NEW YORK, March 10.
The HeTaIPs Winchester correspondent
confirms the reported victory over Early
by Sheridan, and says, General Sheridan
has occupied stanton. On his march up
the Valley to that point he met with nc
material opposition. The report that Gen.
Early himself was captured by General
Sheridan is not confirmed by our dis
patches.
Rebel prisoners report a heavy Union
force advancing from East Tennessee on
Lynchburg, of the capture of which place
we have unconfrmed rumors.
The HeraLGs correspondent from the
James says: There are additional indics-
tions of Lees intention to abandon Rich
m5nd. It is well understood that the re-
moval Of government stores has been going
on for some time. Large numbers Of
troops have recently been sent, it is pre-
sumed to Lynchburg.
The Augusta ConstitiltionaList SAYS
The 10Th and 18th corps with Sherman's
command has baggage train three miles
long. The 18th corps became drunk and
pillsged Columbia, burning the entire
length of Main street. Sherman ordered
the pillagers and burners TO be shot.
Two or three hundred citizens left with
the Yankees.
Most of the people remaining are oblig-
ed to live in huts. Their condition is dread
full. Sherman left twenty head of cattle
the sick and wounded and gave arms to the
citizens to protect themselves and negroes.
Every article Of subsistence was carried off.
Cellars, out-buI!dings, &c, being searched.
The city was shelled furiously before taken
possession of.
The same paper says there are 5000 10
comOtives and cars penned up at Char
lotte.
1t says Sherman will of course destroy
this stock.
They were heavily laden with stores.

NEw YORK, March 10.
The communication addressed to the
Richmond Enquirer, sent by telegram
last night, is dated, In the trenches, March
4th, and commences thus: i
We are alarmed. What mean all these
rumors OF the city2 Not of Sherman or
his advance, or how Early has bean da.
committeesP &c.
In this we have the only reference made
in the Richmond papers to the defeat of
Early.
The Worlds Port Royal correspondent
says it has been discovered that there we're
no torpedoes in Charleston harbor, and
that the reports concerning them and the
tortuous course pursued by the block
sCe runners and rebel vessels for the three
past years were only blinds.
The HsraLds correspondent says: Early
was found near Waynesboro, on a range
Of hills, with five pieces of artillery in po-
sitlon. General Custer dismounted two
regiments as skirmishers. In the rear, on
either side of the road, were two solid reg
ments. The movement upon the enemy's
works WAS made at once. The rebels fred
one volley and then fed like sheep. Their
attempt to escape was fruitless, as Custer
closed his lines upolthem and surrounded
nearly the entire fierce.
General Early did not attempt to rally
his men, but rode off on feet horse, at
tended by an orderly.
The victory was almost bloodless one,
IS we only lost ten or twelve killed and
wounded.

Associated Press Report.
FROM NEWBERN.
Nrw YoRK, March 10.

NEW YoRK, March 10.
By the arrival of the Dudley Buck, which
left Newbern Monday afternoon, the sixth,
We learn that up to the 4th inst. warm
shower had been falling for week, max
ing the roads bad. It cleared of on Sat
urdsy night. The enemy had felled .
great number Of trees scross the roads and
paths leading from Newbern to Kinston
which we're being removed by the force
advancing from Newbern, which force
was within q short distance of Kinston.
Refugees who arrived in NeWbern state
that Fayetteville, North Carolina, was in
our possession last week, and that Sherman
was within forty miles of Raleigh. The
rebel soldiers were deserving ip companies,
and in some cases by regiments. Some Of
them were returning to their homes
The people pay but little attention to
the proclamation Of Governor Vance, call
ing them to arms, and in most places in
North Carolina the peoplego forth to meet
Sherman with words Of welcome, and are
not particular about placing their stock,
&c, out of his reach.
Quite q panic exists among the negroes
in North Carolis, since the announcement
that they are TO be conscripted into the
rebel army. The rebels are now gather.
ing them up. A strong combination ex-
lists among the conservative Shareholders
TO resist the measure, some of whom are
srming their slaves In order that they NAV
be able to defy tho rebel authorities, and
retain their servants, who exhibit s readi-
ness to fight for their masters and theiI
houses, rather than for the Confederacy.
Great numbers Of negroes are Aocking tC
Shermsn's army.

The Commercial says A letter from an
officer on the Niagara, dated, ,Ferrol, Spain,
February 18th, states that the rebel ram
Stonewall was lying close by that place;
the Spaniards had allowed her in to make
limited repairs, and that the command der
had asked permission to leave her in port,

Side Railroad. He has erected a number
of observstories along his Hatcher Run
linel, and from these his signal corps take
observations. HIS movements are un-
known.
The Richmond Examiner of the sth
SAYS: For the past few days there has
been little firing on Richmond and Peters
burg lines. It will require yet week of
sunshine and wind to render the roads
pAssable, and put the ground in any con-
dition for an extensive military movement
We have = very important piece of

RAID On THE RAPPAHAWNOCK.
PHuADErPHTA March 10

A special dispatch to the Evenilg Zsls
graph, from Washington to-day, says the
Star says: On Mondon last three trans
ports with troops from Fortress Monroe,
conveyed by the gunbosts Com. Read and
Yankee, proceeded up the Rsppahannock
on raid, the principal object being the
capture of large quantity Of tobacco TO be
smuggled into our lines.
Aschooner bound up, with a cargo of
whisky and salt, was first captured BY the
Read, and the crew and cargo removed and
the schooner blown up.
On arriving at Fredericksburg it was
found TO be garrisoned by a squad of rebels
who, however, made no response. A body
of troops and sailors were lsnded who sue
ceeded in capturing the tobacco. 1t was
manufactured tobacco, about 50 tons, and
estimated to be worth $3.50, 900.
The country about Fredericksburg was
secured pretty efeetually, and during the
raid over 400 prisoners were taken.
An extensive contraband trade has been
by the rebels on the Rsppahan-
mock and this expedition was intended to
break it up.
AS the vessels passed down the river on
their return, numbers of deserters came off

FROM RORTH CAROLINA,

WASHINGTON, March 10.
Charlotte, N. G., Bulletin, of the lst, in
an article on the situation, says that if the
army of Lee defeated that of Grant at
Spottsylvania, and around the Virginia
capital, when the Yankee commander had
225, 900 men and Lee had less than 10000,
why msy we not severely punish the two
combined Federal armies whose aggregate
will be less than 10000? The resources
of Virginia have been held in reserve, not.
withstanding q month has elapsed since
the grsnaries of Georgia and portion of
South Carolina have been cut off. Lees
men still live on full rAtions; there is no
reason to apprehend that they will fail
to enjoy plenty to the end. Under
the guidance of heaven thsy are
more than q match for the willy Sher-
man, and we have never felt more conf
dent than at the present hour that he is
destined to come to grief. Let our people,
then, be patient until our arrangements are
completed and our plans c0nsummsted.
Well break at last through the darkness
and gloom. The mighty resction that
must follow victory will compensate US for
all cur present reverses; and, although

the arena with spirit unquenched.
The Fayetteville Telegraph assures its
readers that it is not the wish of the gov
ernmeat to conceal anything from them,
but to prevent, if possible, the Yankee
forces in Wilmington and South Carolina
from learning anything Of the movements
Of each other. Their means of eommunics-
ton are very limited and uncertain, and it
is our policy not to make improvements for
them. It hopes the condition Of affairs will
be so materially changed in few days SIS
to enable it to dispense with this reticence.
All our information thus far is of an en-
coursging character.

Columbia was unexpected, sudden and sur.
Prlsing. 1t found all unprepared. When
ms guns were heard in the city, the public
ofncers for the first time began to think Of
removing the Government stores. The
little army gave way step by step until
tisnked out Of position on the opposite side
OF the Congsree, when they fell back to
the city, and began the work of getting off
the stores, but the time was too short, and
much was left. The worst feature Of the
whole scene was the plundering done bv
Wheeler's cavalry. This was done most
systematically, as if they were trained to
stealing.
The Tribune special says Ex-senator
wilkinson, of MinnesotA, is expected to

SENATE.

: WASHINGTON, March 10.
Q Mr.. johnson presented the credentials
: Hon. j. A. j. Cresswell, elected Senator b
, the Legislature of Maryland in place
Senator Hicks, deceased. he was quali6e
and took his seat.
Mr.. Lane, Of Kansas, moved that th
Senate proceed to the consideration of th
resolution to pay compensation and milesQ
to the claimants of seats from Louisian,
and Arkansas, upon which the Committe,
TO amend the contingent expenses had re-
ported adversely.
Mr.. Sumner called attention to the fsci
that this resolution involved an expendi.
ture of $9, 600, and that one of the persons
MI. Flshback, could not take the oath re-
quired of every Senator without commit
ting perjury.
Mr.. Lane said that it was not true. for
Mr.. Flshback was known to be a radical
republican from the commencement of the
WSr, and was one to this moment, and op-
posed In every possible way the ordinance
OF secession, until he was compelled 70 vote
for 1t to save his life. The Senator from
Massachusetts, had just voted to print a
book from the Academy Of Science, For
himself (Lsne) ne was not disposed to
do q wrongto save little money.
Mr.. Trumbull did not see what CLAIM, tbo
gentlemen had claiming seats from Ar
kansas. The Judiciary Committee had
by decided vote, had deCIHrsu' sutsJ uy,+v
not entitled to the seats.
Mr.. Wade said the lsw-making power
had declared 1 ouisisna to be in rebellion
against the people of the United States.
1t was not in the power of the President
to bring back any State which was delib-
erately opposed to q Republican Govern
ment. The people are utterly unqualified |
to set up State Government until the |
barriers are removed and Congress de- |
clsres that they are in q condition to |
establish q Government for themselves. |
The bringing back of State was not to be |
by the President. He could no
more, by order thirty-fVe, authorize q re-
bellious State to form Government, than
ne could create something out of nothing.
He had striven to elect the President, but
be could never sanction such q process as
hat. Would the Senator from Illinois
sanction this and bring in here unwsshed
'ebels, men who have perjured themselves
o the lowest hell, to associate with the
patriotic Senstor from Illinois. Sir, it will
lever do. Hahn was the candidate of the
President, who said to him in an order,
BE Governor of Louisiana" and this was
lone without consulting the Senate or any
ther body. The Senator from Illinois had
rged that the people of Louisiana had
ceepted without restraint, and that two
birds of the people had taken part in the
lection.
Mr.. Trumbun moved to amend the reso-
ltion so as to provide for paying only the
claimants, pending which the
enate went into executive session. Ad-
,urned.
