New YORK, April l8.-A Hilton Head let
ter contains the following items:
detachment of troops was left on Folly
island to cooperate with the feet in Stone
inlet and prevent the construction of new
rebel batteries. Similar forces were left at
Edisto inlet for a like purpose.
The old ship-ot-the-line Vermont is rapidly
decaying. Many of her timbers are quite
rotten.
Capt. Worden is obliged to return north
from ill health. Commander Fairfax now
commands the Montauk. The turrets and
hulls Of the monitors are unscathed. In no
instance is the armor perforated. The sum
total of the injuries was the simple Kidding
of the smoke stacks The fleet, with this ex-
cepton, is ready for active service.
DeserterS from Savannah state that Fort
Sumter was preached in several places, and
that many of the rebel gunners were put ho1,s
du combat. At one time Gen. Ripley tele-
graphed that there was q possibility of our
fleet forcing the distractions. This created
panic in Charleston, and all the citizens and
many of the soldiers ran away from the CITY,
beyond range of Yankee shell. During the
engagement the rebel forces were under arms,
and anxiousy watching the points from which
they expected the Union troops to emorge.
There are said to have be9n 10000 rebels on
James Island alone, and twenty-five rebel
earth Notifications on James, John, and Nor
ris Islands

THE FIGHT on THE NANsEMoyp.

THE FIGHT on THE NANsEMoND.
WASHINGTON, April lS.-The steamer Bal
timore arrived at the navy yard this morning,
from fort Monroe, bringing further particulars
of the affair on the Nansemond. The Mount
Washington was towed to Newport News,
where she will be repaired. She received
two shots in her boiler, and several struck her
engines, damaging them considerably. Her
wood work is pierced through and through.
One of the Minnesota's seamen, temporarily
on the Mount Washington, was killed. bnt
none OF the men belonging to her were iniur-
ed SO as to keep them from duty, although
many were struck by flying spnters, and
slightly hurt. The pilot of the steamer Step
ping Stone lost one Of his legs. The gunboats
in the Nansemond have received reinforce.
ment of gunboats from the Potomac fotilla.
in order to keep the Nansemond clear of rebel
batteries.
Official information has been received of the
capture, Friday, of the chief of staff of the
rebel general French on the Nansemond river,
by lieutenant commanding Gushing, of the
Commodore Barney.
VARIOUS MATTERS.
Report says, Robert j. Walker has gone to
Europe on official business for the govern
ment in connection with extensive public
loans. Harvey Sherman, one of Col Bakers
detectives, has been captured near Drains
vile by Mosby's rebel guerrillas. Report
says he was hung.
Gen. Ypsilano, a distinguished Greek cav
airy officer has arrived to tender his services
to the government. He brings recommen-
datory letter from Mr.. Adams.
Col. Ambrose Thompson of New York, in
spector OF the army of the Potomac, at head
quarters, has been relieved from duty with
Gen. Hooker, and placed in command of the
important post Of Aqua creek, Va. All the
civilians lately released from southern prisons
and sent north on their parole, have been ex-
changed.
1t is understood that the case of the priz e
steamer Peterhoff is to be left to the jurisdic-
ton of the court now having it in charge,
without interference from Washington.
1t may not be generally known that Gen.
Shields was several weeks ago ordered to re-
port to Gen. Wright for service in the de-
partment of the Pacific.
Gov Johnson having nearly completed the
official business which brought him hither,
will soon return to Tennessee.

sent adiutant general Thomas to the lower
Mississippi valley to encourage and facilitate
the organization of black regiments. He de-
veloped his plan at length before the troops
concentrated at Lake Providence, La, few
days since, making the surperiuous confess
sion that she was southern man, born with
southern prejudices," but declaring that the
policy of employing and arming black men
for military service was a settled one, and
that he endorsed it with all his heart. His
purpose is to raise twenty regiments, if posi-
Bile, to be differed from the army now in ac-

them for its service.

THE WAR IN VIRGINIA.
REBEL AND OTHER REPORTS.

New YORK, April ia Fredericksburg
letter of the 18th, to the Richmond Wing, re-
ports "a fight at Kelley's ford, twenty-five
miles above Fredericksburg, that day. The
cannonading was heard distinctly at intervals.
The statement is that G000 federal cavalry of
Stoneman's corps made an effort to cross,
supported by a considerable body OF infantry.
They had not succeeded. Tonight report
says the federals have been massing troops in
the vicinity of United States ford for several
days; and yesterday and to-day considerable
bodies of cavalry and immense wagon trains
are moving up the river"
The New y DIRK Herald dispatch of April Is
from the army of the Potomac says "A
large force Of the rebels has collected in the
vicinity Of the tords of the Rappahannock, al
though no attempt has been made to cross.
Forty-three exchanged rebel prisoners were
sent across the river to-day by flag of truce.
Suffolk letters report that our forces hold
Nansemond river for sixteen miles, and have
defeated every attempt of the rebels to get in
our rear. The rebels expect to bring against
us, including reinforcements from Gen. Hill,
some 10000 men. The delay of the enemy
in making an attack is as good as a reinforce
ment to us of 10000 men. Gen. Longstreet
has expressed his opinion that Suffolk is too
well fortified to be taken with his present
force, or to risk a direct assault upon our
works.
A Norfolk letter expresses the opinion that
there will be no great battle at Suffolk. We
outnumber the enemy there and have the ad-
vantage Of strong entrenchmenls. Unless
Gen. Peck takes the initiative and advances
on the enemy, l am confident there will be
no battle.

in two places by fall from his horse in the

The Army or enc Potomnc.

Last Saturday morning the New York Tri-
bune published dispatch from Washington,
stating that "A cavalry force from Gen. Hook
ers army had taken possession of Culpeppcr
and Gordonsville. This is important news, if
it is true, for the occupation of Gordonsylle
by our troops would cut of railroad COM
municaton between Richmond and Tennes-
see; and followed up by the main por-
ton of GEL. Rockers army, the rebel position
at Fredericksburg would be ianked. Such
movement would have important results
But the announcement of the Tribune's re-
porter is not confirmed; and another report
from Washington states that ''there is moth
ing authentic" to support it. The announce
ment was based on rumors which might or
might not be true; and the silence in regard to
this matter Of all the dispatches from Wash
ington since Saturday afternoon leaves us to
inter that "authentic information" is not yet
ready for the telegraph.
Some of the New York and Philadelphia
newspapers have stated the fact that General
Hooker's army is in motion. This is true,
and the rebels undoubtedly became aware of
it last week. The dispatches from Richmond
show that they were on the alert, though it is
evident that they had not discovered what was
intended on our side. 1t is known that very
large force of cavalry, with half dozen
batteries, started on Tuesday of last
week on an important expedition, and
that most of the army was under
marching orders. The heavy rain inter
fered with the movement and probably de
layed it ittle but it will be heard from be-
fore the present week closes. 1t may bC
Hooker's intention to occupy Gordonsvillt
and operate with part of his army in the di
rection of East Tennessee. Burnside in Ken
lucky seems to be moving in that direction
and with our troops at Gordonsville, the
rebels in East Tennessee could get no rein
forcements from Richmond. They would b.
compelled to turn for help to Bragg's army
which is not likely TO go there without re
ceiving proper attention from Rosecrans.
Hooker's army is now large and in splendi,
condition. 1t has a powerful force of cavalr,
and no lack of artillery. We may feel SUR
that it moves to victory, and that, under it
present leader, it will move boldly and secur,
all the fruits Of whatever victory it wins.

HE HoOsAC TUNNEL.-The advocates of
the speedy construction of the Troy and
Greenfield railroad and Hoosac tunnel have
cause to be gratifed with the decisive vote
by which the bill passed the house on Fri
day last. There is no reason to doubt
that the senate will show the same favor to
the project, and that another week will see a
plan definitely settled for completing this
great public work. The bill has been amend
ed in its details, extending the purposes for
which the governor is authorized to draw
money for the work to the provisions of for
mer unrepealed acts on the same subject,
and prescribing the form in which new scrip
shall be issued. During the past fortnight
laborious efforts have been made to excite
outside influence against it, and petitions,
more particular in number and variety than
IN the number OF their signatures, have poured
into the legislature, asking that the entire
work may be abandoned, or at least DELAYED.
We have no doubt, however, that if the ques-
ton was submitted to the popular vote, the
expression in favor of at once CARRYING on the
enterprise, under wise and prudent manage
ment, would be as decisive as it was in
the house Of representatives last week.
