New York, May 2.—The steamer Guiding Star bas arrived here from New Orleans, having left there on the 25thut. The rebel ram Webb passed New Urleans under a heavy fire from the war yeesels, ihe Lackawanna sending a two hundred and fifty ponnd shot through her bows. The Hoillyhock, Lieutenant Commander Gherardi, was ready to follow, and kept close upon the track of the Webb anti! twenty-eight miles below the city. The rebels saw the sloop-ot-war Richmond ready for action, and turned for the shore, the Hollyhock going straigbtat her. The Webb’s officers and crew fired her in several places and fied to the swamps. Boats from the Hollyhock boarded her and saved one man, who had been abandoned asleep. They were unable to put ont the fiames, from the inflamabie nature of the cargo and fear of the explosion of the mac@mine. The Webb was armed with three guns, ene 4 thirty-two-pounder. She was commanded by Reed. Two of the crew have given themselves up. Mine New Orleans Times reports that the steamer General Hodges came outof Red river on the 23d ultimo, under a fiag of truce, for the parpose of negotiating with Colonel Sprague, thief of Staff to General Pope, for the surren- der ef Kirby Smith, and his force. Colenel Sprague left Cairo on the gunboat Lexington, for the purpose of meeting the General Hodges at the mouth of the Red river, and there can be little doubt that Kirby Smith has surrendered his entire force. ‘the terms of surrender are those proffered by Grantte Lee, The Lexington aud Hodges ‘were, at last accounts, anchored at Hog Point, a few wiles below the mouth of the Ked river. The surrender of the rebel Secretary of the Navy, Mallory, at Pensacola, is confirmed, Captain Pickens, who has forsaken the rebel cause, has issued an address to the people or | Lovisiana.

A GENERAL CONPERENCE.—By & notice in the Baltimore Methodist Protestant, weare in- formed that the general conference ¢f the Methodist Protestant Church will assembie in Georgetown on the lvth instant. Im 1982 thie body wis to have assembled, but there being nO quorum, (the delegates from the Maryland Annual Conference ouly being present, we be- lieve.) the meeting was adjourned to await the cali of the Maryland delegation, and the ne- tice in the official paper is that call. In the fall of the year Is6¥, the Northern and Western Conterences met in convention, and dissolved their connection with the conferences in the Rebellious States, and declared them. selves the Methodist Protestant Church in the United States. Since the beginning of the re- bellion the Maryland Annual Conferenes, which was not represented in the convention, has, Asa body, persistently avoided any ex- pression of opinion upon the question of loyal- ty, and maintained a reticent policy through. cut. As it is probable that the eset fees dele- gates will constitute a majority in the ap- proaching general conference, it hoped by the loyal members of the churches that the body will speak out upon that question, arts a Alexandria Affairs. From the Alexandria Journal, May t.} outs from Fredericksburg report that that ty and yicinity need the protection of the Government against rebel officers and soldiers, sieenaee from Lee’s army, who are now maranding upon the provisions and propert: of the inhabitants. Young men balongtar rs respectable families, who haye been in the army, swear they will not work for @ living, and devote themselves to plunder. Applica- tion has been made to Gen. Augur for a Pro- vost Marshal's establiehment at Fredericke- burg to protect the citizens in their peacefal pursuits. The same thing will haye to be done throughout Virginix. The citizens of Freder- icksburg seem to have plenty of especie and greenbacks, and purchase commodities it op the Ragpanannock: butin the country sur- ae ere is a lack of the necessaries of ife. A letter from the borders of Londoun cousty, dated on Friday Iast, informs us thet constant imeursions are-.being made by these paroled rebel soldiers into Maryland, who drive off horses, cattle, &c.. and teardown and destroy every en eteaICaa flag displayed in that neigh- rT ls Gen.

We are very sorry to hear that sui is the fact, but we presame that there is good and sufficient reasons for this action. We un- derstand that it was in contemplation by :ae General to complete the arraugement between the military and civil authorities to-day. As the suspension of this action is announced as being merely temporary, we have hopes that in afew days we shall bear of its being re- sumed. THE FIRiInG oF MOND —LETTER YROM GgNERAL EwxLt.—The following isan ex- tract of a letier from the rebel General Ewell, explaining the partial burring, etc., of Rich- mond, during its evacuation by the rebel army.

I had tetd the principal citizens, months before, what would happen, and arged them to form & constabniary ferce to keep order. But they would not, only three persone offering their services, when there were hun- dreds doing nothing. ‘Che fire hose was cut, and the arsenal burned by the mob.

To prevent mis. statements as regards our capture, I would elate that we were ordered to fellow Ander- fon; thatafier driving back an attack on our wagons we found Arderson cut off from those of Lee’s army in front, and the 6th corps came after me, attacking my troops. Anderson failed, after a trial, in breaking through those in his front; and my men, entirely surrounded, fighting over ten times their number, were captured or slain.” THR PREMCTION oF NosrTRADMAUA.—Most of our readers will recollect that at the com- mencement of the present civil war the fol- lowing prediction of Nostradamus, which, it is said can be found in the second volame of his “‘Uenturies,” was greatly published in the | papers “About that time (1561) a great quarrel and controversy will arise in a country beyond the seas (America,) and many poor devils will be hung, and many poor wretches will be killed by a puuishment other than a cord. Upon my faith you may believe me, the war wi last feur years, at which none should be surprised or astonished, for there will be no want of hatred and obstinacy init. Attheend of that time, prostrate and almost raioed, the people will re-embrace each other in great joy and love.” z Nostradamus was & French physician, phi- losopher and prophet, born in 1533 who, after meeting with great success in the first named capacity, turned his attention to sstrology, and in 1555, who published nis «“Qenturies,” a work of predictions. In 1568 he foretold the remarkable death of Henry I., which took place ata louanament in the spring of 1559, and is said also to have predicted the death of Charles L., of England, Louis XVI., and the elevation of Napoleon to the empire of France.
