ARMY OF THE PoTromac, More Desertions From the Enemy—Re. stricti in Newspaper Kxc Information from the Army of the Potomac says that the 5th corps was reviewed or Tues- day by General Warren. This corps is one of the largest in the army, and in regard to dis- cipline stands second to none. The utmost diligence is being exercised by the commana- ing officer in preparing for the spring cam- paign. Tbirty-four deserters came into our lines on Tuesday, all bringing in their guns aud some their horses. Passengers direct from City Point say that there was not even a rnmorat that pince of peace commissioners from Richmond as wis so industrionsly eirculated elsewhere yester- day. The Vance, who arrived there, was Brigadier General Vanee, a brother of the Governor ef North Carolina, to be exchanged, and mot Governor Vance himself as a peace commirsioner, in company with two imagin- ary colleagues. General Longstreet has placed a restriction on theexchange of newspapers, permitting only date for date, but some of the rebel editors an they will endeavor to have the order modi- ied. Many of the sick of our army have been re- moved to City Point. 2 SHERIDAN, Lynchburg Peo Strong to Attack—Sheri- dan’s Strategy. City Pot, Va, March 13 —Last night the scouts from the army of General Sheridan made their way to City Point, through m any dangers, with despatches from him. I learn that the despatches state that the army under General Sheridan got up to the detences of’ Lynchbarg, and found them too streng to attack. The force consisted meinly of cavalry, and ip all did not number ten thensand men, while it was found that the earris;n at Lynchburg was six thousand strong, and the defences were well Inid out All the small forces lying within 4 certain radius of the plice had in time been called to meet our attack, and abont three thousand men bad heen drawn by rail from the rebel Army of Northern Virgina. Our gallant column had arongh time of it, rain pouring down for most of the time, ansi rendering the roads allgnight impassable, put the forces pushed on in spite of the weather. Finding that he was too late to take Lynch- burg by & coup de main, Gen. Sheridan passed on, struck the canal, made a cut in it that ran the waters of theeame into the roads, and also damaged the railroad to a great extent, so that the movement was dashing in execution, and hae done much damage to thp enemy. It is not known what movement Gen. Sheri- dan is now making. By his large force of cav- alry he utterly deceived the enemy, who did not Rnow at what point he was really aiming, and only from caution concentrated about their great depot of supplies. He will inthe same way again deceive them by covering all the roadé with his good cavalry, which are more thas een for the enemy under Rosser.—¥. . Tribun FRUM KENEOCCKY,.

All the available pontoon trains at Newbern bad been sent to General Schofiela, and even if Bragg had not evacuated Kinston, there was no doubtentertained that our forces could easily cross the Neuse river and give the enemy ba- ue.

Witmineren, March 11.—Sherman is at Fayetteville, eighty miles from this place by land and one hundred miles by the Cupe Fear liver. To-day wis couriers reaebed ihis city, announcing his arrival at Laurel Hill, Rich. mond county, Rorthwest from this place, on Wednesday evening, the Sihinstant. On Thurs. day. when the couriers left, his troops were moving on, aud it was Sherman’s intention to bave been in Fayetteville either last night or this morning. The couriers who bring this pleasing intelli- gence and other official dispatches from tae General are George W. Quimby and Miron J. Amick, the same members of the fraternity of scouts of the Army of Tennessee who commn- nicated with Foster on the Ogeechee, in the Georgia march. Theie is @ good turnpike road leading trom Laurel Hill direct to Fayetteville. Tne distance is not tar from forty miles. Fayetteville is on the Cape Fear river, which is navigable to that point trom here for boats of light draft. Tne gunboat Eolns started to go up there a few days since, but finding the Ch ckamauga sank in the channel sbout forty miles above here, ‘Was compelled to retarn. Boats have started up to-day prepared to remove the onstractiou, and will proceed to Fayetteville to open more direct communication. General Sherman has met with no serioas opposition in his march at ary point, nor has he fonght any battle. Since leaving Columbia, be has had a small company of rebel scouts banging on his front, and one division of repel cavalry (General M. ©. Batler’s)on his rear. Dick Taylor has notshown himseif, rebel re- ports to the contrary notwithstanding. Sherman crossed the Great Pedee river, at Chere w, on Saturday, the ithinst. The town of Cheraw, on the south bani of the river, was entrenched, and & feeble attempt was made ac defence. But Shermans cayalry dashed in on aron, giving the rebels no time to forat, and put them to an ignominions rout. In their flight they left seventeen guus in position de- fendi: the town. On the following day, when Sherman moved out, he picked up four more guns abandoned on the north bang of the stream, The rebels seem now to have absidoned all opposition tohismarch. They content them- selves with keeping a tew mounted men trot- ting Pipa las front. to notify them of his ap- coach. Pithe command is in most excellent healt, and spirits.

FINaNcIaL.—From the New York Exprose of last night: The Government gold bonds showed marked decline on the gall of the first bends, but wnen the later Earopean advices were an- nounced on the street, there was more toneand firmness. The miecellaneons<shares were generality duijl without any special feature. There was a break in Cumberland early in the day, and the stock sold down to 00x, but raliied shortly afterwards, @od now stands at 6J¥yah. The other shares were withont any decided ehange. Sterling bills are very quiet and quoted nom- inally at 165al08y, The Gold Room was very much depressed towards-the close of the diy, and touched the lowest point since last May. The demand for gold for commercisl purposes is very light, and much the largest poruon of the Operauons are Fpeculative fora fall, The bull interest has been weakened by the recent fall, and is not powerful enough to stem ibe downward current at present. The report that the May coupons would probably be an- ticipated, and the advices by the Canada that gold was likely to flow this way, hada de- pressing effect. The Evening Post says: The stock market opened with more ani- mation than for some days past. (Govern- ments are quiet and closed firm. lroad shares are active, With an advancing tendeney, The chief excitement isin Erie, which bas been largely overseld. The loan market is inactive, and fairly sup- plied at7 percent. Capital seeking investment continues to accumulate, and currency is ow - ing rapidly in from the country. Uommersial paper is quiet at Sa10. be foreign demand for onr 5-20 bonds te far in excess of what has been supposed. The is- sue of these bonds was 51! millions, of whieh 4¢9 millions are coupon bonds, and are alone available for the soreign market. Of these 409 millions, itis computed that there have been taken at Frankiort 1 millions, at Amsterdam 106 millions and in Engtand % millions. Of this statement it appears thal the amonnt of the 5-20’s now held abroad is ne than 22 millions of dollars. [From the Times.} Three or more failures in the Gold Room are Teported to have been notified this forenoon; one of a young specalator for the rise, who ad- ventured last night upon the chance of turning the market from its declining course by mak- ing eash, or three days’ coutracte right and lett, at 1¢GalS2 per cent. to the extent of @ mil- lion or a million anda half of dollars. The fresh fallof the market this morning to i%a 174% per cent. upset his calculation, and, through his default, left other parties long of gold who had thought themselves short. The canee of ihe other failares we have not heard explained. After the settlement of these difi- culties, the bidding for gold, by new adventu- rere for a rise, recovered, soon after 2 o'clock, to 176#178 per cent. The purely gambling and desperate nature of the Gold Room, asanarona cf speculation, living and bieatking upon the efforts and hopes of its chief promoters to die- credit and destroy confidence in the national greenback currency, could pot be mere aptly illustrated than by the developmerts which have thus followed the present decline. The equivocal character of the room—approxima- ting very closely toafaro bapk—is not more patent, however, now on the fall to 1s), than itshould baye been to the public last summer, on the rise to 260 per cent. The auetion sales of dry goods yesterday, thongh well attended by the trade, were ex- tremely spiritiess. Most of the goods sold were let off at a reduction of 5al5 per eent.; and even at these figures buyers were not eager to purchase beyond the limits of their immediate wants. W best tell off 5a7c: corn 6c. per bushel; pork 5c¢ a&125 per bb}, bacon and cotton 2a3o; Jard lc; and butter la’ per pound, and petroleam Ja2c. per gallon. The freight engagements were unimportant. {From the Herald.) The large decline in gold completely unset- Ued the merchandice market yesterday, and caused a large decline in all kinds of domestic reduce. Cotton, petroleum, &., were dui}, lower and nominal. On ’Uhange there was a perfect slaughter, particulariy in provisions, pork having declined $I per barrel, while beef declined materially. Lard was a half cent Jower, with only &@ moderate demand. The flour market wus moderately active at lower rates. Wheat was Saivc. lower, while corn and oats were dull and depressed. Freights were exceedingly quiet. Whisky was firm but not active. {From the Tribune.) Gold-bearing Government stocks are lower under the decline in gold. and & disposition to exchange them for the 7 30 bonds. The tu.40°8 sold at 96% freely. In State stocks and ratl- way mortgages little done. Railway shares &re all lower, and are sold quite freely. Money is abundant on call at? percent,and at 6 upon Government stccks. Commercial paper is pot wanted in the face of failures tn various departments of trade. Itis now made certain that geclining gold means bankraptey to a large class of people who counted them- felves rich before their goods were paid for. The fall checks buying from first bands, and a disinelination to purchase extends through all Classes as depressing to holders of goods as the cheapening of specie There is a large margin for a fa}l in all directions, and those who hold the smaliest stocks and have the largest bang balances are the safest. Humers Concerning the Extra Session. {From Richmond Dispatch, Maren i3 } The President, on Friday, sent into Uongrees & message staung that in & sdort time he might Dave a matter of importance to commanicate, which would require their deliberation, and. requesting that they would not adjourn on Saturday, as agreed upon, bat would prolosg their seesion for a few days. It has not trans- pired what is the subject aliaded to by the President, and Congressional and public euri- osity have been exercised on the point. Spec- ulation bas been rife thereon, and a namber of theories have been started. One story is, that that the President desires that Congress shall, before adiourning, more explicitly define the powers of Gen. Lee as General-in-Chief, An- other, that France offered to interfere if the Confederate Government would pledge itself to cede Louisiana tothe Emperor, @nd lo op- pose the Mouroe doctrine. There are others hat itis unnecessary to repeat’ We give the above as the samples of the talk of the day.
