%\i f.nss. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1863, THE NATIONAL FAST. by; Hrt FIIKSIDBKT OF TITE UNITED STATES'OF AMERICA. A. PROCLAMATION. "Whereas, Tlie Senate of tlio United States, devoutly recognizing tlie supreme authority and just government of Almighty God, in all the affa s rs,of men and of nations, lias; by a resolution, requested the President to designate and set apart a day for national prayer and humiliation: And whereas it is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence lipon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins andUransgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with j?S6ured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recog nize the sublime truth, announced in fcne Goiy Scrip tures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord: , And, insomuch as we know that, by His divine law, nations, like individuals, are subjected to punishments and cbnstisements in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war, which now deso lates the land, may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people ? We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven.. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown" in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But" we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious litnd which preserved us in peace, and multiplied arid en riched and strengthened us? and we have vainly ima gined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all theso blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. . Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming ard preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to‘confess our national sins, an! to pray for clemency and forgiveness. Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and fully concurring iu the views of the Senate, I do, by this my proclamation, designate and set apart Thursday, the JtOtb. day of April, 1863, as a day of national humilia tion, fatting, and prayer. And (do hereby request all the people to abstain ou thaLday-ff^^-^^'t^dfccs'or ,i r.-r>jTrpnrarnfieir respective homes, in keepiug the day holy to the Lord, and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious dutiei proper to that solemn occasion. All this being done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the. hope, authorized by the Divine teachings, that the united cry of the nation will be hoard on high, and answered with blecsings, no less than the pardon of our national sins, and restorationof our now divided end suffering country to its former happy condi tion of unity and peace. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and earned the seal of the United States to he affixed. Done at the city of Washington this thirtieth day of .

Seward, Pecretary of State. PROCLAMATION BY HIS HONOR THE MAYOR Of PHILADELPHIA, Whereas, The‘President of the United States, being moved thereto by the Federal Senate, has set apart THURSDAY next, the thirtieth day of April, as a day of National humiliation.fasting and prayer; And tYhereas, We have cause, as a people, to take shame to ourselves before all nations and before Almighty God, that we i&Ye misused-tlie civil blessings wherewith we have been signally favored, by setting at naught the wisdom of our fathers, betraying the trust of self-government, winking at unfaithfulness and corruption in public places, and giving ourselves over to selfishness and dis. regard of our privileges as citizens: THEREFORE, it becomes us to earnestly beseech Him that He will en lighten us to the honest discharge of our duties as free men; that He will keep steadfast within us a true devo tion to oar country, to the confusion of all traitors and workers oisedition; that He will endne our rulersfwith wisdom and firmness, and that He will lead our hosts and give them strength in the conflict, that they may prevail over all rebellion; andf do hereby call upon the people ofthis city to keep such appointed day by forego, ing their usual pursuits, closing their p’aces of employ meat, and presenting themselves after their respective manner of worship before the Most High God, that, ac knowledging his Supreme Power and the righteousness of thejudgments that Ho has visited upon our land, we may implore Him mercifully to withhold His correc tions from us, and to give us welfare and peace through the speedy overthrow of all who resist the lawful au thority of our National Government. In testimony whereof, I have set my hand and { L - ?•} caused the seal of the city of Philadelphia to be affixed, this twenty-seventh day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eighthundred and sixty three. ALEXANDER HENRY, THE NEWS. We have, the dreadful news this morning that the Anglo Saxon, a steamer running from Liverpool to Portland, was wrecked on Monday, at noon, in the dreary and dangerous seas of Newfoundland. The steamer carried 460 souls, including passengers and crew, of whom 344 are said to have been lost, and among the number the commander of the ship. This we are inclined to doubt, as but two of the life-boats have arrived, while two other boats are known to be upon the ocean, and unusual efforts are being made for their safety. .We cannot conceal the fear that many have been lost, but we trust to learn during the day that a greater portion of the number on board have been Baved. Among the passengers was Hon. John Young, late Bnglish Commissioner to the lonian Islands, and his family. Further accounts of the battles fought by Gens. Banks and Grover, beyond Berwick City, La., in crease the importance of the three-days’ contest, in ■which bo much glory has been won by the Army of the Gulf, and so much property and prestige lost to the rebels. Two general officers were lost by the enemy, and a very large number of their men killed, wounded, or captured. All our ofllcers and soldiers fought promptly, skilfully, and triumphantly. Gen. Banks’ success is regarded of the highest import ance. In connection with the movements of the gunboat fleet on the Mississippi, it is supposed that the expedition of Gen. Banks will render it neces sary for the'rebel forces occupying the Btrongholds on that river to fall back upon some new base of supplies, as he will have out off their communica , tions with Texas and Mexico, through which they have so long been receiving food and munition. .The raid of rebel gangs of cavalry, under Imbo " <ien> Jenkins, and Harper, into Western Virginia, has caused much natural apprehension and some ex aggerated fear in the inhabitants about the Pennsyl vania border. The reports are confused and excited, and it is hard to extract an intelligible story. Before Monday the rebels had moved on Beverly, Western Virginia, and it was supposed they had cut off the forces under Colonel Latham, who burned Govern ment stores before leaving Beverly. Later they had gained Grafton, on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road, seized Morgantown, and threatened Union town, Fayette county, Fa,, which was preparing defence. Colonel Mulligan had been fighting with the rebels during a number of days. We have no thing but a variety of rumors, and a consoling state ment from Pittsburg, at an early hour this morning, that the "invasion ” is merely a raid, the “army ” a few guerillas, and that the people of the West are again at peace. From the Department of the South we have in teresting, but indefinite, news that the ariny and fleet are again ready for notion, and that Charleston is to be reattacked—when, it is difficult to'say. The soldiers and sailors are eager for battle, and, in the next attaok, both army and navy will participate. With these premises, Charleston should, be in our possession within the next two months, as beyond that time the hot weather will render action less practicable. From the Mississippi we have further interesting particulars of the running of the Vicksburg bat teries. |ln Burnside’s department a Kentucky or ganization of conspirators has been discovered, and the Cincinnati court-martial has sentenced a rebel spy to execution. News from rebel sources is, as usual, interesting, and in many particulars con firms our army intelligence. The mysterious movements of Gen. Grant puzzle the rebels, and are not understood generally, but great confidence is in connection with those of Gen. Banks andaAdmirals -Farragut and Porter, they will insure to us the free naviga tion of the Mississippi, and the complete isolation of the rebels. The special despatches received at ‘ Cincinnati, April 28, give no particulars of the expedition from Franklin, Tenn., and the guerilla attack on the XiOuißVille and Nashville Railroad, not forwarded by the Associated Press. The accounts all agree as to the results of the two affairs. Department of Virginia, a successful re connoissance in force from the army at Suffolk took place under order of Gen. Peck, discovering that the enemy were in large force in that vicinity. More important notion in that neighborhood is, from all indications, in no distant prospect. Rumors from the Rappahannock—we have littls express news—seem to indicate a movement.. The Times hints that, Gen. Hooker is about to advance. An officer who left the Rappahannock a day or two Bince reports that an order was given laßt week to grant no more furloughs. Nothing further had been heard from Gen. Stoneman. W® have official news of the rebel rout at Cape Giraideau. The rebels left SB dead and more than 2CO wounded It ib believed that between NeNeil Sl, f Pw eV<!r m ° Bt 0f them wiU ba captured, and so end the Missouri campaign. The Bald into tUe Mountains. We have startling news from Western Virginia, although we aie inclined to think that the reports we print this morning re present the alarm and excitement ot”the people, and the exaggerations that alarmed people naturally produce, rather than the* real condition of affairs. The idea of four thousand cavalry being in ati advanced and exposed post like Morgantown, with the mountains behind them, and without proper support,- is foolish, and; could only spring from the fancy of some frightened fugitive: It is probable that a detachment of the rebels a battalion, or a regiment, or'it may be a company or two of independent gue rillns—have ridden into Morgantown to. burn, y destroy, and obtain food, and that by this time they are returning. An advance thus far is, in itself, a bold un dertaking. Profiting by the alarm, thus created, they miiy go still further; but;- as an invasion of this State would cause their in evitable destruction, they will probably make as much as possible of their enter prise, and briny back again to their com mands to enjoy the fame of this daring and desperate ride. liven as we write these lines, a despatch arrives justifying what has been written. We are told by some calm and sensible observer in Pittsburg, that “the force at Morgantown is reported as not over 800 strong, and is supposed to be the same party of guerillas that . has been endeavor ing to damage the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.” Nothing remains for us, there fore, but to assure our. friends that the dan ger is passed, and to hope that o# soldiers in the West will swiftly punish these bold and audacious marauders. In this period of death and woe, when men ,die by hundreds and thousands and are speedily forgotten, we can hardly be ex pected to pay ,much attention to the sinking of a ship or the death of a small number of men. Yet we cannot look upon the sinking of the Anglo-Saxon, as recorded this morn ing, 'without a feeling of anguish. This vessel left England oit the 16th instant, with 860 passengers and a ship’s crew of 84, bound for Portland, Maine. While passing the neighborhood of Cape Race, in the midst of a heavy fog and a stormy sea, she foun dered, and many were lost. Our despatch says that more than three-fourths of the on hoard were among the number 'drowned. We trust, however, that this is not the case ; and, indeed, a careful reading of the despatch convinces us that many others have been or will be saved, as even' effort is being made for their rescue. JESSES’ IM^^-llffi^M^T'and^udtlOhe "worst is known we cannot think of making inquiry as to the cause of this sad calamity. The Anglo-Saxion .was in > dangerous but familiar part of the coast, and, in encoun tering a fog, merely;encountered one of the natural incidents, of a European voyage. We cannot but think that customary caution would have kept this steamer from the dan gerous vicinity of Cape Race and the dread ed coast of-Newfoundland; and we are much afraid that in chronicling this terrible disas ter," we are but showing another evidence of the. carelessness and recklessness of modern navigation. ' _ The traitor journals in tlie West are cir culating a report that Brigadier General W. A. Gorman resigned his command rather than assist Adjutant General Thomas to muster in the negro regiments, or take a command m an army in which negroes were employed. Those who knew General Gor man doubted the story. We now findfby a recent letter from that distinguished officer, that he takes the highest ground in support of the Administration, and the Proclamation of Emancipation. He says: “In my judg ment, we ought to capture as contraband of war every effective negro & the insurgent States that we can reach, and hold them as a means of weakening the enemy and closing the war. In fact, every objection to the President’s proclamation can lest be set tled after an honorable peace. All ideas of peace with the States in active re bellion are delusive at present. The la mented. Douglas, with prophetic judg ment, gave us the true idea of this war, when he said, 1 the surest road to peace is the most stupendous preparation for war.’ I would urge our Democratic friends, 'from one end of the .North to the other, to adopt this as their motto, and it will prove 1 bread cast upon the waters,’ to be found ‘after many days.’ Let us prove our .-patriotism by our works; any other course is weakness and madness, as I view it.” The rebels North 'and South, having used the high name of General McClellan as an element of sedition and demoraliza'- tion in the North, and having found that that officer will not permit himself to become their tool in this unholy task, are now de nouncing him as bitterly as they praised him before. The Richmond Whig of a late date: assails him in the most merciless manner, an evidence of which is the following sentence: “ How fortunate for us that he was chosen chief of the Yankee army ! With the im mense numbers at bis command, an officer of truth, courage, enterprise, and daring wouldhave pushed us severely.” We may next expect to find the New York Herald and the New York World covering this un fortunate young man with calumny and de nunciation. Mayor of Philadelphia. T tie Loyal League movemeuthas crossed the continent, and is now flourishing in San Francisco. We are glad to see our friends in that State so promptly responding to the patriotic efforts of tlie loyal men of the At lantic 'coast. The most gratifying fact of the San Francisco demonstration' is the stand taken by Mr. Senator Conness, the newly elected successor of Mr. Latham. This distinguished man has taken occasion to indignantly deny the stories in relation to his affiliation with the enemies of his country, and to place himself upon the highest ground in support of the Administration. Those who knew the Senator elect did not need this vindication of his character, but the country will be glad to learn from the lips of the gentleman himself that he will be true to California and true te the Union. The Democratic members of the New York. Legislature have issued an address against the. Republican party and the Ad ministration, in which they say that “■ they imoke ail the energies of the free people of the Worth against a political faction which, haring artfully initiated a fratricidal war, proposes now '%o end it ly a [parricidal peace .” As Mr. Fernando Wood, and his followers in New York, are about the only politicians in that State who are in favor of a “parricidal peace,” we think this unkind allusion to the leader of the faithful and loving. Democracy an evidence of mu tiny and defection. Jefferson Davis suspended the habeas corptis act in a secret manner some time ago, for the purpose of making efficient; war upon the North. Mr. Lincoln openly sus pended it at a time of danger, for the pur pose of saving the North; and yet the sym pathizers look upon Mr. Davis as a “stern statesman,” and upon Mr. Lincoln as a tyrant. Why the distinction ? The Richmond papers are advertising for five thousand negro laborers to work upon the fortifications. This indicates that the rebels expect, a very bitter attack on the part of General llookek, and it shows,: in the second place, that while their sympa thizers in the North are constantly clamoring agaiDst the employment of negroes to defend the country, the rebels have no hesitation in calling upon them to assail it. .. . The New York Tribune , commenting on the infamy of the recent Legislature , of that State, takes occasion to say some very true and bitter things in relation to the pre sent wretched system of managing local politics. The following extract may be ap plied to the city of Philadelphia, and we endorse it in every word : “ There must be a radical change, and the people of all parties must effect it. It must be first evi denced in the manner of making nominations. The present Convention system is utterly rotten. It is a con trivance for exalting mediocrity and fostering intrigue. A. 8., a> small ward or township politician, con ceives the idea of going to the Assembly, think ing he can ‘make a good thing of it. 1 To be sure, he has neither talent, experience, in tegrity, nor any other possible qualification :hut none of these is essential. His first step is to secure a delegation from his own township or ward to the nominating convention; and this, by a liberal expenditure of money, liquor, promises, lies, and an appeal to the gratttude of those he has helped in former years, he effects. With his delegation in hand, he commences trading with those who have axestogrind on some other/stone —promising his votes for sheriff, clerk. Congress, or whatever may he going,'in exchange for the votes of other delega tions for Assembly. Thus he makes his point, or, if not, some other aspirant, as worthless, and unfit as he, and a little Bharper, does. And, having thuß ob tained a party endorsement, he and his gang bawl incessantly, Support the regular nomination! No scratching!. Vote the clean ticket!’ until he iB put 'through. But, if not, the opposing candidate, if his .party has any chance of success, is too often just such as he.is, barring their differing politics ; and whichever of them is elected will set to ‘ making his pile ’ the (moment he gets to Albany. He has B pent money and time, and done many dirty things, to get elected; he can hardly expeot to go again, unless at a similar cost, and he means to cover his outlay at the earliest moment.’!

Rebel Cavalry under Jenkins, Imboden, and Harper take Morgantown-1 1 heir Numbers Greatly Exaggerated—The ftald on Beverly—Colonel Latham's Command Cut off-Federal Troops Prepared to In> tcrcept ."Jenkins. The people of the southwestern part of our State have become unnecessarily excited, perhaps, by false and exaggerated statements, representing that a large force of rebel cavalry was _inv&<H n «- ;i> ®““'*: svlvania. Thus far.. that the rebels gsarown, Va., and are there in some force, under Jenkins* Imboden, and Harper. Their force is doubtless over estimated at 4,000. Federal troops are moving to intercept them. The following we take from the Wheeling Intelligencer of Monday: THE RAID ON BEVERLY. It. appears to be pretty well settled that a con siderable rebel force, chiefly cavalry, has made a sudden advance on our force occupying Beverly. Col. Latham has'fallen back;, to Buokhanaon. The lateßt intelligence that seems to be reliable up to the present hour of writing, is that the rebels have ad vanced their outside pickets to. Philippi, thirty three miles this side of Beverly, and about sixteen miles from Grafton. The rebel force is reported as consisting of Imboden’s, Bill Harper’s, and Jeff. Jenkins’ gangs, numbering, it is said, between four and five thousand, with half a dozen pieces of artil lery. We believe there is butlittle reliability in these statements. No doubt the numbers of the enemy have been greatly exaggerated by alarmed couriers. *' ■ It is said our commanders are not averse to hav ing them come, still further down the Tygart’s val ley, as it would place them in a position, from which it would be hardly possible to retrace their steps, as we have forces that flank them on more sides than one. LATER, A gentleman who came in on last evening’s train states that, in reply to a despatch which he sent to Grafton from Moundsvllle, he was informed that a rebel force had come into Oakland and another at Rowlesburg since the train passed those points; that they had cut the wires at Oakland andjwere committing depredations on t-he.rfljfl, and-that fight ing in the woods was then going OT>t Rowlesburg. The Bame gentleman states that nothing definite was known at Grafton of 001. Latham’s command, but it was the impression of Col. Wilkinson that it was cut oil’ somewhere between Beverly and Philippi. We also learn that intelligence of a reliable cha- , racier has been received from other sources, going: mainly to confirm these statements. Colonel Latham’s exact situation is not known, but this fact alone proves that he iB cut off. Whether between Beverly and Buckhannon, or be tween Beverly and Philippi, is not known. It is said he burned' the Government stores at Beverly before leaving there, but how this should be known, and nothing be known of his present situation, we cannot Bee. It appears certain, at least; that all his communications are cut off, if nothing worse has happened. ; * FURTHER PARTICULARS. AN ATTACK ON -WHEELING EXPECTED— HEffIOVAL OF SPECIE—UNIONTOWN, PA., THREATENED, AND PREPARING DE : FENCE—COL. MULLIGAN ATTACKED— THE REBELS POSSESS GRAFTON, ON THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD, AND MORGANTOWN, VA. Harrisburg, April 28. —Information received from Pittsburg states that during last night a depu tation from Uniontown, Pa. i reached that city for the puipose of getting men and arms to resißt an expected raid into this State. They state that about 4,000 rebels had possession of Morgantown, Va., and also the Baltimore'and Ohio. Railroad, at fpur dltre rent points, and 'that Colonel Mulligan has been fighting since Sunday last. The rebels were said to bewithin six miles of Grafton, Va., the junction of the Baltimore and Ohio Road and the Parkersburg Branch. The authorities think that the rebels de sign to capture the detachments of our troops pro tecting the road at various points, by detail, and, if successful, may extend their raid to Wheeling. The Adams’ Express messenger reports having brought the specie from the Wheeling banks to Pittsburg for safety. ' Further.reports state that the rebels captured Morgantown at four o’clock this morning, and threatened to be in Uniontown by noon .to-day. It 'is also stated, positively, that they are engaged in burning the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridges, near Mannington. Another report Ib, that a rebel force has entered Washington; Pa., only twenty-five miles from Wheeling, but this is not credited. It is supposed that the rebel force is in three detachments of 1,600 each. . The lath Militia Regiment assembled at the Pitts burg Oity Hall this evening, and it is supposed that this force will be sent to Uniontown. the Latest. THE “INVASION” A ERE GUERILLA EX PLOIT THE DANGER OVER EXCITE- MENT ABATING. Pittsburg, April 28—Evening.—The latest-intel ligence from the scene of the raid seems to reduce its dimensions greatly. The force at Morgantown is reported as not over 800 strong, and is supposed to be the same party of guerillas that has been en deavoring to damage the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road since Sunday. The telegraphic communication is perfect between Wheeling and Grafton, and the railroad east of that point is not much damaged, as far as known. The excitement is abating. DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA. A Grand Reeonnntrsnncc and Skirmish Charge and Capture of the Rebel Rifle SsrroiK, April 24.—Shortly after General Nix’s departure for Fortress Monroe, General Peck order ed a recormoissance in force on the Edcnton and So merton roads. This was to discover the enemy’s strength. Many thought that, as he had never yet-shown himself in any force, that it might be that he was holding us at bay simply by a couple of hundred sharpshooters in the rifle-pits, while his main body had long since moved away. By this movement General Peck has clearly de monstrated to all unbelievers that there is a strong and determined foe in our front. The warning note of the movement was given by the booming of.heavy guns from the several forts, and the crashing of huge shellß through the woods in front, yet all was as quiet as the grave along the enemy ’slines. On went our men, slowly working their way through the niud, towards the dark wood. Suddenly arose a line of fire, a cloud of smoke, and the simultaneous discharge of many muskets. It was the enemy’s rifle-pits. Our men did not recoil, but advanced steadily, with but slight loss, and by a quick and skilful movement passed over and gained possession of these contemptible little strongholds of the enemy, capturing several sharpshooters who, had hot time to jump but of their holes before our men were upon them. In the edge of the woods it was now discovered the enemy had erected a long breastwork or fortifica tion, for there were guns mounted in it, and behind this their men took refuge, heavily reinforced, doubt less, by fresh troops from their camps in the woods, and opened a heavy fire of musketry only on bur men, who bore up under it like veterans. Notwithstanding the bullets whistled by inces santly, by some good fortune the, rebels gave their pieces too much elevation, and, therefore, did not do much execution. Now our field batteries opened and “pegged away” in a furious manner at the, enemy’s works, doing no little execution, as the rebel surgeons are doubtless aware this evening. THE LOSS. Our loss amounts to probably thirty, of whom only oheortwo were killed outright. The wounds are for the slight, and General Peck has rea son to congratulate himself on having gained such im portant information at so little cost. Col. Buell, of the 169th New York; had his left hand amputated, and Corporal H. Shaffer, L. Renhouser, H. Span gler, J. Starr, A. Kricher, Corporal Snipe, R. Fork; A. Creger, H. Null, belonging to the 166th Pennsyl vania, which bore a distinguished partin the action, aie among the wounded. George West and Isaas McClain, of the Pennsylvania 165th are also wounded. , MORALE OF OUR TROOPS. April 26.—The Herald correspondent writes: The manner in which these brave fellows have borne the constant annoyance of the'rebel sharp shooters,'has never .been excelled by any troops in the history of the world. Their tents arc com pletely riddled by bullets, and, the moment a man shows himself in a company street, the enemy con centrates, a fire of ten or fifteen deadly rifles on him. This would demoralize any troops in the world; un less of the highest morale. The enemy reoccupied their rifle pitß last night, and this morning areas annoying as ever. Shelling them out is an impossi bility. Tile Camden and Amboy Railroad. THE DOUBLE-TRACK KK DORSET)—TiI!!

F., April. 27.—The steamer Anglo-Saxon lias been, wrecked three miles east of Cape Race. Three passengers ar rived there this afternoon, and report the vessel as broken up, and a great number of passengers lost. The Associated Press yacht left for the ■wreck immediately onthe rcceiptofthe news.

The others rescued are probably a portion of the crew. Tlie steamer Bloodhound has gone to Cape Race for the people there. The weather is very fine and clear on the coast to-day, Bakgob (Me.), April 28-11 o’clock—The tele graph line to the East has failed to work, and conse quently we can get nothing more to-night relative to the disaster to the Anglo Saxon. Movements of tlie Rebel Army—Tlie MTjßPl£kesbop.o, April 28.— The rebels are.re ported as having male important movements on our irontj materially changing the situation, whether in reply; to ours on McMinville, &c.,j'is not known and that the rebels were weary of waiting for us to advance, and may assume the offensive. It is known that General Bragg has been reinforced by one brigade from Mobile, and a Mississippi regi ment, from Vicksburg, was sent back from Chatta nooga, and the force reinforced, at Manchester, to strengthen the rebel right. One biigade'went back from Shelby ville to Tullahoma. Johnson is reported to have moved his head quarters to Shelbyville. Gen. Cheatham’s division is at Guy’s Gap, twelve miles from Murfreesboro’, on the Shelby ville and Triune road; and two bri gades at Bell Buckle, while a third force is said to be at Doolittle pike. For some days past, it has been believed in the rebel camps that, if Gen. Bosecranß did not advance, Gen. Bragg would attack. a One authority says that Bragg has 75,000' men. There is no confirmation of the reported death of Gen. Bragg. Further Particulars of Knurling the Vicks- CiNcirtXATi, April 28.—A despatch from Memphis to the Commercial gives the particulars of the run ning of the Vicksburg blockade, on Wednesday night last, by the transports Tigress, Moderator, Empire City, Cheeseman, Anglo-Saxon, and Horizon. They were under command of Colonel Logan, of General Grant’s stair, and were laden with stores, and or dered to float down until fired on, and then to put on full steam. The Tigress waß the flag boat, and started at 10.15, the Empire City fifteen minutes later, and the oth ers following, each at intervals of fifteen minutes. At 1.40 they were fired on by the Vicksburg batte ries,.and ten minutes later a house was set on fire on the same side, by the rebels, to produce light. The Tigress received .fifteen shots. .Her steam pipe was shot off; a shot passed through both her wheel houses, and another entered the engineer’s room. She made for the Louisiana shore and escaped.

McNeil in close pursuit. It was Gen.-McNeil’s intention to send a force to the enemy's rear, for the purpose of destroying the bridge over the White river, thus cut ting off their retreat. Should he succeed, most of the rebel force must be captured. Fears are entertained that the Federal force from New Madrid, which numbers but 2,000 men, may be overrun by the rebels, who are 7,000 strong. All of General McNeil's pursuing forces'are mounted. . In the attack on the rebel camp, on Sunday night, 600 or 600 prisoners were taken, and a number killed and wounded. The rebels have completely stripped the country through which they passed, making no difference between friend or foe.

Interesting Operations on tiie Coast of Flo rida.—A Boat Expedition ancl Skirmish— Cnptiire of Blockade Rimners. Washington, April 28.~The Navy Department has received despatches from Acting Rear Admiral Bailey, commanding the Eastern Gulf Blockading Squadron, dated Key West, April 2ist, from which it appears he directed Lieut. Commanding English to proceed in the gunboat Sagamore, accompanied by the two armed launches of that vessel, to Cedar Keys, there to arrange the details of a boat expedi tion, under the immediate command of Lieut. Com mander McCauley, for the purpose'of scouting the coast between the Suwanne river and the Anclote Keys, where it waß believed many small craft were engaged in evading arid violating the blockade. A launch and cutter from the Sagamore, and others from Fort Henry, together with an ambulance-boat,, were added to the force, and the whole proceeded direct to Bayport, while the Sagamore remained in the ofiiDg to prevent the escape of the rebel vessels. I he main object of the expedition, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, jvari handsomely accom plished. -• The Bloop Helen, of Crystal river, laden with corn, waß burnt 3 the boats then made a movement to wards a large schooner, at anchor inside, loaded' with cot ton, said to contain 300 bales, but they were arrested by the fire of a two-gun on the shore, and of a goodly number of riflemen concealed in the woodß. A orißk engagement of half an hour ensued, and the rebels were driven from their guns arid rifle-pits with some loss. Fortunately, the enemy’s aim was so wild that their shot went mostly over the heads of our party, and but one man was hurt on our side, and he not seriously. This little action seems to have been conducted with coolness and judgment, and to have been fought with spirit and bravery. Meanwhile, the rebels had set fire to the schooner, and the engagement was continued on our side by shelling the woods, until all possibility of their ex tinguishing the flames had disappeared 3 when, as our object had been accomplished, as several of our guns had been disabled, and as the pilotgavewarn mg that the tide would soon leave the boats high and dry, they retired beyond' the range of the bat tery, and waited:there until the masts of the schoon er fell, and until the vessel herself had entirely dis appeared. The expedition then proceeded to the Chassa howitska river, and thence to Crystal, the Homosa osa, the Withlacooche, and the Wakassa 3 but they were much delay ed by head winds and currents, and by the sluggishness of one of the launches, that they necessarily made but slow., progress—only seventy five miles in five days—and, consequently, the news of their coming preceded them, and, of course, no thing was found within their reach along the coaßt. The same causes prevented their effecting a surprise on extending their operations to the Suwannee river. Acting Master John Sherrill, commanding the bark Roebuck, makes report of an unfortunate allair, in .which Acting Master James Folger arid the launch’s crew of_eleven men were engaged, and which resulted in the death of two men—namely, Thomas King and Ralphß. Snow, and the wound ing of six, .It seems,that Sherrill, having heard that a vessel was loading with cotton at St. An. drew’B Bay, sent up his launch and crew torecon noitre. For some reaßon, Folger, who was in charge of the party, made a landing, when the boat’s crew were fired upon by a large guerilla force with fatal effect, arid barely escaped with their Himself, payiDg dearly for his incautiousness, as.the report shows the landing was ill-advised. - OUR FLAG OF TRUCE VIOLATED. There is an official confirmation of the report that our flag of truce was violated at Gadsden’s Point, Florida, by rebels clothed ul female apparel, with blackened faces.- "The Beauregard and Tahoma, the next day, in order to punish them, were sent as near the battery as possible, and both vessels commenced firing on the town, hitting some of the houses, but what other damage was done could not be ascer tained. The schooner Onward was cut out in the Ock lockney river by the boats of the United States bark AmamJa. The work was gallantly performed, but with a few casualties, although the rebels made a spirited resistance. Tlirf expedition resulted in the destruction of the vessel. CAPTURES. The hark Gem of the Sea, on the Bth of April, captured the English schooner Maggie Fulton, of Nassau, from Green Turtle Bay, Abaco, while at tempting to run the blockade at Indian River Inlet. East Florida, loaded with a general cargo. The United States steamer Huntsville captured the rebel Bloop Minnie, with cotton, from the Ocilla River, Florida, bound to Matanzas. Acting Lieutenant Commanding Wm. O. Rogers communicates the fact of the capture of the British schooner Ascension, of and from Havana, for the Suwanne River, with an assorted cargo. She was taken after being fired upon several times in a chase of two hours. The schooner 'Teresa was also cap tured $ she sailed under British colors. Among other captures on the Florida coast arc the schooner Annie B, the British schooner Gipey, and the schooner Mattie. MEXICO, Mexican Guerilla Operations—Tile Siege of Puebla. New York, April 28. —Vera Cruz dates to the sth instant states that the Mexican guerillas had cap- camp of railroad laborers near Vera Cruz, destroying and carrying off . all the property there. Several other similar camps near Dejeira were also captured and sacked, and some t wenty laborers were killed and fifty or sixty wounded. It is stated that the French are making very slight progress in Mexico. A small post near Puebla had been captured with a loss to the French of over 700 men. A heavy storm at Vera Cruz destroyed French stores valued at $20,000, Reinforcements for the French army were con stantly arriving, Piracies of' tlie Alabama. New Yoj*k, April 28.— The bark Gen.

[Correspondence of The Frees. ] \ Nxw York, April 28V 1863, THE NEWS -FROAC PORT ROYAL s to-day, to the effect,that Dupont and Hunter ioteftd to redeem themselves by a new and speedy attack upon Charleston, gives the greatest satisfaction to the many impetuous loyalists in town who wagered new hats that the late engagement waßonly a recon noissance, and that Charleston would be taken be fore the loth of May, If this news is true—and it baa a thoroughly reliable, not to Bay official, aspect said engagement must-have been, in reality, a recon .noisaanoe only : .for had it been" the decisive battle that so many feared it was, the iron-clads would not thuß early be in sufficient repair to resume hostilities. Now that one looks back at the circumstances of the affair, the mere inactivity of Hunter*® troops at the time would seem to give positive assurance that the hot skirmißh of the iron-clads with Sumpter was not intended to precipitate the decisive battle. From the tone of the Charleston and Richmond papers the morning after the two- hours* fight, it was - plain that the rebels supposed the ball to be only just begun; and as the Ironsides and two or three others of-the monitors were near- enough to several of their bat teries to be examined from stem to Btern with a glass, they must have seen if those vessels were too badly injured to be available in a renewal of the battle. For myself, I take Hunter’s inactivity to have been more .significant than anything else of a mere preliminary movement. General Hunter is hardly the man to stand by an idle spectator of a deliberate and matured attempt to capture Charles ton.'Like any other trud patriot of the day, he hates that city with a hatred only to be expressed by the mbßt uncompromising acts of war; and your .correspondent can assert, upon very good authority, that the General will, if Charleston is captured while he is in command, destroy that city, so that it shall ■never be a city again, unless expressly ordered not to do so by the Government at Washington. Phila delphians may bet hats upon that to any extent. A FORTUNATE PASTOR is the Reverend Henry Ward Beecher, who sails for Europe in the City of Washington on the 30th of May, for a four trip, at the ex pense of his generous congregation.

A DIAMOND: WEDDING is so firmly believed to be at hand, that all. the up -towners are talking about it, and I feel at liberty to divulge a few of the exciting particulars. The lady in the case is a channing young heiress, the ward of a well-known citizen of ariatocratio respectability, and a “General” added to his civic title. The gen tleman is a distinguished Italian nobleman, now on a visit to this country by special leave of the Court of Turin. He is one of Victor Emmanuel’s military aidß, ;and is obliged by court etiquette to solicit the consent of his sovereign before he can enter into a matrimonial alliance. The royal consent has already been forwarded by "letter, I believe; but, at any rate itis a certainty, and the marriage is regarded bypo. litesoeiety as une_ affaire deduce. .1 should scarcely he justified in giving you any of the names just yetj but I may say that, the titled suitor is not the Count Achille de Vcechy, who is another mem ber of Victor Emmanuel’s Court. De Veeehy is on a mission to- procure American deer, moose, and other animalß peculiar to this country, for the royal, zoological gardens of Turin, and has been hunting game among the hills of Maine while his brother courtier was rendering homage to the New York, belle.

[fob additional city news sek fourth PAGE.] . Inauguration op the . Tiueteenth- Wakd Union League,— The Union League of the Thirteenth ward celebrated, last night, its inaugu ration by a public meeting, at Handel and Haydn Hall. The occasion was initiated at eight o’clock, and the address yas delivered by Hon. Isaac Hazle hurst, who was introduced by the president, Mr Bobert M. Foust.' The subject was “ The Oonstitu- ■ tioh and the Union,”, and the audience was as crowded as the occasion was enthusiastic. The cards of admission were free, and, in addition to the address. Colonel Maurice was announced to read the[patriotic poem :|“The Sleeping Sentinel” of Janvier. After a few preparatory remarks, the speaker said that there were three distinct epochs in the history of our country. The first extended from the origin of the colony until the year 1744, the second from the year 1744 to the adoption of the Constitution, and the third from the year 1789 to the present time. For the glorious Union and Constitution the invita tion of his audience, had given him the privilege of .speaking. They had been on trial for three-fourths of a century. Not without the imperfections, the -errors, wrongs, and woes of humanity, these have conferred, on more than two generations, an amount of good without a parallel. No State has lost a solitary right or a single privilege. The Go vernment must be defended under all circumstances, and at every risk. [Applause.] In every trouble let us raise the banner of liberty, and inscribe upon ltß ioids those words of inspiration: “ God, Union, Liberty.” Admit the assumed right of secession in each and every State; allow them to enforce that assumed right, and this great continent becomes plunged in civil war, military license, anarchy, and despotism. Are we to surrender ourselves to this* ’ Never, never, never! [Applause.] The lint-pickers of Charleston were plying their vocation before the President had prepared his inaugural. At whatever cost, we must settle this question at once and for ever. [Great applause.] Let ub meet theblow like men, and not turn away from it, so that it may fall With redoubled force on our posterity. [Applause. 1 while there is a call, a duty, a place, a work for all, we must be about It. -Every fort and foot of ground is to be repossessed. [Applause.] The counsellors, of peace were the authors of this present war. [Ap plause.] It is a sad task to look at the individual results of the efforts of the fell destroyers of our country’** peace. There, at Ball’s Bluff, lies some ingenuous and generous youth, with bloodstained breast and darkening eye. There, at Fredericks burg, one scarcely past the gentleness of boyhood. Then, and then only, will the Union be perfect, when .-all America rejoices in the light of constitu tional freedom. [Great applause.] The address was followed by a musical interlude, executed on the organ, by Professor Dillon. , Colonel Maurice then commenced a short ad dress, in which he. said that sacred history tells us that at one period of the world, at the marriage in Canse of Galilee, the best of the wine was re served for the last. The * president appeared, con tinued the speaker, to have reversed the order in this case, and to have reserved the worst for the last. He found, if his arithmetical calculation was correct, there were more women than men present m the audience. This also reversed the order. In Cherry Hill, in Blockley, in the Almshouse, there were more men than women, and there were more men hung than women r But woman, lovely wo man, was the truest patriot there waß. [Applause.] As ior himself, the speaker said, he went in for the Union, right or wrong. The speaker then made a few more like remarks, ; which were distinguished by his usual modest eloquence and force, and which were received by the auditory with-the ut most good-nature and enthusiasm. He then recited with gusto “The. Sleeping Sentinel,” after which the enthusiastic audience dispersed. \ Accident at a Holding Mill—Burst ing- OP; a Fly-Wheel. —About nine o’clock yester day morning, a fly-wheel in the rolling-mill of Ver iest Mitchell, in the Sixteenth ward, burst.- The wheel was twenty feet in diameter, was made m eight sections, and the rim weighed from ten to twelve tons. The rim was broken into three pieces, two of which went through the roof and fell in other portions of the mill—one piece landing upon the boiler. Everything about the wheel was pretty well wrecked. The damage done will amount to from a thousand to fifteen hundred dollars. The accident has caused the stoppage of about one third of the mill, and about two weeks will be required to repair the damage. Only two persons were injured by the accident. 'One. was but slightly bruised, and soon resumed work. The other, a young man named George Hicken, about eighteen yearß of age, was struck by one of the pieces "of the wheel, and seri ously injured. His breast was hurt badly, and one of his legs was crushed in Buch a shocking manner that amputation was necessary. The sufferer was conveyed to the hospital in the ambulance of the Northern Liberty Fire Company. His parents re side in 'Wilmington, Delaware, but he has been boarding with an aunt in Arch street.

The question, “what to do with our silver ?” has greatly puzzled the Canadi ans, and eventually a motion has been made in the Le gislature to make it a legal tender. Heretofore it passed for 4 per cent, more than British silver; but the influx-haa been so great that banks refuse to lend on it or take it on deposit ;‘railroad corporations refuse It for fare, and mer chants decline to receive it except at the rate of 80 or 90 cents on fclje dollar. The Canadian journals hope chat uoTOAthing will be done to give it a stable position, and discouragtrii-B undue importation, yet they deprecate any legislation whichwy .exclude it altogether, 'as anevil greater even than the present .piothora. - The Chicago Times of Saturday says: The gold market here opened exc: ted this morning, and, in the anxiety to buy, some of the brokers bought at prices above hiew York rates.

The Great Family Stove op the Age. —We have already had occasion to refer to the ad mirable Air-tight Gras-consuming Cooking Stove of Mr. J. S. Clark, No. 1008 Market street, as being an indispensable article in every household, and refer to it now in order to remind pur readers, in this city and elsewhere, who may be about making the neces sary spring changes in their domestic arrangements, that on account of the superiority and extraordinary economy of this stove, many persons are adopting it for summer use instead, of their stationary ranges. Mr.; Clark warrants it to consume but one ton of coal in six months, in active use, and doing the cooking and baking for a large family; and in every instance where it has been tried it haß given to the consumer entire and perfect satisfaction. It is at once durable, convenient, and economical, and everybody should give it a trial; and (Ais is the time to do so. For baking and cooking purposes, this stove has no supe rior in the world, and its burning capacity is the next thing to requiring no fuel at all. We advise our readers here and elsewhere to call and examine this. great improvement of Mr. Clark’s as a matter of curiosity; and to all who are in want.of a sum mer stove we would say, Buy this in preference to any other, by all means. Effects of the Warm Weather.— T he genial sunny weather with which we have been favored within the last few days has had, among other effects, that of reducing the consumption of coal. Still, as a very large proportion of coal is con sumed for cooking and.manufacturing purposes, it becomes an important matter to know where it can be purchased all the year round to the best advan tage. We have tried a number of dealers, and must confess that Mr. W. W. Alter, Ninth street, above Poplar, Eells the best and purest coal for the price in this city. Buyers should give his coal a trial. --* t A Great Clothing Establishment.— r Messrs. C. Somers & Son, when some months ago they decided to combine Clothing with their large business as importers and dealers in Cloth Goods, determined at no distant day to make theirs the Clothing Emporium for first.class clothing in Phila delphia. In this they have already succeeded, as a visit to their large establishment, No. 625 Chestnut street, under Jayne’s Hall, will convince the reader who may either wish to purchase garments made, or order a fashionable suit from selected ma terials. Their goods are unrivalled for style and workmanship, and their prices are unusually mode-, rate. Puee Quality of Olive Oils.—Messrs. Davis & Richarilß (successors to the late O. H. Matt son), dealers in fine family groceries*.have just re ceived a fresh importation of S weet Oils. These oils are the purest and warranted to be the pure extract of the olivet For Fashionable Ladies 1 Headgear, of every description, embracing the most exquisite novelties of the season in the way oPstraw, silk, and crape bonnetß, go to Wood &. Cary’s, Not 735 Chest nut street. jSTew Style Hats and Caps.—Messrs. Charles Sons, under the Continental Ho tel, have-now ready their beautiful new style? Spring Hats and Caps for Gentlemen and Boys. The Luxury of a Good-Fitting Shirt can only be realized in perfection by trying the ce lebrated Taggaitcut Shirt, sold at George Grant’s Gents’ Furnishing establishment, 610 Chestnut street. Swords, Sashes, Belts, and Military trappings in general, for Army and Navy officer#, can be found in greatest perfection at Oakford St Son’s, under the Continental Hotel.
