Wasuinxeton, April 22,—Special dispatches to the New York papers state that frequent letters from the West, to Congressmen, demand iovestigation into the battle at Pittsburg Landing. The Savannah News says a skirmish took place at White Marsh Island, between the Georgia 13th and a Michigan regiment, The latter was repulsed with a loss of twenty; Confederate loss, five killed and seven wounded. The rebel Senate have passed a bill raising the postage on single letters to 10 cente, A House bill prohibits the sale of cotton, sugar and tobacco to the enemy. A dispatch from Knoxville to the Richmond papers says that 300 of Ashby’s cavalry fought 750 Federals near Jacksoneborough, for two hours, killing 75 and 'takiog 500 prisoners. The rebel loss was twenty wounded, The dispatch adde, that no lees than 5,500 Federals have left East . Tennessee for Kentucky since the Governor’s proclamation calling out troops, .

The enemy have planted a battery of mortars and siege guns on the beach, two miles from the fort. Large ships are to be seen outside, Richmond papers say McClellan is waiting for iron-clad gunboats to take Richmond, by way of James river. They call . for obstructions to be at once sunken as the . ° ‘ . only means of preventing it, According to . a letter received recently from the rebel . capital, there are only four slight batteries, . which can easily be taken by gunboats on . the river, Baurimore, April 21st.—Sioce Freder‘icksburg was taken by the Federals, Vir'ginia bank notesare selling bere for fifty cents on the dollar, Specie, in Virginia, . is now at 80 per cent. premium. . Sr. Lours, April 21—The riot at Kaet St. Louis on Saturday night was caused by an attempt on the part of the employees on the Obio and Missouri rail road to remove obstructions from the culvert, placed there by the inbabitants to prevent the town from being overflowed. A Provost Mar. khal’s guard sent to quiet the disturbance . was fired on by the inhabitants. No damage was done. The guard then charged bayonets on the crowd wounding three. . Wasuinaton, April 21st.—Specials to N. . Y. papers states that the War Department . has information of the entire evacuation of the valley of Virginia by the rebels. They are retreating on to Charlottsville. Information has been received that Gen. Joe Johnson has about 3,000 troops at Gordonsville ready to fall back on North Anna river preparatory to a general retreat on Richmond, An officer who left Yorktown yesterday reports that the rebels are flooding the . ground io front of their emtrenchments, by throwing a portion of the York river in that direction by means of dame. Wasuineton, April 21et.—The debate io the Senate to-day was on McDoagall’s res‘olution to inquire into Gen, Stone’s case. It was an interesting one. A personal collision was threatened between him and Chandler; a substitute offered by Wilson was finally accepted by McDougall, calling on . the President, if not incompatible with the public interests, for all information relgtive to the arrest and imprisonment of General Stone, Cuicaco, April 224.—Dispatches purporting to have come from Beauregard and io tercepted by Gen. Mitchell were probably . intended for no other purpose than to deceive the Federal generals. Latest advices from the Tenn, river represent our army in excellent fighting coaNUMBER 604, dition. Regiments that were so frightened and dissipated are being re-organized. Our scouts who have penetrated the enemy’s lines say Beauregard is busily engaged in throwing up intrenchments along the whole line, and planting batteries, preparing for a systematical defense, The intelligence is deemed reliable, and is corroborated by deserters, It is thought the rebels will act mainly on the defensive, and the aggressive will be made by Halleck at an early day. It is known that Beauregard has been greatly reinforced, his ranks being contin. ually swelled by forced levies. The roads are in a wretched condition, Caro, April 21,—There’ is nothing im. portant from the fleet. Latest arrivals represents the continuance of the bombardment, The rebels fire with great accuracy, but have done no harm yet.

Elliott of California, as Brigade Surgeon. Caro, April 224.—The news from Fort Wright is unimportant. The bombardment continues, Therebels have cut the levee on the Arkansas shore, opposite the fort and a number of fine farms are now covered with water, for miles around. The reeidents are greatly exasperated at the outrage. Fort Monrog, April 21st.—Nothing new from Yorktown, except matters progressing eatiefactorily, New York, April 224.—Advices received by the Marion etate that a surveying party of 200 from the Michigan 8tb, landed at Wellington Island, before Savanoab, were surprised and fired on by 600 or 800 rebels, killing and wounding several; the fire was returned, and after a short stand the rebels retreated—Federal loss 13 killed and 30 wounded. Fort Pulaskiis so mach injured as fo be uofit as a work of defense. WASHINGTON, April 22d.—Dispatches from Richmond, dated April 14th say ex-Senator Gwin, of California, had arrived there. At 1 o’clock this afternoon all was quict at Fortress Monroe and Yorktown. The Select Committce, to whom was referred the question of the loyalty of Senator Stark, of Oregon, reported to-day that he is disloyal to the Government, having found that for many months prior to November, he was an ardent advocate of the rebel cause; and after the formation of the rebel Constitution, openly declared his admiration for it, and his sympathy with the rebel cause. Sr. Lovis, April 22d,—A correspondent of the Democrat, from Houston, Texas county, Mo., April 19th, says the published reports of the movements of Price and Van Dorn, are utterly false, and adds, that on the 14th their commands were at Des Arc, 90 miles below Jacksonport, on White river, Pocahontas has been evacuated; the merchants having removed to Jacksonport, which is also nearly ceserted.

In accordance with the law of that State he was taken to the State Prison, there to endure solitary confinement for life, and never to behold the face of man again, His meals are conveyed to bim through an opening in bis cell, and when it becomes necessary for human being to approach bim, they are hooded so as to conceal their features, Corron anp Topacco.—The Richmond Whig says: Preparations for the destruction of these two articles cannot be too ongealiy made. If Coness does not act, an order from the War Ofce to the military authorities of the Confederacy should at once be given, requiring them forthwith to take steps for ensuring the destruction of these articles. Ifthe selfish policy of foreign Governments leads them to weak their own interests by virtually aiding in our ruin, let us show them that, if fall we mst, we will not fall unavenged, but can and will spread ruin over the earth,
