and capture tie two companies Of Rebel Cavalry

Gen. Washburn's command proceeded on the nigh,
Of the ID inst, through most terrific storm OF rain
and without q murmur, to point near La Grange.
Tho 5th kaness and lat Indiana regiments soon
fonnd the loestion Of the enemy's camp, and soon
came into their pickets whom they dashed upon AT
daylight, aud all went into camp together. Oui

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. II, 1863.
We are IL the midst Of a new sensation. For
two days past this neghborhood has enjoyed an
ceme a! not before experienced since the evacuation
Of mo place by tho Rebels, and its occupation by
cur forces. There has really been an anticipation Of
IN attack upon cur troops by Pryor, or some other
Confederate commander and for two nights timid
people have been nervous and oar authorities vigil
LIANT at all ponts to meet aud repol any demonstra
ton from the Rebels, from what quarter soeyer.
How we have all managed TO become 30 thoroughly

Wholesome reason for the which seems to eI-
let, but fail TO find any substantial grounds for
fear Vigilance, however, is commendabo under
all circumstances, and il is well to be prepared for
any consequences. We are living with people at
once hostile ard treacher0us, aud II behOOy
thoritIes to guard against surprise. Foes bose the

The Secessionists Of Norfolk, who have been

to them have been entirely thrown away. They
prove to be wicked and perverse generation, inca

the usually quiet waters Of ,he bay to become white

For the last two weeks ships have been quietly
gathering al this point, heavily laden with stores
and materel of war for the Banks Expedition. Their
numbers increased daily till respectable fleet was
assembled, Of which the larger part sailed before
the storm commenced and probably felt its effects at
sea. This afternoon being sunny and pleasant. the
remainder Of the feet put 10 sea, and Hampton
Roads once more seems deserted and solitary. The
transport ship Monticello, which sailed this after
noon carried ont $50 ooDvalescent soldiers from the
Chesapeake Hospital under command Of Lieut.. Col.
j. W. Locke. These men manifested commend
able spirit OF zeal TO rejon their regiment, which is
quite refreshing in these times.

CAIRO, April 29.-The Memphis Bulletin,
which has resumed publication under a close
censorship, states that the federals occupy
Tuscumbia. The attack was made on the
place last night, and after a stout resistance
the rebels were driven out.
MURFREEsBoRo, April 29.-At noon to-day
small force of rebel cavalry appeared on the
Manchester Pike, and tile videttes gave the
alarm, saying the enemy was advancing. Gen.
Negley met several citizens, residents near
the outposts, moving in. 1t is thought gem
orally that the rebel demonstration yesterday,
was made for the purpose of forcing Rose
Grams to concentrate his lines, thus leaving
Van Dorm and Wheeler at liberty to act on
his TANKS with their cavalry; also to enable
them with the force north of Duck river to
defeat any attempt that might be made similar
to the one on McNlinnville. At present all
the efforts of the rebel cavalry on our tanks
are futile

REBEL CHAeR1N.-A correspondent of the

REBEL CHAGRIN.-A correspondent of the
New York Tribune writes as follows -
'The confederates at Vicksburg are said to
have been exceedingly chagrined and irate at
the success of the blockade runners last
Thursday night, and on the following morn
ing they had sunk all the transports, three or
four OF the gunboats, and had destroyed at
least 400 or 500 Yankees. One of the jour
mails in the city made some such statements,
but soon after partially corrected the error,
and said the Henry Clay was the only vessel
lost, After publishing the article, it reflected
severely upon the artillerists, declaring that
they were either asleep, intoxicated, or alb
sent from their posts, and demanding that
they be dismissed in disgrace from the service
for allowing dozen Yankee ships to run by
the batteries and escape with the loss Of only
one. The artillerists were inceused against
the editor and it is reported he has been chal-
lenged by half dozen of the ''chivalry"
wearing red trimmings to their uniforms.
Public opinion, however, in the town has set
against them, and they are SO deeply under a
cloud that they have begun to quarrel among
themselves, and any number of duels and
street fights are expected from the peculiar
imbroglo."
