ROCHESTER, N. Y., MARCH 28,1803. 
The Army in Virginia. 
After the review of the 12th Army Corps 
by Gen. Hooker on the 20tb ho met the officers 
at Gen. Slocum's headquarters. In the course of 
the interview be expressed bis gratification at 
the soldierly appearance of the soldiers under 
their command, and said that he relied upon 
them for their assistance, and hearty co-operation 
in the ensuing campaign. 8o far as he was con¬ 
cerned, he meant that (here should be no more 
mistakes or doubtful results. 
Gen. Hooker and Medical Director Latterman 
pronounce the army of the Potomac to be the 
healthiest army the world has ever known. 
The health of that army is much superior to that 
of the rebel army lying on the opposite bank of 
the Rappahannock. 
It is said that, the difficulties which constrained 
Gen. Sigol to tender his resignation have been 
adjusted, and that he will withdraw his resigna¬ 
tion and return to his command. 
Miss Ford, whose name is connected with Gen. 
Stoughton's capture at Fairfax Court House, has 
been arrested. Upon the prisoner were found 
letters which indicated that she had been corres¬ 
ponding with the rebels in Richmond. Some pa¬ 
pers of an important character were not overlook¬ 
ed, and through them it is learned that another 
raid had been planned for Saturday night. 
Eleven of the so-called guerillas who captured 
the General are under arrest. Only 21 partici¬ 
pated in the raid, and no one of them liv ed over 
eight miles from Fairfax, 
An additional list of officers has been reported 
at the headquarters of the army, mainly for ab¬ 
sence without authority, others for failure to 
report at the convalescent camp as ordered, and 
one for accepting bribes for procuring the 
discharge of soldiers. They will stand discharg¬ 
ed from the service of the United States unless, 
within fifteen days, they appear before the com¬ 
mission in session in Washington, of which Gen. 
Ricketts is President, and make satisfactory de¬ 
fence to the charges against them. There is less 
leniency than heretofore towards such classes of 
offenders. 
A most brilliant cavalry fight occured on the 
Rappahannock on the 19th, at Kelly’s Ford. The 
reconuoisancc, under command of Gen. Averoll 
forced a passage over the river in the face of a 
determined resistance, by a considerable number 
of rebel sharpshooters, who were covered by 
houses, rifle pits, and a dry mill race with an 
abattis in front. The Ford admitted but a single 
horseman at a time, and the stream, which was 
swollen, was very rapid. Arriving at the south 
side of the river our cavalry charged on the ene¬ 
my in their entrenchments, killing and capturing 
their entire force, besides securing a large num¬ 
ber of horses picketed near by. 
A short distance from the shore General Aver- 
ell's command encountered the rebel cavalry 
under Stuart and FRzlmgh Lee, who had hastened 
from Culpepper to prevent our passage. They 
made some flashing charges upon our troops, 
who repulsed and in turn charged them with 
fatal effect, using sabres only in the conflict. 
Wherever the enemy made a stand they imme¬ 
diately charged upon, aud routed them from 
their position. The battle lasted about five hours, 
and was a series of charges and conflicts, result¬ 
ing in the falling back of the enemy. The forces 
were about two hundred on each side. 
i 
The enemy at last took refuge behind an en¬ 
trenched battery, four miles from the ford, flank- > 
ed by rifle forte and abatlis. Gen. Averoll : 
having accomplished his Object and secured his 
prisoners, the wounded on both sides, and a large 
number of horses, recrosseil the river without at- < 
tack by the rebels, who were so badly whipped 
that they could not follow or anoy him. Among 
the prisoners were Major Breckinridge, a cousin t 
to the traitor John C. Breckinridge. 
At 1 o’clock on the morning of tin- 17th two i 
sections of Capt. Davis’ 7th Massachusetts’ t 
battery and the 11th Pennsylvania cavalry 
were dispatched by Major Gen. Peck, under £ 
command of Major Spear, to attack the enetnyin < 
his entrenchments on this side of the Blackwater i 
opposite Franklin. We were to make the attack f 
at daylight, but owing to the bad condidition of i 
of the roads found it impossible to do so until 9 < 
A. M. Small arms, heavy guns and cavalry t 
were used on both sides. The fight lasted for £ 
nearly an hour, aud was highly spirited in its 
character. Two separate cavalry chargee were 1 
made on the fortifications. They were found to i 
be literally lined with infantry who poured a 1 
deadly fire into our ranks, wounding many in the 1 
panics by night, aud captured or dispersed the 
whole command, destroying all their camp 
equipage. 
A special commission of the U. 8. Board of 
ing rapidly sent to the seat of operations, and it 
is expected that our fleet will soon be able to re¬ 
duce all the fortifications on the Yazoo.

The bulk of the Federal forces heretofore 
stationed in Newborn having been withdrawn 
for service at other points, the rebels made an 
attempt to rc-eapture the place. The detail of 
their movements, as forwarded by the corres¬ 
pondent of the N. Y. Tribune , under date March 
16th, is aa follows: 
Deserters told 11 s early last, week that the rebel 
Gen. Longstreet hail just paid a vigil, to Kinston, 
and had said in a speech them that, on the 14th 
of March, last year, Newborn was taken by the 
Yankees. He intended to celebrate the first 
anniversary of that day by driving them out of it. 
His programme was nut kuown, and the above 
declarations was regarded as the merest bravado, 
as the place was generally considered as almost 
impregnable, llis plan, however, was a real 
one, and began to develop itself on Friday even¬ 
ing last, when our pickets were driven in on the 
Trent road, and an immense column of the enemy, 
with 30 pieces of artillery, were reported to be 
moving on Newborn. 
On Saturday morning, also, the pickets of the 
92d New York, which is occupying a small 
unfinished earthwork on the north side of the 
Netise river, and nearly opposite this city, re¬ 
ported the rebels advancing in that quarter. 
There were only 300 men over there, of the above 
regiment, W hieli was commanded by Lieutenant 
Colonel Anderson. They bad no guns mounted, 
.lust before daybreak this little garrison was 
summoned to surrender by Gen. Pettigrew, who 
said he had 4.000 men and 18 pieces of artillery.

The rebel schooners Pembroke and Lightning

The Port Royal Veto South, of the 14th inst., 
says Jacksonville was taken by the colored 
brigade on the 10th. The negroes behaved with 
propriety and no one was harmed. On the J 1th, 
Col. Montgomery, with 200 men, had a sharp 
skirmish three miles from town with 200 rebels. 
Baldwin, the junction of the. Jacksonville and

Kentucky. — The rumors heretofore given 
of the 11 lop os ill rebel invasion of Kentucky, are 
not groundless. Cincinnati journals learn from 
a Southern gentleman, who left Chattanooga on 
Sunday week, that the rebel troops who left Vir¬ 
ginia, did not re-enforco Gen. Bragg, but concen¬ 
trated at Knoxville, Tenn. 
On the 14th a body of 400 rebels crossed the 
Cumberland at Rowena, Ky., and it was report¬

which they kept up for four hours without cessa¬ 
tion, except twice, when there was a lull for a 
few minutes for the purpose of ordering a sur¬ 
render. Col. Anderson’s last reply was, that

surrender!” Gen. Foster sent word to Col. 
Anderson to hold out to the last extremity, while 
Gen. Prince and staff; riding down to the river 
side, placed artillery as fast as it arrived in posi¬ 
tion on the bank. Ransom's battery of 20-pound 
howitzers sent quick and successive discharges 
of grape and canister into the ranks of the rebels 
with telling effect About 9 o'clock the gunboat 
Hunchback came to the assistance of the unpleas¬ 
antly situated garrison. Gen. Pettigrew retreated 
and has not since been heard from. The injuries 
to the men of the 92d amounted to two men being 
wounded. 
The demonstration on the Trent road was just 
about as brilliant as this. The enemy came 
down to a spot called Deep Gully, some ten 
miles out, and after remaining there about thirty- 
six hours retired. The precise number of men, 
or who commanded, is not known. Perhaps 
live causing them to retire from the field leaving 
their dead and wounded. Col. Hall’s victory 
was complete before the re-enforcements arrived. 
Among the rebel killed was one captain and 
three lieutenants. Our loss was 7 killed and 30 
wounded. The battle lasted about four hours.
