Fortress Monroz, March i4 —Thesteamer Champion, Capt. Wilson, arrived here this morning, and brought the first definite intelli- gence respecting the movements of Gen. Sher- man and his forces. On the morning of the llth imstant, the date of the sailing of the Cham pion, several scouts of Gen. Sherman arrived at Wilmington, N.O., with the news that his army had reached Fayetteville, N. U., and in its immediate vicinity was quietly rest- ing and preparing for another movement north- ward. Everything is quiet in and around Wilmington. Business of all kinds is gradu- ally resuming its former aspect, and the old merchants and residents who remained in the city are rapidly accustoming themselves to the new order of affairs under the Union forces. Union Prisoners Recaptured. New York, March 15th._A despatch from Newbern, dated the 1!th instant, says that the prisoners taken by the rebels, in frontof Kin- sten, have been recaptured; that General Terry had formed a junction with our forces there, and that General Sherman is expected in the rear of the Rebels at Goldsboro, on the llth or 12th instant.

At least this was the understanding several days ago, and we have not been apprised of any modification of the request communicated Yo the press. We mention this fact to explain to our readers the non-appearance in the Whig of intelligence from the country into which the enemy has penetrated. The Queer Victories of Bragg. From the Richmond Whig, March 13. The tide ef fortune has at lastturned. Good news has begun toreach us. Within the last two days we have received intelligence of two victories, which, although as to the number of the forces engaged and the losses, they may not approach the great battles of the war, are yet of immense importance, considered with relat on to the existing and prospective mili- tary situation. Gen. Bragg’s vic*ories over the column of theenemy making its way out from Newbern, absolutely breaks out one of the links of the much-yaunted Yankee compbi- nation. The object of the enemy was, doubt- less, to destroy the railroad in the neighbor- hood of Goldsboro, with an intention well un- derstood by our commanders. Gen. Hampton’s victory over Kilpatrick is ees important, and will prove a heavy blow to Sherman. We anticipate news of eyen more decisive resuits within a few days. The Crisis in the South—The rebels ready fer the Dictatorship. {From the Richmond Whig, March 13.) In the elections which are shortly to take place in this State, one controlling and ex- elusive purpose should oceupy the mind of the yoter—namely, to secure for the public service Only men of the most indomitable reso- lution and the moat confident aad sanguine spirits; and everything else—ability, experi- ence, learning, purity—may be dispensed with; but this is indispensable. Ours may not be, and it is not, a revolution; but it requires men of the revolutionary mind. In ordinary times, none would demand’ for legislators more strenuously than we the qualities which we now hold to be not only unneeded, but perni- cious. Moderate action, conservatism, and ever-scrupulous regard for private rights and 8 too rigid adherence to the limitations of laws and constitutions do not make the statesman- ship we have use for. In their stead we want boldness, tenacity, faith, blind faith even. The French Mission. Some surprise has been expressed thatthis important mission was not filled previously to the adjournment of the Senate. We under- stand that it was tendered to James Gordon Bennet, Esq., of this City, but declined by him, mainly on the ground that he could be of more service inextricating his country from her present difficulties at home than abroad. Since Benjamin Franklin—in every sense our first Embassador to France—we do not re- member that an Editor has till now been des- ignated for that post, which demands in its in- cumbent a fulland intimate knowledge of our own and of European politics, a ripe‘general experience, and a special familiarity with the character and career respectively of the leading gtatesmen of Eerope These qualifica- tions we presume, dictated the selection of the yeteran Editor of The Rerald. ‘We may here mention, as an interesting incl- dent, that Mr. Bennett met the present Empe- ror of France at a private dinner party, in Lon- don just before the fall of Louis Philippe;when the conversation turning on the condition of affairs in France, Mr. Bennett remarked that he had observed that almost the entire Frencn press was then opposing the Government. The remark made euch an impression on Louis Napoleon that he subsequently recalled the subject and asked Mr, Bennett what inference he drew from the fact above noted. Mr. B. replied that, in the United States, such an atti- tude ofthe Press would forecast an approach. ing transfer of political power. The events which soon followed proved this inference equally sound with regard to France.—New York Tribune. ErrxucT OF THE FALL OF GOLDIN New YORK AND PHILADELPHIA.—There was a considera- ble panic yesterday in New York in all busi- ness circles, and the markets. The Express says there was a great feeling of depression and uneasiness at the produceexchange which increased at the announcement of failures among Philadelphia dealers. Flour declined from ten to fifteen cents; wheat, from five to ten: cern, from two te three; lard, one; butter, from one totwo; pork declined $125; cotton, three cents. In general merchandise there was a heavy feeling, and dry goods especially and cotton fabrics are lower. In petroleum there was a general disposition to sell, and large ancene of stock were offered without a single The names of eight or ten firms are men- tioned as having failed, among them Thomas Warner and Canazi and J.F. Meymen. Two large firms in the butter trade have gone up.

Pye BY 8. u, CARTERTER. Spring is coming, coming, coming, With its violets I know, For the partridge sits a drumming In the islands of the snow, And the blue bird in the holly Gcily trims his purple vest, Ringing softly to the rephyrs That are stealing from the weet. ‘The crocus in the meadows, Stretches up its tiny head, From the ever shifting shadows, Weaving curtains round its bed; While little streams are smiling In the pleasant vallies lost, At the sunbeams making music With the fetters of the frost. The fleecy clouds are @rifting Slowly o'er the mountain's crest, And floating mists are lifting Their mantles from its breast; And mornings blossom brightly, And evenings close with glee, And life I reckoned lightly, Grows dearer unto me. For troubles may be ended Like winters, under flowers, And smiles with tears he blended As in early April showers, While sorrows with their silies, A® cently pass away As darkness from the vailies, At the coming of the day So let all idle sadness And cheerless vexing fi Be brightened into giada.

Coffee—Market still unsettled by the heavy decline in gold, and quotations altogether nominal. Flour—There was a dull market for all de- scriptions, and prices rather nominal as before.

Provisions.—Stocks of all kinds were light for the season, and holders not disposed to press sales in the preseat unsettled state of gold. No transactions to report, business being confined to a moderate jobbing demand tor Bacon, &c Sugars—Were dull; no inquiry from the trade, and importers not offering theirsamples on account of the unsettled condition of gold.

Whiskey was held at @228 per gallon; no sales,—Baltimore Sun. Lorp Lyons’ RESIGNATION.—The London Times, in alluding to the change in the British Embassy at Washington, says, that noone who knows the nature of the work which Lord Lyons had to discharge during the last four years of his office will be surprised at his being compelled to retire, and adds, “but the Amount of business thus transacted must, after all, have been the least part of its burden. The anxiety of the office must have been far more trying than its labor. Seldom has there been more important post at a more critical time. The consequences which have depended for the last few years on the due conduct of our relations with the United States have been momentous in the extreme, and there has scarcely been any moment within that period at which theee relations might not have been compromised by a failure in courtesy or dis- cretion. Mr. Lincoln's Government, indeed, has, it must be confessed, displayed a credita- ble or a prudent self-control under the various excitements of the times; yet the temper of the American public has constantly been such that a slight indiscretion on our part might have made it impossible for the Presi- dent and his minister to be more moderate than the peeple whom they represent. It reflects the greatest credit on Lord Lyons that during the critical and difficult period he has uniform- ly smoothed the ronghness and adjusted the difficulties which arose, and that Mr. Layard could say the other night that in no one in- stance has he not received the entire approval of her Majesty’s Government.” A ES the New York Commer- cial: There was more activity in stocks this morn- ing, but owing to the heavy decline in gold, prices were generally lower. There was areaction in gold during the af- terncon. A majority of operators appear to think the downward movement has touched the lowest point; and under a general buying to cover short contracts, the price had ad- vanced at3 p. m. to 178%. There is trouble among the smaller gold op- eraters under their ‘long’ contracts. The names of some eight or ten firms, in the gold business, are mentioned as haying failed. Governments show the effect of the decline in gold. Five-twenties were 4 lower on the old issue, and ¥ lower on the new issue. Ten- forties were ¥ lower. This decline, however, is much below the actual appreciation of the respective bonds consequent en the decline of the premium on gold. Railroad bonds are dull and lower. Banks are quiet. DELUSIONS ABOUT CoNnquEsTs.—-Another delusion belongs strictly to the Northern pro- AO it is thatthe South cannet be conquered. he Southern people don’t believe that; but it is atheory got up by Northern men for their own benefit. A people can’t be conquered! Where is there a country on earth which has not been conquered?) What was the conquest of England by William the Norman? A whole people reduced toslavery by one dis- ciplined army. What was the conquest of Scotland by England? Of Ireland? Or Gaal, conquered by Romans’? Of Romans, con- quered by Goths! Of Burgundy, conquered by the French? Of France built up and con- solidated by perpetual internal wars! Every country has been conquered, and conquest has been ene of the great instruments of civili- zation. The South cannot only be conquered, butit can be ground into powder, if that be neeessary. But the rebels have no idea of dying in the last ditch. Look at Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Georgia.— Louisville Journal. Wa It is stated, says an English paper, that there are twenty steam beilers under the floor of the House of Parliament, many working at high pressure and not tested as to their strength for years. It might create a deal of excitement, certainly a new sensation for the blase, if some morning reports of parliament- ary proceedings in the paper were to wind up suddenly with, “Here the debate came to an end by the blowing up of all the members.” ®2 On the 20th of last month probably the last of the blockade-running steamers to ar- rive from our Southern ports have reached Nassau, and they were then lying idle in her harbor no less than thirty-five of them, their occupation gone.
