The -rumor is authoritatively denied by a private dispatch from Cairo. Our corresponpent also tells how the ru mor started, and shows conclusively that there's nothing in it. It is authoritytivel}* denied that M. Mercier s visit to Richmond was for other than purely commercial interests, on behalf of French subjects; as also that Lord Lyons has leir »»r even proposes to leave for the rebel capital. So falls to the ground all the theories that have been elaborately based upon the supposed movements oi' these gentlemen. ESP* Flag Officer Foote, whose wound at Foit Henry is still painfully troublesome, has been compelled to ask to be relieved : but the Government, unwilling to separate him frvtm the fleet with which he is so inti mately connected, has appointed Captain Chalks H. Davis to perform the more arduous duties under the counsel of his superior officer. “.TcmoVoß, mi belli" arrested, immediate]*’ re signed his position in tee armv."- Sf€ dUpa’ck in otioffie/ coh-iun.

Jennison had resigned a week before, and the speech which he made to his regiment on that occasion was the ini media ic pretext for his arrest. To throw up a commission ia the face of an arrest implies guilt. The Si. Louis fellow know it, and so charged it upon CoL Jennison. Gen, Sturgis should give his St. Louis ally some staff office or contract. FrcaU Trials for Kansas—-Tlie Arrest of Colonel Jennison. Startling as it may appear, the young State of Kansas has again fallen npon evil days, and is again at the mercy of her worst enemies, ilarlial law exists over the entire State, and Gen. Samuel D. Stuigis, who would himself have hecu a rebel but for his “soldier’s hon or,” is the chief persecutor of the realm. He Is ably seconded by Gen. Robert B. Mitchell, years ago a leader of Missouri border ruffians; by Gen. James Denver, whe was Buchanan’s Governor to thrust Lecompton upon the peo ple ; and by Gov. Charles Robinson, himself morally and politically bankrupt and even now under Impeachment of his State Legislature. 0«r Ic-Utrs and exchanges from Kansas all bii: g the same doleful story of a rclgu of ter ror for anti-slavery meu, and with cue accord foretell a gathering storm of fearful portent. The plot is to democratize and degrade Kan sas ; to banish the old guard of freedom; and if not to bring in slavery itself, at least to make Kansas pro-slavery in sentiment. Our Kansas correspondent writes: The readers of this correspondence arc well aware that for some time past considera ble bus existed among both of ficers and soldiery in the Kansas regiments, both at the strong pro-slavery Influences ex erted and appointments made in this milltarv district, and at the changes made in the organ ization of the regiments to suit the policy of an impeached Governor; a= also at the special expedition to New Mexico” CoL Jennison is ardent, frank, fearless, and Impetuous. These characteristics led nim to early end boldly express his disapproval of the appointments made, and to announce his intention to resign. Among the first nets of Gen. Denver’s recent administration, was to order Col. Jennison to deliver up the deeds of forfeiture which certain rebel sympathizers of Jackson county. Mo., had given us 6ceari r y for their loyally. Another thing he learned, was that Sam flays,- brother of thenotoriortj/ rebel guerilla. Up Hays, at whose hoiLe Lieut. Bostwick, of John Brown’s com pany, with a detachment of men, was ambushed, and had a severe light, was in Leavenworth, claiming aud being awarded damages for destruction of property, etc. These things, with the fact that there was an evident and palpable plot on foot, not only to Democratize Kansas, but to punish the peo ple for their Anti-Slavery policy, deter mined CoL Jennison in leaving the service. CcL Jennison, with the Impetuosity of his nature, gave utterance to his indignation. In a speech to fcis regiment on Sunday week, he anncunccd the fact of his resignation, stated that he could not serve coascicntiouriv, under cither Generals Denver or Sturgis, because he believed them to be opposed to F.eedom, and desirous of perpetuating slavery. He made some harsh criticism?, on the Administration -for sending such men here, but in closing ad viced his men to do their duty honorably, and grin and bear it until they get out of t lie ser vice in a fair way. The speech was probably indiscreet, but nothing but what he had a a right to say as a citizen, though perhaps not as a soldier. On Tuesday night a number of men of Jea nisou’s regiment who lived in Northern Kan sas, left camp without proper furloughs. The probabilities were, as the result has shown, that these men, considering themselves book ed for a long trip to New Mexico, determined to see their homes before leaving. Most of, them have come bark to camp. The report was, however, circulated that Jennison had advised them to desert. Au order was issued by Lieut. Colonel D. R. Anthony in relation to the matter, which CoL Jennison tor some reason considered a usurpation, aud lore up, ordering the officer to report back to camp. A messenger was sent to Gcu. Sturgis, and on this the arresls were made. No one can Lam that any definite charges an- made against Col. Jennison. In fan it is nut generally believed there axe any; bat ad vantage has been taken of the pretext thus presented by his speech to place him out of the wav. Gen. Sturgis makes pompous and ridiculous bUPcments to that effect. There Is hitie doubt of the existence - J a conspiracy aiming the r;JJ army omcers aud the remains of borffir ruffianism in this city hue Stale, to obtain control of affairs here and ultimately crurli -out all anti-slavery manifes tation among us. T7pseecvldrr.ee of it cropping oat omall iianos. Gon. Denver insultingly told L*pL ■Stewart, of Montgomery’s late regiment, that it would be better for him not to associate with the Abolitionists of the Einancioatton League, to which the Captain’s rcplv was, “thathe chose his own associates.’’ Denver’s chief Aid, Lieut. Broadhead, constantly in dulges, while in this cilj, In threatening' lan guage toward Anti-Slavery men. Hi* usual language is to the effect that “the Black Re publicans and Abolitionists will catch h—1;” that “ they are walking on a volcano,” etc., etc. There are to-day on parole in this city three rebel officer?*. They arc allowed full liberty to do as they please, and arc the cbosuu associates of many of the attache* of the Fort, being much carcspcd, dined atd wined by them. One, Capt, Wins on, was token at Lex ington, Mo., his home, and. has lately, by the conrtan/ of some of the same 'men who tent Col. Jennison to Alton Peu tiary under ground, bad his parole extended to that place. Another fellow is a Lieut. Wood, notorious as having murdered several Union men in Missouri. Another is Capt, J. B. Bar rett. Loyal men are insulted by-the sight of these fellows even' day. Upon such a condition of affairs in Kansas as the above correspondence represents, the fit.

Mitchell, Denver and Sturgis appear to have adopted the “ role or ruin” policy in Kansas, and the result will be certain demoralization of the regiments raised in that State, and another vio lent outbreak of public sentiment which may lead to bloodshed if the pro-slavery policy is persisted in.

New - York, April 25.—The New York Times' Washington dispatch savs a gentleman arrived here to-day directly from General McClellan’s hcadquartcis, and reports that our forces have greatly the advantage of the enemy, as time will show, and that our sharp-shooters are the terror of the.rebel General. Our approaches command the rebel entrenchments. Every thing is working as well as the most sanguine c ould wish. On Monday last there was firing betweeutwo rebel regiments within the rebel works, caus ing much conversation in our camp. It con tinued so long and so severe that it was mistaken at first for a regular assault on our outposts, and the long roll was beaten in our camp?. It turned out that one of their regiments was filing into another, which returned the fire with equal spirit. Our forces could distinctly see them carrying off their dead and wounded. The affair is believed to have been a mutiny and measures taken to quell .t. The Virginians now being forced In to the service at the point of the bayonet re sist as far as they can, more especially to being drafted and forced into regiments from other States, to fill the latter to their respective quotas. Ii L supposed the mutiny grew out ul’fuim thing of the sort. Inlufmalion was received in our headquar ters at Yorktown that the rebels wore con centrating a large force at Gordonsvllle, hop ing to bug General Banks, and that it was their intention to allow McDowell to get across the Rappahannock, and then to precipi tate a superior force upon him. ■Wamiucgtok. April 25,— T1-c Richmond Et of the 22d, speaking of affairs at York lown, savs: “Our troops have cut a canal between the York at-d "Warwick rivers, which gives us a water front across that whole stretch of coun try, which must contribute materially to the strength of our position.” It states further that on Saturday night last our men. were en feged in throwing up intrenchments, and at ay light on Snndav they were completed, aud guns mounted, within 1,000 yards of the rebel position. GEN. LEE IN COMMAND OF THE REB ELS—THE AFFAIR AT LEE’S MILLS. New Yoke, April 25. —Reliable information places Gen Lee in command of the rebels at Yorktown. Gen. Jo Johnson did not remain. All the rebel stores, ammunition, stores bag gage, &c., has been removed three miles to the rear of Yorktown. Contrabands say the rebels had nearly 300 killed and wounded in the recent affairs Lee’s Mills. A gang of three thousand negroes who were at work on a dam had a dozen killed and were stainpmh d by our shells and had to be forced back with bayonets. NEWS VIA ST. LOUS, Expectation of a Battle ot Corinth.. REPORTS FROM COMMODORE FOOTE. St. Lons, April 25. —The Democrat's correspondent with Commodore Foote s.tys that on Tuesday night and the one pre vious an attack upon the fleet was expected from the rebels. The apprehension arose from a deserter’s story, which represent ed them busily engaged in congregating their gunboats, reinforcing their crews, and in other inspects very active, with a purpose of this raid in view. Thirty surgeons leave here this evening for Pittsburg, on the steamer Black Hawk. From the best information to be obtained, 1 am ena bled to slate that Hie great struggle at Corinth will probably come off between Sunday and Wednesday next. There is no longer any doubt that Van Dora and Price have aban doned Missouri. A gentleman who was in Memphis.a few days ego, saw and (,pny.-r,-ed with several per son' belonging Jo Price’s army, with whom lie v.j.s acquainted, and reports that the whole rebel force, which accounts recently placed at Jhcksonport, Arkansas, has arrived in Tea nr FFoe. The Republican has a special from Cairo this evening, which fays: Our latest advices from Commodore Foote's fleet are to Wednesday nijrht. A slow bom bardment was still progressing, the fort ex changing occasional shots with the mortars. The gunboats arc quiet. From New Madrid wo learn that half the town is overflowed, the water reaching to and surrounding the Court House, half’ a mile from the river. The lower fort is entirely sur rounded, and communication . therewith is maintained with boats. Tbe Government property is secured from destruction, through the promptitude of Gen. Strong in sending steamers. The last of the captured property at New Madrid and Tiptonville was brought to Cairo. Yesterday, the steamer Empress brought 300 sick and wounded from the ports below. They were immediately transferred to another transport and sent to St. Louis. Col. Jcnolson Bclea»ed on $20,000 Ball. St. Louis, April 25.—An order has been issued for the release of CoL Jermison from military prison, he giving bond in 420,000 to appear and answer to whatever charges may be preferred against him.

Onr Kansas correspondent writes udder date of April 2lit: The New Mexican Expedition has started for Fort Riley, there to consume some other man’s haystacks, and by enabling Democratic officials to spend more money from the Treasury, secure, it is fondly hoped, more comforts to the old regime. The Ist Kansw infantry started on Saturday, the 7th Kansas (Cob Jennison’s cavalry,) and the 13th Wis consin on Sunday; and the 12th Wisconsin to-day. They will not, in all probability ever go any further than Fort Riley, remalnioglong enough to be paid tff, and then marching back again. ; TLe War Department has authorized the raising, from the loyal refugee Indians, of two regiments, intended only for service against the rebel Indians in the attempt to be made to return them to their homes.

MATTERS -IT PITTSBURG, Health of the Army—Prospects of a Battle. [Special Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.] Pittsburg Laxdiso, April 23,1862. For the first time for nearly a week, the sun shines out brightly this morning, the atmos phere is clear and the air bracing. Yesterday U rained and stormed, and in the camp wc could hear the trees, which had been pierced with shot and shell, come down with a crash, occasionally, as the wind howled through th® woods and the pitiless rain pelted the flapping canvass of the tents. As might be expected, a large percentage of the army is on thesicklist. Out, of some regi ments of five hundred men, two hundred and twenty arc in hospital. Out of some of the butteries of one hundred and thirty men, thir ty arc on the sick list. The new comers ap pear to suffer the most, although a large num ber of the troops engaged in the late battle, having been for nearly ten days without proper Jood, were attacked with diarrhea and much prostrated. The late wet weather has not im proved them. A few fine days like the pres ent would, however, materially benefit the health of the camp. I yesterday,notwithstanding the storm, rode out to the front; found the advanced camps much better located. The ground was not so much cut up, or the mud so deep. A week of goed weather wonld dry up the roads conside rably. Still there is much to be done here; stores are yet to be prepared, tents received, etc. Msj, Gmu. Pope's division of the Western am y, numbering some twenty or twenty-five thousand men, arrived here in some thirty steamboats this morning. I bare heard that they were expected. From this change in the original programme, it is evident that the plan of sending a strong col umn down the river has been abandoned, whether because Fort Pillow has been found to be too strong, or for other reasons, I know not. This army will accordingly be the main force destined for the subjugation of the reb els in the South-West, by aulidvance on Mem phis and the river cities. By penetrating to Memphis it will be enabled to turn any of the fortified positions of the rebels on the Missis sippi between that city and Cairo. They can not hold them any more than they could Co lumbus after the tall of Forts Henry and Don clsoc. The army will probably wait for farther re inforcements from Buell before moving. It is bard however, to push them forward, on ac count of the condition of the roads in all this region of country. The rains have so in creased the volume of water in the river that it now runs like tire tail of a mill-race. Gen. Pope and staff landed last night, but the army remains on hoard the boats. The General appears to he In excellent health. To move his army, with all its baggage and mate rial of war is a herculean task. The bluffs here are from sixty to seventy feet high, and are only surmounted through ravines which arc very steep and in which the tenacious mud is more than knee deep. The following among other Illinois regi ments are here: 9th, 11th, 12th, 18th, 20th, •K)ll», 50th, 31st, 41st, 57ih and 61st. They arc in General Grant's Division of the array. Some of the soldiers, I notice, are still unpro vided with tents. I have seen some improvised with the aid of rails, on which blankets and old overcoats arc laid. They arc generally about two and a half and three feet in the char at the highest part, and must be about as divas one oi the sewers of your city. They are literally rmid puddles. Other of the troops arc in excellent tents. The unfortunate con trabands arc eat is fled with a shake-down any where. They arc really some of the most use ful persons, In ilielf Way, in tilS apihy, atld probably from the fiict of their being employed by the officers and soldiers on errands through the camp, are well acquainted with the location of the headquarters of the various generals and of the different regiments. I nev er fail to be correctly directed by them, while on the contrary from privates, and even officers, I find it generally impossible to get satisfactory directions. The army is gradually extending Us lines, and the pickets are said to be nearly nine miles out. On their side the rebels are also said to have thrown out their pickets some five miles further; so that the distance from this point to Corinth being only twenty miles, the advanced posts must be nearly in sight of each other. Picket duty and scouting in such weather as we have had for the past few days, must be in the Last degree unpleasant, for above, un derfoot, and all around is nothing but water —rot a dry spot to be found lor the sole of one’s foot. The 12th lowa Regiment I find have nearly all been taken prisoner at the late battle. Some five or six of the officers are now in a steamboat alongside of me, on their way home, haying tendered their resig nations. Talking of the fight, a good story Is told here.of a Colonel of an Ohio regiment. He came nursing down the bluff to the steam boats like a deer, and, rushing aboard one of them, declared that every* man in his regi ment had been killed; *‘he was the last of the ilohegans.” Shortly afterwards the entire regiment came down the bluff on the run, scarcely a musket among them. That Col onel and that regiment could not be got back again during that day or next; they uad had enough of fighting. But such panics are not unusual among raw, or even disciplined, troops. In another action that regiment may cover itself with glory. Company A, Chicago Light Artillery, Lieut. Wood commanding, have refused to receive their rifled cannon, and they have accordingly been turned over to the ordnance officer. There is much prejudice among the old companies against rifled ordnance—while with the green companies they are all the rage. It I is evident we have not as yet been enabled to turn cut the best form of rifled guns. Tax Plan ef the New York Chamber of Commerce. New York, April 25th.—The Chamber of Commerce has adopted a memorial to Con gress, proposing the raising of two hundred and fifty million dollars by taxation, os fol lows : From all sales of goods and merchan dise and other property at retail and whole sale, a tax of one per cent., yielding, your memorialists believe, the annual sum of $115,- 000.000; from the tariff, the sum of $50,000,000; from an excise or tax on cotton of two cents per pound, twenty-four million; from an ex cise or tax on tobacco of 20 cents per pound, thirty million; from an excise or tax on whisky and other liqnon of 25 cents per gal lon, twenty-five -million; from an excise or lax on malt liquors 5 cents per gallon, eight million: from a direct taxon real and per sonal property, twelve million; toUl, two hundred and sixty-four TrflyM** l dollars. The Rebels Preparing to Obstruct ■, Elizabeth Haver* Wabhutctox, April 25.—1t is reported here that the rebels at Norfolk, fearing an attack upon that city, have obstructed the channel of Elizabeth river with vessels, which are to be sunk, on the approach of our gunboats, THE LATEST NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. FBOH WASHINGTON. Reports from Fredericksburg, The Rebels Knew of HcDoweH’s Movement. TOPOGRAPHY OF THE RAPPAHASYOCK. EIGHT OF SEAECH ACCORDED TO ENGLAND. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Washington, April 23,1862. Capt Wyman commanding the Potomac flotilla, who has just returned In the Yankee from Fredericksburg, says the inhabitants re port the rebels in force no nearer than Milford, 30 miles on the Railroad to Richmond, to which place the main body retreated three days before McDowell’s advance, leaving five hundred cavalry to skirmish with him and bum the bridges. His movement was thus known to the rebels beforehand, although un known, (according to the Associated Press) to more than half a dozen persons, Fredericksburg people say the rebel troops there had no law but that of the commanding generals—taking property andpersons without notice ©r payment. Capt. Wyman says the town of Tappahm nock, which is only 42 miles from Richmond, could have been occupied any time this win ter. The only fortifications oa the river, are one below Urbana, and one at the mouth, where one gun was mounted, since carried oft" to Richmond, and Fort Lowric 10 miles above the mouth, mounting? guns, of which o were taken away and i sunk in the river. The latter fort was built on a low, sandy point, and could easily be shelled out by our gunboats. Above Tappa hanuock the stream narrows to Fredericks burg, and the only fortification at that point was seven miles below the town, where schooners were sunk. No guns were ever mounted there, but as the stream flows like a gutter between banks from 30 to 100 feet high, with occasional swamps, our gunboats could not have used their cannon with effect, could not have turned about, and would have been exposed to musketry and field pieces from the banks, unless accompanied by infantry to clean out the woods. The Yankee was fired at by the rebel scouts several times, but no harm was-done. The railroad bridge over Potomac creek is too long and too expensive to rebuild. The treaty for the suppression of the slave trade, ratified yesterday, defines and settles within specified limits the right of search as regards slave traders, thus removing one great source of irritation between England and America. Letters from Paris say Napoleon has ap pointed a military and naval commission, since the Monitor and Merrimac fight, to study the iron-clad subject thoroughly, with a view of turning it to practical acqpunt. Too late to telegraph you last night, I learned that the report of the departure of Lord Lyons for Norfolk and Richmond was without foundation. A gentleman from St. Louis, just returned from a visit to his mother near Manassas, says the general opinion of the people in that vicin ity is that Johnston never had more than 35,- 000 men there, the most of whom were ill dis ciplined. The size and efficiency of the rebel armies everywhere he believes greatly exager ated. Mr. Dawes of Massachusetts made a dam aging speech in defense of the Washbume CoDimiltee this morning, against Thad. Ste vens and other assailants. He hit right and left, and intimated that Cameron had served a notice in the district of each member ef the Committee that he should not be re-clcctcd. Air. Kelly of Pa. is now replying. Dan Sickles was to day nominated a Briga dier General. Mr. Dawes’s sx>cech Is regarded as a com plete vindication of the Committee on Govern ment Contracts, against charges brought by Stevens and others. He said the committee received only assistance and good will from the Chairmain of Ways and Means, (Mr. Ste vens,) until they placed themselves between the Treasury and a fraudulent claim of Si mon Stevens, for fifty-seven thousand dollars. The speech was listened to by a full house, and at times created much merriment. The new slave trade treaty with Great Britain authorizes commanders of vessels of war of each nation, specially commissioned for that purpose, to board and search merchant vessels of either nation in specified waters, on reasonable presumption that such vessel is engaged in the slave trade, subject to pay ment of damages for loss and detention arising from mistakes. Any one of the following marks is to constitute presumption and authorize the seizure of the vessels: Hatches with open gratings, an unusual number of bulkheads, spare planks for the second or slave deck, manacles, an unusual quantity of water, water-casks, mess tubs, cooking apparatus, provisions and clothing beyond what is necessary for the crew or mentioned in the manifest as a part of the cargo. The treaty constitutes three (3) mixed courts of justice, consisting of citizens •f both countries,at Sierra Leone, Cape of Good Hope and New York, for adjudication up on veseelsseized. aud own ers are to be tried according to the la vs of the country to which the vessel bdomrs. Mr. Wigfull is reported from Richmond as saying that the South would conquer peace at Philadelphia. Mr. Mercier reports that the Richmond offi cials arc bard up, but dragging. They have no tea, coffee, wine or ice. General Dc Alama Lockwood was to-day re jected by the Senate. Flag-officer Foote has asked to be relieved on account of the wound iu his foot. Three physicians say he requires rest, but the De partment can’t spare him, and so have order ed Captain Charles H. Davis to report to him. He (Davis) will perform the active duties, Foote retaining the supervision. ‘Washtngton, April 25.— Com. Foote, owing to the wound received in the battle of Firt Henry, has asked to be relieved from the command of the Western fleet, bat the de partment has, it is understsod, ordered Capt. Chas. H. Davis to repair to the squadron as his second in command, thus releasing him of much of the physical labor of his responsible position. In addition to what has heretofore been as serted in contradiction of the false statements of the Richmond papers, there is good au thority for stating that Count Mercier, the French Minister, had no official communica tion whatever with the Southern authorities. The report that Lord Lyons had gone to Richmond, oris going, is untrue, as are also the recent unfounded rumors o? changes in the Cabinet. The Navy Department is quietly, though ef ficiently at work, increasing the means of the national defence. The Atlantic Works and Harrison Loring, of Boston, have been award ed contracts for building iron-clad vessels un der the recent law.

GUERILLAS EP THE TESSESSEE. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune ] There is a painful rumor afloat thaT tha fighting has commenced to-day at Pittsburg Landing. Upon investigation! find it origi nated as follows: toe Captain of the steamer Belle of Memphis, when a“®at 20 below Pittsburg, yesterday morning, heard contin uous heavy cannonading inthat direction, apparently from forty heavy guns, and so con tinued as long as she remained:within hearirTg distance. I give the rumor for what It is worth. Upon inquiry at headquarters I found tiie rumor disbelieved. Gen. Strong received dispatches from Gen. Hdleck, by way of Fort Henry, dated yesterday, in which no mention is mode of the affair, "Whether the fight is progressing, or whether it was the effect of the excited imaginations of the listeners, I have no means of determining. The Belle of Memphis, when just below Chalk Bluffs, about five miles from Savannah, was firgd into by a squad of rebel cavalry, and a black boy was severely wounded. The rebels had purposely fired a building to in duce the crew to come on deck before the volley was fired. The Chocktaw, about an hundred feet behind, was al?o fired into and ti c mate killed. Not less than a dozen mlnic balls struck the Texas. X understand that Gen. Strong intends hereafter to place a boat howitzer upon every transport going up the Tennessee. The steamer Empress arrived last evening with the balance of Gen. Pope’s stores at New Madrid and the captured property at Tipton ville and Island No. 10. She brings doleful accounts of the destruction occasioned by the unprecedented Mississippi flood. New Madrid Is nearly covered with water as far back as the Court House, half a mile distant. The lower fort is entirely surrounded'and is only accessi ble by boats or by swimming the bayou. Thanks to the foresight of Gen. Strong, the Government property is saved. The Empress brought up the sick and wounded from the military posts below who were here transferred to a transport and for warded to St. Louis. The arrivals from above, to-day, arc the Per ry, Belle of Memphis, Choctaw, and Alex. McDowell. They report no movements of the army of interest. The weather was as un favorable and the roads as impassable as ever. The river was exceedingly high and no signs of falling. Capt. Merrill, Provost-Marshal, to-day sent 24 prisoners to St- Louis, among them Capt. Kirby and twoJaccompßccs.of the rebel army, charged with bridge bacting in the vicinity of Commerce. T There are eight thoißaad rebels at Chicka saw BlnllS instead of 18,000, as the telegraph made me say. The river is slowly rising. In several places ;he water is within six inches of the top of the levee. In the lower part of the town, beyond the embankments, the water from the Missis sippi poura furiously over the .railroad track into the Ohio. The superstructure Is washed away for miles, and several weeks must elapse after the subsidence of the waters before the running of trains will be resumed. The Dc Soto has just arrived from Fort Pii- low, having left the fleet at 1 o’clock yester day afternoon. She brings no intelligence of interest. The bombardment was progressing slowly, maintained by the mortars only. The rebels batteries answered shot for shot, but did no damage. The De Soto brought thirty bales of cotton for a Union citizen below Os ecola. Upon her up trip, the Star came across a flat boat upon which were three families, driven from their houses by the flood; the boat was leaking badly, aud ou the point of sinking with all ion board. They were left at* Hick man. Owing to the darknesss of the night, she was compelled to tie up to the trees along the shore, and while there, her men picked up a machiuest named Wm. Roberts, formerly of Philadelphia, who, to avold'imprisonmcnt, left Memphis in December last and took to the swamps, where he has since re- sided. The floods had driven him out of his hiding place, and when discovered he was nearly reduced to starvation. The Desoto carried him to Hickman. She also ran into a skiff filled with negroes who were escaping from some plantation, all but one of whom, were drowned. Major Eaton of the IStli Illinois, a brave soldier wounded at Pittsburg, died at his resi dence iu Perry county, yesterday. Steamer Lady Tyler, formerly the Alfred Robb, captured from the rebels, arrived from the Upper Tennessee this morning, and re ports that the heavy firing proceeded from a sharp skirmish with the enemy yesterday morning. No particulars. Steamer McGill left Pittsburg at live o’clock yesterday morn ing, and beard nothing of it. Steamer Emma left the Landing at 4 o’clock in the afternoon yesterday, and says that up to that hour not a shot was fired. Cob Stcdman of an Alabama regiment, cap tured at New Madrid, has arrived here on his parole, to report himself at St. Louis. He expresses the utmost faith in the success of the rebellion. Cairo, April 25.—The steamers Choctaw and Belle of Memphis arrived last evening at nine o’clock. They left Pittsburg Landing early Thursday morning. They were fired into twenty-five miles below Pittsburgh by a band of guerrillas from behind three dwell ings on the left bank of the river. The Cooc taw received some shots. Her mate was killed. The Belle of Memphis received twelve shots, mortally wounding a negro boy who was blacking boots in the mate’s room, near the pilot house. One ball entered the keyhole of the pilot house door lock. The guerillas fired the houses to draw our men out oa deck. The roads at Shiloh are reported improving. Skirmi-buig between pickets continues. Onr army moves forward In solid columns. The water has risen here nearly two inches since yesterday noon. It is still rising rapidly. An Inundation seems imminent. The lower Mississippi is fearfully overflowed, causing the greatest loss of property ever known there by flood. It is determined soon to evacuate Mound City Hospital. The inmates are to be removed to other points, where ample accom modations are being-provided. Cairo, April 25.—-The steamer DeSoto has arrived at this port, bringing 27 b:les of cot ton from Osceola, the shipment of Mr. Taylor, a citizen. There is no news of Importance from the fleet. In my dispatch this morning I mistakenly stated that the mate o( the Choctaw was killed in the guerilla attack. Later advices bring news retuiing the report. Seizure of Prizes in Chesapeake Bay** Arrest of Bebel Olspateh Agents. Baltimore, April 25.—The United States gunboat Hercules, Capt. Dugan, has arrived here with another prize and two important prisoners, one of whom has long been en gaged In the contraband trade, la passing mails and dispatches between the secessionists here and in rebeldom. The Government agents have been looking for this man since last fall He is wealthy and has been a most unscrupu lous secessionist. His name is withheld for the present. The Hercules subsequently paid a visit to Great “Wicomico river, and captured the schooner Algonquin, with a cargo which was no doubt taken from Baltimore. •• -'Sen* Banks* Advance NineHUes be> yond Harrisonbnrc, Va. ToE. M. Stanton, Secretary of Was: Newmarket, Va., April 25.*—Our advanced guard, Col. Donnelly commanding, took three prisoners to-day, at a point nine miles bey on 1 Harrisonburg. One of them says he be longed to Company B. of the 10th Virginia, regiment, of infantry. 1 This regiment has been on the Rappahannock. The.prisoner says the regiment joined Jackson athis present loca tion near StannardavUle, from Culpepper. - (Signed) - NIP. Bakes, THE PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. Mr. S HERMAN of Ohio presented resolu tions from the Legislature oiOhio, concerning the rebel prisoners ai Columbus, Ohio, saying the loyal feelings of the people of that State had been outraged by the Diet that the rebel prisoners at Camp Chase were allowed to re tain their slaves, by order of Col. Moody, thus practicably establishing slavery in Ohio, and. solemnly protesting against this outrage upon the loyalty of the people of Ohio. The resolutions were accompanied by a note from Got. Tod, saying that CoL Moody did not permit it, and tint the negroes had been sent there as prisoners, and Col. Moody was obliged to take care of them. Mr. SHERMAN said the fact was the negroes w tre sent there with their masters as prisoners, and did serve their masters; but he be lieved no blame could be attached to Col. Moody or the Governor of Ohio for this. Mij. Jones, the Inspector at Camp Chase, reported matters all right there. Mr. GRIMES of lowa asked if any steps had been taken to free these negroes, as he sup posed them to be free by the act of last sum mer, being captured in the service of the enemy. Mr. SHERMAN replied that no steps had been taken that he knew of. The negroes, he believed, were still there. Mr. "WILSON of Mass, said he should coll up the matter on Monday. He thought some action ought to be had oa the subject. Mr. TRUMBULL of HI presentedapetition for the construction of a ship canal to connect Lake Michhrcn with the Mississippi River. Mr. LATHAM of Cah introduced a bill to quit certain laud |Utles in the State of Califor nia. Kt-f<-rred. Gajbo, April 25,1602. Mr. COWAN introduced a bill to amend the act of April 30th, 1790. He said he should move to refer this bill, and all other bills con cerning the punishment ot rebels and the con fiscation of their property, to a select com mittee of five. The Choir suggested that if the motion meant to include the Confiscation bill now be fore the Senate, it would be more appropriate to move when the bill should be taken up. The motion was then withdrawn for the present. The bill for a line of steamships from San Brancisco to Shanghai was taken up aud pass ed by j eas 26, nays 16. Mr. ‘’Wade, of Ohio, introduded a bill con cerning private actlonsapiinst public officers. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. On motion of Mr. "WILSON, of Jti-s., the Senate went into executive session, and ad journed till Tuesday. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. When the House adjourned yesterday, the resolution of Mr. Hutching* was pending to censure Mr. Vallaudigham for words spoken in debate cgsiust Senator Wade, &c. The Speaker slated that this was a question ofpriv ilege, on which Mr. Vallandigham raised a point ot order. The rule referred to by Mr. Vallandigham was read. It is as follows': “If a member be called to order for words spoken in debate, the person calling hi-a tu or der shall repeat the ‘words excepted to. and they tdiall be taken down in writing at the Clerk’s table, and no member shall be held to an swer or bo subject to the censure of the House for words spoken in debate if any other member has spoken or other business intervenes after the words spoken and before exception to them shall have been taken.” The Speaker also directed the following to be read from the Manual; “iSsordetly words spoken in Committee must be written down, as in the House, but the Com mittee can only repeat them to the House for ani madversion.” The Speaker under all the circumstances sustained Mr. Vallandigbam’s point of order, and thus was disposed of the question of priv ih ge. The House considered for a short time, but came to no conclusion on the till appropri a‘ing six million dollars in payment of the bounties to the widows and legal heirs of such volunteers called into service under the act of July last, as have died, or may be killed. The House then took up the report of the stlect Committee ou Government Contracts. After some lengthy remarks by Mr. DAWES, the further consideration of the subject was postponed till Monday. Adjourned till Monday. FBO3I THE CONFEDERACY Reports from Corinth—HontsvUle and New Orleans—Rebel Gauboats Buildlng**-The Bombardment Be* low New Orleans. New Yob s., April 25.-—A special di-patch from Washington to the New York Tribune, suys an offici-r from Corinth, according to the Atlanta Con/wZerucy, reports that the Confed erate lines are extended over the recent battle ground, and that the Unionists are nine miles beyond there. Active preparations are being made by both armies for the grand decisive struggle at hand. Beauregard is being heavily reinforced. Skirmishes dally occur between the advance guards. A telegram from Augusta says it is believed at Corinth that the enemy is evacuating his position and going to his gunboats. Mobile papers assert that Nashville has been evacuated and 4,000 Union prisoners taken. Refugees from Norfolk state that the rebels have five wooden gunboats completed there, all of which are ready for service; that the rebels are also building another Merrimae of smaller tuimagc, and that four more are now building at Norfolk. The bill organizing a battalion of sharp shooters was passed by the rebel Congress on the day of its adjournment. The rebel Senate passed the House bill appropriating $150,000 lor the construction of u railroad between Galveston and New Orleans. The New York Times Washington dispatch has the following: “ The Richmond Examiner of the 22d says that official dispatches received on the 21st slate that the bombardment of the forts below New Orleans continned daring the whole oi Saturday, aud that there were no casualties on the rebel side. It Is stated that the Federal armament, owing to the shallowness of the water, cannot get sufficientlv near the forts to batter their walls to any extent, and th it there is no possibility of reducing them but by shell ing out the garrison.” We have a statement from the Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy that Northern Alabama and West c m Georgia arc completely at the mercy of Gen. Mitchell, whose present position is de clared to be such at Gunter’s landing tliat he can at once proceed to Rome, take that city, burn down the foundries, and capture all the arms, take possession of the engines on the railroad, and not only cut off reinforcements and means of retreat from the rebel General Kirby Smith, who was alleged to be marching towards Huntsville, but leaveat the same time the rebel forces at Knoxville, Greenville and Cumberland Gap, together with all Western Virginia, completely exposed. Fortress Monroe, April 24.—The Norfolk Lay Look, this morning, has a telegram from N> w Orleans, dated 23d lust., from, which the following information is obtained: There has been a heavy and continued bombardment at Fort Jact son all night. It is still picgressiug. The rebels in the Fort represent themselves still cheerful, with an abiding faith of ultimate success. They state that they are making repairs as best they cun. Their barbette guns arc still In working order, though most of them have been disabled at times. They assert that we have fired 23,000 15-iuch shells, of which 1,000 fell in the fort. They think our ammunition must soon be come exhausted, but assert that they can stand it as long as we can. From Nassau, N. P.—Rebel Steamers •••Hie Nashville Baulked In an At* tempt to Ron into Charleston-Ship wreck of the Karnak. New York, April 35.—The schooner Eve line, from Nassau, N.
