TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. [ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.] FROM NORTH CAROLINA. General Footer'* Position.Another Ar¬ rival from New Orlennv New York, April !3.. An officer whoarrived here on the ptff.miT Dudley Buck, «ays that General Foster had provisions sufficient only for the use cij his troops to the llth instant. Well informed people deny the statement that the large reinforcements gent overland from Newbern had returned, anft thai some of their ba^pnge nnd artilletv is stuck in the mud. The rebel force between Washington ami Newbern is reported to Dumkr 20,000 men under Gen. Hill, »nd 7,M*i under Gen. I'ettigrew. The gunboat Valley Ci y is said to h^ve reached Washington, riddled with caunon bgils. The Dudley Iluck touched at Fortress Monroe, where it was rumored that Gen. Foster had surrendered. A letter from Col. Sissell, an officer under Gen. Foster, under date of says that the latter cannot hold ont more than a day longer, being: short of provisions and completely sur¬ rounded. One report states that the gunboat Valley City, which passed the rebel batteries below "Washington to go to Gen. Foster's assistance, wae struck by 03 shot. Her subsequent fate is not known. A reconnoitering cavalry force sent out over¬ land on Tuesday, encountered a strong fore* of reb> 1 pickets ten miles from here aiul drove them in live miles. Yesterday a large force went over the Neuse river on an overland ex¬ pedition to the relief of Gen. Foster. The transportation train was to cross the river last nipht, where the expedition is encamped. Precautions are being t ken against a sur¬ prise here, and it isi xpected there will be some hard fighting tip the road. The rebels are re¬ ported to be in immense numbers, and a rumor tays they are under cnmm ind of Gen. L'?e. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. The Rebel* Threatening Suffolk. Fortress Monroe, April 12..Gen. Keyes has issued the lullowiug order: .. Headquarters Department of Virginia, Suffolk, April i'J..The proximity of the rebel force* to this city renders it necessary for the command ing general to notify all foreign consuls, wo- men and children, and all persons not in the employ of the 1 nited States who prefe^ safety to the conflict of war, to leave any town or vil¬ lage in this Department which may be tired upon by the enemy, lorthwith. "Ma.i. Gkn. Kkvks." Some light skirmishing has taken place to¬ day at Suffolk. Absurd rumors were quite prevalent yester¬ day in the vicinity of the fortress that the iron¬ clad Merrimac, attended by several rebel gun¬ boats, was about io come down the James river, but they were not credited by intelligent persons. Lieutenant Colonel Kimball, of the 0th New York Zouaves, was suddenly killed by a pistol slict iu the hands of a superior officer. The re- pert Fays that lie had applied to the officer for a pa*s, but was relused, and upon using in¬ sulting language was sho' on the spot. (fen. Corceran is the superior officer named in con¬ nection with the affair. It is well know n that the rebels, as well as the Federals, have very considerably increased their forces within the last few days on the Roanoke and Seaboard railroad, and it seems quite evident that ere long a general engage¬ ment will take place. The forces are well posted on the Biackwater river, and should the rebels attempt to advance they will assur¬ edly meet with a most determine'd resistance. On Saturday some skirmishing took place oa the part of the advanced outposts, but the c is- ualties w ere of a trifling character. FROM >»:\V ORLEANS. Reports Relative to Admiral Far rag ut. Ni:w York. April 13..The steamer Roanoke, irom New Orleans on the 5th inst., via Havana on the cth, has at rived. The advices from New Qrleans sta'etliat our troops had destroyed all the railroad buildings at Ponchatoula and fallen back to Pass Manachac. "A scouting party sent ont in the Amite country met a small force of rebel cav¬ alry, with whom they hadasharp skirmish. Ten rebels where kilh-d, -seventeen wounded and live captured. Our loss was only four wounded. Gtns. Grover and Weitzeli's forces ar>? in supporting distance of each other. Gen. Emory's division has l;een sent to join them. It is believed that Gen. Emory will cominaud a strong movement up the Atchafalaya. Business at New Orleans is rather on the in¬ crease, and it is said by people from Dixie that then is a large quantity of cotton hidden away by (lie country people, and as soon as the government get possession, much of this cotton will find its way to market It has been repor'fd as bnrned to the rebel government. The rebels at New Orleans say that Admiral Farragut is in Red Riverbetweentwo batteries, out ot range of either, but unable to pass them; and that a messenger seat by him to in¬ form Gen. lianks had been captured and h-.-Id prisoner. FROM MEXICO. The dates from Mexico via Havana are to the .Jd inst., Irom Pnebla to the 03d ult., and from Vera Cruz to April 1st. Nothing has been done in the vicinity of I'uebla except skirmishes, re¬ sulting rather in the discomfiture of the French. No news was permitted to be made public in Vera Cruz, and a general order was issued at Orizaba imposing a heavy penalty on all who even talked of affairs at Puebla. The guerillas had attacked a body of 1V5M» laborers ou the railroad and carried off all the Mexicans among them as prisoners. FROM THE ARM\" OF THE POTOMAC. The Recent Bread Riot in Richmond.De¬ fences of Richmond, Stc. ]lKAT>QUAETERB ARMY O^ THE POTOMAC, April 11..A refugee who left Richmond last Tuesday has arrived within our lines. The bread riot iu that city was witnessed by him, and caused the greatest consternation among the authorities. The women were the heads of the families ol the working classes, and were actually starving, many having been com¬ pelled to beg on the street. A repetition of the demonstration is feared.' Reinlorcements are hnrrying up to Fredericks¬ burg as rapidly as possible. Most of them are conscripts and convalescents. Several divi¬ sions are enc amped about Richmond. Work lias been suspended upon the fortifica¬ tions around Richmond, their impregnability being considered certain. Earthwork} are be¬ ing throw*n up along the Rapidan river: but the force in that vicinity is composed chiefly of cavalry. The gunboats, iron-clads, are afloat in the James river. The Virginia lies down near Drury's Bluff', and has made several attempts to pass Jhe obstructions, but failed. The third is uniinished, but rapidly approaching comple¬ tion. Riot Between Irish and Negro Laborer*. New York, April 13..A riot occurred to¬ day between some negro and Irish laborers, which was quite serious for a time. The Irish are said to have commenced the difficulty and hurled missiles at the negroes, driving them off the pier into a boat. At this moment one of the negroes, named Oney, fired a pistol, wounding James Agars in the head, but not seriouslv. Another account says that Agars was wound¬ ed by a brick thrown by one of the njob stand¬ ing beside him. The riot was soon after stop¬ ped by the police. The negro Oney had his nose broken. lleayy Robbery. New York, April 13..The paymaster's safe at Brooklyn navy-yard was robbed last night of between $121,000 and #140,000 in legal-tender notes.

Mr. Brown presented the petition of Win. N. H. Maatk and George Jneneman, a coinmit'ee of 'lie Brewf rs1 Association of tbis city, s-tting forth that outtide parties tomn here and sen later, ale and other malt liquors, and they .the brewers (desire to know under whatlicens* liw these loreign parties sell. The committee say they have called upor. the Chiefof Police and '.he Corporation Attorney, and he has said th re is no law under which to class these dealers, and therefore the committee would ask the Board to pass a law lo atleot these case?. The petitioners think these parties should come under the wholf sale liquor license law. The committee also desire to be informed whether those who have simply tavern licenses are allowed und<»r that license to sell ale or lager, bringing it here from other cities for that purpose. They also ask a redaction on the beer licnse, or a special license for the same, iu order that juirties who would sell lager only need no: pav the full tavern license. The brewers think it no more than right that the retail license on beer ol their ow n production ought lo be |t»ss than the tax cn those selling all kinds of liquor iiisd beer, and who have no tax but their license j to pay. The act to trim and gravel M street north, lrom Sixth to Tenth street west, was reported upon favorably by the improvements commit- j t»e, and referred to the Third Ward delegation for their consideration. The act to grade and gravel New York ave- nue lrom North Capitol to Boundary street, and the act to open Boundary street lrom New York avenue to Eighth street east, were laid on the table. The act to grade and gravel D street p.or'h, from First to Third street west, was referred back to the committee, with instructions to procure an estimate of cost from the City Sur¬ veyor. The nominations of B. W. Ferguson, for po¬ lice magistrate, and ol G. W. liobinson, for Commissioner of the Northern Market, were confirmed. The act for the reliel of James Towles came up again lor consideration, and failed to pass, by the following vote: Ayes..Messrs. Clephane, Plant, Richards and Brown. Nays..Messrs. Brodhead, Lloj'd, Seiiim-s ai d Clark. Mr. Clar stated that he was not present when the confirmation of 3Ir. Ferguson as po¬ lice magist.-ate was considered. Hid he been, he should have voted for Mr. F., as it was at liis (Claik's) instance the nomination had been laid over at the last meeting and he had no J objection to Mr. F erguson apart from what a. | genii* man in the Fifth Ward had told him, and that gentieman refused to prosecute the | matter or prepare any testimony.
