Richmond papers of the 10th contain q
long reply made by a select committee, 70
the accusations of Mr.. DAVIS, in which his
Senators charge that It was he who was
guilty Of hardness, ineficiency and want
Of decision. They say that with very few
exceptions every law that he suggested
was speedily enacted, and all that he asked
was readily granted, that on matters with
which he charges neglect to them, he has
failed to give them the information re-
quested, snd which was necessary to enable
them to act inteIligently.
Mr.. Hunter publishes card TO let peo-
pie know that he is still opposed TO re-
construction of the Union.
One of the TTi6ta1ss correspondents
AYERS, upon what ne deems to be the best
uthority, that Richmond is now being
evacuated as fast as possible, and that in q
few days it will be occupied by Union
troops without battle.
The T1-iblsse's Washington special says
it Is believed by military men there that
the rebels will evseuste Raleigh, and make
their stand at Dsnville, if they fight at all
south of Richmond.
The World special says that Grant told
Hon. s. S. Cox that he believed Lee de-
sired to eVacuate Richmond, but did not
think it could be done. It is very doubt
full whether Lee could so much as begin q
movement without Grants knowledge, and
once known our armies would Immediately
move

There is less excitement in gold, opera
tors appearing indisposed to make any
large ventures for either q rise or fall
The military probabilities are against bull
operations, and the recent decline has been
SO severe as to discourage combinations for
a further fall. The price has been fuctu-
ating between 157 and l55.
The Commercials money article says the
panic in the Stock market continues, and
the market is overborne by sellers and the
prices are still falling heavily. The decline
in Governments brought orders from other
cities aud they rallied rapidly, showing an
advance Of 15(92 on per cent. securities
and II on per cents. After Board the
demand slsckened and prices were lower
Principal Railroad stocks showed heavy

Owners would not duplicate goods at these
low prices. To-day, choice American de-
LANES which were held recently at 38, sold
largely at 234c. FlAnnels and wooden
goods are greatly depressed. Foreign goods

mand, must advance. This morning prices
slightly lower, except in bleached goods,
which are firm.

The Richmond Examiner, of Tuesday,
contains the following:
Yesterday the following dispatch was re-
eelved, announcing a brilliant victory in
the vicinity of Raleigh:
HEADQUARTERS ARMIES CONFEDERATE
STATES, March 2O-To Hon. John C.
Breckenridge, Secretary of Var: General
j. E. Johnston reports that about o'clock
p. NJ, on the 10Th, he attacked the enemy
near Bentonville, routed him, and cap
tured three guns. A mile in the rear he
rallied on fresh troops, but was forced back
slowly until P. NJ, when receiving more
troops he apparently assumed the offensive
which was resisted without difficulty until
dark. This morning heis intrenched. Our
loss is small. The troops behaved sdmira-
bly, well. Dense thickets prevented active
operations. On the 11th Stanton an
nounced that Sherman WAS doing finely.
His army was at Fayetteville, quietly rest
ing preparatory to another advance north
ward. II seems he did advance, but not
far. This successful attack by Joe John
ston gives earnest hope that the redoubta-
BILE Sherman has at length met his match.

The Commercials Washington special
says: Richmond papers just received con-
tain nothing confrmatory of the reported
check to Sherman. There is q scarcely
concealed hopelessness in the tone of the
Richmond press, that sugurs for Sherman.
So far the best informed military authori-
ties here, regard Sherman's position as en-
inently hopeful He is approaching point
where the rebels must fight if they intend
to hold Richmond, or prevent the easy
completion of Grants plans.
The Navy Department has details of an
expedition up Msttox Creek, Virginia, by
which quantity of tobacco, guns and am
munition was captured, and three rebel
schooners destroyed. The work was done
by boats crews, all but two of whom were
colored men. They had a sharp fight with
the rebels, who outnumbered them two to

NEW YORK, March, 23.
The steamer Varuns, from Beaufort, N
G., the 10th, has arrived here. She brings
important intelligence.
The news of the capture Of Goldsboro
was received in the city soon after the VIC
tory, by dispatches from Sherman, who, it
was reported, called for reinforcements for
his army during their further march north
ward.
Z Immense numbers Of troops were prompt
II sent in response from Beaufort by rail
and other roads, to Goldsboro, prepsrsto-
~ to meeting the main army Of Sherman
It was believed that battle was immi-
nent and hence General Sherman's army
was swelled to an overwhelming force, the
extent of which may lead to a general re-
treat or surrender of the enemy. Rein
forcements and supplies had also been sent
from Newbern to join Shermsn's army.
Refugees at Beaufort sRd Morehead de-
clare inst the rebel troops are demorslized,
and their supplies are beginning to fail It
is also reported that part Of Lees army
had gone to reinforce General Johnston,
and that his main force was about hvs
miles North of Raleigh.

NMYoRK. Mnrch 2.

The rebel Congress, before taking its
recent hasty leave of Richmond, and after
refusing to adopt any of the measures urged
by Davis as requisite to save the rebel
cause, issued an address to the Southern
people. It begins by saying they cannot
have peace except BY the sacrifice of inde-
pendence and property-thst confscstion
and determination are the only terms they
can get. 1t refers to what it regards as the
evils of reunion, and makes an appeal TO
Southern manhood. It gives colored
view of the resources of the South, and
calls upon the people to driveinto the ranks
again absentees and skulkers. It coDgrat-
ulates the country upon the appoint
ment of Lee as General-in-ehief, and spolo-
gizes for the heavy burden of taxation they
have been obliged to impose. The believe
the people of the United States have be-
come tired of the war, and ssy they can st
any time have peace by abandoning the
wicked attempt at subjugstion.
They recite again their grievances under
the old government and call upon ths
people 70 emulate the example Of the
RussIens when Napoleon invaded
their territory. They wind up with q
stirring appeal, saying success is within
their reach, that the battle Is not to be
strong, and the shades of their msrtyred
heroes hover over and beckon them on.

The steamer Parthenis arrived here to-
day from Newbern with mails and dis
psthes.
General Schofeld's army had moved
from Kinston, North Carolina, with view,
it was thought of joining Terry and Sher-
man, near Goldsboro, where, according to
latest advices, the rebels were assembled in
strong force, under Bragg and Johnston,
with the intention of giving battle and
making desperate resistance before sur
rendering the town.
Affairs in and around Kinston were
comparatively quiet.
Some of,,the inhabitants have admitted
that Bragg was badly beaten on Friday,
the 10Th inst, the day he attacked Scho-
fields forces. But others deny it. They
generally think that the sudden evacuation
Of the town was caused by orders received
Bragg from his superiors.

The Commercials Washington special
says that the War Department is reported
to have received dispatch from Fort
Monroe that Sherman had arrived before
the deienses of Raleigh Saturday morning,
and had planted his guns in a position
commanding the city. He sent in a SUM-
mons to General Johnston to surrender.
The result is not given.
The statement that Sheridan is on q
f esh raid is not true.
1t is rumored on the streets that Sher-
man fought battle with Johnston, near
Raleigh, and defeated him. Gold fell to
l5I in consequences.

with railroad depot and other
buildings. Wagons, smbulanc ces, artillery,

army, was captured and destroyed along
the road leading through Rockhsh Gap.
The wagons were all loaded with army
supplies--principslly provisions. The

Generals in the battle on the rebel side.
Wharton escaped in the cars, Early to the

The Skirmfsh ut ErederieR'S Hail.
The Chase after EaEIy.
The correspondent of the New York
Times, with Sheridan, writing on the l4th
inst, has the following description of the
skirmish near Fredericks Hall:
But q few miles had been made on the
road leading to Mound Squirrel Bridge
over the South Anna, before fresh tracks
were seen on the road, and Immediately
afGerward negroes and white troops gave US
the information that Gen. Early with about
250 men, was less than an hours ride in
front. Lieutenant Colonel Whitaker, with
detschments from the First Connecticut
and Second Ohio were started in pursuit
ut gallop. LESS than two miles had been
made before Esrly's strsgglers commenced
coming in, and at the end of about four
miles, Colonel Whitaker wss within q
few rods OF General Early. The enemy,
beieg closely pressed, scattered in every
direction. Captain Benton, of the best
horse, was in the advance on one road.
His horse was shot, and fell, fastening him
by the leg to the ground. Several
rebel officers rode up 10 him from the
woods and asked several questions, when
one turned and asked companion,
HShall shoot him, General 2"
"No," responded the General Early, 'Do
not take life unnecessarily" Just at this
moment some of our cavalry came within
hearing, and the enemy fed, leaving Bur-
ton confined under the horse where he re-
mained until relieved by some of his own
Before reaching Mound Squirrel Bridge,
Early and his entire party had dispersed
to the woods, going in different directions,
but still closely pursued by our men. Most
of the fugitives forded the South Anna at
q place in other times deemed impractical
BILE; but liberty is sweet, and the only hope
of escape was by crossing this stream. On
ward the different detacnments sped. Our
men were within few hundred yards,
when Early aGd few of his companions
crossed the river Captain Hazlets, of the
Ist Vermont Cavalry, was in the advance.
Early's party across the river was again
divided and dispersed, Early this time on
ly taking an orderly with him into the
woods. This re-division of his company
saved him from capture.
The direction pursued by enc squad led to
the capture of two of our own scouts on 3
secret expedition; another party overlook
Esrly's Adjutant General, a msn named
Moore, whom they captured. Several 9TH
sr struggling members of the party were
picked up, but Early, favored by the dark
ness Of the night, escaped.

The New York Times the has following in
regard to the attempted escape of the rebel
spy and incendiary, Kennedy, who is SEN
fenced to be hung tomorrow:
On Sunday night the officer of the day
detected Kennedy in an attempt at escape.
He had, after bending straight his red-hot
poker, made a number of holes about the
latch of the door which leads into the pa
rsde ground. It is supposed that his plan
was to remove the lock, open the door, and
confront the sentry who PAGES up and down
before it. With his poker he could easily
kill him, and, as the meat house shuts out
the view from the guard house, he could
have donned the soldiers outer clothing,
and taken his chance a. escape The risk
would even then bo great, as be would be
compelled to pass the guard house filled
with soldiers, Opan the sale ports, elude
the vigilance of two outside sentries and
plunge into rapid current Of icy water.
OF course, he was willing to take all the
chances, but he was caught in the act and
prevented.

This cslsmity-the greatest point of pc
cuniary loss that ever belel our city-hcd
been foretold Thirty years ago the pro-
cess of contraction of the river bed COM
menced. Buildings were then, and have
been since, constructed farther into the
river bed, and walls of stone were laid up
on either side, and man presumed;;to say to
the Geneseee, "Thus far shalt thou come
and no farther" The waters, curbed for a
time, have more than once threatened to
bust the bands that held them, but not till
the morning of the ever to be remembered
18th Of March. 1863, did they show to the
power that so long held them how power
less indeed it was when the waters came in
their majesty to assert their right. One of
our venerable pioneers who had watched
the flow of the river for nearly half q cen
tury remarked on Saturday, "The Genesee
has now asserted its rights p This calsm-
ity was foretold June Goth, 1850, by Ly-
