AMERICA.

REUTER'S EXPRESS.
(Per the City of London.)
NEW YORK, April 16.
Despatches from the Army of the Potomac
announce that the roads in its vicinity are now i❑
excellent condition, presenting no obstacle to an
immediate advance. The Orange and Alexandria
Railroad is again in running order, and uninter-
rupted railroad and telegraphic communication
exists between the army and Washington. It is
expected that active operations will commence
at once.

The rebel guerillas are becoming active. On the
14th Mosby, with about five hundred rebel cavalry,
appeared suddenly near Bristoe station, and cap-
tured 25 Federal soldiers. He moved off in the
direction of Fredericksburg,
It is reported that Longstreet had reached Rich-
mond on the 11th with the greater portion of his
army, and that General Leo had been heavily rein-
forced from other points, and also by a great num-
ber of conscripts.
The Army of the Potomac is believed to exceed
that of General Lee in numbers, and is represented
to be in excellent condition.
There is no further news from Knoxville or
Chattanooga. East Tennessee is said to have been
eni-Leely abandoned by the rebels.
Fort Pillow, on the Mississippi River, 70 miles
above MAl:phis, was captured on the 12th inst. by
the rebel foeces under Gen. Forrest, who demanded
first a eurrend:kr of the fort—declaring that, if he
had to take it by
storm, no quarter would be given
to the coloured troops, qf which the garrison mostly
consisted. Major Booth,
;.he Federal commander,
refused to surrender, and the re,!`
els at once stormed
the fort, overpowering the garrison by numbers.
The negro troops became panic-etricken, and fled
to the rear, It is alleged that the rebels masertcred
nearly all the negro and many of the white troops
after the surrender of the fort, and that lase than 200
out of the garrison of 600 were spared. ANN. Booth
was killed. The rebel General Chalmers is said to
have endeavoured to stop the carnage. An account
received, via Cairo, states that only 56 negroes were
spared, and that not one officer who commanded
them survived. The rebels are said to have lost
heavily in the assault. Several of the guns
were spiked previous to their falling into the
hands of the rebels. The guns of the fort
were turned upon the Federal gunboat No. 7, which
was compelled to withdraw. It is said that the
rebels intended to evacuate the place and attack
Memphis. One despatch, however, states that they
will garrison and hold the fort. No boats are
allowed to go below Columbus, Kentucky.
The Government is said to have received no con-
firmation of the reported massacre of the garrison,
although the accounts received are generally be.
lieved to be but little exaggerated.
The rebel General Buford, commanding a division
of Forrest's forces, drove in the Federal pickets at
Columbus, Kentucky, on the 13th, and demanded
the surrender of Fort Halleck. The Federal com-
mander refused to surrender, and Buford's forces
withdrew, and a portion of them subsequently
attacked and occupied Paducah, being finally
driven oat by the Federal gunboats. They moved
off towards Mayfield, taking with them a large
amount of plunder,
There is a. prevailing apprehension that the ope-
rations of Forrest and Buford, although important
in themselves, are merely intended to effect a diver-
sion in favour of more formidable operations else-
where under General John Morgan. Under whom,
at last accounts, a very heavy force was being con-
centrated at Abingdon, in SoutheWestern Virginia.
Rebel guerillas are quite active in Kentucky,
opposite Cairo.
Advices from Louisiana to the sth inst. state
that General Banks and staff had reached Grand
Ecore. Alexandria has been put in condition for
defence against a threatened rebel attack. The
heavy ironclads had dropped down the Red River
to Fort De Russy, There was nothing further from
the column moving against Shreveport, under
General Smith.
Latest advices from Arkansas state that General
Steele's army, on the 7th inst., had reached a point
on the Little Missouri river, 25 miles from Cam
den, and expected next day to effect a junction with
the force under General Thayer, advancing from
Fort Smith. General Steele,has been several times
attacked by the rebels under Marmaduke and
Shelby with cavalry, the rebels being repulsed in
each case.

Texas advices announce the occupation of Eagle
Pass, on the Rio Grande, by :a heavy Federal
cavalry force. Eagle Pass has been the great point
at which the rebels have sent cotton over into
Mexico, Corpus Christi has been re-occupied by
the Federals, and a number of rebel prisoners
taken.

A cavalry fight between the 14th New York and
a portion of the Seventh Alabama regiments is re-
ported to have occurred near Barrancas, Florida,
in which the rebels lost heavily and retreated.
The rebel conscription is rigidly enforced in
Southern Alabama, and terrible persecutions are
said to be inflicted on those who try to evade it.
Admiral Porter has furnished the navy depart-
ment evidence of the ezistence of a regularly orga-
