afternoon for City Point with l65 rebel pris-
| oners. The steamship S. Il. Spaulding left
last night for Boston, with the 9th Massachu-
sets regiment, their time having expired.
The Richmond Enquirer OF the 10Th has the
following:
''GOLDsBoRo, May PA number of abo-
ltion prisoners arrived here this P. NJ from
Kinston, seven being the captain and crew of
the schooner Seabird, captured last Thurs
day, 20 miles below Wilkinson's Point, on the
Neuse, and 10 below Newbern, by six men of
captain Barringtons company of Milford'S

"RALEIGH, May 25.-The Raleigh Pro-
gress' Kinston correspondent, under date of
May oath, says that 5000 Yankees attacked
our force, consisting of three regiments, at
Gum Swamp and surprised and routed them.
We had several wounded, and from fifty to one
hundred taken prisoners. We took eight pris-
oners. Gen. Hill forced the enemy back to
within eight miles of Newbern. The colonel
commanding the Yankees is reported to be
killed. The enemy burned the court house
and other buildings at Trenot, Jones county,
Friday, and plundered the citizens as they
went. DR.. VIM. w. Meyers, assistant sur
geon of the United States army, now confined
in Libby prison, is held as hostage for DR..
Green OF Pittsylvania, who is in fort Norfolk as
a hostage for the infamous traitor, DIR. Reinke,
whose trial is now pending before the county
court of Botelourt. For two officers recently
murdered officially in Ohio, two officers of
equal rank, now in our hands, are to suffer,
through the operation of the len talionis This
intelligence has been conveyed to Col. Lud-
low, the Yankee commissioner, by commits
sioner Ould, with the additional assurance
that, hereafter, for all confederate soldiers or
citizens improperly held or executed, the law
of retaliation will be rigidly enforced"
A woman named Miss Hosier was taken at
Suffolk yesterday, and documents containing
plan of an the Notifications at Suffolk were
found in her possession, and letters to Gen.

Pierpont. The documents were prepared by
an attorney at Norfolk by the name of Stribs.

New YORK, May 2S.-The cargo of the
Great Eastern contains two hundred tons of
iron plates for the United States government.
The Washington Star says letter was re-
ceived there yesterday, stating that a large
rebel steamer, heavily loaded with cotton,
had been captured of Charleston.
The steamer America, from Greytown the
Goth, has arrived, and brings large number
of passengers from California. BY her we
have confirmation of the total defeat of the
revolutionary party in New Grenada, under
Jerez, by president Martinez. Jerez seems
to have won battle on the 28th, IN which
Martinez was slightly wounded. He then
marched to Leon, where he (Martinez) gained
a complete victory over Jerez, and twelve of
fcers were all OF Jerezs army who escaped
capture. Chamono, who held fort San Carlos
for Jerez, fledto Costa Rica The revolution
is thus entirely crushed.
PHILADELPHIA, May pa man calling
himself Charles q. Norton, was arrested to-
day, charged with forging drafs of f. lie
Grange Adams of Ohio, amounting to $50, 900,
and attempting to get them cashed by j..
Cooke, Riggs & Co., and the different banks
of Baltimore. On his person was found "A
genuine check formerly for $500, drawn by
Taylor Brothers of New York, on the Marine
bank in favor OF Lindsey, Chittick & Co. The
prisoner was formerly a clerk OF Harold,
Williams & Co., of this city.

From Washington.

BILLS FOR THE NEW BANKS.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-Mr. McCulloch,
comptroller of the currency, before he left for
the west, completed his arrangements for the
new currency, as well as for the details of or
ganization under the general banking law.
The invitation of the secretary of the treasury
has called out large number of designs from
the artistic talent of the country, the leading
competitors being the American, the National,
and the Continental bank note companies, OF
New York, and Messrs. Butler & Carpenter OF
Philadelphia. Of the fourteen designs re-
quired, nine were accepted from the Cont
tinental company, two from the American,
two from the National, and one from Butler
& Carpenter. These are for the ends of the
notes, the backs consisting OF engravings
from the great pictures in the rotunda OF the
capitol. The only work thus far awarded is
for the smaller denominations, the fves and
tens, as these are the first which the new bank
ing companies will need. The contract for
these is understood to be given to the Cont
mental company.
FROM THE RAPPAHANNoCK.
From the statements of gentlemen who have
just arrived from the Rappahannock, 1t seems
probable that the rebels have greatly reduced
their strength, and are maintaining mere
shell in front of our lines. If this were posi-
lively known to the military authorities, 1t is
probable that our forces would not much long
er remain Inactive. 1t is represented that in
consequence of information having been re-
celved by citizens of Falmouth, which was not
obtained through legitimate channels in rela-
ton to affairs in the enemy's lines, and which.

CITY AND COUNTY.

ORGANIZATION OF THE WORCESTER STATE
GUARD.-By recent act of the legislature the
citizens of the different cities ana towns in the
state, forty five years of age and upwards, are
authorized to form themselves into volunteer
companies for military service in the state, to
be organized and do duty as may be deemed nee
essary by the cOmmanderin-chef.
In accordance with the provisions of this act
such company has been organized in this city
by authority of Governor Andrew. The call was
issued on Wednesday for meeting of the MEM
beers at City Hall, Thursday afternoon, at which
meeting Mayor Lincoln presided. After the
preliminary exercises Mr. Healey Baker was
chosen secretary. The company was then or
ganized by the unanimous choice of the follow
ing persons as officers:-
Cdptdin-lvERs PHILLIPS.
First LieuteHdnt-DANA Ii. FITCH.
Second Liehenant-JoHN r. GREEN.
Short and appropriate speeches were made by
each of these gentlemen, accepting the positions
to which they were elected, and mayor Lincoln
also took occasion TO make some excellent re-
marks, complimentary to the company, and ex-
pressing qualification that it had been so prompt
ly organized, and said he should do all in his
power to aid and sustain it.
This organization is entirely independent of
the Home Guard, although many of the mem
bSrs of that company are connected with the
new State Guard.

among the prisoners recently exchanged. He is

refused to take the rebel oath of allegiance, has
been imprisoned until within a few days past.
