I hare the honor to submit la jour Excel-
lency the following report of the action which
termin&teS on the -0th inst with the surren-
render of tbeUnitcdSIatesforcescnd property
at this place ta the at mj- under my commacd :
After chastisiDg the marauding armies of
Lane and Montgomery dnviog them out of
the State and compelling them to abandon Ft.
Scott as detailed in my last report I contin-
ued my march toward this point with an army
increasing hpurly innunjbersand enlhusiusra.
Vu ILe 10th icst. just as we were about to
encamp for ILe day umileortwo wtstofRoso
Bill I learned that a delachmcnt of TeJeral
troops and Home Guards were matching from
liCxipgion to warrcnsDurg to roo ine bai.K in
that place and plunder and arrest iho citizens
cf Johnson county in cccordance with Geti'I
Fremont's proclamation and instructions. Al-
though my men were gratlf fatigued by sev-
eral day's continuous and rapid murclaog I
determined to press forward so as to surprise
the enemy jfpostib!eiu"Wiirreiieburg. Tiicre-
fcre after resting afew liourswe resumed tho
march at sunset ard marched without inter-
mission until two. o'clock in themorning when
it became evident that the iufantry very few
of whom had caton amoulbful in twenty-two
hours could march no further. I'then hilled
tbem nnd went forward with the larger part
ol my mounted men till we came about day-
breaK within view of AVarrcnsburg where I
ascertained that the enemy had hastily fled
shout midnight burning the bridges liehind
them i The rain-began jo JuUabo Jt the same
time
This circulnslance coupled with the fact that
my men tad been fasting for more than twenty-four
liours constrained me to abandon the
idea of pursuing the enemy that day. My in-
fantry and artillery having come up we en-
camped at Warrensburg whose citizens vied
with each other in feeding my almost famished
soldiers. An unusually violent stenn deleyed
our march the next morning Ml nbout 10
o'clock ; wo lbcu pushed forward rapidly stiil
hoping to overtake the enemv. Findinc it itn-
1 possible to do this with my infantry i again
oroerea a aeicenmenl ol cavalry to move lor

tinued the pursuit to within two nnd a half

the enemy were already within town and it
being late and my men fatigued by a forced
march and utterly without provisions I halt-
ed for the night.
About day-break the next morning a sharp
rkitmish took place between our pickets and
the enemy's outposts. Thi3 threatened to be-
come general. Being unwilling however to
risk a doubtful engagement when a short de-
lay would make success certaiD I fell back two
or three milts and awaited tbe arr.val of my
infantry and artillery; these havingcome up
we advanced upon the town xlnving the ene-
my's pickets until we came within a short dis-
tance of the city itself. Here the enemy made
an attempt to stand unt they were speedily
driven from everv position and forced to take
seIt(:rwlthiD their "entrenchments. We then
took position within easy range of the college

?" Wo have received New Orleans papers
oftheOlh. There has been a total failure of
crops iu France. Forty millions of dollars re
quired to mako up the deficiency. Sixty million
francs have been scut to Russia to purchase
grain.
Cotton has advanced in Liverpool penny
per ponnd for most American qualities.
The arrival of vscli is reuorted in Franco
that broke the United Slates blockade.
Liverpool paptrs say tho war in America is
especially huvtiol to L'uroPe. TLat Franco and
ogland aicand must be united on tbfc subject.
That the iron clad steamers being sent to tho
Confederate States have reference only to
American affairs and not European. That
France is sutferiog as much as England for
American cottons and that France will not tn-
gagc in war contrary to the wishes of England
but that both countries have a common inter-
est as regards American affairs.
ISf Captain Schneidera-fiue company the
Turner Rifles stationed at two of the beach
batteries have received permission to increase
their rank nd tile to 130 men. The Turners
are an honor to Houston and have earned for
themselves the C3tCKn and confidence of Gal-
veston. .

US'" Col. A. Nelson of Rosqao county who
but a fortnight ago was commissioned by
Gen. Mebert to raise a regiment of infantry for
coast defence returned hero on Saturday last
from the upper country to report that ho had
succeeded not only in raising ten companies
but that a .half dozen more had been offered ;
tnd he catno down to know what disposition
wonld be made of them. He left again onBun-
day; and his companies will be down this
week. They are for the war. Col. Nelson is
an did soldier both in regular and frontier
service; he is active cool and brave and only
asks to get his men near enough the enemy to
use the bayonet.

Tlio Naval expeditions.
On Monday 23d ult. a Federal fleet of eight
men of war with a largo number of trans-
ports sailed from Hampton Roads and went to
sea. A large force was on board.
On tho 27th ult. a steamer either tho De-
Solo or Dienvillc passed Charleston harbor
having on board a largo number of troops.
Sbo was southward bouud.
The recent largo accessions to the Federal
forces at Fort Pickcns.and arrival of a number
of transports there dtsposo Of part of this
expedition. Another one it will he remem
bered left New York on tho lflth ult.
An ofSceron the U. S. steam frigate Roanoke
writing from off Fortress Monroo on tho 17lh
ult. to the N. Y. Tribune says;
Wo nt6 under steam and sail early to-morrow
morning in company with several naval
vessels to an important point on the Southern
coast there to attempt to achieve another vic-
tory similar to that so successful at Forts flat-
tens and Clark. It will bo if I am not great-
ly mistnkeu. an imposing and terrific assault
resulting ttinmidiuolly to our gallant forces
and the gr.cd cauie they maintain. Should
victory again ptreh upou our banner it will
open to us a channel by which wo will be en-
abled to deal the tovercst blow's that secession
and its enthusiastic followers ever received.
Washington correspondence says tLe publica-
tion by the N. T. Tribune of tho programme
of tho expedition" caused the Federal depart-
nientmuch cnibatrassmentaud in snjoe instan-
ces necessitated a change in the ptdcrs issued.
The N. Y. Herald of the 25lh ult. savs:
Everybody is aware that several expeditions
of a mixed character aro being fitted out for
operations on tho Southern coest and it is
generally uhderst03dthatonoof them at least
is intended to seize and teopen to the com-
merce of the woild a leading cotton port. We
recommend our mercantile readers to keep a
very close watch on this matter. The conse
quences of a very successful landing of Union
troops-at Mobile New Orleans Savannah or
l'ensacola una tne reopening ot sucli ports to
Ihe cotton trade would be very important and
might prove ratal to operators who allowed
thcmEelvts to be taken ijv aurorisa bv events.
The first sttp of tho commanding General of
toe union lorces. on occunvincr snen a Durt as
we have mentioned would be to invite all loy-
al citizens of the South to send their cotton
thither for shipment
It Is likelr that the in-
vitrtion would do very largely accepted.
- The Richmond Enquirer of 1st inst. says:
The object of tho encniy in seeking to ob-
tain possession of Rrurnwickj oh tho Georgia
coist would B;areely be to get cotton sren if
lbe people were willing io forward it. It is
however doubtless an object of the Lincoln
covernment. as far as it can be ascertained bv
the declarations of the Northern tinners to
have a station on the Atlantic coast south of
Hampton Roads at "which their fleets could
rendezvous tako in coaI or refit generally.
Brunswick is situated about eighty miles south
of Savannah and derives all its consequence
from the possession of a capacious harbor
with sufficient depth of water for almost any
class of vof Is.
t It is potsiblo that there is much exaggera-
tion in the Northern accounts nhen they state
that 25000 troops-are aboard a fleet destined
for the South. Such a number of troops with
ammunition etmp equipage artillery horses
se. would require muct) larger means of trans-
portation than the Lincoln government has
vet been able to furnish. There is no doubt
however but that the force would prove for-
midable enough if precipitated on au unde-
fended point.
A dispatch of the 25th ult. from Washing-
ton to the N. Y. Tribune says :
Sherman's expedition to the Southern coat
will sail within three weeks at the furtherest.
Fifteen or twenty regiments will bava tLe pri-
vilege of going to Cnarleston as the principal
oEc'.TS.in tho command believe or to Mobile
or New Orleans us others conjecture. Gen.
Veil's brigade of fivo regiments now in camp
here will form a part of tho force und will go
to Fort Monroo to sail hence in a few days.
Gen. Sherman will not strike the only blow on
the seabord.

Besides these war vessel six old coal
boats were arranged as fire ship3 filled with
fat pine tar and ro3in braced apart from
each other by timbers nnd securetl together
by a chain cable making a width about
half the distance between the two shores.
These were lo be shoved down the river by
the huge tow-boat Watson and as soon as
they ncared the hostile fleet to fire them
and drive them against the blockaders
which would be the signal for a general at-
tack by our gun boats.
It was supposed the glare of tho burning
flats would relieve the Lincoln vessels from
the darkness of the night while leaving our
boats in the gloom.
The success 'of this part of the enterprise
depended on how near the flats could eetto

pecting au immediate attack- The Jay-
hawkers begun to shout "bang theml

low who pretended to be in command that
those men were under the protection of the
govcrntneut and that he must march his
men off. He said his men knew" they were
Southerners and Scceseionistsand that thoy
were determined to lake them and the arms
pud money they were taking South. I told
him lhaj. by violating a safe conduct ho wa?
liable lo be bung". 'At this moment Iho vol-
unteer Jlajor had his men paraded and
marched them up' to the hotel. I had the
carriages brought out immediately ad load
ed the volunteers being drawn up in front
to keep back the r-rowd. I then brpngbt
Meyer Harlan and Vapce and told thecom-
mandiiig officer I wanted a company of cav-
alry to' eScort them out of town to which he'
assented. I mounted a led horse belonging
to Meyer and told the Major I would go
along with tbcra to sechis orders were car-
ried oat. So wo marched off from Fort
Scott. How to cet rid of the escort was
now a auestion of some difficulty. After
goingsome five ormsmilcs the captain s?id
ho thought e had' gone far enough. I
told hirn I would like to tako ten men and
go on a little further and he nnd the rest of
his troop could- return. As he had been
ordered to obey my directions he agreed to
this without hesitation. With tho ton men
we pressed forward as fast as possible for
about ten milesj when I called a halt and
told the officerin command thnt they might
return. He asked me if I was riot going
back with them. 1 said no. At mis iney
bad some talk among themselves but seeing
how well wo were armed the four of uii
having sixty-five shots without loading
ihev turned back. I do not know what
they thought of inc. After thoy left us we
went on as fast as possible for the rest of the
day and nearly all night Until we passed
the Kansas line and were in the Cherokee
country. We proceeded w ithout any fur-
ther difficulty untiTwcgot to North York
town on tho Canadian river. Ye reached
there just at dart nnd foon after about two
hundred Creek Indians rode into town.
They tuld us we were their prisoners. We
asked -what for? The captain said nil lie
could teH us was that he had been ordered
to lake us a party of four men in two car-
riagei with a led horse and bring na to the
agency of the Creeks. As there was no pos-
sible rcmc-dy wexonsented to go. A guard
was placed over us in the night and in the
