After ft two weeks’ Bojourn in y the«excitable town*

whipping which Gen. Granger gave Van Dornseems;
tohavesatisfied that notorious rebel, and, although
his cavalry'hover around-op all the pikes, they are*
evidently indisposed to make any further demon
strations at present. From the movements on
Thursday last the General-believed he would be at
tacked on Friday or. Saturday, and thereupon had
removed tothis city moat of the sick andwounjled

About a dozen rebel families have been absolutely
starved out at Franklin, and sent South? General
Granger, will not listen to any complaints, as he ap
points a provOßt marshal daily, who holds office at
the courthouse in the town, with instructions to al

Jarge number of the inhabitants have uaed, for fuel,
.their shade, ornamental, and fruit trees, and their
lencea, stables, and other v out-houses. Yesterday; ten

to be sent':,South. If general Granger remains in’

are coming!” a most ludicrous scene occurs. The

OPERATIONS OF STONEMAN’S CAVALRY
:: rj \ . CORPS. ' .
We Icarj. from an officer who arrived from War
renton Juiction last night, some’interesting par
ticulars respecting General Stoneman’s expedition.
The original, plan having been frustrated by the
l ain-storim that set in the day after Gen. Stoneman
advanced,(he has* turned his attention to other
pointß. Be has Bcoured the country pretty well be- 1
tween-Falmouth and Sulphur Springß, and mow
reßts attwanonton. /
The retfels attempted to shell Mb camp, near Rap
pahannock station, a day or two since, but accom
.plißhed nothing.':•
Randolui’s Black- Horse Cavalry, which have
been Warrenton, have been dis
pel sed, aqa their acting, commander, Lieut? Paine,
was made prisoner. 'The company, or squadron, is'
commandid by Capt Randolph, but he ianow suffer
ing Irom li juries by a fall from his horse some days
ago. La .
Lieutenant Paine, who was in temporary com
mand, wa} captured on a. previous occasion by the
same regihent, Bth Pennsylvania, about four miles
irom the pame place; where they repeated the ex
ploit. Piine belongs in Warrenton.
General Stoneman’s command has captured sixty
odd prisoners. vThey have been out ten days with
out tents hr wagons, their stores and baggage being
carrie_d won pack mules.
The Btill very high, and only a squadron
or tworhafee crossed the Rappahannock at any point.
The Genfraris .exceedingly chagrined at being pre
: vehted''il6m making lenective movements by the
April fains, and chafes at the thought that the peo
ple of th* North may wonder that fie does not make'
them, .while they, cannot fully appreciate the causes
of delay. !• '' - * ' •

A WOUNDED TRAITOR AND A RENEGADE,
SergWt Ames, formerly of Co. L, N. Y. Fifth
Cavalraswas the scoundrel who deserted to Mose
by’s^glmg'of guerillas, and subsequently acted as
their guide two raids into Fairfax. > The
sergeant, who is called. ,r ßig Yankee,” was. once
’of the best soldiers in his rcginfent? He ’
once whipped three of Ashby’s taking one
of theni prisoner. : . .. - *
While .on a scouting expedition, they fired upon
‘•*him?fropi. the edge of a wood,-and alter he had
• drawmtheir fire, he retreated. When they pursued
him in the open field, he wheeled, and opened .fire
upon them, compelling two to fice, and . one to sur
render. .
Captain -Dye, commissary. of the Third brigade,
Stahl’s division, was so impressed with the efficiency
of Ames that he made ‘him a commissary and quai>
termasler sergeant. Soured by the promotion of
others in his regiment, and poisoned by the promises
of Moiieby, he deserted~to him, and became one of
hie besi Boldiers.
Moseby says if all the Federal cavalry were like
“ Big; Yankee ” they would .j conquer anything.
Moseby’s gang have all the plunder they capture,
and Ames has Bent word to his regiment, by some
returned,prisoners, that he has “made’* five good
hbrses'siDce he joined Moseby.

renegade now ließ dangerously
wounded in a house in Middleburg. If Colonel

CAPTURE OF THE “PARROTT BATTERY.”
j Suffolk, April 22.—Two hundred and fifty men,
tached from the 89th New York and Btii Connecfci
t Regiments, crossed the Nansemond river on one
the gunboats, some two miles below Suffolk, and
inarged upon the chief rebel entrenchments.' As
fhe party landed from the;gunboat, the enemy fired
upon them, killing four and wounding several. Our
neh'then started oft'with a yell, ana did not stop
hntil in possession of the works. Most of the ene
my left their guns and retired precipitately, to their
l“ rat-holes,” or excavations, made clbae to the para
.pet, with a view- to ‘ avoid bursting shells. 1 These
j“rat-holes,” I believe, are original with rebel engi
meers;: They were soon induced to emerge from
i their hiding-places by loaded muskets pointieg down
the apertures. Our party found a dead rebel inside
the works with his hands and feet tiedup by ropes.
They. ‘were informed that he had been shot for
cowardice. ;
The rebel gunß were turned upon the enemy’s re
serve, and a constant skirmishing was kept up
during the night. The number of our wounded is
reported as high as twenty.
Colonel Donahue, of the Connecticut regiment,
commanded the party, General Getty; superintend
ing it from the gunboat. The affair occurred about
seven o’clock on Sunday evening, just as the rebels
had finished “ taking tea.”
THE “ CHESTER ” IRON-OLAD ON DUTY.
The gunboats in the Nansemond have been shell
ing the opposite banks almost the entire day. One
rebel battery has been silenced, and the rebel sharp
shooters are now of a more “quiet and retiring
disposition.” This evening the iron-dad Lehigh
ascended to the the western branch of :the
Nansemondj and is now engaged with her.heavy,
pieces in. disturbing the . enemy ’s ■. batteries. The
river above the mouth , of the western branch is'too
Hballow.to admit of her coming higher. '
The troops in this vicinity are in fine spirits, and are
better off as regards their camps, than any portion
of our army I have yet seen.
WHAT GEN. HALLECK IS DOING.
* General Halleck has paid us a flying visit to-day.
He arrived at theddpdt in the four P.M. train, and
was received by General Peck; with his dashing
staff and a numerous escort of cavalry. The cus
tomary salute was fired, and the commander-in-chief
was,whirled past to Gen. Peck’s headquarters in a
coach, followed by a brilliant cavalcade of officers.
I observed the general later in the evening making
the tour of our lines and inspecting everything mi
nutely. ■ .
What the intentions of the enemy are I cannot
even gueßß. One thing lam certain of, and that is,
that we are ready for him at all times. The gun
boats Arc - working away in quite a manner
this evening, but no other sound than the howling
and explosion of theii shells breaks the stillness of
the night. ir
From appearances, if left to my own judgment, I
should say that the enemy are retreating. Hut mili
tary men toll me that the contiaryis true; a.o I must
bow to their better judgment, though the actions of
the rebels have marvellous indications of a retreat.
AFFAIRS ON THE PENINSULA.
Fortress Monroe, April 23.—The presence of.
Major General Halleck at- this post yesterday, and
his inspection of our works and position, is also an
augury of an earnest support of Major General
Dix’s policy by the-authorities'at Washington. If
Rear Admiral Lee will only co-operate with the
aimy, weshall not only, defeat the enemy, but.drive
him beyond 1 the Blackwater, which he would never
have crossed, only to secure provisions, and forage.
daya ago I informed you that the rebel
General Wise, having taken possession of Williams
.burg, found' that some two hundred and fifty unfor
tunates in the lunatic asylum were in an almost
starving condition, to which he could offer no re
medy.' Wise therefore'sent a flag of truce to Major
General E. D. Keyes, commanding at Yorktown,
stating that “ our wagons would be allowed to carry,
provisions to the asylum unmolested,” if General
Reyes would, supply them. As the rebels have no
means to feed their own people,'and the poor idiots,
although relatives of traitors now in arms againßt
our Government. General Keyes, for the sake of
humanity, ordered a Bupply to be taken for distribu
tion to Williamsburg, to feed the patients of the In
sane Asylum.

was ‘‘advancing; upon" Patterson,*where only a few
Federals were posted. --Subsequent and reliable in--

1,600 or 2,000; and rendered-it certain that they had :
attacked Patterson, and met with a vigorous resist
ance from the troops under Col. Smart.
.This morning a despatch has been, received by
General Davidson, from that officer, giving the par
ticulars of the engagement; during which the Fede
rals fell slowly back, contesting the ground sharply,
to within eight miles this Bide of Patterson. There
the enemy halted, and after the lapse of several
hours, had failed to renew the fight.
The occurrence took place yesterday. • We are au
thorized to state that no fears need be entertained of
the further progress of the rebels, as an abundant
force is at hand to insure their hasty retreat.
The following is official from the headquarters of
General commanding. ‘
General Davidson informs Gen. Curtia that he haß
received the following report of a movement on our
. pickets near Patterson: .
Pilot Knob, April 20.1863.
Fo General Davidson:
I could not communicate , with you yesterday.
The line was cut off as soon aB the engagement
began, which was six miles from our postal had a
scout out on Black . River, who found the enemy
early yesterday morning, but they succeeded in cut
ting them offi so that they could not communicate
with me.
The attack began about 12 o’clock, on the Reeves 1 '
Station road; with a scout I had sent out in that di
rection. I then sent Maj._ Wood on to reinforce
with a battalion. He held them in check and skir
mished them into town. This gave me time to load
my trains and have them ready to move, if I had to
re-retreat.
Before I left the town I destroyed what stores I
could not bring away.; nothing fell into the hands of;
theefiemy. The fight continued to Big Creek, about
eight miles this side of Patterson. The engagement
was severe in the extreme; After fighting hand to
hand at Big creek they got in my frout.and attempted
to cut off my retreat, but I forced my way to the
ford on this»side of the creek. The enemy did not
renew the engagement. My loss in killed, wounded
and.missing in the action was about 60.

■ The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal of the lBth inst.
says: We regard it as more’than probable that a
large portion of General Hill’s troops have already

the siege bad been abandoned, and that the. enter
prise, so far as Washington is concerned, had turned

It may turn out otherwise, but we are reluctantly

AFFAIRS IN CHARIi'ESTON HAL.BOR.
The Charleston Courier of the 18th instant says:
On Friday morning one of the Yankee blockaders,
supposed to be the gunboat Flambeau, crossed the
bar and commenced firing on the wreck of: the Keo
kuk. Two small boats with parties from Morris
Island were at work upon the wreck, endeavoring to
bring away some additional trophies. The parties
retired, the gunboat firing at them, but' doing no
damage. Several shots passed over the Morriß
ißlandibatteries. One of our batteries opened fire,
it is tfelieveff asfhe Ya.ukee boat hastily
backed out of range, not thking time to turh round, '
and shortly after recroesed tfie.bar.'Th.e.guaboat
Ohicora steamed down the harbor .to take part ihthe
action, but the enemy.had withdrawn ana gone out
to sea long before our gunboat could reach her. The
Flambeau was no doubt on a reconnoitring tour, to
ascertain what arrangements might be made for
blowingup the Keokuk.
There were fourteen blockaders, including the
Ironsides,'off the bar on Friday morning.
The heavy fifing heard-on Friday afternoon *we
learn was caused by one of our batteries on James
Island opening upon* a Yankee gunboat in Little
Folly river, near’- Campbell’s place. The gunboat
replied, and the firing was kept up on both sides for .
some time. The gunboat afterwards got out of
range, and the firing ceased. Our battery sustained
mo injury.

McClellan's career. It also says:
“The statue of Henry Olay, in the Capital square,
has been shamefully mutilated by persons who have
ho sense of decency or veneration for the memory of
the great statesman whom it represents.”
MISCELLANEOUS.
MuRFKKKSBonojTENrr, April 21,1863.—1 have a
batch of late rebel newspapers, which are as dull aB
existence at Murfreesboro. The Chattanooga Rebels
of the 13th, labors to prove that the Southern are
the best, food-producing States, and declares that
“the idea of subjugating the South by means of
starvation is abßurd, and shows a lamentable igno
rance of the true condition of things, and a total
misconception of the capacity and resources of the
States of the Southern Confederacy.” Part of the
above view is undoubtedly correct. We never will
starve the South into submission. They are greatly
distressed now. Two months hence they will have
another years’ supply of wheat. When we destroy
their armies they.will submit,‘and not until then.
* A letter from a correspondent at Vicksburg chiefly
discusses the beautiful gardens of that city, but it
descends after awhile to material things. . For .in
stance: “ Three months ago there were mariytkow
sand hogsheads of sugar lying on the hill” [ls not
said correspondent “lying?”] “sides fronting the
river at Vicksburg. Sugar was then worth from ten
to fifteen cents per pound by the wholesale; now it is.
worth seventy-five cents, and is still advancing.”
Bad management of railroad transportation is as
signed as the cause for this famine price; The cor
respondent knows an enterprising speculator who
paidfive cents per pound for nine hogsheads, and is
selling it at 70@75 cents.

The New York Evening Post of to-day says:
The chief topics of discussion in Wall street this morn
ing are—first, the gratifying condition of the national
finances, as appears from the fact that, at a lower aver
age rate of interest than has been paid for large war’
loans by Governments In Europe, Mr. Chase is raising
all the money required by the present wants of the Na
tional Treasury. . , •
The market opened very strong. The easy money
market is developing a tendency toward activity in
stocks.: and must shortly extend its influence to the
general business of the country. Harlem is stiU favored
with the attention of speculators, but the more* prudent
class regard this stock as risky, both for other reasons,
and, especially because, even if all the claims under old
charters were. realized, it would not be worth the price
at which it has sold to-day. - ?
