She had no troops on Board ‘The passage up the lake was very pleasant, and, short- ly after nightfall, having arrived at a convenient distance from Fass Mauchac, up which we were to proceed to make ® dash on Ponchatouia oa the followiug morning, we came to an anchor in ten feet water, to await the ising of the moon, by the light of which it was deter- . Mined to attempt the passage of the bar. An the meantime the Ceres had swod further out to- ‘wards the opposite shore of the lake, and, having cast off She Fancy, stood in towards the Pass, which her light @raugbt evabied ber toenter. Passing up a narrow Stream adont tour miles, it was found that there was no room jor her to turn around in, in order to get back, till a Uttie bayou was seen a short distance ahead. Into this her stern was backed, in order to enable her to round to; but she got stuck fast in the mud, both by the bow and the stern, in which predicament she remained for ome tme, while rebel sigual rockets were even in the air. She was, however, eventually extricated, and re turned back to the lake, after having captured all the boats that could be found, to prevent informa- tion being gven to the rebels of the presence f @ Uvion force On the rising of the moon the anchor of the New Lon- don was weighed, and an attempt was made to cross the Dar aod enter the Pass.

At about three @ clock ou Sunday moraimg 1 was aroused from sleep by & stentorian voice sbuuting ‘All hands to quarter ‘To put on bevts, hat and coat was the work of afew mo- ments, and on gaining the poop deck I found a nuniber of woldiere ready Ww act as sharpshooters if necessa:s , with ans cocked and brought to the “ ready.’ g my eyes astern, an object was seen fast approaching, iocking most uncomfortably like a ram—a sort of customer that would have been somewhat unpleasant to meet with at that particular moment, seeing that we were aground, The supposed ram, too, seemed disposed to stick most viciously to our stern, so as to give us no chance to bring our brouuside gums or (he riled tickier on che fovecastie Wo beur oo him. | xXpectation was wound up to the high est pitch, when Captuiu Keid diseovered that the suspi- eto.s lo.king stranger was only our little friend, the Bancy. she ran alongside, when, having delivered a eommunicution from Major Strong to Captain Reid, and feceived sn auawer, she returned to rejoin the Ceres. Shortiy after day tight the Cores made her appearance, ‘@nd returned down the lake, followed by the New Loudon, which waited for the Fancy, which was ordered to anchor fm 4 couvement place. She was subsequently seut back wo the Honchactrain landing the New London and the Cores cruised about the lake all day, out of sight of the rebels, wit the inteution of making another atternpt to (ross the bar at night. Accordingly, after nightfall, Cap- tain Reid sent the pilot of the New Loudun with a lantern, fm oue of the boats, to place it in a position to show the @banvel. The pikt, om his ;eturn, reported that he had fastened it to a stump. He added, however, that there was ‘bess than seven feet of water over tue bar, which would reader it difficult, if not impossible, for the gunbout to over. The Ceres, guided by the light, got over safely, ver and anchored at the mouth of the Pass for the Bight, Ca tain Reid was determined to endeavor to get ‘ever, too; but the vessel struck in eight feet of water, and, @il endesvors having iaied to carry her across, the at- tempt was abandoned as a bad job. New London was ‘Backed out and anchored in deeper water, Next morning, @t day ight, the Qveres proceeded up’ Pass Manchac, amd we soon lost sight of her. Another ineffec- tual attempt was made to follow, and we had fe anchor once more. In fact, the wind had been unfavorable or a tide on Sunday,and it had freshened during the night, blowing the water back from ‘tho Pass. and reducing the depth over the bar to fiveand ae hal; feet. All unis time it would seem that the rebels were per- fectly aware of our iutentions towards them, though they did not know precisely where the landing was to be ef- feciwed. How they obtained their information is bard to imagine; but certain it is they had o battery of feild pieccs al a place opposite Mandeville, with which to give he Union troops a warm reception. ‘The landing, how- ever, was not effected there. ‘Throughout the whole day great anxiety was manifest e4 06 bourd the New London with respect to the fate of the men on board the Cores, and speculations were rife as wo whether (hey would make «lamding without their somrades on the gunboat, and in the absence of the morhl und physical sifect of ber guns.

Another cbanuel would have taken’ them to the Page, ou the port hand, both passes terminating in La Mere au. About eleven miles from the entrance to Paseo Manchac the Ceres stopped at a place where the ‘Union trooys bad burned @ bridge some mouths ago Here @ landing was effected, and Company C, Captain Thorn. fon, and Company F, Captain Farrington, of the Twelfth Maine regiment, wore thrown forward, followed by Com. ¥ 1, Twenty-sixth Massachusetts, aud Company 1, Ifih Maine.

The rebels poured in in overwhelming numbvrs, accompanied by a full battery of fleld pieces. ‘There was no withstanding this, and our force had to re- treat over the djfticult trestle work, closely pursued by the rebels. Sv determined were our men, however, that, although the rebels were on a pl:tform car, they (rebeis) dared not run them down, as they might have done, a8 they were kept at bay by a galluwg fire from the rear of the Unionists. I ought to mention here that Company I, of the Twenty-sixth diassachusetts, and Company D, of the twelfth Maine, had come up, and covered the retreat of their comrades of the two companies that had been in the fight. It was a fortunate hing fiat ‘some portions of the track had been torn up by the Union troops on a for- ‘mer occasion. Were it not for this the rebels might really have run down the retreating Uniouists. As it was, they followed them up as fur as they dared, tiring from the platiorm car, but being kept in check by the brave boys from Maine and New Hampshire ull the train arrived ata place wrere it was impossibie to pro- ceed further, Cannon was then held in requisition, and the whole line of railroad was raked fore aud att—the He.

In fact, ibe entire legs on the part of our ‘men may be said to have occurred at the entrance to Pouchatoula. Only one man was killed in this last uifir. Our troops, however, did not retire without duing something. They burned a train of cars, conuuning a large quantity of sugar and molasses. While these things were yoing on intelligence was con- veyed to Licut. Commanding Buchanan, lately in command of tke New London, and who was on board the Ceres, that the whole force sent to Ponchatoula had been cut up. In fact, the whole affair was exaggerated. Capt. Buchan- au, however, started with about thirty men, who had been held as a reserve, and after crossing the dificult trestle work be found that things were not quite so bad as hid been represented. He and his men were able to do yeoman’s wervice in conveying the wounded and weary to the vessel, and they nobly did it. Sodid some eight contrabands, who did all in their power to convey the poor felluws tothe Ceres. In fact, were it not for them, exhausted as our own men were, it ishard to say how ali could have been got safely on board. As hanging would have been the mildest lot of the friendly negroes, in the event of their being left be- hind, they were, of course, brought along. The heat all along the road was most oppressive, and two men bad a etruke of the sun—one of them so bad that he died raving mad soon aiter he got on board the Ceres. ‘The other man is in a fair way of recovery. So ditficult was the way, and such was the trouble of taking the wounded on board, that torches had to be lit alter nightfall, and by their light the Ceres was reached. On the way several men tell through the trestle work. Among them was Captain Buchauan, who seriously in- jured bis teg; but he is in a fair way of recovery. Among the wounded was a man who had the fleshy part of his leg, near the knee, torn away by a piece of a shell. uked the whole way from Ponchatoula to where t es was, however, to she surprise and adini- ration of all who saw bim. Our loss iu kiied, wounded and missing is estimated at about forty; for itreally seems that there is no authori- tative estimate of the actual numbers. In fact it is dif- ficult Lo tell how many men were ia action. I had been Jed to believe that twenty-five meu «mong the wounded were on board the Ceres; but the surgeon of the New London, who attended to them, told me to-lay that they do not number more than a ‘dozen. Ergo—more meh than Ithought are in rebel hands. Among those I regret to Say are Captain Thornton and the surgeon ac- companying the expedition, Dr. Avery. Among the wounded is Lieutenant Chase, of Company F, Twelith Maine Volunteers. The whole oi this affair has been most disastrous. There seems to have been mismanagement somewhe: With whom the responsibility rests 1 will not presume Say. it seems to me, however, that a landing ought not to have bee. effected without the assistance that the guns of the New Loudon might have afforded. Failing this co-operation, it would bave been better to have abandoned the expedition fora time. ‘rue, the New London could not have thrown her shot as far as Ponchatoula; but the moral effect of her being on band would have counted for something, while the two compavies she ou board would have bad a physical eifect still better. Again, the piace of landing was ilichusen, Had the Ceres gone thro gh the North Pass to La Menepau, and landed at Tickpau, eighteen miles to the west, the troops could hive been lauded at a piace, with a good road, ouly nine miles from Pouchatoula, whence they could ‘have reached the tora athe rear, burned the bridge leading to Comp Moore and bagged the three companies that gave thom fight, > 1" t all the hardships and disasters en- counterei ve ue trestle work.

Serr. 20, 1862. Flags of truce are becoming as thick as ‘leaves in Vallambrosa,”’ They all, as far as I tearn, have reference to an exchange of prisoners. One came in yester- day. Among the officers accompanying it were Major Squiers and Captain F. W. Blount. They stayed at the City Hotel, and seemed two have the freedom of the city accorded to them, as they attracted much notice by their gay uniforms. These gentlemen say there are several mapufactories in Rich- moud whore a good specimen of gray cloth is made, such as they wore. They left for Ponchatoula this morning, under a flag of truce. Among the officers accompanying them was Lieutenant A. F. Puffer, one of General Butler's staf. I must bere be allowed to make an interpolation. Since writing the foregoing I have had an interview with an officer of the Ponchatoula expedition. He says a locomo. tive went on to the town on the troops landing, and gave notice of their approach. S80 close were our troops to the engine that an attempt was made to shoot the engineer and fireman, but without effect. Thue notified of the ap. proach of the Union forces, the rebeis were ready to ro- ceive them with three Arkansas companies and a com- y made up from residents im the neighborhood.

On Thursday night Colonel Andrew Jaekson Hamilton, of Texas, delivered agood Union speech in the Lyceum, City Hall. The s; ‘was too jong even for a synopsis, for it lasted upwards of three hours, and I will not inflict even the chief points on the readers of the Hxrap, al- though | took pretty full notes. Suffice it to say that the Colonel took the ground that loyalty in Texas outaum- bers secesh, and does not overpower tt only because the traitor Twiggs did hia work too well, surrendering his troops, with all their arms and amrmunitions; and, when the people woke up to the reality of their position, they were surraunded on all sides by armed traitors, before whom they were powerless. Such was a representation of the case of the whole Union. Colonel Hamilton—who is @ rather large sized specimen of humanity, bronzed by the Southern sun and hard work, and an awkward customer in a fight, to judge by ‘ppoarances—was loudly cheered throughout the delivery of his speech, cept when the audience wero busy laughing at his quaint concetta.

His ition now is just this:—If he takes the oath of all which he is willing to do—that ‘moment the rebel acthorities confiscate his coon, to the amount of some $80,000. If, on the other hand, he does not take the oath by the 23d, his property in New Or- leans, which is very large, will be conflacated to the United States government.

PoRTLAxD, Me., Sept, 27, 1862. It appears from authentic official statements that Maine has filled her entire quotas under both calls for three hun- dred thousand men. Her quota under the first was seven thousand, and all the men have been in the field for four weeks past. Under the last call for drafted men, Maine hag nine thousand six hundred meu ready, all raised by volun- teering, and they have all been in the camps at Portland, Augusta and Bangor since the 16th instant. They are all ready to move the moment they are uniformed and equipped. Prior to these contributions Maine had sent over eighteen thousand men, and, including the four thou- sand scamep she has givento the navy, she bas raised forty thousand men for the Union. The total population of Maine is six hundred and twenty-eight thousand. She ‘claims the proud pre-eminence of being the banner State in raising volunteers. She sends no drafted men to the war.

Mr. Foors, of Tenn., [of the rebel House of Ropresen- tatives.—Ep. Hexaxp.| offered the following joint resolu tion, proposing to send a commissioacr or commissioners to Washington city, empowered to propose terms of just and houorable peace:— Resolved, By Songress of the Confederate States of America, that the signal success with which Divine Provi- dence has so continuously blessed our arms for several monihs past, would fully justity the Confederate govern- ment in’ despateiing @ Commissioner or commissioners to the government at Washington city, empowered to propose. the terms of @ just and honorable peace, Mr. Foor, oh offering this proposition, observed that he did not intend to occupy the attention of the House more than a few minutes, preliminary to the motion which he uid presentiy make, to refer the resolution under consideration to the Committee on Foreign Affairs; a committee, I beg leave to say, continued Mr. Foote, with tho exception of its chair- min, eminently qualified to deal with this grave and inte- resting matter iu a calm, considerate and signally advan- tageous manner. Sir, I haye but little hope that our insolent and cruel foe will listen to this proposition favor. ably. I have but little confidence, I confess, sir, in the wisdom and sagacity, the statesmanship or the true man- liness of spirit, of Mr. Lincoln and his deluded cabinet counsellors. I am not unaware that these personages have been disgracefully driven forward continually, from the first shedding of blood in the affair of Fort Sumter up to the present moment, by @ numerous and active body of infuriated fanatics and unscrupulous demagogues, until they have almost reached the depths of utter hopelessuess and ruin. I am not at all confident that the weak apd vacillating executive chief in Washington city has adequate moral courage to receive our commissioner, should we conclude to send one, even were the sufferings of our Northern enemies far greater than those which they have already experienced, though suimulated, as to some extent they must necessarily be, by the apprehension of tbe far greater sufferings with which they are now s0 obviously menaced. But, sir, to these considerations I # tach but little importance. I wiil eudeavor to state my view of the subject in a very con. cise manner, as, according to the rules of the House, I can occupy its attention only for a few minutes. The enemy will either refuse our proposal of peace, or, per- chance, even refuse to receive our commissioner; or they will be courteously received. Certamiy it is hardly to be hoped that our proposal of peace will be re- spectfully considered and agreed to. In the latter case a most bloody and desolating war will be brought to a close; our own beloved country will be relieved from the experience of present suilerings, and be, perchance, saved from greatly multiplied sutterings hereafter. If a just and honorable peace be madly refused us, then upon ‘the heads of our heartiess adversaries will be accumu- lated all the responsibility connected with those evils which may be hereatter inflicted upon the general inte- rests of the civilized world; the oceans of blood which may be hereafter shed, and all the immeasurable horrors which must inevitably result from a war conducted us it bas been heretofore onducted by our heart- lees enemies, in utter disregard of all the weil known principles of civilized war. We cannot, in any state of things which can be possibly con- coived of, be at all injured by the pursuing of the line of policy suggested in the resolution. Our brave armies in the field will not feel less inclined to prosecute the war with energy and resolution because their government munifests @ disposition to save them from the necessity of incurring further hardships, and shows a disposition to restore ther once more to the blessings of peace, of do- mestic happiness, and of social beatitude. On the con- trary, I shall confidently expect the exhibition of astill sterner resolution, ® still flercer military zea!, and still more glorious xchievements, when they shall ihus find it demonstrated to them that there is no possibility of peace with our persecutors save by resorting, in a spirit of just retaliation, to those ter- rible expedients which may be calculated to im- pross upon their own obdurate hearts the intense consci- ‘entiousuees of those horrors of which they have been the sole originators. If our proposition should be de- clined, and there be any good men yet left in the North, friends to justice, to the laws of Christian humanity, aud the general bappluong of the world, they wiil at’once make their presonce known, organize and embody their energies against an insolent and barbarous government, drive Lincoln and his myrmidons from power, and ele- vate to the seats of official authority wise and upright statesmen, through whose cfticient instrumentality this sapguivary struggle may be at last brought to a termina- tion. Sir, it is not even possible that our motives or objects in taking the initiative ia the noble work of pacificativn cau be misunderstood either by the enemy or by the rest of the civilized nations of the world. We are thus far completely victorious in the war. Ia all tho numerous battles which bave been fought we have been most sig- nally successful. We have driven,or are now driving, the Vaunting hosts of the North beyond our confines, and our victorious standards are now being planted upon the territory of the foc. Such a succession of brilliant and decisive triumphs has nev retofore adorned the page of our history. Our successes have been ackuowl- edged, in the most emphatic manner even m ‘columns of the Northern — newspapers. In sheer magnanimity. we are bound to offer terms of peace to the enemy. With us alone can a pro- ition of peace originate without the deepest dis- enor. Ifthe war is not to be interminable (and who desires this?) the first movement towards a settlement of existing difficulties must be made by one of the par- ties contestaut; andes the enemy cannot be expected, under existing circumstances, to send to us a proposition for the termination of hostilities, it results that the civilized world has right to look to us for such ac- tion as the resolution proposes. Mr. Speaker, I know well that I shall be denounced in certai quarters for my pre- sent conduct. 1 shall be probably charged with excessive moderation, and, perchance, even of pusillanimity. I shall not be at ail surprieed if all who are specially interested in the con- tinuance of the war resort even to rid- cule and denunciation. To this I am pre- pared to submit, confiding as I do in the general good pense and elevated moral sentiment of my honored countrymen, and being perfectly persuaded that this resolution, if it should be fated to rejection, will awaken @ responsivo echo in the bosoma of good and wise men elsewhere, which will more than compensate for present ae and undeserved obloquy. Mr. Wr.cox asked if we had not effective commissioners oe im the persons of Generals Lee and Stonewall Mr. Foors admitted their effectiveness, but their ser vices were required in the field, where they were now Prosecuting the war with energy, and he did not desire to have their attention distracted by other matters.
