The REBELS REPCLsEp WITH SEVERE


NEWBERN, y. T., Aprll Il.
The Rebels have abandoned their attack
on Washington n. G., giving it up as hope
less task. The fortitudc and plucky persc-
verance with which General Foster and his
little band of twelve hundred men held out
successfully and kept at bay for many days
and nights, seventeen thousand OF the enemy
constitute an achievement without parallel
in the history of the war, and one which has
cndcarcd this popular and victorious leader
still more strongly to his command.
Gen. lieCkman's brigade, which arrived
here from Port Royal, with the rest of Gen.
Fosters troops still at that place, are so anX-
ious to return to this department that they
offer to re-cnlist for the war if they can be
allowed to return to the old North State and
fight under their old commander.
An order was promulgated on the 18th
inst, b. Gen. Foster ordering all the rebel
sympathizers and government paupers out
side of our lines.
General Naglce and staff arrived here from
New York last Tuesday, and left the next
day at the head of an expedition in pursuit
of the enemy. The return of this gallant
and distinguished hero was the occasion OF
fattcring ovation. After a successful
operation against the rebels he returned this
Gay 10 TINS place with the commander OF the
department.
Rebel descrters are coming in daily. They
confirm the reports of disaiieCtion and star
vation in the rebel army.
New YonH, April 25.-A letter from New
bern contains the following: Gen. Foster
left Newbern on the 18th, with a large force
to relieve Washington, and drive the enemy
from that place. Gen. Nagice commanded
the advance, consisting of Heckman's anC
the Sd New York cavalry, with ligh
howitzer. They overlook the rear guard o
the enemy on the road leading west from
near the mouth of Blount's creek.
At Chicowinith creek, about six miles from
Washington, the enemy made stand, hu
Gen. Naglee, with his staff and cavalry
drove the enemy precipitately from behinC
his works, capturing Il number OF prisoners
| including the Colonel of the End Georgi,

the enemy were compelled to break anC

most outrageous cases of rebel barbarity
which the history of the war furnishes
Having previously spoken of scout of five
or six days in which his brigade had par
ticipated, he says
while We were out on this last trip I
dressed tho wounds OF a soldier (Seycnty-
second lndiana) who had been taken pris
oner with a comrade. After tieiur them
both up TO tree with their hands behind
them, captain deliberately shot them
both-killing the other man on the SPOT.
After shooting the one | saw once through
the face and ouce through the neck, so flat
] cut the ball out Just below the bend OF
the jaw on the opposite side, untieinp him.
they still found he bad life in him, when
the iend shot him again in the lack of the
head while he lay writhing on the ground,
the ball entering just at the base of the car
and coming out at the left eye, completely
destroying it.
And yet with all these wounds. in the
head, neck and face, that man got up and
wandered around until he came across our
brigade aud so fell Into my hands.
General Stanley's cavalry, which were
out with US had taken lot of prisoners,
and as soon AS General Stanley heard of
the outrage-he sent word to me to have the
wounded man brought up to his headquar-
ters; the next morning he had him placed
on the porch aud compelled all these pri-
sonerS 10 come up and confront him sepa-
rately, telling him that ifhe could recognise
any one as among the miscreauts who had
wounded him, there would be another
shooting match on the other side of tho
house. But the wounded man shook his
head and said there were none of his
prosecutors among the lot. sent him to

WASHINGTON, April 21.-i'hc dispatches
received by the President from Maior-Gcn
eral Grant and Adjutant- General Thomas,
are dated before Nicksburg, April 80. They
announce that on the evening before, six
gun-hoats and twelve bargcs had passed the
Nicksburg and Warrcnton batteries, which
opened with n terrific fire upon the vessels.
Buildings in Nicksburg which We're prepar-
ed for the occasion, were fred to light up
the river aud enable the Rebel gunncrs to
see the boats.
Over five hundred shots were discharged
at the feet. None OF the harges were hit,
and only one steamer was injured badly
enough to cause her to he abandoned She
t1oated three miles below Warrenton, when
she gLounded, but all hands on board o. her
were saved.
Another steamer was somewhat injured,
but She can be easily repaired. To the credit
of the troops be il said that, when some OF
the crews of the boats refused to take their
chances in making the fearful trip, the form
cr, belonging to the Illinois regiments, vol
unteered to do the bOatman's work, the
crews having been left behind.
The second splendid success of throwing
a great land and naval force below Vicks-
burg, completely 1anking the Rebel position
was accomplished with the loss OF only two
men mortally wounded, and few more, not
exceeding ten, severelg and slightly wound
ed.
The pilots were made the targets of the
Rebel sharp-shooters who lined the shore,
and III order TO prevent being splintered in
case they were wounded, had their pilot
houses removed, and exposed themselves to
the enemy.
General Grant telegraphs to the President
that he considers this movement in view OF
ITS importance, the terrible tire to which the
| boats were exposed, and the slight loss OF
property and men, magnificent SUCCESS.

OF the sseamer Mississippi, Who was taken
prisoner al Port Hudson, that our fleet did
great damage to the batteries of that place.
lie was not enabled to ascertain the total
number of the killed and wounded, but it
was evidently very great. In one battery
alone he learned there were twenty five Re
bels killed.
"Our fleet drove the enemy from his guns
several times by the rapid and accurate fir
ing of grape and canister; and he learned
from an old shipmate, who had formerly been
in the navy, that one of the lower batteries
was spiked and there is no doubt that the
others would have followed the example if
the engagement had lasted much longer.
''Ile says two of the rebel officers he saw
were formerly in our navy, and they compll-
mented our gunners in the highest terms
They could hardly be made to believe that
it was nothing more than fleet of ordinary
wooden vessels which were firing upon the
batteries. The Rebel gun-boat Webb was
completely destroyed during the fight"

Dispatches from General Mcneil, at Cape

He has two gunboats ready for any emer-

in his ability to whip the enemy, and pursue
them in case of retreat.
No apprehension need be felt for the safety

No mention is made of the loss on either

THE ARKANSAS REFUGEES IL BATTLE
SPRINGFTELD, Mo, April ]

SPRNGFIELD, Mo, April 10.
We have just received the particulars of
the fight at Fayetteville. Some three or
four thousand rebels, under the command of
General Cabell, constituted the attacking
party The force stationed at Fayetteville,
consisted of two regiments of Arkansas
tugitiyes, recently enlisted, one of them not
yet armed. They fought like heroes. Those
who had no arms used clubs aud stones. and
bowie knives, and whatever else they could
get, in our hand-to-hand encounter and
repulsed the enemy with severe loss.
There has, perhaps, been no fight during
this war in which there was shown ION a
small scale, to be sure) more determined
valor than was exhibited by those Arkansas
refugees upon this occasion. They fight as
men who have suffered much and who feel
deeply. "TheyW do to tic to-"
