LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. >AY MORNING, MARCH 7, 1664. Death of Alderman Mcßride The funeral of AldeTman Michael Mc- Bride, whose death we announced in Saturday’s paper, took place yesterday, He was a native of this county, having been born in the village of Lawrence" viile. In 1842 Mr. Mcßride entered Judge Shaler’s law office; after a course of reading he passed a most creditable ex amination, and was admitted to the bar. Shortly alter ffiia health began to fail, and from that period until his death he was never in anything like robust health. In early I'llc young Mcßride conceived a passion for the mimic stage, which he never lost. In 1851 he resum ed it, in this eity, under the management of Mr. Charles Porter. He opened in Julien St. Piere, in Knowles' play of “The Wife, or a Tale of Mantua," and sustained tin* < haracter with discrimina tion and effc i. His engagement con cluded with Hamlet, the performance of which was marked with great study and careful reading. Mr. Mcßride's physi cal condition unfitted him for the heav ier role of the drama; but in eharaeteKr like lago, Master Walter, orCapt. Hawks ley—in “Still Waters Run Deep”—parts requiring more judgment than action, be was always acceptable and effective, For the past lew years of bis life Mr. Mcßride acted as Alderman, and was an honest, faithful and conscientious pub lic servant. No scrutiny, however searching, can trace improper conduct to his administration. In every relation of life, indeed, lie was a most exemplary person; a good son, a taitliful friend, a genial companion and an honest man, and he died regretted by a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. Peace to his ashes.

The ministers of the connection number about tliree hundred and -twenty-five, rll of Whom ex* cept a few d&tained by illness or other uufor aeen causes, are in attendance and hospitably entertained by the citizens of all denominations in that nourishing railroad town. The confer ence met on Wednesday morning last, Bishop Ames presiding, and uniter his energetic man agement business has been so rapidly disposed of : that the session will probably close on Tuesday ! eveningof the present week. Thus far the de ; liberations of the body have been quite interest j mg and the church will not accommodate all j who desire to t*e present, their being a number i ol visiting muusters’from other couierenccs and I many laymen. The conference had befo’re it the case of Rev. ' Mr Kepler, one of its ministers, charged with a , breach of the church discipline, in preaching the ! divinity of slavery, and a strong effort Was , made to expel him. Belore the matter reached ! a \ otc it was settled by Mr. K. agreeing to with draw from the Conterenre. without making ; any attempt, personally or through his friends, at defence. Rev. Mr. Linnwait waß also tried for “immoral conduct, unbecoming a minlatcr ot the Gospel '' It seems he had entered the army, where tie attained the rank ol Colonel, but be : came dissipated ami conducted himself so badly that lie was dismissed the service in disgrace. : The Conference, a., ol Jul> bound, took up the ; matter and the result was the expulsion of the * offender.

FIRST EDITION, Kilpatrick’s Account of the Eaid. IMPORTANT FROM N. CAROLINA. General Sherman’s Operations, Further of Kilpatrick’s Raid. &0., &C., &c. New York, March 0. —The following letter has been received from Ncwbem: —Nkwbern, N. C., Februitrj’ 2b.—The body of Captain Weste' velt, of the gun boat Underwriter, lias been found in the river with a bullet through his _ head, which confirms the report that he'resist ed to the last. The firemen, together with all the citizens from eighteen to twenty years of age are under orders to be ready at a moment's notice to meet the enemy, who are said to be massing a large force for a final attempt to repos sess Newbern, Plymouth and Wilming ton. The attack will be of the most for midable character, and may take place at any moment. The report that a large fleet of gun boats were on the way here, accompa nied with reinforcements for our army,has encouraged all with the belief that with tliii aid,'we can resist sucessfully every effort the enemy may make to capture these important points. The Newbem Timet says: We are in formed that the rebel general in com mand at Kingston has hung several members of the 2d North Carolina regi ment, (white,) captured by him in tin recent movement upon Nevbern. Tlie same paper sirysthat an army of 50,000 Union soldiers marching to the heart of North Carolina and giving ns surance of protectien from Confederate vengeance, would insure the political conquest of the State. Yiewed simply in a military light an army of 000 men here could effect all the Army of the Potomac has lven three years at tempted to accomplish. We could take : and hold both the grand lines of the I railroad and communication through 1 this State by which the rebel army in Virginia is replenished, and would cut ! off all the supplies from ttic South and i Southwest, and Lee must evacuate Y ir ginia or starve. !

COLONEL DAHLGREN A PRISONER, Interesting From New Orleans. «fcC., &c\, &c. Pitn.ADEi.rntA, March 5. —The Even ing Telegraph publishes the following interesting acrount of Kilpatrick’s raid, from spetial correspondent of the Tri hunt: On Monday they reached the Virginia Central Railroad and tore up the track in four places and destroying whatever property would render tlie road useless. At Frederick’s Hall on the Central Rail- road they came upon a court-martial peacefully holding its sessions and cap tured a Colonel, live Captains and two Lieutenants. Gen. Lee had passed over the Railroad, on his way to his army, but about an hour before our men reach- ed it. Occasionally Union families were encountered who gave valuable informa tion and freely otiering what they had to eat and drink. Leaving Frederick’s Hall on Monday they pushed on to Riehmdnd a detachment of 500 men un dcr Col. Dalilgren, keeping well to the right in the direction of Louisa Court House, while Gen. Kilpatrick with the nuiin body moved upon Ashland, both parties scouring the country thoroughly and doing all possible damage. As the forces neared Richmond the two main parties began concentrating. Col! Dalilgren was to move down the right of Richmoud, destroying as much of .Tames river canal as possible, then ta king the river road was to cross opposite and enter the city from the South side and attempt the deliverance of our pris oners on Belle Isle. Gen. Kilpatrick with tin’ main body was to attack the city by the Brooke turnpike simultane ously, if possible, with the other move ment. It "was hoped to reach the city Monday night or early the following morning, when a partial or total surprise could be effected. Two of those fatalities which more than once during this war have snatched success from us, prevented the consiim- one of the best conceived and most brilliant plans of the whole war. Dalilgren had taken a ne- gro to pilot him to Richmond, aDd he led him toward Goochland instead of Richmond, and Tuesday Dalilgren found himscdfsevcral miles in just the opposite direction from that which he wished to take. The negro was promptly hung for his treachery. The men, exasperated by this, burned the bams and outbuildings of John A. Scddon, the rebel Secretary of War. Puhlgren retraced his steps down the river road, but did not reach the immediate vicinity of Richmond till afternoon, when everybody was on the alert, Kilpatrick having already made his attack. Dahlgren’sdetachment was divided into several parlies for the ac- cninplishmcnl of different objects, keep ing together however. A very sharp tight ensued on one party attempting to cross the river. They found the enemy in superior numbers confronting them on eveiy road and compelled them to fall back, lit attempting to cut their way out, Major Cook, of the dd New York, witli about one hundred and fifty men, got separated from the rest. The other detachments succeeded in rejoining Kilpatrick, but nothing had been hoard of this one. Meanwhile Kilpatrick ad vanced down the turnpike to Ashland, having torn up the rails at that point, destroying the telegraph a? he marched. At one station, however, an operator succeeded in sending a despatch to Rich mond announcing that the Yankees were coming. Tn less than fifteen min utes Richmond was on the qui rfee, and it has since been ascertained that about a dozen pieces of artillery were put in the battery and new intrenchmcnts were thrown up while ewaiting his arrival. Tne troops reached the outer fortifica tions early Tuesday morning, and as the spires and houses of the city came in view cheer upon cheer went up from our men. Riding rapidly forward the outer line of works were entered. The rebels were then surrounded and threw down their arms, many of them surrendering and others taking to their heels. A fight ensued for the next line of works, but the batteries were too much for them, and so with his battery Kil patrick opened upon the city. No doubt the men would have dashed upon every thing that stood in their way so enthusias tic had they become, hut Kilpatrickacted the wiser part and as the shrill whistle ot the locomotive told of the bringing up of reinforcements from Picketts’ brigade at Bottom's bridge and vicinity, he re luctantly gave the order to move toward Mechanicsvillc, On every road the en emy's pickets'confronted them and a series of mana-uvers took place,in which the enemy were found to be on the alert at every point. Night coming on Kil patrick halted end made preparations to camp. lie had chosen a place, howev er, too near the rebel camp, and of this act he was reminded by being shelled out of his position. So the command grouped its way on in darkness and gloom, fighting when pressed too hard and with-tell tale whistle of the locomo tive now warning them that troops were being hurried on to Bottom bridge in hope of cutting off their retreat On Monday Butler received orders to send over a force to meet Kilpatrick and assist him if necessary. This movement was part of Kilpatrick's plan as propos ed, had he known of or expected a force at New Kent Court House or at Bottom bridge, he would not have turned away front Richmond but would have entreated Gen. Butler’s forces to fight for the same place. Two thousand in fantry under Col. Dunkin, 4th U. S. colored regiment, 1,800 cavalry, Col. Spear, 11th Pa. cavalry and Belger's Ist battery, the whole under command of Col. West, were ordered to New Kent Court House, there to be governed by circumstances as to farther movements. The infantry and ordered troops which left Yorktown on Monday afternoon reached New Kent Court House about noon next day, having made an extra ordinary march through rain and mud. The cavalry that left Williamsburg on Monday night arrived on Tuesday morn ing aboul 8 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. Col. Spear took a portion of his cavalry fnree and proceeded to Tunstall’s Sta tion where he destroyed the new steam saw-mill and Court House. After rest ing a while they resumed their march down the Peninsula. Gen. Davis who led had several men shot by guerrillas, and Kilpatrick and his attendants chas ed a body of them, capturing a Lieuten ant and two men. The force picked up on their way one of the escaped prison ers, Colonel Watson or Watkins ot an Ohhio regiment. The men and Worses have home hard marching remarkably well the saddles not being removed du ring the trip and but little sleep given the men. Over 500 prisoners were tf ken but from the nature of thegxpedi lion it was impossible to bring them in. Casnalities not ascertained. Cot Dahl gren Major Cook, Lient. Col. Litch field’and about ISO msn ate missing,; Too much praise cannot he awarded Col. Dahlgren, nor too' much regret felt for his supposed capture. New TowgMgg® steamers Columbia and tSdinwell have arrived with K&vt Orfekfis advices ttf ‘ 27th~of? February. r,: -' ... • Admiral Farraghtf continued his at tack on the forts below Mobile, c 4 let ter from the fleet, dated 23d of February,., says : Tbe whole mortar.fleet hSu kept up an incessant fire on port Powell, which commands- Grant's pass,.>since daylight. The rebel ram Tennessee was offfort Morgan and is expected to attack our fleet. She is said to be more pOW erful than the Merimac was. Fort PoWell cannot hold out much longer against our bombardment. Admiral Farragut was on board the Calhoun near the Fort. Out regiments from the Teche are arriving' daily in New Origans and being sent in transports to cooperate with Farragut. Thirty-four prisoners had ; escaped from the New Orleans Customhouse, out 10 or 12 had been recaptured, and it was probable that the rest would be caught. A mutiny occurred on board the bark Garibaldi at the northwest pass on the 23d ult. The chief mate and one sea-i man are reported as having been killed hefore the mutiny was quelled. Gen. Weitzell was expected to return soon to New Orleans. An extensive fire occurred at Pensa cola on the 19th. The town is believed to have been destroyed by thercbels, un der the impression that our forces de signed to occupy it soon. The 18th New York cavalry had ar rived at New Orleans. Gen. Banks reviewed the artillery and cavalry at Carrollton on the 27th. Col. Chickering, of the 3d Massachu setts cavalry, has been appointed As sistant Provost Marshal General of Lou isiana. His duty is to superintend the labor system instituted by Gen. Banks. New Yobk, March 6 pa pers of the Ist and 2d inst. have been re ceived here. They admit that Kilpatrick penetrated within thTee miles of the city and relate how narrowly Lee escaped capture. Gen. Wiße also narrowly es caped, being at the residence of the rebel Secretary of War, from whence he reach ed the city. Four hundred more of our prisoners were shipped, on Feb. 29th, to Ameri cans, Georgia. Nearly 3,000 have thus far been sent there, and accommodations exist for 6,000, Forty-six miles of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad were destroyed by Gen. Sher man. The Southern road was also de stroyed from Meridian to Jackson, and 480 negroes were carried off. The rebel accounts of the battle of Olustee, in Florida, show that theirforce consisted of fourteen regiments of in fantry, four battalions of cavalry and three batteries of artillery. Their loss was 800 killed and wounded. St. Louis, March 6.—A statement from the Washington correspondent of the New York Commercial says that Sher man was at Yicksburg on the 24th ult. and that he will soon start another expe dition is a great mistake. None of Sher man’s forces had reached Jackson on the 24th, and Vicksburg advices of the 27th make no mention ofliis arrival there, or any conmplated new movement. Mc- Pherson’s corps which reached Jackson on the 24th, and will probably remain there for the present, but another ex pedition will not likely be made very soon. Parties from Gen. Grant’s front state that it is not probable any fighting will take place there for some time. Cairo, March 5. —The steamer Rock et, from Yicksburg on the 27th, arrived this afternoon with forty-seven guerrilla prisoners captured at various times by tbe Marine Brigade. They belonged to bands who had been firing into steam ers along the river. Among them were one captain and two lieutenants. Memphis papers of the"3d contain no news of importance.

The rebel cavalry are still scouring the country to the east of us. Martin’s cavalry appeared yester day in the French broad near the meet ing of Big Pigeon. Some apprehension is felt of a raid by Morgan on our Rail road communication with Chattanooga. New York, March 6. —The steamer (>cean Queen has arrived from AspinwalU with $508,000 in specie. The Constitu tion, which arrived at Panama on the 26th, brought down $1,600,000 in treas ure, of which the above sum was for New York and the balance for England. The last British mail steamer for Southampton took over $.5,000,000 in treasure. Cairo, March 5.—A private letter re ceived at Memphis from Ylcksburg, dated 27th ult. says: The 17th Army Corps, General McPherson commanding, is back at Jackson, where it is expected to remain for the present. SheTman, with the remainder of his force, is also en rovie for the same place. All the rail roads on Sherman’s route are utterly de stroyed. v Louisville, March 5. —Judge Pirtle, of the Chancery Court, yesterday decid ed on an assignment from disloyal firms for secur ty of their credits-to be valid.
