ADVERTISEMENTS FOR THE COUNTRY. Advertisements for the Westy Heratp should be handed in before ten o'clock on Wednesday evening. THE SITUATION. An attack by the rebel cavalry, one hundred strong, was made yesterday on our cavalry patrol on the telegraph road, between Dumfries and the Occaquan. Eight of our men were captured. An expedition from General Hooker's army, un- dev Colonel Fairchild, which was sent out recently to Northern Neck, returned to Belle Plain yester- day after a successful forage, in which they got possession of three hundred pounds of bacon, one thousand pounds of pork, two hundred and thirty bushels of wheat, three thousand bushels of corn, fifteen bushels of white beans and = large quantity of oats were secured. The cavalry seized a number of valuable horses and mules, captured several prisoners and broke up the ferries at Union wharf and Tappahannock. Colone! Fairchild also burned a schooner engaged ig smuggling contraband goods into Virginia. All is quiet on the Rappahannock. A despatch from Cincinnati says that the rebel raid iu Kentucky. has proved a failure, and that intelligence from Murfreesboro says:—‘‘The rebels report 15,000 Union troops at Savannah, Tenn.; that Grenada is in our possession, and that Gen. Grant's forces are surrounding Vicksburg.”’ The daring attempt of Admiral Farragyt to pass the rebel batteries at Port Hudson, on the Missis- sippi, as well as of the co-operating movement of the army under General Banks, are fully and gra- phically described in the letters of our special correspondents which we publish to-day. The Hartford (flagship) and the Aibatross were the only two vessels that succeeded in running the gauntlet. The firing is described as having been most terrific and continuous. The Richmond made vigorous’ efforts to go by the batteries; but after firing for over an hour was disabled, and had to withdraw. The loss of the Mis- sissippi by fire is fully confirmed. The army ope- rations were brilliant and successful so far as the commanding General intended it should be. The accounts sre in every way worthy of attentive perusal, coming as they do from our own reliable correspondents who were in the thickest of the battle. By this arrival we also learn that the steamer Bio, from Havana, was completely destroyed by fire at New Orleans. We learn from Hilton Head that on the morning of the 25th inst. all the Monitors (six in number left that point, together with several wooden guu- boats and half a dozen schooners. The Ericsson had just arrived there with a floating nondescript in tow, called‘The Devil.” Its purpose is under- stood to be to clear channels of torpedoes and other obstructions. THE LEGISLATURE. A considerable amount of business was trans- acted by our State Legislature yesterday; but the most of it was not of a character te make it of im- portance to the general public, being bills and measures either local or special. In the Senate,a report was made onthe subject of locating the new Quarantine; a resolution of inquiry relative to the corporators of the Broadway Railroad was adopted, and a bill to repeal the Militia law of last session was introduced. The Assessment bill was under consideration for some time. In the Assembly the bill to incorporate the Soldier's Home was reported complete by the Judiciary Committee, and a number of bills of minor interest were acted upon. A preamble and resolution of inquiry in reference to the recruiting officers of other States enlisting soldiers in this, were introduced; but, by the mover’s consent, were afterwards tabled. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. ‘The British steamship Victoria, from Liverpool, which arrived at this port on Sunday, brings on freight 2,223 bales of cotton. The loyal citizens of Jersey City and vicinity, without distinction of party, held an immense mass meeting last night in the new Tabernacle, corner of York and Henderson streets, for the purpose of expressing their devotion to the Union and the eonstitation of the United States, and their firm determination to uphold the authority of the government and enforce the laws. Hon. B. S. Gregory, ex-Mayor ef Jersey City, presited. Hon. James T. Brady and B. M. Dickerson, Eaq., of New Jorsey, made stirring and patriotic speeches, which the pressure on our space to-day prevents as from doing justice to, and a series of resolu- tions in support of the government were adapted. Beyond an ineffectual effort of » few copperheads to raise a disturbance, the proceedings passed off with the greatest harmony and enthusiasm. The Harbor Defence Commission feiled of a quorum at their meeting last evening, owing to the absence of some of the members on & mission to Albany, by appointment, on a Joint Committee of the Common Council in relation to the legalisa- tion of Commissioners of Deeds.

We publish this morning highly interesting in- telligence from New Orleans, brought by the New Brunswick, including full accounts from our special reporters of the recent land and naval operations at and in the vicinity of Port Hudson, one of the two rebel strongholds ou the Mississippi. All doubts are now cleared up, and the news which first reached us from rebel sources, and afterwards from the Union lines above Vicksburg, appears to be substan- tially confirmed. .« The steamship Mississippi, after a glorious fight, rivalling the heroic deeds of the daya of Paul Jones, was abandoned and burned. The Hartford—the flagship of Farragut—and the Albatross passed safely through the fiery or- deal, while the rest of the fleet were repulsed, including the Richmond, which made a gallant stand, but was ultimately compelled to give way from being disabled in her steam appara- ratus. It will be seen that the report of the vessel having been sunk is without foundation. The cannonade to which the fleet was exposed in this battle is described as the most terrific since the commencement of the war. To aid the rebel gunners in directing their fire lights were placed on the river, which gave them a clear and distinct view of our vessels, making them literally so many targets for a furious rain of plunging shot, while the batteries on the bluff were completely protected, not only by their great height above the water, but by the darkness in which they were enveloped. The object of the expedition seems to have beon substantially accomplished by the bra- very and success of the old sea dog Farragut, notwithstanding the failure of the land force to render him any effective assistance. By run- ning the gauntlet of those formidable fortifica- tions he has established himself between Port Hudson and Vicksburg, thus cutting off com- pletely’their communication with the right bank of the Mississippi, and consequently with Texas, whence they derive such vast quantities of sup- plies, and also arms, ammunition and clothing across the Mexican frontier. By continually cruising up and down he can prevent the de- scent of any transports from the Red river and other water courses, and so reduce the Gibral- tar and Sebastopol of the Mississippi to surren- der by sheer starvation. This achieved, the downfall of the confederacy would not be far distant. Its resources would be dried up and circumscribed, complete success would soon crown our arms in the Southwest, and the sub- jection of the balance of the rebellious territory would rapidly follow. Such are the present and future fruits of the enterprise of the naval hero before whose daring New Orleans fell nearly one year ago. The progress of our arms may appear slow; but it is not the less sure. DiscouracemENts TO THE Reseciion.—Withia the last few days three captured Anglo-rebel steamers running the blockade, have been brought as prizes to this city. as they were, with Enfield rifles and munitions of war, the loss to the confederacy is incalculable. To this must be added the destruction near Charles- ton of the Georgiana, laden with a similar pre- cious freight and pierced for sixteen guns. She was intended to be the consort of the Alabama, and was her superior in strength and speed. Had she been jet loose on the ocean the amount of damage to our merchant marine would have been immense. These losses are most discourag- ing to the rebellion. Again, two of our ships-of- war, the Hartford and the Albatross, have run the gauntlet of the batteries of Port Hudson, and are now cruising between that point and Vicksburg, so as effectually to cut off communi- cation by way of Red river with either strong- hold, and thus to starve out both for want of supplies. With our vessels-of-war between Vicksburg and Port Hudson, both forts are neu- 1 tralized and without avail, and the control of | almost the whole of the Mississippi in the hands of the federal: power. These are great | material victories for the Union, and cannot fail ere hong te produce the mest salutary effects wpon the good cause. A New “Socmrr ror tae Dirrusion or Use- rut Krow.xvor.”—We noticed yesterday that both the copperheads and the abolitignists had started societies for the diffusion of useful political knowledge. These societies are in- tended to influence the domestic market; but it appears that a new society is in operation, de- signed to affect public opinion in foreign parts. Lord Lyons tells us, in his letter to Farl Rus- sell, published yesterday, that the democratio— “or, as they now style themselves, conserva- tive’—leaders called upon him immediately upon his return from Earope, and gave him all sorts of political information, which he of course transmitted to the British Cabinet. Well, there is something practical about this society, and Lord Lyons makes an excellent agent for it. If these leaders continue their course of instruction they may soon educate the British Cabinet into as thorough a know- ledge of our affairs as they have themselves, But that is not saying much.

While the rebols are at their wits’ ond to procure the means of subsistoucs, and their finances are ina atate of collapse, ‘we have a superabundance of provisions, and more money ia tendored §o the government than they want both from domestic and foreign capitalists. All that is needed now is @ few days of pleagant weather to enable active opera- tions to be resumed and vigorously prosecuted. CONDITION OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAO. Geveral Hooker arrived here last evening, aud has been to-day in conswltation with the Secretary of War, He had an interview with the President and returned to headquarters to-night. Ali accounts agree in represent. ing the army of the Potomac as being ta splendid condi- ton, and prepared to move at short notice when the time arrives for the commencement of active operations. YAYMENT OF ‘THE TROOPS. ‘The paymasters for troops in North and South Carolina have been orderea to bold themselves in readiness to ro- pair to’ their respective stations with money for our sol- diers in those States, All of our troops will soon be paid to the Ist of March, $30,000,000 being required for that urpose. r THE RRBEL REPORTS FROM VICKSBURG. Nothing hay been recetved at the Navy Department to- day confirmatory of the rebel report of ‘two gunboats having attempted to run the battery at Vicksburg, and one of them having been destroyed and suok and the othor badly damaged in #0 domg. The story ig not orpdit- ed hero, although it is not impossible that Admiral Porter may bave sont or attempted to send such ‘forcement to the aid of Admiral Farragnt. CONDITION OF THE REBKI, ARMY OF THE RAPP ABAN- NOCK, Deserters recently from the rebel lines speak of the genera! good health of the troops composing the Army of the Rappabannock, notwithstanding the coarseness and scarcity of their food. The information of these deserters: is limited, owing to the extreme caution of the command- ing officers in preventing one brigade from communicating with another as to their relative strength, position, &c. ‘Their impression ia, however, that the army has not been largely diminished, and that the places of the old troops withdrawn have been partially supplied with now levies, ‘Tho rebols are still engaged extending their earthworks ail wlong the iino of the Rappabannock, particularly to- wird Port Royal.

The increase of the wages of the mechanics employed in the yard is also under con- sideration, and prokably will be conceded. THE GREAT UNION MEETING. Great preparations have been made for the Union mass meeting so be held to-morrow. The government em- ployes are to be released at three o'clock to attend it, and it is suggested that places of business shall be algo closed for that parpore.
