PHILADELPHIA, March 1O.-The even
ing telegram from Washington to-day, says:
The Star says that on Monday last, thir-
teen transports with troops from Fortress
Monroe, accompanied by the gunboats
Commo lore Read and Yankee, proceeded
up the Rappohannock on raid, the prin-
cipal object being the capture of large
quantity Of tobacco, known to have been
sent from Richmond to Fredericksburg to
be struggled into our lines. On its way
the expedition proceeded cautiously and
the gunboats secured the river thoroughly
for torpcdocs. A schooner bound up, with
a cargo of whiskey was first captured, and
the crew and cargo was removed, when the
schooner was blown up. On arriving at
Fredericksburg it was found to be garrison.
ed by squad of rebels who, however,
made no resistance. A body of troops and
sailors were landed, who succeeded in cap.
turing the tobacco. There was manufac.
tured tobacco amounting to ninety.fve
tons, estimated to be worth s3SO,O0O. The
country about Fredericksburg was secured
pretty cffcctually. During the raid four
hundred prisoners were taken. An cxtcn-
sive contraband trade had been organized
by the rebels on the Rappahannock This
expedition was designed to break it up As
the vessels passed down the river on their
return, numbers Of dcserters came off from
shore.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-Thc Char
lotto, N. G., Bulletin, of March 18th, in an
article on the situation, says: If the army
of Lee could defeat that Of Grant a. Spot
sylvania and around the Virginia capital,
where the Yankee commander counted his
$4,000 men, and we had less than co.
600, why may We not severely punish the
terribly decreased Federal armies, whose
aggregate will be less than 10000. Tie
lines about Richmond are impregnable.-
The resources of Virginia have been held
in reserve. Notwithstanding that more
than month has already elapsed since the
granaries of Georgia and portion of South
Carolina have been cut off, Lees men arc
still on full rations. There is no reason to
apprehcnd that they will fail to enjoy plen-
ty to eat, and under the guidance Of Iieav.
en-, they are more than a match for the wily
Sherman. We have never felt more con-
fdent than at the present hour, that he is
destined to come to grief. Let our people
be patient until our arrangements arc com.
pletc and our plans consummated. The
day will break through the darkest gloom.
The mighty reaction that must follow vic.
tory, will compensate us all for present re.
verses, and though bleeding, our country
will be found in the arena with her spirit
unquenched.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Washing
ton Republican of yesterday contains tho
following: General Thomas tclcgraphs to
the Government that one of bis scouts came
in with information that the rebel Generals
s. d. Lee and Chcatham had been sent
from Alabama against Sherman, but Lee
was subsequently recalled to defend Selma
Cheatham proceeded, intending to form .
junction with Hardee from Charleston, but
the scouts report that the rebels have in.
formation that before the junction was
formed, Sherman hurled few of his vete.
ran brigades back upon Cheatham's column,
completely crushing it. Hardee was not
up to time. The report don't say that he
gave any help at al, but that Johsson vas
