NOMINATIONS REJECTED. It is currently reported on the street that the nominations of Gens. Gilmore and Schofield. to be Major Generals, were yesterday rejected by the Senate in Executive session. SOUTHERN NizWs. From Richmond papers received we gather the following information. The Ezaminer of the 2th March has the following dispatches : Orance O.H., March 27.—Governor Vance, ot North Carolina, addressed the troopa ot Gen. Daniel’s brigade yesterday in an able and eloquent speech of two hours, and will speak again to-mcrrow and every day this week. Generals Lee, Hill, Edward Johnson, Rodes, and many geueral officers were present to hear him yesterday. The weather is tine and the Touds are drying fast. Nothing from the front. Darton, March 25.—No reintorcements, with the exception of returning regiments, have ar- rived in front as yet, though it is ponerally, supported that Sherman will be bro’ it within striking distance. A heavy snow fell here last night, followed by a hard rain, whigh put the roads in bad order again. The Examiner charges that the Richmond Government has treated John Morgan with Jealoasy and injustice. The Examiner says that two of Morgan’s regiments, every man of which was recruited by himself in Ken- tucky, and for special service under himself, have been transferred to the command of (en. Grigsby, 2 special pet of Jeff Davis. Morgan is therefore left with a command of only about 500 men. A letter from Mobile states inat eight Fed- eral vesse's ure still lying off Fort Powell and ten off Fort Morgan. The Examiner has &!so an editorial soundly berating Jeff Davis and isis Cabinet for the al- leged intention of receiving Butler under a flag of truce to treat with him with regard to the exchange of prisoners. This, says the Ex- aminer, will necessitate the withdrawal by the Confederate (zovernment of its deliberate proc- lemation of outlawry and felony against him. The Examiner does not believe the Confederate Government can haye sunk so low as to tram- ple upon its solemnly nitered proclamation, or tobe guilty of what it designates such “an act of abject meanness.” The Examiner consoles itself with the thought that if Jeff himself chooses to make his proclamations a wnility, the people themselves are determined that each proclamation chs} be fulfilled, The £xaminer treats upon the enactment withdrawing one thousand millions of CGon- federaie paper trom circulation, and thinks if this “astonishing achievement in finanee” is feasible, enabling the South to continue the war indefinitely, the North will pattern by the Southern policy “in wis as it has done in other particulers, and become abie to protract its uggression indetinitely.” The Examiner, however, comforts itself with the belief that the Northern people will not stand the adoption ot any such financial mea- sure. The Richmond Ezamirer of the 26th notes from information in New York pxpers that Grunt is moving re-inforcements to the Army of the Potomuc, thereby, as the Examiner hints, * weakening the army at Chattanooza.” Bob Tyler « Register” advertises in the Rich- mond papers for the recovery of $75,000 Con- federate coupon bonds, stolen from the Regis- ter’s Bureau. In the Wilmington, N.C. Journal there is an sdverticement offering $50,000 reward for tne detection of the persons who set fire to the cotton stored in that city on thetth of February.

Flovn.—Yesterday, in the Equity Court, Justices Cartter and Olin, Messrs W. D. Davidge, and F. W. Jones obtained an injunction restraining Thomas J. Mehaffey from using that portion of Fayette street, Georzeiown, between the Chesepeake and Ohio Canal and the Potomac as a coal depot. The corporation of Georgetown sometime since leased Fayetie street to Mr. Mehaifey, who is the agent of a ccal compamy, and he recently has commenced to erect a trestle work on which torun simail cars, which will take the coal from the canal, and being run down dis- charging it on the wharf or on vessels at the whart. The plaintiffs are Messrs. Herr and Welch, who carry on the milling business on the exst side of Fayette street, and also havea large wharf south of Water street and adjoin- ing the property leased. The compl! it’s counsel asserted two proposi Ss . That the street was 2 pub- lic highway, had been used as such for eighty years, and that no right to divert the same to }) DY private ase or purpose, conld be claimed by either of the defendants, or any other per- £0n or corporate body. 2d. Thateven if it were the private property of the defendant, Mehaifey, he could not set up and establish an offensive trade or business, to the injury and nuisance ot another business which had been established nearly twenty-five years, the flour mill haying been erecied about the year 1840, The defendant's counsel, Walter S. Cox, al- leged 4 licence on the part of the complainant, to his obtaining a lease for the said street from the Corporation, for the purposes of a coal depot, and that they conld not retract their con- sent, aud should not be allowed now to pre- vent him trom carrying on an enterprise which they once exacovraged him to commence. During the argument the counsel alluded to the peneirating qualities of coal dustand the damage it would cause to the business of a mill or flour sfore adjacent to a coal yard or depot—the cofinsel for the defendent asserting that if in this case the wind biew from a cer- tain quarter no damage would be done, when Judge Cartter aaid that if the defendant would give good security that the wind would always blow from that quarter he would not grant the prayer. (Laughter.| ‘The injunction as prayed was granted. miele DEATHS OF SotpiERS.—The doa‘hs of the following soldiers have been reported at the office of Capt.
