EEBEL RAID ON CHESAPEAKE BAT.
Bawihore. March 7. —There are exciting
rumors on the streets to-day of an extensive
rebel raid on the Chespeake, that the steamer
Louisiana, of the Norfolk line, had been cap
tured ;by a party of rebels while on her down
ward trip to Fort Monroe, and had been taken
into one of the rivers of the western shore of
Virginia. It was stated that the rebels were in
an armed tug. As far as can be ascertained,
this rumor is false; but three other small boats
have been captured, one of them the side-wheel
steamer S. P. Thomas, Captain Webster, em
ployed as despatch steamer between Fort Mon
roe and Cherrystone Inlet. The other two
were tugs employed between the same points.
The party making the capture were in a
schooner, supposed to have come out of the
Rappahannock. They boarded the steamer
and compelled Captain .Webster to give bonds
to the amount of $20,000, and then released
him. They stole $ll,OOO from captain.
Information was yesterdayreceived at the mili
tary headquarters in this city that the wires
were cut by raiders on Saturday moming, which
was doubtless done by the same party who
made the captures. The two tugs were the
Titian and lola. The latter was burned and
her crew paroled. The Titian was taken up the
Rappahannock. These are the facts as far as
they can be gathered.
FBOH WEST VIRGINIA.
New Cbeek, Ya., March 6.—The cavalry
scouting expedition sent out to Pendleton
county, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Root, of the 15th New York cavalry, returned
to-day. He reports that no enemy appears to
be in force in; that county or neighborhood.
Several small guerilla parties fled on the ap
proach of our forces.
The expedition effectually destroyed the
saltpetre works south of Franklin, in Pendleton
county.
Another scouting party had a slight skirmish
sear Moorfield, capturing some few of Mc-
Neil’s guerilla cavalry. Five of our men are
yet missing.
Everything seems to be quiet in the Shenan
doah valley.
SAFETY OF COLONEL DAHLGREN AND HIS
DETACHMENT. sf
New Yoek, March 7.— The Washington cor
respondent of the Tribune, under date of yes
terday, says:
The President received a despatch from For
tress Monroe, this. afternoon, stating that Col.
Dahlgren, with his hundred men, had safely
arrived within our lines. The Colonel was at
Fortress Monroe. The President and Secre
tary Stanton immediately called upon Admiral
Dahlgren, to convey the glad tidings and con
gratulate him upon the safety of his gallant son.
Baltimobe, March 7. —Our Fortress Monroe
letter says that Colonel Dahlgren is safe.
FROM WASHINGTON.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin. ]
"Washington, March 7.—Gen. Grant will
soon he here,. and some important military
changes will take place soon after his arrival.
Gen. Meade’s friends are much pleased with
his vindication of himself before the Committee
on the Conduct of the War on Saturday. His
accusers assert that other Generals will sustain
the charges against him, but there is no longer
any donbt among intelligent men on the sub;
yect. Gen. Meade’s Bimple denial of the
charge against him is considered sufficient.
Senator Fessenden, who has been quite ill
is better to-day, but will not be able to be in
the Senate before to-morrow.
EFFECTS OF KILPATRICK'S RAID ON THE
REBEL ARMY.
New Yoke, March 7.—The. army correspon
dent of the Herald sends the following des
patch : '
Three deserters came inside our lines yester
day who report that the rebel supplies are en
tirely exhausted, and the army is receiving
nothing from Richmond, owing to the destruc
tion of the railroad. Large details are made
daily from the rebel army to forage in the
country south of the Rapidan, and the greatest
difficulty is experienced to subsist'the troops.
These deserters belonged to the 48th Mississippi
regiment, in Ewell’s corps. They state that on
Tuesday a report was read to their brigade on
dress parade that Butler’s cavalry had joined
Kilpatrick at Hanover Court House. The next
day another report was read to them that Kil-
Patrick had made an attack upon Richmond,
but was repulsed .with a great loss in killed and
wounded and over 1,200 prisoners, who had
already arrived in Richmond.. -
A most intensely feverish anxiety pervades
all classes in the rebel army inview of the pros
pect of suffering in th'etuture. Kilpatrick had
destroyed the principal mills upon which they
relied for their subsistence.
A CANABD FROM NEW ORLEANS.
New York, March 7. —The World has
a rumor, via New Orleans, that Gen. Sherman
was defeated on the 16th ult.'at Chunky river,
near Meridian,with the loss of 15,000 men, and
the army totally broken up. The rebel cavalry
under Lee, Adams-and Forrest are reported in
bis rear. This story is without doubt a canard,
as Richmond papers of a much later date than
the 16th, have no mention of such an engage
ment.
FROM GEN. GILLMOBE’S
New York, March 7 —The World's Hilton
Head letter says that General Gillmore has
sent orders to Florida that in future only Jack
sonville will he held by our troops, and no
effort whatever made to occupy other towns.
ZZXTIHTH CONGRESS—FIRST BEB3ION.
_ - ‘Washixgtou, March 7, ISGt,
Sexate.—The bill auilionzicg the President to
negotiate a treaty with certain Indian tribes of
Oregon "was, on motion of Mr. Nesmith, called no
andpasEed. .
Mr. Bamsey (Minn.) called up the bill granting
lands to aid in the construction of a railroad from
St. Paul to the head of Lake Superior, in Minne
sota.
Mr. Howe (Wis.) opposed the bill at length, and
on motion of Mr. Wilkinson, the special order was.
postponed for the consideration of this bill.
Bovss.—Several weeks ago a resolution was
passed bt dering 1,500 copies of JLanman’a Diction
ary ol Congress at 32 apiece. This resolution was
afterward repealed.
To-day Mr Spalding (N. Y.) offered a resolu
tion to remove the doubts which had risen as to the
binding force and efficacy of either of those reso
lutions and affirming in all particulars the one
which heretofore passed providing for the print
ing of the -frork, save only that the price shall be
limited to SI per copy.
Afteran hour spent on this subject, the resolution
was passed by 16 majority.
Mr. Cox (Ohio) ottered a resolution calling upon
the President, if compatible with the public inte
rest, to inform the House what steps he has taken
or is about taking for an exchange of prisoners,
and that he communicate all the unpublished cor
respondence in relation to the said exchange.
Mr. Dawes (Mass.) objected, and so the resolu
tion lies over.

PROGRESS OP THE BANISH WAR,
A Conference of the Great Powers
Reported.
New Yobk, March 7.—The steamer City of
New York arrived at this port this morning,
with later advices from Liverpool.
The City of New York sailed from Liverpool
on the 24th, via Queenstown on the 2oth ult.
The steamship Hibernian arrived out on the
21st, and the America at Southampton on the
24th.
England has proposed a Conference on the
Danish Difficulties on a new basis, and Austria
and Prussia have given their assent to it.
The Times hopes that a pacific solution of
the question will be arrived at.
The House of Commons has debated the
question of the Mersey rams. A motion for
the production of the papers was rejected by 25
majority for the Government.
The Morning Post’s City Article says that
the reports from Paris are still more positive
that confidential negotiations are progressing
between France and England for a joint recog
nition of the Confederates, and if England
refuses, France will act alone.
The Post declines to vouch for these reports.
In the House of Commons, Mr. Fitzgerald
denounced the government for seizing Laird’s
rams, and asserted that the action was in con
travention of the law. In moving for all the
correspondence on the subject, he said he
should deplore a war with' America, but
would rather go to war than that the law of
England should be infringed in consequence of
the threats of foreign Ambassadors..
The Attorney-General defended the Govern
ment and explained the legality of their action.
He claimed for the Government the merit of
acting from a sense of justice and no other
motive.’ Several speakers denounced the
course of the Government and charged it with
pusillanimity.
Finally the motion was rejected, by a vote of
178 against 163—a majority of 25 for the Go
vernment'. (
The announcement of the vote was received
with loud cheers from the Ministerial side.
Mr.- Layard said that it was trne that, with
the consent of the British and American Go
vernments, tobacco had been passed through
the blockade from Richmond for the Austrian
and French Governments. England had made
no similar application for cotton, because the
case was altogether different.
An immense meeting at Dublin to protest
against the erection of the Albert memorial on
College Green, was broken up by riotous pro
ceedings of the Fenian brotherhood. A despe
rate fight took place, but resulted in nothing
serious. It is asserted that some of the com
batants wore the American uniform.

54.
The rate of discount of the Bank of England
has been reduced to 6’per cent.
The Jura, from Portland, arrived out on the
24th. Affairs in Schleswig are unchanged.
The report is confirmed that Austria and
Prussia have agreed to a conference in London,
but they will not discontinue hostilities in the
meantime.
The Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a
speech, distinctly’asserts that “ not until the
former state of things is reinstated in Schles
wig, will the Danish Government renew its ef
forts for terminating by means of negotiations
our conflictwith the Germans.”
The London Times thinks it is probable that
“ e will see a revolution in Germany.
Additional particulars of the Prussian reDulse
at Duppeln are conflicting. One account looks
disastrous for the Prussians; but the Prussian
official account is the reverse, only admitting
three killed and twenty wounded. *
It is asserted that an entente cordiale between
France and England is no longer doubtful.
The Emperor agrees to co-operate. The

New York, March 7.—The steamer. Arago
has arrived from Hilton Head and Charleston
Bar, with dates to the 4th inst. She brings
detachments of the 47th, 54th and llotb New
York, Bth Maine, and 85th Pennsylvania Vol
unteers and 3d Rhode Island Battery. Also
some twenty officers, wounded in Florida, and
fifty-four rebel deserters. Colonels Reidt,
Moore, Sammons, Meyer, Slidell and Jackson
are among the passengers, the total number of
whom is ’950.
Nothing new from Charleston except tha
the bombardment was still continued with good
effect. The rebels replied at intervals, but
scarcely doing any injury.
The supply steamer Bermuda is reported to
have captured a rebel privateer in sight of Fort
Pickens, after an exciting chase. The rebels
bad just put a prize crew on board a captured
trading vessel, which was not overtaken.
INTERESTING FROM FLORIDA,
N ew Yoek,March 7 .—By the steamer Arago,
which has arrived from Hilton Head, we have
interesting news from Florida.
All was quiet at Jacksonville. Reinforce
ments were rapidly arriving, and General Sey
mour’s position was sufficiently formidable to
repel any attack.
Our troops are ontside of the town, some
of them at a distance of eight miles. The
fortifications in front of Jacksonville are of an
extensive character. Flags of truce had
communicated with the rebels /or the purpose
of endeavoring to obtain our wounded, who
had fallen into their hands, but the request was
refused.
The main body of the enemy is encamped
between Ten-Mile_Run and Baldwin—with a
considerable force at the former place. The
rebels admit their loss to be enormous, some
even stating it as high as two thousand. On
the 27th a small skirmish occurred between our
cavaly and the rebels near Camp Finnegan.
The rebels had five wounded. None of our
men were hurt.
General Gillmore thrived at Jacksonville on
the 29th.
FROM CHATTANOOGA
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin, j
CixcmsATi, March 7.—A despatch from
Chattanooga dated the 4th says, that our army
has returned from its late reconnoissance, and
now holds a position in advance of its old lines
We have closed Parker’s and Hooker’s Gaps)
and the army is in splendid condition.
Colonel Harrison, who from Baldface Eidge
had a full view of Dalton, states that the rebel
force there on Friday was from 20,000 to
30,000 men, nearly all of whom came up from
the rear on Thursday afternoon.
Lieutenant-Colonel Slocum, of the 82d
Indianaj who was wounded in the reeonnois
sance, is dead.
The 111th Pennsylvania passed through In
dianapolis on Saturday for home, having re
enlisted.
Judge Moulder, one of the most influentia"
citizens of Mississippi Co., Mo., and a staunc
Unionist, was murdered by the guerillas in hi
own house, on Thursday night last.
FROM KNOXVILLE.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin.]
Cincinnati, March 7.—A special despatch
from Knoxville reports Longstreet still re
treating.)
The rebels lately shot seven deserters, and
are relentlessly hunting down conscripts. They
have sent forty pieces of artillery to the Great
Virginia Salines, which place they will doubt
less stubbornly hold, under Buckner and Breck
inridge, and from it threaten Kentucky.
They are not fortifying Bull’s Gap.
Gen. Cox has been appointed chief-of-staff
to Gen. Schofield. For the army in the field
Gen. Potter remains chief-of-stafl'.
FROM THE WEST.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletm.]
Cincinnati, March 1 7.— Gen. Negley left this
city for Louisville and the front yesterday.
Lieutenant-Gen. Grant left here this morning
on the way to Washington. There will be little
opportunity for demonstration bn the way, as
he will travel rapidly and seeks to avoid all
display.
R. M. Forbes,western agent of the New York
Central Railroad, died suddenly at the Burnet
House here, on Friday night.
THE REPORTED SAFETY OF COL. DAHL-
■Washington, March 7.—lt is understood that
subsequent despatches received here throw
doubt upon the correctness of the information
of the arrival of Coi. Dalilgren in our lines at
Fortress Monroe. Nothing official, however,
can be learned about the matter.
IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS INTRODUCED IN
THE SENATE.
Washington, March 7.—ln the Senate to
