From Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Robert Webb,
of New York, late the general passenger
agent at the Baltimore & Ohio railroad sta
tion, has been summoned as witness in the

name has been improperly associated with
the parties accused of the offense.

New YORK, March 26.-The steamship
America, from Bremen via Southampton
the 10th, arrived tonight.
In the House of Commons on the 18th,
the Chancellor of the EXchequer stated
that he will make financial statement
April 27. Mr.. Fitzgerald called attention
to Col. Jervis' report of Canadian defenses.
He disclaimed any intention of attributing
to the Federals or to the people generally
spirit of hostility towards England. We
should not disregard certain proposal
during the conference between the Confed-
crates and Federals. 1t was important to
look to Canadian defenses in the event of
war, and we ought to come to an Inn
mediate understanding with Canada
as to the proportion England should
bear of the cost of its means OF Defense
Forster believed that the fear of hostilities
was.unreasonable and utterly groundless,
and protested against expense for the de-
fense of Canada. Cardwell assured the
House that our relations with America con-
tinued perfectly friendly, but Government
was prepared to defend Canada DIsraeli
thought Canada should be properly Defend
ed. Lowe said the most effectual course in
the event of Canada becoming battle
ground, would be to concentrate q force
upon some other point. Wehad better let
Canada know the truth, and not buoy her up
with false expectations while we provoked
America with standing menace. The
wisest course would be to withdraw all
troops at once. Watkins said, to prevent
war England should declare Canada part of
the British empire and defend it.. Bright
said the root of the misunderstanding
was feeling of jealousy entertained
by England toward the American ma
ton. Every one knew England couldnot
hold Canada in case of war. What would
England have said if she had suffered as
Americans have from the Alabama? Pal
merston denied England was jealous, and be-
lieved there was good feeling toward Eng
gland among the great bulk OF Americans.
No doubt both the North and South have
some feeling for our non-esrousal of their
cause, but this was no reason why we should
not place Canada in a state of defense.
Palmerston could not agree with Lowe. lt
was not the intention of the Government TO
follow his advice. The relations between
England and America were perfectly
Consois dull at ss2S@ss1S. Confederate

fighting has occurred in North Carolina
since Sunday, and from all we can learn, it
appears that Sherman has attempted no
advance since his check on that day.
Seen. Hardee's victory on the 10th, was
very important one, and, as regards the
enemy, most bloody affair.
General Johnston telegraphs that in
that battle the Confederate loss was 450
while that Of the enemy was $500. The
fight took place at Averysboro, on the Cape
Fear river, half way between Raleigh and
Fayetteville.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-It was men
toned in former dispatch that 90 refugees
had arrived here from Fayetteville. They
have taken the oath of allegiance, and those
who desired to do so were furnished trans
portation North. The refugees report that
two-thirds of the people of North Carolina
in and about Fayetteville are Unionists,
and hailed the appearance of the old flag
with many manifestations of joy. There is
no great scarcity of provisions in South
Carolina, but money cannot be obtained to
purchase them. One dollar of the Bank
of the State of South Carolina will pur-
chase ten dollars of Confederate money;
one dollar of the State Bank of North Car
olina will purchase fifteen of Confederate
money, and it requires one hundred and
twenty-five dollars in Confederate money
to buy one dollar in gold.

Rebel Reports OF the Fighting I'm
North CarOlina-C COIOred Troops
-6srnnt,s Movements

--GirnmpS NlOVementS.
New YORK, March 25.-The reports In
Richmond of the fighting in North Caro-
lima, as given by the Dispatch of that city
in Gen. Grants official, do not conform
with those in Raleigh and published in
papers of that place. The Raleigh Con-
federate of the 2lst says it hopes within n
few days to give cheering intelligence. So
far everything Is encouraging. In the af-
fair which occurred few days since be-
tween Hardee's and Sherman's forces. we
repulsed successfully five assaults upon our
lines and held our position until the object
was effected. In drawing off we lost two
guns, the horses Of which had been killed.
Our loss in the affair was 400 killed and
wounded. The enemy's loss about 1000.
OF the battle of Sunday correspondents
state that very decided advantage was
gained by our troops. The enemy were
driven several miles with heavy loss. We
captured some artillery.
The first battle occurred on the 10th, near
the junction of Black with South river, on
Fayetteville and Goldsboro road, some
| fifteen miles below Bennetsville, in the
vicinity of which place the battle of Sunday
occurred.
SO it would appear the rebels fell back Is
| miles after gaining victory on the 10th, in
which the Union loss was bloody one.
II is evident no decisive battle had been
fought.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 22d says:
| Goldsboro has been evacuated. At last ac-
counts the enemy had not entered. The
same paper says there is band of rebel
deserters prowling in Darke county, Va,
plundering the people.
The organization of colored troops in
Richmond is going on as rapidly as possible.
The Sentinel says the darkies present lu-
dicrous appearance, but it is generally be-
lieved Sambo could be taught to handle a
gun as well as hoe.
The Petersburgh Express says Grants
trains were moving all Saturday night,
with troops, towards the left of his line.
1t may have been only another see-saw
movement to deceive. The weather, how
ever, is very fine, and Grant may advance,
though it is believed he will not move till
Sherman is nearer.
The Wing of the 22d learns that Fitzhugh
Lees cavalry attacked Sheridan at White
House on the 2lst, and severely punished
him.
The Times Washington special says
Lieut.. Morgan, 2lst Wisconsin, escaped
prisoner, left Fayetteville OH the 10Th, the
day OF the reported first battle, at which
time the rear of Sherman's army was cross
ing Cape Fear river and moving north. A
| skirmish occurred on the 10th, between the
I'd division of the 4th corps and a small
body of rebels. This was all the fighting
reported on that day.

New York, March 25.-The Tribune's

that only strong rear guard has been left

1t is also believed that Lee is at the head

The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building OF this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compare
lively, a greater heating surface; produces
a larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to apleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx Of such large and rapid current of
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
fues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability Of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board Of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
tion of large number OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public editlces, not only in Western,
but also in Eastern cities. Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.
