A PHILADELPHIA, March 13. The Bulletin' i "Washington special dis patch gays -. A letter dated near Kinston, March 10th, and received here at noon to day, stys that one day before (the 9th), a rebel brigade, firigg's, attacked Cox, mak ing two separate assaults, which were re pulsed with heavy loss to the enemy. . Kutgers division, oi tne za corps, cap tured one piece of artillery and 200 pris oners. . The enemy left the field in confusion, and of their killed and wounded fell into our hands. are BY MAIL. The enemy, elated with the capture of two or three small guns and a line of skir mishers in our front, made several charges yesterday of the most reckless character, which they were repulsed each time with heavy loss. Our forces were weU en trenched, and are now within three miles Kinston, to which point the railroad is now completed. The enemy continue to receive reinforce ments, and evidently intend to make a stubborn resistance at Kinston. General Couch's division, from Wil mington, communicated with General Cox last night, from Beaver Bam, a point he had just reached, which is eight miles from General Cox's headquarters. Ueneral Lkmcn joins General Cox's force this morning, which indicatles a battle to day. lie enemy snow signs ot weakness, and will doubtless fall back to the other side of the Neuse river, and make a stand in Kin ston. The enemy are reported to number from lo.uuu to zs.uuo. A rebel ram is stationed at Kinston to prevent an attack on the bridge across the Keuse, which is quite an extensive struc ture. It is reported by deserters that General Robert E. Lee and General Breckinridge, from Richmond, visited Kinston and gave instructions. Gen. Schofleld remained on the fieid with General Cox, giving every movement per sonal attention. The enemy is much alarmed and mysti fied in regard to Sherman's movements. We expect to hear from him in a day or two. General Cox issued an order congratula ting his troops on the heroic manner in which they have met the enemy and suc cessfully sustained themselves thus far. Ueneral MaTkland, Military Mail Agent, has arrived at Morehead City with a large mail for Sherman's army, which he is wait ing to deliver Dy way ot JMewbern. of of on of MEXICAN NEWS. MEXICAN NEWS.

To-dav'a mail from Mexico brinrrs the text of MaTimiHian s decree ot religious . . toleration, the promulgation of which has been previously announced, Dut tne entire text of which is now, for the first time, translated for the Associated Press. Maximillian, Emperor of Mexico, having consulted our council of Ministers, decreet tne iouowing : Article l. me umpire protects the Catholic Apostolical Roman Church as the religion or state. Article if. r ree and ample toleration is extended throughout the territory of the Empire, to all religions which are not op posed to mortality, civilization and good habits.

ENGLAND. The Timet hopes the public have fully digested the official in teliigenceoi sewara s preposition of terminating the American war by a combined attack of the belliger ents on some foreign power most prora- bly England, rather than Franoe. We must admit that a system ot extrinsic policy which the confederate envoys seemed cruel ly to favor, shows considerable ingenuity to the confederate interests, for by the time the extrinsic policy has been carried into execution and ended, tne f ederals would have become accustomed to live without the confederates, seeing in the Southern Republic only a kindred state and natural ally. Seward has most considerately fore warned us ; it will oe our lauu u not zouna forearmed. Sir Frederick Bruce succeeds Lord Ly ons at Washington. Hotsi ot Liobss reb. i J.

NEW YORK, March 18. The Post says the Sanitary Commission Saturday dispatched a steamer for New born witn supplies, ana aaotuer u io&u ing to sail in a few days for the same des tination. The Vera Cruz papers brought by the Liberty have the following : Four thousand prisoners captured at uax- aca, have been removed toPuebla. Among them were several deserters from the French armv who had been entrusted with important commands by the defending . -w . J iL.i " party. At is supposed uiab me prisoners will be detailed to labor on publio works The dispersion ot guerrilla bands is re ported. Estapette and Franco-Mexican Journals declare that in consequence ot the fall of Oaxaca the Juarat Generals Jicthagnry and Garcia have both given in their sub mission to the empire. By order of the h,mperor, a War Depart ment, with necessary offices and officials, has been formed in juexico. Gold dealers have a report that Sherman has had a heavy fight in which he defeated the rebels, and captured a large number prisoners and munitions of war. The report has had its effect on tlie market. The Timet' Shenandoah correspondent says: Among the papers found in Early's baggage was a letter from Jeff. Davis in re ply to a petition of soldiers to have the war brought to a close, as they had fought four years and accomplished nothing. Davis' reply is characteristic: He simply expresses the hope that it does not repre sent the feelings of a majority, of his men. JJv the steamer La Deny we nave uavvma dates to the 8th.

Officers of volunteers now in oommls sion below the rank of Brigadier General who should continue in the military ser vice to the close of the war are to receive, noon being mustered out of the service, three months' pay proper. FROM CAIRO. CAIRO, March 31. General Bailey's expedition from Baton Bouge into the interior of Louisiana and Mississippi consists or a,oou cavalry, witn a strong support of artillery. At last ac counts the expedition occupied Clinton, Louisiana. This section of country con tains a majority of loyal people. It is be lieved that this occupation is designed to be permanent. General Baldy Smith accompanied Can. by on his recent trip to the viciaity of Mobile. He has not yet been assigned to any command. Large bodies of troops are leaving here lor the vicinity ot AloDiie. The steamships Guiding Star and Geo. Cromwell have been temporarily taken by the military authorities for transporting troops to Mobile. A Matamoras letter of the 1st says : Diaz was besieged in Oajaka by Bazine, and the situation ot the former is very critical. The Morning Star arrived to-day. Cotton Common declined 2c : low mid. dling 77c. Sugar and molasses active at 18J23J for the former, and 1.26 for the latter. Orders have been received to forward provisions to the North and a thousand barrels are now waiting snrpmeni. New York tonnage scarce. Four hundred and fifty paroled prison ers, from New Orleans, belonging to the western regiments, arrived to-day and will move North soon as transportation can be furnished. General Washburne hat thrown the entire district of West Tennessee open to trade. The citizens will be allowed to come freely to Memphis with products of the country, and take out a limited amount of family supplies. This will continue, however, only so long as tne people mani fest loval and friendly feeling to the Gov ernment ot the united states, ana aon i abuse the privileges granted. Special Report. NEW YORK, March 13. FINANCIAL. At the session of the Stock Exchange favorable military rumors weakened the market, and there was considerable pres sure to sell. Erie and Hudson both gave way freely. New York Central is very strong and touched a higher figure. West ern shares lower, but the decline on them is not very marked. After the session the whole market was heavy and still lower prices current throughout the Railioad list. Government securities are steady with a moderate demand ior gold bearing bonds. Miscellaneous dull and lower. The gold room is depressed this A. x. The defeat of Schofleld is discredited. The Friday eve ning and Saturday accounts from Rich moid disappoints those operating for a rise, the disaster not being as great as at first reported. The report circulated this a.

The Exprtst announces that the iron clads wiU be deployed along the coast in defense of those harbors where it it proba ble the new rebel rams lately started from Europe will be disposed to show themselves. The Kalskiil and Sassacut will remain at Charleston; the Mahopic and Natucket will look out for any demonstrations about Port Royal, and the Monadynick will be stationed at Warsaw Sound. A Georgia morning paper editorially thinks Mobile has fallen. The Times pub lishes extracts from Mobile papers to show the desperate condition of the rebels in that city. The Mobile Crisis makes a frantic appeal to the women of Alabama not to recognize or receive into social circlet any man who it improperly absent from hit command or evades battle. It thinks if this Is generally done, 40,000 men will return to the ranks. The Herald t Wilmington correspondent says aU rebel property stored here was either destroyed or removed. An immense amount of cotton was destroyed, though there yet remains scattered about in small lots, perhaps three or four thousand balds, mostly belonging to private parties. Thousands of bales were sent up river on flats and barges, some of which may yet be captured. The rebels ran off the rolling stock of the railroads, burned the depots and bridges in the vicinity, at well as all the public and private machine shops, fac tories and several warehouses, and also several fine steamers. - LEASING PLANTATIONS. The Heralds New Orleans correspond ent says : Treasury agents are advertising abandoned plantations, and the probabili ties are that few will be worked the pres ent year. Nearly all persons who worked plantations last year were ruined, and the business generally is considered very pre- Mririns. . ' SOUTHERN NEWS. The Richmond Examiner of the 10th says : An officer from South Carolina re ports that the enemy have completely de vastated the country through which they have passed. They have not spared a single house, and have wreaked their van geance on that State with most savage spirit. The people have no conception of the conduct Of Sherman's army. The same paper says : The day set apart for public worship dawns more auspiciously than any day for the last three months. One of the columns of the enemy which were to form Sherman's advancing force, has been defeated with heavy loss, near Kinston. Our commanders are on. the alert, and our troops are In the best of fighting trim, In that direction. Sherman it only begin ning to feel the difficulties of his enter prise. So long as it was robbing citizens and unprotected wives and children he had brilliant success, but now he will have to fight Grant's : grand converging campaign teems now to promise the same termina tion as that of lat year. He can do noth. ing here unless Sherman comes up to join him from South Carolina, and Sherman cannot come. The Sentinel in commenting on the ne gro army bill says : It is a quae tion between fighting with or against the proposed re cruits ; it is a question between a slight modification of our society by ourselves fbr a good object and its total subversion by our enemies for a bad one. With the gov ernment in our hands which our independ ence would secure, we could abundantly protect our society by appropriate laws ; with the government taken off our hands, as would be the case if subj ugated, our laws would be sent to us from Boston. Our first and our greatest business is to defeat the Yankees. To do this no price is too dear, no sacrifice too great. The Enquirer in speaking of the removal of geld from Richmond says : The supplies of the country cannot be secured without gold. The banks have all the gold. With' out supplies the City of Richmond and the State of Virginia must be abandoned. The banks are squandering the gold, defeating the procurement of supplies and rendering the surrender of Richmond imperative, and all this for the dishonest and disreputable end of shaving their own notes. Shall this thing be permitted, will the citizens of Richmond submit to this? General Lee's army can defend its line if it it fed, but without gold it is almost impossible to procure necessary supplies. C he banks hold gold enough to procure twelve month's eupplies for the army. If they are permitted to dispose of this gold to the enemy then the people wilLhave to give up their supplies or give up the state. The rebel House has passed the Senate amendment bill for arming the slaves. The rebel Congress passed a resolution thanking Wade Hampton for his letter to General Sherman, and expressing the opinion that the Executive Department should carry out Hampton's policy. The Btistol, Virginia correspondent of the Richmond Whig says the enemy here commenced repairing the railroad east of Strawberry Plains. This indicates an ear ly advance for the purpose of occupying the country. It is the intention of the army to complete the road to Watauga river. This Department baa been consolidated with that of the valley of Virginia, all un der Lieutenant General tEarly, and the western portion of the Department unde1 General Echols. Reinforcements have come to Knoxville. STOCKS. NEW YORK, March 13. Gallagher's Evening jsxenange Goldl85J. New York Central 105; Erie 69 ; Hud son 110; Reading 107; Mich.

OFFICIAL WAR BULLETIN. WASHINGTON, March 18—9:45 P. M. To Major General Dix : The following dispatches have been re ceived by this Department. E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War. CITY POINT, March 13. To Hon. E. M. Stanton : The following has just been received: WISE'S FORK, March 10. To Lieutenant General Grant : The enemy made a heavy attack upon our centre and left to-day, but was deci sively repulsed with heavy loss. His dead and badly wounded were left upon the field. We also took several hundred pris oners. Our loss is small. General Couch it only 12 miles from here to-night, and will be up early in the morning. We took prisoners from Lee's and Stewart s corps, They say two corps are here and the rest of Johnson's army it coming. Signedf. J. M. Schofibld, Major General. CITY POINT, Va., March 13. Hon. E. M. Stanton, $ cj The following items are taken from to day's Richmond papers : .We have tome good newt this morn ing; newt of victory. It is announced in the following official dispatch from General Lee. Though the dispatch is rather scant in its particulars, enough it given to show that KUpatrick was badly worsted : HEADQUARTERS, March 10. Hon. J. C Brtckinridg : General BsjnptoB attacked General K2- Patrick at daylight this morning, and drove him from his camp, taking hit guns, wag ons, many horses and several hundred pris oners and a great number of our men who had been captured. The guns and wag ons could not be brought for want of horses. Our lost is not heavy. Lieut. OoL J. S, King was killed; Brig. Gen. Hume, Cols. Rugan and Morrison, and Majors Davit and others were wounded. R. E. LEE. It wiU be that the locality of the fight is not named in the dispatch This tis for prudential reasons. Sherman hat no communication with the North and it would be Imprudent to publish where he was, at it would be giving news to Grant of his progress. Matters are be ginning to look decidedly better for us in the South. In the last three days we have had newt of two victories in North Caro lina and one in South Carolida. 1 We aUuded in our last issue to a move ment that was being made for the purpose of recapturing our prisoners who were ta ken from Early in the recent fight near Waynesboro, and who were being con ducted under guard to Winchester. The following official dispatch tells oi it: HEADQUARTERS, March 9. To Hon. J. C Breckinridge, See'yof War: General Roster reports that on the 6 th with a few men he attacked the enemy near Harrisonburg, who were guarding the prisoners taken at Waynesboro, and cap tured a few prisoners. On the morning of the 7th he again attacked them near Raid's Hill, having detained them for a day and night at the river, and caused 4hem to retire in haste, abandoningthe only piece of artillery they had. R. E. LEE. Gznibal : The Northern papers claim to have captured about 1,000 prisoners in the fight with Early, and report that most of this number had reached Winchester. A messenger from Augusta, Georgia, brings advices to the 3d inst. No newt of interest had transpired west of Savannah river. The Georgia Senate had passed a reso lution declaring that it does not concur in the recommendation of Governor Brown for a Convention, by a vote of 20 yeas against 8 nays. Several large fires had occurred in An gusta. They are supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Four hundred Yankee prisoners will leave Richmond this morning on their re turn home, by flag of truce boat ; among them are thirty-three officers, including Generals Kelly and Crook, recently cap tured. U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General. TRADE WITH INSURRECTIONARY STATES. WASHINGTON, March 13. It is shown here that Singleton, of Illi nois, recently made a contract with the Government to seU a certain quantity of tobacco, but it is not to clear that the to bacco recently destroyed at Fsedericksburg was part of his venture. It it a mistake as stated in the rebel papers that tobacco was to be exchanged for bacon, which is includ ed in the term "Contraband- of War," as applied to exchange for the products of rebel states. Frederioksburg was not one of the designated places of pur chase, and it would therefore have been a violation of the blockade on our part, and would have furnished a reason for foreign ships to claim the right to trade at the same points. The flotilla settled the ques tion by destroying the tobacco.' The ex ecutive order, based upon the law of Con gress designates New; Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Port Royal, Beaufort, N. C, and Fernandina, as places for the purchase of the products of insurrectionary states. Had the tobacco been taken to Norfolk in stead of Fredericksburg, In accordance with an executive order under the law of Con gress, without loss to the parties interested. THE U. S. CONSUL IN MEXICO. The report current for a few days past, that the United States Consul had been ordered to Matamoras, is without founda tion, In fact the Consul, Mr. L. Fierce, re signed his office last year, and, con sequently, the olosing of the Consulate was a matter of course, in view of the complications evident to a war in Mexico, and the blockade of the Rio Grande. The United State Government has, since that time preferred to be repre sented at Matamoras by a Commercial agent instead of a Consul. Atchison was appointed such Commercial agent in' 1864, aad was recalled for political reasons, and another appointed in hit place, ... Dispatches have been received from Wood within a few days showing him to be at his post, and in uninterrupted dis charge of his functions. The President to-day appointed Briga dier General B. M. Price, of Ohio, pay Master General United States Army, to date from the 29th of November. GUERRILLAS NEAR WASHINGTON. Last night Moseby's guerrillas oame down to Bailey's Cross Roads and Man son's Hill, about seven mil at from Wash ington, and within three or four miles of our fortifications. They stopped at A. B. Munson's house and took six of hit horses. This is this is the second visit Munson has had from these desperadoes. . The guerrillas numbered about thirty, and were fresh from a oonfliot with tome of our cavalry, which they had defeated, leaving two dead and two wounded on the field, and taken others, with the exception of the commanding officer, prisoners.

NATIONAL ARMY OF MEXICO. NEW YORK, March 13. The Tribune' i Washington special of the 13th lays: Many Union officers distin guished for service and gallantry, whose terms have expired, have yielded. to the flattering overtures made by responsible parties and accepted commands in the na tional army of Mwico. The service if immensely popular. Thus far the selec tions made indicate those of tried ability. A RECOMMENDATION. Senator Harlan has earnestly recom mended to the President the appointment of a distinguished member of the Society of Friends as Commissioner of Indian Affairs, CONDITION OF OUR PRISONERS. The Tribune's Wilmington letter of the 3d says the last of our paroled prisoners arrived at our lines yesterday. The flag- of-truce which has been floating during the process of delivery has been withdrawn and all intercourse suspended. The last number, about 600, are on their way. Their wretchedness capt the climax of horrors. Dr. Wilborn, 8th Indiana, and Dr. Mil- lent, 16th Kentucky, represent the condi tion of these men as worse than any that ever came from Southern THE ENEMY REPULSED. The Ttbune't correspondence from Cox's headquarters, gives the following account of the battle of the 10th : The enemy, re- inforoed by Lee's corps, attacked Cox near Southwest Creek. They made two separate assaults; first on General Carter's division, occupying the extreme left. While they were being repulsed in front by Gen. Carter, McQueester's brigade of Rutger't division, of the 23d corps, attacked them in the flank and completely routed them, cap turing 127 prisoners and one piece of artil lery. Not satisfied with one attempt, they massed for a second assault on the centre. In this attempt they were as promptly re pulsed with heavier loss and retreated from the field in confusion. Bragg commanded the troops in person, assisted by D. H. HilL Yesterday Evening's Edition. FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK, March 13. Another skirmish between Sherman's cavalry and that under the rebel Wade Hampton, on the 3d inst., at a point not named, Is reported in Jtichmond papers, The rebel Colonel Aiken was killed and Hampton's Adjutant wounded, but these are all the particulars of the affair fur nished. The Richmond Examiner Is Informed by a rebel officer from South Carolina, that Sherman nas completely devastated the portion of that State through which he passed. This officer says that he hat not spared a house in his track. General Emery, of the 19th corps, has succeeded General Hancock as commander of the Middle Department, comprising the lower part or the Shenandoah valley and other territory in that region, during the continuance of General Sheridan's mere active operations. The greater part of the rebel troops in the Shenandoah Valley have been concen trated in the vicinity of Lynchburg, which place, some accounts represent, they were still busily engaged in strengthening at a very recent date, probably witn a design ot anording Lee anotner good to point to tall back to when Jticnmona and JretersDurg shaU become untenable. Large supplies of food for needy resi dents, furnished by the Shenandoah Relief Association have arrived in the Shenan doah Valley. Richmond Journals or last Jrnday an nounced that the removal of gold belonging to the banks of that city had already com menced, and in the strongest language the Legislature and people are called upon to stop this exodus of precious metal on the ground that if removed it will nearly all get into the hands of the Yankees and that upon its retention depends the very safety of rebel capital itself. The Richmond editors are very angry over the recent seizure, at Fredericksburg, Virginia, by the national troops, or some two hundred thousand pounds of tobacco, which bad been sent tuitner from reters burg. They say there was understood to be an agreement on both sides that the to bacco should go saieiy tnrougn tneir lines and that they should receive bacon in re turn for it, and consider its capture a I an te ee trick with which General Singleton, of Illinois, who has been in Richmond for some time past is suspected of having had something to da The Jtichmona jucamtner, ot the lutn, says: The latest advices irom Lynchburg show that that place is all safe. The same paper complains ot the injus tice done to soldiers by withholding their pay, and says that this is the chief cause of their desertion. On the 9th between 500 and 600 sick and wounded Yankees were taken from Rich mond hospitals and sent forward for ex change. On the 10th nine hundred weU prisoners, all that remained in Richmond prisons, were to be forwarded. The Herald's Baton Rouge correspon dent of the 3d says General Bailey had gone on a raid in the interior, the result of which has not yet transpired. The exchange of prisoners at the mouth of the River is still continued. General McCean has relieved General Ullman; in command at Morgan xia. The Herald's Washington special says the War Department attaches very little importance to Bragg's reported success in North Carolina, aa- the force captured must have been only a construction party, accompanied by a small force as guard. They were reopening the Atlanta and North Carolina ajulroaxL SOUTHERN NEWS. Niwbibn, March 9. Major-Gen eral Schofleld and Brevet Brigadier-General Schofleld and their staffs have arrived here, having left Wil mington on Monday last. They bring ne news from General Sher man. The enemy's papers are equally ignorant of Sherman's whereabouts. The roads are bad, which delays his progress somewhat. A letter was received here the other day from a young man who has been confined in the Salisbury prison for the past two years, stating that he was liberated by the Union forces. The enemy are in considerable force at Kinston, N. C, having been recently rein forced. . Lee's corps, from Hood's army, is report ed there.

HlAIXJUABTTBS MlDSLB MILTTAB.T I IrraioN, CoLtncBiA, Va, Fab. 10. Lieutenant General Grant: , Gbnbbal: In my last, dated Waynes-, boro", I gave you a brief account of the de feat of Early by Outer's division. The same night this division was pushed across the Blue Ridge and entered Char lottsvQle at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The next day the Mayor and principal inhabitants came and delivered up the. keys of the public buildings. I had to re main at Charlottesville two days. My, time was consumed in bringing over from. Waynesboro our ammunition and pontoosk train. The weather was horrible rain Inces sant. The two divisions were during this time occupied in destroying the two large: iron bridges, one over the Riviana River and the other over Morse's Creek, near Charlottesville, and the Railroad for dis tance of eight miles in the direction cX Lynchburg. Un the 6th of March I sent the 1st Di vision, General Devin commanding, ta Charlottsville. on the James River, with directions to send out light parties through, the country and destroy all merchandize, mills, lactones and bridges on the Rivannav River, the parties to Join the Division at Scottsville. The division then proceeded along tha canal to Duruidsville, fifteen miles front. Cynchburg, destroying every lock, and in many places the bank of the canal. At Uuguidevllle we hoped to secure the bndgej to cross the river, aa our pontoons were: useless on account of the high water, la this we were foiled, as both this bridge and the bridge at Hardwickville were burned, by the enemy upon our approach. Merritt accompanied this division. The Third Dt v ion started at tha same time from Char lottesville, and proceeded down the Lynch burg railroad to Amherst Court House, destroying every bridge on the road, and. in many places miles of road. The bridges on this road are numerous, and some ot them 600 feet in length. We have found a great abundance In. this country for our men and animals, ia fact tne canal nad been the great feeder ot Richmond. At the RockUsh river th bank of the canal was cut, and at New Can ton, where the dam is across the James, th guard-lock was destroyed, and the James, river let into the canal, carrying away thai banks and washing out the bottom of thei canal. The dam across the Jamea at this: point was also partially destroyed. I have no opposition. Everybody I bewildered by our movements. I Lava had no news of any kind since I left. Th latest Richmond papers were of the 4th, but contained nothing. I omittedt o men- tion that the bridges on the railroad front. Swoop's depot on the other side of Btann-. ton to Charlottesville were utterly des troyed, also all the bridges on for a dutanoa of ten miles on the Gordonsvile pike. The weather has been very bad indeed,' raining hard every day with exception of four days lince we started. My wagons have, from the state of the roads, detained, me. Up to the present time we have car- tured fourteen pieces of artillery, eleven at. Waynesboro and three at Charlottesville The party x sent back from Waynes bora started with six pieces, but they werey obliged to destroy two of the six for want, of animals. The remaining eight pieeesv were thoroughly destroyed. I have alsa captured twelve canal boats laden with sup plies, ammunition, rations, medical stores,' O,e0. I cannot speak in too high terms offien, eralt Merritt, Custer and Devins, and tha . officers and men of their commands. They nave waded tnrougn mud and water during, this continuous rain, and are all in Una ! spirits and health. jommodore nouins, or ins rebel navy, , wu shot near Gordons ville while attempt- ' ing to make his escape from our advance) u that direction. . - (SlgnedJ P.
