OUR MILITARY BUDGEr Se gas FROM TENNESSEE. a ! OFFICIAL CONFIBMATION OF THE SUCCESS OF THE BXPEDITION TO CELINA. Sg THE TOWN DESTROYED. ES ‘The following despatch was received yester- day: Orxcrxwatr, April 23.— Maj. Gen. A. W. Hal- | leck, General-in- Chief : The following despatch has just been received: “ Headquarters Lowisvitle, April 22.—The ex- | pedition to Celina was entirely succeasful. Col, | Graham reports throngh (ten. Hobson that they destroyed the town, 100,000 pounds of bacon, 10,000 busheis of wheat, 10,060 bushels of corn, 100 barrels of whisky, 160 barrels of flour, a considerable quantity of sugar, coffee, tea, malt and other stores, and 40 boats, which had been, cused in the transporting of supplies from Burksyilie and other points on the Camber- iand. Rebels report a loss of ninety killed, but oi. Graham, commander of the expedition, is et the opinion that the number is greater. We had ove wounded and one missing. This re- sult is higbly creditable to the troops engaged. Indeed, it was a perfect success, “ (Signed) T, Brig. Gen.” A. ajor General. FROM THE FRONT. Fainrax Court Hovsg, April 25.—To ':- Stor: Allis qnieton our front, though smal! paities or squads of rebel guerilla cayalry are seen daily by qur pickets and scouts. Wehaye rumors of a smallrebel camp somewhere tr-- ‘ween Leerburg and Drainesyille, and another : thet there is a cavalry ferce in the mountains, | betour patrols from Warrenten out from our | own front, and frem Harper's Ferry in the di- , rection of Leeeburg, do not find traces of the j presence of any more of the enemy than aere and there squads ef from two or throe to half a dozen guerillas prowling in the woods and fastnesses by day, to plunder the inhabitan’ by night. —_——_+ eee LUOREZIA.—Lucresia Borgia was given la=t | night by the Grau Company in a style to make amendment in the fullest for any disappoint mentin Dinerah. Lorini and Susini were both somewhat under the weather with ttoarseness, but with the scarce perceptible drawback inthis + respect their parts could not have been better ! fendered. Morensi's Orsini was most charm ing, and her fine organ appeared to great ad vantage in the Brindisi, which was warmly ap- Pplauded, and its repetition insisted on. The { triurph of the evening, however, was with | Brignoll as Gennaro. Neverhave we heard him in better voice. In the duet with Lucrezia { (lst act) and in the trio (24 act) be was greatly | applaaded, and with Lorini and Sasini cailed i before the curtain. The finale was grand; | though a laughable instance of Brignoli’s care | of his@andsome self was noticed in his declining ; @ tumble npon the floor in the dying scene. He ! took it easy in a chair, thus Saving bis person | and his good clothes. { To-night La Juice and the last of the Gran | Opera Company, and ci* community show | their appreciation of th f»-t by a rozh for! seats at Metzerott’s, On the whole, it must be admitted that Mr. Grau has given us a better opera season than ; we have ever before had in this city. Tre Leak Discovenrp—a correspondent | of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the | mode whereby the Rebels at Fredericksburg i obtain such speedy knowledge of our contem-. i plated movements has at last been discovered. A few days ago, it says, one of the guards in | the town of Faimoutti, stationed outside a | dwelling adjoining a brick church on the river i bank, heard 8 clicking like that of a telegraph | iasirument. .An. investigation was ordered, | and on opening a:door he discovered a party | of four or five persons, one ot whom was seat- ed at a telegraph instrument, sending messages | by a submarine wire across the Rappanan- | nock. They were all arrested, and as their of- | fence is of extraordinary atrocity, a speedy | punishment will, deubtless, be at once meted , out to them. This punishment, according to | the laws of war, is death by 87’ The amendment to the Constitution of Mas- i sachusetts repealing the two years’ qualifica- j tion of voters of foreign birth has been adopted | by nearly four thousand majority in 3 total vote } of 16,000. Eseex was the only county | which gave a majority against theamendment, | but Middiesex, Norfolk and Plymouth were | quiteelose. The largest majority for the | amendment was cast in Worcester countyy— sbout fourteen hundred. Suffoik, with its | thousands of voters of foreign birth, gave only | three hundred majority for the repeal, !

Hays, came up with a detachment ot retel cavalry, commanded by Blythe, con- ; sisting of about 5,000 men. A short engaige- mbt ensued, and the rebels fled to the Cold- WAler, crossing on a ferry, which they de- stroyed. Skirmishing- continued during the - day... ‘Ai night:two companies of the sth Ohio Cay- alry were placed gn picket guard. Early on Sunday morning Major Hayes ordered a charge | with the twe companies, he leading company B, reeulting in the capture ‘of eighty robels, 20 | killed and 40 wounded. The rebels fled in great confusion, and recrossed the Coldwater.

The rebels had been so roughly handled by Major Hayes thatthey did not follow us. As coon as porsible, Col. Bryant moved men down to the Uoldwater, and made an 3 tack on the rebel line on the opposite side of | that stream.

THE SITUATION. The news from the West to-day, in bringmg the particulars of the last colli-iom im that quarter, makes it clear that the success of th: Union cause in-il was as brilliant as could have been wished; while that from the South shews beyond peradventure that the late dash Cf the rebel Gon. Hill againet Washington, N. C., is regarded in that quarteras having proved @®signai and disastrous failure. The project was doubticss tu have defeated Foster at Wash- ington, and then by forced marclies to transfer | Huns force tothe viginity of that of Longstreet, on the Rlackwater aid Nansemond, before Gen. Peck could be reinforced. It has turned cu’, however, that Foster is 1m over-match ‘or Till, whom he is pursuing; while Peck and the gunboats under Lee haye driven Longstreet well back from our linen’ front of Norfolk. The late protratted ‘rain storm, thoughit may aye delayed some ef Our operations in various quarters, can hardiy fail to have embarrassed and positively damaged the rebels far: more | tian owrtroops. Thus, in delaying the#frans- | Portation to railroads und by rail, they must suffer immensely, as their armies notoriously | live everywhere from hand to mouth, ‘as ours do not; while their deficiency in ordinary road Vehicles and stock, and the rapidly depre- cinting condition of their railroads without a possibility of their prompt repair, (from lack | Of materials,) makes all checks to their plans from such causes permanent disabilities or in- juries. We hear from tiie front to-day that whatever damages the Orange and Alexandria railroad bridges to Rappahannock Station sus- tained in the late siorm, have already been re- paired, while it is fair to presume that beyond that point, from Culpeper Court-House to Richmond, and upon the railroad patween Richmond and Lee's camps, the damage done, if reparable in time, can only be made good by stripping some other railroads of paraphernalia neceseary to enable them to perform theirshare of the rebels’ military operations. RUMORED CAPTURE OF ONE OF GENEKAL BEAUREGARD'S STAFF, It is rumored that a Confederate officer, re- | ported to be of Gen.
