THE REBELS THREATENING WILLIAMSBURG. Fortress Monrox, March 31.—Gen. Keys arrived here this morning from Washington, and left immediately for his command at York- town. It is reported from Yorktown to-day that the Tebels are in our front at Williamsburg, threat- ening an attack, which may be expected atany moment. They are said to number 20,000, but this is probably an exaggeration. The steamer State of Maine is expected to arrive to-night with a large number of ex- changed prisoners from Richmond, ineluding a number of politi prisoners. The Richmond Examiner of March 30th, con- tains the rebel account of the attempt of two Federal gunboats to pass the Vicksburg batter- ies on the night of thegsth. Also a dispatch from General Bragg, of the 27th, claiming that General Ferrest made a successful visit to Bentwood, Teunessee, burnt the bridge, took | all the property and arms there, and captured 200 prisoners, including 35 officers. The reported capture of the Federal Gene- | ral Carter's brigade by Humphrey Marshall is said not to be confirmed.

The «‘Sunflower™’ Expedition a Failure— Admiral Porter compelled te Turn Back Rebel Gunboat« Attack our Ganbeats— The Expedition Gene Back to oung's Point. PHILADELPHIA, April 1.—A ®pecial dispatch from the Cincinnati Bulletin says: News from Vicksburg and vicinity has an unfavorable aspect, Dispatches received here state that the expedition through Steele’s and Biack Bayou into the Upper Yazoo is a failure. Admirai Porter succeeded in getting through both bayous with the gunboats, and proceeded or 30 miles further in Deer and Rolling orks, when he encountered a small force ef rebels, who £0 annoyed him with sharpshoot- ers and obstructions in the channel, that fur- ther progress was impossible without co-ope- ratien of the infantry, which came up next day. Theenemy had in the meantime put trees into the stream, mzking it impassable. They an- noyed the gunboats otherwise, and seemed to be gathering in considerable force. Reintorce- ments of intantry were marched to their aseist— ance on Monday, and coming up with the beleagured boats found the lat'er hemmed com- pletely by obstructionsinfrontaudrear. Skir- mishing continued all day, when the rebels being reinforced,the gunboats were withdrawn, and commenced to retreat, the whole force having embarked on transports near the head ot Black Bayou for their return to Young's Point. Federal loss twelye privates killed and wounded, including Mr. Sullivan, an engineer, killed by & shell. Rebel loss unknown, but supposed to be considerable, FROM KENTUCKY. The Grand Invasion Dwindling Down to a Cattle and Horse Stealing Kaid—The Rebels Skedaddling. LExINGTON, Ky., March 30.—{ Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.}—Military matters in this department are being pushed forward with greatenergy. General Gilmore commande in person. The only danger now feared in Lexington is from wandering binds of Cluke’s marauders. One hundred and fifty of them were reported near Richmond. A tew were captured by Walker’s men, whilst crossing the Kentucky on Saturday. His command still hovers about Owingsville. Nothing heard from Marshall. The grand invasion, so extensively intended, has dwindled down to a cattle and horse-steal- ing raid. Pegram fied at the approach of Gil- more, rying off cattle variously estimated from one to two thousand. He left Stanford Friday night, hotly pursued by Woolford, with all our mounted force, who left on Sunday. Woolford was twelve hours behind. Our in- fantry are following to-day. It is reported that the rebels were so closely pressed that they abandoned all the cattle and trains, which, with 125 men, were captured by Woolford’s advance. The rumor that Morgan had crossed the Cumberland and was marching on Stanford is not credited. The whereabouts of Marshall is still a myth. That Wiley Falstaff, finding the climate u | wholesome, has no doubt imitated his pon- | derous prototype and found discretion the better | part of valor. The prospect of a battle dimin- ishes, unless General Gilmoreovertakes Pegram betore he reaches the Cumberland. The war cry is onward and seuthward, and Kentucky and Tennessee shont for joy at the coming relief, FROM MURFREESBORO’, Position of the Rebel Army—Rebel Troops and Citizens within the Rebel Lines on Hali Rations. MURFREESHORO’, Tenn., March 30.—[Dis- pitch to the Cincinnati Gazette.}—Reliable hews from the rebel army wus received to- ds Polk’s corps advanced yesterday to Guy's Gap, Js miles sonth, on’ the Shelby- ville pike. Hard: corps is at Shelbyvaile. | The rebels there have been on half rations for | three weeks. The is freat dissatisiaction ng them. Everybody in the ranks are sious for peace. The rebel forage trains have been abandoned. They now only forage with single mules in small parties. Country people within the rebel lines are reduced to halfrations. Families are each numbered and stores inventoried, and the excess over sho | allowance is appropriated for the use of the army. No beef has been issued for the last week at Shelbyville. All the foregoing may be relied upon, as it is 's unknown to each other. Eight regiments of Morgan’s command are at Liberty. Morgan lies at the Armstrong House, McMinuyiile, with his jingers shot away and wounded through the shoulder. Country people don’t believe the rebels of this army purpose invading Kentucky. Gavy- in detachments will make raids into the for recruits, but ne infantry will accom- any. Morgan's guerrillas came near here last hight, running off negroes and wounding one ngerously. He is here in the hospital. This, ul present, is their principal business. Weare having snow and rain. or Europe.

NEWS FROM FLORIDA.—The Boston arrived | a, Hilton Head trom Jacksonville Tuesday. negro troops had driven the Rebels some General Fin- negan had assembled a brigade of Georgia troops, and had demanded that the “Yanke-s” should evacuate the city, but our torces “couldn't see it.’ On Monday, according to the Savannah Republican, an engagement took place between the Confederate light batteries and the Federal gunboats. The Republican says: We have no particulars, except that there was no loss on our side, and we poured the shot and shell into the enemy for some considerable time, it is hoped with good effect. From the negro raid into Flerida we look for nothing serious. Wé only hope that the enemy will take it into thejr heads to concentrate their entire force of “American citizens of African descent” at Jacksonville. It will prove a great convenience to the owners of those deluded victims. They will then have some prospect ot receyering their stolen property, provided they canbe got far enough from the gunboats to be caught. The idea of their doing any serious fighting against white men is <imply ridiculous. We hope Mr. Thayer will succeed in his scheme of Florida colonization, and tha- he will accompany his colonists, in order ‘hs We may bag the whole party, white ind bi=ck. without going too tar to hunt for them. a7 “Horrible, most horrible !"—The Roston Post perpetrates this, acknowledging tha: Punch in his lowest decadence of wit, never said a worse thing, which is true: Quilp being asked his age. stood upon his re. served rights and refused totestify.
