Nashville, Tennessee, was occupied on the 24th 
ult. by 10.000 troops under Gen. Buell. The Fed¬ 
eral flag is now dying over the State House. The 
Tennessee Legislature adjourned Saturday week, 
and met again on the 23d ult, at Memphis. All the 
rebel troops bad left Nashville, except the police 
force, when Gov. Harris fled with the Legislature 
to Memphis. He burned the State Library, and dis¬ 
tributed a large amount of commissary stores and 
provisions among the citizens. Stores were closed, 
and business entirely suspended. Rebels wen . 1 
The names of the rebel men-of-war destroyed by 
our vessels since the fleet reached Hatteras Inlet are 
as follows:—Sea Bird, flag steamer: Curlew and 
Fanny, both steamers, and the Black Warrior, a 
schooner. The steamer Ellis was captured. A new 
gunboat One the stocks at Elizabeth City was also 
destroyed, making seven vessels in all. Each of 
the first six were remarkably well armed as gun¬ 
boats. All of them, excepting the Curlew, were 
destroyed or captured in the attack on Elizabeth 
City, and it may be proper to mention that, the whole 
of them, saving of course the one on the stocks, were 
struck by our projectiles of one kind and another in 
the course of the engagement on the 7th inst. 
As our forces took immediate possession of Eden- 
ton, part of a flying artillery regiment, variously 
estimated at from 150 to 300, fled precipitately with¬ 
out firing a gun. Many of the inhabitants also left 
in consequence. There are no fortifications at or in 
the water approaches to Edenton. Among the re¬ 
sults of the expedition are the destruction of eight 
cannon, and one schooner on the stocks at Edenton.

The following notice to the public has just been 
published: 
The undersigned, on behalf of the Commissioners 
appointed by the President to represent, the interests 
of such American citizens as might desire to appear 
at the exhinition of the industry of all nations, to 
be held in.the city of London during the present 
year, submits tin* following statement: 
The Congress of die United States, after due con¬ 
sideration, has declined to adopt any measures to 
further a national representation with our works of 
indnsfrv. invenliou and art. at the albrc-mentioned 
exhibition. 
Tlie authority of the Commissioners has therefore 
ceased. They have advised the Commissioners 
appointed by the British Government that there will 
be Do general participation on the part of the citi¬ 
zens of this country on that occasion, but they have 
thonn-ht it not, improper at the same time to recom¬ 
mend to the consideration of the royal commission¬ 
ers, such works nt industry and art as have received 
ment. The rebel forces under Albert Johnson are 
being steadily pressed backward by Gen. Buell. 
Cotton to the value of $100,000 has fallen into our 
hands at Nashville, and the Treasury Department 
bos taken measures to have it brought to New York. 
The President has designated Hon. Andrew 
Johnson to be a Brigadier-General, and he proceeds 
to Tennessee to immediately open a military pro¬ 
visional government for Tennessee until the civil 
government shall be re-constructed.

By dispatches from Bolivar, Jeff. Co., Va,, we 
learn that since the 23d ult. Harper’s Ferry and its 
vicinity have changed hands. 
Our advance guard, consisting of the 28th Penn¬ 
sylvania regiment, passed over the Potomac from 
Sandy JTook to Harper’s Ferry, before daybreak on 
Monday morning, by a rope ferry, and took posses¬ 
sion of the town. Next day ample provision for the 
transportation of troops over the river was provided, 
and our advanced guard was considerably re-en- 
foroed. Bolivar, Charlestown, and a considerable 
portion of the country on both banks of the Shenan¬ 
doah are now occupied by our troops. On the ap¬ 
proach of our army the enemy retired with the 
exception of about, twenty, who have been captured. 
The people in this town and the neighboring places, 
which our troops have occupied, were in a condition 
bordering on starvation. There arc comparatively 
few of the inhabitants here new, and they all profess 
Union sentiments and great delight at being relieved 
from the thraldom which has oppressed them for the 
last six months. Many refugees are returning. 
The right wing of the army has considerably cur¬ 
tailed the rebel territory in Virginia, and made a 
foothold tor itself which all the power of the rebel¬ 
lion cannot wrest from it. 
The enemy has made sad havoc among the residences 
of the Union people here since the departure of ottr 
troops. So far no opposition has been given to our 
advance, not a hostile shot having been fired. Gen. 
Banks has established his head quarters on the road 
from Harper’s Ferry to Bolivar. 
The enemy shelled the trains to-day at Berlin, as 
they were passing down to Baltimore, but their 
practice was bad, and out of 12 shots fired only two 
exploded, and none of them did any damage. 
The plans ot Gen. McClellan are being rapidly 
unfolded, and yon may rely upon It from my own 
personal observation, that the brave young chieftan 
is diligently as well as skillfully laboring to crush 
the monster rebellion at the earliest moment. 
The telegraph to the 2d instant says:— The main 
body ot Gen, Banks’ division rests in the* vicinity of 
Charlestown. No disaster or accident has occurred, 
since Us incorporation in the departure from Sandy 
Hook, to cause any anxiety to the friends at home. 
Three inches of snow fell to-day. 
The hitherto rank secessionists now pay marked 
respect to the federal uniforms. The citizens who

copy, twenty to get it at $1.25, Ac. But, in answer to frequent 
inquiries, we would state that, in cases where from four to sit 
copies are ordered at $i..V) each, with a reasonable prospect of 
filling up a club of tan, we will send them - and when the club 
is completed shall send extra copy, Ac. We also send twelve to 
eighteen copies at the rata for twenty ($1 25 per copy,) where 
the person sending is laboring for and is confident of obtaining 
a full club. This will accommodate those who do not wish to wait.

The British steamship Lebanon, of Hull, arrived 
at New York on the 28th ult, in charge of prize of¬ 
ficers. The Lebanon is an iron steamer, built in 
1856, lor Bailey &, Latham, and cost £32,000 sterling. 
In November she was chartered by the Jerseys, of 
Manchester, to run between Havana and some part, 
of the Southern coast The Lebanon was captured 
by the Federal sloop-of-war Portsmouth. Her po¬ 
sition at the time was a few "miles to the northward 
of Brecca Chica, a small village near the Rio 
Grande. A steamer loaded with cotton was just 
inside the bar watching an opportunity to come up 
and discharge, hut as soon as the Portsmouth came 
to anchor she steamed up the river. The Lebanon, 
after her capture, was ordered to Ship Island, and 
from thence to New York. She has on board the 
cargo of the schooner Ware, captured while on her 
passage from New Orleans to Matamoras, with a 
cargo of tobacco and cotton. 
from the deparlmetil of war. The amount of the

probably exceeds‘$40.000,00c. It is impossible to 
borrow advantageously until financial measures 
necessary to secure the prompt payment of the

by notes to be issued under the act of Congress just 
passed cannot lie provided except after the lapse 
of considerable time required for their preparation 
or completion.

for some measure of relief, and after much reflection 
have determined to submit to (he consideration of

would probably answer most purposes ot actual 
payment and afford very considerable relief, while

proved, the earliest possible action of Congress, 
I remain, with great respect

The King of Siam, in his letter to President Lin¬ 
coln, accompanying valuable presents, says: 
“Elephants are regarded tts the most remarkable 
of large quadrupeds by Americans, so that if any 
one has un elephant’s tusk of large size and will 
deposit it in any public place, the people crowd by 
thousands coming to see it; lor this and other things 
he offered to send elephants to be let loose to 
increase and multiply in the continent of America." 
The President in his reply remarks: “This gov¬ 
ernment would not hesitate to avail itself of so gen¬ 
erous an offer, if the object were one which could be 
made practically useful in the present condition of 
the United State-s. Our situation, however, does not 
reach a latitude so low as to favor the multiplica¬ 
tion of elephants; and steam on land as well as 
water has been our best and most efficient agent of 
transportation in internal commerce.” 
The War Department has received a highly satis¬ 
factory report from Gen. Wool as to the military 
condition and state of preparation for any military 
operations at Fortress Monroe. During last week 
interviews were had between Wool and Howell 
Cobb, of the rebel army, respecting the exchange of 
prisoners. It is expected that arrangements will be 
made which will speedily release all United States 
prisoners and regulate exchange in future. 
First Assistant Postmaster-General Kasson is en¬ 
gaged in sending out instructions and making 
arrangements for re-establishing post offices and 
post routes, as our armies advance into the so-called 
Confederate States. A. H. Markland is following up 
the forces into Tennessee; and J, J. Miller, also an 
agent of the Department in this connection, is oper¬ 
ating in the southern part of Kentucky. The Post- 
office at Nashville, and those in the eastern part of 
North Carolina, will soon be re-opened. The latter 
State is to be supplied with mails by sea. 
The House bill for the apportionment of members 
of Congress among the States, was to-day passed in 
both Houses, with an amendment which gives an ad¬ 
ditional member to Vermont, Rhode Island, Pennsyl¬ 
vania, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and Minnesota, in 
consequence of the Large fraction in the population 
of these States, not represented by the law as it first

A bill has been prepared by the Committee on 
Territories, and will be reported by their Chairman, 
Mr. Ashley, of the House, probably to-day, provid¬

tection of our military and naval forces in the States

HuudredB of contrabands are hourly seeking 
refuge within our lines, but they are allowed to roam 
at large, without trouble or care. In fact, but little 
notice is taken of them, except to prevent their 
return beyond our posts. 
The general reports from Winchester are conflict- 
ing, but little reliance can be placed upon them, 
coming as they do from refugees and contrabands. 
The military commanders are undoubtedly better 
informed than the public, and are consequently pre¬ 
pared for any emergency which may arise. 
Considerable flour accredited to tho secession 
army has been seized, but private property has been 
strictly respected by the Federal troops. Martins- 
-burg is now occupied by tho Union troops. 
The Navy Department has received dispatches 
from Com. Goldsborough, dated Feb. 20th. lie 
had received the official accounts of the visits our 
vessels made to Edenton and to tho Currituck 
Canal, the latter being the popular designation of 
the link of the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, 
connecting North River with Currituck Sound. It 
appears that the obstructions of this link were 
mostly the work of tho enemy. The light-house at 
Cape Ilatteras may now be lighted with perfect 
safety. 
The actual number of prisoners taken at Roanoke 
Islatid is 2,488 ; 
The following is the official loss on the part of the 
Federal forces at the capture of Roanoke Island.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON - , 
The birth day of Washington was chosen for the 
nomination to the Senate of Gen, Scott as Minister 
Extraordinary to Mexico, with, it is said, functions 
such as he exercised in the pacification of the North¬ 
eastern Boundary. Accompanying this nomination 
the project of a treaty went into the Senate, whose 
principal feature was substantially the assumption 
of the Mexican debt The interest on this amounts 
to $3,000,000. The treaty guarantees our payment 
of it lor live years. 
Ten million dollars is the sum appropriated by 
Congress lor the complete construction and equip¬ 
ment of iron clad vessels, for river, harbor, and 
coast defences, and for which the Navy Department 
invites propositions. It has been determined to 
furnish no plans, but to leave the submission to the 
contractors, in order to develop the latent genius in 
designs best calculated for effective purposes, and 
the Department will make its selections accordingly. 
The Agricultural Department of the Patent Office 
received a letter from North Carolina recently, 
stating that collections of cotton seed were being 
made at Roanoke Island and other points in that' 
State, which will be sent hither at an early day. 
The seed will be distributed for the purpose ol 
experiment through the Middle and Northern States. 
Several days have passed since a gun has been 
fired from the rebel batteries on the Lower Potomac, 
although numerous vessels have sailed by them, up 
and down, in the day time and night. Although the 
rebel cannon seem to be in their places, our officers 
begin to doubt whether it be not their counterfeit 
presentment, in the shape of blackened logs, and 
whether the gunners have not left the banks of the 
Potomac. 
The following order, in respect to military intelli¬ 
gence by telegraph, mail, or otherwise, was issued 
by the Secretary of War on the order of the 
President: 
War Department, "Washington, Feh. 24.

however obtained, and by whatever medium re- 
ceived. not authorized by official authority men¬

Wk have but few changes to make this week. Mess Pork has 
advanced $l,00(a)l,50 per barrel, and U firm. Dressed Hogs are 
worth 25w50 ceuta per 100 younda than at the data of our last 
report. Lard has moved up Sl.uO per 100 pounds. 
The foregoing are all the changes observable,- and these it will 
be noticed are confined exclusively to Port There seems to be 
a like forward movement throughout the country, and heavy 
investments are being made. A Cincinnati dispatch dated Sat¬ 
urday afternoon, says:—^"Yesterday the whole stock Oi pork 
here —worth over six mUlious of dollars —was taken outof 
market, and an advance of a dollar and a half per barrel, or 
eleven dollars, freely Offered, refused. Orders have been tele¬ 
graphed here, to the commission merchants, to purchase at anv 
price. The cau.se of this a peculation is no doubt the prospective 
openiog of the Southern market to Western provisions."

Among the passengers by the Baltimore is Chas. 
Henry Foster, who was yesterday reported killed at 
^ iotoo. The election ordered by the provisional 
government of North Carolina, to take place on 
Saturday, resulted, as far as the returns have been 
received, in the re-election of Mr. Foster to Con¬ 
gress. The ordinances of the Convention were also 
ratified. 
The object of the expedition of the 9th New York 
regiment, was to destroy tho railroad bridges on the 
Blackwater and Chowan rivers. The enemy, how- 
e\er, were discovered in large force at Winton, and 
no landing was made. The enemy fired at our gun¬ 
boats, and in retaliation the town was shelled.
