Two deaerters, who came in thla morning, stats that
General Jo. Johnston waa seriously If not mortally
wounded through the groin, by a Mini# ball, during the
1ftt?ltMitU?. General W. 8mitb to now in command.
Other information received goes to corroborate tbe fact.
These deaertera state that the rebel losa ia estimated at
10,000 in killed, wounded and missing.
No material change has taken place in the position of
tfe ??esay.
A contraband has arrived who left Richmond yester
day. He represents things there as in a terrible state
at ooafofion apd uncertainty. No troops are in tbe
City eioepting tho?? doing guard duty and tending te the
a$d woundod, all being compelled to remain out
tide. There were no signs of evacuation, but, on tbe
contrary, everything goes to show a determined resist
sum on the part of the rebels.
, The contraband state} that during the fight of Sunday
tops and all elevated positions were covered
with people to witness tbe battle, every one expecting to
Me oar troops driven into the Chickahominy ; but when
they saw tbe rebels running toward tflb citj the great
est consternation prevailed.
Many of the inhabitants have crossed the James riv
er, expecting the city to be occupied by our troops soon.
It to rumored that General Msgruder is going to re
sign, having beceme disgusted with the rebel military
?totnlMration.
. we are informed that there are no troops between the
Iteppatapck jtt?tgg Army of the Potomac under com
mand of OeneralMoClellan.
t*?ry thing has been very quiet to-day.

Ton doubtless received aocounta of the first
4ay'a fighting at Bottom's Bridge, between the left wing
of the army, under Generals Casey, Sedgwick and othersi
?Bd a superior force of rebels.
The greatest excitement pervaded the other portions of
tho army, and at one timotbe entire centre was held under
?rdars to move. A portion of tbe,right, under Porter and
Franklin, actually marched to the Cbickahomtny, when
their advance wan recalled. During Saturday afternoon
and Sunday morning (be men sat breathlessly in camp,
Inaring the incessant volleys of cannon and musketry,
and reckoning the probable turn or the battle by the
ohanget is the direction of the firing.
The reports were distinctly heard at White Honso
nearly thirty miles away, and the first impressiona there
received were unfavorable to our caui>e. Tbe sutlers
and pic bakers and vender* of newspapers there congre
gated were at once stricken with dismay. They were,
Jn fact, upon the point of emigrating, and a num
ber of frame shanties or sheds in process of erection
were stopped for a season, until tbe final reports
re-establ>hcd things upon the old boats. There is little
doubt that whon a full hiatory of the battle of Bottom's
Bridge is written, if ever,, it will be found one of the
most sanguinary and peculiar battles ever fought in mo
dern times. The diversity of tbe valor of the several
regiments?some from the name State acting aa poltroons
and some as heroes?the odd manner ia which the en
gagement commenced, and apparently inexplicable way
In which the tide of success was shifted: more than ail,
tbe mystery with which parts or the action are en
veloped, so that even at headquarters no completely
lucid and aotirato account of the act ion can be gleaned?
those are soma of the dtlbculties tiiat baitis tho clii'oaicler;
hut enough is known to em.ble us to state that the battle
terminated gloriously for the Union arms.
Tbe enemy was driven foiy miles towarda RH-hinotid'
and our camps now occupy an advanced position in the
dlroction of tbe rebel capital. We captured one of bis
generals, recovered a part of our ramio%alew upwards of
a thousand of his troops, and charged him with tho point
?(the bayooot, tulhe lied i>anic stricken and almost demo
ralize Had the Otickshomluy been fordable we should
have pushed tbe whoie army across the stream, and
completed cur triumph by the occupation of Richmond.
Unfortunately beavy rains bad swollen the stream, so
that tbe bridgo where Sedgwick crossed on Saturday w:?s
? masa of floating logs on Sunday. Ihe pontoon bridges
had not been completed, end tbe rnads were ia a condl
tion positively impassable for artHlery. We wore, there
fore, compelled to ab ndou the idea of immediate pur
suit, and wait ler the elements to abats.

no testimony of prloonaro strengtbena asy belief.
They all say that the robela mean to make their laat
standi before Richmond.
"Yon have got me, gentlemen." said young Washing
ton, of General Johnston's staff, a nephew of the late
John A. Washington; "but you must fight like the devil
before you get Richmond."
If we may judge from their reeont fighting, the enemy
mean to rely mainly upon the musket. They have
stated frequently that we can outvie them with artillery,
as our pieces ara of bettor construction and our firing
mora exact. At Bottom's Bridge, or Fair Oaks (the latter
being the site of the battle), they hurled column upon
column against our left, and obliged ua to resort to the
nnin?? means to repulse and discomfit thom. If they
wwh a fair infantry fight we can accommodate them;
but us this ground between the Chickahominy and Rich
mond- is said to be favorabla to cavalry service, it is not
improbable that Stoneman and his dragoons may have
an opiwrtunlty to distinguish themselves. Of the num
ber of our batteries I am forbidden to speak; but
it is not contraband to state that we can afford
to plant field piecos upon the whole stretch of
heights commanding the Chickahominy, and reserve
enough to flght tbe greatest battle of modern times
Our ammunition teams come in daily densely laden. We
believe that the Army of the 1'eninsula is invincible, If
not in the number, at least in the equipment and valor of
its troops.
Th : report! received in tho North of these battlea ara
necessarily imperfect, and the efLcul documents per
taining hei oto will probably be long delayed. Those
who suppose that tbe labor of a news gatherer upon tho
battle lleld is facile and rapid should stroll, as 1 have,
over the ground where the dead yet lie unburied, and
the survivors expect momentarily to reeume the conflict.
Beyond vague aud general statements nothing can be
learnod. Tbe colonel or eaeh regiment takes the whale
credit of the victory upon hlmseir, but can give no in
formation as to the number of bis missing, the distances
traversed or the outlines of the fight. There are many
parlicipnuts in the fight who cannot relate anything
beyond isolattt an4 ufiifiajwUpt statements, while the
whole llejd stretches before the correspondent,
who* must glean its paiticulars in momentary
dread of provost guards, between whom and himself
the antipathies are vaster than seai.
A funny occurrence waa noted at New Bridge to-day.
Whan General Franklin and stair rode over the earthen
approaches that had been undermined by the recent
rains, the General waa capsized Into the creek, from
which he emerged snorting, dripping and laughing. He
Immediately remounted and pushed beyond our utmost
sentinel, followed by his staff. The bullets literally
raiued around them: but the General stood unmoved,
looked up the road and then leisurely rode away. His
corps is the most reltaole portion of the grand army.
We have beard heavy firing for the peat two nights in
tha direction of James river, and there are speculations
abroad that our fleet is laboring for a second time to
reduce Fort Darling. Sucfi reduction effected would
hasten our great consummation. * . - >
It is the commonly received opinion among oar officers
i that the summer campaign of this army will and on our
arrival at Richmond.

THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB.
Annual Kace In New York Bay.
The annual regat ta of tbe New York Yacht Club took
piaco yesterday, under very favorable circumstances.
The day was fair and delightful, the breezes ccol and
refi esbing, and the waters were alive with numerous
craft, Rayly bedecks! with dags and banners, which ac~
coinpaulcd the splendid yacht fleet. The expectations of
the lovers or aquatic sport had been considerably ex
cited by tho promisee of a flrst class race; and though
unfavorable winds ana weather had seriously interfered
with the earlier fulftlraont of the programme*, the grand
racocame olf at length in the most sdmirable order.
Two steamboats?the Mntiawan and the R. L. May bee?
chartered by the Yacht Club, were ready from an early
hour of the morning to receive such visitors as were
prepared with tickets for this interesting excursion
Tho.se boats vrer% moored at the wharf at tho foot of
Morton street, in the vicinity of which ?largo collection
of carriages was continually rolling in ai.d depositing a
number of fashionable ladies In the best of spirits, ready
for the onjoyment of the day, and fbr a good time upon
the waters. Of pedestrians there was a goodly orowd.
Some were too early for the boat, some were almost too
late. Others came tumbling along just as the wheels of
the steamer were moving round, and a small company
was at last, as usr.al, left behind. The best of the two
chartered steamboats was the Mottawan, pro
vided with an excellent band, which amosed
and enlivened the company during the whole race.
Among the most distinguished guests on board this
steamer we may mention Admiral Juries de la Graviere,
tcmaydsr of the Freceb fleet on this station. The gal
lant Admiral was accompanied by his family, all of
whom took great interest in the sports, and expressed
themselves greatly delighted with the arrangements for
the race.
Ken ral of the vessels which bad boen entered origi
nally did not appear, and the result was that the com
petitors preempt bad only to ran the distance prescribed
and win the prise. This was the case in two instances?
namely, those of the Restless, of the second class schoon.
era, tind the Favorita,of the first elass.
The general start of all the vessels took place at abou1
quarter-past eleven o'clock. The wind was then blow
ing very fairly ir?m tlie northeast, and all the boats
went shipping rapidly over the waters like so many
swallows. The wind continued fresh and strong until
tlie boats retched Hobins' lUef stake boat, when the
breere gradually died away and an almost perfect calm
succeeded. This greatly dispirited the whole party, a8
for several minutes there was no sign of a returning
wind. The bouto bad their sails flxed,and those not
yet overburthened with canvess began to crowd on more
sail, sndeavoring to catch every favorable breath of air.
For some time, however, all their exertions were of no
use. There was?
Ne stir in the air, tu stir in the sea?
Tbn ships were sffll ns ships might be;
Their sails from Heaven received 110 motion,
Their keels wero steady in the ocean.
This disappointment to the young and gallant yachts
men was fortunately only temporary. While their flap
ping sails were being spread out to woo the winds a
flr.ab breese from the southeast gradually sprang up,
tiding their sails and causing the bith rte sloping
waters to bublile and foam with life. The greatest
activity was then visibly on board the yachts. o..ch one
striving to get the advantage of the shifting wind. The
excitement am -ng tlTu dtiten-nt vessel* was considerable
for a short tune; but litesloopScud seon got far ahead,
and kept the lead until she arrived at the stake boat,

Hon. O. Wslijes, Secretary of the Navy:?
The despatch boat of last night reports ths evacuation

CUino, June 0,1802.
There la vet some doubt that oar fleet &aa passed Fort
Randolph, where the rebels or* said to have taken the
guns which they removed from the" fort above. Tbey
loft only five or six guns. Before leaving they destroyed
the barracks, camp equipage, gun carriages and ssch
stores as oould not be transported. Tbey also burned the
cotton, of which the breastworks were constructed.
The flotilla cast off at five o'clock yesterday morning,
and wars followed by the transports carrying the Forty
sixth Indians, Colonel Fetch, who new occupy the works,
which are said to be of great strength, and if properly
manned conld have successfully resisted a large force.
The rebels alter leaving ths fort destroyed the poatoca
bridge which tbey bad constructed some weeks stooeorer

Whan ths DeSoto, which last arrived from the lest,

Cmo, 111., June 8,1803.
The Situation at Fort Pillow, or Wright, dtc.
The dally arrival of beats from the fleet below keeps
us constantly advised of military movements in that
quarter. It is probably not contraband for me to state
tbers are signs of renewed activity in the managsmsnt ef
affaire there, though whether it is indicative of a resump
tion of hostilities or a prelude to a long repoee I am un
able to say. The ty-ing from tho mortar and gun bonis goes
on slowly, though without producing any serJous effect
upon the fortifiestioua of the enemy. The rebels' res
ponse is generally feeble, though occasionally their
firing Is quits rspid. Their aim is vary good, ths balls
and shell oftentimes dropping uaoomrortsbly near oar
boats. A recosnoissancs yesterday showed their fleet si
rest undor tho protecting guns of Fort Pillow and ssveral
of their transports tlsd up to ths Arkansas shore. Mo
signs of sotivity were visible, and from all outward in
dications ths rebels are not desirous of repeating
t ha alfair of the 10th of May. They have felled
largo trees seress Obion river to prevent our making
survsys and observations up that stream, and it is rs
ported that they aro obstructing Hatchie river below
Fort Pillow, as if they contemplated an evaluation of the
post, and were desirous of preventing us from pursuing
tbsra Inland. Rsfugees from Mimphta confirm ths story
that ths oity is fsst being depopulated in anticlpatloe of
a visit from ths lmplacabls Northerners. Cotton has
been msds rssdy for burning, and soma already com
mitted to the damns, and sugar and molasses piled ready
for rolling into the liver. Whenever we make our
adreut thither the waters of the Mississippi,
if not purer, will be tar sweeter, below Memphis tnsa
above. Msny of the inhsbitants have moved to North
ern Mississippi through foar thst their own people will
burn the city st the first indication of our approach.
All the newspaper offices srs sitbor already moved or
are prepared to ma!:e a summer's journey to Uranada,
Mississippi. It is hoped that tney may find the change
a pl iaant and profitable one to themselves and thsir
readers. If ths atmosphere of (iranada can improve
tha tone and, temper of the Memphis editors tho ?oun
try will be amply rewarded by the removal.
