Pktbrsburg, March 30 A heavy fight' hag been "progressing all day in -Dinwiddie, near Hatcher's llurf. miles from Peters buig. Nothing official, .but it is reported up to 5 o'clock deemed reliable, that three furious assaults were repulsed. At half-past 2 he enemy then came up in overwhelming numbers and dVove Bushrod Johnson's division back a mile and a half. The Confederates were reiuforeed acd turned back the tide of battle, and wc drove the enemy with great slaughter to, and toe yon, d their original position. The g ound was strewed with the dead and dying, and 700 prisoners ave reported sent to the rear. Tle affair of last night, for th'c .roar of cannon and musketry' whicli lasted two hours, exceeded anything ever heard in this vioinity. It turned out to-day tbut both belligerents eojiecivjed the idea that they were lieing charged behind their breast works, when in fact, neither I tad left their entrenchments.'

All quiet ou that front to-day. Sexretary Trenholm's Circular. ilicHMOKi), March 31. A circular from Secretary Trenholm relative to donations to the Treasury is published. He .says the enemy is gathering strength for his supreme effort for our subjugation, and we aTe called upon .by every consideration of wisdom and patriotism to bring forth our entire resour ces to meet the approaching struggle. Among the deficiences felt is inadequate public revenue. There is neither dishonor or damage in making this frauk avowal to an intelligent and patriotic people. The will understand the difficulty, if not the impossibility of executing financial schemes in our present circumstances, and be willing to bear the trials thai result .as the cost of that liberty for which they have so freely shed their blood. The revenue from' taxation is unequal, to v the whole demand of the year, nor can the collection of this be effected in time for im mediate wants. The Treasury must conse quently, continue for some time to be strait ened, and the public creditor be inco.nven' ienced. Under these circumstances it is not deemed incompatible with public digni ty to accept the free-will offerings of a generous and patriotic people. STALLION FOR SALE.

One Monitor was sunk this morn ing by a shot from the Spanish Fort. The Yankee fleet took no part in the fight to-day on the East Shore. The enemy's gunboats oommenced shelling the Western shoret two o'clock, but were driven off by Jo bines battery, of Missouri. Two 'men of the Missouri battery. killed. F.

' Mqbh.k, March 31, There has been heavy skirmishing at Spanish Fort to-day witheut advantage to the enemy. At 4 o'clock the fleet took part. Our troops are in the best of spirits, and every thing looks encourasing. Our casualties have been slight. The enemyseem inclined to make a regutar seige, as there has been no gener al assault. . All quiet on this side. Northern News. Richmond, March 31. Northern papers of he 29th received. The war news con sists chiefly of details of the rejnt opera tions in North Carolina and Virginia. Jacob Little, a prominent banker, died in Now York on the 28th. Lincoln' had not returned from 'Graft's headquarters. A Washington telegram to the Herald, says it is reported that he was detained by offers for the renewal of peace negotiations. While there is nothing to confirm tUe report, it is not impossible that he may, before he returns, arrange with Gen. Grant for the reception and consider tion of any proposition Gen. Lee may have to make looking to a cessation ot armed oppo tition to the constitution and laws. Gold 152- ' . of the market which was greatly depressed. Our last telegram,' however, shows the re port of Sherman's successes to be prema ture. John Stockton, democrat, has been elect ed U. S. Senator from New Jersy, in place of Funck, republican. Orders have been received at Paducah for transportation f 10,000 prisoners, who are being exchanged at Eastport, according to an arrangement made by Gen. Thoraaswith theConfederatauthorities'. Capt. Beauregard, brother of Gen. Bean regard, passed through the city of Mexico en route to' Sonora. J ere Clemens, who has resided in Phila delphia for a year past, is about to' return to his home at Huntsville, Ala. The St. Louis Republican'' denounces the State Convention, which has been in session for several months, and expresses a fear that the republicans will be re-elected, A Fortress Monroe telegram of the 22d, says Grant has contracted his lines, as. if preparing for a rush, and waiting for Thomas' infantry from the West. Secretary Wells, A'ss't. Secretary Fox, and Maj. Gen Anderson, are to visit Char leston and raise the old flag on Fort Sum ter. " It is believed in Washington that Rich mond, has-been evacuated and that there is only a strong picket lirfe left along Grant's front. It is also rumored that General Lee, at the head of his army is marching in haste to unite with Johnston and fall upon Sherman. The New York Journal of Commerce t special of the 24th, says the Washington Chronicle has another peace article to-day which is regarded as significant in view of Forney's intimate relations with the Presi dent, and the lalters departure for Grant's headquarters. It advocates a liberal policy, to the rebel leaders to prevent further blood shed. There is a" growing conviction that the leaders on both sides have now under consideration some project which points to a suspension of hostilities. The St. Louis Republican of the 25th says the President has directed that the order of banishment in the case of Mrs. Maj. Gon. Ewell, who reached St. LVjuis lately, be re voked upon her taken the amnesty oath. Nothing is said in the President's dispatch about Mrs. Ewell's money or property seifcedp by the Provost Marshal, bnt the presumption is that it will be restored to her. ' The negroes of Nashville and the sur rounding country had. a celebration on the 20th, in consequence of the amendment to the Constitution abolishing slavery in Tennessee- They- had two brass bands and earried a considerable number of banners withnottoes. Northern Mews via West. Sbnatobia, March 28- Northern papers of the 24th received are barren of news. ' The St. Louis Republican of the 24th, say 8 the reports from New York show the metropolis to have been excited yesterday by rumors that Sherman had arrived before Raleigh and in a battle had defeated Joe it&aita. Tki eentribuiod to the decline From Trans-Mississippi. Louis iana now presents, the appearance of the .Carnatic as described by Edmund Buike, after the terrible raid of Hyder Aji upon its plains. You can travel -for miles in many portions of the State, through a once" thickly settled country, and not see a man nor a woman, nor a child, nor a four footed beast. The farm houses have been burned the plantations deserted the once smiling fields are now grown up in briars and. brakes, parasites and poisonous vines painful melancholy broods aver the land, and desolation reigns supreme. Gov. Allen, of Louisiana, in his recent message to the .Legislature, says there are now in that State,-two turpentine distil leries, one castor oil factory, one estab lishment for. making carbonate of soda, two distilleries for pure medical alcohol, one rope walk for cotton cordage, . one foundry for cooking utensils, machinery and agricultural implements, two cotton cloth manufactories and laboratories for indigenous medicines. And he says he has imported and distributed fifteen thousand pairs of cotton cards selling them to the soldiers' families at ten dol lars per pair. At the factory in Minden there are three machines which will soon be in successful operation, with , the, ca pacity of making one thousand pairs of cards per month, .As these machines cannot supply the demand he will con tinue to import cotton and woo cards. Gov. Allen, of Louisiana, expresses great confidence in an early termination ' of the war. Nevertheless, lj!e urges the employment of able-bodied slaves to "make assurance doubly sure.'' They should do the labor (says the.GovernorV now imposed upon soldiers, and be mobil ized, and used to military discipline, to be employed as an armed force, whenever necessary. .
