S. troops, by the Confederate forces under Col. Van Dorn : On Tuesday, the 23d, the U. S. troops embarked on board two schooners, which were towed down the bay to the Pass by the steamer Fashion, where they anchored, and the Fashion returned to Indianola with a guard of about 50 men to see if another vessel could not be procured, since the troops were too much crowded on the once they had.

A bald eagle killed. --Mr. Matthew Davis, on the 24th of April, killed, on the South Fork, in this county, a bald eagle, measuring seven feet from tip to tip.

It so, Davis "got him."--Abingdon Virginian.
