ROCHESTER, N. Y., MARCH 26, 1864. 
The Army in Virginia. 
Tiir Washington Star of the inth inst., 
says:—“From parties who arrived here from 
the front to-day, we learn that a rebel advance 
was anticipated yesterday, and marching orders 
were issued to all commands. After, however, 
all had been packed and all was in readiness for 
a move, the order was countermanded and 
things have returned to their usual order. 
Firing was heard all along our lines yesterday, 
but this was supposed to he merely artillery 
practice. This morning, however, firing was 
heai-d in the direction of Dumfries, and it 
sounded as though there was some skirmishing 
going on there.” 
The excitement about the threatened raid by 
Stuart has subsided. A detachment, of the 
enemy crossed the Rappahannock, at Freder¬ 
icksburg, on Wednesday night. The following 
day Col. Bryan, of the 18th Pa. cavalry, captured 
twenty of them. Friday morning a detachment 
of the enemy crossed Morton’s Ford and drove 
in the 7th Mich, pickets but were subsequently 
repulsed, and forced to re-cross the river. 
Stuart is massing cavalry at Charlottesville, 
where he lias three brigades, and at Fredericks¬ 
burg, where he has two. 
The report that the enemy had effected a 
crossing at Racoon Ford is not correct. 
Twelve deserters from the tftth Louisiana 
have arrived within our lines during the last 
three days, the first from that regiment,. They 
had got hold of the President’s proclamation 
distributed in Kilpatrick's raid. 
The Herald's Western Virginia dispatch of 
the 16th says:—All is quiet iu the Shenandoah 
Valley. There are no movements of the enemy 
of a serious character. 
Latest information from Kanawha Valley 
don’t confirm the rumor that the enemy’s force 
is moving on Barboursville. 
There is no positive information that the 
enemy designs an extensive raid in the Kanawha 
region, still the enemy are preparing, in the 
neighborhood of New River, for as yet unknown 
movements. 
The Tribune's Fortress Monroe dispatch gives 
details of the expedition to Kings and Queens 
counties, and says, two Union officers who lately 
escaped from Libby prison were rescued. 
One of Longstreet’s men who was captured 
reports Longstreet's force at Richmond and 
likely to remain there for the present. 
The charge of our men on the rebel camp of 
the 5th and 9th Virginia cavalry was very gal¬ 
lant and was: performed in the midst of a severe 
rain storm with mud knee deep. About twenty 
rebels were killed and seventy taken prisoners. 
The rebels were chased ten mites. 
The N. Y. Herald's Norfolk letter says:—The 
last expedition resulted in the destruction of 
King and Queen Court House, where the gallant 
Dahlgren was ambushed and murdered. The 
defeat of the 5th and 9lh Virgiuia Cavalry by 
the expedition has already been stated. The 
guerrillas are pretty thoroughly driven out of 
Mathews and Middlesex counties. The notori¬ 
ous guerrilla. Bob Colton, was among the killed. 
We had none killed, and but half a dozen 
wounded. 
Gen. Grant formally assumed the command of 
the armies of the United States on the 17th inst. 
The following is his order ou the subject: 
Headquartkhs Armies or tub U. S .,) 
Nashville;, Turin , March 17. 5 
In pursuance of the following order of the 
President: 
Executive Mansion. } 
Washington, 1). C., March 10. f 
Under the authority of the act of Congress to 
appoint the grade of Lieutenant-General in the 
army, of Feb. ‘29tb, 1864, Lieut.-Gcn. Ulysses 
8. Grant, U. S. A., is appointed to the command 
•of the armies of the United 8tat.es. 
Abka n am Lincoi.n. 
I assume command of the armies of the United 
States. Headquarters will be in the field, ami, 
until further orders, will be with the army of 
the Potomac. There will be an office head¬ 
quarters in Washington, 1>. C., to which all 
official communications will be sent, except, those 
from the army where the headquarters are at 
the date of their address. U. 8. Grant, 
Lieutenant-General. 
Department of the South. 
Gen. Gilmore’s Chief of Staff states that 
the lower part, of Charleston is nearly de¬ 
stroyed, and that only the upper part is now 
occupied by t roops. 
The rebels art: stated to have a large force in 
North Carolina distributed along the railroad 
line from Petci'sbui’g to Wilmington. 
Longstreel, it is said, will lie appointed com¬ 
mander in Southern Virginia, and Kirby Smith 
takes his place in East Tennessee. 
The gunboat Bombshell arrived at Plymouth, 
N. 0., on the 12th, from the Chowan River. She 
reports that a crowd of negroes awaited her 
coming down the river, and that the rebels 
opened on her from their batteries on the banks, 
rendering it Impossible for her to proceed. Her 
commander sent to Plymouth for assistance. 
The gunboats Southfield and Whitehead were 
dispatched to the scene, as was also the Massa- 
soit with 100 infantry on hoard. The gunboats 
opened on the enemy and shelled them for live 
hours, when the rebels dispersed and the river 
was opened. A 100-pound Parrot gun exploded 
mi board the Southfield wounding two men. 
There were no other casualties ou our vessels. 
On the 9t|i inst., an advance was made on 
.Suffolk, N. C., by the 2d colored cavalry. Col. 
Cole, with seven companies, advanced on the 
south-eastward. Lieut.-Col. Pond, with two 
companies, and Lieut. Snyder with one company, 
on the south road. Lieut. Snyder first encoun¬ 
tered the enemy, consisting of Ransom’s entire 
brigade of infantry, cavalry and artillery, 
Lieut. Snyder sent a courier to Col. Cole, who 
went to his assistance and met the enemy al 
Suffolk, where a severe fight of an hour’s dura¬ 
tion took place. Col. Cole shot the commander 
of the rebel cavalry and attempted to cover the 
retreat of Lieut.-Col. Pond, hut the enemy with 
their superior numbers intercepted him, forcing 
him to retreat across the canal where he re¬ 
organized. Lieut.-Col, Pond came up the Smith 
Road, attacking the enemy in the rear, while 
Col. Cole attacked them in front—thus cutting 
their way through the enemy’s ranks, thereby 
saving the command. Deserters say that the 
enemy lost 67. Our loss was 20 in killed, 
wounded and missing. 
Lieut. Van Leir, of the 2d colored cavalry, 
was killed. Our men behaved courageously. 
The enemy retreated across the Blaekwnter, 
fearing a re-enforcement which promptly arrived 
at Suffolk, under Gen. Heckman. Our forces 
now hold possession of Suffolk. 
The hanging of 51 Union soldiers at Kinston, 
and the reported hanging of several companies 
of the 2d North Carolina (white) regiment, in 
Weston, N. C.. recently captured by the rebels, 
has given a fresh start to the enlistment of con¬ 
script deserters, who are eager to avenge their 
atrocities. 
Free schools were about being organized in 
Newborn, Washington, Beaufort and other 
places, for the education of many poor white 
children. 
The Newbern Times again urges the sending 
of 50,000 troops to North Carolina. Newbern i- 
so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by 
the rebels, but the time has come when a Fed¬ 
eral army should penetrate the interior of the 
State, carrying the banner of social and politi¬ 
cal emancipation. 
A Jacksonville (Fla.) letter in the Post, dated 
March 17, reports heavy firing up the river. 11 
is understood to be our gunboats feeling the rebel 
lines. Later that day our advance, commanded 
by Col. Henry Curuly, was attacked and driven 
in from a second position, with a loss of a num¬ 
ber wounded. 11 was expected the rebels would 
make an attack on Jacksonville next day : if not, 
our forces would soon advance. 
The Navy Department has received official in¬ 
formation of the following captures: 
On February 15th, the United States bark 
Roebuck captured in India River, abreast of 
Fort (’apron, the British sloop Two Brothers 
from Nassau, hound to Dixie, and laden with 
salt, liquor, dry goods and nails. On the 27th, 
the Roebuck captured at the same place the 
British sloop Mira, from Nassau, bound to Sand 
I’oint, laden with liquors, coffee and dry goods. 
On the 29th, Ihe same vessel captured the 
schooner Rebel with a cargo of liquor, cotton, 
&e. On March 1st the Roebuck also Captured 
the British schooner Loretlo, laden with five 
hundred and twenty-six bags of salt, two miles 
from the entrance of Indian River. These prizes 
were all sent to Key West for adjudication. 
Movements in the West and South-West 
Mississippi.— Miyor-General W. T. Sher¬ 
man, in a dispatch dated Vicksburg, Feb. 27, 
via Cairo, March 10, addressed the following to 
Lieut.-Gen. Grant, care of Maj.-Gen. Halleck: 
General:—I got in this morning from Can¬ 
ton, where I left my army in splendid heart and 
condition. We reached Jackson February Olh; 
crossed the Pearl and passed through Brandon 
to Morton, where the enemy made dispositions 
Tor battle, but fled in the night. 
We posted on over all obstacles, and reached 
Meridian Feb. 14. Gen. Folk having a railroad 
to assist him on his retreat, escaped across the 
Tomblgbee on the 17th. We stayed at Meridian 
a week, and made the most complete destruction 
of the railroad over beheld. South, below Quit- 
man. east to Cuba Station, twenty miles north to 
Lauderdale Springs, and west all the way back 
to Jackson, 1 could hear nothing of the cavalry 
force of Gen. Win. Smith, ordered to he there 
Feb. 10th. 1 enclose this by mail with a copy 
of his inst ructions. 
1 then began to give back slowly, making a 
circuit by the north to Canton, where 1 left t he 
army yesterday in splendid condition. I will 
leave ft there five days in the hopes that the cav¬ 
alry from Memphis will turn up there. Then 1 
will have them come in. 
Major-Gun. Butterfield, under date of Cairo, 
March 11th, has addressed the following to 
Lieut.-Gcn. Grant or Halleck: 
Gen. Sherman arrived yesterday at Memphis. 
His command is all safe. Our total loss in killed, 
wounded and missing is 17b. The general result 
of the expedition, including Smith's and the 
Yazoo river movement is about as follows:—15o 
miles of railroad, 67 bridges, 7,000 feet of tressle, 
2b locomotives, 28 ears, 10,000 bales of cotton, 
several steam mills, and over two millions of 
bushels of corn were destroyed. The railroad 
destruction is complete and thorough. The 
captives and prisoners exceeds all Joss, rip- 
wards of 8,i.iiio contrabands and refugees came 
in with the various columns. 
There was quite a battle at Yazoo City on the 
5th between the negro troop* stationed there and 
a large force of rebels, who made an attack on 
the place. The rebel* gained possession of part 
of the city, but the gunboats coming up opened 
fire ou them, encouraging the negroes, who 
charged and drove them back. The estimated 
force of the enemy in the recent light at, Yazoo 
City was five thousand mou with four pieces of 
artillery. Thu 8lh Louisiana colored volunteers 
lost 80 killed, wounded and missing. The 1st 
Miss, cavalry and the llth regiment lost 30. 
Nine out of the 18 officers of the 8th Louisiana 
were found dead. 
Arkansas. —Partial election returns from 11 
counties give more votes than the whole number 
required by the President’s proclamation to 
replace Arkansas in the Union. The other 
Counties, 43 in number, will give fully 5,000 
vote* more. The new State Constitution, formed 
by the last Convention, was almost unanimously 
ratified, there being, so Jar, only 137 votes against 
it. Arkansas lias thus been declared a free 
State in the Union, by the voluntary action of its 
own citizens. Gov. Isaac Murphy and the 
whole free State ticket is elected. Guerrilla 
hands made violent threats; nevertheless the citi¬ 
zens were enthusiastic in their determination to 
vote the State back into the Union, many goiiq 
to the poll' at the risk of their lives. The mili¬ 
tary authorities used every exertion to proteet 
voters.

It is announced that Minister Dayton ha- 
served a written notification on the French Em¬ 
peror that if Ihe tcbe.l cruiser, Rappahannock 
now at. Calais, is allowed to proceed to sea, the
