Our advance is driving the Rebels back, a* portion of Gen Sumner's division forcing a large body of them tb retreat across the Rappahannock, from Warrenton Junction, on Friday, Tbongh our troops shelled them as they crossed, the latter succeeded in burning the bridge before we could prevent it. In their haste, the enemy left a number of cars, loaded with graio and Other forage, which, with a lieoteuant and fonr privates, fell into our bands. Not a man was hurt: cn our side. The telegraph reports that we might have cnt the Rebels terribly, while they were carrying off their sick and wouh&d, but that, io mercy, our victorious soldiers stayed their bauds. Shipping Point was occapied by ns on Friday, the Rebels having left. The reported attack by Rebel cavalry on Fairfax Court Honse is not con firmed. We have intelligence of important movements in Virginia, but the public interest will not permit its publication at present. Van Born and Price, according to the tele graph, have gathered their shattered forces, and retreated entirely across the Boston Moun tains. They are now at Van Buren and Fort Smijth, 35,000 strong, receiving supplies from Memphis and Little Rock, via the Arkansas Rker. ft ia probable that Van Dorn will act in conjunction with Beauregard at Corinth, to hold* the line of the.Cotton States. Re-enforce ments were slowly joining the Rebels. The Union army of Gen. Curtis had fallen back to Keitsville, to secure forage, and were camped at the head of Cross Hollow,where it is plenty. From North Carolina |we have Newbern dates to the 26th inst. and Hatteras Inlet to the 28tb. The Nashville was reported to be safe at anchor at Beaufort. Another and later dispatch says that Beaufort had been taken by Gen. Burnside, and that no property what ever had been burned. Fort Macon had neither been blown np nor abandoned, bat was still hold by the Rebels, from 300 to 500 strong ; the place was invested, however, and tbo garrison must soon surrender. It is a little singular that we have not yet received any official report of the escape of the Nash ville, aod it is possible, therefore, that the story of her escape, like the evacuation and destruction of Fort Macon, may be a canard. The expedition to Washington consisted of 1,000 men. They landed without opposition, aod uailed the Stars and Stripes to a tree in front of the Court-House. After holding the place one day our troops retarued. The notrious brigand Quantrell continues his forays in Missouri. Ou the 26th ult. he at tacked a detachment of militia at Warrens burg, but was beaten off with a loss of 9 killed and 17 wounded. He renewed the attack on the town the following day, with what success was not kaown. A despatch from Island No. 10 says that after a tail the bombardment was renewed vigorously on Friday The Cairo correspon dent of the Ri. Louis Republican states that heavy firing was heard from the Island on that day. The Rebels had opened other new bat teries mounting,it was supposed, I*2B pounders, and were seen pushing forward new means of defense. They seemed to have no idea of evacuating but were daily getting more cannon in position. Four new Rebel gun boats, partly iron-clad,havc'appeared below Poiut Pleasant; but it is not supposed they will be able to pass Gen. Pope's batteries. Gen. Buell has assumed command f our forces in Mississippi, and at the latest advices was within fifteen miles of Beauregard, at Corinth. The Rebel Morgan's cavalry had captored another train on the Louisville aud Nashville Railroad, taking Col. Cureen Pcpe of Kentucky aud several ITuiou officers prison ers. A passenger in Washington from Winches ter reports that the rebels nuder Jackson were On Saturday still in flight beyond Strasburg. There is uo news from Fortress Monroe, be yoftd the mounting of the Lincoln gun, which throws a ball weighing 437 pounds almost to Sewalt's point. Oue of these " pills " would settle the Merrimac, probably, when she ven tures out. The Rebels tried one of their guns at Sewali's Point op the ships in the upper roadstead, but they were out of raugc. There was some appearance of activity toward Nor folk. On the night of the 26th inet., a force of from 500 to 800 Rebels attacked four compan ies of State militia at Hummonsville, Polk Coonty, Mo., and was defeated with a loss of 15 killed and a large number wounded. The casualties of our gallant little band were severely wounded, but none killed. Among the severely wounded were Capta. Stockton and Cosgrove. US/* A soldier writing from Newborn,N. C. says that peach trees are in full bloom, aod that vtgetatioo is coming forward very rapid- THE WINCHESTER FIGHT. —A telegram from Winchester informs us that a committee of citizens, Mayor and Provost Marshal have buried all the rebel dead, which have been brought to town ; eigthty five were buried on the battle field and one hundred and twenty three on the roadside, between Winchester aod Strasburg. Two hundred and thirty five prisoners have been sent to Baltimore. Sev eral are 6till at Winchester, and others on their way hither. A mssseuger from Stras burg states that General Johnston was to join General Jackson at Strasburg, bat he subse quently sent hira word that he could not join him till Monday night. Their combined forces would been twenty-fire or thirty thousand. They were arranging and inteuding to keep Banks from moving to another point, but Jackson being impressed with the belief that our troops had nearly all left, hazarded his fatal advance alone. On Wednesday, oar pickets went six miles beyond Strasburg. The fences, trees aud ground along the route show the terrible ef fect of our artillery on the retreating enemy. Gen. Shields's arm has been reset and he is comfortable, and will probably be able to re same active duties in two weeks. The follow ing dispatch was telegraphed to Gen. Shields, on Wednesday : WAR DEPARTMENT. 1 WASHINGTON, March 26,1862. F Your two despatches relative to the brilliant achieve ment of the force', under your command have been re ceived. While rejoicing at the success of your gallant triumphs, deep commiseration is felt for those who have been vic tims in the gallant and victorious contest with treason and rebellion. Your wounds, as well as your success, prove that Lan der's brave division is still bravely led, and that where , ever its standard is displayed the rebels will be defeated ' and pursued. ; To yon and the oißcers • and soldiers under your com mand, the Department return thanks. (Signed) EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War. COLONEL CORCORAN.— A mystery seems to hang about the whereabouts and condition of Col. Corcoran, against whom the rebels seem 1 to have a peculiar spite. * Col. Wood and Col. Cogswell both are represented as saying that they had conversation with prisoners from Charleston, who said they bad not seen him for several days previous to their qnitting that place, and inferred therefrom that he had beeD either removed to another prison or sent furth er South. Though it is well understood that the President has made special exertions to procore the release of Col. Corcoran, yet it is equally well understood that the rebel author ities will consent to give him op only condition that Smith the condemned privateer or private, shall be surrendered to them. THE RELEASE OF PRISONERS STOPAEB. —The Secretary of War has stopped the release on parole of the prisoners taken at Fort Donel son. It is known that an agreement for the exchange of prisoners was made some weeks ago under the direction of the Secretary of War by General Wool with General Cobb, by which all of our prisoners were to be deliv ered to us the next day under a*flag of truce at Crauey Island. A boat was Jsent to re ceive them, but no prisoners were brought from Norfolk. The same was repeated for two days without success. Explanations were demand ed by General Wool, but none were furnished. Pending this breach of faith by the rebels, all release or exchange will be refased by the Government. SENATORIAL. —The terms of the following named members of the United States Senate will expire with the present Congress, on the 4th of March next:— James Dixon (Rep.,) Connecticut. Milton S Latbam (Opp.,) California. James A. Bayard (Opp.,) Delaware. Joseph A. Wright (Opp,) Indiana. Lot M. Morrill (Rep.,) Maine. Chas. Sumner (Rep,) Massachusetts. Anthony Kennedy (Opp ,) Maryland. Zach. Chandler (Rep.,) Michigan. Henry M. Rice (Opp.,) Minnesota. Preston King (Rep.,) New York. John R. Thompson (Opp.,) N. J. "David Wilmot (Rep,) Penn. James F. Simmons (Rep ,) R I. Andrew Johnson (Opp.,) Tenn. Solomon Foot (Rep.,) Vermont. Waitman T. Willey (Opp.,) Va. James It. Dooiittle (Rep.,) Wisconsin. WHO ARE ENTITLED TO PENSIONS. —The At torney General of the United States has de cided that all disabled soldiers of the three years of war men are entitled to invalid pen sions under the act of July 22, 1862 ; and that all disabled three months' soldiers called into the service under the President's procla mation of April 15, 1861, are entitled to pen sions under the acts of 1802 and 1816. He also decides that there is no law giving pen sions to widows and orphans of deceased sol diers of the present war. The Bedford Inquirer tells a good story as to how the Breckenridge Democracy iii that region conducted the late spring elec tion. Tbey made the is?ne and charged that the Republican party was responsible tor the scarcity of coffee, and that Mr. Liucoln was to blame because the substitution of rye was made necessary on account of the high prico of coffee. Grand old arguments, these, for a party that still claims to be unequalled in every attribute of fairness and justice. It should be styled the old rye party. Is not democracy becoming a most contemptible fea ture in politics, as it is preached by the loco focos ? DRKADVCL DISASTER.—PHILADELPHIA, Sat urday, March 29.—Jackson's pyrotechnic fac tory, on Tenth and Reed streets, exploded early this momiDg. Four or 6ve persons were killed, including a sou of Mr. Jackson. The head of one of the victims was blown nearly two squars, aod various fragments of humani ty were scattered about the ruins, presenting a most shocking sight. Ten or twelve others, boys and girls, were serioosly injured. W&* The latest advices from Corinth, Miss., etate that the rebels there number 70,000. THE SIEGE IT ISUHDIO.IO. From General Burnside's Division. The Capture of Fort Macon Certain. THE ADVANCE IN VIRGINIA. The Siege of Island Wo. W. ST. Locia, Thursday, March 27. A special dispatch to the Republican, dated near Maud No. 10, evening of the 26th, 6ays that only three she lis were thrown by the mor tars to-day, to which no response was made by the rebels. This morning Col. Buford sent a reconnoiteriog party of twenty men of the Tweoty-Seveuth Illinois down the Missouri shore. They arrested three prominent resi dents, who report that 2,000 negroes are em ployed on the island and at the batteries aloug the shore ; that sixty-five rebel troops, includ ing two Lieutenants and forty negroes, have been killed by our shells ; that the upper shore battery is abaDdoued, but the others are being strengthened ; that the enemy is 15,000 strong,* and that their encampmeut has been moved autirely out of range of onr guus. The rebels are confident of success, and say they have a good road to Trenton and other points, by which they can escape whenever they choose. They have plenty of provisions. Three rebel 6teamers, loaded with troops, were seen watch iug the shore to prevent communication from here. The total cumber of tbe enemy's trans ports is eleven. Two or three balloon ascen sions have been made by Capt. Steimer, but tbe weather was too thick for favorable ob servation. One of tbe partly-finished gunboats at Mom phis was fired the other uigbt, but the fire was extinguished before much damage was doue. The new Tennessee levies were disbauding and refusing to fight with the pikes, which were the only weapons offered them. CHICACOO, Thursday, March 27. A special to the Chicago Tribune contains tbe following : " A geutleman arrived on the Conestoga this morning, with intelligence from Isluud No. 10 up to 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Col. Buford sent a force to make a reco niois sance on the Kentucky shore on Tuesday night, whieh succeeded in capturing six pris ouers belonging to a Tennessee cavalry regi ment. They report the strength of tbe rebels near the island at 15,000. Gen. Bragg is in command. Fifteeu hundred reinforcements reached there from Humboldt,having come by railroad to a point only fifteeu miles distant Still larger reinforcements were expected by the same route last night. Measures have been taken to iutercept this means of commu nication." CHICAGO, Thursday, March 27. A special to the Journal, from Cairo, says > "Memphis papers of thc22d state that oulv one man was killed in the first four days' bombard ment at island No. 10. He was a cit'.zeu of Memphis." ST. Lons, Saturday. March 2D, 1802. The St. Louis Democrat has a dispatch from Cairo which says : The steamer Dickey went down to the fleet yesterday, heavily lade a with ordnance and commissary stores. Four 50 pounders, navy cannon, were also takeu down for the gunboat Benton ; also some hand grenades to repel boarding par ties. Persons from New Madrid report that sev eral of the Rebel transports and gunboats came up within range of our Biddie Point batteries on Wednesday and opened fire, but were compelled to retire alter a short engage ment. The Grampus is the only jßebel gunboit above onr blockade,which is constantly on the alert, watching our movements at New Mad rid. It fs also said that the Rebel* have erected batteries on the opposite side of the river, to prevent Gen. Pope's command from crossing to attack their rear. ST. LOUIS, March 30,1802. The army correspondent of The Republican writing under date of Cairo, March 29, says the firing on Friday at Island No. 10 was quite heavy, the Rebels opening from a new battery, mounted, it is supposed, with 128 pounders. The euemy could be seen cutting away trees and rapidly pushing forward other means of defense. They seem to have no idea of evacuating at present.and are daily getting more cannon in position. Word reached the fleet last night that four Rebel gunboats partly clad with railroad iron appeared below Point Pleasant, but as Gen. Pope's batteries extend in an almost continuous line for fitteen miles, it is not be lieved they can force a passage. CAIRO, Saturday, March 29,1562. After a lull the bombardment at Island No. 10 was renewed vigorously yesterday. The Rebels appear to have received and and put in position new guns of longer range. FROM GEN. BURNSIDE'S DIVISION. BALTIMORE, March 30,1862. The rebels burned the bridge on the railroad between Newborn and Beaufort, but it was in progress of repair, and the road would soou be iu operation between the two places. So far as our informants know, all of whom came from Newbern, and had not been at Beaufort, there was no destruction of property at the latter place, and a large majority of the citizens remained quietly in their homes on the appreach of the Union forces. All the rebel soldiers in the vicinity shut themselves up iu Fort Macon. Their numbers were variously represented by citizens of Bean fort at from three to six hundred men. The fort was said to be but slightly provisioned, and it was not believed it could hold out more than a week. Its ultimate capture is of course a matter of certainty. Gen Burnside was at Beaufort. Perfect order reigned at Newbern, and a number of citizens had returned to the place. General Foster was Military Governor of the city.— The reb Is were believed to be in strong force toward Kingston, thirty five mihs on the road to Goldsborough, and their scouts freqneully appeared iu the viciuity tf Newbern. The expedition to Washington was success ful. It consisted of about one thousand men, with an escort of gunboats. Two companies of the Massachusetts 22d landed and took the place. The Stars and Stripes were nailed to a tree before the Court House, and left there. The citizens received the invaders without any apparent excitement or apprehension, some few expressing Union sentiments, while the mass had nothing to say either way.— After holding the place one day, and gathering all the iuformatirn they could, the expedition returned to Newbern. THE ADVANCE IN VIRGINIA. MANASSAS, March 29,1862. At the skirmish at Rappabanuock Bridge, last evening, Capt. Clark's battery of the 4th Artillery shelled the rebels with remarkable rapidity aud precision. The enemy left, in their haste, a number of cars loaded with grain aud other forage. We could have shelled tbem with terrible effect in tbe act of their carrying off their 6ick and wounded, had it been desirable. A rebel Lieutenant aud four privates were taken pris oners. TLe enemy, day before yesterday, captured six men of the 66ib New York Regiment. Heavy firing is still beard at intervals on the front. The horse of Litut. King of the 4th Artil lery, and nephew of Gen. King, wfls poisoued last night. A bottle of strychnine was found among tbe rebel forage abandoued in tbe vicinity of Warrenton Junctiou. A secret meeting of the Secessionists was held at Fairfax Court House last Wednesday night. Several of the troops have been kliled by the rebel sympathizers in the neighborhood of tbe Court House daring the week. Steps have beeu taken to detect the perpetrators, and to prevent a similar occurrence. A drove of twenty five cattle were captnred from the enemy. FROM TENNESSEE. CAIRO, 111., March 29, 1563. There is nothing important from Tennessee to-day. An arrival from Memphis reports that there is general despoudency there, and that but little confidence if felt, even in the large force now concentrating at Corinth. CAIRO, March 30,18C2. Tbe Nashville corfespoudent of the Times reports that the railroad communication to Louisville is fully restored. The Cbatanooga road, which was destroyed by the rebels in their flight, has been fully repaired as far as Murfreesboro, and is now being stocked from the North. It has beeu strongly urged on Gov Johnson to levy a tax on the Secession merchants at Nashville and vicinity, to repair the bridges destroyed by Floyd. Three Days Later from Europe. The steamship New York, from Southamp. ton 19th March, arrived at New-York last night, with three days later news from Europe. The Kangaroo uud Bo Lima n had arrived at Liverpool. The Niagara arrived at Queenstown March 18. In the House of Lords, on Monday March 17, the Marquis of Normandy moved for vari ous dispatches relating to Government pros ecutions of the Press in Italy during the last two years } also, for dispatches having refer ence to the proclamations of a barbarous character, which are said to have beeu receutly publish, d. Lord RUSSELL replied at some length. lie said that the proclamations in question k were totally unauthorized. The Court Journal says : " The Queen laid on Saturday the first stone of a Mausoleum in Frogmore Gardens,in which are to be deposit ed the remains of her dearly loved husband, the I'riuce Consort, and ultimately her own." The India, China,and Australian mails have arrived, but without bringing an intelligence of special interest. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived on March 13 at Siout, on his way up the Nile. The Prince will return to Alexandria about the end of March, when he will re embark for Syria. The Paris correspondent to the Times says: " The late successes of the Federal troops in North America have created a belief among French merchants that an arrangement will shortly take place by which an end will be put to the civil war, and that commercial relations will be resumed. The report has had a very favorable effect in the manufacturing districts, particularly at Lyons." A letter from Marseilles says that a con siderable rise has taken place in the price of silk Orders from Lyons are said to have been the cause, the last accounts from America lead ing to the hope that business would shortly be resumed. The Paris Flour Market has been quiet the last week. The Paris Coru Market was moch moredJl during the last week than the week preceding. The Paris Bourse has been exceedingly dull The health of the Pope continues to im prove. In Russia, several concessions have been made to landed proprietors of facilitating the redemption of property, viz.: A prolongation of the uae of State loan 9 formerly granted. The authorization to contract new private loans. The transfer of former hypothecated debts upon estates given over to peasants ; and the acoeption of papers of redemption at their ' nominal value as payineut of hypothecated debts A dispatch from Athens dated March 14, says Aria, and all the intrenchments and out works of Nauplia, have been taken.

Wendell Phillips attempted to Itctoreat Pike's Opera Boose to night. He commenced by avowing himself an abo litionist and a Disonionist. Persons in the galleries then hissed, yelled and threw eggs and stones at him, many of which-hit bitn.— The hissing was kept up for some time. Finally Phillips made himself heard, and he proceeded until smoothing again objecliouable was said,when the storm of eggs was renewed. The uiui iu many cases was good. Still Phil lips persevered, and a third time was hissed, au'l a third time egged and stoned. The crowd from the galleries then moved down stairs, crying " put him out," " tar and feather him 1" with groans for the " uigger Wendell Phillips." While proceeding down the middle aisle towurd the stage,, they were met by the friends of Phillips, when a fight en sued. A scene of indiscribable confasion occurred. The ladies in the audience were screaming, eying, jumping over chairs and falling iu all directions during the skirmish. Finally Phillips was taken off the stage by his friends, and the audience moved' out. GREAT EXCITEMENT IN BURLINGTON, N. S.— BURLINGTOM, N. J , March 28—The Rever end Samuel Aaron.a baptist pr ac ier of Mount Holley.N.J., attempted to deliver au aboii tiou lecture at the City Hall last evening.— He commenced his remarks by denouncing the President's administration and avowing himself against the mnnner in which the war was conducted. At this the crowed com meneed to hiss him aud atorm him with rot ten eggs. The ladies in the audience got frightened, at these proceedings,and commenc ed screaming and jumping out the window.— Meanwhile the excitement of the crowd rose to fever heat, and there were angry cries of " kill him," " tar aud feather him," &o The Mayor of the city was preseut, and tried to stop the row but did not succeed in doing so. Finally, the Reverend gentleman withdrew and was taken away from the hall by his frieuds. No one was injured as far as known. A LOYAL WOMAN VISITS HER REBEL SON. Mrs. Tilghman, mother of Geueral Tilgh man, visited Iter sou at Fort Warren lust Sat urday. The first exclamation on meeting him was, " Oh, my rebel son and during the conversation she said. " When I heard that you were taken I thanked God that you had been rescued from secession influences, and were I to bear that there was any ehauce of your being exchanged, I would go on my kueese to the President to prevention from again joining the rebels ; for 1 had rather have you remain here during your life than to know you were among the traitors of the country.
