IIEADQUAFTERS OF FITE Sorrrr,
U. S. Transport Ben Defuid, Apr. 8.
ADMIRAL S. P. De PONT,
Flag Ship Area Ironsidcs, ofFort Sureer
Anu . tuAL—Not knowing yet what have
been the results olyour attack of yesterday
eo far es Fort Sumter is concerned, f
,cannot
but congratulate you on the magnifiernt
summer in which the vessels inter your
,command were fought ;
A mere spectator I could do nothing,
_but
pray for you,which, believe me, 4 did most
heartily, for you and for nld the gallant men
under your command, who *led so calmly
and fearlessly into and under and through
a concentric ft,r,e which hos neyer heretofore
had a parallel irk the history of warfare.
That yoµ are uninjured and so many of
the vessels of your command are fit for
service is a cause of deke.p gratitude to Al
mighty God. I confess when the Weelmsr
ken first ran under Sumter's guns receiving
the eosemate nod Pfrbetke hrnelsides from
that -work simultaneously with the similar
broadclide from Fort Moultrie and all the
ether works within range, I fairly held ray
breath until Alm smoke had plectron away,
not expecting to see a vestige of the little
meet which had frovokeJ such an attack.
With each of the others the same scene was
.enacted, my interest in the fute of thereon
aides-being, _perhaps, the keenest groin my
knowledge of her comparative vulnerability
and of the deep loss the country would
sustain if anything were to happen to you.
Thank God for the results so far as they
go. May lie bays you in big keeping
throngh whatever chances are yet before
you. No canary can ever fail that bee
men capably of sulfering what your iron
clade had
. yesterday to endure. God bless
you and keep you safe, Admiral, and be
lieve me, with the highest esteem.

The traospart Northerner left Newborn
,on the 7th, with eight hundred men of Spi

batteries she was forced to return.—
There was no ono hurt on the trip. Gen.

On the sth, a force of :3,000 man left New•
born by way_of Neuse ricer, under Gen.
french to reinforce Foster; but, meeting
with a superior force of Rebels, returned to
Plewberp, OP which place the Rebels were
marching.
The condition of Goo. Foster's forces was
extremely criticol, and their capture within
a limas). period wc-o deemed nearly certain.
intelligence reaches us from the headquar
term of Gen. Palmer, commanding at New
bern, through an officer who arrived here
on the Dudley Buck, that Gen. Foster had
provisions sufficient only for the use of hie
troops up to the 11th inst. The Dudley
Buck left Newbern on the 9th. and touched
at Fortress Monroe, where a rumor had
been received that Gen. Foster had surren
dered. There was, hoverer, no evidence,
so far as known, of the truth of this report.
Well informed persons who arrayed on ;he
Dudley Suck, deny the statement that the
reinforcement of eight thousand troops
which was senr. to General Foster had re
turned to Newborn, though it was on its
way to that place. A part of Slut baggage
Olga and artillery bad, it was reported, been
inextricably Sled in the mud, and could not
be brought to Newborn even if the Federal
forges should be able to make' their way
thither.
There was some donbt, however, in regard
to theiF *Laity to escape the rebels. A re
mark alone of the efficers at Newbern, just
before the Dudley Beck put off, on Thurs
day evening. correctly indicated the state
.of efeirs: "If our forces reach ns, we are

The gunboat Talley City had passed the
rebel batteries below little Washington.
Three gunboats, the Miami , the Delaware
and the Valley City, were despatched from
Fortress Monroe on Mondayer Tuesdey last,
to Little Washington.
The Valley City only had passed up. She
was riddled with cannon balls, and was
deemed to be n.larly useless. She carried
no troops but it is believed she took a quan
tity of ammucitiou. The Miami had gone
up. Nu intelligence bad reached N'ewbero
e meerning the Delaware.
Ta, gunboats o.t Little Washington are
stated to be the Louisiana, the Commodore
ALI% and the Yalley City. Only the
Louisiana is fit for service.
Gen, Foster will, thereforp, he compelled
to depend upon himself almost exclusively,
unless the other gunboats which were or
defed tu his assistance reach him.
NEW Yurtz, 4pril 13.—The gunboat
Valley City, which passed the rebel batteries
below Washington, N. C.. to Qen. Finger's
assistance, was struck sixty-three times.—
Her hate was not eubsecprOntly known.
A letter from Colonel Sissel, an officer un
der General Foster, under date of the 9th,
says the latter can not holdout much longer
being short of provisions aid completely

A special despatch to the Boston lAralci,
dated 'Newborn, April 9, says:
"A reconnoitering cavalry force, which
was sent out overland, on Tuesday encoun
tered a strong force of the rebel pickets ton
miles from here, and drove them in five
miles. Yesterday a large force went over
the Zieuse river on an overland expediiion,
to the relief of General Foster. A trans
portation train was taken across the river
last night to the place where the expedition
is encamped. Every prAcs.ution is being
taken against a surprise here. It is expect
ed that there will be some hard fighting up
the road. The rebels are reported to be in
immense numbers, and it is rumored that
General Lee is in command."
An officer who arrived here to-dsy in the
eteamer Dudley Book saye that General
Foeteraitd provisions sufficient only forthe
use of is troops to the 11th inst.
Well informed persons deny the state
ment that the large reinforcements which
were sent overland from Newbern had re

••We think the boys with Gen. Poster are
safe from capture, but wait noxiously to
hear from them.
"General Amery's brigade started over

proved that 2000 rebels were between here
and Washington.
"The report to day is that our Cul. Lee

sence. The Gen. loft for Suffolk this morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
The enemy in force are in close proximity
to our lines at Suffolk, but no general en
gagement is anticipated unless the attack is
made by the Union forces, which is more
than probable.
In regard to affairs at Williamsburg. the
"Cavalier" of to-day says "Governor Wise
bas commenced entrenching the other side
of Williamsburg. lle has orders. to take
Fort Magruder at all haiards, and as be is
afraid to make au assault, he has retorted
to digging."
Rebel prisoners say that there was to
have been a simultaneous attack upon
Washington. ISI. C., Suffolk, Ye., Gloucester
'Paint. and Williamsburg, or Fort Magru
der. The attack on Gloucester Point was
to have been made by Gen. Fitxhugh Lee.
These plans have probably been somewhat
`interfered with by the reconnoissarum of the
9th Delaware regiment and the Union gun
boats up the York river.

The ILuse very justly granted a month's .

rations. As the soldiers received no cloth

about the same thing for the privates. Boys,

EDW.tRDS AND SOORET'S CONCERT.—As
announced, Edwards d Shorey's Troupe
gave an entertainment in Odd Fellows'Jiall
on Tuesday evening, which was attended
by 'alarge number of our most respectable
citizens. The hall was well filled, and for a
time bo th
c entertainers and entertained had
good reason fur satisfaction—the former in
the promise of a successful run; the latter
in the fun well gotten off by the Company.
The eatisfacticn was short lived, however.
There was early indication of a deposition
on the part of one of the performers to make
pblitical points, which, as long as they
simply bore upon either party were quietly
passed by on the part of the audience.
When, these allusions changed to undis
guised ridicule of the government, and its
most necessary measures, our leading Gen
erals and finally of the late repulse of our
Beet at Charleston, the patience of the hear
ers was exhausted and the offender was
hissed. Luckily fur his hide a large pro
portion of the audience was made up of
quiet, orderly citizens, who showed their
disapprobation by leaving the room. An
explanation was attempted, but the per
, formers were not permitted to proceed with
the entertainment. The blackguard who
so insulted the audience may consider him
self very fortunate in being allowed to leave
the Hall by the door and not the window.
The Company was advertised to perform
next evening, but anticipating a disturbance
the proprietors of the Hall refused to open
it fur that purpose—a wise precaution, for
in spite of every effort on the part of the
managers a.xow would most certainly have
ensued. In justice to Messrs. Edwirds &
Shorey we must exonerate them from any
intentional offence, end we feel that in los
ing the certain profits of a successful run
here, they are made to suffer for the dis
graceful conduct of one of their employees.
Mr. Edwards was absent from the Hall at
the time of the disturbance, and returnad
too late to stop the performer at a point
where explanation and apology would have
been accepted. They were desirous of an•
opportunity to come again before our citi
zens and endeavor to remove the impression
created by a performer whom they dismiss
ed, and who they state was drunk at the
time, but we question whether a distur
bance could have been avoided. The people
of Columbia were naturally exasperated at
the insult, and not disposed to lay the blame
entirely upon one head. The managers be
fore leaving town requested us to state for
them that they sincerely regret the occur
rence, and that they hope to be able to
prove to the citizens of Columbia their en
tire freedom from sympathy with the ob
noxious sentiments expressed by aferformer
whom they dismissed in disgrace.

((snowing notice of it from the llarrisbnrg
Telegraph of a few days ago:
"This magnificent panorama was greeted
by an immense &affiance last night, who
showed by their unbounded enthusiasm their
appreciation of this great work of art. In
these warlike times it woul•i be a difficult
tack to select any family whose pain'i - ithins
is not represented in this contest; and wheth
er it be a father, husband, son or lover, who
has gone forth to contribute his support to
uphold the dignity of our flag, it*is a source
of pride and consolation to those who are
left behind to be enabled to witness their
achievements,and follow them in their gla

of the battle field, where they are now fight

is nothing in these paintings exaggerated,
- nor is there any display of the heeled ima
gination from the brain of the artists; they
aro correct representations of facts, and as
such they are received by those who witness
them. The march of the New Yotk 7th Re
giment down Broadway, is e sufficient guar
antee of the fact of the artists. The pers
pective in this Beene is admirably shown
and a person can almost fancy himself
standing on the balcony of the St. Nicholas

HEADQUARTERS 150111 REGT. P. V.
April 11th, 1863.
DEAR. Srr:—l will try to keep you posted
in the action of the army in Virginia. The
past week has been a week of bustle with
the Army of the Potomac, the President
and family_being here to review as,
On Monday the cavalry was reviewed:
there were regiments on review, a
sight not often seen in any army. They all
presented a fine appearance.
On Thursday, the let Army Corps was
reviewed by the President and family, Gen:
[looker and Staff, with a number of others.
Our brigade was on the march by eight in
the morning to a large rain on the bank of
the Potomac river, some three miles below
the month of the Potomac creek. At 11
o'clock the corps had all assembled and
were drawn up in line impatiently awaiting
the arrival of the President. He, however,
did not arrive until 2 o'clock. When the
President and his aids came in view the
artillery boomed forth its salutes of welcome.
The President passed along the entire line
with his head bared. The troops all looked
well and mantled with the precision of reg
ulars. While marching in review many of
the colors of the regiments bore indications
of having passed through several battles,
some of them being almost shot away.
Everything here indicates a forward move
ment soon: not many days will elapse be
fore the Army of the Potomac will be en-
gaged with the Robs.
This, the Third, Division is composed of
two brigades. The first is composed of the
121st, 135th, 142nd and 151st Regts. Penna.
Vols., commanded by Brig. Gen. Reidy.—
The second is made up of the 143rd, 149th
and 150th Regts. Penna. Vols., commanded
by Roy Stone, Colonel of 149th Regt. P. V.
The First Brigade are all nine month's men.
Their term will soon expire and they will
return home, let us hope to re-enlist fur the
war. Captain "Bowery" should return to
the service with a full company of his
bravos.
The men of the 150th Regt. are enjoying
good health, are well clothed, well fed, and
anaione to meet the Rohs Our regt. has
been complimented for its good discipline.
Kind regards to all our friends.
