The London Times in an editorial, says that
after recent events, it is not impossible that
we may yet see Garibaldi crossing the Attain
tic in the assumed character of an American
citizen, and fighting for the subiugation of
nation struggling to be free.
The Morning Post remarks, that to be con-
sistent, Garibaldi should go to the other side,
where nine millions are fighting for the right
OF governing themselves. The Post endeav-
ors to prove that Gen. Pope is incompetent
from his own reports.
The Times says that Gen. Pope, in his own
reports, succeeds in showing that if there was
one man more than another unfit for command
in the Federal army, it was the garrulous gen.
eral who puts the blame of every failure upon
others.

WASHINGTON, March 28-TThe steamer
Yankee arrived from below last night, and
reports that on Monday morning two boats
crews from here landed at Shipping Point
to remove the guns left by the rebels, but
while 80 employed a squad of rebel cavalry,
said to be the Dumfries Cavalry, number
ing SOC, made their appearance on the hin,
aud our men pulled off after securing two
guns, one a 9-inch Dahlgrnn and the other
a long 32-pound smooth bore, which were
brought up to the yard, and were found to
be- doGble-shotted. The Yankee fell out
into the stream on the appearance of the
enemy, and turned her guns upon them, but
they retreated and kept out of range. The
Yankee brought up, 10 addition to the two
rebel guns, one hundred and sixty-Hine
9-inch shells loaded, and four hundred
s-inch shells unloaded, which were taken
from the rebel batteries at Transport. The
rebels have left the saw-mill untouched,
and there is sufficient lumber at the mill, to
make quarters for several Thousand men.
Two deserteFs came from Acquia Greek
few days since, who state that large num-
Der of rebel troops are congregating on the
Rappahannock, where they will make g
stand. Contrabands are coming daily to

WIEoaBsTRR, March N2s-The latest in
telligence we have from Strasburg is dated
yesterday. Ashby's rebel forces, with four
guns, appeared near Strasburg, and threw
several shells into our camp, killing one of
our men and wounding another His posi-
ton was such as to prevent US from cutting
him off. Gen. Banks Teconnoitered all the
positions of the enemy for several miles
around and returned to camp after dark.
The rebel General jackson is believed to be
very quiet before Edinburg. Most of the
population of Strasburg have been Union
lists throughout the war and are still. The
agent of the Manassas Railroad and Station,
Wester, who has been hiding for weeks in
the mountains to avoid Gen. Jackson's for
ces, has returned and given valuable infor-
nation to Gen. Banks. Many of the in
habitants have been residing for weeks in
the mountains.
