The label cavalry aro scouring the country in the vicinity of David's Bluff. The steamer Lloyd was tired into on the White river, and tier pilot. wounded, Purrest's forces are menacing both Colvthibus and Paducah, and a portion of his fOr4.,e Is marching on the latter plae. They passplace. LOvettaville today, and It is expected they will male as attack to-night. Orr pickets, at Colum bag% vette driven in to-day. Besides the reinforce leehte sent from herefive gunboats are ready to receive the rebels. The steamer Belle of St. Lthis has passed np with one hundred and fifty bales of cotton for St. Louis. - LATER. OAmO, April 13.—Tae rebel General Buford sent 'a flag of trace at seven o'clo:ik this morning, demanding the surrender of Fort Halleck. at Co lumbus, Kentucky, the white soldiers to be treated as prisoners of war, but no protection promised to the colored troops found in arms. Five hours was given for the removal of the women and children. The steamer Crawford arrived here at one P. M., crowded with the latter. As she was 'leaving Columbus two steamers arrived from below with three thousand veterans, on their way home on furlough, also a battery. They were landed and would doubtless mate rially change the calculations of the rebels. The steamer Olive Branch, from New Orleans on the 6th inst., has arrived and reports that fighting was going on all day yesterday, and up to the time s h e passe d 'here, when there was a cessation of hostilities. Negotiations were pending, and a flag of trace was visible. After passing. the fighting was renewed and the Federal flag was seen to come down, but it was believed to have been shot away, as there seemed to be efforts made to raise it again. Amongst the passengers by the Olive Branch were General iihipley, from Louisiana; Captain Mill , r, late acting Major, of New Orleans, and Capt. Thomp - eon, of the General' a staff. ISE LATEST. ileneral Buford's demand was for an uncondi tional. surtender of Fort Pillow. It was stated that if the fort was surrendered the nearoes would be returned to their masters, but if forced to take the place no quarter would be shown them. Col onel Lawrence, of the 34th New Jersey Regiment, commanding the post, replied that his Govern ment had placed him there to . defend the fort and that a surrender was out of the question. Paducah ,advices up to noon to-day report matters more quiet, and the probabilities of an at tack are greatly lessened. General Brayman has sent adequately reinforcements both to Columbus and Paducah, and no fears are entertained by the military authorities for the safety of either place. Passengers from below report that Forrest recently crossed the Coldwater River, near Jackson, going South, with 3.000 horses and 1, 900 wagons, but this is, doubtless, an exaggeration. A FIGHT IN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY. Batrinclun, April I3.—The Sun of this morning has the following:—"Passengers, both soldiers and eitizens, from Martinsburg, and Harper' a Ferry, yesterday, report that a fight occurred near Winchester, on Friday afternoon last. It was stated Major Hunter, with a cavalry force, started upon a reconnoissance from Martinsburg to ward :Winchester, on Friday morning last, and that in the afternoon his forces met those of General Imboden, near Winchester, and a severe fight ensued, in which from fifty to one hundred men were killed and wounded on both sides. Major Hunter having accomplished the object of the reconnoissance, returned to Martinsburg on Friday night The greater part of the cavalry force with Major Hunter belonged to a Penney)... Tanis. regiment." In connec'ion with the above, we learn from goad authority that the Union fortes at Martins burg, Harper's Ferry and many other places along the line of the Baltimore anti Ohio railroad, have been placed in such condition and numbers as to be ready for any emergency. - No immediate attack by rebels on the line of the road is antici pated, either by the military authorities or officers of the road,. Passengers from the West confirm the above. They also say it was a decided tri umph to the Tinton side. AFFAIRS IN EAST TENNESSEE. C/NCINICATi. April 13.—A special Chattanooga despatch to the Gazette says: Mili:sry matters are quiet. The situation of the rebel army is un changed. Considerable rain has fallen recently and the Tennessee river is rapidly rising. A train from Knox - Tale to Chattanooga was thrown from the track near Athens and several soldiers were injured. Lotaarttvr, April 13. —The Jarmo/ has a special despatch dated Knoxville, on the 12th, which says the Knoxville-Greenville Convention met to-day and elected Hon. T. A. K. Nelson President, who declined the honor, when Colonel F. A. Heiskel was appointed. The entire session was consumed in the discussion of a resolution to expel any dele gate who sided or abetted the rebellion since the meeting of the Convention in IE6I. The resolution was tabled by a close Tote. The Convention then adjonrnea until to-morrow. Governor - Ana y Johnson is addressing the crowd in the street. The train which ran off the track has been replaced, and would arrive with a fresh accession of delegates last evening. A large num ber of delegates are already in attendance. The Convention is not a packed one, and the indica tions are against a new State being created. GENERAL BUTLER'S DEPARTMENT. FORTRESs MoNnon, April I.2.—The Baltimore steamer Georgianna. Captain Pearson, this morn ing, off New Point Comfort. picked up threeldeser ters in a small skiff from Yorktown. They were making for the Eastern Shore. Their names are Henry Holt, Owen McDonough and James Scott, all of the 2cl New Hampshire regiment. They were delivered over to the Provost Marshall of this place. Two steamers, the A: Winans and S. O. Pierce, left at one o' clock this morning, in search of the disabled steamer Thomas Scott, reported off Cape Hatteras. FROM NEW ORLEANS, VIA CAIRO. CAIRO, April 13. —The Free State Clonvention was to meet on the 6th, when a temporary chair man was to be elected, and the machinery for business put in motion. Four passengers' lives were lost by the recent burning of the steamer Russell, among them that of a Catholic priest, supposed to have been sta tioned at Natchez. The Times says it is reported that ; the French have occupied Matamoros, but nothing is said to indicate whether Cortinas made any resistance. It is likely that the announcement is premature. The small-pox prevailed at New Orleans to an alarming extent. Merchandise valued at Et:34.000, recently. landed opposite Port Hudson, was seized by the military authorities. The steamer Creole was to sail for New York on the 6th.and the George Washington, from Havana, On the 10th. PROM MISSOURI. ST. Lours.
