Jackson ever since. OBN. LONG STREET. It remains for me to say a few words respecting one other of the most valuable officers of the Confederacy, ah eminent combative man—Gen. Long- street. Hia frame is stout and heavy, his countenance floi I and cheery, and emin mtly English ce. Io every pos' .ion irst iir*; com mi', no in, a bri „<ade ; second- aaodiag a divisio i; th idly a corps o haa grown in the affect 0118 f his men onfidenoe of his o mma dint. officers. d iimierturbable in der ti e as n bis tent orks aud th. aditioo he drt edt esta the change which out.1 ugeuuous ! corporeal particles preparatory eyed away out of the system, : neighbor i it is tbe nt English Portrait ol Rebel Generals. The epecial correspondence ofthe Loudon Times writing from Richmond gives the following pictures of Confederate Generals : OESKIUL LEE. Genera! Lee is, I believe, between 50 and CO years of age, but wears his years well, and strikes you aa the incarnation of health aud endurance, as he rears his erect, soldierlike form from his seat by the fireside to greet courteously the stranger. Jlis manner is calm and stately, his presence impressive aod imposing, bis dark brown eyes re- rinarkably direct and honest as they meet you fully ■and firmly^ and inspire plenary confidence. The •shape aud type of the head a little resemble Gari- 'baldi'e, but tne features are tbose of a handsomer r*mau. On the rare occasions wheu he smile3, aud ■ron the still rarer occasions wheu be laughs heartily, disclosing a fiue unbroken row ol wbite, firm* met teeth, the confidence aud sympathy which be inspires areilrresistible. A childgthrown among a Ikuot of -strangers would be iuevitably drawn to ■Geu. .Lee.fire*; in tbe compauy, and would run to claim his protection. The voice is fine and deep, hat slightly monotonous iu tone. Altogether, the most -winning attribute of the Geneal is his un- iXffeci-ed childlike guilelessuess. It1 is very rnry that a man-ofihis age, conversant with important events, aud thrown to the surface of mighty convulsions retains the impress of a simple, nature to so eminent a degree. Ii is impossible to converse with bim ten minutes without perceiving how deeply he boa meditated upou all the possible eventualities of t.he camj::aigu in Virginia, and how sound and well-considered are tbe positions which he adv&joqee. It is obvious tbat the most entire aud ronstir.'j-; ooofidencs is placed in General j Lee by his subordinate officers, whose respect and j aflectiou he seems thoroughly to have won. Tbe I General is still Gaoled in hia hands from the effects of a fall which be sustaiued so long ago as j thc 30th of August. At dawn of that day he rode -■across tbe historical stream of Bull Run, aud observing a pach of herb age. he dismounted and allow-1 ed hie horse to graze, recollecting lhat the animal j had carried ht&tthe whole preceding day almost without food. Tbe General himself sat on a stump. There were only a few cavalry pickets of Confederates between Gen. Lee and. the enemy. Suddenly a charge of a large body cf Yankee cavalry drove iu tbe confederate pickets., aud came close up to where Geo. Lee .pas. The General ran forward to catch his horse, aud grasping at tbe rein as his ^orse sidled ofi, he tell heavily forward, entangled in bis cloak, upon both bauds, and jarred the nerves ot tbe right arm right up to the shoulder* Hia horse was got by one of his staff, aud thc Yankee cavalry, not knowing what a valuable prize \.j'*l was close at.hand, fell back without approaching; highroad i morejnearl'y., The^General rode throughout the] \vbole-of -that eventful day, the 30lh of August, j Sucked ' ibat for many days and nights he suffered agonlx- nosed to le ing-pain:; aad even now, ou the 21st of November -and send x ihe ifi far from having wholly recovered the full use i. and Greatsi -of his hands,- though uot for oue day or hour has; oeaefal in ] ihe permitted himself to be absent Irom duty. J On Mon "STON'S-WALT/' JACKSON, the I;r''-t:.i There e.T'? such endless stories about Gen. Jack- | Secretary ■aon tbat to repeat tbem would fill a volume.

A most undemonstrative, retieeut man, doubtless, iu all that regards his vocation as a soldier. There is every reason to think that when the war is over, Geu Jacksou will be the very first man to bury him-e If in the deepest obscurity of private Hie. Throughout this war it has been the practice of Gen, Jack- eon to throw himself, disregarding his owu inferiority of numbers, upon large bodies of the enemy aud the day is ordinarily half won by the sudden, ■ness and desperation of the attack. His usual poi icy is then to retire, upon which the eon ents of the Northern Journals, who upon of General Jackson's onslaught have b frightened out of their live«, announce w usual fanfarades a great Federal victory and exultation are universal. In a lew di ever, wheu the Federals bave reached so where it suits General Jackson to attack pounces upon theui again, and frequently fame of his second apr-ron-oh drivers hi:- <■,;>-- a precipitate retreat without fighting, it th admits of such possibility, Thc upshot i a year and a balf of Gen. Jackson's condu war, frequently at the head of do mon handful of men been gained by and in As bra- remarkable for his promptitude io thinking correctly when in tbe greatest danger, his value to the Coiih-;deraey can hardly be over estimated. A review of some 10,000 of his men took place when we were at Winchester. Among this body there were no shoeless or barefooted sufferers. A finer cr more spirited body has never buen assi'tobled on the North American continent. In conclusion I can safely say that, although I saw much suffering great waut of shoes, frequently very inadequate clothing among the men ot Gen. Le-^'a army, I wa8 astonisbfed to observe how confident was the spirit prevailing among the entire body. No such army- has ever yet been assembled to fight for the confederacy. Auy battle into which these men enter* is balf won when tbe first shot IB fired. Again and again they bave joined issue under most unfavorable circumstances with tbeir opponents, and have gained victories. It is not likely that the tide wil| be turned now that the Fe feral i are every day fighting with less and less sppetite, aud now that the experience of 19 months of wail has giveu such confidence to tlie Oo;.f-.b-rates iu themselves and in their co!n:r.ai:dh:g oili iers. that the d*iy of bat. tie is surely and triumphantly looked on as necessarily the day of victory.

WisiirxoTox, April 12.—The steamer Flambeau arrived witb dispatches from Admiral Dnpont- to the Government. From other than official sources it is aseertained that the vessels comprising the fleet advanced upon Charleston in tho folii orcer: Weehawken, Passaic, Montauk, Patapsco ]ronsides~lUe flag ship—with Admiral Dupent, tiGtUtaff on board. Next followed the Catski/l. A'augatuck, Menantauk.Valiant and the Keokuk- In thiB order they proceded up the main channel until when arriving within about 1,700 yards of the main forts, the Ironsides became unmanageable owing to the tide and the narrowness of the channel. She was therefore obliged to drop anchor to prevent drifting ashore. Owing to these circumstances, it was signalled tbat the Ironsides could not regulate her motions, and the remainder of ihe squadron continued their course, and soon came within easy range oftbe rebel forts. From all poimaobHt-ructiouain tbe channel, from Fort Sumter to Foct MouISrle, interfered with the progress of our ships. In consequence of thisand the position ofthe Ironsides (the space for maece uvriug being only from 500 to 3,000 yards) the ves" sela were obliged lo prepare at ouce to engage the forts and arljaceut batteries. A signal bad Iikkh made tor aetion at balf-past three o*clock in tbe afternoon by the honsides, hat the rebels previous-' ly opened fire on the leading vessels. Thecombat is represented lo have been in the highest degree exciting, presenting, a 'earful scene—fire bellowing from all points of knd and water, Ihere being a continuous roar of cannon. In the course of thirty or forty minutes, the Keokuk being ina sinking condition, was obliged to withdraw from the lire and seek anchorage below the range of the enemy's guns. A few minutes afterwards all tbe vessels withdrew at a signal from the flag ship, it. being deemed impracticable to continue further hostilities. The Keokuk waa withiu 500 or GOO yards of Fort Sumter, aud was completely riddled. Sho was struck from all the batteries withiu range at least 90 times in 30 minutes. The shot was from rifled cannot of the heaviest cnlibre. Capt. Rhind, her commander, received a contusion on the leg and was slightly lamed. Twelve meu were -wounded together witb Acting Ensign Mcintosh, who had charge of one gun. His injuries are supposed to he fatal. Next morning, finding it impossible to save the vessel, Capt. lihind calh-d a tug, which took all hia men on board, and iu a few minutes thereafter the Keolnik. sunk. The persons belonging to the ship lost all their private oifects. On Wednesday the squadron remained at anchor in the main ship channel. It is said that the num. ber of men in our fleet is only about 1,100, with 30 gunp; while the enemy, it is reported, have at least 300 guns, the best in the world. The injuries to our vessels excluding the Keokuk are represented to be of such a character as will require but a short time loivrepairs. The casualties among our men are remarkbly few, including 1 killed and 3 wound" edon the JVahant. None ofthe batteries fired upon but vessels uutil they reached the viciuity of the main forts. Fortress Mowmh, April 12.—The steamer Spaulding, from Morehead City, N. C. yesterday, has arrived. No communication had been received at Newbern from Gen, Foster since Wednesday nighf. The women and children were leaving Newbern. Seven thousand troops attempted to reach Washington, (N. C.,) from Newb-rn. Tlmy were driveu back on Wednesday, eight miles, with the loss of fifty meu. Last accounts from Gen- Foster stats that the rebels had sent L'in three (lags of'truoe for bim to surrender Washington. Foster's reply to the last was: '-Send no mare flags. If Washington is wanted, come and take it." IIkauquakters off Tut-; Army or the Potomac, April 12.—A refugee who left Richmond on Tuesday, says that the bread riot in that city was witnessed by him. It caused tbe greatest consternation among the authorities. The women, heads of families, and working classes were actually star- j vin;'-, many having been compelled to submit by threats. A repetition of the demonstration feared, but every precaution was being taken to avert its effect upon the troops, who were ver clamorous in demanding that tbeir families ahould be fed. Reinforcements were being pushed to Fredericksburg, most of whom were conscripts and convalescents. Several divisions were encamped ahout Richmond, one of which started off in great baste at the time that Averill visited Culpepper but returned again in a few days. Work was suspended on the forttficatioti-s of Richmond. Tiieir impregnability w*is considered certain. Earthworks were being thrown up along the Rapidan. The forces iu the Vicinity were ebb-fly cavalry. Two iron-clad gunboats were nfioat on thc Jnmes River on the 3d, approaching completion. Fjunkmn. Term., April 12—All is. quite in this vicinity. Van Dora has fallen back two miles South of Spring Hill. He manifests nodiapoiition to make another atteet, HCBrazBgBOBO, Ten::., April 12.—Passengers hence to Nashville were captured atSotith Antioch on Friday afternoon, by 500 rebels. Nine cars were burned. The mails and nearly 150 passengers, including a dozen or twenty officers, thirty or forty sutlers, and some soldiers of the tenth Michigan were captured. The guard with 43 belfl in charge, made a stout 8ght, lost 6 killed and a dozen wounded. The rebels lost a like number. w York, April 13th.—Tbe steamer Pea body arrived. Cipt.

The Ironsides received one hundred and fifty 8l.ois, Snatajaed no damage farther fhan the starting ofa few bolts. Tba rest ofthe floet are note jtired and hauled o^ the object of the reconnoisance being accomplished, whieh was to ascertain the locality of obstructions. Our entire loss was 2 killed and 13 wimnded, MewTokk, April 13.—The Trtbans's account ofthe Charleston fight says: The squadron arrived off Charleston on the morniug of the 5th, and spent a day examining the bars in the channels, the wind being too high to erose that W&tfBg. The Admiral's plan was to sail directly up and attack the northwest face of Fort Sumter at irom* COO to 800 yards. At 8 o'clock on Monday morning the signal was givsu to advance bnt in consequence ofa fog, they were obliged to postpone tho intended attack until the uext dey. Daring tbe afternoon, one of Gen. Fnrres' brigades worked ils way to Folly Island and established communication with the fleet' but no portion of the land forces got into the attack. On the 7th, at 4:15 P. M., fleet ff&t under way, passed Morris' Island batteries, without being filed upon, pushing right toward Foit Sumter. The Ironsides worked badly, aod in consequence of the current was obliged to anchor two or three times. Fort Moultrie opened first outhe Wehauk- e-.n, whieh was ihen witiiinSOO yards ol OateauHgB-' Point. The battery of Sumter, ami battery after battery, immediately followed, and the action became general and terrific. The Monitors still I pushed on, replying vigorously. They passed tlie j northeast face of Fott Snrater, wheu they discovered tbat there were three lines of obstruction: holding torpedoes, one of which exploded, hut did no great damage. Finding it impossible to pass the obstructions, they turned the steamers down the harbor. Tbe Patapsco's 200-paunder became disabled. The Passaic's turret was so bent that the vessel was practically out of use. The other boats continued their course to tho northeast face of Fort Sumter, put were also stopped by obstructions, and turned back, after being uuder fire for three-quarters of au hour, All the Monitors were ordered back, and at 5 o'clock, the entire fleet was out of range, and the action ceased. Admiral Dupont intended to renew tho attack . Ih: s par- ally ( olu he was sustained by ail the commanders. There were 11 large holes inside Fort Sumter, apparently running through the walls. Our entire firing only amounted to 150 ruuoda. When the correspondent left, two .Monitors had sailed tor Port Royal, and others were to tollow. The Time's account says that our ships were exposed toa concentric fire trom four differept points, unparalled in tbe history of warfare, par ing the ftgbt aot less than 3.5U0 shots were thed by the enemy, 1(30 bei gle ute. Thc Herald's correspondent says a rumor was iu circulation at Port Royal, ou lho O'ih, that our troops were rapidly gaining lhe rear of the city of Charleitou. Tlie Tunes says that the result of lhe recon- uoissance of Charleston, Bhoyra thus utter inefficiency of lhe iron-chul fleet to take Charleston alone. LouisvnxK, April 13.—The rebels captured with the train at Antioch, ou Friday, a large amount of money bwlougiug to the Government. Thev robbed passengers ofall they had. The same party- went to the Cumberland river, and fired into a freight train for this city, destroying the engine, a cannon ball having gone through the boiler. Nkw York, April 13.—It appears that in the reconnoisance of Charleston harbor by lhe ironclads, lhe Nahaut received thirty wounds, several being bad fractures. The Paeaaifl was also wound. ed in her turret and pilot house. The Nantucket's turret ia eo jarred that it could not be used, rendering her lo-inch gnu useless. N;piio of the otber Monitors were disabled. The Keokak reeeived seventy shots, nineteen of them penetrat- iur;-ber n! water mark. Sho was kept ailoat til! :■'-', momiu colors living. The steamer Roanoke, from New Orleans the.*5th, and Havana the 8ih, bringing Vera Cruz dates to tbe 1st, bas arrived. A dispatch from Pueblo, the 23d ult., aays: Nothing had been done there except skirmishing, resulting rather iu the discomfiture of the French. Tho guerillas bad attacked a body of 1,500 laborers on the railroad and carried off ail tbe Mexicans among them ae priseners. New Orleans advices state our troops bad destroyed all'the railroad bridges at Pontachoula and fallen back to Pass Manchias. A scouting party to the Amity country bad a skirmish with a rebel cavalry company. Ten of the latter were killed, seventeen wounded aod five captured. Our loss was four wounded. Generals Grover and Weitzei's forces were within supporting distance of euch other, and Ewiog'a division had been sent to join theta. An officer wbo arrived by the steamer Dudley says that Gen. Foster had provisions to last only until the nth. The rebel force between Washington and Newburn is reported to be 20,000 under Gen. Hill, and 7.000 under Pettigrew. The gunboat Valley City, wbich passed tbe rebel batteries below Washington, N. C, to Gen. Foster's assistance, was struck by sixty-three Bhots. Her fate subsequently is not known. The steamer Marion, wrecked on Double-Headed Shot Keys, 2d. will prove a total loss. She waa hound for New Orleans, and had a valuable cargo and forty passengers, all of whom were Saved. The Paymaster's safe at the Brooklyn Navy Yard was robbed last night of about $140,000 in legal lenders. CiN-crxx.m. April 13—Gen. Burnside haa isaned an order pronouncing the death penalty on all persons found guilty of aiding the rebels, and all rebel sympathizers are to be arrested and tried, or sent beyond the !ine3. The order eays "ireasoa expressed or implied will net be tolerated in thia department. " WAsnrxoToy, April 13. — Ex-Representative Low, of California, will receive bis commission aa Collector of Customs for the Port of San Francisco. Nashville, April 13.—A flag of truca sent from Franklin yesterday, learned that the rebel Gen. Ciasby was wounded, and also two of Van Doru'a i.ids. Tbe rebels lost heavily in wounded, and we :aplured many horses. Van Dorn expected to capture the town, and had received information tbat the Federal force was only 2,500 strong. Thirty-five citizens, active and violent rebels— some of1 whom were on the vigilance committee last year—were arrested to-day by order of Gen. Mitchell, and lodged in the penitentiary. Washi.vi-jto.v, April 15.—Private advices from Newburn, the 12th, state tbat a communication bad been received from Gen. Foster, to the effeot that be had plenty of aupplies, and believed hy could withstand all the forces the rebels could bring against him for three weeks, if necessary. Richmond papers have the following dispatch from Charleston the 12th : LaBt night the steamer Stonewall Jackson, while attempting to run Into tliis harbor, was hotly chased by the blockaders, and received several shota through her hull. The captain rau the steamer ashore and burned her. Her passengers escaped in small boats. Tho steamer WaB consumed to tho water's edge. Her cargo consisted mainly of salt, ghot aud merchandise. A dispatch from Goldshoro, N. C, ofthe 13tb, paya : The news of a partial victory over the Abo litionipts at Washington reached hereto-day. It appears that tbe Yaukees marching to the relief of Washington were met en route on Thursday, near Bland's creek, by Pettigrew'd force, with no losa on onr side. The Richmond Whig of the 13th says, in the fight on tbe 4th at Williamsburg, between Wise'a forces and the Yankees, our troops drove in the Yankee pickets aud occupied Iheir position; the enemy-retreating to Fort Magruder, from which point they commenced shelling tbe place. Wise took a position near the college and replied to tho Bre. Our casualties up to the 8th were slight. It is rumored that we captured forty prisoners and burned largo quantities of commissary stores. The Kiugston correspondent of tbe Raleigh Journal of tlta 10th reports tha Yankees failing back from Swift creek to Newburn. A report from Petersburg says the Yankees in large force entered fsie of Wight Court House on Wednesday and captured our pickets aud then retired. The following have been received from rebel sources: Jobn Minor Botts, from personal interposition has had permission to reside on his estate. No election for Governor (rebel) of Tennessee will be held tbis Fall ; Harris ia to hold uutil a successor is elected. Erricsson publishes a letter saying the imperfections of the Monitors are not of a aerioue character, and will be readily obviated. Everything worked precisely as expected and ns change iu tho plans of the vessels will be necessary. There is no class of vessels in the navy that obey the helm more readily than the Monitors. In strong cur- reets and shallow w.iter. like Charleston harbor, no vssel can he so readily inam-euvred. Tbe steamer from Havaua tbe 9th, reports that Admiral Wilkes was a paroled prisoner, and would continues© until tho affair ol the Vanderbilt firing iuto a Spanish coasting vessel was explained. Gobi today closed at 53.
