AV - Voluntary correspondence solicited from all parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departmente: When dsed, it Will be paid for. . • THE NEWS. THE news which we publish from 'Richmond pers of yesterday, telegraphed from the headquar = tern of the' Army of the Ptitomac, is very important. It is rumored that General Hosecrans has: made - a great Movement to cheek the advance of General Longstreet in Kentucky. The rebels at Chattanoo ga are of the opinion that the former has retreated. General Joseph' Johnston, Commander-in= Chief of - the rebel army in-the Southwest, has permanently located his headquarters at Tullthonia, -Alaba . ma. An attack 'upon Charleston is looked for by- the rebels about the emt of April, When tliesPricig tides net in. , There „a great ecareity of, food expe rienced througheut the S,outh,in consequence of the military `mtinepolyrof allthe rail/6AL . _ Gnu pickets, near the Oceoquan,were attacked on Saturday night by a body of guerillas, numbering about cne hundred. _ The pinketsmatte a very reso lute stand, and; though - Only `twenty-four to nurn ber, sustained the attack. Of the whole rebel force. The rebele•Carrled off' tWelve .prisoners, killed one and wounded three or ibur of our men. We cap tured one of their wounded men, supposed to be a lieutenant. It is believed that the rebel force.was composed in a measure of the citizens in the vicini ty, and that they have been trying for some time to take our men unawares. The pickets were frOm the 2d Pennsylvania Cavalry. None of the officers were captured. ',ln consequence of this, troops have been sent to Centreville.' • ' • • Am - rose frtim Parkersburg Va of Saturday, state that the daily packets and transient steam : boats used 'latterly by, the Government for tempora ry service On- the Ohio river being now released, . trans. goods are now ported with despatch as hereto fOre, from thie point to Fortemouth, Maysville, Cin cinnati, Madison, Louisville, &c. ' Tun ignorant and reckless persons'in Noble coun ty, Ohio, who conspiredtoyesist the military autho ritiee in the arrest of deserters, and organized for that purpose, fled before the troops sent to enforce law and order, without waiting to 'see the bayonetir, and are now hiding themselves. They talked very defiantly until they saw the authorities were in ear nest, but shrank from the overt act of crime they had contemplated. So it will be elsewhere. It is a happy circumstance that this speck of. civil war in Ohio has passed away without the shedding of a drop of blood. We hope the lesson will prove suffi cient.' Whatever 'force - may be necessary to arrest deserters. andenforce the laws will unquestionably be employed,; without hesitation. - AN expedition, composed of two regiments ofloyal Indiana, projected by General West; commanding the Department of New. Mexieo, has returned to Santa Fe from a successful incursion into south western Texas. 'These loyal -Indians succeeded in destroying a vast amount of rebel property and cap . turfing a large number of horses, Scp. A . number. of Texsuirebels were killed in a series of skirmishes. . Tun London papers are full of theduce . of Wales , wedding.' The entrance of the Princeei Alex . andra..into London was a magnificent reception. Descriptions -of the - bridal presents, trosseau, and everything' else pertaining to the great event, croivd the-columns of the Enklish press, and have been for weeks past the• mental condiment of the Ei3glish people. , Tan body:of the late General Sumner lay in state at the City 'Hall of Syracuse yesterday, and was Visited by a large concourse of citizens— The hine rid of the old hero, will take plaCe to-day, and will probably be-the most imposing ceremony, of the kind ever witnessed in Western or Central New York. Tux decline in gold at New York yesterday was very sudden and rapid. Between nine o'clock in the morning and one in the afternoon it declined three and a'quarter per cent. ADVICES from the West state that the evacuation of Vicksburg is being advocated by the rebels, for the purpose of massing their troops with the army of Middle Tennessee, for strategic advantages. Pro- minent rebels claim that Rosecians would, in that. case; be obliged to repeat General Buell's move ments of- last yeag. The rebels 'are reconnoitring 'General. Rosecrans' entire front, but - do not appear to be anxious to bring on a general engagement.. Tux news from Gen. Grant's . army about Vick-s -burg is important. It is 'reported that our forces have got into the rear of the batteries at Haines's Bluff, and that we have successfully flanked the rebel position at Vickeburg. If this be true, and there is little-doubt of it, the latter stronghold.will probably be evacuated. The Mississippi river will be opened to . legitimate navigation in a short time now, unless some extraordinary disaster should occur to the armies of Gene. Banks and Grant. ; - THE court martial convened for the trial - of Col, - D'Utaesy, of the Garibaldi Guards, on charges of extortion, slander, and forgery, of which the nume rous specifications cover more than sixty printed pages, has been dissolved by Gen. Casey,. for what reason is not positively known. - Two free-born colored boys, who went out as .ser vants to some of the officers in the 42d Massachusetts Regiment, and;at the capture of GalVeston were taken by the rebels, have been sold into slavery by their . captors. - What a commentary upon the . boasted civilization of the age is this enslavement of free-born Northern boys! ON the 24th ult., Gen.:Hardee was united in bonds of wedlock to Miss Ready, of Murfreesboro, sister to the wife of Gen. John H. Morgan. - The marriage took place at Tullahoma; and was attended by all the military grandees. A LETTER from our correspondent at Lebanon, Me., published on the Brat page of this paper, giies an interesting review of affairs in the " Department of the Southwest." It is intimated 'that General Sterling Price will make a vigorous effort to invade Missouri once more: Tni3'rebel battery at Greenwood, on the Talla hatchie river, which opposed, at last accounts, the passage of our fleet, is said to be manned with rifled guns, which throwconioal shot. The rebel force at that point is not known. Our extracts from the Richmond papers this morning are very interesting. The straits of the rebels are narrowed down to a disagreeable con traction. THU Connecticut soldiers at Port Royal, South Carolina, have been greatly excited against. one of their officers, who was endeavoring to fraudulently obtain the signatures of a 'Umber of Men in his regi. ment to a series of peace resolutions. FROM Missouri, we learn that one of our scouting parties has had ti sharp skirmish with a portion of Quantrill's guerillas; in which we suffered a small loss. - GOVERNOR CURTIN left Washington yesterday for the purpose otvisiting the Army of the Potomac on business connected with the Pennsylvania troops. A. GENERAL court martial has been convened at No. Norfolk, Virginia, to try such prisoners as anay -be brought before it. Tan slookof-war Juniata has arrived in Hamp ton Roads, after a succesaftil •trial trip from this city. - A LETTER from Port Royal says the number of freed slates in that department is nearly seventeen thousand. The Financial Situation. The tall of gold, in New York, with the report that we have - from blr. JAY COONEj the Government agent for the sale of its loan's, are among the most gratifying signs of the strength of the country, aid-the con fidence of the people in the. Admiaistration. On Monday Mr. COOKE received $830,000 from all parts' of the country,while yester . day - the large sum of $1,200,000 was , added . to it. - This subscription has increased from clay to day, *and in ten days 'over five millions has been obtained. This, it must be TC membereil, is the voluntary offer of thO people. - Many of the subscriptions come.. frowlie .agripultural districts..

In three hours yesterday it fell from 150 to 147, or at the rate of one per cont.. an hour. This is a healthy - sign, and is - to•be etti:ibu ted to tie goocl manageinegt:Of Mr. :CfrA.sg,' and to that feeling of confidenee in the:Ad ministration which is making itself manifest in every loyal State, and which' is seen,in the great reaction that is taking place "against the syMpathizers with the rebellion. Now let us have a great victory, and a prospect of an . honorable peace, and the financial prospect will be a magnificent-reality. A Deserved: Promotion. In the multitude of army appointments, recently made, we have omitted to refer, editorially, with the commendation it de serves, to that of Colonel GEORGE CROS 3mAN, of this city, who has been promoted :to the post of assistant quartermaster gene ,ral, with the rank of a full colonelcy, in the, regular.army.

WASHINGTON, Mareli:•24, .1.863. The time will sPeedily. come When the eyes of the country will again be turned to the banks of the RaPpiliannoek. 'We' can see by the rebel newspapers, that the i'irtny of the. Potomac is inspiring a spirit of dread that was once :attached to its name, but which defeat and mismanagement in afterdays de stroyed. - In addition to this, every courier from'the army, every officer : and soldier who phases through: Washington on his way to liis.Northern home, speaks with enthusiasm `of his comthanding general, of the cause, and, above all, of the good , temper and discipline that pervadejthe army. It may be safely'stated that the Army:of the m PO _ toac . was never in a better "condition-than it is at this time. There is' more unity of purpose, a, better 'acquaintance. - with .the duties of the soldier's life, Mid , a more reckless disregard of- its dangers.

General Hooker, during the few weeks in which he has been commanding-general, has effected great re forms.

He has rescued , the army from. a de moralization as wretched as defeat, . and by his kindness, firinnesS, and" en'ergyi he has changed. the. Army .

The frosts' of winter are Over; the days are 'be coming phial anti ple,astint, and two weeks of reasonable spring weather will make the roads hard and thy. Everything. indicates an early and active campaign. It is not known whether the rebels will receive battle on. the Rappahannock: The tone of the . Richmond papers is thcaight to indicate an" evacuation. of Fredericksburg, and 'a retreat to a point ,nearer Richthond: The ,rebels would be:delighted to entice us once again into the:swamps of the ChickahOminy, and for that reason they may fall back to their old - line. of. defences. If General Hooker permits them to do this, he is not the Man his friends suppOse him to be. You will re member when he gave his evidence before the Senate committee, in reference to the bat tle of Frederickshurg; he indic,ated a certain Movement, in. hich : he hoped to flank the rebel position at Fredericksbitrg and, avoid .their - fortified hill-tops. Gen. Burnside overruled that plan, and perhaps 'his jud.g meth was . better. There were those Who differed from Gen. Burnside, and alltide to the - circumstance for the purpose of il lustratina the great traits" in Gen. Hooker's character—caution, energy, and boldness. When he moves it will be with experienced officers, a veteran army, and the good will of ,the the, to support hiM. He, has it in his power to do Morefor his country than has ever before fallen to the lot, of a public man. He may be the Saviour of, his coim try.

Such a - retreat Would be greatest victory Rosecrans has yet obtained,', . as it would release,the mountain country of: Tennessee with , Its eppressed Union: people from .a desPotism of - death. . The ,. affairs about Charleston are not so gratify ing—the correspondents finding more to say about the 'quarrels of the-comthanding gene rals than their victories or their military:effi ciency. Butiny 'faith in this"war has been net so.much in the generals as, the. soldiers, and it_ is very, evident that-the Administration Will: make a short shrift ,of the commanders who give so much attention to etiquette; and 'so little to the real duties of : their position: . Taking a survey of the whole field however, I think the loyal man has cause for gratitude and hope. .We only need 'a general:advance along the lines—a united effort and a' - mighty blow.

Rumors were in circulation of the evacuation of Haines' bluff; and that the Bth Missouri regiment had gone up to garrison that place. If this report is true, it foreshadows the fall or evacuation of Vicks burg. The Dona - Tat learns that a gentleman, who has just arrived from Vicksburg, states that the steamer -Diligent, with the Bth Missouri regiment, had suc ceeded in entering the Yazoo river, above Haines'. Bluff. Her course was through the Oypress bayou, which debouches in the Yazoo opPosite . Johnson's plantation, where General Sherman's troops landed last December; thence through Steele's bayou into the Sunflower, which empties into the Yazoo river twenty miles above Haines' Bluff. The:steamer Diligent was accompanied by a light, gunboat. As soon as it was found-possible to get through, four iromclads followed. Our inforMant also .says that thousand. men had gone up before this movement:was made. • Our force can thus be placed between Elaines"-Bluff and Yazoo city, which'ivill enable us to operate in the rear of our, former position and bring the eneiny be tween two fires.

THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25. 1863. as such displays of heartless white sullianistrinare• popularly called, broke out - yesterday on the pier owned by the Erie Railroad CoMpany, foOt ofNorth' Moore street. The employes of the company, some two hundred in number, having struck for an in . 7 crease of their wages from $1.25 to $1.50 per day, the foreman of the stevedores very injudiciously em ployed a number of negro laborers to remove some bales of cotton from the pier. As soon as the strikers noticed this moment, they savagely assault .ed the blacks with missiles of every . - description, • driving them from their work and pursuing them as they dispersed, with showers of billets and bricks. Not content with this, they, made a cowardly attack upon a colored man who had been attracted to the scene by' the crowd, maltreating him shamefully. This man had the courage to ~go before a jus tice and prefer a charge of assault aim.' battery against a man named ' Burns, his principal, assailant. Burns artfulll , preferred a counter cbatge, whereupon the virtuous .magis trate discharged the white rowdy, and locked up his sable victim. Exultant with their glorious victory over the unresisting creatures, the two hundred rioters forthwith made their quarrel with the rail road grandies—a general war against black men, greatly to the admiration of the ornamental pollee, force in attendance, who, would not permit colored draymen even to drive past the pier. The company , finally compromised, by agreeing to pay -the ad vanced rate to all' save the ringleaders of the strike, and most of the heroes went to work again.. To-day the police are on guard at the pier; to prevent an ex pected raid by the aforesaid much-injured riaglead ers,who are greatly disgusted at ftnding themselves left, out in the cold, and breathe horrible threats against the negroes. MURDER MOST. FOUL was perpetrated last evening by a deserter named O'Meara, his wife being the victim, and his home the scene. O'Meara, who had been upon a lOw drinking frolic for some days previous, entered, the room where his wife was bending over her wash-tub,' and stepping noiselessly behind her, razor in hand, cut her throat from ear to ear before she could make the least attempt to defend herself. The poor woman managed to stagger into an adjoining room, occUpied by a neighbor, where she named her husband as the assassin.

The play opens in a Pittsburg coal mine, and Jeasie appears as the crazed wife of a poor, but honest miner. She has been made insane by a previous explosion of a fire-damp in said mine, whereby her "stern parients” were reduced to their original (ode Darwin) fragments; but as the wily evidence she gives of her insanity is an expressed wish to get into fashionable life, her luisband is not aware of her mental affliction. A smooth villain induces her to gain high life by eloping with him to New York, and the husband learns from - his coal-mining associated that she has per-rooved ah-Talse! Tableau. Then' the husband puts himself in danger of taking cold by imprudently washing his face, and starts for New York in pursuit of the fugitives. He comes here, finds Jessie and her villain at a Fifth-avenue residence; has a duel with the villain, without much loss of blood, and puts such a terrific charge into his pistol that the report restores Jessie to sanity, and, subsequently, to her husband's arras. Tableau! Floral: Do not marry while you are yet a miner. You will.:Perceive that Pennsylvanfa and New York have an equal interest in this moral dra ma, which showsthat even coal-dealem , may have consciences. • , Miss Lucille Western aided the cause of morality on the same evening, at the Winter darden, by pro ducing her devotit: drama of ",East Lynne." . She portrayed the erring wife with such truth to nature unadorned, that her impersonation was not even adorned with good grammar. Such intense pre-Ea- - phaelitism should be its own reward; otherwise, I fear, it will go unrewarded. - At the Academy of Music, the convalescence of. the plump and fair Medori was signalized by the long-deferred production of "Norma," which admirably swig and acted.

Journal of Saturday gives the fol lowing particulars of the last illness' and death of General Sumner : - -He reached his home in this city, frpm Washing ton, on Friday, the 13th inst., having just received from the President an appointment to the Depart went of the West, and intended, early this week, to fake his departure for his headquaiters; at St. Louis. On Sunday last he attended church,. and appeared to be in his usual good health. The next morning, about 2 o'clock, he was taken with a high fever, which appeared to be the result of a bold. Dr. Trowbridge was called, and, at the patient's request, mild remedies were administered to him, lib that he might not be prevented from making his intended journey. The next day his conditicin was such that his physician put him under vigorous medical treatment. On that day, the succeeding day, and even as late as Thursday,-Gen. Sumner daily expressed his de termination to proceed to St. Louie, and but for the absolute refusal of his , physician to permit it, he would have undertaken thejourney. On Thursday noon he directed that a special car be procured for him and the members of his staff, and that rooms be ordered for him, by telegraph, that night, at Butra/0- it "was while endeavormg to corivmee' bit - faintly that he had the strength to stand the ride by railroad to Buffalo, by walking several times across the hall adjacent to his room; that he took the additional cold which developed his disease into a severe at tack of congestion of the lungs, .mhich .terminated fatally in thirty-six hours afterwards. lie felt that it was imperatively necessary. that he should be in St:Louis at once, and in his endeavor to discharge what he considered a high duty to his country he, sacrificed his life. The responsibility which he attached to his enter ing upon his new command immediately grew out of the peculiar circumstances under which it . was conferred upon him. His appointment to the De partment of the West was asked of the President by Attorney General Dates, 'the Senators and Repre aentatives in Congress from Missouri and the civil authorities of that State, in the behalf that his pre sence-in command there would restore confidence among the entire people of the State; that the 'farmers would this spring:resume their usual avoca tions, and that the blessings of peace and prospe- , ray would again be reinstated. - - , •-• When General Sumner's disease assumed the form of congestion of the lungs, his physicians (Drs. Trowbridge and Shipman) pronounced his condition critical, but_ they did not despair of his restoration to health until Friday , afternoon about two o'clock, when a great change,took' place—his fever left him . , and he suffered intense physical agony, accompanied by profuse perspiration; and soon he sank into a lethargic state from which he did not rally. Towards evening of Friday, the dying• soldier /attemPted vainly to speak intelligibly to those about him. At last, when a glass of wine was handed him, he took it in his band, and with a great effort waved it 'abbve his bead, and spoke in a voiee as clear and distinct as ever, "G od save my country. the United States of America I" These were the last words ,oi -the patriot hero. He sank rapidly until a quarter past one o'clock, and died peacefully. Gen.. Sumner was in his sixty-seventh year family, consisted of, his wife, who survives him, four daughtersairs..Tenkins, Mrs. Col. Teall, Mrs. Col. Long, and Mrs. Col. McLean and two sons, E. V. Sumner, Jr., on Major- General - Stoneman's staff, :and' Samuel -Sumner, captain on his father's staff; both of whom are in the regular army.: Major Major Sumner is expected to reach here On Mon day morning, and Gen.S.'s wife, second son,and twe of his daughters, are nowhere.

[DOB ADDITIONAL CITY WIEWEI BEE 'FOURTH PAGE.] . - ABDUCTION UASE.--: - CollSiderable excite- merit was caused, - yesterday, in Chestnut street, near Ninth, by the appearance of a woman, in the garb of a nurse, pursuing a. cab and York wagon, and crying, at the top of her voice, "murder." She was, however, unable to overtake the vehicles, as were also the police officers, who joined in the pur suit, and who unwittingly followed the small-ve hicle instead of the large one. The cause of the dis turbance appears from the following facts : A. gentle man. residing at the Girard House has had family difficulties with his wife, and the two are.separated, the latter living in New 'York. The gentleman has with him his only son, a child of some six years. Yesterday morning, the child was taken out for a walk by a nurse, and, on returning to the hotel, was accosted by a Man, who asked the privilege of taking "little Johnny down stairs to see his grand mother." This request was granted. Tee child was taken to `a cab' standing near at hand, into -which he was suddenly thrown, the door closed, and the coachman ordered to drive off; which he did in haste. In the carriage were two ladies, thickly veiled, and a man. It is -alleged that the carriage was driven to Marketatreet ferry, and' that 'after crossing the river the- party went as far as Haddon field, where the cabman was dismissed. The gentle man and his wife are well known in the city. At present we refrain from giving the current stories in regard to the cause of the affair. The husband, it will suffice to say, was a naval officer,'a relative of the rebel General Robert-Lee , and has already se cured the services of Geo. M. Wharton as counsel. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CliuttCll. Last evening the fourth anniversary exercises of the Young People's Association of the Tabernacle Bap tist Church were held at the church, in presence of a large number of persons. After prayer by Rev. J.H. Castle, and the singing of a hymn, the annual report of the association was read by the late secre tary, Mr. Thomas 'Munston. The, exhibit `of the condition of the association was quite flattering; and testified the zeal and industry of the individual members. It was stated that in one year over four thousand pages of tracts were distributed. The Association comprises nearly all the young men and ladies of the church, whose chief design• in thus organizing is to aid in missionary work. Al ready they have accomplished appreciative results, and the members inanifest commendable activity in their labors. The treasurer's report showed that the receipts had been such as 'to prevent any embarrass ment in the finances of the Society. After the reading of the report, addresses were de livered by Rev. E C. Eddy, Hon. Jas. Pollock, and George Cookman, Esq. TEE SUPPLY OF ICE.—The present has been one of the most remarkably mild. winters ever known in the United States.l..'!:From Beaton to St. Louis, everybody seems to be_horror-stricken at the slim chance of procuring* ice enough for their mint juleps and sherry cobblers, and the result is that the price of ice runs high. and there is considerable ex citement-in the market. This state of affairs is likely to'make ice such a luxury that few besides cotton speculators and Government contractors will be able to indulge in it. During the present season, not one -- cart-load of ice has been cut from the Schuylkill and ponds in the vicinity of Philadel phia. In some of the counties, the farmers .got a good supply of ice during the last cold snap, but the article was of a very.inferlor quality. To BE REPEATED.—The concert which took place last Thursday evening, in the Broadway Methodist Episcopal Church, Camden, proved an entire success, the chnich being crowded to suffoca tion, and, at the request of vast numbers who were unable to obtain admittance, the concert will be re peated this evening. Those who wish to be present and listen to the delightful and beautiful singing of about one hundred and fifty well-trained children, should not fail to go_ early. Professor Bruce, who patriotic pieces, is a fine singer, and well worth the price of , admission to hear. .___ . . FinE.--The 6.Tarro. -- or - nre - ait - Talnyzuriu . o'clock last night was caused by thq.burning of a rag and bone establishment at Baker and Spafford streets.

We were especially impressed with this in examining the superb sPecimeris of this branch of art displayed by Messrs. BrOanbent & Co., at their splendid galleries, Nos. 91; 914;, L nd 916 Chestnut street. The pictures made by this,...ele brated firm have the iare 'merit of combining'-.. them allthe scientific accuracy oflitreness and detail l developed in the Photographic process, and those finer effects which true art can only supply. FINE QUALITY SPRING CLOTHING AT MODERATE. PRICES.—The famous old house of Messrs. C. Somers & Son, No. 625 Chestnut street, under Jayne , a Hall, have excelled . themselves—and everybody else, ot course—in their magnificent stock of clothing now ready. , Their stock of fine fabrics, in the piece to Beleet from, is also very superior; and being among the largest operators in this de partment, their prices are unusually moderate. We advise our readers to give these gentlemen a call before purchasing elsewhere. ~, DOVNWARDS.—The tendency of gold is now.decidedly downwards, ancL the tendency of W. W. Alter stock of Coal, in hie, yard, Ninth street, above Poplar is decidedly in the same direction. 'Cause: His coal is - of the best and cleanest quality, he is liberal in his. measurement, and "sells at inside Sgures. Result: It is almost Impossible for himfto invoice coal fast enough to supply the daily in creasing demand. Nr. E. P.

It hi not alWaye easy' to fathom the controlling influences whioll cans& fluctuations. lb is the under current of the stream which decelwes us. The subscription to iltelnew five-twenty s'ex per cent. loan. at. the office of the Government agent this city, amounted to-day to a million and a quarter of dollars . certainly a very cheering fact, and which, coupled with the growing rottenness of the Southern Staten, augurs well for the speedy triumph of our cause. The sixes of Ma advanced to 105%, with- an active demand- Go vernmentz of all kinds advanced. The money market is over-supplied at s@6per cent. With such an eacesi of money as now exists,.it can scarcely figure above 5 per cent—while it may fall below, as Governmei& offers to take it at only ten dugs' notice. Theconversions of legal tenders into five-twenty loan reached $1,200,000 yesterday, at the office of Jay Co' okc, subscription. agent. The amount for Monday. and Time , day of this week reached 82,000,000, and we learn that the whole amount for ten days will foot up five millions. With these large receipts, and those on temporary, de posit with the sub treasuriee at New York ana Pitila delpiga. as also from internal revenue, Secretary Chase will have ample time to decide his future financial Polley, and to rest from the heavy labors which the late session of Congress imposed. Notwithstanding the panic in gold, prices at the Stock Exchange are very steady, which }Proves there is very little, sympathy between bullion and stocks. Currency will' affect the prices of them, however, and we hear many lamentations about a fall ia 'the stock market, on account of theeonversion of legal-tenders into Govern ment bonds. People should not forget that, just in pro portion as these bonds are absorbed for the purpose of creating new banks, we will have a double issue of cur rency for that amount. Government will again pay out legal-tenders,'while the bank really founded upon them will issue paper money up to ninety percent. of its capi tal.
