The following despatch from General Shields to Senator Bice, dated Winchester, to day, was read in the Senate this afternoon: **Oo the morning of the 23d ( my command, 7,000 to 8,000 strong, eras attacked near this place by Jackson, with eleven regiments of infantry, the Irish battalion, about 1600 cavalry, and 28 pieces of artillery. After a severe fight, the enemy were pat in complete root, leaving behind two pieces of cannon, lb nr caissons, and a large number of small arms, besides abont three hundred prisoners. Oar loss is one hundred and fifty killed, and three hundred wounded. The enemy's loss is five hundred killed end one thoneand wounded.** WniCHwm, March 26. P. M. We expect to obtain a list of the killed and wounded on both sides to-night. Oapt A. H. Brown, of the Fourth Ohio, has been ap pointed deputy provost marshal. A committee of eitizens, in conjunction with the Mayor and provost marshal, have buried all the rebel dead which have been brought to town. Eighty-five were buried on the battlefield, and 128 on the roadside, between here and Strasburg. . Two hundred and thirty-fire prisoners have been sent to Baltimore. Others are on their way here. A newspaper from Strasbarg states that General John son was to have Joined Jackson at Strasburg, but subse quently sent him word that he eould not Join him till Monday night. Their combined forces would have amounted to from 25.000 to 30,000. The rebels were en deavoring to keep General Banks from moving to another point, but Jackson, being falsely Informed that our troops had nearly all left Winchester, hazarded his fatal advance alone. Thousands of persons are visiting the battle-ground and bringing off mementoes of the terrible fight. Our pickets are rix miles beyond Btrasburg. Jackson was not In sight. AH the fences, trees, and ground along the route show the terrible eff-ct of our artillery on the retreating enemy. Gen. Bhlelds' arm has been reset. His condition is now comfortable, and be will probably be able to resume active dntiee in two weeks. Coaid Gan* Patterson have taken Win cheater I—Johnston’s March to 801 l I have bad frequent conversations with residents relative to the three months campaign, and all unite in expressing tbe opinion that bad General Patterson advanced upon Winchester when he left Banker Hill, be would have been disastrously routed. Johnston bad made every arrange ment to give him a warm reception. He had between thirty and forty thousand men, including a large force of cavalry, a number of light and heavy batteries, and the fortifications were well mounted. Had General Patterson moved directly upon the town upon his arrival at Martins bnrg, his chances for success would have been more flatter ing, as the fortifications were unfinished, and Johnston’s force was by no means as large as it was a few days later. The sudden departure of Johnston for Ball Ran, in Jnly last, Is still referred to by Secession sympathizers here as the greatest military movement of the age. Tbe authori ties at Richmond bad refused to permit the rebel General to leave Winchester, but when he received Information of the fight of the 19th be threw out a large force of cavalry, as if preliminary to a movement upon Patterson, and while apparently threatening, was rapidly marching bis army to Manassas in two divisions—one via Btrasburg, and the other by the way of Piedmont. The result of tbe ma noeuvre was made known on the Sunday following.—Win chater Correspondence of Philadelphia Inquirer. The Battle Near Winchester-Total Rout of the Rebel*. Winchester, March 25. On Saturday the rebels advanced upon Winchester, under Generals Jackson, Longstreet and Smith, and drove in onr pickets with their cavalry. They approached within three mile* of the towo, and, bringing up a battery of artillery, they commenced playing on onr troops. Gen. Bhielas ordered Robinsoa’s Ohio Battery to return the fire, and, while he was directing the operation, the splinter of a rebel shell struck him on tbe left arm. and disabled it instantly. One man and horse killed, belong ing to the battery, wore the only casualties besides this, on our side, that day. The rebel loss is supposed to be twelve men. A few of our pickets were captured. At night, both armies drew up in front of each other, and awaited morning to renew the contest. Tbe rebel force was seven thousand infantry, twenty-eight pieces of artillery, and twelve hundred cavalry. On Sunday morning, at ten o’clock, the rebels received reinforcements, under Gen. Garnett, amounting to five thousand more. Tbe Union forces did not exceed ten thousand men, and, with the exception of about five hun dred, were of General Shield’s Division exclusively. At half past ten the enemy made a feint on our left, com manded by Acting Brigadier General Sullivan, opening a heavy fire of artillery, while the real attack was directed against our right, with the object of flanking It General Kimble commanded on the right, where the heaviest fight ing was done. There tbe enemy were strongly posted in woods and behind a stone wall, and the rebel artillery was posted on eminences on both sides of their left wing. Our whole artillery force engaged, consisted of four batteries, twenty-four pieces in all. The contest raged furiously till threeo’dock in the after noon, tbe fighting beiDg done chiefly by the artillery and musketry, at a range of not moro than three or four hun dred yards, and often much less. The rebel infantry opposite our right now debouched from the woods and attempted to capture Doad’s battery, by a charge. Tbe first effort was nearly successful, but the heavy discharge of grape compelled them to retire In con fusion. A second and weaker attempt likewise failed, and the enemy fell back, with heavy loss, behind the stone parapet. Gen. Tyler now ordered bis brigade to charge the enemy's batteries on tbe left, and a most deadly encounter followed. Twice our men reeled under the storm, but in tbe third effort they routed the rebels with tremendous slaughter and load cheering, capturing two of their guns adc! four caissons. Our loss In these struggles was heavy. Out of three hundred men engaged in the Kighty-Fourth Pennsylvania, tweoty-six were killed aod eighty-three wounded. Colooel Murray fell, leading this gallant corps forward, and many other dasMng offlors were killed or wounded. The Fifth and Eighth Ohio shared the glory aod the losses with the Eighty-Fourth, and the Third Virginia Regiment also suf fered. Lieut. Colonel Thoburn, commanding this corps, was severelv wounded leading it forward to the last charge. The enemy’s killed and wounded strewed the ground now in profusion, and their left wing was utterly broken, and their centre wavering. On their side, the Fourth aod Fifth Virginia Regiments suffered the most. The former was terribly decimated. Several attempts to rally the right wing failed, and to add to the confusion, the Irish battalion of a hundred and fifty men, when brought for ward and ordered to fire npon the Union troops, refused to fire, and a rebel regiment immediately drove this gnllant little band forward, bnt could not compel them to fire the Uolon army. The corpses of the hundred and fifty afterwards strewed tbe field. Meanwhile the rebelfl gave way on their left and contra, with a lobh of seven bnndrei killed and wonnded, and two hundred and thirty-six taken prisoners Besides these, about fifteen hundred muskets were taken, and many other valuable trophies. Our loss does nrt exceed one hundred killed and three hundred wounded. Tbo roar of musketry and cannon was incessant for aeveral hours, and particularly between two and six P. M. The rebels withdrew under cover of night, in some con fusion, and retreated about four miles towards Strasburg. Yesterday, Gen. Banks, at the head of a large force, pur sued them, and at last accounts they are at Strasburg, losing everything In their flight. THI EIGHTY FOURTH PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENT.

Island No. 10. x^^ 8 . ltlOD B hoW of rebels had not yet been taken at the latest accounts from the Bonthwe«t It ta eitthnUT maoh more strongly fortified than waa anUctpafod ,t the commencement of the bombardment two wwka aen a correspondent of a Cincinnati paper says: B prediction that the place will not be ta ■£*?**l4o(l force cooperate with the ann boats. The fortifications on the island are not the work of • pertup* not of a month. There is every evidsnoe that the ground was selected with a view to making a dee hot erected to be •WMpttM ontheapproach pf onr forces. How many baV fortes there ore it seems impossible to find ont. Every position our fleet sesames reveal* new defence*. We are now confident that we will have not lew than fifty gang to silence—a majority of them very heavy calibre too. “The Benton was supposed to be shot and bomb-proof, but it appear* that her deck, at least; is too thinly plated. Tbe Benton has not been in action before, bnt the other boats were all disabled at Fort Donelson, and Com.Feote detained them ten days or more at Cairo to strengthen them by the additfon of 8 inches more of oak timber to the vulnerable parts. We thonghs then he was making a mistake, and that it would have been better to have added to the loch iron plating and 12 inches of oak two or three inches more of iron-ptaUng instead rf eight inches of oak . Perhaps there were some obstacles or objections to this plan which are not known to us.here. “Evidently, however, what Com. Foote wants is some heavily plated gun-boats, like the Iferrimac, which ho could lay in close range to tbe batteries regardless of their heaviest ordnance. At almost every point where they have water batteries, tbe rebels are found to be la possession of large 128-pounders which will tear everything to pieces less than inch plating. They are no doubt English cannon, brought over in the Bermuda and other English steamers, which have run the blockade. They are said to be Armstrong guns, but this Is probably a mistake, as we believe the British government allow Done of these to be exported. They are probably Blakely guns, which are quite as effective as the Armstrong, tbe latter having only the great advantage of being much lighter and consequent ly handled and moved with greater facility.” Sew Madrid—Gen* Pope’* Official Report. General Pope’s official report of the capture of New Madrid, Missouri, dated March 14, is too long for publica tion, but the following extracts are interesting: “ A brief examination disclosed how hasty and precipi tate had been the flight of tbe enemy. *)beir dead were found unburled, their suppers untouched, standing on the table*, candles borniog in tbe tents, and every other evi dence of a disgracefnl panic. Private baggage of officers, and knapsaehs of men were left beblnd. Neither provi sions nor ammunition ware cat ried off. Some attempt was made to carry ammunition, as boxes wlthoat number were found on the bank of the river, where the steamers had been landed. “It is almost Impossible to give any exact account of the immense quantities of property and supplies left in our hands. All their artillery, field batteries and siege guns, amounting to thirty-three pieces; magazines full of fixed ammunition of the best ebaraetef; several thousand stand of iaferior small arms, with hundreds of boxes of muskets, cartridges, tents for an army of ten thousand men, horses, mule*, wagons, entrenching tools, Ac., are among the spoils. Nothing egeept the men escaped, and they only Hrlth'what they wore. 'They landed on the op posite side of the river, and are scattered in the wide bot toms. ; I immediately advanced Hamilton’s division into the place, and had the gnns of tbe enemy turned npon the river, which they completely commanded. “The flight of the enemy was so hasty that they abandoned their pickets, and gave no intimation to the forces at Island No. 10. The consequences is that one gun boat and ten large steamers, whieh were there, are cut off from below, and most either be destroyed or fall into our hands. Island No. 10 must necessarily be evacuated, as it can neither be reinforced nor supplied from below.” TAXATION, STATE AND GENERAL The Legislature having determined to ad journ sine die on the 11th of April, the project of revising the revenue laws of the State will be adjourned until the next regular session, unless indeed circurnstanoes should intervene requiring the Governor to call' an extra session, which is not now regarded as within the range of reasonable probability. At the extra session of Congress, in July last, a direct tax was apportioned among the several States, in proportion to their popula tion. Pennsylvania has provided for the pay ment of her quota by authorizing the Gover nor to Bet off any portion or all of the motfey advanced by the State to the Federal Govern ment on account of military expenditures.— This course obviates tbe necessity of a direct tax for this year. Our readers are aware that the Legislature at the extra session authorized a special loan of three millions of dollars, to be used in organizing, equipping, subsisting and transporting troops, all„of which was in the nature of an advance by the State to the Federal Government. Instead of the Govern ment paying back this money directly to the State, it is put to our credit on account of di rect taxes. By this course we avoid the ex pense of collecting the direct tax for the present year, and at the same time fail to rea lize the reality of direct taxation. Although it was recommended by the Governor, and met with the unanimous approval of the Legisla ture, we cannot avoid the conclusion that the policy of borrowing money to pay taxes was not the best course to pursue. The three millions war loan has become substantially a loan to pay the State's quota of direct taxes ; and the State is three millions deeper in debt than it was at this time last year. We do not design, however, to discuss this branch of the subject, having alluded to it merely to show that the direct tax for the pres ent year is already provided for, and that con sequently there is no absolute necessity for the revision of the revenue laws at the present session of the Legislature. Congress is now engaged in maturing a tax law which may be expected to pass sometime between this and next September, provided the Abolitionists can refrain from discussing emancipation, confis cation and like questions long enough to aff >rd time for the consideration of practical matters. The bill pending in the National House of Representatives is an indirect tax measure, embracing a great variety of subjects, but nothing of that direct nature capable of being apportioned among the States and collected by the State authorities. The General Govern ment will appoint its own agents for the col lection of stamp, excise, income and other taxes which will be imposed aDd received with out reference to the States. So the Legislature can really do nothing to assist the Federal Government in raising the revenue from these indirect sources. Next year an entire revision of the revenue laws of the State will become necessary, in order to pay direct United States taxes and to meet the extraordinary expenditures incurred by the State. These will amount to more than the public now anticipate. The military claims provided for under the bill recently passed by the Legislature will amount, it is said, to not less than two millions of dollars. By a joint resolution passed during the present week, the State has agreed to guarantee one million of dollars to induce the Government to con struct one or more iron-clad gunboats for the defence of Philadelphia and the Delaware river. For most of these expenditures the State will eventually be reimbursed by the Federal Gov eminent, but if we go on pursuing the policy of setting off these advances against direct taxation, it is easy to see that we are getting deeper and deeper in debt. When the time arrives for the meeting of the next Legislature we may be able to Bee pre cisely where we stand, and provide intelligi bly for taxation to meet all the liabilities of the State. —Patriot & Union. American Breadstdffs and Stocks in Europe. —The news by the steamer Africa, is represented in the New York commercial pa pers as extremely favorable for American produce and American securities. The French demand forbreadstuffs was improving, and in London American securities were firmer. — Though the intelligence of Fort Donelson and the fall of Nashville were not known at the time the Africa sailed, the public of Great Britain and France seemed to be forming a juster apprehension of the nature and pros pects of the contest, and realizing that the war would be over before midsummer. All the financial circulars report an increased inquiry for American securities, and the pri vate letters state the Bame thing. One letter from a leading London house to a house in Wall street, after alluding to the ease of money and anxiety of the speculators on the London Stock Exchange to find something new to operate in, goes on to say that one more victory on the part ot the North will undoubtedly lead to an active speculative demand for American securities. The Rejection of Jahes Leslie, Jr. —The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer , in his letter dated March 20, thus speaks of the rejection by the U. S. Senate, of little Jim Leslie : “ Considerable surprise lias been created here by the rejection by the Senate of James Leslie, Jr., Consul at Nice. Mr. Leslie was, at the time of his appointment, Chief Clerk ia the War Department, and his rejection efrows out of alleged corrupt practices while in that position. Senator Cowan made a scorching speeoh, in which ho charged the grossest corruption and simony against him. “ Leslie wjas appointed Chief Clerk by Secre tary Cameron, and some of the evidence ap peared to implicate the late Secretary with the fraudulent practices of his clerk.” |gy* The Republican State Convention of Rhode Island had not the courage to oppose Gov. Sprague, nor the manliness to support him. They know they cannot defeat his re election, and they therefore concluded not to nominate a candidate against him ; but they refused by a vote of 60 to 35, to support him ! This is the extent of Republican patriotism and no-partyism in Rhode Island ; they refuse, by a vote of nearly two to one, to endorse the man who is admitted to bav6 done more to sustain the Government and put down the rebellion than any other man in New England I— N. H. Patriot . The Memphis AppeaVs account of the battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, says the rebel -loss, in killed and wounded, was about 2,000. It confirms the death of Gens. McCulloch and Mclntosh, and says Gen. Slack of Mo. was mortally wounded, that Gen. Herbert fell and Gen. Price was wounded. This was undoubt edly the hardest-fought and bloodiest battle of the war. Jim Lane has been “ mustered out ” of the U. S. service by a general order. He ought to have, been didthmed out, to the tune of the Maroh, long ago. TMTf-SEVENTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION. In the Senate to-day, after the presentation of sundry memorials and resolutions, tbe joint resolu tion in regard to affording aid to the states in favor of emancipation was taken up. Mr. Banlsbnry spoke at length against the measure, and, in the coarse of his remarks, stated that the Legislature of Delaware had been in session recently, and a printed bill had found its way there, offering Delaware nine hundred thousand dollars for the emancipation of her slaves, and the Legislature rejected it. Mr. Davis offered an amendment, as a substitute for the resolntion, denying the right of the government to interfere with slavery in the states, bnt declaring that when the states or people may to emancipate their slaves, tbe United titates shall pay a reasonable price for the slaves so emancipated and the cost of coloniziog them in some other country. Fending the consideration of the resolntion, the morning hour having expired, the bill for the abolition of slavery in the Disinct.of Colombia was token np and a vote had on Mr. Davis’s amendment to colonize the ne groes. By the casting vote of the Vice-Fresident the amendment was rejected. Debate then followed npon the merits of the bill, bnt no action was taken npon it. iu the House the certificate of election of Joseph b. Segar, as representative from tbe First district of Virgiuia, was presented, and the papers in the case referred to the Committee on Elections. Mr. Dunn offered a resolntion, which was adopted, instructing the Committee on Ways and Means to inquire into the expediency of organizing a large force of miners, with the necessary machinery, to proceed to the gold mines of the West and work the same for the benefit of the government, as a means of defraying the ex penses of the war. Mr. Bice presented a resolution, which was referred, authorizing the {Secretary of the avy to expend a sum not exceeding fifty thousand dollars for ifie purpose of testing the plans for ren dering ships ahd floating batteries invulnerable.— Mr. Aocoua introduced a resolution, whioh lies over, requesting the {Secretary of War to inform the Bouse of the cause, if any, of the protracted delay in the release of Col. Corcoran, and that the Secretary be directed and requested to stop all exchanges of pris oners until Col. Corcoran is released. Mr. Wiokuffe introduced a bill to provide funds in part to pay the interest and principal on the public debt; the bill was referred to the appropriate commiftee. Besolu tions were introduced and referred, teadering the thanks of Congress to Lieut. Morns, of the Cumber land, and Ueu. Burnside, Commander Bowan and the officers and men under them for gallant services recently rendered. Mr. Ashley from the Committee on Territories, reported a bill to organize the terri tory of Arizona with the Wiimot proviso applicable to all territories. A motion to lay the bill on the table was negatived by a of 49 to 76, and con sideration thereof postponed till Monday. The tax bill was then taken np in Committee of the Whole, and several amendments adopted. Tuesday, March 25. In the Senate.to-day Mr. {Sumner from the Com mittee on Foreign Belations, reported back the bill in relation to administering the oath of aLlegianoe to American citizens in foreign countries. Tne res olution to transfer the superiniendency of the Capitol extension and dome from the War Department to the Department of the Interior was taken up and passed. The {Senate then took up the bill for tbe abolitiou of slavery in the District of Columbia, and Messrs. Wilson, Kennedy, Harlan, and riaulsbury proceeded to disouss the measure without result. Tne {Senate then adjourned. in the House the Senate bill providing for the set tlement of the accounts of the officers and orews of the liigates Congress and Cumberland was passed.— Consideration of the Faoifio Bailroad bill was post poned and made the special order for Tuesday next. The tax bill was then taken up and debated. Mr. Blair proposed a new clause to the bill, laying a tax of five dollars on eaoh slave for life and three dollars on those held for a term of years. After an exoited debate the whole proposition was defeated —ayes, 41; nays, 62. An amendment was adopted, provi ding that nothing contained in the bill shall be con strued to prevent any state from imposing taxes upon any articles therein taxed or lioences required. The committee rose and the House adjourned. Wednesday, March 26. In the Senate to-day, after the presentation of sundry memorials and petitions, Mr. Latham read an extract from the Detroit Tribune , which stated that a curious document had been found, showing that there was a league formed in Miohigan for the purpose of overthrowing the federal government. — The document was dated October 5, 1861, and said that the league was doing noble work in Maryland, and among the soldiers at Fortress Monroe. Ex- President Pierce was represented to be one of the most influential members of the league. The Tribune stated that the document was now in the possession Of the {State Department. At the request of Mr. Pierce Mr. Latham offered a resolution to the effect that the {Secretary of State transmit to the Senate copies of the correspondence referred to. Mr. Chand ler stated that he knew there was such an organiza tion, and it was very wide-spread. To his knowledge they had succeeded in getting a large number of the worst traitors into the federal army. An amendment was added to the resolution so as to include all other papers, and it was then passed. The joint resolution offering pecuniary aid to the states in oaso they should emancipate their slaves was taken np, and the substitute offered by Mr. Davis on Tuesday was disagreed to by yeas 4 ; nays 34. Mr. Henderson then offered au amendment to the resolution provi ding that nothing contained therein should be con strued to imply a willingness on the part ot Congress that any of the states should withdraw their allegi ance. The amendment was rejected, and further consideration of the subjeot postponed till to-day.— The bill to abolish slavery in the Distriot of Colum bia was taken up and further debated by Messrs. Wilkinson, Willey, and Carlile. Mr. Sautsbury’s amendment to distribute the slaves among the North ern and Western States was unanimously disagreed to. Mr. Pomeroy offered an amendment to the bill requiring the commissioners to make an equitable settlement between the master and slave. ia the House Mr. Dawes, ia behalf of the Govern ment Contract Committee, defended the committee from the charges made against them by Mr. Alexan der Cummings in a pamphlet issued by him. The House went into Committee of the Whole on the tax bill. Among other amendments adopted was a pro viso that thu tax on goods, wares, and merchandise manufactured pursuant to contr&ot under the act, shall be paid by the purchasers before delivery of the articles. Several sections of the bill were then acted upon, when the committee rose. Mr. Kice, from the Committee on Naval Affairs, reported joint resolu tions appropriating fifty thousand dollars to enable the Secretary of the Navy to test the plans and ma terials for rendering ships and floating batteries in vulnerable. Thursday, March 27. In the Senate to-day Mr. Hale offered a resolution, whioh was adopted, instructing the Committee on Naval Affairs to inquire into the alleged laxity on the part of the officers of the blockading squadron on the coast, especially at Charleston, aud whether there was aoy foundation in the statement of the British consul at that port, that armed troop ships of the Confederate States have been allowed to go in and out of the port of Charleston, and no attempts were made to stop them. The joint resolution, giv ing pecuniary aid to the states in case they should emancipate their slaves, was taken up, and Mr. Henderson made a speeoh in favor of it. Mr. Pearce from the Committee on Finance, reported a bill to allow arms ordered by the states to aid in the sup pression of the rebellion, to come in free of duty.— The naval appropriation bill was then taken up. Mr. Hale offered an amendment making an appropriation of $783,294 for the completion of the Stevens battery. This called forth considerable discussion, but no ac tion was taken upon it. Mr. Sherman offered a fur ther amendment, to the effect that in the sums ex pended for the completion of the vessel, it shall be stipulated that the payments by the United States of the sums expended by Mr. Stevens shall be contin gent on the succes of his vessel as an iron-clad war steamer, the same to be determined by the President. The Senate then weot into executive session. Id the House the consideration of the tax bill was resumed, and considerable debate thereon ensued. — Mr. Cox offered an amendment, which was adopted, taxing antnracite cool fifteen oents a ton, and bitu minous an eighth of a cent a bushel. Mr. Morrill offered a proviso to the amendment, whioh was agreed to, providing that no duties on coal shall be collected until the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty.

Burlington, N. J., March 28. Theßov. Samuel Aaron, a Baptist preacher of Mount Holly, N. J., attempted to deliver an abolition lecture at the City Hall last eve ning. He commenced by denouncing the Administration and avowing himself opposed to the manner in which the war was conducted, whereupon the crowd commenced hissiog and storming him with eggs. This produced much excitement, especially among tne ladies in the audience. Several of them jumped out of the windows. In the meanwhile the crowd was oryiDg, “kill him, tar and feather him.” The Mayor of the city was present, and endeavored to Btop the oonfusion, but did not sucoeed.— Finally Mr. Aaron withdrew, and was taken away byJus friends, No one was hurt so far as is known. ' It is a remarkable fact, that every Democrat, in view of the evident restoration of Federal authority, is now becoming a strong Union man. —Republican Paper . Not half so remarkable as that every Abo litionist in tbe country, who bas labored to stir up tbe bitter waters which are now spreading destruction over the land, should sot themselves up as patriots. A man cannot be a Democrat who is not a “ strong Union man," and hence the impudence of insinua ting thaf Democrats are just “becoming” Union men. There is one thing very clear; had there never been a Republican. party, there never would have been any need of a “restoration of the Federal authority*"— CZin ton Democrat. Monday, March 24. The catering of Yancey, Rost and Mann, to the anti-slavery feeling of Great Britain and the European Powers, astonish the South.— The Nashville Banner Bays this is quite a different view from wtat they urged before their people at home. Yancey & Co. assure Earl Russell that “it was not from fear that the* slaves would be liberated that secession took place. The very party in power has proposed to guarantee slavery to the States, if the South would but remain in the Union." Then why dissolve the Union ? This is the question the Soothern people, misled by these demagogues, are beginning to ask ! When it is learned that these Confederate representatives have offered to transfer Florida and a part of Louisiana, as hostages to France or England for their anthelavery reform, it will still more open the eyes of the Sooth. ~ Tbe Pyrotechnic factory of Professor Jackson, 10th and Reed street, was totally demolished by an ex plosion this morning. Five or six employees, in cluding a son of Prof. Jackson, were blown to frag ments ; one head being found two squares off. Ten or twelve others were shockingly burned, and were removed to hospitals. They were mostly boys and girls. [SECOND DESPATDH.j Philadelphia, March 29. Jackson had a large government contract for fill ing oartridges. The number of wounded is much larger than supposed. Three men, three boys, and fifteen girls, were removed to the hospital, and twenty-two others, including a daughter of Jackson, were removed to booses in the vioinity of the calam ity, where their injuries were attended to. Among the latter were Samuel Curtin and his three sisters —all badly injured. There were fifty girls, and twenty-foor boys and men employed in the faotory. fig?* The Peoria (111.) Udiod, of the llfch, says: “The election for city officers took place yesterday, and resulted in a glorious victory for tbe Democracy. The stumptail abolition party in Peoria has come to an igno minious end. All of the city officers, together with four out of the six aldermen eleoted, are Democrats."
