R4~ From WINCHESTER AND MARTINS
sURG.-Major rockingham, of General
Kelley's staff, reached the city yesterday
from Winchester. He reports that the
rebels have literally Quilted the ouutry.
and that all evidences of. thrift. and pros.
Perity are gone. Upon approaching the
town of Winchester, Gen. Shields diyis-
ion heard all sorts of exaggerated reports
about the strength of the Notifications
around the town. The Notifications
were simply contemplate. About three
miles from Winchester, ON the Martins
burg road, rude breastw orks were thrown
up, which the rebels called fort but it
proved to be a meanly constructed para
pet. A half a dozen rounds from six
FOUNDER would have dispersed any body of
troops that may have been in it. The
same is true of all the Notifications about
the place. A contemplation of what the
rebels have destroyed in the way of rail-
road property about Martiusburg and Har.
Per's Ferry, is sickening. They burned
nearly three miles of cars and nearly forty
engines. The Government had commenced
to repair the railroad leading from HarpeFs
Ferry to Winchester, and by this time the
cars are running between the two points
for the supply of the immense army in and
about the latter place.
Generals Banks, Shields, Hamilton and
Williams were at Winchester, their respec-
tive commands composing the fifth corps
fGrmss, under Gen. Banks.
The First Virginia Infantry are encamped
about three miles from Winchester, on the
Martins6urg road. The Seventh Virginia
is at Hancock, and the First Virginia Cav.
airy with the exception of detached COM
pantes, is still at Paw Paw.

n0rRxruRX OF .WuEELlXa REBkLs.-

BsS RETURN OF rMHGHLING REBELS,-
Last evening W. II. H. Moyston, James
HerrtOt and William Gorrell, three of the
young men who joined the Shriver Grays
in this city, and secretly departed Cor
secessia at the breaking out of the war, re-
turned to their homes. They were arrested
under the following circumstances: The
young men named, with five others, had
left their cOmpauy's quarters to go up and
see wounded member of the same named
Burket, who boarded at house near Win
chester. When onr army approached a
descent was made upon this house aud the
occupants scattered ia all directions and
were fired upon by the Federal soldiers
Four of the men escaped but the three we
have named together with young fellow
named Glenn Sutherland from Steubenville,
Ohio, were arrested, nearly all of them by
a single man, from which circumstance it
may be presumed they were not very aux-
ious to escape. Indeed Herriot candidly
admits this.
The four men were taken before the Fed
eral officers. MoystOn, GOrrell and Her
riot took an oath to support the Constitu-
ton of the United States aud were dis
charged. Sutherland refused to take the
oath and is now confined in Winchester
Jail. The other three procured passes
through Mr.. j. h. Ford, and started for
Wheeling.
The men we have named have all been
indicted for treason aud upon hearing that
they would reach the city at Eve O'Clock
P. NJ, Marshall Norton telegraphed the
conductor of the train and his deputy at
MOundsville to have the parties secured.
Accordingly when the train reached the
depot (where a large crowd had collected
to see the boys, and perhaps for a less
harmless purpose) the men were arrested
upon eapiasts and confined in the county
Jail to be tried for treason.
large number of citizens visited the
Jail last evening to enquire after absen.
friends in the land of Dixie, aud the boys
seemed willing and anxious to give all the
Information in their power. They report
that Watkins Kearns is not dead, as re-
ported in the Press the other day. John
ROhan, member of the Shriver Grays, and
sou of Michael ROhan of this city, died
last December. A young fellow named
Foster is also dead Also Frank Bush
field. With the exception of these three
and those who were killed at Manassas
the members of the company are well.

% HIS NAMr-The name of the man
who was killed on the Pittsburgh L Fort
Wayne Railroad, near Louisville, on satur.
day, was Benjamin Orr. The axle Of the
tender broke and nine cars were thrown
from the track. Orr was killed by a rail
from the track, which struck him ia
the side, passing upward and entirely
through him, coming out behind the shout
der. His body was torn in most shock
Ing manner. A freight train ran of near
Alliance, on the same day, caused by the
falling of the brakes. Three cars were pre-
Cepitated over an embankment, but no
one was hurt.

From Cairo.

CHICAGO, March l0.-A special dispatch
TO the Tribune from Cairo, 18th, says the
steamer Gladiator, from Pnducali, brings a
large quantity of ordnance stores captured
az Donelson, consisting in part of thirty
elght pieces of artillery and large guam
tity of ammunition.
The steamer McGill also arrived from
Pittsburgh, on the Tennessee river. She
left there yesterday P. 81, but reports no
movements Of Importance by the troops
concentrating there.
Skirmishes had occurred between the
pickets, and two or three were killed on
each side, Four rebels were taken prison
ers.
The rebels are concentrating at Corinth,
Miss, and Decatur, Ala, at the latter place
in large numbers.
The officers of the McGill report not
particle of Unionism thereabouts,
Gentlemen who have just arrived from
Pittsburgh landing say that on Friday last
the rebels burned the bridges and destroyed
the track on the Charleston and Memphis
Railroad between Florence and Eastport,
The country in that vicinity is covered
with water. Military operations are neces-
sarily restricted. The rebels avoid the river;
keeping out of the range Of our gunboats.
The rebel force at Decatur and Corinth is
estimated 70 numOer 4OtOUO.
The latest intelligence from below con.
tanned u despatch from Gen. Pope, dated
A. H., stating that up to a little before
that time the firing had been heavy and
continuous, but ut seven it had materially
slackened.
Information from Columbus, received
last evening, states that the rebels reap
Peared on the banks of the river six miles
below Columbus. No trouble was antici-
pated from them.
The published reports of the capture Of
Island No. 10, arc undoubtedly premature.
The latest accounts from Columbus are to
IL o'clock yesterday forenoon, at which
time heavy canuonadtng was distinctly
heard in the direction of the Island.
There have been no arrivals from the
Tennessee or Cumberland rivers in the last
"a hours. No more gunbOats have ascend
ed higher than Savannah since the engage
ment of the Lexington with the rebel bat
teries at Pittsburgh.
The collection of 80 transports ut Sa-
yannah, in connection with circumstances
known here, but not considered proper for
publication, indicates that the country
about the Tennessee river, near the Ala.
bamH line, is to be the theatre of extensive
military operations.

Official Report of General Burnside.
WASHINGTON, March l9.-Gen. Burnside
in his official report says, must deter for
want of time n detailed account of the ac-
tiou. tits enough to say that after an en-
gagement of four hours We succeeded in
carrying continuous line of field works
of over u mile in length, protected on the
river flank by a battery of thirteen heavy
guns and on the opposite flank by line of
redoHbts of over half mile in length for
rihemeu and field pieces iu the midst of
swamps and dense forests, which line of
works was defended by eight regiments of
Infantry, five hundred Cavalry, and three
ried by most gallant charge of our men,
which enabled US to gain the rear of ali the
batteries between this point and NeWbern.
which was done by the rapid advance of
the entire force up the main road and rail-
road. The naval fleet meantime was push.
ing its way up the river, throwing their
shot into the forts in front of us, the enemy
retreating in great confusion, throwing
away blankets, knapsacks, arms, &C.,
cross the railroad bridge ard county road
bridge, they burned the latter thus pre-
venting further pursuit and causing a de.
tention in occupying the town by our mill
tary force, but the naval force had ar.
rived at the wharves and commanded it
by their guns.
at once advanced Gen. Fosters brigade
to take possession of the town by means OF
the naval vessels which Com. Rowan had
kindly volunteered for the purpose. The
city was set on FIRE by the retreating reb-
els in many places, but owing to the exer-
,uons of the naval officers the remaining
citizens were induced to aid in extiuguish
ing the flames, SO that but little harm was
done.
F Many of the citizens are now returning,
and We are, now in quiet possession of the
city. .lI.sl. :
We have captured the printing press. and

By this victory our combined forces have
captured batteries, containing in all 81

of ammunition, commissary and quarter.

equipage of tue rebel troops, alarge guam.

them mortally. Among these are some O

The rebel loss is severe, but not SO great
as orr own, having been effeetuaIly covere,
