(Times Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April 28. – The President has received a special dispatch to-night from a source altogether different from that through which the information came yesterday of the fall of New Orleans, confirming the same.
The news from the Department of the Rappahannock is important. Our forces have not yet occupied Fredericksburgh but stay at Falmouth, on the opposite side of the river.
Information recently received renders it pretty certain that there is a large rebel force in the neighborhood ready to dispute Gen. McDowell’s progress toward Richmond. Report places this force under the command of Gen. G. A. Smith.
(World’s Special.)
The confirmatory news of the occupation of New Orleans by the Union forces, has just been received. It removes very materially, the doubts which have existed in the minds of some as to the entire reliability of the rebel telegrams.
There is reason to believe there has been a discussion at the Treasury Department, respecting the policy of raising the blockade of Southern ports, as they come into possession of the Union forces. We are assured by a gentleman who is in constant communication with the Government, that there is little doubt that the blockade of New Orleans will be raised immediately on the Union authority being reinstated there.
(Herald’s Special.)
Rumors are in circulation that the rebels are preparing to evacuate Yorktown.
WASHINGTON, April 29 – Specials state the there is a rumor that the Government is in possession of information which may possibly lead to a cessation of hostilities. A mediation on compromise is said to form the basis of the rumor. Doubtful.
It rumored that Gen’l Cadwallader is to take the place of Gen’l Smith at the west.
Mr. Sedgwick, of New York is appointed on the Special Committee of Confiscation. It is stated that a majority of the committee favor a strong bill for the confiscation of rebel property.
