The fatter were reinforced on Sunday by Em ory's division. Grover's forces embarked at Brashear City, and proceeded into Grand Lake to a point called Indian Bead, above Franklin. This mare, if successfully accomplished, will bring the enemy between two fires, and cannot fail of good results. The rebel forces are estimated at eight thousand. On Sunday afternoon sharp skirmishing commenced between General Weitzel's advance and the rebels, the latter retreating towards Franklin. It was reported at New Orleans on the 13th that Gen. Weitzel was within six miles of Franklin. It was also rumored that Gen. Grant had appeared with a strung force upon the Red river. Oa the 9th inst., Col.

Official Account Wasrumarox, April 22.—The Navy De partment received the following official dis patch, dated S. STEAM SLOOP PENSACOLA, OFF New ORLEANS, April 13. On the morning of the 27th nit., about daybreak, Admiral Furragut, in the Hart ford, engaged the batteries at Warrenton, three miles below Vicksburg, and passed below it, On the morning of the 29th, be fore daylight, the Albatross, having taken in a full supply of provisions from a barge which had been floated down the previous morning by Admiral Porter, also passed the Warrenton batteries, and anchored near the flag ship. It was blowing quite heavy from the north, and on the morning of the 29th, about one A. M., the wharf boat Vicksburg hawing broken adrift from the moorings at the city, floated down and ran ashore oppo site to where the Hartford and Albatross were anchored. During the day an officer was sent on board the Vicksburg, but found that her machinery had all been removed, and she had nothing on board save four muskets and accoutrements, which probably belonged to the guard. 'While the Admiral was hesitating as to the propriety of retain ing her as a wharf boat, or rather depot, the rebels came down on the night of the 13th and burnt her. The Switzerland, Hartford and Albatross, being all filled with coal and provisions, floated down, passing Gen. Grant and Ad miral Porter in barges. The damages to the Switzerland being fully repaired, the vessel passed Warrenton on the morning of the 31st ultimo, and at daylight the little squadron got under way and proceeded down the river to Mr. Turner's plantation, where, on our passage up, we saw the wreck of the Indianola; we found no traces of the *reels, but learned that it had slid off into deep water during the late gale. We anchored at this place, and remained until about G. 30 P. M., when We got under way and procemr ed down, and engaged the battery at Grand Gulf. Tills battery consisted of some two or three heavy guns sent down from Vicks burg. One of these guns was mounted upon a steamer which had been concealed in the Big Black river. The enemy also had a light field battery. They struck the Swit zerland twice, doing no damage. The Al batross was not struck at all. The Hartford was struck only once, but this shot struck an iron hammock stanchion, threw a frag ment forward nearly half the length of the ship, and killed Jones, a landsman. This was the only casualty. We passed this battery in about fifteen minutes, and anchored below Grand Gulf for the night. At daylight on the Ist instant we got un der way and proceeded to the mouth of Red river, where we anchored about sundown, destroying in our passage down a large number of skiffs and flat-buats. We remained, blockading the river at its mouth, until the morning of the Gth inst., when we got under way at about 4.30 A. M., and proceeded down to Bayou Sara, where we stopped, seized upon and threw into tho river about ten thousand sacks of corn, and then proceeded on our way to Port Hudson, where we anchored about five miles above the batteries at 3 P. M. on the Gat.. O the evening of the ith, at 8.15, the writer of this communication (the Secretary of the Rear-Admiral) left the Hartford and boarded the Richmond off Baton Rouge, about 2A.M. on the Bth inst. The health of the squadron is good. Capture of the Rebel Battery on the Nausea:mod—Retreat of the Rebels. Wm:luxe:row, April 21.—The Secretary of the Nary has received the following: " U. S.

General Getty acted very handsomely throughout, and gallantly held the battery last night, aidel by the cross-fire of our vessels. "Yesterday the enemy unmasked a new and heavy battery situated on the head of West Branch near Milnorstown, Red Perry, and commanding the river Nansemond in the direction of Portsmouth.

Official Despatch from Gen. Dix. WASITINGTON, April . 21.—The following special despatch has been received at the headquarters of the Army: FORTRESS MO.NROE, April 19th. .114).-Cen. H. W. Balled; I deem it due to the forces at Suffolk to notice briefly their gallant conduct during the last six days. On Tuesday, General Peek's right was attacked and the enemy's advance was gal lantly met Colonel Foster's light troops, driving him back to the line of his pickets. Anderson's division was engaged at the same time on the water front with our gun boats and batteries, and suffered materially. On Wednesday a rebel battery of twenty pounder rifled guns was effectually silenced, and an attack on the Smith Briggs, an arm el Quartermaster's boat was repulsed. 'Repeated attempts have been made on our lines, but they have all been foiled. The storming of the enemy's battery, near the west branch of the Nansemond, by Gen. Getty, and the gunboats, under Lieut. Lam son, of the navy, and the capture of six guns and two hundred prisoners closes the opera tions of the six days against tho enemy's large force very satisfactory.

Gen. Wise, with 3000 men, still occupies Williamsburg, which he took during the battle. We only had a few pickets stationed there. In a late speech which Wise made to his troops, be stated that ho was waiting for reinforcements, and that when they ar rived he should renew the attack on Fort Magruder, which ho was going to take at any cost, and he knew that ha could do it. Wise men should should not be guilty of vain boasting. We hope he will try it• Yesterday Gen. E. D. Keyes sent a flag of truce bearing an order for the citizens of Williamsburg to leave the place immediate ly, as he was about to shell the town. Fort Magruder has been reinforced by some heavy guns, and a gunboa tints gone up the York river and one up the James river, on either side of. the town. It will be but a short time after the fire has been opened from each of these directions before Wil liamsburg will be one among the places that were. It will be a just retribution on the inhabitants, fur they are all bitter enemies to their country, and have been known to fire from the windows of their houses upon our soldiers repeatedly.—N. Y.
