i'hwbkbk, June 9. The transport Albany leaves here this morn ing at 6 o'clock. The concurrent testimony of deserters leaves no doubt that the long smouldering fires ot revolution are breaking out in the interior of North Carolina, and that the disaffection has reached a point far beyond even the significant intimations of the State lournals. several thousand armed reiugees rrom me conscription have been for weeks entrenched in the with artillery, successfully defying the confederate authorities. The Kaleigh Standard bitterly complains that while the rebel conscription act has not been enforced in Georgia and Mississippi, North Carolina has been raked as with a fine- tooth comb.

It appears that in the battle of Chaneellorsville, 29 North Carolina regiments were placed ni the front to resist Hooker advance, while the South Carolina and Virgi nia were held in reserve. The- massacre of North Carolinians is boldly and freely de- nounced, and the confederates are charged with gross injustice and bad faith. The numerous and studied indignities put upon this state and her people are keenly resented. Southern Items. The following are extracts from the Rich mond Dispatch of the 6th inst.

Jackson, June 3. -AH is quiet at Vicksburg. Yesterday ho firing was heard. Gen. Grant is evidently making preparations for a movement in some direction.

jAcksoN, June 4. A courier reports that Gen. Kirby Smith crossed to Port Hud son Sunday. 1 be gunboats made a furious assault, sinking one steamer and drowning seven hundred men. No doubts are felt in regard to the.

re sult. Interesting details of the fight at Vicksburg on Tburdny are coming in. Gen. Grant used cotton bales for movable breatworks in the attack. Gen, Pemberton mounted his two hundred pounders and directed their fire at the cotton bales, mowing down whole platoons of the enemy.

Our entire loss, including the action of Baker's Creek, does not exceed 5,000. Confidence in Gen. Pemberton since bis answer to Grant's demand for surrender has been fully restored. No fears are felt regarding the results either at Vicksburg or Port Hudson. Jackson, June 4, P.

Col. Johnson to Gen. Walker says We are now in Bluff-ton, which place is in flames. The enemy have retired. JNo one on our side is hurt.

The corn crop in Alabama and estern Georgia is in a nourishing condition, and promises an abundant yield. The late rains were very beneficial. Mobile, June 4.

Refugees at Hascagoula report another brilliant victory over the Yan kees at rort Hudson. An editorial in the Richmond Whig says Ihe news from the Southwest continues to be of.a cheering character. Nobly has Gen Pemberton vindicated the confidence placed iu him by President Davis. From all accounts the defense of Vicksburg is the most glorious episode in the already crowded annals of our military history. Hecatombs of lankees at test the valor of our troops and the skill and success with wnich they have been handled.

Iu every attack the heroic garrison has immortalized itself. The Yaekees have given up the attempt to take the city by sterm, and now talk of a regular siege a plan which Gen. Johnston may possibly interfere with." The telegraph also brings the report of a brilliant victory gained by Gen. Kirby Smith over Gen. Banks at Port Hudson.

We have every reason to believe that this news will all be confirmed. With Gen. Grant's army all but annihilated by the terrific execution of our artillery and musketry at Vicks'mrg, and the strategic movements of Gen. Banks suddenly eut short at Port Hudson, the great campaign of the West, from which so much was expected by the enemy, bids fair to prove the most disastrous and gigantic ot all their failures in ibis war." Foreign News. The Africa, from Queenstown May 31, arrived at Halifax Tuesday afternoon.

pnfeiio meeting was to be held at Liverpool on the 3d of June, to pay a tribute to the memory of Stonewall Jackson. The ships Dorcas, Prince, and Union Jack, from New York for Shangbae, the Sea Turk, for Boston from San Francisco, and the Nye, a whaler, had been captured by the Alabama. St. Thomas advices of the 4th of May, state that several federal vessels of war were then lying in that harbor, composing the squadron of Wilkes who evidently intended making St. Thomas the centre of operations in the West Indies, regardless of the fact that the ialand was in the possession of the Danish crown.

Wachusett was to all intents and purposes the guard ship and remained at St. Thomas dur ing the cruising of other vessels, always hav ing steam np in readiness to overhaul any vessel leaving the harbor, and otherwise annoyed the ships leaving the port The Times remarks that the North has ex pended three armies in trying four generals and the last two have most signally failed. Against these contingent commanders for the selection of whom the field is almost without limit, the South must stake the lives of gen erals whose abilities can not be questioned, and who numbers such casualties as that by which Jackson has fallen, may too soon diminish, and it is in this gradual loss of men eminent by their qualities and skill that the South may prove most vulnerable. The Times city article says that thus far there is not the slightest symptom of willing ness to close the war in America, and those on this side who are calculating on the probable effects of conscription and financial collapse may perhaps find ihat these agencies, so far from bringing about a settlement, will simply lead to an increase ot anarchy and further to the dismemberment of the country, which will bring it to a condition in which the existence of any central authority capable of making a treaty of peace, or of enforcing it when made, will be even more doubtful than at present. As to its being the true policy of England to recognize the independence of the South, we can not recognize that which does not exist.

The South is not yet independent, though she is apparently rapidly aehieving ti. Hopeless as the prospect of the North may be, we have no rignt to place in its way any fititious cause of discouragement. friendly remonstrances or personal sacrifices could be of avail, it would be incumbent on us to use every effort but we know eacb step of that kind on our part could but increase the mis chief. France, Spain or Russia might com mand our good will in the attempt, but jus to the extent that we might join it should we lessen the prospect of its success. The House of Commons re-assembled on the 28th.

The proceedings were unimportant. On the 29tb, Mr. Roebuck gave notice that on an early day he should move that an address should be presented to the Crown that her Majesty should cause negotiations to be entered into with European powers with a view to the recognition of the Confederate States.

The righting ot both columns under tjren. Bulord and Gen. Gregg was very gallant. No single instance of misbehavior occurred. The grandest charge of the day was made by the btb cavalry, su ported by the tn Regulars, when they dashed on a whole brig ade of the enemy and were taken in flank by another brigade, and, though overpowered, gallantly cut their way out.

wo of Gen. Gregg brigades, under Gol. Wyndbam and Col. Kilpatrick, had hot work all the morning, but drove the enemy from the river to Brandy St ition. The rebels were numerically superior to us, including our small supporting force of infantry.

Notwithstanding this we drove them back handsomely, and captured two hundred prisoners and one stand of colors. Thev bad five large brigades, under the command of Gen. Fitz-Hugh Lee, Jones, Field and Robinson, with sixteen pieces of artillery under Major Beckham. They had been reviewed tne previous day by lien. Liee, and were -un der orders to leave on their grand raid into Maryland and Pennsylvania Wednesday morn ing.

Important papers were captured in the camp of Jones' brigade, showing the strength of the whole force and its intentions. The fight was discontinued about three o'clock, the rebels falling back upon strong infantry supports which came up by rail from Culpepper.supposed to be part of Longstreet's force, which, from letters taken, wo learn was in that vicinity on Saturday. Our forces returned almost unmolested to this side of the river'during the afternoon, the enemy declin ing to make any serious attempts to regain their lost grounds. We lost several officers. The following is a partial list of the killed Col.

The loss of the enemy in killed.wounded and prisoners, far exceeds our own. We got two or three of their brigades under the fire of our artillery with the shell and short fuses, and tore them awfully. Gen. Lee, it was pretty well known, had as sembled his cavalry supported by artillery and infantry, between Culpepper Court House and Beverly's Ford, with a design to send tbem upon a raid, and this fact is further sub stantiated from a document that fell into Pleasanton's hands by which it was ascertained that Stuart was to have started on his journey within an hour or two ot the time our forces came up with him. Gen.

Pleasanton, in view of the information above stated, was dispatched with portions of the divisions ot our cavalry, commanded by Generals Buford and Gregg respectively to prevent the commencement ot the programme, he torce under lien, liutord consisted of por tions of the 1st, 2d, 5th and'Gth regular caval ry and the 6th Pennsylvania cavalry and that under lieneral Gregg, portions ot the 8th New York, the 8th Illinois and the 3d Indiana." Gen. Buford's force which was on the right, first met the enemy's pickets ball a mile South of the Ford, when a severe en gagement immediately commenced, rebels being in a heavy force and resisted the ad vance of our troops with continuous hand to hand fighting. Gen. Gregg brought his force up to the fight and became engaged. The enemy gradually gave way, disputing every inch ot the ground, desperately however.

In tbii way our meu made more than a dozen charges in the midst of the rebel ranks, relying almost entirely on the sabre, which they used with terrible effect. The enemy on the other hand repeatedly charged, also reiving mainly on their revolvers. Both sides weie repeatedly driven back in the course of the battle though we succeeded in driving the rebels, Fitz Hugh Lee's and Wade Hampton's divisions of cavalry, with artillery all commanded by Maj. Gen. J.

E. B. Stuart, back to a point about eix miles southwest of where their pickets were first encountered, where Pleasan ton found the enemy so heavily reinforced with infantry and artillery, as to make it pru dent to return to this side ot the river, This commenced at about 4 P. General Pleasanton briniring off about 200 prisoner his own wounded and the bodies of his officers who had been killed in the engagement. The 6th Penn.

cavalry, which was in the advance under Buford, lost heavily, including six offi cers killed.wounded or missing. Davis was killed by a shell. Major Robert Morris is missing, and Lieut. Lennig is also missing. Lieut R.

Ellis had a revolver shot through his leg. and Capt. was cut with a sabre. The 8th N. Y.

had the advance under Gen Gregg, under the immediate command of Col. Davis, who was killed on the field, after slightly wavering acquitted themselves with much gallantry. On the return to this side of the river the enemy skirmished frequently with our rear guard, doing us no damage to ppeak of, however. Our loss ba3 not been luiiied. The proportion of horses killed on both sides in this almost unexampled band-to- hand cavalry battle was very large.

The field in which Buford and Gregg first became engaged, through the whole distance of five miles over which the enemy were driven be fore getting back to their reinforcements, was strewn with dead and wounded rebels. Officers represent this as the fiercest and bloodiest cavalry fight of the war. VABIOI'S MATTERS. The report is current in Richmond that the have evacuated Suffolk and are throwing up fortifications eight miles from Norfolk, and the greater part ot Gen. Peek's lorces have been sent to Gen.

Hooker. The Navy Department has received the re port of Lieut. Commander Gillis, giving the details of the joint expedition of the army and navy up the Mettapony river. Its main ob ject was to destroy a foundry at a point 10 miles above Walkertown, where it was said ordnance matter was manufactured for the enemy. With this purpose four hundred infantry, on the morning of the 4th, embarked at Yorktown on the steamer Commodore Morris, Lieut.

Commander Gillis, U. S. steamer Commodore Jones, Lieut. Commanding Mitchell, the army gunboat Siaitli Biiggs, and transport Winnisimmet. The expedition proceeded to Walkertown.

about 20 miles above West Point on the Mettapony River, where it arrived at 2 A. M. on the 5ih. The troops were landed and marched to Ayletts where the objects of the expedition were successfully accomplished, and the tonndry with all its machinery, together with mills, grain, destroyed. The land forces also destroyed grain at other places and captured horses, mules and cattle, and at 5:20 P.

M. they re-embarked. The vigilant dispositions of Lieut-Com Gillis kept the river below clear, and the rebels attempting demonstrations at several points were dispersed by the gunboats. The navy had no casualties. Admiral Lee thinks that the entire success of the expedition was owing to our evacuation of West Point only live days before, thus precluding the probability otany movement in that direetion and throwing the enemy off bis guard.

A late Washington dispatch says, dispatches have been received at Gen. Stahel's headquarters from Capt Harrison of the 2d cavalry which state that the CaDt. who left Fairfax C. June 6th, with a squad of cavalry on a scouting expedition traversed the country through to Middleburg via Aldie and Upperville to Baibours and Warrenton. He captured eight prisoners and fifteen horses.

Among the prisoners was the notorious spy Mitier Thompson who was captured not long since by another party and confined in jail at Fairfax Court House from whence he made his escape. This is an important capture. Another dispatch to Gen. Stahel says that Major Brown of the 1st Michigan cavalry just returned from a scont, reports that he visited Gainesville, New Baltimore, Waterloo, Warrenton, Barbours, Chester Gap and Front Royal. He met a force of 150 rebels at Waterloo and skirmished with them, killing and wounding several.

He found a small squad of rebels at Barbours, and routed and drove off the detachment, capturing one who was a guard at the Ford. The following official telegram was received Thursday. Poolesville, June 11. The rebel cavalry came across the river this morning at daybreak, about 250 strong. They dashed rapidly up the town, driving in our patrols, and attacked Co.

I of the 6th Mich, cavalry, who were on picket duty at Seneca. Our forces gradually fell back, pursued by the enemy, to within three miles of Poolesville. The enemy then retreated to Seneca, burned the camp of the Michigan company, returned down the new path and recrossed the river, we lost tour men Kinea and one badly wounded. Rebel loss, one killed and one left. The Oarolinas.

AHiltouHead letter ot the 4th reports a raid by 600 of the 2d S. C. regiment, under Col. Montgomery, into the interior, who re turned without loss, with 1000 contrabands and a large amount of other property. It is stated 5000 might have been brought off had transportation been sufficient.

ine ot tne 3rd has a dispatch from up the the river stating that Porter's two fleets of boats were above and below Vicksburg. Tbey kcjp np regular communication and supplies of all kinds are reglarly received. On the 22d, after a hard fight the fleet succeeded in passing all the hill batteries at Yicksburg. and then raked the works and upper bluff batteries for two hours. The only reference to the fight at Port Hud son on the 27th, is the following in the Era of tne 2nd Headquarters 19th Ajimt Corps, Before Port Hudson, May 28.

A severe battle was fought here yesterday by the forces under Gen. Banks and the rebel garrison. The loss is considerable on both sides, but will fall far short ol the first estimate. Our forces advanced to the enemy's works and hold their position to-day. The Era says Since the above was re ceived we have the most satisfactory informa tion in regard to the progress of the siege ot Port Hudson, but which from prudential mo tives we refrain from publishing.

Our forces are gradually gaining on the enemy, and a tew days will tiecide the fate of that rebel stronghold." Other New Orleans papers received contain nothing different, but are filled with lists ot rebel killed and wounded at Chancellorsville and other secesh matters. All officers serving on detailed duty in and around New Orleans have been ordered to their regiments at Port Hudson. The latest advices are as follows There had been no fighting of consequence since the assault of the 27th. But Gen. Banks had been rapidly contracting his lines and an proaching the rebel works.

The wings of our army rested on or near the river both above and below the city and there was no possi bility of reinforcements reaching the beleaguered garrison. Gen. Banks had made up bis mind to take the place and he had the men and means to do it. The contest on the 27th was very desperate and bloody, the rebels fighting with reckless courage, and our men were not behind in daring and pluck. Our informant corroborates the good account heretofore given of the conduct of the colored soldiers.

These sable warriors provoked the most frenzied hatred on the other side, and the rebels bent all their energies to their an nihilation, and since the fight they have missed no chance to kill negro pickets. In one instance they pounced upon one single black sentry and forthwith hung him. The bloody instruction was quickly improved for almost within an hour some negroes got hold of a rebel picket and swung him in full sight of their murdered companion. All the stories of Kirby Smith coming to the relief of Port Hudson are probably erroneous. Smith is no doubt in Texas or pos sibly in Western Louisiana, certainly not here near Port Hudson.

Col. Grierson is slashing around as the Hoosiers say and was tearing up railroads, destroying bridges, bunting for confederate stores. It was understood that Joe Johnston was at Jackson on thj 27th but had no force to bring against Grant. We regret to learn that Gen. Sherman who was wounded at Port Hudson is hardly expected to live.

The weather is hot and the place very dusty. Gen. Gardner ottered to surrender it lien. Banks would allow him to march out with guns, provisions, but the offer was declined. One of Gen.

Bank's Staff arrived at New Orleans, wounded in the leg, and reported that the black flag was raised by the rebels. On the 29th the navy bombarded the town all day and night without response. Gen. Hanks, in an official report, dated be fore Port Hudson, May 30, gives an account of the attack on that place similar to the one already published. Speaking of the negro troops he says They answered every expectation, meir conduct was heroic.

No troops could be more determined or more daring. They made during the day three charges upon the batteries of the enemy, suffering very heavy losses, and holding their position at nightfall with the other troops on the right of our line. Thh highest commendation is bestowed upon them by the officers in command on the rignt. Whatever doubt may have existed heretofore as to the efficiency of organizations of this character, the history of the day proves conclusively to those who were in a condition to observe the conduct of these regiments, that the government will find in this class of troops effective supporters and defenders. The severe test to which they were subjected, and the determined manner in which they encoun tered the enemy, leave upon my mind no doubt ot their ultimate success.

They require only good officers, commands ot limited numbers and careful discipline to make tbem excellent soldiers. Our losses from the 23d to this date, in killed, wounded and missing are nearly one 1,000, including, I deeply regret to say, some of the ablest officers ot the corps." Advices per Catawaba state reinforcements trom Jrsrashear uity ana otner points, to tne number of 6000 reached Gen. Banks on the 30th and 31st. Our troops there outnumbered the rebels four to one.

They were supplied with corn meal, but have few other provisions, and a small supply of ammunition. It was believed that it would be impossible for them to hold out long. A Jackson dispatch of tne 3d, to the Mobile Tribune, says Port Hudson is closely besieged.

A dispatch from Memphis says the steamer Luminary; from Young's Point at 8 o'clock on Friday evening, has arrived. She brings the following: i-a Can Kimha.lL.

with 3.000 men. was sent nn iA Yazoo river to Sataria 30 miles below 'm City. Ee arrived there on the 4th, and learned ikt a rebel force, under 'Gen. Wirt Adams. was not far off, and immediately marched to meet him." At 10 o'clock on the morning of Thursday he came up with the pi of the enemy.

i A brisk fight ensued, which lasted 30 min utes, when the enemv gave way and a total rout ensued. Our loss was one killed and 17 wounded. We captured 100 prisoners. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded was con siderable. The rebels were 2000 strong.

There was no change before the enemy's works at Gen. Johnston is still reported to be on the Big Black, endeavoring to cross below the bridge, with an army of 20,000 men. Gen. Os erhaus was watching sis movements with a sufficient force to checkmate any demonstration he may make. A rumor was in circulation that Pemberton had requested Gen.

Grant, to permit women and children to pass through his Over 200 head of cattle and mules bad been turned Joose on account ol the scarcity ot forage. The condition of affairs was favorable. Our troops are impressed with the idea that Vicks-burgh must fall, and have no fears of failure. Our losses are exaggerated. The total since the crossing of the Mississippi does not ex ceed 7,000.

Evansville, papers say that a steamer from Yicksburgn the 2nd, at midnight, had passed there. The steamer went down with nurses ana nospitai stores, xc. tone arrived at loung Point on the 30th, where she was informed that no supplies were needed. Our loss in the recent battles was 12,500. Per-mptory orders had been given that no State tessel or oi tne niteu states oamiary commission could be permitted to land in the Yazoo or in the Chickasaw bayon, the base of supplies for Grant's army.

However, they went to lien, urant neauquarters ana iouna wounded of his army omfortably cared for in commodious hospitals. Twenty-three surgeons with nurses were left to assist. An unofficial telegranf from the vicinity of Ticksburgh, received Thursday, states that the rebels in small force attacked Milliken's Bend and Young's Point on the 6th inst, but were decisively repulsed at both points. The colored troops on the former place at first pave way, but npon hearing that those of their number who were captured were killed, they rallied with great fury and routed the enemy. The Tribune has a Vicksbnrgb letter of the 6ih.

It gives a hopeful view ot the progress of the seige. reports the repulse of a sortie against one ot onr mining parties on the aight of the It demonstrates that Johnston cannot possibly get near enough to strike Grant without Wng extinguished, and says the garrison will won oe compelled oy iamine to surrender. The following has been received from Wash ington, dated the 10th Two dispatches were received to-night from Gen. Grant, addressed to different gentlemen, ot high official positions. The dispatches are dated Monday, the 8th, a much shorter time in obtaining advices from Yicksburgh than heretofore.

An imoortant fact, and one which has occa sioned anxiety, is derived trom them, namely: That Gen. Grant was in communication with Gen. "Banks as late as the 4th at which time Port Hudson was closely invested. Gen. Grant reDorts what ia already known or be lieved, that Gen.

Johnston is concentrating tmnna with whom to nnerate against him. and Imeiuioos a report that three divisions are I moving from Gen. Bragg to reinforce John- inton. Gen. Breckinridge is known to have joinea nun.

"Vicksburgh is still closely invested. The seige is progressing favorably. The tone of the dispatches is represented to be such as to show that Grant tears neither enemy in bis front nor in. his He will pro tect his lines at all hazards. It is presumed that be did not know at the dale of his tele gram whether or not he was to be rein f4 forced.

An official dispatch received Tuesday, from Major Gen.

Rosecrans, dated the 9th, says laSLSt evening, a dispatch from Col J. B. Baird, commanding the post at Franklin was received, as follows Two men came in camp about dark, dressed in our uniforms with horse equipments to correspond, saying that they were Col. Anton. Inspector General, and Maj.

Dunlap Assistant, having an order from Adjutant Gen. Towns-hend to inspect the out posts, bat; their conduct was so singular that we arrested them, but they insisted that it was very important to go to Nashville to-night. Col. Baird asked it there were any such persons in the army, and if so their description, replied at once that they were probably spies, and directed him to order a court, and if they proved to be spies to execute them immediately, which was done, and tbey were tried and condemn ed to be bung, the sentence was carried into effect before 10 o'clock this morning. On being discovered they confessed they were officers in the rebel army, one a colonel named Lawrence W.

Orton, formerly Crton Williams who "claims to be a first cousin of Robert Lee's, and is said to have been chief of artillery on Gen. Bragg's staff, and former ly to have been on Gen. Scott's staff of the 2d regular cavalry. Virginia. ANOTHER RAID BY OUii OAVALKY.

Col. Kilpatrick's cavalry brigade arrived Friday evening from Yorktown via Urbanna and the Northern neck. Since leaving Ur banna tbey have gathered 500 horses and mules, 35 vehicles, and 250 of whom all but 50 are valuable field hands. Maj. Stokes of the 40th Lieut.

Wilhelm of the Baltimore Light Artillery, and a member ot the rebel signal corps were also taken pris oners and brought here. The Times' correspondent with Col. Kilpat rick says the rebels bad taken special pains to capture his command, and while the rebel citizens bad destroyed the bridge over the Dragon river Stewart with a large force was waiting at a ford some six miles further up to force them to cross at a narrow place, but our pioneers built a bridge over which our forces crossed without difficulty, and then destroyed it. The letter from Stewart captured in a rebel mail, was directed to the guerrilla Col Jones, who was surprised by Col. Davis and captured in his own bouse.

The citizens of the country to which Col. Kilpatnck went, expressed themselves pleased with the conduct of our The result of the raid is that a complete circuit was made of the rebel army, destruction of millions of dollars worth of railroad property and material, and capture of hundreds of horses and mules and 40 wagon loads of provisions, 1,000 contrabands, and the demoralization of the blacks throughout the whole country. The Urbana correspondence of the Herald dated the 2nd, states that Col. Kilpatrick with two regiments of cavalry reached Urbana on the 1st inst, from their raid. At Saluda they captured the colors of the 12th Yirginia Infantry, and scoured the country around that place for ten miles capturing horses, mules, carriages and sleighs.

Occasional skirmishing was had with rebel guerrillas on their route, but no fighting of magnitude. The Times' dispatch, from the Army of the Potomac, dated afternoon of the 5th, says affairs here remain unchanged. The position taken by Howe's division on the south bank of the Rappahannock on Friday evening is still peacefully held. The only hostile manifestation during the last 24 hours has been an occasional Bhell from the bills on this side. Our skirmishers bold the line ot Deep Ruu and the Bowling Green road, while the enemy are in plain sight about a quarter of a mile further on.

No large bodies of their troops are in sight. About a mile directly in front of our position is a battery in sight, but this is all we can nee. There is evidence, however, that the enemy is closely watching our movements. Our troops lie on their arms in an open plain cov ered by several batteries of those fierce brass Napoleons. A large detail of men is, to-day, engaged in destroying the enemy's rifle-pits on the banks of the river.

I can safely say that no general engagement is yet imminent. There are indica tions, though not very numerous, that ere the week is over there may be noteworthy news, though from what and in what shape no one stems to know The Herald's Washington dispatch says the xth Vermont regiment were thrown forward as skirmishers and suffered the only casualties inflicted by the enemy yesterday. The enemy are constantly busy and large columns seem to be moving up and taking position to await further operations of our force. The result of the reconnoissance thus far has been to show that the enemy are still, in large force on the opposite side of the river, and no indications can be discovered that any considerable portion ot Lee's army has been withdrawn for operation elsewhere. The Commercial's Washington letter of the 7th states that Gen.

Hooker's telegram to the President says the rebel retreat was probably made for sanitary reasons. The letter adds there is no reason to suppose the rebel army is preparing to invade the North. The same letter says the rumber of returning troops that passed through Washington in May was 19,494. As a partial set off, five thousand soldiers from Convalescent camp have been sent to the field. From what can be ascertained from persons arriving from the Rappahannock, a division went over the river at Franklin's Landing last night, and the rebel rifle-pits, along the banks have been destroyed.

Earthworks have been thrown up with the view.it is probable, of preventing a night attack and to shield our men if the enemy should open a cannonade. Fredericksburg is Btill held by the enemy, and no attempt has been made ty our troops to take' it. Tb" troops we have thrown over are not far from the town. The rebels have not yet fired their guns at us. It would be improper to mention the whereabouts of the several army corps.

The movements of both armies are involved in mystery. Tuesday'afternoon the enemy opened several of their crest batteries upon our works, and the forces on the plain west of the river and south of Fredericksburgh. Tbey also threw several shells on th.s side of the river. Our batteries replied to them. There was no loss on our side.

The cannonading lasted only a few minutes. This was the first time the enemy have opened their gunu on our new position. The respective lines remain the same as Tuesday morning. It is said the enemy has but one corps opposed to our front below the town. A gentleman connected with the army just returned from Martingburg, says a re-connoisance having been made as farasStras-burgh, no enemy was discovered.

No apprehensions of a rebel' raid existed there, and our troops, however, are awake to all contingencies. A Washington dispatch says there is no change in the position of our own and the rebel forces en the Rappahannock. Twenty pieces are visible in the rebel batteries opposite our left some of them twenty pounders parrotts. A deserter who came over yesterday states that the rebels had two grand divisions in front of the division of the 6th corps which has crossed the river. The rebels appear to be in full force in and about Fredericksburg.

A BBILEIANT CAVA LB BATTLE. A severe engagement took place Tuesday between our cavalry, and that ot the rebels under Gen. Stewart. The locality at which it occurred was Beverly's Ford on the Rappahannock, five miles above Rappahan- ock Station, and about the same distance be low the Sulphur Springs. The Times special dispatch, dated Beverly Ford, evening of the 9th, says You can record the greatest cavairy ngnt of the war.

Gen. Pleasanton this morning at daylight crossed the Rappahannock in two columns, bis right at Beverly's Ford and his left at Kelly's snr miles Deiow. me fords were captured without loss. Beverly's Ford was taken by a spirited dash of the 8 th 111. and the 8th N.

Y-. and we on the south side before the enemy were aware of it Gen. Gregg took Kelly a iford-wttn a sngnt skirmish and no loss. The right column was under lien, tjntora, nd he had nroceeded only a mile from the river when he came upon Gen. Jones' whole brigade, who had just shaken themselves out of their sleep in time to get ready to receive US.
