The boat then fell back a distance of three miles from Yorktown, when she again opened fire, the shells exploding each time within the enemy's works, but obtaining no response. A few shots were fired during the day along the whole line. to keep the rebels from strengthening their works. No one was injured. The United States Government steamer Eunice was run into last night by the Commodore Perry, off Ashland, Ky., and sunk. No lives were lost.--New York Tribune, April 26. A reconnoitring party, under General A. J. Smith, left Pittsburgh this morning and attacked the rebel pickets, one hundred and fifty strong, who fled in great haste, leaving knapsacks, blankets, and everything else. The party proceeded on foot to Pea Ridge, and there found three or four thousand drawn up in line of battle, who, at the first fire of artillery, also decamped, leaving tents, equipage, private baggage, half-wr

eenth. Members of the Sanitary or Christian Commissions, and registered news correspondents only, were allowed to remain. All property for which there was no transportation, also was ordered to the rear, and the authority of corps commanders to grant furloughs was revoked, and none to be granted save in extreme cases, or in case of reenlisted veterans. A party of guerrillas entered Shelbyville, Ky., at one o'clock A. M., this day, stole seven horses, and broke open the Branch Bank of Ashland; but before they could rifle it of its contents, they became alarmed at the proximity of the Twelfth Ohio cavalry, and decamped. The rest of them were arrested, and confined in Taylorsville jail.--this evening, the National cavalry, under the command of General Grierson, made a descent upon a bridge over Wolf River, Tenn., which had just been completed by the rebel General Forrest, and succeeded in capturing and destroying it, with a loss of eight killed and wounded, and the capture of two

s engaged very arduously, and almost constantly, in contact with Buell's advance regiments until the 17th. At that date Morgan received permission to retrace his march, capture Lexington, which was, of course, in the hands of the enemy, and then move southward, directly across Buell's rear, doing the latter all possible damage. Marching rapidly for twenty-four hours, he reached Lexington at dawn of the following morning, and immediately attacked the 4th Ohio Cavalry, which was encamped at Ashland — once the residence of Henry Clay — about two miles from the city. The enemy was defeated after a short combat, and nearly six hundred were made prisoners. The loss in killed and wounded on either side was slight. Resuming his march at noon that day, Morgan encamped on the following night at Shryock's ferry on the Kentucky River. At midnight he was attacked by Dumont, and fearing that he would be surrounded and entrapped in the rugged hills of that region, he marched with all speed for

McClellan held a conference with several omin at Western army officers, at which he presented the following plan, which was enthusiastically approved of and agreed to by all present, namely: to organize, out of the troops now ready for the field in Ohio, Indiana, and the North western States, two columns of 20,000 each, one to rendezvous at Ashland, Ky., and the other at Gallipolis, Ohio, both on the Ohio river, and both accessible by railroads. To march the first column across the western counties of Virginia to the nearest point on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad; probably at Abingdon, and to march the second column along the valley of the Kanawha river, either to Covington or Newborn. The marching distance for either column would not be over one hundred or one hundred and fifty miles, and could easily be accomplished in a we

Robert Sanders, of Lebanon, Ky., has been imprisoned in Louisville, charged with treason to the Lincoln Government. James Anderson, J. A. Leskey, and J.

Among a lot of old guns brought to Bowling Green, Ky., a few days ago, for repairs, was an old English musket made in the year 1761. The report of a fight between the Flemingsburg Home Guards and a company of Confederates from Nicholas county, is said to be incorrect. The coin in the Bank of Ashland, Ky., has been removed, to prevent its coming into the possession of the Confederates.

t was adopted. Resolutions were introduced and referred, denouncing the Provisional Government movement, declaring it treason, and instructing Gov. Magoffin to issue his proclamation warning the people against assisting it, and requiring those already engaged in carrying it on to disband and desist from their purposes. A bill authorizing a majority of the stockholders of the People's Bank to remove the bank from Bowling Green to Louisville, passed. A bill allowing the Bank of Ashland to issue notes of a less denomination than five dollars, passed. We take the following proceedings of the Kentucky Legislature of the 3d inst., from the Cincinnati Commercial, of the 5th of December. Mr. Allen offered a series of resolutions, from which we extract the following: Resolved, That all the citizens of Kentucky who are in arms against the National Government, are guilty of treason according to the tenets of every political party that ever existed in this nation.
