Engagement with Rebel Cavalry near Nashville—Surrender of Three Hundred Federal Troops. NasnyiLix, March 25.—The rebel cayalry force, under Forrest, Wheeler and Wharton, crossed Harpeth river this morning, six miles above Franklin. Part of the rebel force attacked our troops at Brentwood, nine miles from Nashville, on the Franklin road Our troops, under command of Lieut. Col. Bloodgood, con- sieting of parties of the 33d Indiana, 2d and 19th Wisconsin, in all 300 men, after a feeble resistance, with only one man killed and four wounded, surrendered to the enemy, and all the Government property there was Captured. General Green Clay Smith was sent from Franklin, and came up with the rebel force and pursued them six miles west of Brent- wood, where he met the entire rebel force, numbering 5,000 men with his small force of only 500 men. Nevertheless he succeeded in retaking all the captured wagons and ammu- nition, but being attacked by superior. num- bers, he was compelled te destroy them. Hgving done this he then fell back, when re- inforcements reached him, but the rebels had decamped. We lost in this affair one officer and about fifteen mea killed, wounded and missing. The rebels lost about ten killed and wounded, and over fifty rebel prisoners have been brought in. The enemy’s cavalry haye teen within four miles of the city on the Hard- ing and Charlotte pike, to-day. THE WAR 1 KENTUCKY. Reported Rebel Movements. LovisviLte, March 25.—We have had the usual quantity of exciting rnmors respecting rebel movements to-day, but none of them are traceable to any authentic source, and the au- thorities at headquarters are advised of no change in the rebel status since last night. The Democrat says that the rebels in large force, under Breckinridge, are at Harrodsburg, and that the Federal forces, under Gen. Carter, are faHing back on Frankfort. Breckinridge is reported to have issued a proclamation de- claring the intention of enforcing the southern conscription act, and {rumor says the act is being rigidly enforced in those portions of Ken- tucky now occupied by the rebel forces. The Rebel Privateer Chapman, San Francisco, March 25.—The papers centinue publishing biographical notices of the parties captured in this harbor on the pri- | yateer schooner Chapman, showing them all to_be noted -ecessionists, The prisoners are still at Fort Alcatros, having undergone a military examination, with what result is not known.

The foreign papers of the 7th inst ropa, are almost wholly engro: details relating to that long-expected, that brilliant, that joyful event, the marriage of the Prince of Wales, which was to be consnm- mated on the day of the steamer’s sailing. The whole kingdom of Great Britaiu is represented to be in a blaze of unprecedented enthusiasm. “Nothing else is talked of,” says a leading journal. All the large towns and cities were preparing to contribute something towards the great festivity. Manchester takes a holiday. The ladies of Lee stow upon the Princess Alexandra a splendid bracelet, which is wholly composed of diamonds. The ladies of Edin- burg do the same, and the ci afeast tothe pocr.

The Bishop of, Oxiord has enjoined gen- eral rejoicings in his diocese. But itis useless to particularize in this line. The universal excitement is sufficiently evi- denced in the display of Loudon alone. There, the theatres were to be opened gratis on the wedding night; 20.000 volunteers were to line the streets during the procession; a diamond present of the value of $50,000 was to be pre- sented to the Princess; single illuminations of private establishments were to cost in some cases $5,400; the ex-royal family of France were to be among the spectators, and such a furore was there to witness the pageant to the best adyantage that $2,250 had been paid for the use of the Windows on the first floor of one house, and even a single window accommoda- tion had been rented for the enormous sum of $4,750! ANOTHER PRIZE.—The revenue steamer Reli- ance, Capt. McGowan, arrived at this port yes- terday, having in tow the sloop Flymg Cloud, captured in Hocper’s Straits, Tuesday after- nocn. The sloop was discovered lying at anchor in Norman’s Cove, when an officer and boat’s crew were sent to examine it. As soon asthe boat was seen the sloop raised anchor and gotunder way, but the boat overhauled und captured her. She had on board four men and an assorted cargo, consisting of whiskey, dry goods, hats, boots and shoes, saltpetre, gun- powder and a large quantity of percussion caps. Two ofthe packages were directed to Major E. Griswold, provost marshal, Rich- mond, Va. The parties on board are Alex’r Hurley, Winfield H. Hurley, N. J. Rawliegh and George Smith. The sloop was left last night under the guns of Fort McHenr;, and with her crew and cargo will be turned over to the government authorities to-day—Bualt. Sun. Gold Fiuctuations at New York.

These are the simple facts: No torce of revels of any importance, are in southeastern Ken- tucky; nor could any snch find subsistence there. Cluke was endeayoring to escape through Pound Gap, and would be excerd- ingly fortunate to avoid being cut off by Uol. Wileen’s party. Gilmore's organization of scouts and spies SS | the Inst few weeks, bas been admirable and effective. The real invading force of rebels is the same command- ed by Gen. Pegram, that were prevented from co-operating with Cluke, on account of bad roads and high rivers, impassable fer artillery and infantry. Clake, with cavalry, crossed the Cumberland below, and hovered about Winchester, expecting reinforcements, until forced out via Hazel Green toward Pound Gap. Pegram’s forces are counted and his plans known perfec ly well by the Depart- ment. The only fear is that he will not carry them out. If, as et ppaelee) he has crossed the Cumberland, and there is no hitch in our military arrangements, his fate will be easy to predict, and the peopleot Kentucky may await the resnlt with confidence.

The indications are that a route by v of Yazoo Pass will be selected by the greater part of the army, but the plan is liabie to be changed at any moment. The Lake Providence project is abandoned for the pres- vat. Of course you know there is no founda- tion for the rumor started at Memphis, and telegraphed from Cairo, that the National iron-clads had entered Lake Providence. When an iron-clad can trayerse a half mile of levee and dry land, it will do to telegraph such nonsense. The water is not yet let intc the town, but will be when we abandon the position. It has aeney, troken throrgh the levee Grand Luke, ten miles turther up the river, and the backwater already sets into Lake Providence, and backs up almosi a foot 01 the embankment inside the leyee. Matters at Young’s Point are geing ahead backward. The dam at the mouth of the canal, and the levees at the side, have given away, and a torrent of water from the Mississippi ‘s flooding the low lands on the point toward Vicksturg. Gangs of men are busily en in closing the breaks, and the work will toe night resume a satisfactory condition. The health of the army at the Point is improving; here it is excellent. FROM TENNESSEE. Reported Engagement near Murfreesboro’ —300 Rebels Killed and Wounded and 500 Captured. We learn from the Nashville Union that the engineer of the freight train, which arrived at Nashville from Murfreesboro’ late on Saturday evening, after the arrival of the peseneer train, stated that there was more or less skirmishing on our front all that day, in which one of our divisions was engaged. Late in the day @ lot of prisoners, ERE to be 500 in number, were brought in, afd 300 rebels were said to have been killed and wounded. Our army is said to be in splendid condition, and almost impreg- nably fortified. The correspondent of the Oin- cinnati Times, who came ap on the passenger train from Murfreesboro’ on Saturday, con- firms the report of the skirmishing, and states that a battle was‘then progressing far more terrible than the previous one. Eithera bloody struggle isgoing on, or the rebels are attempting to make a retreat by feigning an attack.—Louis- ville Journal, 23d. MINISTERIAL ContTUMAacY,—On. Wednesday last, in the Philadelphia Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in session at West Chester, Pa.,a resolution was presented by the Rev. Pennel Coombe, proposing that the Conference should reaffirm its loyalty to the general government, sheuld express its inten- tion to pray in its behalf, and should further avow its abhorrence of the rebellion. On the succeeding day those who bad not been present then had the opportunity of yo- ting—the Conference requiring its members, in all cases, to vote one way orthe other. To this rule Rey. Sylvanus Townsend refnsed to com- ply, giving as his reasons for so doing that he did not think that sach questions should be in-. troduced into a religious pay and at the same ‘ime expressing his entire wil lingness to watlefy all of his loyalty anywhere outside of the Oon- ference. " * On Saturday the matter was brought before the Conference, and & lengthy debate ensued, some of the participants expressing the opinion that the reverend gentleman should be sus- pened for one year, on account of unsound mind, and others that his election to elder’s oiders, to which he was entitled, should be re~ fused. The case was finally referred to a com- mittee, which is to report before adjournment of the Conference. eg No matter what may be said of the bls & iments, they have proven themeelvee “colore that wont ron.”
