During the quarter there were received at
the Washington ofh,e 5000 registered letters

10 our report Of the previous quarter, that not
q single instance of delay or loss has occurred

To give the members OF Congress, officers ut

n Nr0ROrs EMPLOY I'D BY THE REB
ELS.

In speculating the other day upon the poss-
BILE force Of the enemy at Yorktown, We refer
red only to the white population Of Virginia.
Homer sometimes slept, aud we confess that
We forgot for the moment that the rebels possess
certain kind Of common sense which some
other people lack. They never make point
Of color, when they have work or fighting to be
done.
For example, we ind the following In the
Fortress Monroe correspondence Of April -, In
the Baltimore American:
1.-THE rebel guns, especially those on the
heavy works, are manned altogether by ne.
groes, or at least all the work Of swabbing,
loading, and shifting 10 done by them, with
white men to oversee and direct them. So
soon as 4 gun 10 fred white faces can be seen
peering over the ramparts 10 see the effect OF
the ball, and our marksmen choose white
mark with their rifles in preference to black
one."
This is not an abolition" story, as the Balti.
more American detests an "abolitionist," much
more cordially than 1t does secessionst.
The rebels have hardy negro population o.
four millions to draw soldiers from, and they
will make use of them In that way, more and
more. as the war progresses.

THE RETREAT OF JACKSON.

CAMP NEAR SPARrA April 20.-Every thing
was quiet along our front yesterday. Our cav
airy reconnoissances have penetrated The val
ley for some miles towards Harrisonburg. They
report large quantity of forage and fresh pro.
visions there. Deser'ers report Jackson's ad
vance to be at McGsugh east Of Har-
ri.onburg, and that he is still retreating.
Ashby's command still forms the rear guard Of
the enemy.
The signal officers report the enemy's cav
airy 10 be in sight yesterday afternoon.
Some of the desertrrs believe that Jackson
means to cross the Blue Ridge and reach Cor.
donsville; others think he intends to make t.
detour north In the valley of the south fork OF
the Shenandoah, TO attack our left flank.
A northeast storm is prevailing in the valley
to-day.
Another Of Ashby's lieutenans was brought
in yesterday.

In his speech in the House, April IL, upon

Of the District called on the father for bis sor
