FRIDAY, MAY 9,1882.
Pkbsokax—For several weeks’ past let
ters to Dr. C. H. Ray, one of the editors of
the Tribctke, have remained unanswered.
His severe domestic affliction—the death
of Mrs. Ray—-noticed in yesterday morn
ing's issue, will account to his correspon
dents for an apparent neglect.
FBOE YOKE PEJiLNSILI.
The co-operation of the navy will bring
to a speedy close the campaign of
York peninsula. We have driven the rebels
beyond the line of the Chickahominy
su'd now it is announced that the iron-dad
Galena and some other vessels have gone
up James river, which, with the occupa
tion of York river, completes the prepara
tions for their capture. Furthermore, it is
stated that Bewall's Point, at the entrance
to Norfolk, has been evacuated, and the
movements in Ibat quarter look very much
as if we should have Norfolk and the great
Mcrrimac herself in a few days,
AITO PACIFIC
RAILROAD BILLS.
THU ho;
Amid the excitement of putting down
llic rebellion, the people do not stop to
consider the importance of the great na
tional measures passed or about to be pass
ed by the present Congress. The abolition
of slavery in the District of Columbia will
be ever memorable upon the pages of his
tory. The Homestead Bill, a measure that
will attract an immense population from
Europe and the old Slates to the Mississippi
Valley, and increase the wealth and power
of the nation far beyond the most sanguine
expectations, awaits only the signature of
the President to become a law. This it
will most assuredly receive. The House
Las passed the Pacific Railroad Bill, and
the Senate will unquestionably pass it as
Boon as it can be reached. This is not only
a great national enterprise, but it embraces
interests world-wide in their influence.
Prom what examination we have been able
lo give, we believe the road can and will,
within the next twelve years, be built un
der the provisions of the hill. These three
measures alone will secure tor the Repub
lican parly the respect and the gratitude of
the civilized world for all time to come.
GEN. HAMILTON SUPERSEDED.
A letter in the New York Tribune of the
6th inst., from its correspondent before
Yorktown, informs us that Gen. C. S. Ham
ilton, of Wisconsin, has been superseded
by the appointment to the command
of bis division of General Kearney.
General McClellan issued the order,
ar.d is responsible for the consc
cucru cs. Whatever they may be to the
nrmj, they will not, weapprehend, be very
agreeable to him. We have only General
Hamilton's wcli-camed reputation to guide
usin this criticism. We know him to be a
thorough military man, a brave soldier, and
a loyal gentleman. As we have repeat
edly been informed by regular army offi
cers, few men of the same rank in the army
eland better with the best men of the pro
fession, and no man is deserving of greater
confidence. The battles of the Mexican
War attest his bravery, lie fought all the
way from Vera Cruz to the city ol Mexico;
lie came home covered ‘with honorable
scars. By the patriotic citizens of Wis
consin he is honored and loved. This be
ing a truthful sketch of Gen. Hamilton, the
fact that be has been superseded by order
of Gen. McClellan for an alleged breach of
military etiquette, will not be likely to in
jure him materially with the people of the
country.
The New York Tribune's correspondent
makes this statement of the case:
“ In response to an order by the Commander-In-
Chief, detailing the regiments under Gen. Hamil
ton for faligne'iuia picket duty, that gentleman
first obeyed, and then uispatcaed a note to Gen.
McClellan, represcntingrUat his men had been,
from the tune of itelr arrival before Yorktowu,
notoriously overworked, to the serious detriment
of their health and efficiency; that other divisions
had been comparatively absolved from such labor.
For this note an apology was demanded. While
disclaiming any intention of discourtesy, Gen.
Hamilton persf-ted in his remonstrances. The
result is his removal and the substitution of Gen.
Kearney.'*
The same correspondent adds, I know
of no officer who was more deservedly
popular with his men, a? among those of
his own rank, than Gen. Hamilton, and his
dismissal has assuredly not diminished his
popularity/’ We leant that he is now in
Washington, it may be he is there to lay
his case before the President: at any rate,
Uie people of the Northwest will not rest
content to have this accomplished General
rudely set aside, if there are not gross rea
sons for doing so.
Report of a Federal Scoot who In
spected Fon Pillow and Dined with
Geu. Villlpigae—Tlie Itebcla Evacu
ating.
[Cor. (.dated 4th) Cincinnati Commercial.]
A couple of bcouts belonging to Col. Fitch’s
Indiana commai-c, stationed near Osceolo,
Ark., visited the Flag: Officer to-day (Sunday)
on tne B«-nton. They left Fort Pillow list
Friday night. ;.ml from indications, are of the
opinion that lb; en-uir are evacuating Fort
L'liknv —lolling ha -]l on Fulton, three miles,
and Fort Randolph, liftmen miles below.
Tlicre only four transports at Pillow —the
Clara Dobeu, Dr> Arc, Mary Patterson, and
one Other boa —the latter lying inside the
DoLcm Tb*y s-iy there is 3G gnus at Pillow,
all facing the river. Several of the batteries
are without ermaraeo’, iuuicating the remov
al ol cannon to Fulton and Randolph. Gen.
Villipignc is tm-rc, and chief in command.
One ol our scouts or spies conversed and
dined with him. He is personally acquainted
■xritli the General, having served under him.
Villipigne, he says, is irom the vicinity of
Baton Rogue, Louisiana—a strict disciplina
rian, and experienced officer. Gen. J.B. Rust
Ss also reported at Pillow.
Jeff. Thompson is at Fulton with 1,100 men
and one gunboat. Tnc men are encamped
Lack of Alexander's *arcbou»o. He is forti
fying that point. The only force at Randolph
at present is the Louisiana 21st regiment of
infantry, who are guarding a large number of
negroes engaged In fortifying that point,
which is a high and very commanding posi
tion. ,
The available force at Pillow is said to have
Leen reduced to 3,690 —one regiment of cav
alry having gone out on the road to Ripley,
fifteen miles distant, to watch the advance or
movements of our laud forces. This road is
adongtfae elevated strip of jand known as the
CLi' k.jfiaw Bluffs. They have also painted
Fcverol masked lotteries along this route in
order to worry our boyr, should they take a
motion to get up a pie-nic excursion some
pleasant May day in that direction.
Villipigue has been away, probably to
CorimU. During bis absence Rust was in’com
mand at Pillow. ViilipUue, on bis return,
Etated to his ni"U, *bo are becoming tired,
impatient, restless, and “ want to go home,”
that the attack o*. our licet last week was de
layed, owing io bis absence, notwithstanding
the dark, stormy and favorable nights to sur
prise and gobble u- up. He promised his dis
satisfied fcnldicrs plenty of Lincoloil-e tro
phies the first favorable opportunity—the
first dark night. Tu announcing the Federal
success nt New Orlcins, Villiplgue said it was
nil right—omy a nice piece of K f rategy—that
“we*(the enemy) jus* ]t-.t their fine gunboats
run past Fort-' Jackson and Phillip, in
order to get them inside of our (their)
lint 6—then tak*- them—that they kept the
Yankee transport* below, and would not

joke. We owe ViPipiirne one.

ACCOUNTS BY TELEGRAPH.
BALTXK«£tS, May ’r&hi-TifcO following, dated
Yorktown, May 7th, at *2 o’clock, Jis taken
from the correspondence of the American ot
this city;
As I "close my letter, tbe latest intelligence
received from the field of battle is that Gen.
McClellan has come up with the enemy about
eight miles beyond Williamsburg, and after a
pretty severe skirmish with his rear, has again
put niirf to flight across the Chickahominy. A
large additional number of prisoners have been
taken, including many deserters, who report
that they have had nothing to eat but a few
hard biscuit for nearly forty-eight hours, and
when brought in, fell down in a state of ex
haustion.
Heavy cannonading could be heard by the
boats coming down the river at an early hour
this morning. Nothing as to the result is yet
ascertained.'"
There is no doubt but that the whole army
cf Lee, Johnson and Magrader arc in a state
of utter disorganization, and, under the rapid
pursuit of McClellan, are fleeing with speed,
without the intention of making a stand any
where, and unless tney reach' Richmond in
boats, by the way of James river, they will
certainly be intercepted and captured by the
forces landing and landed at West Point. Not
less than fifty steamers are engaged transport
ing the balance of the army to West Point.
A large number of prisoners are arriving
there, and others are constantly being brought
in.
On Monday the enemy took about eighty of
our men prisoners, and captured one of the
Pennsylvania batteries, having first killed all
the horses. They having but a small sup-
port of infantry,"were overwhelmed by a su
perior force, and were compelled to aban
don their guns, but before tile close of the
day this battery, with one of the enemy’s, was
recaptured by Gen. McClellan, and the pris
oners they had taken were found in Williams-
burg next day engaged in attending on the
wounded of the enemy they had leu behind.
The retreat of ihe enemy was accompanied
by too much confusion and haste to be
troubled with prisoners.
I have just learned that the enemy have dc-
stroked all the bridges across the Chicka
horniny, and that Gen. McClellan is resting
Ids army on this side. It will be remembered
that the Chickahomlny runs parallel with the
James river, into which it enters. It is the
general impression that McClellan has now
got the enemy just where he wants them.
New York, May B.— A special to the New
Tork Times this afternoon, dated Fortress
Monroe May 7th, says the rebels burned their
cunboate in York river yesterday morning.
We have taken many prisoners in small par
ties, but cannot learn that any large bodies
have been captured.
Two companies of the Sth Illinois cavalry
are reported captured by the enemy.
Gen. McClellan was struck by a piece of
shell, but was not Injured.
The opinion prevails that if Franklin’s Di
vision receives reinforcements in time, a great
part of the rebel army will be captured.
The roads are in a very bad condition. Our
advance is greatly impeded.
FURTHER REPORTS OF THE BATTLE.
Baltimore, May B.—The following is from
the American's account of the battle” at Wil
liamsburg :
The battle before Williamsburg on Monday
was a warmly contested engagement.
Owing to the roughness of the country and
bad condition of the roads, but a small por
tion of onr troops could be brought into the
action. Gen. Sickles’s Excelsior brigade and
Gen. Hookers division bore the brunt of the
battle, and fought most gallantly throughout.
though greatly overpowered by numbers, and
the superior position and earthworks of the
enemy. The approaches to the earthworks
there was a series of ravines and swamps,
while the rain fell in torrents the whole day.
The men had also been lying on their arms
all the previous night in the woods and were
goaked with the rain and clilled with the cold.
The battle raged with great vigor from early
in the morning until three in the afternoon,
when McClellan arrived with fresh troops.
and relieved Hooker's division, who wera 1
nearly prostrate with fatigue and exposure,
whilst the od Excelsior regiment of Sickle’s
brigade had its ranks terribly thinned by the
batteries of the enemy. They are represent
ed as having Ic-ught with such bravery that 300
of them are killed and wounded. After
the arrival of Gen. McClellan, the enemy were
fiercely charged by Hancock’s brigade, and
were driven within their works before night,
with heavy loss. Nearly seven hundred of
their dead were left on the field, with many
wounded, though most of the latter were car
ried into Williamsburg.
Our loss is less than three hundred killed
and seven hundred wounded.
Night having come, we occupied tlic battle
field, the enemy having been driven within
their works. Our forces laid on their arms
prepared to storm the works in the morning.
On Tuesday morning Gen. McClellan sent
Out scouts whilst preparing to move on the
enemy’s works, who soon reported that he
bad again taken flight during the night. The
works of the enemy and the city of Williams
burg were then taken.
Fort Magrnder was a most extensive work,
capable ol prolonged defence, but the enemy
had abandoned it early in the night, retreat
ing in Hie greatest alarm and confusion as de
scribed by a few negro women who were found
in the town, A large number of wagons, mu
nitions and a considerable store of provisions
were found in the town, and the road was
strewn for many miles with arms and accou
trements. A number of deserters also made
tii»- ir escape and came within our lines, who
stated they had received intelligence that
lari’c numbers of Federal troops were landing
on'Tork river, above Williamsburg, to flank
them.
The 2d New Hampshire regiment had 16
killed, 66 wounded, and 23 missing.

*A GREAT FLANK MOVEMENT.
Nfw Yoeel, May 8. —Mr. Raymond, editor
or the Tintfg , who is at Yorktown, states that
“ Gen. Franklin •went np the York River with
his divit-ion 5 csterday, and I hear this morning
that Gen. Sedgwick had also embarked at
and will join Franklin this morn
ing. They are expected to march from the
York river to a pV>ce called New Kent, on the
rond between "Williamsburgand Richmond, and
thus to cut off the rebel*’ treat. We have no
firing this morning. It is now nine o’clock
from 'which we inter that the rebels withdrew
during the night, else that onr troops are
awaiting the arrival of Franklin and Sedg
wick in the rear. If the rebels stand where
they are, they will find themselves between
two formidable armies, and compelled to cut
their way through one of them or surrender
at discretion, lam inclined to think they
will cross the Ghickahomiay river, and de
stroy the bridges and ferry so as to avoid pur
suit. This seems to be the only way in. wuich
they can hope to save any portion of their
army.
It is barely possible that vre may have hard
Cutting yet, but the general opinion is thit
the enemy will escape in the way indicated,
nnd that General McClellan can advance np m
Richmond without any very formidable oppo
sition.”
EXPEDITION TTP JAMES RIVER—SEW
ALL’S POINT EVACUATED.
F oetress Mgkros, Hay B—a it— The iron
ship ol war Galena, and the gunboats Aroa
took and Port Royal, started up James River
this morning. They hive passed Day’s Point
battery, and heavy firing has been heard up
the river since their departure. They will cut
off the river communication with the rebels
Bontb of the Chlckahominy instantly
After the gunboats started, the rebel tug J.
B. White came out in front of Newport News,
having left Norfolk this morning with a crew
of two citizens on board, on a mission to Ton
nciy, Point. By previous consent they ran
over to Newport News and surrendered to
(fen. Mansfield.
Sewell's Point is being evacuated. The
Monitor. Naugatuck, and several gunboats
have just left for Bewall's Poinf.
FURTHER CONCERNING YORKTOWN.
[Correspondence dated Sunday morning.}
The enemy covered their retreat by a furi
ous fire from their parapets that was kept up
till 2 o’clock in the morning. “For what
are they raising such a row to-night?” was
the question under discussion. Just then an
indiscriminate tda*** of ammunition wagons,
which had been bearing shells to our out
works, undercover of the night, came rolling
with great tumult into our field. The
•mules were stampeding, frightened with the
• enemy’s heavyflre. All thought for a moment,
that the rebels were making a sortie, and that
some of onr field batteries were taking a
u safer position.?’ Then came the discovery
of the reality, and much joking, but—just aa
many shells. For several hours the rebels
fired two-minute guns. At last we got out of
patience, and opened some heavy replies.
Alter ten minutes —at about 2 a. m. —not an
other rebel shot was heard. Then deserters
came in, declaring that the rear guard of the
foe had evacuated, and was pushing for Wil-
liamsburg.
By 8 a. ar., east and west,
kss Is hot pursuit of the retreating rebels* X
learn thus much of the left wing, and am my
self now writing in ’the Yorktown works,
-while Gen. Fliz JolurPorters division, from
the right wine, is pouring through the gates
and on beyond the fortresses, by the WUliams-
burg river road. It is preceded by tbe Mc-
Clellan dragoons and 6th cavalry, with a large
artillery force.
THE PURSUIT AND SKIRMISH.
[Correspondence Dated Sunday Evening.]
We Lave had an exciting and eager pursuit
of the flying enemy. In advance on the right,
the McClellan dragoons, withe the first and
sixth regular cavalry, all under Generals Stone
mann and P. St. G. Cooke. Then Gibson’s
Robinson’s and other flying artillery. Then
infantry, &c., but within six miles beyond
Yorktown the various roads from our late ar-
my lines so converges that portions of differ
ent divisions found themselves in irregular se
quence along the main road to Williamsburg.
At about 3 p. m. come artillery firing from
the front; then musketry volleys; and some
thing is apparently going on. Getting for
ward as swiftly as possible, we began to meet
symptoms of hot work- Wounded and bleed
ing men, belonging to the Ist and oth cavalry,
anti to Major Barker’s McClellan Dragoons,
painfully ride or are borne to the rear. A
stand has been made by the enemy’s rear
guard, at a little town in the woods known as
Worthington’s Mills. Gibson’s Battery has
quickly driven it in, but only that our van
may find it falling back on a large body, and
holding the works, two-miles this side of
Williamsburg, of which we have heard so
much.
Here ensues a hot and gallant affair. The
skirmishers having discovered the enemy’s de
fenses on high ground ahead, and the rebel
batteries opening on Gibson’s company
of flying artillery—which has moved in
to a field on the right to take possession of an
apparently deserted outwork—four or five
thousand rebel infantry, a regiment of caval
ry, and four batteries or their field pieces ap
pear suddenly in front of and upon their
•works. The batteries move to the deserted
redoubt, reach it before Gibson, and their
pieces are speedily trained and in full play up
on him. He promptly responds, firing with
effect on the infantry and cavalry, and, when
the order is given to withdraw till reinforce
ments come up, hauls off his ordnance piece
bv piece.
Meantime, Capt. Saunders, commanding
the Sixth Cavalry, discovers three companies
of the enemy's horse moving down a ravine,
and ordf rs a charge to meet them. Compa
nies A, M, E, and K gallop down the hill —an
actual hand-to-hand conflict ensues, the ene
my firing carbines, and our men their revol
vers, besides some cut-and-thrusting with sa-
bres. Wheel a'.juc and withdraw and a ,
closing volley lr<.m both sides. The ra
vine is clear of cavalry, but twenty or
thirty dead and wounded men and horses
lie in its hollow. The men are of the ene
my ; our boys have brought off their dyiug
and dead. Sergeant Devercux has killed two
rebels with his revolver, and brings in their
horses and pistols. Our gallant Lieutenant
McClellan is wounded. Captain Hays and a
rebel officer have had a pistol duel, exchang
ing two shots, and Hays at the second has
winged and dropped his man. The Sixth cav
alry have lost in all about forty killed and
wounded this afternoon, a large portion of
whom were hurt by the enemy’s fierce artillery
fire.
The First Cavalry also advance under Gen.
Cooke and Colonel Grier—are ordered to sup
port the artillery on the right. They have
slight loss, but one shell kills five horses and
three men. Captain Gibson’s loss is reported
at about the same ; probably fifty killed, and
wounded in the usual proportions, will cover
our list of casualties in this affair. Both sides
halt. Onr iufantiy have not come up, and it
would be absurd to even reconnoiter strong
and elevated field-works with cavalry in such
a tract as this.
By and by Generals Sumner and Heintzel
man arrive at the Old Mansion—about one
mile from the works in front—where Generals
Stoneman and Cooke are halting, as aforesaid.
We are all trying to get supper for ourselves
and horses, while the cavalry and artillery are
in battle order in the fields each side. General
Sumner, with a brigade of infantry, avows
he will go forward and take the main work
with cold steel. Prince de J , who
has made a recounoissauce in front, reports
the enemy in battle order behind their works,
and thinks an attack so near evenings very
hazardous affair in such a terra incognita as
this peninsula. Gen. Sumner, however, ad
vances, and news comes back that the skir
mishers think the coast clear—the “last
ditch” deserted. It is too dark to move,
however, and the entire force around us are
preparing to sleep upon their arms.
10 p. si.—A great light is visible In the di
rection of Williamsburg. The rebels either
encamped in force, or burning their commis
• sarv stores. Probably the latter.
MONDAY’S OPERATIONS.
[Correspondence dated before Williamsburg,
Monday evening.]
When my letter •mis sent last evening, the
indications were that our troops would occu
py Williamsburg without much opposition.
The first indications of the enemy’s rear
guard being reinforced was the fact of their
pressing our lines about eight o’clock in the
morning, showing a determination to resist
our advance. Suilicient reinforcements had
arrived during the night to enable our Gene
rals to act either on the defensive or offen
sive.
About 8 o’clock, the enemy opened on our
troops posted on the left, composed of Gen.
Hookers division, and other troops of Gen.
Hcintzclman’s division. The action in this
vicinity was very heavy at times. The loss In
killed and wounded is not known, but suppos
ed to be considerable on both sides. The
cm my was repulsed at all points. Qen. Feet’s
brigade, stationed to the right of Gen Hooker,
soon after became engaged. Here the firing
was very heavy for about two hours, during
which they handsomelv repulsed the enemy,
in making a charge. Our loss here was about
thirty killed, and seventy-five wounded.
A brilliant victory was achieved about five
o’clock in the afternoon, by Gen. Hancock’s
brigade, assisted by Kennedy’s and Wheeler’s
bat teries. They bad been ordered to the right
to feel the enemy, and if possible to turn their
left wing. Here they were met by Early’s
brigade, consisting of the slh North Carolina
and Twenty-fourth and Thirty-eighth Virginia
regiments, wilha squadron of cavalry who ad
vanced in line of battle. Our troops, who
were quickly prepared to receive them, open
ed a heavy fire on them, and the enemy ad
vanced steadily to within two hundred yards,
when Gen. Hancock ordered a charge with the
bayonet, which was executed with the great
est courage. The enemy’s line broke—they
became panic-stricken. and fled, leaving
their dead and wounded. The rebels left
upwards of 80 dead and 40 wounded,
we also took nearly 300 of them prisoners.
Among their killed and wounded was the Col
onel and Lieutenant-Colonel of the North
Carolina regiment. Our loss was 17 killed
and about 40 wounded. Among the enemy’s
dead were the bodies of the Lieutenant-Colo
nel and Major ol the 24th Virginia regiment,
together with several other officers. Their
dead were buried by our troops, and their
wounded cared for.
The conduct of Gen. Hancock and his brig
ade on this occasion has excited universal ad
riiiration. A standard of colors belonging to
the cavalry engaged was captured, and is now
on its way to Washington.
When the news of Geu. Hancock’s success
became known, a shout went up from the
tents of thousands of Union throats, that made
the country resound for miles around. Geo.
Hancock remained during the week in the
two works of the enemy.
From information received from the prison
ers taken, the enemy will make a decisive
g’and at Williamsburg, reinforcements hav
ing been arriving all day, and Gen. J. E. John
bton !s In command.
The enemy’s works are very formidable and
extend across the peninsula this side of Wil
liamsburg.
Tuxpdat Mormjto, May 6.
This is a beautiful May morning. The op
erations of to-day are not yet known. The
whole army is in good spirits.
Arrival of President Lincoln at
Portress Monroe.
Fortress Monroe, May 7.—President Lin
coln arrived here this morning, and spent the
day with Gen. Wool. This afternoon he vis
ited Newport News to see Gen. Mansfield, and
to have a clear view of the Merrimoc, which

CLAY KTHQ’S REBEL GtJEEI|LAS,
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
- Cabo, May §1862.
The steamer Champion arrived this morning
from Pittsburg Lauding, ’ She reports nothing
new transpiring. A very heavy rain fell there
on Sunday night, making the roads very bad
again. Our forces were still slowlyf advan
cing. Our advance was within hearing dis
tance of Corinth- The whistling and moving
of trains could be distinctly heard.
The steamer De Soto, just from the flotilla,
reports that cannonading could be heard in
the rear of Fort Pillow. The day being clear
and quiet, noises could be heard a great dis
tance. Many thought it was our forces driv
ing Beauregard towards Memphis.
The expedition which left in search of Clay
King has not been heard from yet.
Ten o'ceoek P. M. —On Friday., .last ..de
tails 'from "companies E, FJ and ’G, of
the Curtis Horse, numheringonehundredand
thirty men, under command of Maj. Schaffer,
left Fort Henry in search of Col. Claiborne,
formerly of Clay King’s rebel cavalry, who
for several weeks have committed depreda-
tions and outrages upon Union men in the
country lying between the Tennessee and
Ohio rivers, particularly in Wickly and Henry
counties. From Fort Henry they marched to
Faria, a distance of SO miles, and from Paris to
Como and seven miles beyond, and encamped.
Here a rumor reached them that the rebel
cavalry, three thousand strong, under com
mand of CoL Jackson, were in pursuit two
hours behind. A detail was sent back to leam
particulars, and the column started and. was
overtaken by the detail after an advance of a
few miles. The reported pursuit was confirm-
Ed, and they hastened to Dresden, where.they
arrived just at daybreak, Monday. There
they halted till noon and then marched to
Latham’s Bridge, on the Obion river, thinking
themselves safe from further pursuit- They
halted, unsaddled their horses, and prepared
to feed. While affairs were in this
position the enemy came down upon them
with resistless force and they were scattered
in every direction. A few reached theirhorses
and made a desperate fight, but the majority
were scattered and captured. The casualties
on our side, (as reported to me by one who
was taken prisoner, and escaped to the hush,
whence he made his way to Hickman, arrivlog
late Wednesday evening,) are six killed, 13
wounded, and seventy taken prisoners, 30 are
known to have escaped, and were last heard
from thirty miles on their way to Fort Henry.
Capt. Howe, of Co. F, is among the prison
ers. Our fought as they ran, audit is
supposed did equal execution to the enemy,
excepting in matters of prisoners.
On Tuesday, in consequence of reports
brought to him from Union men in the coun
ties upon Obion river, of the presence of a
rebel cavalry force in that region, Col. Hogg
of the Second Illinois cavalry, commandant of
the post at Hickman, headed a force consist
ing of abont 250 cavalry and two pieces of ar
tillery, and started for that locality, arriving at
Jacksonville, about fifteen miles southeast of
Hickman, early In the evening. He learned that
the enemy’s force exceeded 3,000, and that
they were this side the Obion. Fearing an
attack by superior numbers, he sent back to
the post for reinforcements. Col. Foster,
with a battalion of the 22d Missouri, number
ing 200 men, and two pieces of artillery, march
ed to their relief, arriving at Jacksonville
abont daylight Wednesday morning. Know
ing the enemy’s force, it was not deemed pru
dent to attack him, and Col. Hogg, after acay
olry rcconnoissanee to the ford of the Obion,
8 miles distant, where it wasafterwards learned
the enemy’s ynckcte were posted, returned to
Jacksonville and thence to Hickman.
The woods in those portions of Tezmesseo
visited by us the woods arc alive with desert
ers from Corinth. The rebel cavalry is sent
from that place to enforce the Confederate
conscription act, and many Union men liable
to duty are being impressed and driven off at
the point of the bayonet. The latter are
hunted by rebel cavalry like beasts of prey.
To day, just as the Diligent arrived at
Hickman, Doctor Underwood, a promi
nent Union citizen from Wiakly county
came into town, having received a friendly
warning that the rebel cavalry were crossing
over the river this evening, and that if found
at home he would be hung. There are in
stances of devotion to the Union cause in
Tennessee, coming under my own observa
tion, which are unparalleled, and go far to
conllrm my iaith in the ultimate suppression
of this unholy rebellion.

Cairo, May S.—The roads near Corinth are
in such a horrible condition as to stay all con
templated movements of the army. The
headquarters of Gens. Halleck and Grant are
how located at Monterey. There are large
numbers of hospital boats at Pittsburg Land
ing, sent by the Sanitary Commissions of
Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, and Cincin
nati. ”Thc Illinois sick and wounded are all
token care of by the State. Besides the
Champion now coming down cn route for
Quincy, Gov. Tates yesterday chartered the
steamer City of Alton to bring home sick Illi
nois soldiers.
Cairo, May B. — A combination of mud and
rain has considerably interfered with the plans
of General llalleck, and his army remains in
statu quo. Skirmishes between the pickets of
tbe two armies are now such frequent occur
rences that they attract but little attention.
Deserters who come into onr lines emphati
cally deny that Beauregard is evacuating, but,
on the contrary, assert that he is strengthen
ing las former positions, and has since built
several formidable works.
Gov. Tates has loaded the steamer Cham
pion with 300 sick and wounded Illinois
soldiers, who have been in the Shiloh hospit
als. Most of the latter received their wounds
while skirmishing on outposts, since the late
battle. The Champiou was expected to leave
Pittsburg Landing this morning.
The hospital steamer Sam Gaty, chartered
by the Slate of Wisconsin, left for the Tennes
see river this morning. She is in charge of
Adj. Gen. Wadsworth and Surgeon Gen. Wol
cott , and takes up some thirty surgeons and
nurses.
There is no news from the flotilla. Captain
Davis arrived here this morning, and will at
once report to Com. Foot*, and enter upon
his duties as second in command.
It is rumored that large bodies of rebel cav
alry have been seen within a short distance of
Tlptonville, and that a reconnolssance from
TTErkman encountered some of Clay King's
guerrillas, killlog several and capturing their
leader, but no reliable particulars have been
received.
Paducah, May B.—More of Curtis’s cavalry
arrived in the city last night. There have now
been in all forty-three reported to this office.
The officers of the command consisted of Ma
jor Shaffer. Captains Howe, company F, Von
Winden, company G, and Kbit, company E ;
Lieutenants Vrerienbnrsr, Quartermaster Sec
ond Battalion, M M.'Wheeler, company E,
and W QliatriS of company F. Major Shaffer, as
I telegraphed you, is reported dead, and all
tubstquent accounts have confirmed this re
port. Captain Howe was shot in the breast
twice, and is also supposed to be dead. Capt.
Von Winden received an ugly gunshot wound
in the head and was reported dead.
Capt. Nott was also shot and fell underneath
his horse, but there is a report of his having
been seen alive. Lieut. Vredenburg re
ceived two gun-shot wociids, and is sup
posed to be dead or a prisoner. Lieutenant
Wheeler was taken prisoner, after getting
twelve miles from the scene of surprise, by
bis horse falling with him and getting away.
He escaped by cooking his guard across
the rail fence and leaving him for dead. He
procured a citizen’s suit of a farmer and came
to Mayfield on horseback, and to this place
by care. He found his horse and equipments
all sale when he arrived here.
Major Shaffer and Quartermaster Vreden
bnrg wcj e from Dnbnque, Capt Howe from
Burlington. Iowa; Capt. Van Winden from
81. Paul, Minnesota; Capt. Nott from New
York city, where he was formerly engaged in
the practice of law; and Lieut. Wheeler from
Waukegan, Illinois.
It is the opinion of the officers that I have
talked with, that a small numburof their com
mand must have escaped to Hickman.
The rebel cavalry force left the vicinity of
Mayfield ycsieway morning at three o’clock,
in the direction of ud the Tennessee river.
Qnitea little flurry existed in town, about
ten o’clock la-t night, in consequence of a re
port circulating-that the rebel cavalry were
within six. miles, and had taken our scouts
sent‘out to reconnoitre. The Paymaster,
thinking discretion the better part of valor,
took what remained of his three hundred
thousand doll rs and went on board the

war- the sunrise gun this morning.
Nothing new from Corinth, It is stQl re
ported tnat Corinth is being evacuated, but
our troops are certainly not in fell possession
of the place. It is more difficult to obtain
anything reliable from Corinth than it is from
almostany other point in the United States.
I have just learned that Captain Nott has
just come in with his collar bone and one rib
broken. In tins condition he walked some
thirty-five miles, being in close proximity to

Successful Exploits on the Coast.
Washington, May B. —The Navy Depart
ment Las received dispatches from Com.
Dupont, dated Port Royal Mayo, giving in
teresting particulars of the expedition of
the 29th of April, with the Hale, to cap
ture a battery on Grumball's plantation
near the junction of Dawho, Pawpaw, and
South Edisto rivers. It appears the enemy
opened on the Hale when within 1,800 yards,
and continued to tire while she was on her
way to engage* them in close quarters; but
when the Hale reached the east bend, making
a straight course for the battery, the rebels
Ik-d. The works mounted two long 34-pound
fled in haste. Lieut. Selles landed with a party
of men to destroy it. The work is about 350
yards from the river bank, and mounted two
long fine 24-pounders on excellent field car
riages. So rapid was the flight of the rebels
that one gun was left loaded and primed. The
Hall returned to her anchorage without hav
ing a man injured.
Another report details the proceedings at
Bull’s Bay. Lieut. Nickels crossed the bar
with the Onward, on the 7th ultu, and anchor
cd within 500 yards of the light house on Bull’s
Island, and opened fire on a small work
situated about filly yards to the southward of
the Light House, shortly after he landed in
lus bouts, covered by the guns of the O. N.
Ward. The rebels fired upon the party but
not awaiting an attack, fled from the Island to
the main land. The O. N. Ward has now
complete command of the channel, so that
no vessels can either go in or out. !
On the 3d ultimo, Lieutenant Commanding
Nicholson, of the Isaac Smith, stationed at St.
Augustine, having heard that a schooner had
come in over the Matanzas Bar, some eighteen
miles to the southward, dispatched three arm
ed boats, together with a detachment of 35
men from Colonel Bell’s command, to cap
ture her, which was done; and the
schooner brought up to St. Augustine. The
vessel was called the Empire City. She clear
ed from Nassau, N. S., for St. Johns, N.
S. Her cargo consisted of provis
ions, dry goods, medicines, *fcc. In
consideration' of the fact that the citi
zens of St. Augustine were without
the necessaries of life, and with no means of
getting them, Lieut. Nicholson sold the cargo
or a portion of it at auction.
The gunboat Kcrhama, on tl\e 3lst ult., off
