Elizabeth City Occupied, etc.

WASHINGTON, April 22. – The Secretary of the Treasury has directed all sub-Treasurers and depositors to receive no more temporary deposits at rates of interest exceeding five per cent.

Richmond papers of yesterday contain a telegraph report of the landing of our forces near Elizabeth City, N. C., and an engagement at that point. They admit that their forces retired to the Dismal Swamp Canal with the loss of [38] killed and wounded, and say the federal loss was heavy.

They notice the occupation of Fredericksburg and complain of the withdrawal of their troops which were in force there, without contest.
