WASHINGTON, April 23.
The King Phillip has arrived at the Navy Yard this morning, and reports the Vicksburg as having courageously passed the five sunken obstructions below Fredericksburg.
Our flotilla has captured seven rebel schooners, one of them with a valuable cargo of dry goods, medicines and saltpeter, and also two small steamers.
It is further stated that the rebel pickets are occasionally seen on the south side of the river.
Our troops still command the position of Fredericksburg, the residents of which are entirely free in their usual business pursuits.
