NEW YORK HERALD, YHURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1962. WEWS FROM GEN. BANKS’ DIVISION. Pursuit of the Rebels Beyond Winches- ter—They Retreat and Burn the Cedar Creek Bridge Behind Them—The Stream Forded by the Union Forces—Skirmish with Ashby’s Cavalry—Strasburg Oc- eupied by G 1ds—Predominance of the Union iment Wherever the Old Flag is Replaced, Ken, dic. ‘Winouustax, March 19, 1862. On the 17th inst. our forces advanced from here under -Gen. Shiolds, and the enemy resumed their rotrogradg movement towards Strasburg, burning the bridge over ‘Cedar creek as they retired past it, Our cavalry forded the stream, however, and pressed them beyond Stras- ‘burg the same night, and the Union cavalry held the town last night, and our glorious flag again floated over the place, Meanwhile our engincer corps were at work repairing the demolished bridge, and this morning our forces ar® advancing over it. ‘The enemy has taken up a new position, between Ma+ asaag and Strasburg, and the mounted guerillas of Ashby’s command are in the rebel rear, about threo ‘miles from Strasburg. Ina cavalry skirmish near Strasburg on Monday las, ‘the rebels were routed, without loss on our side. The Union sentiment predominates wherever our flag has ben borne in this section of the country. Morvins, an elegant mansion, situated at the foot of the Catoctin Mountains, near Leesburg, and belonging to ex-Mayor Thomas Swann, of Baltimore, was burned by ‘the rebels when they evacuated Leesburg. They also destroyed the depot, tank house, turn-tables and other property at Leesburg, belonging to tho Loudon and Hamp- shire Railroad, and a mill containing thirteen thousand bushels of wheat, belonging to Smart, Bentley & Clagett. All the barns and haystacks in the vicinity wore set on fire by these fire fiends. ‘Wivcuzsrer, Va,, march 19, 1862. ‘The rauroaa oridge at Harper’s Ferry was completed ast night. ‘The railroad is also completed from Cumberland to Martinsburg, but it will take several days to finish the toad from Martinsburg to Harper's Ferry, in consequence of the want of the rails taken up by the enemy. ‘Two trains start from hero for Harper's Ferry to-day. Measengers from Strasburg roport that the rear guard -of Jackson disputed General Shields’ approach foot by foot, with infantry and artillery. It is reported that our cavalry occupied the town after the moon rose. One of our soldiers was severely wounded. ‘The agent.of Adams’ Express is now here to re-estab- dish an office. ‘The official report says that Genoral Shields encoun- tered the rear guard of Jackson's forces just beyond Mid- -dletown, With four fleld pieces and small bodies of in- fantry and cavalry they disputed General Shields’ pro- Gress, stopping at all the strongest points, and then retiring, thoy crossod Cedar creek, and destroyed tho “bridge. General Shields this morning built a temporary bridge, and after a skirmish entered the town and throw out his pickets two miles beyond. ‘The loss of the enomy is not stated. 5 ‘The cavalry man wounded yesterday in a skirmish *guffered amputation of a leg to-day. Heavy firing has been heard in the direction of Stras- ~ burg since our information was prepared, porn aertahaeerhoaebaed AFFAIRS ON THE LOWER POTOMAC. “Wigilance of the Union Generals—Inte- resting Account of a Reconnolssance of the Union Forees Beyond Dumfries— Rebel Cavalry Seen—Considerable Booty Captured by our Troops—An Impressed Rebel Soldier Delivers Himself ,Up—His Story and Death—The Movements of the Rebels=The Evacuation of Aquia Creek, d&e., &e. Wassixatox, March 19, 1862. _sAn evidence of the vigilance of our general officers of ‘the Army of the Potomac is exhibited in the fact that ~when the rebel forces began tho evacuation of Dumfries, ~at daylight on Sunday morning, Genoral Hooker was in * possession of the intelligence at half-past eight o' tae sand it was verified and transmitted to headquarte: ‘fore ten o’clock-of that morning, A gentleman who has made a thorough invostigation -Of the matter agsurea me that the story about negro -whipping in Hooker’s division, published in the Tribune -oorreapondence « few days ago, isan entire fabrication. ‘The correspondent was doubtiess deceived by a rumor -Current in the camps, which, upon investigation, proved sto be unfounded. A correspondent who has spent several days in th® -eamps of Hookor’s division states that the Naw Yor« Him is oagorly sought after there. Ho speaks of tho universal manifestation of devotion to Generals McCiollan ‘and Hooker by the officers and men of tho division. He “believes the 2ribune would be hooted from the camp if -offeredfor sale thero, Its dastardly assaults upon those -whoaro fighting the battles of the Union are universally rexecrated by the soldiers. ‘The correspondent of the New Yorx Hxrazp'on board “the Stepping Stones sends the following intoresting ac- count of ® reconnoissance in the neighborhood of “Dumfries:— Unrrep Staves Sraimer Srerrixa Sronzs, ‘Wave’s Bay, Poromsc River, March 18, 1862. } Yesterday morning the Satellite towed over to tho Virginia shore a cana} boat having an board a large mumber ef troops. A landing was effected near Quantico -oreck, and the linc of march was taken up towards Dumfries, -on a reconnoitering expedition. ‘Tho “troops penetrated about ton miles into, the coutitry. On their way they saw a large body of rebel cavalry, ai gome distance beyond Dumfries; but the Union troops did not attack them, and the rebels exercised the like ‘Torbearance. Al along the march were seen signs of -fecent military occupation in the form of partially de- ‘Stroyed camp equipages and war materials, recently be- como 0 familiar to the newspaper reader. A large quantity of booty fell into the hands of our ‘troops. Among it wero Sve hundred excolient Balmoral ‘dlankets. Thetroops had the further good fortune to fall in witha sutler’s storo, ‘10 occupant of which had decamped in the general stampede. The soldiers, Ineod hardly-say , stood upon no ceremony, but liberally helped themselves to the creature comforts lying ‘These consisted of @ large quantity of sol! and some preseryes—a windfall to tired and hungry men. While on the march a Nosthern man belonging 10 a. ‘North Carolina regiment came in and surrencered. Ho aid he had been compelled vy the rebels in authority to Join the regiment, which he did in the hope of finding an opportunity to escape, which, however, only offered itself yesterdzy. He makes tho following statement :— He bad remained at Aquia creek from the commence umont of tho war, and had been engaged in working the guns there. Aquia creek is being evacuated, and the Tebel troops are falling back to Frederickaburg. Ouly ‘two guns remain at the creck, as a blind, and to cover Abe final retreat. After a circuitous: . | fatiguing march of some twenty. five miles the recon. cving party returned on board the anal boat, and wore towed back to the Maryland shore ‘by the Satellite, whan the men were landed at a late hour of the night. On the way over the boat was completely erowded,and by some accident the involuntary secos- @ionist, as he represented himseif, fell overboard, Efforts wore made to save him, But ineffectually, the qweight of bis equipmonts causing him to sink like a atone. It is believed that the cavalry seen near Dumfries in the only rebel force between that place and the Rappaban, Mock.

Our Rieieaat River Corresponaence. Boarp Streamer Aurs, Four Mines Anove tas No. 10, Missusearrt Rt iver, March 16, 1862. Isend you to-day an elaborate sketch of the vicinity of Island No. 10, the second Gibraltar of robeldom. The diagram explains itself, and I may say that the course of the river, the channel, the position of the island, the bluffs and landings, were given me by some of the most experienced river pilots and captains, and the reat Ihave drawn from minute personal observations, within three miles of tho central point—viz., Island No. 10—with the aid of a powerful field glass. Its accuracy may be relied on to the letter. ‘The rebel force now upon and adjacent to the island i, said by deserters to be from fifteen to twenty thousand men, and certainly, if the long rows of tents upon the Kentucky shore are any criterions to judge by, they cannot fall far short of the Istter number. The mortar boats. or two of them at least, were positioned yesterday about two and a half miles above the island, and thegun ners amused themselves for two or’three hours in throw. ing thirteen-inch shells over into the rebel works, with what effect is, of course, unknown. ‘Tho rebels have five gunboats located a couple of milo below the island, which replied to us sharply; but thoy “must have fired blank cartridges, for no balls or shells made their appearance in our vicinity. The contest will be resumed to-day if the weather will permit. The river banks are more than full at present, and the flat lands aro overflown, #0 as to preclude the possibility of communication with our forces at New Madrid; conse. quently we know nothing of what is going on at that point, NEWS FROM FORTRESS MONROE. Arrivals from the Gulf—Affairs at Ship Island, &. Battmors, March 19, 1862. ‘The steamer from Old Point has arrived, but brings no news ef importance. By the gunboat Sciota, at Fortress Monroe, we have dates from Ship Island to March 8. The Pensacola ar- rived thore on the 28th ult.; also the storeship National Guard. ‘The Niagara left for parts unknown oh the $d instant, and the Hartford was getting up steam to follow, ~ ‘Wasuinaton, March 19, 1862. The United States supply steamer Rhode Island, with mails and despatches from the Gulf, arrived at Hampton Roads on the 18th inst." During her trip she supplied ninety-cight vessols with fresh provisions. The follow- ing items are taken from despatches brought by her, which were received at the Navy Department:— On the 19th of February the United States steamer Now London captured twelve small schooners and sloops» with their crews of about thirty men (fishormen and oystermen), who had been engaged in plioting small ves- sels attempting to run the blockade, and in reporting tO the rebels the movements of our squadron. The majo- rity of the prisoners were released on signing a parole; but seven of them, though expressing no objection to take the oath, refused to returm to New Orleans, and re- mained on board the Niagara. March 5, the United States steamer Water Witch captured off St. Andrew's Bay, weat coast of Florida, the rebel schooner William Mallory, of Mobile, from Havana February 28, and bound wherever she could make & port, She isa schooner of 108 tons burthon and is are, markably fast sailer, having been chased five hours and fired at several times before sho would heave to. Her cargo is an assorted one, and has been sent to Key West for adjutication, February 25, the United States bark Kingfshor boarded in the Gif, about 200 miles south of the coast of Louisiana, a schooner, under British colors. ing hor 420 miles, during three days and nights, and losing sight of her, she refused to heave to or ow any flag after having four shots fired at her tho ‘ternoon previous, and only did so at last on a shell be- ing sent 80 close to her as to show that escape was no longer possible. she proved to be the Lion, formerly tho Alexander, of Parkersyillo, Texas, and sailed from Havana February 21 for Matamoros, with a cargo con- sisting of 250 bags of coffee, 80 boxes of soap, 50 boxes of sheet tin, 1 barre! nitre, 100 boxes and 1 quintal of gunpowder and a variety of other articles. A Confere- rate (ag wos found in her cabin. Academy of Musie. This establishment reopened last night for a short sea- sovot opera, the “Ballo in Maschera’? being presented with some additional features of attraction in the debut of the fascinating Spanish dancer, Senorita Cubas, aided by an extensive corps de ballet. The opera has been played co frequently of late, with the same cast, that it is upneceasary for us to enter intoa fresh criticism of the performance. All that remains for us to say is, that there was no hitch in it from colds or other causes. All the artists sang with spirit, inspired, no doubt, by the presenee of a crowded and exceedingly fashionable audience, the most so that we have witnessed at any of the previous representations of this opera, which, some. how, notwithstanding tho light and agreeable charactor of its music, does not seem to bo as great a favorite with our public as Verdi's other works. ‘The masquerade and ball scene offered on this occa- sion something of the animation and picturesquoncss which properly belong to is. Instead of the crowd of unmeaning dominos which have Serene made up the sum total of its samaree : ar sharacters were introduced from of ‘a apart it variety and life. The galop b; corps de He. brlket might have been better danced ; bul a still an ieee on the confused movements of a mixed crowd of queradors, Including non-professionals, who were shut outon this occaion, At its conclusion Senorita Cubas and Senor Ximenes came forward, and were vory warm- ly received. The ‘‘Gitanolla @ Curro” exhibits in thi mort characteristic manner the peculiarities of the Span- ish style of dancing. Its movements are marked by voluptuovpness and preatesse rather than by the exquisite grace and finish which a to the Italian school. We recogn.ze no hing of Taglioni or Cerito in the abrupt and startling evolutions displayed in it, but we find La ae original, and in its way almost as perform. ‘The audience enoored the anco, and the Sencrita ceoetved 9 plentiful tributes of its |- patistuetion In the form of bonquete, The new waits by Brignoli, daneed by the corps de ballet, is a graceful and well timed compoaltion, with some good orchestral effects, It will, no doubt, become very popular.. The Mazourka, by SouoritaCubis and Senor Ximones, with which this portion of the masquerade scene wound up, was very charmingly danced. Altogether the opera was very much improved by the introduction of these agrocable features. To-night Masanielio” will be given, with the Senorita in the role of Fonella, It in a considerable time since this opera has boen Produce , Aad it will, no doubt, draw a crowded house.

In London the rate for call loans is' 134 a2 per cent per annum. Foreign exchange closed firm, and an advance in both gold and bills is anticipated at the foreign banking houses. We are certainly importing more than we can pay for in’ produce, and if we begin to settle the balance against us in specie, a demand for the precious metal will arise which, in the opinion of speculators, will cause an advance in the premium on coin to4 a 5 per cent.

The news from Europe, per Anglo-Saxon, led to an increase in the demand for Erie securities; the preferred rose 3{, and the common stock %, at the morning board. Some of tho Westcrn shares arc hammered by bear speculators, who fancy that they can depress them ; we learn, however,.that the stocks are not more plentiful than they were, and the chances are that if the news continues good, and money abun- dant, they will rather advance than decline. Mean- while the bears contrived to depress Toledo 5% this morning, and Galona and: Illinois Central 14 each. Michigan Southern is firm; the Sinking Func bonds sold this morning at 9134.
