Eleven guerillas were brought in at Fairfax on Monday, by Captain Page, of the One Huridred and Fifty-fifth New York Volun- teers, who found them enjoying the festivities of ‘8 dance on the Braddock road. The rebel pickets have lately been doubled for some distance above and below Rapidan Station, probably to stop deserters. The Second Massachusetts regiment of cavalry, one hundred and fifty strong, were attacked by bout three hundred of Mosby's guerillas near Vienna, on Monday, and Capt. Reed, who was in command, was killed. Eight of his men were killed _ Or wounded and about seventy-five were taken prisoners. The attack was made from a dense pine wood on the Dranesville pike. Mosby retreated, pursued by a qtrong party, but has not been heard of yet. Intelligence reached Memphis on the 20th that Gen. Smith's cavalry expedition found the Talla- hatchie river guarded by Gen. Forrest’s troops for fifteen miles in front of Holly Springs. While keeping them engaged with the infantry he threw his cavalry across near New Albany and entered Bontotoc City on the 17th, where skirmishing was going on at latest accounts. He was followed and cousiderably harassed by Forrest’s and Chalmer’s cavalry Advices from Vicksburg to the 16th report Mothing new from Gen. Sherman. We learn from Cairo that the gunboat Cones- toga, ten miles below the mouth of Red river, re- cently captured four rebel officers while attempt- ing to cross the river with a large rebel mail, two hundred thousand dollars in New Orleans money, thirty bales of cotton, a number of mules, horses ‘and wagons, and other property, to be delivered to the quartermaster at Natchez. Nearly three hundred rebels have been captured in the neighborhood of Helena, and sent to Nash- ville, by Gen. Buford, during the past month. Brigadier General Schimmelfénnig, with the Forty-first New York Volunteers, hada ski:m'sh with the enemy at St. John’s Island, S. C., on the 12th inst., in which he lost thirteen men. We give the names in another column. We have more interesting intelligence relative to the privateers, The Tuscaloosa has been seized at Simon's Bay, near Cape Town, by British authorities, in violation of the neu- trality laws, in landing part of a cap- tured cargo on the coast, and on the grounds that she is a United States vessel illegally seized by the pirate Semmes. The American Consul put in a claim in behalf of her former ownera. It is thought that the case will be argued Jo the Admiralty Court. Lieut. Lowe, who com- manded the Tuscaloosa, had entered a protest against the proceedings. The pirate Alabama is 1c ported, in a letter from Culculta on the Gth of January, to have been seen thirty mites south of Sand Head. CONGRESS. Both houses of Congress reassembled yesterday, after three days’ relaxation. Inthe Senate the Vice President gave notice that he would ‘be absent for a short time, where- upon Mr. Foot, of Vermont, was selected as pre- siding officer pro tem. After the reception and feference of petitions, Mr. Carlile, of Vi offered joint resolutions declaring that the war phould be prosecuted for the sole purpose of the restoration of the Union upon the basis ef the con- stitution, and requesting the President to issue a proclamation granting amnesty and pardon to the people of any rebellious State that may repudiate their ordinance of secession and return to their allegiance to tho Union, The subject was referred to the Military Committee. The Military Committee were directed te inquire as tothe expediency of increasing the number of ‘West Point cadets to four hundred. The report of the Conference Committee on the whiskey tax bo agreed to. The bill to increase the pay of lored troops was then discussed, and after an executive session and the confirmation of a large Dumbe# of appointments the Senate adjourned. In the House of Representatives the report of the Conferencg Gommittce on the whiskey tax was presented, ai after an interesting debate, in which Messrs. Stevens, Washburne, Fernando Wood, Elijah Ward and others participated, the port was rejected bya vote of fifty-seven against pon Anew Committee of Conference was on ordered. No other business of importance ‘aa transacted. “ MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The Montreal Steamship Company’s steamer Bohemian, Captain Borland, which left Liverpool on the 4th and Londonderry, Ireland, on the 5th fnst., bound to Portland, Me., struck on Alden’s Rock, four miles from Cape Elizabeth, at the en- trance of the harbor of Portland, about nine o'clock ou Monday evening last, and, having stove @hole in her engine compartment, turned over, ‘with head to shore, and sunk within an bour and a half. The sea broke over her, and several lives ave been lost by the disaster. had ninetecn cabin and one hundred and ninety- wine steerage passengers. er crew mustered Diuety-nine hands, As the ship’s papers were Baved, we are enabled to publis a complete list o names of the passengers to-doy. The cargo ! whe obemian was valued at one million of dol- fore, Onur latest despatches from Portland state Ghat ic woe thought that twenty-six persons had Deen drowned, The lowharg correspondent of the London ews, writing on the 34 of Febrnary, says:—‘Col, Kapf, 9 uative of Wurtemberg, and commander @f the exclusively German regiment of Stenben, in G¥o service of the United States, arrived at Altona pestarday from New York, and proceeded this orning to Kiel, have an interview with the ender, Be ie <ent over by the Sch! estvig- jolatein Aswociatioa of New York to offer the mediate services of a hundred officers and five oasand German soldiers, who have either all Perved in the former Schieswig-Holstein insurgent @ my Of 1543-41. or been felting im the ranks of the federal army in’ North America during the pre- sent contest.’ The’ new Monitor battery Onondage proceeded down the bay yesterday to test her machinery and armament, and in all respects she fully re- alized the expectations of her constructora, It ia rumored that she will be despatched to the South- ern coast in @ few days, under the command of Captain Melancthon Smith. The bids for the $2,000,000 county bounty loan were opened by Comptroller Brennan yesterday. The amount offered was $3,130,700, and the bids ranged from par to five and a half per cent premium, while $7,000 were offered at seven per cent pre- mium. The Board of Aldermen adjourned yesterday for want of a quorum. The Board of Supervisors met yesterday, and passed the bill forthe payment of several news- papers over the veto of Mayor Gunther. They adjourned to Tuesday next. An interesting public meeting was held last evening at the Stuyvesant Institute, No. 659 Broad- way, the great question for discussion being the amalgamation of races. ‘White men must rule America” was the caption of the public notice, and the popularity of the idea was fully proved by the numbers who attended. The meeting, although large, did not come up to what was popularly ex- pected of it. It was, in fact, a peace mecting under another name. The speakers were among some of the best known in the city; but there was nothing either original or specially attractive in their vaticinations. The working men were invited to attend; but there weregnot many present. We have no spaee for the speeches of the evening. James H. Weaver, one of the cormorant fna- ternity of substitute brokers—the first arrested, as also the first of the brotherhood to be treated to the hospitalities of Fort Lafayette—was yester- day discharged on paying over $255, the sum of which he had defrauded a young recruit named Stubeck. Weaver was arrested about six weeks ago, and, refusing to disgorge, Gen. Dix sent him to Fort Lafayette, where he remained until yester- day. Deputy Marshal Borst had the case in hand. His exposure of the fraud in the first instance ft bas been that has since led to the detection and arrest of so many substitute brokers, and to the recovery of various sums of money, and its restoration to the recruits or their families. In the case of the Bank of the Commonwealth vs. Benjamin F. Mudgett and others, referred to in yesterday's Haran, the jury yesterday rendered a verdict for the plaintiffs of $1,000 and interest, and gave it as their opinion that Mr. Mudgett en- dorsed the note for $1,000 under the supposition that it was only for $100. George W. Allerton, son of the proprietor of the Bull’s Head Hotel, which was destroyed by the rioters in July last, obtained a verdict against the city in the Supreme Court, before Judge Peckham, yesterday of $450 for destruction of personal pro- perty by the mob. Charles Raenftle commenged a suit against the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, yester- day inthe Superior Court for the recovery of $10,000, alleged to be due on a policy of insurance upon the life of the plaintiff's brother. The de- fence set up is that the case is one of fraud throughout; that some healthy person personated the sickly brother, and thus deceived the compa- ny. The case will prove quite interesting before it goes to the jury. The markets were very dull yesterday asa geveral thing, and the transactions were very limited, especially in imported merchandise The fall im gold bad a tendeacy to unsettle the market; but holders were loth to grant any concession from previous prices. On 'Change busi- ness was very moderate. Flour sold fully 5c. a 10c. off Qnd wheat nominally 2c. lower. Ccrn was lc. a2c bet ter. Whiskey was firm and hog products higher. Froights were very dull and rates mainly nominal. Cotton was heavy. Groceries were dull and declining. Petroleum was dull and heavy for crude and firm for refined. ‘The market Cor beef cattle remained in about the same state this week as Inst. There was afair supply, but nearly a | the offerings were held by speculators, who of course demanded and received full prices, ranging from 9%c. to 162.—the bulk at 123¢c.al4c. Cows were firm. One Durham was bought at $100 to sell again. Veals were firmer: sales at 7c.a10c. Sheep and lambs were about the same: sales at $10 25a $12. Swine were lower. Corn fed brought 7%{c. a 83¢¢., and still fed 7%. Tho total receipts were 4,665 beeves, 146 cows, 380 voals, 12,862 sbeop and lambs and 7,603 swin Mobile Expedition— Prospect of the War, From rebel sour¢es we have some cheering items of news concerning the progress of Gene- ral Sherman’s Mobile expedition. It thus ap- pears that on the 18th instant, with a column of thirt;-ive tiousand men, he had reached Quitman, Mississipp’, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, one buadred miles north of Mobile, and had aiven:ed to ‘hat point at the rate of fifteen mie,avay. At this rate be is doubt- less this moraing within thirty or forty miles of the city, os there was no enemy ia his front capable of making even a show of resistance. The rebels report that he tears up or destroys the railroad and bridges behind him; that “he meditates no atep backward,” but that “he will not be allowed to take Mobile without a des- perate battle.” This means that the rebels de- spair of resisting the army of Sherman. Subsistence is the only serious difficulty be- fore him. The country between Quitman and Mobile is very thinly inhabited, and may be described as an almost continuous Southern forest. It can farnish our army nothing in the way of supplies; for doubtless its scanty sur- plus products have long since been consumed The Bohemian | by the rebels themselves. General Sherman, then, we conclude, has carried from Quitman eight or ten days’ rations for his troops, and will be met in the neighborhood of Mobile with a fresh supply from the co-operating fleet of Admiral Farragut. We cannot for a moment imagine that so skilful and experienced a sol- dier as Sherman, io abandoning every line of supplies in his rear, has neglected to provide his troops with food sufficient to carry them tbrough the inhospitable wilderness before them. With regard tp Admiral Farragut’s move- ments, a rebel despatch, dated February 15, at Pascagoula, some thirty miles west of Mobile Bay, informs us that “the enemy's (Farragut’s) fleet, including the flagship, have gone enst- ward through the Sound, in the direction of Grant's Poss;” and on February 19 a despatch from Mobile says:—“Farragut has not renewed his attack on Grant’s Pass. His fleet lies in the Sound, the weather being too bad for action. No landing is reported in the direction of Pascagoula.” Thus it will appear that on the 19th Farragut was at the inside gate to Mobile Bay; eo that, in any event, with the approach of Sherman in the rear, the city must succumb; for its defensive forces, front and rear, can bardly exceed fifteen thousand mon, Like Grant, in his march around from Grand Gulf to Vicksburg, Sherman, having cut loose from his base of supplies, must reach his desti- nation within a given time or run short of pro- visions. A fow days, therefore, will determine the result, and, as this expedition is the opening movement of General Grant’s combinations for the spring campaign, we anticipate that it will be crowned with his usual success. It is in accordance with the original war programme of General Scott, and the corresponding but more minutely detailed programme of General MeCieilaa, ws Generaiia-Chief, Had their D, WEBN plans been faithfully a:pported by the Wash- ivgton political military y, the war would have been ended tong ago. Now, how- evor, as President Lincola and bis Cabinet are engrossed in their various schemes and tactics for the Presidential campaign, we have reason to believe that General Grant will be free to work out his great military desigas, and thet accordingly they will be eo completely success- ful that the last army of the rebellion will have collapsed before the Fourth of July Let President Lincoln attond to the combi- nations of his political campaign against Chase and Fremont, and give to General Meade and the Army of the Potomac the opportunity which they desire for an advance upon the enemy, and before the return of summer, ia conjunction with General Grant, thoy will put an end to the rebellion. Parent Riaats 1x Coneress.—We learn from Washington that parties are at work to obtain from Congress an extension of Goodyear’s india rubber patent right. This right bas already had two extensions, and the compavy bas amassed some twenty-five millions of dollars. It is now proposed to give it.a seven years’ fur- ther lease of extortion upon the poople and government of the United States, and a chance to accumulate twenty-five millions more. This is one of the biggest patent right operations of the times. The goverment is obliged to pay enormously for everything manufactured out of this patemted rubber fabrio in the shape of sol- diers’ blankets, clothing, and the oumbérless articles of comfort and convenience required for the use of soldiers in the field, whereas, if their manufacture were left open to compoti- tion, the cost would be greatly leas. Why do not the newspaper correspondents in Washington watch and expose these things? If the corres- pondents of the Associated Preas were worth a button they would do so without a hint from any quarter. Qup Ase’s Larasr Joxe—In hig spesch made at the opening of the Patent Office Fair in Washington a few days since, Old Abe reflected mournfully upon the difficulty of “saying a sensible thing now-a-days.” This difficulty is perhaps the result of the very humorous and laughable condition of our national affairs. Every new event merely provokes new and most ridiculous mirth, aod to be sensible is to be absurd. Or it may be because Old Abe has hitherto in his jokes ox- hausted all that has been recognized as sensi- ble from Solomon and Solon down. Tox ADMINISTRATION AT& BY THE Eana.— The Presidential contest bas commenced with avengeance. It has threatened and rumbled like a coming storm for some time, but final- ly bas broken. out, and its northwest wind is in full blast. Matters are at their dangerous point in this storm, and it is impossible that the present Uabinet can go on much longer as it has done and remain intact, with two or three Presidential aspirants in it, mining aod countermining, and trying.to blow each other to the moon. We shall presently see.some one of these engineers “hoist by his own petard.” Secrerary Cuask IN a Quanpary.—Secre- tary Chase now says that he bad no knowledge of the Pomeroy manifesto previous to its pub- lication. But it has been published two or three days, and he has some knowledge of it now. How can ho possibly remain in Cabinet then, conscious that he is the p spokesman of the party that entertai: views of the head of the Cabinet? He ought to resign or he ougbt to repudiate the Pomeroy party and its views. MEADE’S ARMY. Mr. J. R. Trembly’s Di Coursrrer, Va, ARRIVAL OF AN BSCAPED PRISONER FROM RICHMOND. One of the escaped prisoners from Richmoad came into our lines near Mitchell's station yesterday morning. He travelied along she railroad to Louisa Court House, aod saw very few troops on tho road. He hired a negro to pilot him through the rebot army. Coming in the night through the woods, avoiding the camps, ho reached the river in safety, and crossod by lying down and pulling himself over on the ice. He was discovered by three sentinels just as be reached this side, but was out of roach of their guns. THR REBRL MOKETA STRENGTHENED Tbe rebel picketg havo lately been doubled for sume distance above and below Rapidan Station, either to cover a weakening of their forces or to lesson the chances of escape for deserters, who still come through almost daily. GUBRILLAS CAPTURED. Elevon guerillas were brought in at Fairfax yesterday by Captain Page, of Company C, One Hundred and Fifty-fifth Now York Volunteers, who, with his company, went out the night before to their place of rendezvous, ‘seven miles on the Braddock road, and found them eo- joying the festivities of a dance asa finale to a busincas meeting. Some arms and ammunition found iaa neiga voring house wore also brought. FIRING IN THE REWSL CAMPH, Firing was herd yesterday in the rebel camps south of the Rapidan, and it was thought by some that they were colebgating Washington's Birthday. NEWS FROM THE MISSISSIPPI.

The steamer Grabam, from Momphis yesterday, has arrived here, with ninety bales of cotton Cor St, Louis.
