"TUESDAY ...... THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON ULLyY: .-- APRIL 14. 1863, “N@- READING MATTER ON BVERY PAGS. BEE OUTSIDE YOR INTERESTING TELX- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Jatelligencer argees that it is a greatmis- take to suppos thut a great revolutionary movement like that i: itiated by the disunion leaders can be man&ge by the ordinary devi- ces of party, and quotes from Edward Everett o ebow that it is the d. ty of the whole country o Le engaged in the st: aggle, The Chronicle presents extracts from the late speech of Edward Everett before the Union Leagre of Reston, to show that he is not the conditional patriot that the New York World would make him. «The Chronicle commends heir perusal to the “World and to euch less open teachers of secession as the Nativnal In- te Tigencer.” OUR MILITARY BUDGET ane GEN. FOSTER’S POSITION. No later advices trom Gen. Foster's army had reached here up to noon to-day. Though hus situation is admitted to be critical, the ac- counts sent us yesterday by the Associated Press, representing a necessity for his surren- der, must have been but conjectural. We ap- prebend that Gen. F. himself realizes the ex- istence of no such emergency, from the fact | that the Government here has been informed by him that having bven three times sum- moned to surrender, his answer to the third such summons was & declaration that he ° would hold the bearers of the next flag of trace bringing him any such message, as it Was evident that the purpose of sending, them was but to spy into his camp and means of de- fence. He concluded his reply with an invita- tion to them to try and take Washington (N.C.) sad his force, if they were so very anxious to have them. THE RECONNOLSSANCE AT CHARLESTON. We ure very certain that the Government are by no means disheartened at the result of the late reconnoissance in force at Charleston, as the gold “bear”-ing ‘bulls’? of Wall Street assume. Why they do rot gee it in the light of @ disaster is very plain. Thus, it was demon- strated, Ist. That the Ericsson monitors can stand for three hours the concentrated fire of five hundred pieces of artillery, unsurpassed in excellence and in the manner in which they were handled, without the loss of a man om board either of them, or damage to more than one of them which was not so repuired as to render them again fit for action within twenty. four hours. The single one placed hore du come dat for more than that time—the Nahant—will be ready to resume her position in the fleet in a week, at farthest. 2d. 1t has developed the nature and position i of the obstructions placed in the channels by | the rebels; important facts before unknown to | us. It turns out that they are such as our en- gineers believe they can in due time overcome. Machinery and other preparations to that end are already in process of construction, and will be pushed te completion with great energy. When completed, they should enable our mon- itors to steam past Sumter to the reduction of Charleston, with tar less damage to them thaa they eustained in the recent engagement, Sd. It has secured for cur blockading squad ron an anchorage ground previously unknown, which contracts the length of the line to be bDlockaded quite two thirds, and thus greatly | increases ite impenetrability. AU these results having been achieved with the Joss of but a single ship of the squadron engaged—the smallest and most inefficient— and with but one man killed and half a dozen wounded, The reader will-perceive that the authorities here are probably justified in taking @ very different view of the affair from that insisted on by those in Wall Street who still seek to discredit the (tovernment’s securities. TUE RICHMOND BEHAD RIOTS. Capt. John U. Kreidler, of the 165th Ohio regiment, late a prisoner of war in Richmond, Writes to us from Annapolis: «I know there was a riot, and a serious one, tor even part of the guard of Libby prison were taken up town to aid in quelling a asl heard them telling of their exploits after ra- turning. And, besides, I saw a number of women returning from it, carrying all manner of store goods in their arms, which could not have been obtained in any other way. “Col. Stewart was in the hospital in another part of the prison, and may actually have seen , more than we did, as we had only a view to- | wards the river side of Libby prison. All the non-commissioned officers and privates con- nected with the prisen admitted freely to us that such a thing had occurred, although the Richmond papers (except the Whig) were s' leat with regard to it, The Petersburg Ex- prees, of April7th, copies from the Whig, in which it says, ‘that about 500 women and over 5,000 of the male sex were collected ata given point psrticipating in the riot.’” THE LATEST FLE ROM _ CHARLESTON—OUR OFF THE BAR. 2 The Richmond Whig, of Saturday, has | nothing later than the 9th from Charleston.

The Dudley Buok brings the following further intelligence from North Carolina: ‘The etatements that reinforcements had re- turned to Newbern, is denied. There was some doubt, however, in regard to their ability to escape the rebels, A remark of one of the Ofiicers at Newbern, just before the Dudley Buck put off, on Thursday evening, corractly indicated the state of affairs: “If our forces Teach us we are safe; if not we are gone,” Trustworthy accounts from the fo-ees which were retreating on Newbern state that there had been no fighting of importance between tuem and the revels. Had, however, our troops crossed the bridge over Swift creek, which they in‘ended to cross, they could not haye avoided capiure. Newhbern is so strongly fortified, as to be safe with a moderate garrison, Three gunboats—the Miami, the Delaware and the Valley Uity—were dispaiched from Fortress Monroe on ‘Monday or Tuesday last to Little Washington. The Valley City only passed up. She carried no troops, but it is believed she took a quantity ot ammunition. The Miami had not gone up No intelligence had reached Newbern concern- | ing the Delaware. ‘The gunboats at little Washington are stated to ba the Lonisiana, the Commodore Hull, and | the Walley City.

These prisoners are the same who attempted to escape atew weeks ago. Kilroy was caught at that time in the act of escaping. Harding and Tompkins succeeded in getting away for a short time, but were recaptured. They wereall manacled and putinto the cell called “the iron cage,” aud trem this cell they escaped by cutting'a hole , ina corner opening into a furnace, through | which they puszed to 4 room on the lower tloor, {| and thence by a window into the prison yard. There they found a sand <creen, and placed it against the wall, and from the top of the screen | reached the top of the wall, and so managed to | climb over and escape.
