miles from Kinston, andvdrove him.
He came upon them at*Sandy- Ridge, killing, and

They could not be induced stand, and fted'with

■-The Chicago Tribune is informed that the rebels
"have gone to reinforce Marnladuke and. Braggs and

asßert -a dasH into the Northern States;*- The Con-;

to carryTthelwar to an extreme. ■ The time has gone

ADVANCE OF THE REBELS.
MtrEyßßEsnoiiOi' April-28.—A despatch 1 to the
. Tribune: says: The lactß derived from ihebestoffioiai
sources - are,.-that our, scouts report -the; advance of
. the enemy to Breech Grove and W aetrace, nine
hours’ march-from thia point; It is probable that
-the enemy advanced lh y force .without .artillery.to
counteract s supposed generai advance of :this army,
which the enemy imagine was indicatedvby Gen.
Reynolds’ expedition to McMinnville. :'At the same
vtime> tbey may , intend* a rcconnoissance in force.
They have been reinforced somewhat;.but nomili

April 29.— 1 t is thought generally that the rebel
demonstration yesterday was made-for the purpose
of forcing: Bosecrans to:concenti%te his -lines, thus
Dorn andvWiieelerjat- liberty .to act on
\with also to enable
’ytfiemliwitti tlie force norttfof Duck river, to defeat
- any attempt that might be made similar to the one
on McMinnville. At present all efforts of rebel ca

The . vessel .18',ih. fourteen fathoms water, and is
broken up. None of the cargo was saved.
The following is tfie first officer's statement:
- “ The Anglo-Saxon left Liverpool on the 16th in
stant, at P. ; M.3, She experieiiced strong westerly
gales until Saturday, tlie,2s,th, at 8 P. M., when she
fell in with ice and A thick* fog.' 'The engines were
Immediately slowed. :At 10 the ice being so
thick 'and heavy; the/engines: were stooped'alto
gether. ? A , light. breeze - from<the-6outh, forcing.the
ship ahead about one knot an hour.'. At 6. A., M. ou
the 2Cth, the iog lifted, and the ice having slacked,
we set the‘’foretopHails and? head-sailß, moving ? tha
engines occasionally at a dead. slow. At 10.30
A M. the-fog cleared^.away, altogether, and we
saw. clear water to the,.W. N. .W»,from, the mast
head. We continued our course towards clear water.
• u At2P. M., we. got the ship- clear of ice,- ; and
steered northwest by west; with-full speed and with
all possible sail. - A moderate* breeze was blowing
frqjn/the southward at this time. ' At noon, latitude
46.57; longitude 67.24, by the chronometer. At 10 P.
M.; thebreeze freshened, and-blew strongly from the
south-Boutheast and a dense fog set.in: We took in
all sail at BA. M. on the 27th; - The fog .etill con
tinued to be : dense, and, supposing .the ship /to ;be
forty miles off Cape Race, we altered her bourse
to the west-half-hbrth, aod- slowed the- engines to
half speed, which would have taken 7 us seventeen
miles south of Cape Race. At ten minutes'past .ll
breakers were reported on the. starboard
beam. ~Captain Burgess immediately ordered the
engines to be reversed at full speed, biit ’before her
headway could be atoppedy she..struck • fiat on r the
.rocks off Clam Cove, about four.miles north of Cape
A heavy sea. drove her qnarter on
thie rbckp, carrying away her rudder, stern-post, and
pfopeHer. - • ’ * . 4 .*■
• Finding that there was no possibility of the ; ship.
coming off, the order was ? given to let go both an
chors, to hold the ship on therocks. The carpen
ter was forthwith sent to examine, the fore-peak,
and found' it filling :fast' with^water. He also ex
amined the fore-hold; #*but *'found;'no: water there.
The chief;engine coming up,directly, .afterwards,
.reported the forward' .stoke*hold ’filling .fast. 7He
opened,the valves and blew the* steam out of tli'e
boilers; The'boats all immediately lowered success
' fully; except Nos. 1 and 3. The ship was so dose on
the rocks these could not,be got out. Boat No. 2, with
some of the crew AndpasBcngerßjcommanded by Capt.
Crawford was" Bent to find a place to land the pas*
seneers. Some of the crew: being landed oh the
-rocks by means'of the Btudding-sailboomjwiththe
; help of.some of the pa6senger8 t ’got a hawser secured
to a rock, to keep the vessel from listing out. We
then commenced to land the female passengero on
. the rocks by means of the foreyard arm,*’* The flrst
claes passengers were put into a boat. -About noon
the ship's stem, swung off from the rooks and she
settled down very fast,-listing to port at the same
time,’and sunk [in deep water. r The captain and a
gieat many of the passengers were on deck at the
■ time,"an<lj.with a part of thecrew, were all lost."
