THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY.......... -MARCH 3>, 1863. | “S27 BEADING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE. GRAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. ‘The Intelligencer notices that the impatient and unressenable cry of « On to Richmond" is mo longer heard, and hopes that it is because those who raised it have learned better, and net merely because they have got McClellan Out of the way. The Chronicle urges the importance of the campaign of the West, and reccommends that our armies shall be transferred to the valley of the Mississippi, :ad Richmond be let alone for the present. OUR MILITARY BUDGEF seg IMPORTANT FROM OUR FRONT. See THE REBELS DESTROY THE BRIDGE AT BULL RUN. Se ae FITZHUGH LEE AND THE IST, 6TH AND7TH VIRGINIA CAVALRY LURKING IN ii THE WOODS ABOUT FRONT ROYAL. Sag TWO OF THEIR SPIES CAPTURED. Sees eS THE REBELS§tPON A FORAGING AND NE- * GRO-HUNTING RAID, eee gene On Saturday last, about 6 p. m., the rebels burned the temporary bridge with which our forces had replaced the noted “Stone Bridge” over Bull Run, destroyed in the first campaign that occurred there. Yesterday and the day before it was believed on the front that the re- + bels certainly contemplated a raid either into Loudon or upon Vienna, the weight of the in- formation obtainable indicating that the Ist, 6th, and 7th Virginix cavalry, under Fitz Hugh Lee, were lurking about Front Poyal with their horses conccaled in the woods, and their scouts and pickets ranging down among the Bull Kan mountains. Two of them were caught very near our lines under circumstan- ces leading to the conclusion that they had come there as spies. They professed to be trying to get to Alexandria to see friends. Their names are Robert Ballinger and John P. Gerham ; the former an Alexandrian, if we are not mistaken. We hear further that the rebel agents are | collecting all the grain and other supplies on which they can lay their hands in Loudon and ; Fauquier, and also snatching up and hurrying South all the negro blacksmiths in those coun- ties. These tacts lead us to the impression that the presence of the force of rebel cavalry at Front Royal is designed rather to aid these gmpressments outside of our lines, than to make a raid wpon them.

C., March 21, 1303,¢ Sim: Ihave the honor to report to the De- partment that about midnight of the Isth inst. the English iron steamer Georgianna attempted to run into Charleston through Maifitt’s chan- nel, The alarm had been given by the U.S. yacht America, Acting Master Baker, who also fired into her;and the U.S. steamer Wissahickon, Lieut.

' Upon this the Wissahickon ceased firing, but the captain of the ship, taking advantage there- of, pointed his vessel towards the shore, which ; which was quite pear, and* succeeded in run- ning her aground, and allon board of her es- caped tothe land side.

LONGWORTH’S CATAWBA WINES, SPARKLING AND STILL. FRED. S. COZZENS, Sole Agent, Washington, D.C., and 73 Warren et., New York THESE WINES, independent of their excellent qualities as Table Wines, are also highly recom- mended for medicinal use. They are entirely pure, wholesome, and, at the same time, economical. Among the numerous recommendations received from members of the Faculty, the following letters may be cited ; Sanitary Oommisgios, Washington, D. C., April 2, 1362. F, 8, Cozzens, Esa.: Sin—With some difficuity I have got from hospi- | tal surgeons sufficient data wherewith to found an estimate of the value of the “Still Catawba” wine ; of Mr. Longworth as an article of hospital stores. It seems to be especially valuable as @ tonic and | stimulant in the stage of convalescence from acute disease. It is generally acceptable to the stomach, cidulous quality renders it grateful tothe The “Sparkling Catawba’ shares with other true sparkling wines the characteristic of agrecing well with the stomach, Yours truly, J. FOSTER JENKINS. | Cryornmatr, December 17, 1861, Dsa» Sin—In answer to your note, I will say I very much prefer the Catawba wine to any other aleoholic stimulant in Typhoid fever, The acid is very acceptable to fever patients. I always dilute it with water; two or three parts of water to one of wine, and add white sugar to the taste of the patient. I have used it in many cases of consump tion, and have generally found less emaciation than usual, aad less disposition to diarrhcra in the last stages of the disease. Yours reapectfully, J. F.
