From the Rappahannock. An officer who came from Gen. Lee's headquarters at Fredericksburg yesterday morning, reports everything quiet. The Yankees gave no visible indication that they intended an advance. On Friday, it is said, one of the Yankee balloons "went up like a rocket and came down like a stick." It collapsed in air, and it is surmised that "Professor Lowe," or some other social navigator, had been used up by contact with the earth.

Brook (Indiana, United States) (search for this): article 1
Highway robbery. --On Saturday last, two men clad as soldiers, and each armed with a musket, arrested a servant belonging to a gentleman residing on the Brook turnpike, about a half mile above the turnpike gate, and, under the pretence that they had been sent out from Castle Thunder to arrest all persons found on that road and take all money from them, they robbed him of thirty dollars and escaped. The negro had his master's pass with him at the time. Robberies of this nature on the Brook road are very seldom perpetrated — It is hardly necessary to say that guards are not sent out from Castle Thunder to arrest persons on country roads. The thieves adopted the expedient of saying so, because it enabled them to accomplish their roguery under color of authority.
--Two prisoners from the boat sunk last night were brought in to-day. They say the transports Henry Clay was sunk and the Ward burned, and the ram Lafayette sunk by our batteries last night. They also say that the remainder of the expedition will come down to-night. The battery on the Peninsula ceased firing late this afternoon. No damage done. [fourth Dispatch.] Jackson, Miss., April 16. --Gen. Stevenson reports that the enemy's batteries opposite Vicksburg opened on the morning of the 17th, two 32 pounder Parrott's firing. Three casemates are visible with the telescope. Latest. Jackson, Miss., April 18. --Col. Cookrill is safe at Grand Gulf. The gunboats are quiet thirty miles above. The river at Grand Gulf yesterday was full of burning cotton and fragments of boats. Scouts at Vicksburg, from the upper river, report troops still coming down. The battery opposite had a good range to-day, but no damage done — The gunboats are at New Carthage.
