperry ville. On the morning of the 9th I pushed Banks forward with his corps to join a brigade which had gone forward the day previous. Banks was instructed by me to move his corps to the position occupied by that brigade, and to take up & etrong posilion where to check the enemy 6 edvance. - ~ It was in @ personal interview at my head- quarters, at Culpeper, that I told Gen. Danks that ifthe enemy advanced to attack him, he should push his skirmishers well to the front, . Bad notify me immediately; it being my wish to gain all the time possible to concentrate our forces at Culpeper. Gen. Banks’ corps at that time, from his consolidated report, was 12,000 infantry and artillery fit for daty; and this I understood to be the strength of his corps when he was pushed to the front. ‘Three miles/in the rear of the position I ex- pected himto occupy was Rickett's division. Desultory artillery firing was kept up all day on the 9th, during which time I received & number of reports from in none of which did he consider that the enemy was in any great force in frontof him. In one of his notes, dated at 3 o’clock, he mentioned that the enemy was displaying his cavalry ostenta- tiously, but he-had seen no force of infantry, and did not believe they meant to attack. The last note I received trom Banks was dated about Sp. m. He spoke then of skirmish- ers approaching each other, but did not indi. cate that he expected any engagement, or ask for assistance. Before I received this note the artillery firing} had become se rapid and con- tinuous that I feared ageneral engagement was going on, or might be brought on atany moment. I therefore instructed Gen. McDowell to push forward Rick@tt’s division as rapidly gs possi- bie t8 the field, and went forward myseif with it, leaving behind me, in Culpeper, the whole corps of Sigel, with orders to push forward as soon as possible to the field. Gen. McDowell was im no wise responsible for being thus con- nected with these movements; but im all re. spects carried cut thy instructions faithfully and zealously. Question, Was not Gen. McDowell person. ally at your beadquarters that night? Answer. He was. Question. What was Gen, McDowell's con- duct at the battle of Cedar mountain, when un- der your notice? Answer. He was under my immediate obser- vation pear the conclusion of the battle, whea he put bis troops into action on Banks’ right. His conduct throughout was gallant aad ef. ficient. I accompanied the third army corps on the 23d, or the 22d, 234, and 2ith. My head. quarters were with Gen. McDowell part of the day on the 25th. The dispositions of his berps were made by my orde € 02 those days, aad under my immediate obser vation. Question. From the time of your leaving ua- til McDowell left were the orders he gave net reported to you and approved! certain ones te me, I cannot say all. Question. Did or did not Gea. MeDewell ca fll in regard to Sige! be ought at Waterieot Answer. He did. We commenced the move. ment to Sulphur Springs on the 23d—it was on information that large forces of the enemy hag crossed the Rappahannock at Waterloo. The river having rieen siz or eight feet on the night of the 22d, so as to destroy fords, I purposed to throw my whele force rapidly mpon whatever forces of the enemy were on the north side of the river, heping to be abie on account of high water, to crush them before they could recrosg I immediately informed Gen. Sigei of this, that I was sure there was no enemy betweea him and Waterloo. I did mot, therefore, con. sider it necessary to push MeDowell’s corps ip that direction. Soon as the advance of Sige) Teached Waterloo, Gen. Buford took post with all his cavsiry on the right, and picketed ie tiver for several mfles abore Warrenton, I make thisexplanation toshow why McDowell's corps Was nut advanced to Waterlov Bridze on ihe 24th. Gen. Sigel commanded tie lef’, and was in- siructed to push forward to Waterloo bridge, following the course of the river, 1 told him I Would push forward McDowell's corys per Warrenton to join him if necessary pear Water- loo bridge; but om the 2ith 1 had sent a strong Tecconhoissance forward to Waterloo bridge per Warrenton under Br ford, and be reporied To me on the afternoon of the 2ith that there was no enemy on the north side of the river, aad that he had fired the bridge at Waterioo. Question. Were net the communications fre. quent and full when you were at Warrenton Junction; did not Gen. McDowell purpose to send his whole force to Salem; -was it not are. cotoistance 7 Yer, to the first pert—communication fay. No such suggestion was ever made to me by Gen. McDowell. I myself sent hin: instrag. tions to push forward &@ cavalry reconnvissancs to Sak m or White Plains. Question. Did Gen. Sigel report t you be. tween 2 and 3 p. m., the 234 August. Answer. He did by letter. TELEGRAPHIC, —————— THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.
