On the night of the 26th inst, a band of from five to eight hundred rebels attacked four companies of State militia at Hammonsville, Polk county, Mo. They were completely defeated, with a loss of fifteen killed, and alarge number wounded. Our loss was none killed, but a number wounded.

no idea of evacuating at present, and are daily getting more cannon in position. Word reached the fleet last night that four rebel gunboats, partly clad with railroad iron, had appeared below Point Pleasant, but as General Pope's batteries extend in an almost continuous line for fifteen miles, it is not believed they can force a passage. Rather Discouraging to the Yankees. A correspondent of the Chicago Times, writing from the flag-ship Benton, three miles above Island No.10, March 22d, says: I know the country generally is expecting every day to hear of our success at this point, and is chafing with impatience at the delay. God have mercy on the poor country and give it a large stock of fortitude; for it is feared that not only Island No.10, but many other points on the Mississippi, will be defended and fortified in such a way that our hearts will grow sick from hope deferred before we have safe and open navigation to the Gulf.

ture with them upon foolhardy experiments. His flotilla is now not only the guard of the river proper, but of Missouri, Kentucky, and Catro; for we have above Island to no army now that could withstand a well disciplined and effective force of 25,000 men, and it is precisely at this juncture in the Southern armies that we should look for bold and desperate measures; they are necessary to retrieve a failing cause and cheer disheartened troops. From Fortress Monroe. Fortress Monuron, March 29th. --On Friday evening the rebels throw a ball from one of the rifled guns at Sewell's point, which came within three hundred yards of the shipping in the upper roadstead. During the blow last night the steamer Flushing had a hole knocked in her side, and now lies on the bar careened over, and in a somewhat dangerous position if the storm should continue very much longer. The Lincoln gun has been mounted, and this morning was tried, in order to rest the carriage. Only ten sh

Late Federal Telegrams. Northern papers of the 31st ult have a variety of news and rumors, a portion of which we copy: From Washington — exciting rumors in circulation. Washington, March 30. --The violent thunder storm which visited Washington this evening was accompanied by flying rumors of an exciting character respecting General Banks' column and the Merrimac. I learn from the highest authority that the reports are false and that everything connected with army movements in quiet as far as is known here. The government has learned through parties under arrest for disloyalty that General Beauregard stated seven weeks ago that he should never fight General McClellan at Manassas, but that his plan would be to draw our army as far into the centre of the Southern country as possible, and cut off his retreat. Secretary Seward returned to lay from Winchester, whither he went with two physicians on an errand of mercy. A passenger who arrived here from that town

s evinces their conception of the importance of this point and the determination to make a long and desperate fight. Indeed, that the gunboats above, without the co-operation of land forces, will not be able to drive them from here, is to say the least deportful. so far we have obtained no deceitful success, though shelling them continually for over a week, and in fact we have not succeeded in drawing the fire from a portion of their batteries, though our gunboats, and a portion of Col. Buford's command, have been temptingly exposed. They are very cautions in showing us the exact location of their cannon by firing them and than giving us the range. But Com. Foots thinks too much of his gunboats, and appreciates too well the enormous consequences that would attend their loss, to venture with them upon foolhardy experiments. His flotilla is now not only the guard of the river proper, but of Missouri, Kentucky, and Catro; for we have above Island to no army now that could

All the rebel soldiers in the vicinity shut themselves up in FortMacon. Their numbers were variously represented by citizens of Beaufort at from three to six hundred men. The fort was said to be but slighly provisioned, and it was not believed, it could hold out more than a week. Its ultimate capture is of course a matter of certainty. Gen. Burnside was at Beaufort. Perfect order reigned at Newbern, and a number of citizens had returned. Gen. Fasher was Military Governor of the city. The rebels were believed to be in strong force toward Kinston, thirty-five miles on the road to Goldsboro', and their soon a frequently appeared in the vicinity of Newbern.
