BALTIMORE, April 22.—The ✓lmerican has
special advices from Norfolk that the steamer
Eliza Hancock arrived here yesterday from New
Orleans via Morehead, where she was taken,
to bring important despatches to Gen. Butler.
The Captain reported that a rebel ram came
down to within a few miles of Plymouth, N.
C., and on the 18th inst. attacked our fleet and
sunk the gunboat Bombshell and two others,
names unknown. Great anxiety prevailed at
Plymouth and it was generally expected the

that General Peck would be fully able to hold
Newbern.
STIRRING RUMORS OF MILITARY MOVE
MENTS 13 VIRGINIA.
[By the Peoples' Telegraph Line, No. 411 Chest
nut street.]
WASHINGTON, April 21.—The city is alive
with military rumors, conjectures, and specu
lations, of which the greater portion have
probably no foundation in fact ; while the
publication of the facts known to be true
would not be proper at this time.
WASHINGTON, April 22.—[Special to the
Times.] General Grant left here for the front
to-day, and General Burnside went by special
boat to Fortress Monroe. It is understood that
the recent development of the intentions of the
rebels renders an early movement of the. Army
of the Potomac highly probable. Such an
event will be in accordance with the expressed
desire of Mr. Lincoln and other leading men
here. Without going into details, it is enough
to say that the Spring has not been idled away,
and that preparations for the impending cam
paign have been equal to the importance of the
work to be accomplished. There is little doubt
that the next thirty days will bring about a
great change of some kind in military affairs.
The recent order of Gen. Grant banishing
sutlers from the army, rids it of over;twentf
eight hundred supernumeraries.
The War Department has given orders for an
addition of 15,000 beds to the present hospital
accommodations here. All patients able to
bear removal are to be sent North at once.
The report gains credence here among mili
tary men that Lee has sent part of his army
into the Shenandoah Valley, with a view of
compelling Grant to divide his army by sending
a force in pursuit.
NEw YORK, April 22.—Current rumors on
the street report both Lee's and Meade's armies
in motion, manoeuvring for the advantage pre
liminary to a general battle. It is thought that
Lee will again attempt to cross the Potomac.
If so, he will probably encounter the Union
armies in a different manner from the former
occasions.
AN INSIDE VIEW OF TEE REBELLION.
NEW Yoax, April 22.—Advices from North
Carolina to the 17th inst. have been received.
The Governor's council convened at Raleigh
declined calling the Legislature together,in ex
tra session, fearing it would array the State
against the Confederacy.
The Henderson, (N. C.) Times, published in
the Western part of the State, advises the peo
ple to keep out of the Confederate army, and
to stay at home and defend themselves.
The Raleigh Progress says the people are
starving in the Hotels at $5O a day, and that
many of the best families are on half rations.
The Wilmington Jiurnal is gloomy at the
prospect of affairs in the Confederacy and de
plores the sad lack of food and the bad condi.
tion of the coming crop.
The Fayetteville Carolinian laments the high
prices and lack of food, but takes comfort in
the announcement of several hundred Spring
field rifles manufactured daily in the armory
there for the Confederate service.
The news of the rebel attack on Plymouth is
.confirmed, but no particulars are received.
REBEL RAMS AND TORPEDOES.
[By the People's Line, Office No. 411 Chestnut st.
WeslliGTON, April 22.--The Navy Depart
ment has information from our Southern Block
ading vessels of the completion of certain

BELLIGERENT SHIPS IN FRENCH PORTS.
The folloWing circular issued by the Minister of
Marine to all the Maritime prefects of France has
just been published:
PARIS, 15th February, lEk4—To the Maritime
Prefects—The Imperial Government, by its de
claration of the lUth of June, 1%1, published in the
Moniteur. made known the principles forming the
basis of the neutrality it intended observing in the
war now k devastating North America. Since then
these principles have been applied practically
troth in the colonies and in the ports of the mother
country.
2eNevertheless, the continuation of hostilities
having led the belligerents to carry the theatre of
maritime hostilities into the waters bordering the
neutral States of Europe, and having, further.
more, led them to seek in our ports the means of
repair and refitting, the Imperial Government
judges it useful to recall to your recollection the
rules to be observed for the maintenance of its neu
trality, conformably to public law and the tradi
tions of the French navy, and to determine conse
quently the treatment which should be applied.
Without distinction of flag, to the vessels of the
belligerents.
You will, therefore, have to hold to the strict
execution of the following dispositions.
1. No vessel-of-war or belligerent corsair will
be admitted to reins= More than 24 hours in
a port of the French Empire, or of any of the
French colonies, or in the adjacent waters, saving
in case of a forced relaxation of this rule by reason
of stress of weather or exhaustion of the supplies
necessary for the security of navigation
2. In no case can a belligerent make use of a
French port with warlike intent, or to take on sup.
plies of arms or munitions of war, or to undertake,
under pretextof repairs, any work having for its
object the strengthening of the owarlike power of
the vessel.
3. You areprohibited from furnishin war ves
sel or belligerent cruiser with supplie , outfit or
means of repair, beyond such as are ecessary for
the security of ts voyage.
4. No war vessel or belligerent cruiser, permit.
ted to repair and take in supplies in a French port,
will be allowed to prolong its stay beyond a period
of twenty-four hours alter its supplies shall have
been embarked and its repairs completed, saving
in the case hereinafter provided for. Whenever
war vessels, cruisers or commercial vessels of the
two belligerent parties shall chance to meet in a
French port, there shall be an interval, which
must not be less than twenty-four hours, between
the departure of any vessel of one of the bellige
rents and the subsequent departure of any war yes- .
sel or cruiser of the other belligerent. The delay,
in case of need, will be extended on the order of
the maritime authority, and will continue as long
as may be necessary.
It will be your duty to communicate these pr
visions to all ships of either belligerent preSenting
themselves in the harbors, roadsteads or waters,
subject to your commands.

sacola fame, has just received from GoveThor
Seymour a commission as Colonel of the 69th
New York regiment.
The Washington correspondent of the Herald
writes that Major-General Crittenden has been
assigned to an important command, and ordered
to report to General Burnside. General Crit
tenden has been relieved by the court martial
upon his case from any imputation whatever.
The finding not only exculpated him entirely,
but showed that he had done his duty and his
whole duty. His transfer to the Army of the
East is a part of_ the programme of General
Grant to infuse into the Eastern army some of
the vim and confidence of success that has al
ways attended the Western army while under
his command.
Mr. Isherwood, the Engineer-in-Chief of the
United States Navy, and Mr. Martin, inventor
of the Martin boiler, have arrived in New York,

way Company This was an action to recover
damages for the loss of services of plaintiff s son„
a boy et 15 3 ears of age. In May last the boy was
riding on the front platform of one of the cars of
Company defendant, and when near his place of
destination, the driver not stopping the car, but
going on faster as the boy was leaving, the boy fell
from the platform and the car passed over his right
arm and so injured it as to require amputation.
The defence was that the boy lett the inside of the
car and took his position on the p's.tform nesr the
driver. When near his place fur getting off he
stated to the driver his intention of leaving, and
the driver then requested him to hold on until he
got to-the crossing where he would stop the car.

driver was applying the brake. In doing so he
jumped with his back to the horses, and when he
touched the ground he fell and his arm went under

Governor Seymour and the New
York State Militia.
1304 A
WASHINGTON, April 22.—The discussion last
evening on the bill to refund $700,000 of war
expenditures to Pennsylvania ; took a much
wider range upon a substitute offered by Mr.
Blaine, of Maine, providing for the appointment
of a commission to ascertain the war debts of all
the loyal States with a view to their ultimate as
sumption and liqnidation by the General Gov.
ernment. Mr. Blaine supportell his proposi
tion in a speech which receiveTthe fall atten
tion of the House. He argued the justice of
such a policy, and cited precedents for it, and
debated at some length the expediency of
adopting his proposition. There was no fina
vote on the amendment.
THE NEW YORK STATE MILITIA
ALBANY, N. Y., April 22d.—Exaggerated
rumors prevail in reference to a call of the
War Department upon Governor Seymour for
the State Militia.
These rumors grow out of intelligenee re
ceived here from the War Department that the
State troops will be received by General Dix
for guard and other special duty in and around
the harbor and forts of New York, during the
absence of the volunteer forces recently sta
tioned there.
The Governor has tendered to the War De
partment the use of the militia regiments for
the defence of the forts around New York and
elsewhere on the frontiers.
He thinks this desirable,as well to relieve the
troops detained within the State for such pur
poses, as to afford the National Guard desira
ble opportunity for drill and practice.
