WAsHINaToN, Feb. 5.-The reports in regard
to the encounter Off Charleston, being from
rebel sources, are doubtless greatly exagger-
ated. There has been no interruption Of the
blockade, and such assumption will not be ad-
mitted by the government. A telegram was
received to day from Fortress Monroe saying
Gen. Dix 10 In receipt Of rebel news from
Charleoton to the Sd inst, at which time that
port was Thoroughly blockaded, the Federal
iron.clads laying inside the wooden ships. The
former we're not with the feet at the time OF
the attack on the lst inst. An attack on the
city was momentarlly expected.

three frigates.
The Pays says Sweden is actively engaged in
armaments.
lie Nord and some other journals speak of
projected interview between the Car and the
King of Prussia.
The Pays says: We believe ourselves able to
give an exact analysis of the French note sent
to st. Petersburg. NJ. Drouyn de L'Huys states
that the troubles in Poland have occasioncd
uneasiness in Europe, as they are not the resuIt
of temporary crisis. The note points out
that such disturbances are a subject of alarm
to Europe, and, If prolonged, might disturb the
relations of government and produce lament
able consequences. The note concludes with a
hope that Russia will reflect upon these consid-
erations, and will adopt measures which will
place Poland in position of lasting peace.
The Pays further states that the Imperial

An engagement had taken place at Myszkoro.
Severe fighting had also occurred at Rodomska.
It was reported the insurgents had been victo-

Gen. Berg is said to have demanded 100, 900

A general levy had been ordered in the seven

Latest from Hooker's Army.
HAS CHANGED HIS BASE.
Capture Of Nine Of the ensmy's Gums, =
large number OF Rebel Bsttle-hags,
and 10000 Rebel Prisoners.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND REBELS KILLED
AND WOUNDED.

There are all sorts Of rumors in town to-day,
and among them is one that Hooker's army
was whipped and driven back across the Rap
pahannocli by the rebel Lee. There is not one
word of truth in this report. For sound mill
tary reasons, Gen. Hooker changed his base
yesterday; not in consequence of any demon
stration by, or fear of, the enemy, hut for rea-
sons which in due time will he made known.
A gentleman who left Gen. Hookcr's head
quarters last night and arrived here this morning
states that he was in the best Of spiritsi that he
had captured nine of the enemy's guns, large
number Of rebel battle flags and not less than
ten thousand prisoners, and had killed and
wounded at least fifteen thousand rebels.
Suffice It to say that Gen. Hooker has not
been rldpped during he late fire days batGlcs.
The worst treatment any of his men received
was on Saturday, when the enemy massed Its
strength against single corps, and We have
the authority Of a general who participated in
that fight that the German troops behaved as
well as men could under the circumstances.

SUMTER, q, screw gunboai.-OrdGrs have
been received in New York from the Navy De
partment 10 romplcte this vessel for service at
once, notwithstanding the report of her condl-
tion which had been forwarded by the authOri-
ties. She will he commanded 10y the same gen
tleman who recently brought her home.
SAN JACINTo, 5, sidc-whrcI stcrmcr.-During
the last two months most important expert
ment has been going on in this vessel, at the
Brooklyn navy yard, and to-day We are 10 have
an official account Of the results. For several
months considerable discus sion has been car
ried on relative to the merits of Martins boil
ers, which were almost exclusively used in the
navy, and many of the recent failures of steam
vessels have been attributed to their imperfcc-
tiOns.
One of them. and our English marine boiler,
have been undergoing a test on the San ia
CintO, under the criticism of the scientific board
Of officers. The chief Of the bureau of cngi-
ncering himself went on to witness the expert
mcnt, and nothing, since the great ordnance
dispute, has created so much interest in naval
circles.
CLIFTON, 4.-This vessel, which was pur-
chased from the Staten Island Ferry Company
by the Navy Department, was sent from the
Brooklyn yard to New York to have her hull
made in converting her into gunboat.
KAKOA.-PreparatiOn are being made to
commence this vessel, the only iron-clad of the
last thirteen given out, to be constructed in the
State of New York. Her hull will be laid in
Grecnpoint, Mr.. Merritt, for many years of
the Morgan Iron Works, constructing her. 1t
is expected that she will be ready for service
with her active fleet in six months.
ST. LAWRENCE, 30, sailing frigatc, has been
ordered home for repairs. She went in com
mission some years ago on the Virginia station
as flagship, and since that time, with very
little intermssiOn, has been performing active
service. During the war her operations have
been confined to the blockade fleet. As she
requires a crew of five hundred men, who would
be sufficient 10 man half dozen steamers, she
will probably be laid up for some time to come

General Grants Designs on VicLsburg--
Movement up the Big Black River,

Recent correspondence from Memphis to Il.
Missouri DCDocrut contains the following:
Our latest adviCes are only fOrty-cight hours
from Grants army, and II was not believed
thcr" that the enemy Is evacuating Vicksburg
Perhaps he ought to, by all rules Of stragetic
prOpriety; but, you know, he has abandoned
doing what he ought, and now only cvacuates
when he is obliged to.
1t is believed that Grant has already thrown
portion of his army into Grand GnlC; and
proposes moving up on the east bank of Biz
Black river, TO the Nicksburg and jackson
railroad. By doing this he will certainly COM
pei the enemy to come ont Of his Vicisburg
fortihCations. and fight him upon equal ground,
or to give up the position. OF course the mo-
ment Grant strikes and holds the jackson rail-
road at any point, Nickshurg becomes unten-
able, and the great problem is solved.
The danger seems to be in delay. week or
a month given the enemy in which to fOrtiry
the new route may completely change situation.

Tn. Improved Temper Of England.

The Improved Temper OF England.
A private letter from London, received in
New York and published In the Evening Post,
has hesubjoined paragraphs respecting recent
debate on American affairs in the British House
of Commons;
"LoNDoN, April %, 1868.
"MY pEARSRi heard the debate last night,
sitting by the side of your old friend B. The
change was most significant from the unlucky
debate of Friday, 2Tth March. 1t shows how
public opinion has grown. Give us another
month Of such progress and VIC are safe. The
great feature of the debate was, of course, Cob
den, whose speech was everything that could
be asked. lift had any fault, It was too much
in defence of the United States, but even this
did not bring out the 'coppcrheads Of the oppo-
sition, for 1t was a calm, well-argued speech Of
a statesman looking to British honor and Brit
ish interests in the long run, and not to any
petty temporary expedienCy.
when he sat down he had put on record
statement Of the course which we had always
taken on the enforcement of neutrality, and had
challenged any one to show a single dispatch
from any British administration complain
ing of our having failed to do our duty. The
Government were there-the members in their
seats-the rampant opposition ready for any
chance to attack. His statement, directed
against Laird, Lindsay and other law-breakCrs
who imperIl their country's peace for mcrc,
was admirable.

eulogy of decent man would have been. W.

He outdid the the rrepresshle Roebuck.
"Mr. Milne followed in a warm and cloquen
speech upon our side.
"TherC were snakes in the House, but tn,
whole tone of the House was agreed to he, by
all who were near us and all we have seen to
day, well disposed to back up the Governmcn
in the enforcement of the Enlistment law. II
short, We have recovered the ground lost in tn,
debate of 27th March. Keep calm at home

Fast Day in New Orleans was the occasion
of most disgraceful exhibitions In some of the
churches. Father Joubert, of st. Augustine's
Church, did not read the Proclamation, and he
also refused the sacrament to colored men in
the Union service. In St. Mary's Church the
Proclamation was read in English, the congre-
CATION being mostly French. There was to
have bedn a communion service, but 1t was
postponed at the request Of some ladies, who
feared 1t might bo mistaken for obedience
to Lincoln's request. The women In other
churches disgraced themselves by noisily going
out while the reading was in progress. At the
Church of the Immaculate Conception the con-
gregation acted very disgracefully, upsetting
stools, and making all sorts of noises as they
left the temple. There were only two or three
churches whore proper spirit was manifested.

THE NEWS AND GOLD IN NEW YORK

The news of the return of General Hooker to
The north side Of the Rappahanuock was an
nounced in New York this morning through
extras issued from the offices of the Herald,
Tribune, and Times. OF course, It was inter
preted as a disaster, and at the first brokers'
board gold wentup to IS, but upon sober second
thought the speculators concluded that things
were mighty unsartn" just now, and placed
little reliance upon the news, consequently
gold dropped down to 81 and remained there
at last accounts,
