TAYLOE'S SUCCESSES
From Alexandria and from an undoubted
source, we learn that the following are the froitf of
3en. Dick Taylor's victory at 13erwiek.s iizy and
Tbilxwleauxville: .
Fifteen hundred prisoners, seven thousand En
field rifies, two hundred thousand rounds of ammu
nition, ciht hundred sacks of coffee, three thou
sand .barrels of flour, twenty thousand suits of
clothing, twenty thousand pairs of boots and shoes,
two Arams of cars with locomotives complete- an
immense quantity of commissary stores valued at.
two million jive hundred thousand, not estimating
ten siege puns captured in the fort. The enemy's
loss was three hundred killed and wounded; our
loss was three killed and sixteen wounded.
The capture of three sea-going steamers at Pla
juemine, loaded with 'cotton, is confirmed. One
vessel is valued at two million dollars.
Sunday night, Lyoa capturfid five hundred,
-negroes and Yankees, and a large lot of beeves,
horses and mules, at Magnolia Plantation, below
;Bayqu Sara, -and. Powers captured over bo hun

place, opposite Red River Landing. The Yankees
were paroled and the negroes brought off. They

CAPTURE OF UK AS HEAR CITY.
Tho capture of Brashear City by the Confed
erates, 80 miles south-west of New Orleans, is con
firmed J)y the following account fronr a Yankee
correspondent :
"I am sorry I am so circumstanced, in conse
quence of our having been cutoff from communica-
,tion with IJrasucar tJity, tuatl am not able to give
you the full particulars of the capture of that im
portant placo by the rebels From refugees who
arrived in camp to-day, I learn the following de
tails: On Tuesday Jast, at 4 o'clock, a. ui., not un
,expectedly,'us was stated, a small force of rebels
jriaadc their appearance at Berwick City, imme
diately opposite Braahaer City) and opened fire on
our encampment at that place from two small
pieces of artillery. The attention of our gunners
at Fort Buchanan was drawn j.o them, and after a
few shots they vcrc"apparently dispersed. This,
it appears, was a ruse on the part of the enemy,
for scarcely had our soldiers been-placed in posi
tion to resist any advance of the rebels from that
place when they were suddenly surprised by a large
force of the enemy, which had during the night
.crossed Lake Palourde and.come up in their rear.
Rebels entered the town, and our men surrendered,
I am very credibly informed, without making any
very determined resistance. Our loss on this oc
casion was nearly 1,000 men, including a camp of
about GOO convalescent soldiers. But this was not
tho worst part of the business. The rebels, by
the capture of our force, gained possession of Fort
Buchanan and :Fort'Shcne, and anolhcr smaller
earthwork further down the bay. On these forti
fications were mounted eighteen or twenty guns of
heavy calibre, several of which were the finest rifle
pieces we had in this department.
Some of tho pieces we lost were those recently
taken from Camp Parapet, others raised from the
steamer II iosman, that sank in the bay last Morch.
Altogether this is one of the severest blows the
rebels have dealt us in this part of the country.
In military circles Braaher city is considered a
place of great importance. The fortifications at
this poiot eommand Berwick Bay, the Atchafalaya,
and in fact all navigation from the Gulf to the
Attakapas country. The rebel force we encoun
tered was under the command of Magruder, and
is .variously estimated at from ten to fifteen
thousand. The rebels in taking Brashear City
.captured quite an amount of quartermaster's and
commissary stores, as well as considerable ammu
nition. The enemy also eamo into possession of
the personal baggage of many of our officers and
men who had left Brashear City on their rapid
approach to Opclousas, Alexandria and Port
Hudson.

"Capt. Win. Lane's company, stationed at Ke

Capt. Lane alone made his escape.

this place last night. He states that the force
that visited Varsaw was 400, and that their whole
strength only numbered 1,500 all fold, but that
Foster was in supporting distance with a much
larger force of infantry. This fellow had 3150
Confederate money and stated that some of the
men had over 1,000 in the same currency, which
no doubt they robbed the citizens of." -
A correspondent of the Raleigh. Journal writes
as follows : ' ,

Nethcrcutt's Battalion and Bunting's battery,
supported by the 42nd N. O, engaged the enemy's
out-posts at the Free Bridge over the Trent, six
miles above Trenton, and drove them back, killing
several privates and severely wounding one , Colonel

defy the enemy's efforts by a series of victories un
paralleled in the annals "of war. Their conditions
of peace will involve no humiliation of the enemy;
no luss of power except such as is incidental to our

Richmond Enquirer.
AN INTERESTING CEREMONY.
Retaliation. Regularly Inaugurated- .
On Monday morning the Gth inst., ' the central 1
rcceptiou room of the Libby prison at Richmond
was the scene of a ceremony exceedingly interest
ing, though painful, yet no ks painful than neces
sary. . The particulars arfc thus given by the
Enquirer of yesterday :
.The Government having become thoroughly ad
vised of'the murder of two Confederate officers in
Kentucky, Captains Coibin and McGraw, by Gen.
Burnside, for recruiting men f'or the Confederate
army in that State, determined at once to take
uieasufes of retaliation. .
On Sunday, Captain Turner, commandant of the
prison, received the order Iroiu Gen. Winder to,
proceed with the drawing by lot of two officers, from
among the three hundred heh" there in confine
ment, to suffer the death penalty in pursuance of
this determination; and f5n yesterday, at the hour,
above mentioned, the officers were marched down
from their apartments on the second floor to the
reception room. A table, at which Captain Turn
er stood, was placed in the centre of the room,
and the prisoners were ranged in a square about it.
The roll was then called by the clerk. Two
officers were absent, and these being very ill, wejre
not deemed fit subjects for the measures about to
be adopted. -Capt. Turner then read the order of
Gen. Winder, and informed the prisoners fiat
they were at liberty to select one of their own"
number, or, if they preferred it, one of their chap
lains, three of whom were present, to draw the
lots. They selected one of the latter, the Rev. Mr
Brown, he being the eldest.
The lots consisted of the names of the officers
written each upon a separate slip of paper, which
was folded oyer to present a blank exterior. They
were placed in a wooden box, some'cightceji inches
long by eight in square width, and the arrange-1
inent was that the first two names drawn out. wculd
deignate the two doomed to suffer thS penalty of
death. : . .
The scene was one of great solemnity. Every
man seemed endeavoring to nerve himself to dare
the fate which awaited but two of their number
Mr Brown-stepped forward - andWlrew-in saeeess
ion two lots'., One bore the name f Capt. Henry
W. Sawyer, of the 1st New Jersey Infantry, and
Captain John Flynn, of the 51st Indiana regiment.
A shade of relief came over the .general appear
ance of the body and settled into an expression of
sorrow. The two doomed men did not speak, and
all remained for a moment silent. - They were or
dered to step forward and the rest were marched
back to their quarters. .. .
Upon being taken into the Commandant's office,
the two men evinced some signs of agitation, and
in a few minutes. Sawyer wept bitterly as he sat
down to write a last letter to his wife. Flynn,
however, gave no further sign of emotion. They
were then taken before Gen. Winder who duly re
turned them to prison nnder a commitment to
close confinement until the day of execution.

INTERESTING TO ALIENS.
- In the Charleston Confederate Court," on Mon
day, Judge Magrath delivered his opinion in the
cases argued before him last week to .test the lia
bility of alien residents to conscription:
The Judge sustained the Conscription act, aud
held that alien residents were affected with all the
liabilities' it imposes. The authority of Congress
to pass the act was held in perfect consistency
with the rule of international law, which imposed
on the Government of these States the duty of
protection, and this drew after it, as its conse
quence, the obligation on the resident of obedience
and allegiance. During war alien residents in
these States were considered by the other bellig
erents as much enemies as they who were citizens.
Their property, like that of citizens, is liable to
reprisal, and he power of the Government was
exercised for the protection of tho one as
much as the other. The obligations of . the alien
to"assist in the defence of the country in which
he resides is not denied, and it can' only be by the
Government of the country which could deter
mine Uhe services he should render. While be
resides in the country, and has no other -burthens
. , .1 - i ' . fc -
imposea on mm iuuu suuu as every rnu uurc
thetff' firronia be no comniaint. .n nenever. a
foreign country did interfere in behalf of its sub
jects resident Under another Government, it never
could go further than to claim the protection which
the citizen has. " To give to the alien resident the
same -brotection as the citizens, but affect henv
with none of the dangers which the citizens had
to encounter, was to make the citizen defend the
country for the benefit of the alien But it was
denied that while the alien chose to reside there
and receive the protection of the Government of
the Confederate States, and that protection was
equal to that which the citizen received, the Gov
ernment which claimed bis allegiance could inter
fere. It did not give him protection .there either
as to his person or his property. ; It -permitted him
to come into the territories of another Govern
ment, and"tbatbecame responsible for his conduct
to other nations. Such had been the doctrine in
sisted on in the case of Spain. The strict en
forcement of the obligation on the resident to
render allegiance a&d obedience in return for pro
tection was asserted by the Congress in 1776, by
the -several States, and by none more strongly than
South Carolina in 1778. And the doctrine has
since been maintained that a national character in
war is quickly acquired. - At its commencement
the alien: may depart. l3ut if he does not do so,
and continues hjp residence, he is identified with
the eountry and is regarded as. an enemy by the
other belligerent. ... - - ,
- The, above is an imperfect note of the opinion
which contained an exposition of the rule of in
ternational law, as adopted from its foundation by
the Government of the United States, and ia to
be considered as still recognized in the Confeder
ate'States. ' . '

stroy some bridges on the Mobile -and Ohio Rail
road; -They - proceeded without . molestation to
Brookhaven, where, being badly frightened by the
officers aforesaid, they only stopped about 20 min
utes, burning oight cars, and hurriedly proceeded
on their way. At 4 o'clock, about .22 citizens,
boys and old men, with thrco or four soldiers in
cluded, left in pursuit of the frightened Yankees;
traveling Wednesday and Thursday nights, Friday
morning brought them in advance of the Yankees.
Thursday night, the Yankees crossed Leaf River,
tore np the bridge to stop any pursuit, and then
camped a few miles on the other side. Our little
band finding themselves thus cut off, obtained a
pilot, "went a few miles below, crossed at a ferry at
11 o'clock at night, and though weary, pressed on
and took an old road that led into the read on
which tho Yankees were traveling, and by day
light had the satisfaction of knowing they were in
advance of their hated foe. After .leaving Brook
haven, this party was ever changing, some con
stantly leaving-their patriotism giving out and
others taViug ' thefr places ai recruits; :at one
time only five or six were present, and at others as
high as sixty; but on the morning of Friday, 26th
insL,only twenty-five were . present," ready and
eager for action in any manner that offered itself
to capture this band of robbers deyastatiog our laud.
Our glorious little band badly mounted and only
armed with double-barreled shot guns, took posi
tion in ambush, where a stream ran parallel to and
then suddenly crossed the road; tearing up the
bridge, the leader and two or three men took posi
tion there, and as a signal for action Lieut. Wilson
was to fire, but unfortunately, one of our men. dis
obeyed orders, and emptied the saddle of one of
the Yankees. When the advance of the Yankee
Captain and 'nine of his men came in range
our boys banged away, killing four aud wounding
five the Yankee Captain only escaping who in
stantly surrendered. The Yankees in the rear im
mediately fled, but soon formed in line-of-battle,
and tried to draw bur men out of their ambush,
but this did not lake. Our boys kept . concealed
until a flag of truce was sent forward for a 'parfey
Finding it vain to ascertain our forcepr to draw
our men from ambush, the Federals surrendered
and stacked arms; when out marched thirty-fire
old men and boys from their place ot concealment.
Imagine the Federals' surprise and mortification
at being whipped by an inferior force of ragamuf
fins. Had there been but ten determined men, with
a discreet leader, .the same results could have been
attained. These raids will do to compare with tho
L'un-boats in terror on their first appearance. Let
the old nu n and boys of our country rally by
ncighborhoods.with their trusty though much de
spised shot guns, and no force tho enemy cau send
asaiust us can co far in such a country as ours
without being 'annihilated. The capture of the
Federals took place three miles this sido of Ellis-
ville, in Jones County, and within an easy day's
ride of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. How for
tunate the country has been in being delivered of
this band of murderers and assassins. JacJcson

were carried off. There, aro but nine negroes left.
This information has been received from a gentle
man who has been in the town since the vandals
left. Our troops now occupy Suffolk. -
