The following has been received at the Navy Department: FLAGsHIr GLAscow, N&w ORLEANS, Apri 24, 1665.—Hen. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Novy:—Sir: I have the honor to inform the Department that the rebel ram Webb ran the blockade of the Red river this morning, and passed this city at a high rate of speed, but so unexpected was her appearance that she re- ceived only two shots through her huii in passing. As she approached the city she was fiying the U.S. flag at half mast, and was mistaken for an army transport. The Hollyhbock, Lieut. Com’d'g Gherardi; the Florida, Acting. Vol. Lieut. om. W.Buad; the Quaker City, Lieut. Oom. Spicer, and the Ossipee, Com. Le Roy, were despatched in pursuit of the ram, the Hollyhock far ahaad, and when about twenty-five miles below the city she encountered the Richmond, Uaptain Theo. P. Green, coming up. The ram then headed in to the left bank of the river, ran on shore, and was seton fire iy her commander, who proved to be Edward G. Reed, formerly of the U.S. Navy. Her crew consisted of about forty-five men, and her cargo was cotton, rosin and turpen- ume, 80 that she soon blew up, the crew es- caping to the swamps, except three, two of whom were captured, and are prisoners. The third was destroyed with the vessel. Her armament consists of three guns. The whole party will probably be captured by troops who wiil forthwith be dispatched in pursuit of them. As the ram passed the city she had @ torpedo suspended from aspar from her bow. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, ANDREW JOHNSON. N. K. Taatcuer, Acting Kear Admirai, Commanding West (iulf Squadron. FROM CITY POINT, Arrival ef Ex-Governor Aiken. The mail boat City Point, Captain Tatbot, arrived here this morning with the Richmond and Uity Point mails, and & large number of army officers. The steamship Arago arrived at Fortress Monroe yesterday afternoon from Port Royal, S:C., having on board Ex-Governor Aiken, of South Carolina, and Lamar, of blockade-run- ning notoriety, who were arrested at Charles- ton on the 26th ult. Governor Aiken and Mr. Lamar were brought up on the Oity Point boat, in charge of Generat Jeffries, nnaccom- panied by any guard. The Governor is vener- able-looking, his hair flowing in long gray ringlets, and he wears a heavy white beard. He was dressed in a light gray summer suit, ‘with light-colored slouch hat, and was accom- panied by his daughter. Mr. Lamar was also accompanied by one or two ladies. The pris- oners had but little baggage with them, and vpon Slighting from the boat théy were imme- diately placed in a hack and driven away. The 6th and other corps of the army of the Potomac have broken camp, and are now on the march to Washington, where they will shortly be joined by a large portion of General Sherman’s army. lt was expected at Fortress Monroe that General Sherman and staff would arrive there to-day in a special boat, and immediately pro- ceed to this city. Major Genera! Humphreys, Brigadier Gen- eral Prince, Colonel Markland, special agent ot the Post Office Department, and Senator Stockton, came up on the City Point as pas- sengers.

Sergeant Richard Ohapman and Private William Read, company K, 32d Virginia in- fantry, Confederate army, were thoroughly examined and cross-examined yesterday before the court. a Two paroled rebel soldiers were examined, and testified that Harris had at his residence given them money, and advised them not to regard their parole, and to continne their hos- tility to the Government. ; Mr. Harris objected to their testimony upon the ground that they were guilty of treason, and therefore being enemies of the country could not testify against a citizen. The Judge Advocate then propesed to prove by the neighbors of Mr. Harris that he himself was disloyal, and, with the witnesses, a mu- tualenemy of the United States, and, conse- quently, not privileged to make exception to their testimony. < Mr. Harris proceeden to discuss the point raised, claiming that treason only was men- tiened in the Constitution, that disloyalty was not defined by law, and as a sentiment not punishable. The Court notified him that he shonld put his objections in writing, and after some hesi- tation he stated that he would resume his ob- jection. p This morning the Court met, Geni. Foster presiding. and all the members present. Mr. Harris 1s attended by his brether, and on being brought in sent for Mr. James M. Carlisie, to act as his counsel.
