Petanstratx, April 2.—Parson Brown
family say that the Union feeling is
growing rapidly in Tennessee, and that the
-.rebels are growing heartily sick of the rebel
lion ; that thousands of them would at once
leave the cause, lay down their arms and re
turn to their allegiance if they dare do ft.
They are only waiting a favorable opportunity.
Senator Davis declared in hie speech, yes

the people of the South would So resist it, as
to neutralize its effects.
The inquirer's correspondentsays the prob
able opening of all the ports, at an early day,
from Richmopd to New Orleans, has caused
an excitement among the salt speculators,
which IS only to be equaled by the excitement
among the Boston ice merchants.
Applications are pouring into the - Depart
ments for the privilege of sending vessel
freighted with ice and salt. The proposed
tariff of twenty-five cents per 'sack, and
- eighteen cents -in balk per cwt., on salt, and
the demand for the saline staple In the south
ern markets, will no doubt cense an upward
and speculative tendency. Salt and ice are
titro grear commodities, which will 'prove great
blessings in the south at the present time.
Private r aceounts corroborate what is pub
lished from the War Department concerning
the movement of troops on the Rappahannock
and the Shenandoah.' The roads are almost
impassable, and bridges cannot be built in a
day; meantime a slow end sure movement
gives opportunity to the rebels to back out
from their position.. ..._

forming him of the nature of tie eritielsm of

Gen. Grant says : I will go. on and do my
duty to the very best of my ability without
praise, and do alit canto bring the war to ir
speedy close. lam not an aspirant for any
thing at the close of this war. There is one
thing I feel well assured, of, that Fs ,t have
conildenee in every brave Min under my com
mand. Those, who showed the white feather
will do all in their power to attract attention
from themselves. I had, perhaps, a dozen
oilleers atrestedfor cowardiee in the first dray's
.fight;, these menekre neesssaritrmy enemies.
As to the talk aboutsurprise, there is nothing
could be more false. If the enemy had sent
'tut word When and where they would attack
es,; we couldn't• have been better prepared.
Bkiimiahing had been going on for two days
between our - reconnoitering parties and the
enemy's advance.

though I usually spent the day at Pittsburgh.
Troops were_ constantly arriving to be as

Mr. Grimes introduced a bill to limit the ap
pointment of Major Generale and Brigadier
Generals in the volunteer army. He said that
several ineffectual attempts had been made to
limit these appointments in some way, or at
least prevent their continued increase. He
thought it was time that come limit was put
to the number of these Generals. We have
now nearly three hundred Brigadiers. The
French army has poly 180, yet the number in
our army is constantly increasing, and ap
pointments are being constantly made—not
,of men who have distinguished themselves in
battle, or have shown any particular military
capacity, but were political favorites. The
bill purposes to limit the number of Major
Generals to twenty, and Brigadiers to two
hundred: It was referred. to the Committee
on Military Affairs.

He caused to be read a letter from the Secre

to the value of the vessel and cargo for any
adherence to the conditions annexed. The
cargo shall be delivered at the port of desti
nation, and no part thereof used to give aid
and comfort to any part of the country in in
surrection against the United States. The
Secretary is further empowered to prohibit
the importation of goods, wares and merchan
dise into any part of the United States, over
any railroad or turnpike, whenever there is
satisfactory reason to believe that the goods
are Mr the use of the insurgents or may fall
into their poseeisiom ' .
.The Secretary is .authierised to make such
generale or special regulations as may be pro
.per to carry- into effect the purposes of this
am. If these rules are violated, or an at=
tempt is made to violate them,the.goods
shall be forfeited to the United tates. The
penalties may be negotiated in accordance
with the Bth and 9th sections of the act of

From Yorktown.
BDPOEZ YORKTOWN, May Tuesday
a steamboat was seen with a load of troops at
Yorktown. They probably, came from West
Point, 30 miles above, indicating that the
enemy are being reinforced, instead of pre
paring to evacuate.
Battery No. 1, at the mouth elf Wermley
meek, and commanding the rebel water bat
teries at Yorktown and Gloucester, operied,
yerterday afternoon, on the enemy's shipping,
at a range of about two miles. The first shot,
which was followed in rapid suceession by'
others, caused the 'rebel vessels to beat a hasty
retreat out of range. No 'damage wan 'sup
posed to hare been sustained by the vessels,
as the range had not been obtained. The
Buns wore then directed towards the wefts at
Yorktown and Gloucester, with a view otget
tins a reply. They were not bpi kept wait
ing, when a large pivot gun, stationed on the
heights of Yorktown ' sent a messenger which
caused every ono to jump for the erotic/ten.
The firing was now kept up quite briskly. for
two hours from both sides, with no damage no
far as we were eoneltrned, although some of
their shells Came too close to make it pleasant.
The accuracy of our gunners, considering this
was their first attempt with the new siege
places, was • acknowledged. by competent
judges to be most admirable. Some of our •
shells were seen to explode directly over the
enemy's parapets, which& moment before were
lined with men. About sixty shots wen fired
from our one or two hundritd pounder Parrott
during the afternoon. What,damage the-en..
emy sustained it not known.
The rebels opened on our paraleils, where
th works:den were engaged, at about dusk,
throwing atolls at intervals during the night.
No one was hurt.
Private Charles Young, of Ciitiipany A,
28th Penneylvania. Regiment, was severely
wounded in the knee last night, while on
picket duty.
.. . .
Heavy April showers still continue to visit
us daily, retarding in a considerable degree
our military operations.'

battalion, coinmanded by, Col. Taylor, •an..

From Cairo
As usual, I have to report a few. shells
from the rebels thrown at our pickets, and
other random shot's, resulting in no loss on
our side. Our gunboats alone have replied
to the enemy's fire today, dropping a few
shells into their works by way of diveraion.'
, The rebels evidently discovered . some
thing new this morning, which somewhat .
surprised them and drew their fire quite
sharply, fora few minutes. It was the dig
king of a trench within about twelve hun
yards of their chief stronghold, across en
open apace which stretches from the vicini
ty of Wormley's Creek to York river, and
commanding a fair view or their works in
their entire length. This trench wasting
during the night, audit is deep enough ,to
prevent any injury from sharp artillerY
shots or the explosion of 'shells.
The number of prisOners and deserters.
from the rebels has been quite large, but. I
am not permitted to give an official list,
so I withhold any particulars, merely-say
ing that they have all been sent northward.
TO LET.
SHOOTINO A DARING TOE.
A little incident happened to-day worth . '
relating. Ever since our pickets have been
within six. hundred yards of.the enemy's
works, a rebel even-footer has shoWn' him
self tauntingly at a safe distance frdm'our
gunk evidently braving lho fire 'of our
sharpshooters. All the pieces had been
peatedly levelled upon him, but vrithotitef- .
feat. To-day he came outside, ,; as Usual,
waving his hat, when two balls went whiz
zing toward him, but fell short. The rebel.
continued his observation& Meanwhile a
'messenger was dispatched for a certain tel
escopic target rifle, known - to be ,in the
hands of a sharpshooter, and Colonel Ber
.dati and one of his officers, accompanied
by' two of his men, walked out to see the
result as one would go to a bear hunt. Ar
rived at the point designated, the ssveir
footer was , still there!, when the owner of
the rifle drew up at arm's length, and the
moment the muzzle fell so as to cover Ida
heart the hair-trigger was touched and the
taunting, foe fell without a straggle. A
skirmish ensued, our sharpshooter trying
to prevent the 'rebels from recovering his
body, and it was finally.left outside until
nightfall.
4.a I close this Jetter there is a steady re
port of artillery on the left, butter pros

is fine this morning, and persons who are

From Y orktown.-Progreis of . tie
Beige, etc.
The correspondent of the New York Lyra
lug Post writes from before Yorktown, un
der date-of April 28th, as. follows :
By an order issued t6-day by Gen. Mc-
Clellan, Gen. Fitz-John Porter is assigned
to the direction of the siege of Yorktownt
Gen. Porter has, in fact, had almost the en.i
tire direction of the siege since its commen
cel
ment, and is now simply invested officially
with the powers that he previously-exer
cised. In saying, this lam confulezit that
none of his friends will think less of the
honor which his appointment at this time
confers upon him..
I have before said that Gen. Porter was
an untiring, indefatigable General, and
was never at rest; and also that, Gen. Mc-
Clellan appeared to have the utmost confi
dence- in Um, and to confide to him his
plans and rely upon his judgment. I also
stated that Gen. Porter had practically the
direction or the siege. And I am more
than ever satisfied that the siege will have
a glorious and successful termination.
Ever since the General's first balloon as:

lie saw at a glance the enemy's strong and
weak points, and has governed himself ac
cordingly, as the enemy will soon learn,
withogt information from cortespondents.
