WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The following
notice to the public has just been published:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The undersigned
in behalf of the commissioners appointed by
the President to represent the interests of
such American citizens as might desire to
appear at the Exhibition of the Industry CT
all Nations, to be held.at the city of Lon
don during the present year, submit the
following statement
The Congress of the United States, after
due deliberation having declined to adopt any
measure to further national representation
of our works of industry, invention and
art at the before mentioned exhibition, the
authority of the commission has therefore
ceased. They have advised the commits
sioners appointed by the British Govern
ment that there will be no general partiei-
patton on the part of the citizens OF this
country on that occasion, but they have
thought it not improper at the same time
to recommend to the consideration of the
Royal Commissioners such works of indus
try and art as have received the authentica-
ton Of the commission and may, to limit
ed extent, be presented for exhibition
through individual exertion.

KANSAS CRY. Feb. ga skirmish oc'
Cured at Independence on the 9th between
a detachment of Ohio cavalry and band
of rebels headed by Parker. The latter
were routed with a loss of three killed,
several wounded and several taken Prison
ers. Z quaatity of arms was also taken.
The Federal loss was one killed and three
wounded.
The Santa Fe mail with dates to the 10th
inst, has arrived.
SibIey's proclamation did not have the
desired effect. Instead of rallying men to
bis standard it has strengthened the Union
army by at least two regiments, and placed
nearly all the citizens nnder arms Great
enthusiasm prevailed in the counties of
Bernadilio, Venicia, Socraso, and in the
upper counties. The militia has turned out
in large numbers.
Advices from Fort Craig are to the 7th
inst. The Texans under Sibley were at
Fort Thorne, fifty miles from Fort Craig,
on the latter place. Their sup
plies were scarce, their transportation poor,
and their only alternative was to light or
starve to death Our forces are anxious
for battle, and have every advantage aud
are confident of success providing there he

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 25.-Much excitement
was occasioned by discoVering-that bills IN
troduced by WADE, from Conduct of War
Committee, and passed some time siuce, au-
thorizing the President to take possession
of the railroads, also authorized him to ex-
tend railroads, by construction.
1t appears, since the passage of the bill,
that contract has been made by the War
Department to build railroad $50 miles
long, from Lebanon, KY, to Knoxville,
Tenn. The House to-day repealed that por-
ton of the bill almost unanimously, and
there is talk of E. motion to discharge the
Conduct of the War Committee from fur
Their session.

New York, February ga special to
/ the Tribune says several days have passed
since gun has been fred from the rebel
batteries on the lower Potomac, although
numerous vessels have sailed by them in
perfect security.
1t is doubted whether the guns be not black
ened logs and whether the gunners have
not left the banks of the Potomac. Two
WhitwOrth guns reached Gen Hooker yes
terday and will be used to ascertain the
facts of the case.i
WORLDS DISPATCH.
The indications in the Senate to-day are
clearly in favor OF the passage of Senator
TrumbulIs confiscation bill, with an amend
ment freeing all slaves of rebels.
Senator Powell will deliver a speech to-
morrow against the bill, to take occasion
to explain his present position as Sena-
tor, it being intimated that his views are
inconsistent with his holding his seat at the
present time.
The House judiciary Committee are
nearly agreed on confscation bill, but
may possibly await the action of the Sen
ate.
The tremendious gale that commenced
so fnriously on Monday night, has dried up
the mud and prepared solid ground for our
soldiers. Already a wonderful change has
taken place, and the soldiers are becoming
confident that they are to move at last.
TINES SPECIAL.
Gen. Mcclellan received a dispatch an
hour since, confirming the report that
Nashville, Tenn, was taken by Gen. BuelPs
army, and stating that the rebel army had
fallen back to Murfreesboro, about thirty
miles south of Nashville.
The judgment of the Court Martial in the
case of Col. Jas. Kerrigan has been ap-
proved by Major General Mcclellan, and
general order issued carrying it into effect.
The Court did not fud Karrigan guilty of
treason, but of inefaciency and of conduct
an officer in the gross neglect
of his military duty as manifested in the
condition of his regiment.
Kerrigan was adjudged to be dismissed
from the service

Fort MONROE, February 25.-The steam
er R. S. SpauldIBg arrived here this morn
ing, having left Roanoke Island the day
before. No news.
By her we learn of the failure of the
attempt to lay the telegraph cable across
the bay. On the day that the Ho5oken sailed,
six miles of the cable were laid in the
most successful manner, when operations
stopped for the night. On yesterday, the
Hoboken was occupied in taking soundings,
when a severe gale of wind, which sprung
up on that day, struck her about noon.
Her steam pipe broke soon afterwards and
she became unmanageable, drifting upon
Cape Henry, where she went ashore and
broke in two last night. She is a total
loss. All hands were saved. The remain
der of the cable, about fifteen miles, was
destroyed before it was abandoned. About
an equal quantity is laid in the bay and the
end is buoyed up.
The gun boat R. B. Forbes was seen by
the Spaulding ashore near Nays Head
This morning white flags were displayed
in all the houses in that vicinity.
Major ]. t. Sawyer, arrived at Norfolk
yesterday, having left Elizabeth City on
Sunday at noon. He represents everything
quiet in that locality. He says the entire
tank on Saturday morning, but that two of
them returned in the evening. He also
states that but few of the inhabitants re-
manned in the place.
The Wilmington Journal of yesterday
says five or six Federal gunboats have en-
tered the Roanoke river.

Bill Nearly Agreed on.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. The only amend
ment made 20 the U. S. Note Bill by the
Committee of Conference at their second
meeting to-day, is of an important charac-
ter, namely To receive the fifty million of
demand notes heretofore authorized, in pay
ment of duties on imported goods, while
apart from these, such duties are to be paid
in coin.
The President has approved the forti6ca-
ton bill; it is therefore law.
Both houses yesterday agreed to the re-
port of the Committee of Conference on
the Treasury Note bill. 1t retains the pro-
vision that the notes be redeemable in five
years, or payable in twenty years at the
pleasure of the Government. 1t also makes
duties on imports payable IN coin, and
pledges it to the payment of interest on
notes and bonds. 1t strikes out the pledges
OF public lands.

speaking of the number of shots fired at
the gunboats, and the damage done to them,
says that "one shot struck the pilot-house
of the St. Louis, passing through it between
the pilots legs, without inJuriDg him."
That pilot is surely badly bow-legged, or
else the shot could not have been a very
large one; though it is possible he saw the
