PRISONERS FROM NORTH CAROLINA
REPORTS FROM REBEL SOURCES.

Fort MONROE, May 26.-The steamer
Emile, from Ncwbern on the Oath, has arriv-
ed. She brings l66 rebel prisoners captured
at kinston, about twenty miles from New
bern, on the 22d inst.
The flag of truce steamer State of Maine
from City Point, has arrived, with 67 ex-
changed Union officers, among them Capt
Brown and Lieut.. Carstair of the gunboat In
dianola. She also brings back ii rebel Off
GERS, the rebels having refused to give our
officers in exchange. They were sent to fort
Norfolk by the steamer Croton. The rebels
are holding n lieutenant as hostage for one
executed by Gen. Burnside as a spy. The
following items are taken from the Richmond
Wing Of May 25th -
"Our southern exchanges intimate rumor
that Gen. Johnston has taken from General
Pemberton his sword, and placed him under
arrest.
''rhe steamers Margaret and Jessie, Capt.
Wilson, Annie, Capt. Cariin, and Kate, Capt.
Stubs, arrived at Charleston last Wednesday,
from Nassau, with valuable cargoes Gen
Forrest and his staff arrived at Shelbyyille,
Tenn, on the l4th inst. He is to take com
mand of Van Dorns division"
"TULLAHoMA, May 23.-The rumor of the
capture OF two of our regiments in front, with
piece Of artillery, is not true. The enemy
did surround and capture a small post of some
forty men. All is quiet in front
The jackson Appeal of the 18th, says ''our
loss in the first days engagement near Ray
mond, may be stated at six hundred killed,
wounded and missing. The loss in officers is
said to be small"
The Richmond papers also contain the fol-
lowing additional items =
can official dispatch from Gen. Johnston,
dated May 23d, says an officer who left Vicks-
burg on Tuesday, the 10Th, reports that an as
sault near the Yazoo road, on Pembertons
entertainments, had been repealed. 1t is said
to-day that another assault was made near
the jackson road and was also repulsed
Confidence in Pemberton's ability to maintain
his position is expressed, and hopes are given
of final success"
"ArLANTA, GA, May 23.-Vicksburg has
five months supplies of every kind, and can
be taken only when the force defending it
have exhausted their supplies. The Yankees
report the capture of Alexandria, La, but it
is not credited"

miscellaneous War News.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The council of
war held yesterday at the White house was the
result of the last visit of senators Wade and
Chandler to the army of the Potomac and had
reference to the offensive movements which
the rebels in Virginia have been for some
time threatening. Gen. Hooker is said to ex-
press the opinion that the enemy are bring
ing up all their forces from Charleston, and
probably North Carolina, for desperate ag-
gressive movement. In view, however, of
the publicity given to these threats by the
rebels themselves, it seems more likely that
their design is to provide for the defence of
Richmond, and. by their usual buster, to de
ter Hooker fIom another immediate advance
Gen. Grants despatch to the president, re-
ceived yesterday, is very satisfactory in its
details, but it contains information which, if
published, might be useful to the enemy.

COLONEL JONES ON A RAID.

NEwBERN, N. c., May 24.-Col Jones, of
the 5Sth Pennsylvania regiment, made a re-
connoissance from Newbern on the 22d inst,
with Lees brigade, and, when within about
seven miles of Kinston, surprised and cap
tured some 200 rebels belonging to the 18th
North Carolina regiment, with several officers,
field piece, arms, equipments, sc. A rebel
captain and lieutenant were killed. None
were killed on our side. Col. Jones is the
hero of many daring exploits, and as militia
ry man stands very high in this department.
He will soon be promoted.
The schooner Sea Bird of Philadelphia,
while aground at the mouth of the Neuse river
on the goth inst, was captured and burned by
the rebels, who went off to her from the shore
in small boats, and took her captain and crew
prisoners.
All the rebel troops in the state, including
the recent conscripts, have gone to Virginia.
Gen. Wilde is making fine Roadway in recruit
ing his African brigade. Gen. Porter is now
on a tour of inspection to the different militia
ry posts in this department, which he is con-
tnually strengthening.
BEAUFORT, n. c., May 20th.-It appears
from recent developments that million del
lars worth of supplies have reached the enc
my through division and regimental suffers.
The farmers have the exclusive right to open
wholesale houses whenever they choose, and
in many instances they have such houses es-
tablished where we have no military jurisdic-
ton, and where free access to the enemy is
readily obtained.

There seems to be at w ashlngton strong
e1nectation that Gen. Lee, reinforced from
Nortb and South Carolina; is about to march
nortbward. threaten Washington, and make
an attempt to invade Maryland and Pennsyl-
yauia This, it is said, is General Hookers
opinion, as well as that of others who ought
to be well informed, and it has some confirm
alton in the report from North Carolina that
most of the rebel troops in that state have left
for Virginia Gov. Curtin appears to have
the same thought, for he is in Washington,
making arrangements to meet the ex-
pected invasion If Lee should leave his in
trenchments and undertake such campaign,
we think he would find it perilous and costly.
Gen. Hooker's army can be largely and speed
lily reinforced from Gen. Dix's department, if
necessary; and there are Union troops in
MARYLAND, around Washington, and in the
neighborhood of Harper's Ferry, as well as on
the Rappahannock
From Vicksburg we have reports to SUM-
day morning, when everything was going on
we'll" We have also additional particulars
in regard to the situation of affairs last Fri
day, when our forces had captured all the
water batteries and held Pemberton very
closely shut up within his last defences. 1t
is stated that he had offered to surrender the
position if his troops could be permitted to lay
down their arms and march away unmolested.
This General Grant refused. A report from
Tennessee states that Bragg's army has begun
to move towards Vicksburg; and also that
General Rosecrans is about to give us stirring
news.

The SIXTH REGIMENT IS expected home in
the S r. Spaulding next Saturday, and will be
mustered out of service after their arrival at
Lowell. They left Massachusetts on the 9th of
September last, with 9l5 men, all sound, hale
and hearty-each one expecting to return to his
home at the end of nine months. But, alas
some of that band have been summoned to "that
country from whose bourne no traveller returns"
The whole number discharged, died and missing
amounts to s., as follows: Died of disease, 70;
died of wounds received in battle, 81 killed in
battle, 7; killed by falling tree, /; resigned
and discharged, 25; taken prisoners, 1O-total,
5s-making the whole number now IN the regi-
ment, S57. Quite lumber of these are sick in
the hospital, and Others wounded-so that the
regiment will not probably muster over 500
on its return. The Lowell people are making
extensive arrangements for their reception.
