THE GREAT GALE.
During yesterday tue wind was irom east north
eastand blew heavily with rain throughout the
day. Frcmjiilots come In f-om sea we learn the
gale was severe outside. The pilot boat M E.Flsh,
No. 4, when off the Highlands picked up three
barrels of kerosene marked No. 2, from a lot ol
about 20 barrels; taw no other wrecked stuff. Off
BamegatsßeeawohaTkentine with all topmasts
gone, and hoarded a foreign hark with bulwarks
and stancheons gone. The ship Norway, from
Liverpool, Is at anchor in the Lower Bay, with
fore and mlzzentopmasts gone, and enough ol the
mainmast standingfor one yard only. The ship
City of Brooklyn, while at anchor off Bedloe’s
Island, was fouled by another ship and somewhat
chafed the other ship; lost jlbbomi; they wsje
towed apart by tugs. The schooner Union ar
rived from Baltimore and bound to Belfast, Me.,
encountered on March 26. when off Montank, a
severe gale from east to northeast, which continued
with unabated fury until the 23th. driving the
schooner to the southward of Cape Henlopen,dur
ing which she had her sails torn badly, bulwarks
and galley stove, carried away the bobstay, broke
skylight, shifted cargo, filled the cabin, and did
other damage.
The steamship Olympus, hence for Liverpool, is
anchored in the Narrows, detained by the storm.
The Eastern steamers, Empire State and City of
New York, departed at the usnal hour, (5 P. M.,)
bnt probably will not proceed through before the
storm abates.
A large number of outward-bound vessels are
anchored in the North River, and Lower Bay,
awaiting afavorable opportunity to proceed to sea.
Both inward and outward-bound vessels And a
check in the prevailing gale—those outward, una
ble to depart, and those inward, near our coast,
compelled to keep off shore, to avoid being strand
ed. We expect to chronicle a series of disasters,
occasioned by the frequent heavy and fearful gales
that have prevailed this month.—Aew York Timet,
To-day. -
The Defences op RbwHatet.-Laboring men
are drilling and blasting the solid rock foundation
on which Fort Hale used to stand. On the site of
the fort is to be the bastion, and its foundation is
now eight or ten feet lower than the foundation of
Fort Bale was, and the work Is still going on. At
the point where the bastion is to be, the stone wall
turns a corner at an angle of about 120 degrees, and
just inside this wall on the water fronts, and
through the marsh on the back of the fortification,
improvements, runs, or will when the work is
completed, a moat or canal, averaging sixty fe«t
in width, it being in some places over a hundred.
All the cannon and buildings are to be enclosed
within the circuit of this moat, the only outlet to
be by a drawbridge some twenty feet wide. The
works when finished will probably mount fourteen
32- pounders, two 24-pounders, and two 8-inch co
lumbi&ds.—New Haven Journal.
Malignant Fever.— The Village Record gives
an account of the family of a Mr. Hill who re
cently moved into West Chester and occupied a
dwelling which had-been shut up for neaTly two
years. Oh Monday night of last weekall went to
bed apparently in the usual health. On Tuesday,
four young daughters, aged eight, ten. twelve and
fourteen years, were taken sick; one died on Wed
nesday, another on Thursday; on Thursday they
were buried in the same grave. By this time the
mother and another boywere sick—the mother un
conscious. On Sunday morning another of the
children died. We understand the other members
of the family were moved on Sunday to another
house. The disease is considered by physicians
malignant typhoid fever, although it is reported
by seme spotted fever, &c. .

FROM THE ABUT OF THE CUMBERLAND.
Kkoxytlie, March 28. —About sixty rebel
deserters came into our lines during the past
week, making a total of over eleven hundred
for the past three months.
They state that all of General Longstreet’s
baggage has been sent bach towards Rich
mond, and that his whole force is under
marching orders.
Last night a party of forty guerillas captured
Mr. H. Foster, of Blount county, and carried
him off in the direction of Marysville.
Col. “Wolford left here on Saturday. He has
been summarily dismissed from the service by
the President for expressing disloyal senti
ments. 1
THE OUTBREAK IN ILLINOIS.
Mattoon, 111., March 30th—On the receipt
of the news of the riot at Charleston, Illinois,
250 men of 54th Illinois regiment, rendezvous
ing here, went to that place. The rioters
having left before the troop arrived, pursuit
was made and 30 prisoners were taken and
brought here.
The copperheads in this and adjoining coun
ties immediately commenced mustering their
forces with the. avowed purpose of rescuing
the prisoners.
Reports from different sources say that the
rioters are from 1,000 to 1,500 strong, and will
attack this place to-night.
Every precaution is being taken to give them
a warm reception. It is believed that with the
united efforts ef the citizens and soldiers still
here the place can be held against the rioters
until the arrival of reinforcements.
[LATEE.j
Mattoon, March 30—11 A. M. —The insur
gents are said to be threatening both Charles
ton and Mattoon.
A reconnaissance made last night found them
fortified twelve miles from Charleston.
Col. True, in command of the post here, has
received authentic information that they are in
force at Copairns Mills, ten miles south, and at
a place eight miles west ol Mattooh.
Col. Oakes, Provost Marshal General has ar
rived.
The 41st Illinois Regiment has been ordered
here from Camp Yates, and 500 men have been
ordered from Indianapolis.
General Heintzelman is expected here to
night. Sheriff O’Hair has been joined at his
rendezvous by the SheriS' of Edgar county
with a band of desperadoes.
A spy sent out by the insurgents was cap
tured this afternoon. He confessed that there
are large bands at the two places above men
tioned, but refuses to give further information.
The telegraph wires east and north of here
have been cut. A scout returned at 11.30 and
reports a force of rebels 15,000 three miles
east of Mattoon.
PROM CALIFORNIA, OREGON AND IDAHO.
San Francisco, March 30.—The steamer
.Golden Gate arrived last night from Panama.
Oregon despatches received to-day contain late
news from Idaho Territory, relating principally
to the extra measures made for the suppression
of crime. The grand jury of Boise county had
returned 12 indictments for murders, 16 for
assaults with intent to kill, and one for man
slaughter. A vigilance committee, numbering
1,000 men, was making a clean sweep of the
villains infesting Beaver Head county.
They huDg eleven men at Virginia City, five
at Big Hole, one at Deer Lodge, and seven at
Briar Root. The Indians on Snake river are
committing great ravages. They are armed
with rifles and shot guns. The rush of emi
grants from Oregon and California to Idaho is
immense. The Dutch ship Amelia sailed on
the 28th for Hong Kong with $350,000 in
treasure. The late rains have been of incalcu
lable benefit te the agricultural' and mining in
terests.
MOVEMENTS OF THE REBEL FORREST.
St. Louis, March' 31.— The Democrat has
received a special despatch from Cairo stating
that the main body of Forrest’s force have
been ordered to Jackson, Tenn. Those ordered
to Paducah have returned, Col. Hicks having
a sufficient force to repel any attack.
During the fight at Paducah the rebels took
Mrs- Hammond from.the hospital and murdered
her. Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Ea
gen and Mrs. McHarg were also taken and sent
to the front between two fires .and kept there
for ah hour. Their dresses were perforated by
bulleft.
While the rebel flag of truce was moving
forward, they disposed their forces for action.
Our men had ceased firing for fear that the
women would be killed.
A man has been arrested on the steamer
Henderson, having in his possession a freshly
taken scalp of a white man. It is supposed to
have belonged to one of our soldiers.
Several persons have been arrested as spies;
among-them two women.
