THIS NEWS.
There is no one token of the present time
more unmistakably a proof of public con
fidence in the stability of this Government,
than the promptness with which invest
ments by the people in Government secu
rities are being made in all parts of the
country. The report of Jay Cooke, Esq.,
of Philadelphia, the Subscription Agent,
shows that over five thousand individual
subscriptions were received yesterday. It
is a cheering token. The people do not
believe the Government is going to fail.
They intend to stand by it. They will
pledge the last man and the bottom dollar
to its support.
The news from "Western Virginia, after
a brief lull, rises into importance again.
The report now comes that Col. Mulligan's
force lias been defeated, that the rebels un
der Imboden arc in strong force, and
llireateu to invade Pennsylvania. Their
purpose is plunder, and the country ex
posed is justly in terror.
Our Columbus, Ohio, special dispatch
leads us to hope that the infamous Vallan
digham will be one of the first fruits of
the Burnside order. This hissing Copper
head is evidently desirous of martyrdom,
and Gen. Burnside trill be entirely willing
to begin with him. As the two parlies
seem thus exactly agreed, we hope to see
the wretch that has so long disgraced loyal
Ohio, sent where his affinities may receive
and welcome him. Get him ready to be
gent to Dixie with poor Green of Massac,
who is now trying to get back across his
Mississippi in a dug-out.
Elsewhere we supply the hiatus in our
dispatches of foreign news, and give an
abstract of the amnesty of the Czar which
has heated sevenfold holler the revolution
ary fire in Poland.
Our advices from Rosccnms’ army do
not materially alter the aspects presented
at previous writing. The enemy have ad
vanced, and hold a strong line north of
Duck River. Authorities differ as to
whether .Tclmson will attack our army
in their entrenchments at Murfreesboro.
*Wc confess to seeing little reason to believe
that they will thus please Rosecrans, who
certainly could ask no better favor at tbeir
hands. We believe that it will be our own
forces that will take the iniaUvc when the
time comes.
Burnside’s boys have repeated histoiy,
and won a new victoiy at Somerset. They
have crossed the Cumberland and fought a
Stiff battle with the enemy. The advices
arc not in detail.
FKOM GEX. HOOKER'S ARJIY.
We feci inclined to wait for further
events, rather than to comment on the ad
vices elsewhere given from the army of
Gen. Hooker. These confirm the previous
dispatches, which announced that the Rap
pahannock had heen successfully crossed
by our army, commencing thus the fifth
grand movement on the rebel Capital.
Events will now throng rapidly, and the
developments, as they transpire, the pub
lic will breathlessly await. Our dispatch
es of last night contain the rumor
that a battle had actually commenced,
in which 50,000 Union troops were en
gaged, led by General Hooker in person.
If not already begun, it cannot ho long
delayed. The enemy are doubtless present
in powerful force, for their stake is cer
tainly no lighter than on previous occa
sions when their chief stronghold was
threatened. If the talcs of veracious fugi
tives of all colors have deceived any one
into the belief that the rebels were with
drawing their large army, which has been
for months rested over against our own on
the Rappahannock, Gen. Hooker has not
been of the number so strangely misled,
lie expects to fight his way to Richmond,
and has started, prepared for such an un
dertaking. How he will succeed, events in
the immediate future will show.
One thing he has done which gives a fa
vorable augury of success. He does not
advance without strengthening his right
flank, protecting the whole line of the Rap
pahannock to the Upper Fords aud base of
the mountains, holding that avenue north
ward secure against rebel raids made lor pur
poses of attack, or to create a diversion.
Gen. Hooker is not disposed to allow side
issues of this nature to interfere with his
progress. With a splendid body of cavalry,
an army in itself, he has barred the
access of the rebels to his rear.
Late advices represent tbe rebel cavalry
threatening the passage of the Upper Rap
pahannock, and yet they have been held
hitherto In complete check by these pre
cautions, secured by the Federal comman
der before his advance took place. And
the rebels know it, as tbe Richmond En
quirer of the 27th has the following:
4 ‘The enemy have occupied the county of Fan-
quicr in large force—lt Is reported from 20,0W to
30,0iM, They arc said to have 15.000 infantry and
i),0(O cavalry. Their infantry camp was at last ac
counts on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, be
low the Warrcnton Janctlon, and their cavalry
picket the Rappahannock. It is reported that a
email force of the enemy made a dash up to Wash
ington, Rappahannock county, but that is not cer
tain. Skirmishing along the river was daily taking
place.”
So completely is this region held by our
forces, that trains on the Orange and Alex
andria Railroad run to Rappahannock Sta
tion, or within twenty miles ‘of the limit
of Gen. Pope’s famous advance. "With
this prefaloiy work attended to, Gen.
Hooker has broken the dullness of winter
and mud-bound camps by availing him
self of the first return of good roads to
commence his momentous task. He occu
pies a position whose responsibilities are
peculiarly enhanced by the failures and
misadventures of his predecessors. If he
wins, the wrecks of the bogus Confederacy
will he past mending. We will not con
sider the other alternative of failure. We
prefer to await with confidence the happy
result of a task never before so auspiciously
begun.
S'IHA.XGHT AT THE WOBK.
Five million dollars have been expended
in the ditch-digging by which it was
hoped to channel out a safe and easy way
to lake Vicksburg. The estimate is that
furnished hy reliable sources, and will lull
helow Hie actual total, if the calculation
comprise expenditures in loss of time to
the army while ditch-digging was in pro
gress. First the cut-off across the penin
sula was to make Vicksburg an inland
town, but tbe Mississippi, to such a scheme
was hopelessly rebel. Then expeditions,
with frightful labor and fearful peril, were
lo penetrate deeply the interior through in
tricate bavous, hoping lo find themselves
spmehow or other in position to strike
at the enemy from an unprotected side*
One after another, the cutoffs have them
selves been untimely cut off, and now that
the Duck Point canal has run dry, it must
he pronounced “ the unkindcst cut of all.”
Spades have led before Vicksburg hitherto,
hut their day seems happily past. The
army is now to go straight at the work,
and look lor no advantage hut that won
hy bal'd fighting. Our dispatches and cor
respondence announce the force of Gen.
Grant as in possession of Grand Gulf, and
a portion of it having begun the ascent of
the Black River to reach the rear of Vicks
burg. This done, and the military hand
lina closed entirely about that city, for
their river supplies are now cut off. Then
VOLUME XY.
ihc rest of the work is easy. The place
must fiill of itself without attack, in a short
time. But the undertaking, in its present
shape, is no light one. By the Black Riv
er, ' '
it is eighty miles of narrow, tortuous
and treacherous channel, before the cross
ing of the Vicksburg and Jackson Railroad
is reached. It is not to be believed that,
with the ample warning given, the rebels
have not prepared for a stout resistance,
but the aspect that is hopeful is, our army
goes to fight its way, and not to steal
a march. It expects no advantage not
openly wrested from the enemy, and if
there be a disappointment this time, it will
be only after warm work.

A telegram from St Petersburg of April 12,

Ukase applies not only to all Poles, but also
to such Russians as have taken part iu the in
surrection, and who shall laydown their arms

A telegram from Cracow of April 13, says;
The proposed amnesty has been universally
rejected. It leaves Poland in the same posi
tion as before the insurrection.
A protest against the proposed amnesty has
been circulated.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg of April 12,
says; To-day being the Russian Easter Sun
day, an imperial manifesto has been publish
ed granting a full and entire amnesty to all
Poles in the kingdom who shall lay down their
arms and return to tbeirallcgiance on the 13th
of May. The same terms for laying down
their arms and giving in their submission are
alto fixed for the insurgents in the Western
Polish districts. The ony exceptions are with
regard to ordinary crimes and to suchoflences
as have been committed by the army. Tbe
manifesto further announces that tbe’insiitu
tions granted to the Poles shall be maintained,
and alter practical experience shall bo deve
loped according to the necessities of the age
and the country.
A telegram from Cracow of April 11 savs;
The insurgents in Maryanopol have establish
ed communication with the insurgents in
SomogiUa. A fresh body of insurgents has
occupied Polauiec, on the Vistula, in the San
domir district. Engagements have taken
jdace near Mirgos, Kaliwaiya and Lodz. The
government of St. Petersburg bas addressed
an inquiry to the Grand Duke of Constantino
upon the possibility of extending to the king
dom proper of Poland the ukase ol sequestra
tion pronounced in Podolio, Lithuania and
the Ukraine.
The Gras announces the arrest of the editor
of that paper.
Intelligence from the theatre of war states
that numcrons detachments of insurgents,
under unknown leaders, were in all parts of
the kingdom and of Lithuania. Engage
ments, in which the Poles were victorious,
have taken place at Ciecboceneo and Piockie.
The result of other combats, which have oc
curred at Garwolni, Lubelski, and Kuflcw, in
Podlachia, has not as yet transpired.
The Czas annouuces that Gzacoislai, by
clover maneuvers, has maintained, with 1,500
men, the position formerly occupied by
Inngiewicz. Another body of 1,000 insur
gents is reported to be stationed at a short
distance from the former corps.
The insurrection in Podlaehia is gaining
ground.
The Marquis Wlclopolski has been chal-
lenged by Counts Bnmickiand Cbojeckl.
A dispatch from Thorn, of April 12, says:
The committee of the revolutionary govern
ment in Wiina has issued a manifesto stating
the abuses of the Russian government, calling
upon the inhabitants to rise in insurrection,
and declaring that Lithuania and Little Rus
sia are inseparable portions of Poland.
In consequence of this manifesto, the peas
antry and younger portions of the nobility
have taken up arms against the government.
A dispatch from Lcinlmrg of April 11, says:
Tiavelers who have anlvcrd’ here, report that
numerous bands of insurgents are extended

rectum constantly assumes more of the ebar-
acter of partisan warfare.

tinue.'
TiiC Czas publishes dispatches, Pta'ing that
notes were dispatched to the Powers from
St. Petersburg, simultaneously with tbe issue
of the Czar’s manifesto, granting amnesty to
the Poles.
Tbe Czas adds: Tlds step of Russia was
taken with the object of preventing interven-
tion. The manifesto does not promise to
chance the stale of tilings which brought
about the revolution. It only returns to the
position existing before January 22, neither
more nor less—the posit ion which drove the
Poles to arms. How will the country and the
Powers accept the manifesto? It is not for
ns to replv, hut it is doubtful whether the
Powers will he content The insurrection
will apply in the name of the whole country.
By fixing the term of May Ist for laying down
arms the amnesty, in fact, recognizes the in
surrection, imposes upon the Powers the ob
ligation of recognizing it as a hcllgcrcnt
party, and may raise Lopes of an armistice.
The Breslauer Zeituntj announces that an
engagement had taken jfiace bet ween the Rus
sians and the insurgents near Kolo and Kouin,
In which the Russians were defeated. The
insurgents have greatly increased in numbers
in that district.
A fresh attempt on the part of some Rus
sian Cossacks to violate the Austrian frontier
has been frustrated by Austrian hussars.
TUB LATEST 2»EWS.
The Czar's amnesty has had an immense el
fi’ct in redoubling the intensity of the insur
rection. Every one wishes to set out from
Cracow, even without arms, to join the move
ment.
The insurgents gained a victory at Kouin.
The rising in Lithuania continues to extend.
Czacbowskl has been supplied with muni
tions of war. The Czar’s manifesto was
known at Warsaw on Sunday, and was receiv
ed with the greatest apathy.

Columbus, Oblo, May 1, ISOS.
Tbe infamous Vallaudiirhaiu made a speech
here last evening, in which he denounced

ValJaudigham was to speak at Mt. Vernon,
a little town in the backwoods of Ohio, to

Gen. Burnside had sent up a portion of his

Washington, May 1, 1563.
A recent rcconnoissance by General Stahl,
up to yesterday, demonstrates the presence
of no considerable body of rebels between
the Rappahannock and the Blue Ridge. Thir
ty-eight prisoners were captured, belonging
to Mosby’s cavalry, which is now completely
destroyed as an effective force.
Philadelphia, May I.—The Evening BulU
n has published an extra with the following:
We have no dispatches relative to the move
ments ol our army beyond tbe Rappahannock,
but we are able to assure our readers that
everything is going on favorably in Gen.
Hooker’s army.
EATER.
We learn,thonghnotfromanofficial source,
that Gen. Hooker, with 50,000 men, has had
a battle with the rebels beyond the Rappahan-
nock.
We have no particulars, but the Union
troops are victorious.
Washington, April 30.—From the best at-
Lainable information from persons arriving
from the Rappahannock, it appears that some
important movement took place yesterday.
There was no fighting of any importance.
The forces crossed at Kelly’s ford. Pon-
Loon bridges were laid two miles below Fred-
erlcksburg, and we held possession of those
pontoons last night. The enemy formed lines
of battle, and planted batteries on the heights
within reach, and also fired a few shots to get
the range. In crossing, we lost one or two
officers killed, and from thirty to forty men
wounded. Our men crossed first on boats,
ond drove the enemy out of their rifle pits,
killed and wonnded many, and took 100 pris
oners, including several officers, one of whom
was Lieut. Col. Hammond of the Cth Louis-
lana regiment.
These prisoners arrived here yesterday and
wore sent to the Old Capitol prison.
Another informant says the left wing, 35,000
strong, crossed four miles below Fredericks-
burg, a little below where Franklin crossed,
previous to tbe first battle of Fredericksburg.
They fought twelve hours, drove the enemy
eight miles out of their rifle pits and behind
Ihclr entrenchments.
The second brigade of thefirst division, first
corps, has suffered more than any other in the
fight. Our lorccs have captured between 500
aud COO prisoners, who will be sent to this
city. Many of.these prisoners have volun
tarily come over to us, having thrown away
their arms, in small squads, and begged for
toed. They pick up what the soldiers have
thrown away on the march. Other rebels,
however, say they hare plenty to eat. The
right wing crossed at Kelly Ford, and Gen.
Slohcman’s cavalry is reported to bo some-
•where in the rear of Fredericksburg. One
corps remains at Falmouth as a reserve.
New Tons, May 1. —The New York Tri-
lime's bulletin announces that Hooker's army
crossed the Rappahannock in four places.
The enemy was confounded, and we captured
the pickets and reserves, and 400 prisoners
were taken.
The Tribune's account states that on Mon
day,the lltb,ll2thand loth Army Corps moved
to Kelly’s Ford, and reached there Tuesday
morning. A brigade had been guarding the
ford for the past two weeks. Wc crossed on
pontoons, superintended by Gen. Howard.
No enemy was found, hut a few pickets.
Stoneman’s cavalry crossed next morning.
The wagon train was parked near Banks’ ford,
and it was evident that a connection would b®
forced from there to the troops at Kelly's
From eleven to one o’clock, irregular firing
was heard from the direction of Germania, on
the Rapldan. It is supposed the enemy was
trying to check the rapid march of our
troops.
At noon on Tuesday, the Ist, 3d and 6th
Array Corps broke camp at daylight. On
Wednesday, the enemy’s pickets and reserves
were captured and two bridges built, four
miles below Fredericksburg. Twenty men,
of the 110 th Pennsylvania, were wounded. A
third bridge was constructed, and a sufficient
force to bold the bridge crossed.
Two miles further down, Reynolds’ Ist
army corps constructed a bridge In the face
of the enemy’s rifle pits, and effected a cross
ing. The resistance was stubborn, but short.
Our artillery lire was too severe for the ene
my, who fled, leaving eighty-seven prisoners
from the 13th Georgia aud Cth Louisiana regi
ments. They report Jackson commanding
the right wing.
Conch's 2d division was in the rear of Banks’
ford, with full facilities for crossing.
A good road has been constructed between
Banks’ aud tbe U. S. Fords.
The corps -which crossed Kelly’s Ford are
moving towards Chanceliorvillc, south of
Fredericksburg.
Hooker's headquarters arc now In the sad
dle.
Kevt Yoke, May 1. —A special to the IL-rahl,
dated “ Four miles below Fredericksburg,
April 20th,7a. m.,” says:
Thus lar, the wounded in the skirmishing,
four miles below Fredericksburg, arc allfrom
one division, namely, the 14th Brooklyn, the
£2d New York, and the 19th Indiana. None
are wounded dangerously. Nearly all werq
wounded in skirmishing, hy musket shots.
Oar batteries have just opened on the reb
els, bnt we failed to draw their artillery fire
or to silence their musketry.
Signal lights have beeu observed in busy
operation upon the heights that border on
the Rappahannock, doubtless used for the
purpose of warning the rebels of any move
ments of our army. Their earthworks and
lines of defense extend fir np along the rebel
side of the river, and at night, the reflec
tions of many camp fires light np the sky
for miles.
All conversation between pickets is strictly
prohibited, and even the tempting bait of a
piece of tobacco cannot procure for the reb
els the luxury of a Yankee newspaper.
Fairfax C. H., April 80.—The expedition
under the command of Gen. Stahl, left here
on Monday, the 27<h. The men were pro
vided with cooked rations for five days. It
returned early this morning. The object of
the expedition was to patrol the country to
tbe west of the Shenandoah, which was suc
cessfully accomplished. Several skirmishes
took place between this force and Mosby’s
rebel cavalry, which. resulted in the capture
of several of his men. The result of the ex
pedition is the capture of forty prisoners,
mostly Meshy's men, and some of White’s
guerillas, and ten horses. Among the pris
oners is a rebel conscription officer, upon
whose person was found a list of names of
conscripts, and papers of importance. Wo
suffered no loss or casualties. The rebels lost
several men.

correspondent, writing from Warrenton Junc
tion, Va., April 2Sth, says:
News comes by a deserter that Gen. Hamp
ton, commanding the Hampton Legion, has
resigned his commission and returned home.
His action is said to have originated in his
sympathy with the opposition of Georgia to
the food assessment and other arbitrary acts
of the Confederate government. Whether
officers in the legion have followed his exam
ple, is not reported, but considerable disaffec
tion ensued among the privates, and they
have been incorporated into Virginia cavalry
regiments. The Hampton Legion, of Geor
gia, is defunct as an organization.

TBE CANAL MANIA RUN DRY.
OUR TROOPS AT WORI IN
EARNEST.
Rumored Occupation of
Grand Gulf.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Cairo, May 1, ISO 3.
Two or three steamers have arrived to-day
direct from Millikcu’s Bend, which place they
kft on Sunday evening, bringing later news
ttan we get from Memphis.
The canals and passes having all failed, Gen.
Grant has gone to work in earnest to take
Vicksburg. Even Duckport Canal has becu
left an empty ditch by the sudden subsidence
of water.
The whole army at MilUken’s Bend was in
motion when the steamers left. They marched
across, leaving all their baggage behind, in
cluding their tents. Such heavy articles as
arc needed below can he run past the bat
teries, and almost nightly, some barge or
scow is sent down.
On Saturday night, two tugs, each towing
two barges loaded with bay, went by tbe bat
teries in perfect safety, not a shot being fired
by the rebels.
It is stated on good authority, that a large
part of our forces have crossed the river to
Grand Gulf, and sanguine ones say they are
already many miles up Black River.
The monotony below is fairly broken up,
and stirring events must be in the near future.
Gen. Grant, it is said, has complete knowledge
of the strength of the rebel garrison at Vicks
burg, and of the position of every battery and
gun. Both officers and men anticipate a great
victory.
[From Our Special Correspondent.]
HXADQUABTEHS THIRTEENTH ARMT CORPS, 1
Before Grand Gulp. Miss., V
Aprll 24,1883. )
Yesterday (Thursday) morning, Major Gen.
MeCleruand and staff embarked on board tho
gunboat Gen. Price, at Carthage, and steamed
down to the now noted Grand Gulf, at the
mouth of Black River, destined, perhaps, like
Vicksburg, to become turnons in history.
When within two miles, we stopped and tried
to coax a shot. We fired at them repeatedly,
but got no response. Guns, indeed, wo
could see, bnt they were not need that day.
The Gulf, from which the place lakes Us
name, is a basin of water formed by a great
eddy on the left of tho channel of the river.
It is about one mile In width, from north to
south, and reaching inland a mile and a half.
At the eastern curve, the Black River enters
from the north.
Of course, I cannot give you military news.
But I can tell you wo have a splendid army,
well provided with all that is necessary, com
manded by fighting Generals, and you need
not expect they will be idlcV We arc not
cutting canals now, but boldly pushing the
enemy. We have plenty of rations, ammuni
tion and forage, and arc In the richest section
of rcbcldom.
We made our examination, and as the reb
els would not notice us, we returned to
camp.
Major General Grant arrived last night, and
to-day visited Grand Gulf, or as near it as the
enemy’s guns will permit. As I write, the
roar of artillery tells that be too is tempting
them to try tbeir metal—with what result we
canuot now tell. Their only effort to return
lire, was on the first appearance ot our gun
boats, when they made some good shots, but
did no damage. The army is now right end
foremost, and under our Indefatigable leaders,
action and progress may be expected.

■Washington, April SO.—Dispatches from
from Gen. Banks to the President this eve
ning confidently declare the inability of the
rebels to reconstruct their military poworin
Louisiana in less than three months, if at all,
Be more than confirms all the published re
ports of onr successes. The President, point
ing on a map to the region about and below
Port Hudson, plajlully remarked, “that
concern is closed up.”
The lots and buildings occupied as the office
of the XiTHonol TuttUigniar were sold this af
ternoon for *60,100. The competition in bid
ding was spirited. There are about
12,000 square feel ol ground. This is the lar
gest sale of real estate ever offered in Wash

as indicative of confidence moneyed men have
in the stability of the value of property.
officer of Commodore Farragut's fleet,
writing here, says that a rebel officer, lately
captured near Port Hudson, confessed that
had the attack upon thatplacc been persevered
in for an hour longer, the rebels would have
been forced to abandon it, so fierce was the
fire of onr gunboats. A short time before the
firing censea, an order was issued by the re

FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA.
The Rebels Return in Force.
COL. (MULLIGAN DEFEATED
AT FAIRMOUNT.
Great Excitement at Pitts-
Pittsuubo, May 1. —There is great excite
ment to-day here in consequence of reports
from Morgantown. Gen. Howe received a
letter from Major Showalter, showing that
the rebels had defeated Col. Mulligan at Fair
mount, and were returning to Morgantown in
lorce, having received reinforcements from
Beverley.
A letter from Col. Oliphant confirms this
report, stating that unless reinforcements
were immediately sent from here the whole
of thcMiitricl would ho at the mercy of the
enemy.
A meeting was held at Gen. Howe’s office,
at which Gov. Pierpont, of Virginia, Senator
Willey, Col. Cross, commander of the post
here, and several of the most influential citi
zens were present. After earnest discussion,
it was decided that nothing could be done for
waut of proper authority.
Tbe leu o’clock train to-day from Union
town brought Sergeant Boston of the Provost
guard, one of the scouts sent by Captain
Wright, who went sisfar as Morgantown, He
states that the rebels number 4,000.
A special messenger arrived here last night
from Greensboro, ten miles from Morgan
town, with intelligence that Col. Mulligan
had attacked a small force under the rebel
leader Jones, and was getting the better of
himjwhen the enemy was reinforced by a large
force under Imbodcn, by tbe Evansville Pike,
and by Herman, by Julian Creek, so that Col.
Mulligan’s little force was nearly surrounded
and had to retire.
No troops have yet left here, but two regi
ments are fully equipped, and could be sent
immediately should Governor Curtin call them
out..
New York, May 1. —Accounts, believed to
be reliable, state that in the recent raid into
Morgantown, Va., the rebels, numbering
2,000, all cavalry, under the guerilla Jenkins,
they shot Lieut. Herman, of the Ist Virginia
loyal regiment, who was visiting his home on
a furlough, and stole fifty horses and ail avail,
able property. No women or children were
molested. They went Sonth on Tuesday,
Alter sending out foraging parties, and steal
ing hundreds of horses in other places, there
is reason to believe they came to secure plun
der, and enforce ‘.the rebel conscription in
■Western Virginia.
[From the Baltimore Son of Wednesday.]
It appears that the first intimation of any
movement northward in Western Virginia to
ward the line of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, was an attack on Beverly, in the Cheat
Mountains, some iifiy miles south of Grafton,
upon several companies of Federal troops un
der Col. Latham, by a cavalry force, with ar
tillery. It is reported that Col. Latham had
to retire from the position.
Considerable anxiety was felt abont the
condition of affairs at Grnlton, which is the
most important station between Piedmont
and Wheeling, beind the junction of the Par
kersburg road. Colonel Mulligan of Lexing
ton fame, was in command there on Sunday,
with a considerable force, and being attacked
on Monday in the neighborhood, drove the
Confederates to the southward, since which
nothing has been heard of the situation there.
The telegraph operators at Grafton, taking
the panic on Monday afternoon, removed or
broke their instruments, and no dispatches
from that place have been received since then.
General Roberts, with another considerable
force, is not far off, while General Kelley, in
; chief command of that district, under Major
General Schcnck, is co-operating effectively
in another quarter.
The Northwestern Virginia railroad, it ap
pears, has been a sufferer in the present raid.
Gen. Schenck received information at a late
boar on Monday night from Clarksburg, ou
that road, announcing the fact that from a 1
deemed military necessity, the railroodbridge,
situated a few miles from Clarksburg, toward
Grafton, had been destroyed by the Federal
forces. This was done without any orders
from Gen. Schenck. The bridge, however,
will be rebuilt in a few days.
. At a late hour lost night, information was
received from Col. Mulligaato the effect that
he bud succeeded in sustaining himself at
Grafton; also, that he was then marching bis
command to an Important station on the
road, which would insure its salcty. Dis
patches were also received stating that infor
mation had been obtained of the burning of
the railroad bridge at Mannlngton Station,
about fifty miles from Wheeling.
Washington. May 1,1563.
What Gen. Banks has
Washington, May I.—' The Xaiional Repub
lican of this afternoon publishes semi-official
dispatches from Gen. Banks, dated near St.
Martinsville, April 17th, from which it ap
pears that when ho left Baton Rouge three
regiments of colored troops remained for its
defence. The results, among others, of Gen.
Banks’ expedition are: accomplishing a march
of 300 miles, beating the enemy in three bat-
tics—two on land and one on Grand Lake —
dispersing the rebel army utterly, destroying
the rebel navy, capturing the foundries of the
enemy at Franklin and New Iberia, and de
molishing the salt works ten miles south
west of the latter place, capturing the camp
equipages of the enemy, also several guns,
and nearly 200 prisoners, and so deranging
the plans of the rebels that they cannot for
some months, if ever, re-organize.
The successes of Gen. Banks, already
known to the public, arc mentioned.
Our loss in the two Last battles was about
600 or TOO. Nothing could exceed the con
duct of the officers and privates in Banks’
command. The dispatches say, we have not
only destroyed the army aud navy of the ene
my, and captured his materials for reorgani
zation, but wc have also in our possession his
ablest officers of the sea and land.

[Correspondence of the N.Y. Herald.]
The ’boasted spot of Southern rural gran
deur—.** The Country of the Attakapas,”
**The Garden of Louisiana,” “Tho Paradise
of the South*’—is ours.
From Berwick city to Opelousas the victo
rious army of Gen. Banks has advanced.
Three battles, three gunboats and three trans
ports the enemy has lost in three days. Twice
were they defeated by the main army of Gen.
Banks, behind their entrenchments on the
Beasland plantation, between Pattcraonville
and Centrevllle, as the straggling tire and final
silence of their guns in the nice of onr batte
ries, on Sunday and Monday, fully proved,
while Grover, at the same time, was reaching
their rear, harrossing, engaging, and finally
driving them before him with such rapidity
that they were compelled to make a stand on
Monday, at Irish Bend, where a sharp, and
decisive battle was fought, in which the rebels
were defeated and fled Into the woods.
Three gunboats—the Diana, Hart and Queen
of the West —are no more. The two former
were fired in the Teche by the rebels, to pre
vent their falling into our hands—the former
on Monday, the latter on Tuesday—while the
Union gunboats, EstcUa, Calhoun and Arizona
at 10 o’clock on Tuesday morning, discovered,
attacked and destroyed, in Grand Lake, the
famous ram Queen of the West.
Three large transports—the Newsboy, Gos
samer, and Era No. S—which were lying at
Franklin, were also destroyed by fire, as it
was found impossible to get up steam and es
cape up or down tho Teche before our troops
would overtake and seize them. The conse
quence was that, like the Diana and Hart, they
were burned to prevent their falling into our
hands. *******

GEN. BANKS* FREE LABOR PLAN.
The New Bedford JTercury publishes an ex
tract from a letter from an officer in the 3Sth
Massachusetts volunteers, dated Berwick
City, La,, April 10, which says;
“We passed many immense plantations,
whose standing cane showed the sece*h ab
sentee, whosefoars dictated flight when Weit
zel came in last jear. Others had been clear
ed, crops sold and work going on well. These
last are being worked by free labor on Gen.
Banks’ new plan. I am told tbe scheme is
apparently a success here, and it is believed
the region will, if it escapes the ravages of
'war, produce a large return iu sugar and
molasses. I had much conversation with the
railroad superintendent, n keen Connecticut
officer, who is perfectly convinced of tbe
practicability ot Banks*‘free labor scheme
from a fnll year’s observation. He has 2,500
under his control. He says he Is perfectly
convinced, 100, of the perfect feasibility of
employing white labor. The health of his
numerous white employees last year was bet
ter than that of his blacks.”

was committed after the victims had surren

The,act was committed near HsirtsviUe, and

the scene of horror on the next Wedncsdiy

UIT£K FKO.n MEXICO.
Rumored Repulse of the French.
San Francisco, April S3.—T*:c German
Dnnokrat ol this city publishes a letter, dated
“ rixty miles southeast of Acapulco, Mexico,
April ISthv’ giving oue day’s later news from
Puebla. The leiter s-ays: An express has just
arrived from the city of Mexico, April 9th.
On the sth and Cth, the French, after severe
fightiugand suffering great slaughter, retained
possession of a portion of Puebla. On the
7th, the Mexicans repulsed them, with s'ill
greater slaughter, driving them at the point
of the bayonet beyond the outposts of the
city. The French then retired to Cholula,
seven miles from Puebla, and were fortifying.
There Is no means of knowing whether this
news comes from a reliable source or not.
The Denwkmt seems to credit it.
[From the N. Y. Times, ?W}
The following is an extract from a let
ter written by a highly intelligent American
gentleman, residing'iu the City of Mexico. 1 ! ,
is dated April 1:
44 The French arc doimr their best In attack
ing Pnebla, and have been bombarding, can
nonading and assaulting, bnt, so far, without
success. On the contrary, the Moslems have
shown themselves the best soldiers and have
carried off all the glory. I believe the Mex
icans will triumph there. On the night of
the 27th nit., a furious assault was made on the
fort of San Javier, southwest angle of the city,
bnt was repulsed with great loss on the part
of French. The Mexicans drew out their arid-
kry into the open field hi front of Uiclr for
tifications, and fonght there without cover,
perhaps to prove their capacity of doing thus
to the French, who have said they were too
cowardly. On the 30th, Comonfort, with his
army ot the centre outside the city, offered
battle in the open field, which the French de
clined. retreating to their intrenchments. I
think the French will soon have to retire
from the siege for want of provisions ; and as
they will notT probably leave the country un
less pursued and compelled to do so, they
will, I suppose, remain inactive, as for the
past year, and await reinforcements.
