In the course of Saturday afternoon, how- lestition to th he made his headq’ ever, there were two sharpskirmishes between | the portions of the Federal divisions and the contederate cavalry and infantry scattered about in the woods. There are no means of estimating their numbers. So far as we can learn, none of the Federal soldie1s were killed or wounded, There was nothing like a gen- eral engagement, and mo fighting on land after Saturday atternoon. The confederate force towards evening re- tired to Port Hudson. Reconnoissances were made in the direction of Port Hudson, along the Bayou Sara road, and towards the Ross and Springfield Landings. After the skirmishes on Saturday evening the Federal forces remained on the field, near the Springfield road crossing, all night. At ten o'clock Sunday morning, General Augur’s division commence the return march to Baton Rouge. Grovyer’s and Emery’s divisions fel- lowed, leaving a distance of five miles between each of the three divisions, Atter the arrival of the three divisions from Baton Rouge and skirmishes on Saturday afternoon, Farragut'’s fleet, which was at an- chor five or six miles below Port Hudson, pre- pared to pass the batteries. The signal for the advance was made at half-past nine o’clock on a beantiful starlight night. The Hartford, with the Albatross alongside, took the lead, and both seccessfully passed the batteries. The Richmond and Tennessee followed. The Richmond was exposed to the fire ot all the batteries and received a shot through the steam-drum which obliged her to fall back out of range of the batteries. She dropped down the river and anchored. Her loss was three men killed and seven wounded. ‘The Monongahela and Kinco went up next in. ée> Captain McKinstry of the Mononga- hela standing on the bridge whenit was shotaway from under him and he was very seriously injured. ‘The loss on the Monongahela was seven men killed and twenty-one wounded The Kinco wes "nder a severe fire ; her riggiag was badly ent, ad her rudder-post shot away. A hawser entangled about her propellor, became unman- ageable, aud she was obliged to drop back out ot fire. The Menongahela also fell back out of range. The side-wheel gunboat Genesee, somewhat damaged, also fell back. The amount of damages on board this boat is not known hereat present. The Mississippi went up last, and grounded on the bank in a position which placed her nearly in the centre of the entire range ofshore batteries, which extended nearly three and ahalf miles.

Twenty-tive or thirty men were killed, and four wounded. The ship was perfectly ricdled with shot, and there was no prospect ot hereyer floating again. So at last Captain Smih gave an order for her abandonment. During all the time the Mississippi was under fire there was no particular excitementaboard. Orders were quietly given aud executed.

Six mortar vessels opened in the afternoon, while General Banks, with his force, was to make a simul- taneous attack on the land side. At 10.30 on Saturday night we were all moving up in line of battle to the batteries, the Hartford leading, haying the little Albatross inade fast to her port side.

Gen. Rose- <, however, is fully prepared for any such cra | emergency, and there need be no anxiety as to the ultimate result.

I: is certain, on the other hand, that Longstreet is the General who is to manage the impending rebel invasion of Kentucky, Richmond papers recently mentioned that Longstreet had passe i through that city with his entire command, and, while compelled to withbold the destination ot their force, they indulged in the predic that Longstreet and his veteran soldiers w soon be heard from, In confirmation of the suppesition that Longstreet was en route to in- vade Kentucky, the Atlanta Intelligencer of the 2th publishes this significant statement: «Rumor says that Rosecrans hassent 2 large force to prevent Longstreet’s advance throngh Kentucky.” It is unquestionably the rebel programme to transfer the seat of war, if pos- sible, to Kentucky and Tennessee, aud it is possible that the final decisive battles of the war will be fought in these States, The re! itis believed, will aggregate here all the o1 they can spare, even thongh it be at the expense of other posts. an commune in one of the departments of France, &# Thovrette, formerly unproductive now appears like an immense orchard, 2s (2) parish priest, now nearly eighty years of aze, has for thirty years insisted that the parents of eyery child he baptized should plant some kind of a fruit tree. 82” A sterling Democrat in one of the north- ern towns of New Hampshire was rece asked how he should yote. «I shail vote,” said he, “the ticket that will least please Jem, Davis.” a7 The German baker who killed one of his workmen at Chicago some time since for acci- dentally spoiling a lot of bread, was shot dead while attempting toescape from the penitentiary on Thursday last. aa In one connty in Marylind there are seyen hundred acres of Strawberries, and two persons inthat State have each one hundred and twenty acres, and three others one hundred acres each in Strawberry fields. ga The Oshkosh Courier says :—« A bridal party crossing the river on the ice atGreen Bay on Tuesday, the horses broke through, andt wo of the women were drowned.
