spiked. Some of the guns which wo have taken 
possession of appear to bo valuable pieces. This is 
virtually opening the Potomac, and opening the so- 
called blockade. 
Col. Geary lias taken Leesburgb, and driven tho 
rebel Gen. Mill, with bis whole command, from tho 
town and surrounding forts. The Ktara and Stripes 
now wave over all. Gen. Hill's army fell back 
towards Middlobnry. Cast night Col. Geary left 
Lovitlsvflle, with his whole command, and marched 
through Wheatland and Waterford, taking prisoners 
at both places, and putting the scattered rebels to 
flight. Shortly after illurise ho took possession of 
Fort Johnson, which was re-christened Fort Geary, 
by tho officers. He then entered tho town with flags 
flying and bayonets fixed. Tho rebels, who had 
thought this one of their greatest strongholds, could 
be discovered through a glass retreating. The 
command took many prisoners and stores, and are 
in possession of a bank, post-office, and several 
stores. Forts Beauregard and Evans are also taken. 
This brilliant achievement, by a well-timed blow 
and skillful maneuver, is of vast importance. The 
command is well, and in good spirits. 
The telegraph from Fortress Monroe on the 8th, 
states that the dullness at that point was lifted 
to-day, by the announcement that a suspicions look¬ 
ing vessel, supposed to be tho Merrimac, looking 
like a submerged houso with only tho roof above 
water, was moving down from Norfolk, in tho center 
of the channel, opposite Hewall’a Point. Signal 
guns were fired by the Cumberland and Congress, 
to notify the Minnesota, St- Lawrence and Roanoke, 
of the approaching danger, and all was excitement 
at Fortress Monroe. 
There was nothing protruding abovo the water 
but a flag-stuff, flying tho rebel flag, and a short 
smoke stack. She moved along slowly, and turned 
into the channel leading to Newport Nows, and 
steamed direct for the frigates Columbus and <ton- 
gress, which were lying at the month of James 
river. As soon as she came in rang© of tho Cum¬ 
berland, the latter opened on her with heavy guns, 
but the balls glanced oil’, having no more effect than 
peas from a pop-gun. Her ports were all closed, 
and she moved on in silence, with a full head of 
steam. 
In the meantime, as the Merrimac was approach¬ 
ing the two frigates on ono side, the relsd iron-clud 
steamers, the ^ orktown ami Jamestown, engaged 
our steamers on tho other Side. The batteries at 
Newport News opened on the rebel steamers, and 
did all in their power to assist tho Cumberland and 
Congress, which, being sailing vessels, were at tho 
mcrey of the approaching steamers. Meanwhile, 
the Merrimac kept steadily on her course, and 
slowly approached tho Cumberland, and when at a 
distance*of ono hundred yards, tho Congress fired a 
whole broadside on tho iron-clad monster, which 
took no effect, glancing upwards and flying off, hav¬ 
ing tlic effect of checking her progress lor a moment. 
After receiving the first tw o broadsides of the frigate, 
she ran on to the Cumberland, literally laying open 
her sides. Slu; then drew off and fired a broadside 
into the disabled ship, and then again dashed into 
her with lior iron-clad bow, leaving her to sink, 
white shn engaged tho Congress, which lay about a 
quarter of a mile distant. Tho Congress bad, in the 
meantime, kept up a sharp engagement with the 
Yorktown and Jamestown, and having no regular 
crew on board of her, and seeing tho uselessness of 
resisting Urn iron-clad vessel, struck her colors. 
commanded tho Monitor, handled her with great Th 
skill, assisted by chief engineer Oilmens. Tho preec 
Minnesota kept up a continuous fire, and is herself ducti 
somewhat injured; she was moved considerably of th 
to-day and will probably be off to-night- The Mon- clare, 
itor was uninjured, and ready at any moment to tho ci 
repol another attack. mica

begin to consider whether to accept or reject, it. 
Tho United States Government would find its highest 
interest in such a measure as ono of the most effi- 
cient measures of self-preservation. 
The leaders of the existing insurrection entertain 
hopes that this Government will ultimately la: 
forced to acknowledge the independence of some 
part of the disaffected region, and that ail States 
north of such parts will theft say:—“The Union for 
which we have struggled being already gone, we 
now chouse to go with tho Southern suction.'’ To 
deprive them of this hope, substantially ends 
rebellion, und nn initiation of emancipation com¬ 
pletely deprives them of it. As to all States 
initiating it, the point is not that all the States toler¬ 
ating slavery would very soon, if at. all, initiate 
emancipation; but that, while the offer is equally 
made to all, the more Northern States shall, by such 
initiation, tnnkn it certain to the more Southern that 
the former will In no event over join the latter in

The Post-Office Department received a letter from 
Nashville to-day, dated the 3d inst., In which it is 
stated that our apodal agent, (Markland,) in taking 
possession ot the post-office in that city, found that 
tho rebel post-master had stripped It of every article 
of property, including blanks, locks, mail bags, 
scales, koyH, Ac. The agent, had managed to got the

It. is proposed as a matter of perfectly tree choice °* property, including blanks, locks, mail bags,

Tho proposition now made is an offer only, and I 
hope it may be esteemed no offense to ask whether

St. Lawrence also poured in shot from all the guns

Newport Nows. In the meantime darkness ap¬ 
proached, though tho moon ahono out brightly, and 
nothing but tha occassional flashes of guns could bo 
seen. The Merrimac was also believed to be 
aground, as slm remained stationary at a distance 
of a mile from the Minnesota, making no attempt to 
attack or molest her. Previous to the departure of 
the steamer tor Baltimore, no gun had been fired for 
half an hour, tho last ono being fired from tbo Min¬ 
nesota. Some persons declared that immediately 
after tho last gun was tired a dense volume of vapor 
was seen to rise from tho Merrimac, indicating the 
duties, and functions pertaining to that office, during 
tho pleasure of tbo President, or until the loyal 
inhabitants of that State shall organize a civil gov¬ 
ernment in accordance with tho Constitution of the 
United States. In order to tho exercise of those 
duties, it was necessary first to give him a military 
position, and hence the President nominated him 
Brigadier-General. This appointment the Senate 
has confirmed. The present Government of Ten¬ 
nessee being a usurpation, every proper encourage¬ 
ment will, through the Military Government,be given 
to the loyal people to assume its control. The dcsig- 
Tdk papers this A. M. (Tuesday) are teeming 
with news that cheers and invigorates. We would 
bo glad to give the same entire to Rural readers,

the Minnesota with her picked and gallant crew to 
run into close quarters with the Merrimac, avoid

declined to give her an opportunity to do. 
Wo get the following additional telegram this 
(Monday) morning: 
Ko It noons Miinrok, March 9. 
The Federal iron-plated battery Monitor arrived 
at 10 o’clock, 1’. M., last night, and went immedi¬ 
ately to the protection of tho Minnesota, lying 
aground below Newport News. At 7 o’clock, A. 
M., to-day, the kferriniac, accompanied by two 
steamers, tbe Yorktown and Jamestown, and seve¬ 
ral tugs, stood out towards the Minnesota, and 
opened fire. The Monitor met them at once, and 
opened fire. The enemy’s vessels all retired except¬ 
ing the Merrimac. The two iron clad vessels fought, 
part of the time touching each other, from 8 A. M. 
till noon. Whether sho l« initlFAll AF tmi ii ?«

Official information has been received that tho 
Portuguese Government is directing its attention to 
the cultivation of cotton in its African possessions. 
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Dale lias returned 
from tho west. While in Kansas and Nebraska the 
Indian chiefs called upon him and tendered the 
services ot their warriors for military purposes, but 
they cannot now bo accepted. Upwards of 6,(MX) 
loyal Indian refugees from tho Cherokoe country 
are in tin: lower part of Kansas. In their retreat 
thither from the superior forces of tho enemy, they 
threw away everything which impeded their stam¬ 
pede. The panic among them at that time is repre¬ 
sented as frightful. These Indians being in a desti¬ 
tute condition, Gen. Hunter supplied their immediate 
necessities. Commissioner Dale telegraphed to the 
government authorities, and through his repreaeuta- 
i!n D ° U n i U, ' eth,)r , h,l ° iH in j«red °r not it is lions Congress promptly passed an act for their 
impossible to say. Lieutenant J. I*. Worden, who relief. 
rebel army. A few refused to go. The whole force 
which has thus retreated, was composed of three 
Texan, one Georgia, and one Mississippi regiment, 
and the Hampton Legion. 
Two companies under Major Hatfield were ordered 
yesterday morning to go to Fairfax Court House, 1,y 
the old Braddock road. When within a rnilo of the 
place, they met tho enemy, who retreated. At eight 
o'clock last evening they entered tho Court House, 
followed by a lull regiment Tho rebels had evac¬ 
uated, leaving tents and other property behind in 
large quantities. 
Manassas has been cvucuated by tho rebels and 
our forces have taken peaceable possession. We 
are not yet able to give reliable details. Tho whole 
fortifications were abandoned and everything possi¬ 
ble burned. Light cavalry have boon sent in pur¬ 
suit to harrass and track the rebel retreat 
It is supposed to bo their design to fall back first 
upon Fredericksburg, and then upon Richmond.
