THE LATEST WJJUfSWS.
A slight skirmish occurred on Saturday af
ternoon, between the forces of Gen. Shields,
and the Rebels, oo the" Strasborg road, four
miles from Winchester, in which we lost one
tnan. The despatches are very confused and
conflicting, but from the latest intelligence, it
appears that the conflict was renewed at 10
o'clock on Sunday morning, and Continued tin
dark. The enemy were under 1 Gen. Jackson,
Smith, and Lougstreet, 16,000 xtrong, while
onr forces numbered only B,oos. Our losv
in killed and wounded is cot ascertained—one
report says 150; the Rebels losing 100 killed,
and at least twice as many wounded. We have
taken a large number of prisoners,several guns
end caissons, and many small arms, the ground
beiag strews with the weapons which the
Rebels threw away in their flight. The rout
of the enemy appears to have been complete,
and our cavalry was still iu pursuit. Gen.
Shields was slightly wounded in the arm from
a fragment of shell.
A report is prevalent in naval and military
circles in Washington that New Orleans is now
under the Uniou flag, our mortar fleet having
attacked the Rebel fort at the Rigolettes with
in two days after the Ship Island steamer
sailed.
The latest reports by telegraph from Island
No. 10, indicate no chaDge. A balloon has
been sent to Com Foote for reconnoiteriog
purposes. There are numerous rumors that
the Rebels are eTacaating the Island, and
marching across the peninsula to Merriweath
ef's Landing ; and though it is impossible to
ascertain their truth, existing circumstances
favor them.
From the Tennessee we hare news that a
flood prevails in the river and its tributaries,
Geo. Grant had arrived at Savannah, Tetin.,
aud taken command of the expedition. Our
troops bare seized the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad near Savannah. Information in
regard to the enemy is still quite meager.—
His main force is supposed to be at Corinth,
Miss., where he will probably be able to con
centrate 50,000 troops. Our forces for the
most remain on board the transport.
The telegraph from Washington reports that
small squads of Rebel cavalry are scouring the
coootry withiu five miles of Mao&ssas, impres
sing Union men, and stealing or destroying all
the property they can find.
Jeff. Davis is bound to keep opeß his lines
of communication. According to The Mem
phis Appeal, the Confederate President is bound
West, where he is to rally all Secessiondom to
hi 3 standard —provided he dosen't slip off to
Mexico, meanwhile.
Iu the capture of Newborn, the 9th New-
Jersey Regiment sustained the honor of their
State with ch a; act eristic gallantry. Though
their position iu that brilliant engagement was
of great exposure,they bore themslves through
out the eoufiict like veterans, sufferioe more
severely than any other regiment on the field.
Out of a total loss of 364 killed and wounded,
they lost 62, or ooe-sixih of the whole,although
twelve or thirteen regimeol* were in ih battle.
Bravo for the Jersey Blues !
The Remaivs or Col. Camxrox Sent Home
—Tbe remains of Col Cameron, of the 79th
New York Highlanders, who was killed at
the battle of Ball Ran, bate been recovered
and were sent to Lewisburg via. Harrisbnrg.
The part* who started oat in search of the re
tains Immediately after the evacuation of
Manassas, was composed of Major A. V. El

colored man in the neighborhood.
The body had been baried with fiTe <: thers

More about the Battle and Capture of
Newbern.
About two miles below the city the rebels
had takeo op a strong position, and there
made a desperate stand. At that point took
place the main battle of the day Our troops
fought with spleudid and unflinching bravery
till the order wasgiveu to make the charge.
Then, at the point of the bayonet, they
drove the enemy from their place, and sent
them flying in an inglorious retreat, which
bad ail the characteristics of a panic. The
officers aud men disencumbered themselves of
their private property, aud leit all thiugs as
they fell from their bands. Haviag control of
the railroad in their rear, the rebels used it to
its fullest capacity, and made off to Golds
boro'; as they took with them many of their
dead and wounded, we can form only a rude
conjecture as to the extent of their loss. It
is thonght that, in spite of the fact of their
fighting under shelter, they must have soffered
as much as we. The loss on onr 6ide,
though not ascertained with entire accuracy,
is probably not far from sixty to seventy killed
and three hundred wounded.
The nomber of Union troops engaged in this
battle is not distinctly given, but it is proba
ble that we bad not far from eleven thousand,
the enemy is supposed to have had flfieeu I
thousand.
The value of the public property captcred
is enormous, consisting of fifty-three heavy
cannon and field pieces, ammunition, quarter
master's and commissary stores in large quan
-1 tities, cotton, Ac. Probably $2,000,000 would
not purchase the articles at first hand Cat
the victory is the more important from the fact
that it places Beaufort and Tort Macon at
our mercy, aud opens up to us by railroad the
direct lines of communication between the
rebel army and the country which supports it.
Gen. Burnside, in his official report, says :
" I must defer, for waut of time, a detailed
account of the action. It is enough to say
that, after an engagement of four hours, we
succeeded in carrying a continuous liue of
field works of over a mile in length, protected
on the river bank by a battery of thirteen
heavy gnns, and on the opposite bank by a
line of redoubts of over half a mile in length
for rifltmen and field-pieces, in the midst ot
swamps and dense forests, which lioe of works
was defended by eight regiments of infantry,
five hundred cavalry, and three batteries ot
field artillery, of six guns each. The pesitiou
was finally carried by a most gallnat charge of
our men, which enabled us to gain the rear of
all the batteries between this point and New
bern, which was done by a rapid advance of
the entire force up themain road and raiiroad,
the naval fleet meantime pushing its way up
the river throwing their shots into the forts
aod in front of us. The enemy after retreat
ing in great confusion, throwing away blank
ets, knapsacks, arms, Ac , across the railroad ,
bridge aud country road, burned the former
and destroyed the draw of the latter, thus pre
venting further pursuit, and causing detention
in occupying the town onr military force,
but the naval force had arrived at the wharves
and commanded it with their gnus. lat once
advanced Geo. Foster's brigade to take pos
session of the town by means of the naval ves
sels, which Commodore Rowan had kindly
voluuteered for the p-rpose. The city was
set on fire by the retreating rebels in many
places, but owiog to the exertions of the naval
officers, the remaining citizens wore induced to
a-d in extinguishing the flames, so thajt but
little harm has been done. Many of thl citi ,
zens are now returning, and we are now iu
quiet possession of the town. We have cap
tured the printing press, and shall at once
issue a daily sheet. By this victory our com
biced forces have captured eight batteries,
containing forty six heavy gu s, and three
batteries of light artillery of six guns each,
making in all sixty-four gnns, two steamboats,
a number of sailing vessels, wagons, horses, a
large quantity of ammunition, Commissary and
Quartermaster's stores, forage, the entire camp
equipage of the rebel troops, a large quantity I
of resin, turpentine, cotton, Ac , and over two i
hundred prisoners. Our loss, thus far ascer
tained, will amount to ninety-one killed and ,
four hundred and sixty-six wounded, many of
them mortally. Among these are some of onr
most gallant officers and mrn. The rebel loss
it severe, but not so great as our own, they
being effectually covered by their works."

The following despatch was received here
to-night:—
KANSAS CITV, March IS. —George T. Beale,
bearer of despatches to Washington, brings
advices from Santa Fe to the 3d inst. lie
confirms the previous accounts of the battle
at Fort Craig on the 21st ult. The Uuited
States troops lost sixty-two killed and one
hundred and forty wouuded. The Texans
captured six of our fitki-pieces. They were
commanded by Col. Steele. The Texans were
at Socareo, thirty eight rniies north of Fort
Craig. Col. Canby's command was concen
trated at Fort Craig. Nothing has been heard
from them since the 2oth nit., all cotnmunica
lion with the Fort being cut off
A large amount of government stores at
Albuquerque had been destroyed to prevent
them irorn falling into the hands of the rebels.
Four hundred and fifty Texans with two
pieces of artillery entered Albuquerque o:i the
second. Major Doneison, commanding the
district of Santa Fe, was preparing to aban
don that place and fail back to Fort Union
One hundred and fifty wagon loads of govern
ment stores were De-ing removed from Sauta
Fe to Fort Union.
On .Monday, the 3d, Mr. Beale met three
companies of Colorado volunteers, under L cut
Col. Tappan, at the Hole io the R>ck, fi y

McCie'iiau ordered that the main body of the

was made on Saturday, daring one of the se
Vere.-t ruin sto ma tLat ever visited tlm- see
tion of Virginia, iu fact, the rain had so swol
len the smaller streams on the route, that two
or three men and a large number of horses
were drowned in crossing. Alter a fatiguing
march the entire force —about 60,000 men—
reached Alexandria, and have doubtless ere
this gone down the Potomac in the fleet of

The order for this sudden aud unexpected
movement was issued by General McCSellan
within a few hours after his stirring address
to the Army, wherein he ottered thesi signifi

ment is, that McC'eiian ha* deU-rmintd that
the rebels sball be forced, by a scothern flank
movement to give battle before they have an
opportunity of retreating from Virginia. That
battle will* be the "decisive bat tie,''and it
