NEWS OF THE DAY.
There is stirring news this morning
from Eastern Virginia. On Saturday
we had advices Of the repulse of the
advance of Gen. BANKs' army, at Front
Royal. His forces subsequently, fell
back to Winchester, followed by the
rebels, and again retrested toward
Msrtinsburg. The dispatches say the
enemy is supposed to have concluded
to abandon Richmond, for the purpose
of assuming the offensive.
A Brigade in Gen. Cox's Division o.
FREMoNT's army had fight with the
rebels at Lewisburg on Friday, in
which the latter were defeated.
The advices from before Corinth
leave us in doubt as to whether Gen
HlLLEcK expected to attack or be at.
tackled. Gen. PoPE made reconnois.
ance on Saturday, routing three rebel
regiments, with a loss of only four
wounded on his side.
The troubles in Mexico seem to have
no end. Gen. ALhoETE is in armed
revolt against the Government, and
Gen. MARQUEE has Joined him. Their
revolt is apparently upheld by the
French Commander. They hold Ori-
zaba, Cordova, and other places
ZARAGoeA, commanding the Govern
ment forces, had fought MARQUEE be-
fore his junction with ALMoNTE, and
defeated him. 1t is reported, however,
that the reyelutionists have a strong
party in the city of Mexico, and the
whole French force was expected there
on the 18th inst. In Vera Cruz the
French manage everything as they
choose, and have deputed the admins
tration of the city government to Al
MoNTE's adherents. The Governor of
the city, MANUAL SERRAEo, claims to
have been appointed "by his Excellen-
cy, the Provisional President of the
Republic" Gen. Don Juan N. Almon-
te. Mr.. Corwin has concluded anoth-
er treaty with Mexico, engaging the
United States Government to lend
Juarez S11, 100000 to aid him in re-
sisting foreign ninvasion.
We have glorious news from North
Carolina. The stars and stripes have
been raised at Raleigh, the capital, by
the citizens. Raleigh is one hundred
miles west of Newbern, with which it
is connected by the North Carolina
Central Railroad.
From rebel papers received at Gen.
HALLEcK's headquarters we have much
interesting news. Com. FARRAeUT's
feet arrived at Natchez and sent a
fisherman ashore to demand a surren-
der.o of the place. The Natchez Cour-
ier says thatIthe mob hung the messen-
ger and bade the feet defiance. Moth
ing further is said of the Commodore's
operations there. If this outrage was
committed, which we very much doubt,
the rebels probably having put the
deed for the will, the Commodore as
suredly made them suffer for it. As
we next hear from him at Vicksburg,
Natchez was assuredly satisfactorily
disposed of. We are next told that he
had reached Vieksburg, had demand
ed and been refusad fha s-Ir-s-av. -
the city, and had warned the women
and children to leave, previous to com
mencing bombardment. At this in
teresting juncture our rebel informants
bring their revelations to an end. We
published a statement few days since
that the Commodore left Vicksburg for

rebel stories. will be awaited with i'm
patience. In Arkansas all was alarm
over the progress Of Gen. Curtis col
umn. Recruits were being feverishly
called for by the rebel authorities, and
some skirmishes had occurred.
In the rebel journals we likewise find
an alleged proclamation of Gen. BUT
LER, telling the Secesh women of New
Orleans, who haye been insulting our
soldiers in the most audacious manner,
that if by word or gesture they offend
in this matter again, they will be treated
as women of the town. An inflamma-
