it is reported that brigade of Rebels con
sisting of infantry, cavalry and artillery ap-
preached within a mile of Manassas last
night, but did not venture to attack our out
posts there.
The Tunes says new military depart
ment has been created composed of the
States OF South Carolina, Georgia and Flor
ida, ard Major General Hunter has been as
signed to Its command. Headquarters are
to be at Beaufort.
Gen. Hunter will rank Gen Sherman, but
this is not considered in a military sense as
a supersedure of Gen. Sherman.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says
we have private adyices that Fredericksburg
has been occupied by Union troops. Our
reports state that the capture was effected
on Sunday. We have no particulars except
that the rebels failed in their attempts to des-
troy the cars on the Railroad track there.
The Hsrdid's dispatch saws the relations
of Capt. Franklin Buchanan who command

NEW YORK, March 10.
The steamship Anglo Saron. from Liver
pool the 9th, with days later news from
Europe, has arrived this morning. The i'm
portance of the Federal successes IN Tennes-
see is generally recognized. American secu-
rites have advanced in consequence.
Nothing has yet been heard Of the steam
ship Baltimore.
The Times admits the recent successes Of
the Federals and their importance. but says
they have been gained in countries where
the allegiance of the population was divided
and they have scarcely brought the Fed raj
Government any nearer than before to the
reconstruction of the Union.
The Morning Post hopes that both the
UnIonists and Secessionists will look upon
the present state of affairs as affording
grounds for compromise, as the conquest Of
the South is beyond attainment on one hand
and complete independence may be beyond
the power Of the South.
Cyrus W. Field had an interview with
Earl Russell recently at the Foreign Office, in
regard to connecting Europe and America
by a cable from Ireland to New FOundland.
1t is understood to haYe been satisfactory
and encouraging. The annual meeting Of
