WASHINGTON, March 27.
Shipping Point was yesterday occupied by our troops. As the steamer Mt. Vernon passed that place they had raised the flag of the Union, and the band was playing the Star Spangled Banner. All the rebels who have been in that vicinity for some time past, have left, with the exception of two or three companies of cavalry.
