Charleston Mercury. Mr.. R. finally got an
audience with the President. With an assur-
ance of great Importance, he proposed his ad-
vice to Mr.. johnson as to the policy that
should be pursued towards the South
The Hon. III. B. Rhett (rebeD visited the
Freedmen's Bureau, and stated to Gen. How
ard that his family had some negroes, several
hundred in ALL in Alabama, for whom he
wanted an order for transportation that they
might be brought at Government expense to
South Carolina, where it appears they belong,
and where they were hurried by their owners
when Gen. Sherman arrived in Savannah and
was threatening the liberation of slaves under
military occupation. Mr. Rhett made this alb
surd request in such an arrogant, impudent mar
ner, that the General was compelled to order a
guard to eject the offender but Rbet, vamoosed
before the order could be executed.

ted theil case without argument yesterday, as

Accounts from MObiIe-The Rebel
Congress.

New YORK, March PA rebel dispatch
dated Mobile, February 2Sth, says: Twen-
ty-two steamers and six Mississippi river
transports are in the lower bay, and a large
number of troops are on Dauphin Island
and at Pensacola, indicating an early attack
on the city.
A New Orleans letter of the 9th ult., an
nounces the arrival of 1000 exchanged
prisoners from Texas, including a number
of naval officers.
Rebel papers, on the passage of the negro
enlistment act, say it is a measure of neces-
sity, not of choice. Mr.. Wigtall, during a
debate, denounced the Legislature of Vir-
ginia, and demanded the resignation of jeff.
Davis.
6 The speech of Senator Hunter in the
rebel Senate is printed. He voted for the
instructions from the Virginia Legislature,
but entered his protest against it, as an
abandonment of the contest, and of the
grounds upon which the South seeded. He
also showed from statistics that no consider
able body of negro troops could be raised
in the States over which the government
had control, without stripping the country
of the labor absolutely necessary to produce
food, and stated that the commandant of
conscripts, with authority to impress 200,-
600 slaves, had since last September been
able to get but 1000, of whom $500 were
from Virginia and North Carolina, and the
balance from Alabama. Mr.. Hunter also
argued that the negroes would not volun-
teer, and those we did get would desert to
the enemy, who can offer them better
price.

Grant tMud-bOund-The Capture of
Tobacco at Fredericksburg.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Richmond
Examiner of the 9th says: All remains
quiet along the lines of Gen. Grant. In
fact, for the last week everything has been
mud-bound, and rain fell almost necessarily
yesterday, which served to make matters
worse in that respect. 1t is not probable
that Gen. Grant, will attempt movements
till there is change of weather and the
country roads are in better condition. Our
military authorities should be none the less
vigilant, however, for he may attempt to
advance his lines when least expected.
Northern papers continue to report
number Of deserters from our lines, and
their columns are filled with the stories
they tell. Grant has thought these stories
of sufficient importance to telegraph them
to Washington, and the whole North
catches at them.
For some days parties in this city have
been sending large quantities of manu-
factuEed tobacco to Fredericksburg. Re-
ports say that this tobacco was to be traded
with the Yankees for bacon, and that Gen.
Singleton was the prime mover In the ar
rangement, this being the business that
brought him again to Richmond. The to-
bacco was transported to Hamilton Ferry
by railroad, land thencehauled to Fredericks-
burg, five miles distant in wagons. The
Yankees were expected to come up in ves-
sells to Fredericksburg and bring bacon
with them and carry off the tobacco. On
Monday last 100000 lbs of tobacco had been
sent up!the Fredericksburg railroad, 10000
pounds of which had been hauled to Fred
ericksburg and stored in warehouse on
the Rappahannock, convenient for shipping,
and the balance was in cars at Hamilton
Crossing. The enemy came up to Fred
ericksburg in boats on Monday night,
but brought no bacon that we have
been able to hear of. Their first
step was to send party of cavalry to
Hamilton crossing, who set fire to and
destroyed all the cars and tobacco, there.
This party also burned the bridge short
distance this side of Hamilton. NJ
There aretwo reports as to what was done
with the tobacco at fredericksburg. One
is that the enemy carried it of, and the 9th
er, that they fired the warehouses and de-
stroyed both houses and tobacco. 1t is as
certained that they burned five wagons en-
ployed in hauling the tobacco, and carried
off the horses. So ends one of the most
brilliant schemes of our latter day specu-
lators. The Railroad Co., regret losing the
cars, as they believed an arrangement had
been come to with the enemy, that they
should not be molested. ,.3ssiF.

Army of the Potomac Preparing
for an Advance.

ARMY OF THE PoToMAC, March 9.-Quiet
continues in this Department, and is likely
to do so for some time, so far as any move
ments are concerned, for the roads are in
very bad condition, owing to the recent
heavy rains. Troops are being drilled
daily, and new arms clothing, &C., issued,
preparatory to the coming campaign. The
men are in good condition.
Deserters continue to come in, although
they are not so numerous as heretofore.
About 30 arrived to-day through the lines
of the 9TH and 9Th corps. 1t is reported
that four were shot on their way over.
The 1st corps advanced their picket lines
a short distance this morning, and it is re-
ported to have found rebel coored troops
on the picket line in their front. If this is
true it shows that the rebels have at last
adopted the policy of arniing their slaves

Escaped PrisOners-TheF Feeling In
M North Carolina II.

New YORK, March 1.-THE Herald's
Newbern correspondent of the 4th says
Seven Union prisoners reached here yester-
day morning, who escaped from the cars
while being conveyed from Florence, s. g.,
to Salisbury, NC. The rebels commenced
removing the entire body of prisoners as
Sherman advanced towards that point, and
200 or 300 made good their escape. The
rebel guard were mostly boys from fourteen
to sixteen or eighteen years of age, and
were lily able to bear the hardsllps of
service or meet the shrewdness or skill of
veterans. The seven who came in report
they were first taken to Wilmington, and
as they were being removed thence to Sails
bury effected their escape on the 22d of Feb
Fuary. They were aided in reaching our
lines by Union men and negroes. ..
The rebels are conscripting all boys they
can find. Negroes are coming in in droves,
being terrified by the prospect Of the rebels
taking them into their armies. They say If
they must fight they would rather fight for
the North
MARCH Ga citizen arrived here to-day
direct from Goldsboro, having come
through all the way by the main roads, and
he reports that he did not see a rebel soldier
on the route. People in the interior were
almost unanimously of the opinion that the
CCdfederacy is gone up. Negroes were be-
ing gathered up at certain points, and there
was great panic among that class. The
whites were equally despondent, but for a
different reason. 1t will be a relief to them
when Sherman takes them out of the hands
and bonds Of the Confederacy. | believe
that if many North Carolina military were
near our lines they would desert nearly en-
masse, and as for Longstreet, he is long
way off. The Union army is not such ain
object of hate to the North Carolina soldiers
in the rebel army as to Beauregard and
JEFF. Davis.

The Battle In North CarOIED. S--Gen.
Lees RrpOrt-We Lose 1,5OO
Prisoners and Three Pieces Of
Artillery. +
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Richmond
Dispatch of Friday contains the following
dispatch from Gen. Lee, giving the partic-
ulars of battle near Kinston, N. o., be-
tween Bragg and the Union forces, which
moved from Newbern to meet Sherman In
the direction of Goldsboro:
HEADQUARTERs, &C., March 0.
Gen j. G. Breckinridge, Secretary Of War:
General Bragg reports that he attacked
the enemy yesterday, four miles I'm front of
Kinstou, and drove him from his position.
He disputed the ground obstinately, and
took up Il new position three miles from his
first. We captured three pieces of artillery
and 1,5G0 prisoners. The number of the
enemy's dead aud wounded lett on the field
is large; ours comparatively small. The
troops behaved most handsomely; and
Major Generals Hill and Hokc exhibited
their usual zeal and energy.
[Signedl r. L. LEE.
Kinston, near which the fight occurred,
is situated on the direct route from Colds
boro to Newbern, and is about twenty
miles east of Goldsboro, and about thirty
from Newbcrn. 1t is supposed that this
force of the enemy was advancing from
Newbern against Goldsboro for the purpose
of cutting the railroad at that point. 1t is
not probable, after this repulse, that the en-
emy will attempt to advance, and it is like
ly we shall next hear of them falling back
on Newbern or changing their course to
some other point of the compass. This
movement was evidently designed to be
cooperative with Sherman, and in this
light and in this juncture it may be of great
utility to us in embarrassing the move
ments of Sherman.

Occupation of SuH0llz-'The Rebel
CONGRESS-.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-The Richmond
Examiner of the 9th says: 1t was reported
that Suffolk was again occupied by the en-
emy on the 1st, with Il force of 1,500 cavalry
and a regiment of negroes. 1t is surmised
a raid is intended by them in the direction
of the Weldon road. ="
Both Houses of Congress agreed yester-
day to adjourn next Saturday. The busi-
ness of the session is pretty well closed up.
The only important bill now pending is
that putting negroes in the army, which
was passed in the Senate by one majority.
The bill was slightly amended in the
Senate, and necessarily goes back to the
House for concurrence. The amendment
not being material, it is supposed the bill
will pass the House withoutdificulty, prob
ably to-day. Congress will have been in
session los days on next Saturday.

johnson and Cheathnm Reported
BADLY Whipped by Sherman.

New YORK, March 1.-THE Washing
ton Republican of yesterday contains the
following: Gen. Thomas telegraphs
the Government that one of his
scouts came in with information that
that the rebel Generals Lee and Cheatham
have been sent from Alabama against Sher-
man, but Lee was subsequently, recalled to
defend Selma. Cheatham proceeded, intend
tending TO force junction with Hardee
from Charleston, but scouts report the rebels
have information that before the junction
was formed Sherman hurled few of his
veteran brigades back upon Cheatham's
column, completely crushing it. Hardee
was not up to time, and report does not say
he gave battle at all, but that johnson was
supposed to have attacked Sherman in front
and got awfully whipped.
4 The Republican says there is every rea-
ssh to believe the above to be true.

"AnOunce orPreyention is yyortl,

81 Pound Of Cure.''-This old and ever
true maxim is fully exemplfed in the use
of "PINKERToN's WAHoo AND CALIsAYA
BIrTERs." Hundreds and thousands have
been saved from fevers by the daily use of
these Bitters. We said ''daily," because they
should be used as a beverage. They are a
vegetable tonic and will injure no one, but
on the contrary do all good who use them.
They help circulation, restore lost appetite,
and greatly promote the action of the diges-
tive organs, and never fail to counteract the
bad effects produced by the change of eli
mate or water. Travellers should not do
without them. They are pleasant to the
palate, and will invigorate and strengthen
the whole system. Try one bottle-it will
put new life in you, and make you feel that
there is cure for your case. We know they
are the best Bitters ever offered to the world.
