ficient to assure a* that great disasters have
overtaken our armies in Virginia, under
Gen. Lee. The extent of these disasters
cannot yet bo estimated with' any confi-
dence. Our information is altogether from
TunW sources. There is not only the
ets*jwa|ion which is natural even. whsre
falsehood is not designed, but the exagger-
atiopwhiah ha been a part of their system
throughout the war, not to admit defeats;
and always to magnify Victories ; and for

the strongest motive at the present time.
They willssek by the most extravagant ao-
eount of their suooesses, and of our losses
to spread dismay and demorattaatioa
throaghout our entire oountry, so astto re-
move their difleUlties of our oonquest and
subjugation. Whilst, therefore, we have
felt it our duty, as public journalists, to
give the dispatches to our readers as

'The State of Texas, through which for
the moat part 1 have been travelling, has
not only not felt the ill effects of the war,
but has even prospered by it. The enemy
attempted an invasion of it at two points,
but was beaten at both, and driven back
with disaster, and has not sinoe renewed
the attempt: nor is he likely to do so during
the remainder of the war, as he is concen-
trating all his forces for the campaigns in
Virginia and Georgia, having vainly im-
agined that if he could capture Atlanta and
Richmond the war would be at an end; the
fact, being that sven Richmond is of no
more importance to as than any other fron-
tier town..
Yau pill see this, when I tell you that
we are hot now dependent, as we trere in
the beginning of the war, upon two of
three points (of whioh Richmond was one)
for the promotion of arms and other ma-
terials of war, but that these necessary
articles are produced ajl oyer the oouhtry,
and that the production of them is annual-
ly increasing. The State of Texas alone,
has within ner limits all the materials,
and is feet getting the apptianoes for
equipping and maintaining armies, and
when you reflect that she has three times
as much territory as the empire of Franee,
and that countless herds of horses and
beef cauls wander over her boundless
prairies, you oan well imagine with what
contempt this warlike people regard the
insane threat of subjugation. It our ar-
mies were driven to-morrow, acroe/s the
Mississippi river, we could still fight the
enemy for a century to come, in Texas
alone. So dismiss aU yonr' fears my
friend. Our independence is an accom-
plished fact. let the,war continue as long
as the Yankees please, and with what
varying results it may.

The Richmond Enquirer, of March 27th,
says the situation in North Carolina be-
comes more and more interesting. With
hie .army soaroely organised, Qen. John-
ston has been able to resist the advance of
the enemy from the time he left Cape Fear
river. On three several occasions he has
given Sherman several lessons la t&e art
of war; while at Kiaston he was ho lees
severely punished by Gen. Bragg. The
battle of Bentonville was a triumph to our
arms. On the 20th the entmy was en-
trenohed, and no fighting ooourred.
On the 21st there was heavy skirmish-
ing and some severe fighting, in whioh the
enemy were badly handled. That night
he moved off. Gen. Johnston maintains
hie position, and will be ready to meet the
enemy at all pointe.
The Carolinian, of the 88d, says: On
the 21st, Gen. Johnston again attacked
Sherman in front and oa the flank, aqd
after a severe battle, drove him in oonfu-
sien from the field, capturing a large num-
ber of prisoners and maay pieces ef ar-

injured so far as ascertained. Our forces
are rapidly accumulating for the defense of
the city. The alarm has subsided.

To Major General Dix:
General Grant telegraphs to the War
Department as follows:
Last night Gen. Sheridan was on the Dan-
ville railroad, South of Amelia Court
House, and seat word to Gen. Meade, who
was with the 2d and 3d corpe, by what is
known m the river road, that if troopB
oould be got in time, he was in hope of
capturing and dispersing the whole of
Lee's army. I am moving with the left
wing oommanded by Gen. Ord direct for
the Burkville road, ana will be to-night at
or near Burkville. I have had no commu-
nication with Sherman or Meade to-day,
but hope to hear that they have oome up
and Captured and brokeu up the balance
of the army ef Northern Virginia. In
every direotioh we hear of men of that
army going home with arms in their handsL
Sheridan reports Lee at Amelia Court
House at 10 o'olook to-day.

Aiken's Landing, Va., 11:30 a. m., April
5th,—To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of
War.—Little is known at City Point, there
are bait few officers left, and these are over-
whelmed with work. Lee telegraphed to
Davis at 3c30 Sunday, that he Was driven
back, and must evacuate, this was announc-
ed ia churoh. Davis had sold his furniture
at auction, and was ready to leave. All
the leading men got away that evening.
The rebel iron-clads were exploded, and the
Virginia lies sunk in the James river, above
tiie obstructions. Ewell Bet the city oh fire.
All the business portion of the city from
Main street to the river was destroyed
Bridges across the river were also destioy-
ed. Many families remain.. Mrs. Lee re-
mains at Petersburg.
The public stores were burned and a
few houses caught fire, but not much
damage done to the oiry. I will report
fully from Richmond as soon as I can get
a dear idea of our loes.
The only General killed, is Winthrop
Potter. He Is dangerously wounded in

To M^jor Gen'l Dix;
The following details relating to the
oaptnre of Riohmond, and its oeoupatiott
by our foroes, have been telegraphed to
this Department from that oity.
E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
Gen. Weitzel learned at 3 o'clock on
Monday morning that Richmond was being
evacuated at daylight. He moved forward,
first taking care to give Us men breakfast
in expeectation that they might have to
fight. He met ne opposition, and on en-
tering the city was greeted with a hearty
welcome from the people. Tha mayor went
out to meet him, and to surrender the city,
but missed him on the road. Gen. Wietzell
finds mush suffering among the people.
Rich as well as the poor are destitute of
food. He is about to issue supplies to all
who take the oath. The inhabitants now
number 20,000, half of whom are officers.
It Is not true that Jeff Davis sold his fur-
niture before leaving. It is all in his house
where I am now. He left at 7 P. M., by
the Danville R. R. All the members of
Congress escaped.
Hunter bas gone Lome, Carson Smith
went with the enemy, Judge Campbell re
mained here. Gen. Weitsel took here ten
thousand prisoners, beeides the wounded,
which number five thousand in nine hos-
pitals. I captured cannon to the number
of five hundred pieoes; five thousand guns
have been found in one iot. Thirty loco-
motives and thirty cars were taken here.
Ths Petersburg R. R. bridge is totally de-
stroyed, that of the Danville road partial-
ly. The oonneetlon with Petersburg can
be made. All the vessels are destroyed
except an unfinished ram which had her
machinery unharmed.
The Tredegar Works are unharmed, and
the machinery to-day under Gen. Weitzell's
orders. Liboy Prison and Castle Thunder
have also escaped the fire, and are filled
with rebel prisoners of war. Most of the
editors fled, and especially John Mitchell.
The Whig appeared yesterday as a Union
paper with tne name of the former propri-
etor at its head. The theatre opens here to-
night. Gen. Weitzell describes the recep-
tion of the President, yesterday, as enthu-
siastic.
Washington, April 5th.— From the mail
boat Dictator, which left City Point, Mon-
day at 10 o'clock, the Star contained the
following among other items. Our gun-
boats have removed up James river, and
are now engaged removing the obstructions.
Gen. Weitzel, upon entering the city, was
directed by Gen. Grant not to permit any
one to leave the city, or permit any one to
enter who was not connected with the
army, or had authority to do so.
The rebels fired Petersburg in several
Slaces before evacuating the town, but the
res were speedily extinguished. Over a
thousand prisoners were received at City
Point, and othere are constantly arriving.
In feet, there are so many prisoners that a
sufficient number of troops could not be
spared to guard them, consequently one de-
tachment of sailors and marines were taken
from the gunboats and placed in charge of
them.
The entire number of prisoners cap-
tured up to yesterday, was eatimated at
18,000 by well informed officers. Our
wounded are being sent to City Point as
rapidly as possible. The Dictator brought
up sev.>n hundred rebel deserters, who
desire to take the oath of allegiance.

M%j. Gen. Dix:
Gen Sheridan attacked and routed Lee's
army, capturing Gen'ls Ewell, Kershaw,
Button, Corse and many other general
officers, teveral thousand prisoners, a large
number of cannon, and expects to force
Lee to surrender all of his army. Details

April 6.—To Lt. Gen. Grant:—I have
the honor to report that the enemy made
a stand at the intersection of the Burk-
ville read with the road they were retreat -
ing on. I attacked them with two divis-
ions of the sixth corps and routed them
handsomely, making a connection with
the cavalry. I am still pushing on both
infantry and oavairy. Up to the present
time we have Button, Course, Delany and
Custiss Lee ; several thousand prisoners,
14 pieces of artillery, caisons, and a lat ge
number of wagons. If the thing is pres-
sed I think Lee will surrender.

dered. This is positive.

Cairo, April 7th.—Information has just
reached this place that Forrest has cap-
tured Eastport, With all its garrison. We
did not learn the extent of our own loss
either in ammunition or men.
From Mobile Register of ths 5th:
We suppose that it is useless to conceal
the fact that a raiding party of the enemy
dashed into Selma before our forces could
be concentrated to prevent it.
The loss is nothing but the Government
works at thai plaoe. From deserters,
Capt. Eaton, of the Bignal corps, learns
that Montgomery has fallen into the ene-
my's hands, probably the same party that
oaptured Selma.
Hd. Qes., Abut in the Field, \
April 7th. / .
Mobile papers of this morning admit the
whipping of Johnston by Sherman, and the
loss of ten thousand men. Sherman is now
marching through Virginia.
Shreveport, April 17th.—The Times has
nine columns of dispatches, but I feel so
used .up that I cannot forward any more of
such stuff to-day. CONSCRIPT.
From the above, it will be seen that the
boastful Yankee Generals claim a great
viotory over Lee, and the capture of sev-
eral thousand prisoners and fourteen can-
non ! An obscure Western paper even
g> h so far as to receive a dispatch at
mi^-night that Lee and his whole army is
captured! It is a wonder that the War
Bussard had not gone a step further and
taken Johnston and his army and gobbled
up the balance of the Confederacy, in-
eluding the little negroes, at one mouth-
ful.
The New Orleans Times with its wonted
eagerness at jumping at a sensation, does
go so far as to say, that the Mobile papers
" admit" that Johnston has lost 10,000 men.
Now, according to our best judgment,
sharpened by some experience in sifting
dispatches of this character, the whole truth
of the above is simply that Lee is retreat-
ing, and has met with a reverse, by no
means serious on the enemy's own showing,
losing a small part of his artillery.
As for Johnston's reported loss there is
not a word of truth in it. The raid on in-
terior Alabama lias done some damage, for
which Forrest is paying the Yankees back
in their own coin ut Eastport, and we shall
yet hear of Uncle Robert and old Jo. John^A
ston in good time, and on the right Bide. <
Wo publish the above that the publio
may know all the news that has been re-
ceived.—Ed. Tel.]
Ed. Tel.—In your Tri Weekly of the 7th
inst., is a communication from his Excel-
lency, Gov. Murrah, suggesting the great
necessity existing for the introduction of
wool and cotton carding machines into our
State. .
No argument is necessary to show that it
is a most vital necessity, that some imme-
diate plan should be Bet on foot to accom-
plish forthwith this most laudable object,
and as the Governor says, he would be glad
to receive some suggestions on the subject, .
I will respectfully submit for his consider-
ation the following, believing them to be
expeditious and practicable:
If the Governor will recommend by pub-
lic manifesto, that he will approve of the
county courts of each oounty in the State
appropriating as much of the county tax as
will be necessary to purchase and put into
operation, one wool and one cotton carding
machine, and 6ne spinning machine, each
county conld soon procure cotton sufficient
for this purpose, and also, wagons, mules,
and an agent to drive this cotton to Mata-
moros to some responsible merchant there,
that may be named by the Governor with
directions to hold the proceeds ot the cotton
thus delivered and sold, to be applied to they,
payment of the required machinery upon its *
arrival, giving preference to the dounty
first having funds there.
In anticipation of the fands thus to be
plaoed in Matamoros, orders by the Gov-
ernor might at once be sent out by tbe
steam blookade runners to some one or two
responsible merchants in Havana, propos-
ing to them a clear profit of one hundred
per cent, if they will forthwith order from
England or Franoa, a certain number of
these machines, say fifty of each, deliver-
ed in Matamoros. As a guide to :he Coun-
ty Courts, an approximation to the origi^l ,
nal cost of each pair of the required ma-
chinery should be known, whioh informa-
tion the Govemor might procure from
iluntsville, or elsewhere, and inform the
County Courts accordingly. After the war,
the machinery could be sold and the pro-
ceeds returned to the counties.
In order to facilitate a transaction of this
nature, permits should be procured for the
free exportation of the requisite number of
bales from each county, to make payment
for the machinery thus to be introduced.
I would further suggest that in order to
hasten the operation, that the merchants
undertaking this contract be instructed not
to forward more than from three to five of
each piece by any one vessel, and to ship
them as rapidly as possible. This or sonte ^
similar plan will, in a few months, make us
independent of foreign importations for the
fabrics, and give employment to men not
liable to military duty. CITIZEN.

Wharton'l Cavalry Corps, 7
eear Hempstead, April 13. j
Ed. Tel.—Our cavalry corps having been
stripped, razeed and re-organized, we are
now ready for active operations; but the
untimely death of our gallant leader, Gen.
Wharton, has left us without a chief—a
loss almost irreparable. Our conjecture
now is, where are we to find another Whar-
ton'' We turn to our list of General offi-
cers, and make an effort to investigate
their merits. We can only take a general
view, not being sufficiently familiar wit^ ,
each one to make a detailed and thorough
investigation; and, in fact, that is neither
our duty or desire, for as true soldiers, we
willingly and confidently submit to the
orders of superior officers, well knowing I
the ability ana capacity of our commanding
officers to make the most judicious disposal '
of us. '
However, in turning over this list of
General officers, we find that Brigadier
General H. P. Bee stands prominently as
one likely to be our commander. He is
ranked by only two Brigadiers in this de-
partment, and as neither of them are likely
to take the field, we think it highly pro-
bable that the command will devolve on
him. At all events, we sincerely hope it
may.
It is true Gen. Bee has been abused be-
fore the public, most unjustly and foully
slandered; and who by? Not honorable
men, for honest men could not be charged
with slander, but by venemous backbiting i
jackals, who can only bring themselves into I
notice by barking at the reflection of their
own shadows, when they come in contact
with " lights" above their sphere; but all
they have said and done, when summed up
amounts to an insignificant bundle of fabri-
cations, that is naturally sunk by its own
weight of spurioasness in the littleness c:
nothing. Gen. Bee is a quiet, unassuming.
unostentatious man, of a mild, frank, affa-
ble disposition, agreeable manners, and a
thorough BOldier in deportment. In hujtybe
soldier finds one who can be approached by
the humblest private, where he will always
find a ready ear and a generous heart to
listen to and redress his wrongs, if such be
the oase, if not and the complaints prove
groundless, keen perspicuity and a superior
knowledge, of human nature soon makes it
palpable, and the dissenter will find, that be
who was so willing to redress his wrongs-
will be equally as prompt in a stern reproof-
I am satisfied that Gen. Bee has the entire
confidence of the corps, and as one of tbe .
corps, I feel authorised in expressing a hope
in behalf of it, that he may he assigned to
the responsible and weighty duty of '
ing us against the enemies of our coumT-
as we deem him fully capacitated for tbe
responsibility; and, if we do not find in him .
a Wharton, we feel confident that we will i
find a "Bee," of original prowess and skill ]
as a gentleman and soldier, that will be tbt
pride of his army and the glory of his
adopted State (Texas), and one who will
never falter in leading us on to victory an-
fame. REBEL BOY.
