FROM THE FRONT.
The Excitement about Stuart's Raid
subsidized 80 Capture of Rebels -.
West Virginia News - Reports
from New Orleans.

.nra 1s . NEW YORK, March 20.
The Washington correspondent of the
Times says the excitement about the
threatened raid by Stuart has subsidized.
A detachment of the enemy crossed the
Rappahannock at fredericksburg Wed
nesday night, and the following day
Col Bryan of the 18th Pennsylvania
cavalry captured twenty of them. Fri
day morning, a detachment of the enc
my crossed at Morton's Ford and drove
in the It'll Mich. pickets, but were subse-
quently repulse0 and forced to recross
the river. The second corps discharged
all their pieces Saturday forenoon. Per-
haps this may account for the report Of
firing being heard at Dunfries.
There are other indications of rebel
demonstrations not proper to write at
this time.
Stuart is massing cavalry at Char
lottesville where he has three brigades,
and at fredericksburg, where he has two.
The report that the enemy had effected
a crossing at Racoon Ford is not cor
rect. The 1st Michigan veteran cavalry
1900 strong, went to the front Saturday.
Twelve deserters from the 10th louisa :
ma have arrived within our lines within
three days--the first from that regiment,
They had got hold of the Presidents

The Heralds West Virginia dispatch
of the 18th says, all quiet in the Shenan-
doah valley. There are no movements of
the enemy of serious character The
10 inf
valley don't con firm the rumor that the
enemy's force is moving on Barbours-
vile. There is no positive indication
that the enemy cOntemplates an extern
sive raid ON the Kanawha region. Still
the truth is that the enemy are pIepar-
ing in the Ileighborhood of New River
for an as vet unknown movement.
The Heralds New Orleans letter of the
18th says, Col. Tevis, with the Sd Mary
land Cavalry, arrived from jacksonville
They had secuted from jacksonville
nearly all the country between the Tang
ipaho and Pearl rivers. The 9th and 10th
battalion of Lou. cavalry were driv-
en- from the Chappapalia River. A num-
Der of them were ctSarrttnred as also were
some of the bloodhounds with which they
had been hunting conscripts. Thirty
negroes captured by rebels from plan
tation near Fl. Pike were retaken. On the
9th there was not an armed rebel within
sixty miles Of jacksonville except pos
sibly few stragglers.
A number of rebel soldiers paroled at
Vicksburg and Port Hudson, were en-
deavoring to escape the rebel cOnscrip-
ton, were brought in. Large quaint
ties of cattle were discovered in the
country through which our forces tray
eled, but could not be removed for lack
of transportation. The sentiment of the
people was Enthusiastically Union. A por-
ton Of the Sd Maryland consists of four
hundred formerly rebel soldiers from
Fort Delaware, who took the oath of
allegiance and enlisted. There has been
no deserters from it in the face of the
enemy. The cavalry marched 140 miles
before returning here by steamer from
Madisonville.

Message of Gov. Brown, of Ga.

NEW 0Rk, haTCn II.
From rebel papers we extract part
OF the Message of Gov. Brown, of Geor-
gia:-
The Message of Gov. Brown, of Geor-
gia, says The late action of Congress
has shaken the confidence of the people
In their justice or competency. In our
financial affairs the compulsory funding
of $700,O00,O00 in forty days, at less
rate of interest than that pledged for
full notes, resembles reputation and
bad pay. The discussion of important
measures in secret sessions, is declared
a blighting curse, convenient for can
vassing, but will not bear the light. He
declares the new military bill unconsti-
tutional, and says the CONSUMPTION of
citizens will not fill the army, but they
will stay at home on details, thus de-
priving the State of her active militia,
and placing civil rights subordinate to
the military power. The suspension of
the writ of habeas corpus, under pretended
necessity, confers on the President pow
ers denied by the Constitution, which
limited the power of Congress to suspend
the action Of the writ only in an implied
and limited way by expressed declara-
tons in favor of personal liberty the
Congress cannot confer judicial power
on the Executive, and that warrants
issued by the President are plain viola
tons, and if this act is acquiesced in,
the President may imprison whom he
chooses--it being only necessary to al
lege reasonable efforts and no Court
dare investigate the case. The Legisla-
ture is earnestly recommended to take
prompt action to stamp the act with the
seal of their indignant rebuke
