Foetbess Monroe, March 12.—0 n the 9th
inst. an advance was made on Suffolk, by the
2d Colored Cavalry, Colonel Cole.
The Colonel, with seven companies, advanced
®n the southern road,- Lieutenant-Colonel
Pond, with two companies, in advance, and
Lienienant Snyder, with one company, on the
South Quarry road. Lieut. S. first encoun
tered the enemy, consisting of Ransom’s entire
brigade of infantry, cavalry and artillery, Ran
som commanding in person.
Lieut. S. sent a courier to Col. Cole, who
went to his assistance, and met the enemy at
i Suffolk, where a severe fight of one hour took
place. Col. Cole shot the commander of the
rebel cavalry, *nd attempted to cover the re
treat of Lieutenant-Colonel Pond,but the enemy
with their superior numbers, intercepted him,
forcing him to retire across the Jericho canal,
where he reorganized.
Lt.-Col. Pond came up the Sommerton road,
attacking the enemy in the rear, and Col. Cole
in front, thereby cutting their way through the
enemy’s ranks, saving their command.
Deserters say the enemy had 65 men killed.
Our loss, killed, wounded and missing, was 20.
Lt. Van Lew, 2d colored cavalry, was killed.
Lt.-Col. Pond had his horse shot from under
him.
Our men behaved most courageously. Ben
jamin Hunt, bugler, Company A, went into the
fight, killing several of the enemy.
The enemy retreated, and are now across the
Black "Water, evidently expecting our rein
forcements near at hand, which was the case,
as Gen. Heckman, with his command, arrived
in Suffolk as promptly as the cars could convey
them.
Our forces now hold possession of Suffolk.

GENERAL MEADE.
Washington, March 14.— The National In
telligencer, of this morning, says: “Rumors,
evidently founded upon misapprehensions,
having-obtained currency to the effect that the
health of General Meade had become so much
impaired as to induce his resignation of the
command of the A-nny of the Potomac, and
gone so far as to designate his successor, we
are happy to be able to state as we do, on good
authority, that, this distinguished officer has
entirely recovered from his recent indisposi
tion, and that he has never entertained the re
motest intention of retiring from a position'
in which, we may add, he has secured the con
fidence of the country and army, and where he
has earned such high military reputation.
“The recent visits of General Meade to this
city, as we understand,“have been for the pur
pose of consultation and to give testimony
before the Committee on the Conduct of the
War, and not in view of any contemplated se
paration from his command. He was expected
to return this morniDg to the army.”
■
THE EXCHANGE OF PBISONEES STOPPED.
W A3HINGTON, March 14.—-The Chronicle says
"Gen. Wadsworth left this city for Fortress
Monroe, yesterday, with orders from the War
Department to stop all exchanges of prisoners
upon the acted bn by the rebels,
by which one- hundred rebel prisoners are ex
changed for every seventy-five of ours in pos
session of the rebel authorities.
“ General Wadsworth has been instructed to
state that no more prisoners will be exchanged
except upon the principle of man for man, and
that too without regard to color.”

CITY BULLETIN.
1 Fibe in Franklin Square.—The alarm of
fire about five o’clock this morning, was caused
by the burning oi the tool bouse in Franklin
Square. The tire was-undoubtedly the -work of an
incendiary. In connection with this matter, we
may state that when the new Snpejintendant took
charge of ihe Square on the Ist instant, he found a
great scarcity of tools and implements generally
used in the public squares. A large ladder a
wheelbarrow, the large flag, and sundry other
articles were missing.. Nearly all the squirrels
have disappeared and certain parties have been
heard to boast of having had some very good pot
pies. The person or persons who committed these
depredations, it is supposed, attempted to com
plete the work this morning by destroying the re
maining articles in the square. All the benches
were piled up around the tool house, but they were
saved through the exerticns of the police. The
home and contents were totally destroyed," and

FINANCE AND BUBINEBS—MARCH 14,1864
Tbe stock market this morning, nnder the influ
ence of lower quotations in New York and a re
ported disagreement between tbe President of tbe
Schuylkill Navigation Company and the boatmen
of the Canal, fell off from-81 to S 3 per share.
Reading suffered heavily, and at one time stood at
67#, but later it rallied #. On Saturday these
two stocks stood 38# for the former and Reading
70#—a decline of 2# in tbe latter. Money is said
to be more active in New York, but this statement
is vehemently contradicted by good authority; so
that to arrive at a jnst.cause for the reaction is not
easy. In view of tbe steady rise and enormous
profits, a relapse of 2a3 per cent, is not unhealthy.
Ronds.sympathized, but there was less flurry in
thffcheap Coal and Mining stocks than might have
been expected. Governments are very quiet, and

We have learned not to be astonished at any

extending throughout all nationalities of the ha.

established a basis from -which we need not err.

We know the persons and circumstances, hence
feel at liberty to endorse their statements:
“New Bedford, Mass., Nov. 24, 1863.
Dear Sib—l have been afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet

visiting some friends in New York who were using
Plantation Bitters they prevailed upon me to try
them. I commenced with a small wine glassful
aiter dinner, feeing better by degrees, in a few
days 1 was astonished to find the coldness mil
cramps had entirely left me, and I could sleep the
night through, which I have not done for years I

have also greatly unproved by the use of the Plan
