cial saya: Washington is filled With ru.
mors of battle in North Carolina between
Gen. Schoheld's forces and the rebels. No
particulars were known.
Quiet continues il the department. of the
Army of the Potomac, aud is likely to
do SO for some time, so far as movements
are concerned, for the roads are in very
bad condition owing TO the recent heavy
raios. The troops are being drilled daily
and new arms and clothing issued prepar-
atory TO the coming campaign. The men
are in excellent condition.
Deserters coutinue to come in, although
they are not SO numerous as heretofore =
About thirty arrived to-day through the
lines of the 9Th aud 9th CORPS.
The first corps advanced their picket
lines short distance this morning, aud it
is reported 10 have found rebel colored
troops on picket in their front If this is
true it shows that the rebels have at last
adopted the desperate policy of armiug
their slaves.

ayers" One instance of a Lieutenant and
seven men, near Gnesterville, aud another
OF twenty men near a raviue, so rods from

terville. l have ordered similar plumber
of prisoners in our hands to be disposed of
IN like manner hold about l, 600 pris-
oDers, captured in various ways, and can
stand it as long as you can. But hardly
think these murders are committed with
your knowledge, and would suggest that
you give notice to the people at large, tn at
every life taken by them simply results in
the death Of one of your confederates. Of
course you cannot question my right to
forage in the country. Il is war right
as old as history. The manner of exer-
cising it varies with circumstances, and if
the civil authorities will supply my requi
sitlous, will forbid all foraging. But
fear no civil authorities who can, will re.
spond to my calls for forage or provisions,
and !, therefore, must collect directly from
the people. have no doubt this is the
occasion of much misbehaVior on the part
of our men, but cannot permit an enemy
to judge or prevent with wholesslemurdef.
Personally, regret the bitter feelings
Sugendered by this war, hut they were to
be expected, and l simply alIege that those
who struck the frat blow aud made war
inevitable, ought not in fairness to re.
Proach US for the natural consequences.

A grand banquet was given by the Union
men to General Washburue last night, at
which be made a speech deprecating mill
tary law, and hoping for speedy restora-
ton of the civil government in the Slate,
expressing much charity for the southern
people and promising to receive them
kindly when they come in the proper spi-
rit. he told the Memphis merchants that
the interests of the city were to a certain
extent antsgonistic to the interests of the
government, but that he would be liberal
in regard to any legitimate, honest trade,
bot in anything else they would find him
their ineIorabIe foe.
A fight occurred at fort Pickering night
before last between the 81 Uoited States
colored artillery and white regiment, re-
sultiug in the death of several negroes and

ments belonged to the garrison of the fort.

WAsHIEarox, MARCH 11-Tha Ri,hn.-,

WAsHIEGTos, March 1.-THE Richmond
Examiner of the 9th inst, says:
All remains quiet along the lines Of
Gen. Grant, in fact for the last week eve
rything has been mud bound, and the rain
fell almost necessarily yesterday, which
only served to make matters worse in that
respect. 1t is not probable that General
Grant will attempt any movement until
there is a change of weather, aud the
country and the roads are in better con-
ditiop. Our military authorities should
be none the less vigilsnt, however, for he
may attempt to advance his lines when
least expected.
Northern papers continue to report a
number of deserters from our lines, and
their columns are filed with the stories
they tell Grant has thought these stories
of sufficient importance to telegraph them
to Washington, and the whole North catch
es at them in great eIultstien.
For some days parties have been send
ing large quantities of manufactured to-
oacco from here to fredericksburg. Re-
port says that the tobacco was to be traded
with the Yankees for bacon, and that Gen.
Singleton was the prime mover in the ar
rangemeut, this being the business that
sgain brought him to Richmond The to.
bacco was transported to Hamilton ferry
by railroad, and then hauled to Freder-
icksburg, distance of five miles, in wa.
CONS. The Yankees were expected to
come up to Frederic sburg in vessels and
bring bacon with them, and carry off the
tobacco. On Monday 200 600 pounds of
tobacco had been sent up. 40 900 pounds
of which had been hauled to Fredericks-
burg and slowed in a warehouse on the
RsPpshannocE, convenient for shipping,
and the other $4,000 pounds was in 81
cars at Hamilton crossing. The enemy
came up to Fredericksburg in gunboats on
Monday night, but brought no bacon that
we have been able to hear of Their frst
step was to send party of cavalry to Ham
iltou crossing, who set FIRE to and DESTROY
ed all the cars and tobacco, and also burn
ed the bridge over the Mossapome1 creek,
short distance this eide of Hamilton
crossing.
There are two reports as to what was
done with the tobacco at fredericksburg
One is that the enemy carried it of, and
the other that they fred the warehouse,
and destroyed both house and tobacco.
1t is sscertsined that the enemy burned
the five wagons employed in hauling the
tobacco, and carried off the horses. So
ends one of the most brilliant schemes of
our latter day spectators.
The Railroad Company regret losing the
81 cars, as they believed that aa arrange.
ment had been come to with the enemy
thatthey should not be molested.

Bragg reports that he attacked the enemy

aud drove him from his position. He dis

new line three miles from bis first.
We captured three pieces of artillery aud

ours comparatively small.
The troops behaved most handsomely,
aud Maj. Gems. Hill aud Hoke exhibited
their usual zeal and energy.

Klnstou near which the fight occurred ia
situated on the direct route from Goldsboro
to Hewbern is about 20 miles east of Golds-
boro and about 80 miles from Newberu. 1t
is supposed that this force of the enemy was
advancing from Newbern against Colds.
ooro, for the purpose of cutting the rail-
road at that point. 1t is not probable after
this repulse that the enemy will attempt to
advance, and it is likely we shall next hear
OF them falling back on Newborn or chang
ing their course to some other point of the
compass.
This movement Of the enemy was evil
IDENTITY designed to be a CO operation with
Sherman, and in this light aud at this
time it may be of great value to US in EN-.
