LATER FROM CITY POINT. ae cea eee LOSSES IN THE NINTH CORPS. ee epee EXCHANGE OF KILLED. aes Ee GENERAL ORDER UF CONGRATULA- TION. —_—_—— Information from City Point, dated March Q8th, is to the following effect: The losses in the 9th corps are much larger than heretofore reported. The first division baye in hospital 160 wounded, and 30 are known to have been killed. In the third division hos- pital there were 166 wounded, and about 32 were killed. The second division were not engaged, but in the hospital they haye 13” Confederate wonnded. Picket firing was kept up all last night. Yesterday and the day before the xilled on both sides were exchanged, the enemy showing more courtesy than heretofore. The following is the substance of a general order issued to the army yesterday : | | figh market | | | ' | | Market Bpace and gt se ritg east | “The enemy witha temerity tor which he , bas paid dearly, massed his forces and suc- | ceeded, through the reprehensible want of vigilance of the 2d brigade, Ist division, {th corps, in breaking through our lines, captur- ug Fort Steadman and batteries 3, 10 and 11. «The prompt measures taken by Major Gen. Parke, the firm bearing of the troopsof the 9th corps in the adjacent portions of the line held | | by the enemy, and the conspicuous gallantry | ot the 3d aivision of this corps, for the first | time under fire, together with the energy and | skill displayed by Brig. Gen. Hartranit, its leader, quickly repaired this disaster, and the enemy were driven from Fort Steadman and eur lines, with heavy losses in killed and | wounded, leaving in our hands eight batue flags and over 1,900 prisoners. «The enemy being driven from the front of the 9th corps, the offensive was assumed by the 6th and 2d corps: the enemy by night was driven from his intrenched picket line, and all his efforts to recover the same, which were | particularly determined and persistent on the | 2d corps front, were resisted and repulsed with heavy losses, leaving with the 6th corps | over four hundred prisoners, and with the “d | corps two battle flags and over three hundred prisoners. ‘he troops of the 6th corps reported by Major General Wright es engaged in these operations were Getty’s division, Keifer’s bri- gade, Seymour’s division, and Hamblin’s and Edward's brigades of Wharton’s division. “Of the 2d corps, Major General Humphreys mentions Miles’ and Mott’s divisions, and ey ier brigade of Hays’ division, supported by Griffin's division, 5th corps. “The result of the day was the thorongh de- feat of the enemy’s plans, the capture of his | strongly entrenched picket line, under the ar- tilery fire of his main works, and the capture et ten battle fiags and about twenty-eight hundred prisoners, a result on which the Major General commanding heartily congrat- ulates the army.” The order says: ‘Two lessons can be learned from these operations. One that no fortified line, however strong, will protect an army from an apes enemy, uniess vigilantly guarded; and the other, that no disaster or mis- fortune is irreparable where energy and bravery are displayed in the determination to recover what is lost and to prompily assume the offensive.” ITaLtaN OPERA.—A large and ‘fashionable audience assembled at Ford’s Theater last night to see Miss Kellogg in her charmiug role of Zerlivia,in the new version of Fra Diarolo, and rarely has a performance been more aatis- factory toa Washington audience than that of last night. Miss Kellogg is an actress ef uncommon grace, together witha sweet, well-cultivated, although not heavy voice, yet very effective in the upper register. As an actress, we must’ compare her with Piccolomini; as a vecalist with Sontag. ry Sigvor Bellini played Lord Fochbourg most admirably, and Signori Dubriel and Weirelich as the brigands deserve to be specially men- tioned. Morensi and Lott: were less satisfactory, the roles they assumed not being exactly in their line. Lotti possesses a small Voice, and is, as tenors usually are, only a passable singer. The costumes were, as on the first night, of : superior kind. Chorus and orchestra excel- lent. Ernani will be given to-night, with Zacchi, Bellini, Maccaferi and Susini under the baton of Max Maretzek in person, a performance cal- culated to attract hugely. PrrsonaL.—Vice Admiral Farragut has gone to Norfolk, from whence he will proceed to New York, in a tew days. Gen. Hooker left for New York yesterday, where a five thousand dollar cane is to ba pre- sented to him through Senator Conness, by his California friends. General Kautz, commanding cavairy, Army of the James, has been relieved, and ordered toreport to General Wallace. Gen. McKen- zie, of the Army of the Potomac, succeeds him.

Brady, from City Pointy report that yesterday morning President Lin- coln, Gen. Grant, Gen. Sheridan, and other distinguished officers, had & consultation on board the River Queen. . No fighting has taken place at the front since Saturday, but heavy picket firing and occa- sional cannonading has occurred on our left. This firing subsided yesterday morning, and when the mail boat left City Point, at 10 o’clock, nota single gun was heard there. The rebels keep up a bold front, and are very watchiul, evidently anticipating a movement on the part of Grant. The dead in the engagement of Saturday have been buried, and the bodies of a number of officers have been forwarded to City Point for transportation North. The Brady brought up fourteen bodies of officers and men. TECTION FOR, THE OVERLAN. I PROTECTI ROUTE, ND MAIL Capt. W. W. Smith, ef General <Halleck’s staff, has been appointed Lieut. Colonel of the 6th U.S. volunteers, which regiment was or- ganized from rebel deserters. The regiment has been ordered to Fort Leavenworth, for duty on the overland mail route, to protect trains from incursions by bands of hostile In- dians. FEMALE NURSES. A recent order of the War Department di- rects tha: female nurses traveling on duty, under proper orders, may have their rations commuted at the rate allowed to soldiers travel- ing on detached service, viz: seventy-five cents a day. BEVIEW, The troops at Camp Barry will be reviewed to-morrow at 11 o’clock, by Major General Halleck. ORDER REGULATING THE DRAWING OF SUPELIES. 2 Major General Hancock, commanding the Middle Military Division. has issued an order regulating the drawing of supplies from the Commisetary Department by officers on their certificates ef honor that the supplies are for the use of themselves or for their families, which has been republished here by General Augur for the Government of all concerned in his command. In order to prevent fraud upon the Govern- ment, and to prevent drunkenness among en- listed men, it is orderad that officers of the Commissary, and Inspector General Depart- ment, examine with great eare, the order of offi- cers; and whenever it clearly appears, that the supplies purchased are not for the direct use of the officer giving the order, or of his family, but are sold, or transferred to third persons un- der any pretext, a report of the same shall be forwarded through the Ohief of their Depart- ments, at once to Headquarters, that the officer guilty ef the offence, may be recommended for dismissal. Commissaries of subsistence are forbidden to sell whiskey to soldiers on officers’ orders, un- der any circumstances, except, when the sol- dier is known positively to be the servant of the officer giving the order, and the order states that the whiskey is for the officer’s own use. Commissaries of subsistence are required to limit their sales of whiskey, to an amount not exceeding an average of one gallon per month, for each officer in the command, to which they are attached. ee War Department, Adjutant General's Office, Washington, March 27, 15. H GENERAL ORDERS, No. 50, ORpDERED,—First—That at the hourof neon, on the 14th day of April, 1865, Brevet Major- General Anderson will raise and plant upon the ruins of Fort Sumter, in Charleston Har- bor, the same United States flag that floated over the battlements of that Fort during the rebel assault, and which was lowered and saluted by himand the small force ot his com- mand when the works were evacuated on the 14th day of April, 1561. Second—That the flag, when raised, be saluted by ore hundred guns from Fort Sumter, and by & national salute from every fort and rebel battery that fired Epon Fort Sumter. Third—That suitable ceremonies be had upon the occasion, under the direction of Major General William T. Sherman, whose military operations compelled the rebels to evacuate Charlesten, or, in his absence, under the charge of Major General (). A. Gilmore, commanding the department. Among the ceremonies will be the delivery of a public address by the Rey. Henry Ward Beecher. Fourth—That the naval forces at Oharleston, and their Commander on that station, be invited to participate in the ceremonies of the occa- sion. By order of the President of the United States, Epwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. Official:—E. D. TownsE®n, Ass’t Adj’t Gen. HARTRANFT.—The New York papers are in a glorious staie of puzzlement as to who, exactiy, was the hero of the fighting at Fort Steadmtn. The Times cays it was not General Harteus, but General Hartraupt, the Express says it was General Hartroupt, while the Post about hitg the nail on the head in saying it was General Hartranft.

The deficiencies in the various sub-districts are large, but the enrollment lists are now being so perfected that itis believed one more drawing will more than fill eur nota. ? Many of the drafted men have failed to report upon the ground that they have not received their notices. We Rave been requested to notify these delinquents that they are expected to report to the Board of Enrollment without delay, and in case of their failing to do so, they will be considered as deserters and arrested, as the fact of their not receiving a legal notice does not release them from tke ob- ligations of the draft. Major O’Beirne has been very lenient to the drafted men, but as the time for a supplemen- tary draft draws nigh, it will be necessary to cease extending the time of parties who have reported and rectived one or two extensions. ge PoLicE Rrrorts—Second Precinct.—Corne- lus Stewart, selling whisky, unlicensed; #20: algo, selling to soldiers; #20.
