TUESDAV, MAT 13, 1862.
rg~Tbe storm last craning materially
interfered with the transmission of news
by telegraph.
II ■will be observed that the House
yesterday, passed Mr. Arnold's bill prohib
iting slavery in the Territories, navy
•or upon other public property of the Uni
ted States, by the good vote of So to 50. It
vrDl pass the Senate.
BICHISOND NOT TAKEN’.
Gen. McClellan's army passed a quiet
fiendav upon the banks of tbe Pamunkcy,
its advance being still at White House,
twenty miles from the rebel capital. White
Bouse is on the line of railroad and about
midway between Richmond and West
Point. The other places mentioned in the
dispatches—2s cw Kent Court House. Cum
berland, etc. —are in the immediate neigh
borhood, though a few miles to the rear.
McClellan has left the boasted rebel line of
the Chickshominy to itself and the rebels
behind it to our gunboats upon James river.
The route he has chosen is more direct,
and presents fewer obstacles, and if the
rebels who hare been so particular to bum
bridges behind them in their retreat, care
more for their capital than for their own
precious lives, they will have no lack of an
opportunity to light in afew days. But we
imagine that Richmond will tall without a
blow; and that the armies of Lee and Jo
Johnston, have already dispersed them
selves across James river.
When Richmond shall be taken, Chica
go will be well represented in the perform
ance by some of tbe best troops wc have
sent to the field. There are Farnsworth’s
cavalry, from this comer of the State, in
cluding three or four hundred men
Irom Cook county: Major Bar
ker's dragoons; the Sturgis rifles;
and Bustced’s artillery, now muster
ed under a Hew York organization. We
believe all the States of the North, except
Ohio and lowa, are represented in McClel
lan's grand army. It will be an achieve
ment by the troops of the Union for the
glory and perpetuity of the Union.
jsgf The junction of Gen. Schcnck with
Mllroj at McDowell, Highland county, is an
important event, and will lead to a fight or an
evacuation by the rebels of their position in
the Shenandoah Mountains. The fight, which
immediately ensued after the junction was
effected, is a foretaste of what they may ex
pect under such irrepressible leaders. They
muri get out of the way, as our forces intend
going et raight forward to Staunton. McDow
ell postcfficc is on the road, about twelve
miles south of Monteroy, and;the rebels will
cot be allowed to Mock the way any longer.
ysg* Flag Officer Foote passed Evansville,
Ind.,? on Saturday, en route for Cincinnati
and Cleveland, a passenger by the DeSoto,
the steamer which he captured from the rebels.
He expressed his confident belief that Capt.
I>avis, bis successor in command, would have
Fort Pillow in three days.
Jeff Davis’s runaway coachman says
the arch rebel is very unpopular inßichmond,
and Mrs. Davis complains very bitterly that
none of the citizens call on her, except the
few connected with the Government. After
leading them to believe that he could do so
much for them, he has done bo little that they
now see in him only a grave deceiver.
On Sunday week Gen. McDowell threw
ft pontoon bridge across the Rappahannock,in
eight hours, and crossed his array upon it,
only, it was with great difficulty the horses
were persuaded to believe it was entirely safe.
The barns and outbuildings of John
Price, in Libertyville, near Waukegan, JHL,
was burned last Saturday night week, with
Us entire contents. Loss $3,500.
Tbe Accidentto Got. Morton’a Special
Train—Hon. miles J. Fletcher In
stantly Killed.
A special dispatch from Evansville, led., to
the Cincinnati Gazette, says:
Gov. Morton received reliable intelligence
on Friday from one of Ms agents at Pittsburg
Landing, that there were a large number of
Indianiaus quite rick at that place, and the
number continually increasing. He immedi
ately resolved to leave for that place to make
arrangements for their care and comfort until
he could have them removed. He took a large
eupply of medicines, and thirty-five large hos
pital tents. Adjutant General Noble, Brigade
Surgeon Dr. Babb, and Professor Miles J.
Fletcher, Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, accompanied the Governor.
At Terre Haute the party took a special
train on the Evans-vile and Crawfordsville
Railroad for Evansville, at which point they
expected to take a boat for Pittsburg. As
the train was passing the station at Sullivan,
twenty-six miles below Terre Haute, the en
gine came in contact with a box car on the
main track. A large stock car, which had
been Jefl standing on the ride track, a safe
distance from the main track, and, as usual,
left perfectly safe at ten o’clock, had been
pushed up tbe switch until the forward
trucks ran off the side track rails, over sev
eral cross ties, leaving one track on, the other
off The engineer did not discover the car
until too late to prevent the accident.
The engine struck the car, smashing it up
completely and throwing it off the main
track, but barely sufficient for the engine aad
cars to puss. Professor Miles J. Fletcher, one
of Governor Morion’s party, who was par
tially asleep on a seat next to the Governor,
awoke ul the shock, and raised the window
and had just put his bead out a few inches at
the moment the car In which they were in pass
ed the disabled stock car, which was so close
as to take the top off Prof. Fletcher’s head,
•crushing it in ana killing him instantly. The
Governor raised him up but he only gasped
twice and expired- A portion of his skull
was found some twenty yards from the spot,
and the car inside and out covered with the
blood aad brains of the lamented Fletcher.
His body lias been sent back to Indiana by
special train. This was, beyond a donbt, a
most outrageous attempt upon the life of our
noble Governor and his party. General Noble
end Professor Fletcher intended to accompa
ny the Governor on his mission to the sol
riiers in the field. No one rise was in any
way injured by the accident.
The damage’ to the locomotive was consid
erable. The Government train arrived here
■at 4 o’clock.

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati -Gazette,
from Evansville, says;
The' Lancaster, from Pittsburg Lauding
one o’clock yesterday (Friday)
arrived here at seven o’clock this even
ing. She lias two hundred sick on board,
cri” route for Cincinnati. There were still
1,500 sick at Pittsburg Landing, and
the Telegraph No. 8 would take nearly
half of them'and start for this place
points above this evening. The Ohio steamer
Tycoon expected to leave with rick to-morrow
(Sunday) evening. The Indiana steamer Cap
ftolafaad no load when the Lancaster left; but
she is expected to load and reach Evansville
by Monday morning with sick ludlaniaas.
Capt- Frisbe of the Lancaster, reports as fol
lows. Friday morning, at 4a. m., Gen. Hal
leck made a rcconaoisance with 10,000 strong
to within about a mile or lees of Corinth. He
found the enemy strongly intrenched and for
tified, drawn upon in a line of battle ready to
receive them. Gen. Halleck’s force was drawn,
back one mile with what loss my informant
had not been able to Itara. Oar army had
advanced two miles farther, and when the
Lancaster left a battle was inevitable—could
not bo postponed longer than the morning.
Everything was in perfect order and In read
iness for a fight.
The Lancaster met the steamer Imperial,
with General Sigel and stall; accompanied by
transports with troops, (but what number is
not known,) cn route for Pittsburg Landing,
and would arrive there this morning. This
statement was corroborated by all the officers
on board, and may be considered reliable.

VOLUME XV.
BATTLE OF WEST TNT.
Splendid Victory of Gen. Frank
lin’s Division.
20,000 Against 30,000;
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.]
Eeick House Ponrr, i
Neae West Poikt, Va,, Alay 7,1862. j
With my eyes fall of burnt powder and my
cars filled with the ringing of musketry and
the screeching of bomb shells, I sit down to
endeavor to give you an account of a fight
that has raged here since ten o’clock this
morning, which Is still continuing, althoughl
just now heard the cry that the rebels were
retreating.
-The first of this division of the Grand Army
of the Potomac arrived here yesterday atter
noon, under command of Gen. Franklin, and
by dark most of the troops were landed on a
beautiful plain, which is surrounded on three
sides by dense woods and on the fourth by the
river, on the south side of the Famunkey
river, and about half a mile southward
from West Point. The reason why we
landed here is obvious. Had we landed
on the other side of the river—West-
Point—where it was at first intended we
should land, we should then have had a con
siderable stream of water between us and the
rebels, and would have bad considerable trou
ble to reach them, as all thebridges have been
destroyed. Our gunboats have taken undis
puted possession of the point, the rebels hav
ing disappeared at the appearance of our
forces, and the American flag of our Union
now floats from one of the most prominent
buildings in the village. I have yet to see a
white man among the original inhabitants of
this place.
Immediately on the lauding of our forces
from the transports, pickets were thrown out
to the edges of the surrounding wood, and
our tents were pitched on the banks of the
river, and up to that time not one of
the chivalric sons of the sunny South
had made his Appearance, and our men
became anxious to know why they had
been brought to a country where there was no
foe. About dmk a part of the division of
Gen. Sedgwick, under the command of Gen.
Dana, arrived in transports from Yorktown
and remained in the centre of the river, while
some of our light draft gunboats took a trip
up the rivers ramunkey and Mataponey to
capture a portion of the rebel mosquito fleet,
which were brought into use for carrying our
men from the transports to the shore, as the
river here is too shallow for vessels drawing
over six feet of water.
During the night some of the rebel pickets
made a sortie on one of our advanced videttes
and shot him through the heart. The news
soon spread through the camp, and by day
light this morning the plain, which takes in
about.a thousand acres of ground, running
southwest from the York river, presented a
scene such as I have never before wit
nessed, Long lines of men extended from
left to right across the center of the field, and
squads of skirmishers stood marking, in dim
outline, their forms against the heavy woods
and underbrush,'which presents an unbroken
front to us on every side except that bounded
by the, river. Here the men stood for some
time, ready to march at a moment’s notice,but
no foe appeared, and the men were permitted
to return to their camps for the purpose of
getting their breakfast, and, perhaps, some
sleep. A strong picket, composed of the
New York Thirty-second, Ninety-fifth and
Ninety-sixth Pennsylvania troops, were left
at the edges of the woods to keep a sharp
lookout for the enemy, who were now be
lieved to be in close proximity to our lines. -
About this time one of our gunboats dis
covered a regiment or two of the enemy on
the west side of the river, who dispersed in
great confusion after having received some
half dozen of our heavy shells in their midst
This was communicated to General Slocum,
who immediately made strenuous efforts to
get the brigade of General Dana on shore, that
we might be able to give the enemy a warm
reception should he make his appearance.
General Dana was indefatigable in his labors
to get the troops off the transports, and
through his cxeitions most of the meu and
horses were off the boats by nine o’clock,and
preparations were being made to breakfast the
men of this brigade, when the order was given
for the Sixteenth, Thirty-first and Tnirty
second New York, and the Ninety-fifth and
Ninty-sixth Pennsylvania regiments to advance
Into the woods and drive on some of the rebel
scouts who were tiring occasional shots at our
pickets, and were supposed to be strongly sup
¥orted by a force concealed in the woods,
his supposition proved correct, for no sooner
had our men made an advance into the woods
than they were received with a volley of
musketry from the rebels who were hidden in
the dense undergrowth. Our men pressed
on, and gave them a volley, after which tho
enemy retreated further into tho woods, with
the Thirty-second New York close at their
heels; but they were too swift-footed for our
boys—being more protected—and they soon
left the Thirty-second struggling in the mud.
"While this scene had been gomg on on the
right centre, another was transpiring on the
centre where the Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania
regiment had entered the woods. In a few
minutes after they entered they found them
selves in a dense swamp, and in their strug
gles to get across, became separated from
each other. One of the companies managed
to get to the other side, and was climb
ing the bank on the opposite side,
when they descried a party of soldiers ly
ing in ambush. “Who cornea there?” cried
the party In ambush. “ Friends,” was the
answer. “What are von?” was the next in
terrogation. “A company of the Ninety-fifth
Pennsylvanians.” No sooner was thin answer
returned than the party, whom the Captain
had mistaken for some of Lis own regiment,
opened a terrible fire upon our men, who re
turned the fire and then returned to our re
serves. In this affair Captain Beatcas, of
Company B. was shot through the shoulder,
but not dangerously wounded, and one or two
privates, whose names I am as yet unable to
learn, wcrekilled and carried off the field by
their friends, who, before they quit the
ground, revenged the fall of their brave
comrades by giving the enemy a few well di
rected volleys.
But now the action became more general
throughout the lines, and from cverv quarter
of the woods came the sharp crack of musket
ry. I tried for a time to bnnbiqultons, but
alter traveling from one point to another some
fifty times, for the pnrposeof seeing how mat
ters were going, I took my stand on the right
and calmly awaited the co'ming events. The
sharp reports came nearer and nearer, and at
length a ball lodged in a tree at my side."
I was about to move from my dangerous
quarters when my attention was attracted to
tnat portion of the woods where the Thirty
first and Thirty-second New York State Mili
tia had entered. Four men were carrying the
body of a man, which, upon inquiry, I under
stood to be that of Capt Young, of Company
G, of tbe Thirty-second regiment, who was
shot in the throat, and died Instantly. The
fight had now been going on for three hours
here without intermission, and a number of
men were killed and wounded. At this iunc
tore onr men were withdrawn from the wood,
where they were evidently getting the worst
of it, and the Second United Stales Artillery,
under Capt Arnold, was ordered into position
on the ri°ht, and Cant. Porter’s First Massa
chusetts battery took-ap a position upon the
left, and in a fdw minutes the shell were flying
through the air at the rate of about ten a min
ute. This soon compelled the rebels to make
a move more on onr left, where the shells flew
less thick than upon the grouod they were
then occupying. But there evidently is no
rest for tbe wicked; for no sooner had the
rebels moved their forces upon onr left, than
onr gunboats, which up to that time had been
unable to have a hand in the affair, opened
their batteries upon the foe with so much
effect that, when I commenced to write, they
had completely driven the enemy out of eight
and hearing.
As soon as the guns of Capt Porter com
menced to fire among them, accompanied by
those from the river, the rebels undertook to
move one of their batteries -which they had
got into position. The New Jersev regiment
received orders to charge upon this battery,
and at it they went, with cheers that made
the very forests ring; but the rebels were
sgain 100 fleet-footed. Before the Jersey
boys got through the woods, tbe enemy had
made tall travelling, and got out of sight In
the words.
The gunboats are etm throwing shell into
the woods, to keep the enemy from erecting
batteries. "Wc expect to have an attack or
make an advance to-night. We have no fear
of the result The rebel army now in front
of ns, I have Just learned, Is under the com
mand of Gen. Robert Lee.

THE LATEST NEWS
BY TKLE6BAPH.
FROM CAIRO AND BELOW.
Report of the Naval Engagement
near Fort Pillow,
Another Fight on Saturday.
THE RECONNOISSANCE TOWARD
CORINTH.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Cazeo, May 13,1863—n00n.
There is nothing from the fleet or from
Pittsburg at this hour. The impression
seems to prevail that the nest arrival from
below will bring the intelligence of the sur
render of Fort Pillow.
S o’clock p. m. —The Meteor has just arrived
from Pittsburg with intelligence to yesterday
afternoon. At five o'clock the status ofafluirs
there remains as heretofore. Skirmishings
were in progress which, between smaller bod-
ies, would be dignified as battles, with losses
as yet unascertained on either side.
We arc without our usual correspondence,
as newspaper reports are not allowed to leave
for the present.
6 o'clock j). m, —Up to this hour, no intelli
gence additional to that telegraphed yesterday
has been received from the flotilla. This
noon’s receipt of news would scemto indicate
that matters are coming to & head at the fort.
It is expected that the nest news will be the
occupation of the bluffs and the evacuation of
Fort Pillow.
Nothing additional from Pittsburg Land
ing.
8 o'clock, p. in.—The {Skylark has just ar
rived at the levee with wild rumors in relation
to the great naval battle on Saturday morning,
telegraphic mention of which is forbidden.
When the Skylark left, furious canonnading
was heard in the direction of the fort, which
could plainly be distinguished till after the
steamer passed Tiptonville. I shall awrit
with considerable anxiety the report by the
boat to-morrow. r
Latest —lo o'clock p. m. —A wild rumor was
in circulation to-night, in which our losses in
the great naval fight at Fort Pillow arc enor
mously magnified. On inquiry at headquarters
I find that they are entirely without founda
tion, and that the report telegraphed ycstcr
terday is substantially true.
Caiso, May 11,1862—10 p. m.
(This dispatch should have been received in
time for yesterday's TararKE but was elbowed
out at the telegraph office at Cairo.—Eds. Tats.]
Yesterday was signalized by one oi the
most brilliant gunboat actions fought since
the war began. Friday lastaboutfouro’clock
in the afternoon, a flag of truce conveying
four of the surgeons taken at the battle of
Belmont, who had been exchanged for Con
federate prisoners of equal rank, came steam
ing round Craighead Point. The Gordon
Grant was the steamer used, the transport
stolen from Biddle, Coleman & Co., of Pitts
burg, at the inception of the rebellion. This
was evidently made to obtain a knowledge of
onr position. Saturday morning about four
o’clock our tug-boat dropped a mortar down
to the Point, where it has for some weeks
past, every morning, been located, and an
hour after it howled its usual good morning to
the rebels.
Capt. Davis, now in command since the re
tirement of Commodore Foote, ordered the
Cincinnati, Capt. Stembel, to lay alongside of
the point Also, at 6 o’clock, while it was
scarcely light, on account of the humidity -of
the atmosphere, one of the rebel gunboats,
thought by my informant to be the Louisiana,
carrying two heavy guns amidships, came cau
tiously around the Point, hugging the shore bo
closely that she was unseen by those on board.
The Cincinnati and two other boats speedily
followed,, and shortly after, four more. The
Louisiana (rebel) came within point blank
range of the Cincinnati before she was discov
ered. The latter immediately cast loose from
the shore and moved into the stream, where
she opened a broadside, when the rebel, in
stead of replying, turned her prow towards
the Cincinnati and ran into her with great
force, striking her twice amidships on her
starboard side, with tremendous force and
injuring her very materially. A shot was fired
from a boat below, at her rudder, which fell
short of the mark and did no great damage.
The Cincinnati poured in her most terrible
broadsides. As the rebel Ram came up with
the evident intent of causing her to sink, she
was pierced through and through by the Cin
cinnati’s shot. Unassisted, she held the rebel
fleet at bay for about fifteen minutes, when
one of our gunboats came to her assistance
and others were preparing to do so. Seeing
this the rebels held off and fought at longer
range.
The Cincinnati, at the time the Ram run in
to her, and while the attempt was made to
board her, threw hot water from her boilers
and scalded tbe rebels terribly.
After continuing the battle for an hour or
more, the rebels drew off under cover of the
smoke, which was so dense that it could al
most be cleft with a knife. The enemy’s boats
were terribly cut up. Two were blown np
and one sunk. Subsequently three Confeder
ate gunboats made a spirited dash at the Ben
top, but got a broadside pains, which
sent them kiting backwards as if the evil one
was after them.
Capt Stembel was badly wounded in the
neck; As the enemy approached the Captain
could not resist the opportunity to shoot the
pilot. His comrade seeing him foil, retaliated
with the effect above stated. The first waiter
of the Cincinnati was wounded in the
arm, and two or three others. There were no
other carnalities so far as lam informed. The
enemy’s loss is not ascertained, but they must
have suffered terribly.
The Bam has proved itself no match forthe
terribly destructive hail of onrgunfcoats. Capt.
Hcllina was on board of one of tbe rebel gun
boats, and was recognized by one of the offi
cers of the Cincinnati, who knew him when
he was' fighting: the battles of an united
country. •
The Bam, when she struck the Cincinnati,
attempted to throw boiling water upon onr
boya, but the. pipe burst, and that trick was
foiled. The Cincinnati returned the compli
ment with interest.
The eteamerCltyof Altonanivedfrom Pitts*
burg this evening, -with 500 sick of Illinois
regiments. She goes to St Loots.
The body of Major ApuUngton, formerly of
Polo, Ogle county, who was-shot through the
head, near Corinth, on Thursday last, arrived
here this evening.
An important reconnoissance was made from
the village of Farmington on Thursday last,
consisting of Gen. Stanley’s and Gen. Paine’s
divisions, with a section of artillery. General
Hamilton’s division remained behind as a re*
serve. Our forces advanced steadily. Skir
mishers were thrown ont and pickets driven in.
At ten o’clock we reached a low strip of
land two miles this side of Corinth. This was
formerly bridged, but the rebels had destroyed
it to prevent or delay our approach. Fortius
reason our artillery could not be passed,' and
it waa.declded to cross the swamp *and attack
the enemy, who were posted in considerable
force on the other aide, with cavalry and in
fantry. This was done, and after infinite diffi
culty our troops passed through. They had
hardly done this when a rebel battery opened
with grape canister. Our troops replied.
The enemy were plainly in sight, apparently
six thousand strong. . As the enemy
had n other support, far
■ours, and as it was . not our policy, to
bring on a . general engagement, ; our
forces, retreated. The main object oft the
reconnoisaxtcc has determined the fact‘that
the enemy still hold Corinthl This rotonnoi
tering force fell back this side of Farmington,
and encamped for the night. Friday morning
they .were surprised and attacked by a force
Of the enemy, estimated • between 15,000 and
20,000. ThW was so 'suddenly done as
the 43d and 51st Uliailt were thrown out as
skirmishers, the enemy’s force outflanked
them so completely that they were compelled
to retire precipitately, leaving baggage, knap*

is supposed to exceed seventy, killed and

GEN. POPE’S OFFICIAL REPORT.
Pittsburg Landekg, May IL—The follow
ing is just received at headquarters:
Amt or the Mississippi, near Pabninoton, I
May 9th—sp. H. J
To MajorGencral HaTleck;
The enemy, 30,000 strong, drove in our plck
ets’beyond Farmington, and advanced against
the brigade occupying the further side of the
creek which runs m front of my camp. The
brigade held it for five hours, until, finding
themselves pressed in front, and oh the flank,
and that I could not sustain them
without passing the creek with my
whole force, which would have been con
trary to your orders, and would have drawn on
a general engagement, I withdrew to this side
in good order. The conduct of the troops
was excellent, and the withdrawal was made
by them very reluctantly. The enemy made
a demonstration to cross, but abandoned the
movement.
Our loss is considerable, though I cannot
yet tell how great. The enemy being much
exercised, suffered very severely, the enemy’s
batteries being completely disabled, and his in
fantry line driven back several times by com
mand, eager for an advance.
(Signed) John Pope, Major General.
Farmington is five miles northeast of Corinth.
The only forces engaged were Plummer’s and
Palmer’s Brigades.
The weather is warm and pleasant. All quiet

FROM WASHINGTON.
[Special Dispatch to tbe Chicago Tribune.]
Washington, May 13,1862.
The nephew of Ex-Governor Barbour of
Virginia, has been appointed Chief Clerk in
the Inspection office of the Fostoffi.cc Depart
ment, in place of J. F. Trott, who has held
the position twenty years. Hr. Trott is low
ered to a sixteen hundred dollar clerkship.
This is considered to be the beginning of the
work of restoring the “ F. F. V’s.”
The uniform testimony of all correspond
ents is that Gen. McClellan did not arrive till
the Williamsburg battle was over, and that he
gave no orders except sending reinforcements
to Gen. Hancock too late for service, which
Gen. Keyes had requested of Gen. Sumner
hours before. Gen. Sumner was sent to the
rear for bad conduct. Gen. Hooker’s division
bore the brunt of the fighting and of the loss.
The Senate has extended the time in which
to exchange the ratifications of the treaty be

A prayer meeting for the success of the
rebel army, is announced to be held this week
in Fredericksburg, Va.
The President and Secretaries Stanton and
Chase have returned from Fortress Monroe.
Seward and Welles soon go—probably .to-mor

A largo number of loyal blacks arrived at
Fredericksburg direct from Richmond, to-day.
They represent the rebel force increasing in
front of McDowell, and that the panic is in
creasing in the rebel capital.
There was considerable picket firing last
night at Fredericksburg, but no casualties are
reported. Prayers for peace were substituted
for those for “ Jeff Davis” in the Fredericks
burg Episcopal churches yesterday.
Bonfires were lighted for the news from
Norfolk, last night.
Garrett Davis was brought up with a round
turn, this morning. In the course of a dis
cussion upon a motion to adjourn on
the second day of June, he said Congress
had passed acts during this session which are
unconstitutional, iniquitous and unwise, and
which will be resisted by the whole white
population of Kentucky, and such as he
would counsel his people to resist by every
mode of resistance they could devise. Davis
afterwards denied that he used these words;
but they were taken down by the Globe re
porter. • Mr. Wilson of Mass, raised the point
of order that the language was treasonable,
and gave Davis a good roasting, apparently
much to the enjoyment of the Senate.
In a subsequent speech Davis explained
his ’ position to mean that every citizen
could decide as to the constitutionality of
laws to resist them, if he believes them un
constitutional, till the question has been de
cided by the Supreme Court, taking the re
sponsibility of their action. Mr. Howard
named the point that in a previous speech
Davis bad predicted and ever advised mutiny
in the army In the contingency of the passage
of the confiscation bilL Mr. Davis denied that
be meant more than that if the question was
referred to the armies they would vote “ No.”
Finally, Mr. Fessenden, in his flioet skillful
manner, finished Davis, who is too thick
skinned to perceive what was done to him.
Dan. Sickles was confirmed to-day as Briga
dier General by one majority. It was not a
partisan vote.
A bill was reported into the House to-day,
appropriating $75,000 to purchase Douglas
Hospital, Minnesota Row.
Mr. Davis introduced a bill fixing the Tues
day after the first Monday in November for
Congressional elections in all the States, be
ginning this year.
Messrs. Kellogg and Sheffield voted against
their “conservative party,” and for Mr.
Arnold’s bill excluding slavery from the Ter

REBELS.
Proclamation by Gen. Wool.
First Order of General Viele, Military
Governor of the Two Cities.
Baltimop-E, May 13.— The Old Point boat
has arrived, and brings the following:
Norfolk, May 10—6 p. m. —Gen. Wool his
just entered the city in company with Mayor
W. N. Lamb and a committee of the city gov
ernment. The last ot the rebel troops left
this morning, and the city was left in the care
of the Mayor as the representative of the civ
il power. On the approach of our troops the
Mayor went with a nag of truce to the city
limits, and an arrangement was soon made be
tween the [Mayor and Gen, Wool that the city
should be given up on the promise of General
Wool that private property should be respect
ed during the march on Norfolk.
Three regimental cavalry camps were found
deserted apparently a day or two since. Gen.
Weber’s regiment, the New York 20th, was
advanced on landing to reconnoiter. Some
six miles from the beach, the Half Way House,
so-called, they found.a place which had beeu
prepared for a battle-field. Trees and bushes
had beeu felled and rifle-pits built, and early
in the morning, as wa£ ascertained, several
guns were placed in position. At this point
some recruits of the 41st Virginia regiment
were captured. They reported Sewall’s Point
abandoned on the preceding night by four
companies, which had garrisoned the place
for some weeks past., A negro was also cap
tured at this place, who stated that it was the
intention of the enemy to destroy the bridge
over Tanner’s Creek and then evacuate Nor
folk.
Part of Mas Weber’s regiment -was pushed
forward on the road to the bridge, and the
enemy was found at noon posted on the oppo
site side of Tanner’s Creek with three guns.
The bridge had been set on fire, and was still
burning at that time. Some six or eight
shots, however, were fired without effect, and
our men, being beyond musket range, did not
reply. The creek., being about a quarter of a
mile wide, our force was withdrawn, and
started on another road considerably longer,
and reported to be-defended by a strong bat
tery. Not the slightest opposition was made,
however, to our advance, and the fortiQca
lions, which were a mile and a half from Nor
folk, were found to have been evacuated after
spiking the guns,- They were extensive
works and finely constructed.
They arrived at Norfolk after a tiresome
march at 5 o’clock, without firing a gun, and
found the whole rebel force gone, the last
leaving this morning.
Nayor Lamb, with a committee of the city
government authorized for the purpose, met
Gen. Wool with a flag of trace at the city lim
its, and after a brief consultation the city was
surrendered to the United States forces.
Gen. Wool then proceeded to the City Hail
with the Mayor, lollowed by a large crowd,
where he issued the following paoelamation:
Headquarters DEPABTHortorViBGEXU, I
Nobfolf, May 10.1502. f
The city of Norfolk having been surrender
ed to the Government of the United State,
militaiy possession ©f the same is taken, in
behalf of the National Government by Major
General John E. Wool. Brigadier General
Viele is appointed Military Governor for the
time being. He will see that all citizens are
carefully protected in all their rights and civil
privileges, taking the utmost care to preserve
order, to see that no soldiers be permitted to
enter the city except by his order or by the
written permission of the commanding officer
of bis brigade or regiment; or he will punish
summarily any American soldiers who shall
trespass upon the rights of any of the inhab
itants. (Signed) Jou>- E. Wool,
Major General.
Gen. Viele immediately appointed Mr. F. D.
Davis his Military Secretary. The very first
parties who entered the city were newspaper
correspondents. Gen. Wool returns to camp
outside the city, andprobably to Fortress Mon
roe to-night.
After the departure of Gen. Wool, several
thousand persons assembled near the City Hall
to hear a speech from Mayor Lamb. The Mayor
seemed to be very popular. He said in sub
stance that in his negotiations with General
Wool he had secured a pledge for the protec
tion of'private property and the safe contin
uance of all private business.
The people are in a state of great excite
ment, and a strong police force is out to
night It is hoped no violence will be com
mitted, and confidence in the Government
will doubtless soon be established.
Norfolk, Sunday morning.—The Navy
yard has been completely- destroyed, together
with a very large number of steamboats and
other vessels.
Numerous Union flags are flying in Ports
mouth. The place is occupied by the 16th
Massachusettss regiment.
Gen. Vide has established his headquarters
in the Custom House, formerly occupied by
Gen. Huger. The National flag was raised for
the first time this morning. It was saluted by
tbe guard and enthusiastically cheered. The
Monitor and Naugatuck have Just now arrived.
A number of other vessels from the fleet were
also coming up. The night passed quietly.
At present everything is perfectly quiet and
order is entirely restored. All the public
property is occupied.
Gen. Wool and Com. Goldsborough have
just arrived on the Baltimore. The policy of
the authorities here is to allow everything to
f) on with as little interruption as possible,
general feeling of confidence seems to pre
vail. and a Union sentiment begins to show
Itselfi:
Fifty-two guns were found this morning at
Craney Island by Capt Chase.
The foUowiog proclamation was issued in
Norfolk on Monday morning;
Norfolk, May 10,1862. —The occupancy of
the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth Is for
the protection of the public property and the
maintenance of the public laws of the United
Slates. Private associations and domestic
quiet will not be disturbed, but violations of
order and disrespect to the Government will
be followed by the immediate arrest of the
offenders. Those who have left their homes
in anticipation of acts of vandalism, may be
assured that the Government allows no man
the honor of serving in its armies who forgets
the duties of-a citizen in discharging those of
a soldier, and that no individual rights will be
interfered with. The sale of liquor is pro
hibited. [Signed.]

New Tore, May 12. —Tne Times has the
following correspondence:
Fortress Monroe, Mat 11.—At 4 o’clock
this morning a bright light was observed
from Fortress Monroe In the direction of
Craney Island. Precisely at half-past four on
explosion took place which made the earth
and water tremble for miles around. In the
midst of the bright flame which shoot up in
the distance, the timber and iron of a steam
er could be seen flying through the air. No
doubt was entertained that the Merrimad had
ceased to exist. Flag officer Goldsboro, on
receiving this report, ordered two armed
naval tugs, the Zouave and Dragon, to
proceed towards Craney Island on a
. rccozmolsance and ascertain the truth of the
rumor. Immediately after they had turned
the point, the Monitor and E. A. Stevens
steamed up In the same direction, followed
by the San Jacinto, Susquehanna, Mt. Vernon,
Seminole and Dacotah. In tbe meantime the
tug boats were seen coming on towards the
Fortress at .full speed, when nearing the
wharf the radiant countenance of Capt. Case,
of the Minnesota, gave assurance that the
news they brought was of a most gratifying
character. The report was true, AD the earth
works at Craney Island appeared to be aban
doned, though the rebel flag was still flying.
Lieut Eldridge, from the Dragon landed with
an armed crew, took down the rebel flag, and
substituted the Stare and Stripes amid hearty
cheeribg by the crew. Capt Case immediate
ly reported the fact to the President and Sec
retary pf War, who received the confirmation
of tbe picket-boats with great satisfaction.
At the request of the President, Capt. Case
Immediately proceeded to Craney Island to
ascertain If the works were evacuated, in com
pany with the fleetwhich was ihenadvanclng.
As we neared Crany Island we found tbia im
mense fortress apparently abandoned, though
three rebel flags were floating from very tail
staffs in different parts of the work.
Capt. Case was the first loyal man that
pressed his foot on the soil of this treasonable
stronghold, and the old fiag was soon given to
the breeze. The forts on the island are in
four or five separate sections. They are con
structed with the best engineering skill, and
most admirable workmanship. The torts were
left in excellent condition, as were also the*
extensive barracks, which had accommodated'
during the winter a garrison cf over 2,000
men. Forty heavy gnus were mounted in
ferent points ofthe works. On the main part
of the island the works commanded the ap
proaches and the channel of the river, i The
whole number of guns mounted was 89, of
which two were Parrott’s and a number of
rifled Duhlgrcns, __ There were about six guns
In the works which had not been mounted.
After spending an hour on the island we [pro
ceeded to Norfolk. .
From men found on the Island we ascer-*
foiriMi that the Merrimae had laid during i Sat
urday at & point nearly a mile below the head 7
.of the Island-,'.During the night she hod been •
brought back and ran ashore. ■ Her entire offl-;

A TRIP TO NORFOLK.
Island to Norfolk, there arc not less than six
heavy earthworks, mounting: in aU 69 cannon,
all of which are still in position. The amount
of powder found in the magazines is esti
mated at 5,000 pounds, and the fixed amnia-,
nltion'taken can be enumerated by the cargo.
We landed at the wharf and took a stroll
through Norfolk. It being Sunday, of coarse
all places of business were closed, and the
city presented a most quiet aspect. The
wharves were crowded with blacks, male and
female, and a goodly number of white work
ing people, with their wives and children,
were strolling about. Soldiers were stationed
on the wharves, and pickets thronged the city,
while the flag of the Union floated
triumphantly from the cupola of the Cua-om
House. The houses in the city were general
ly closed, especially those of the wealthiest
classes. The secessionists talked boldly of
the Southern Confederacy, declaring their in
tention to receive nothing hnt Confederate
money, and saying they would have nothing
to do with the. Lincoln shinplasters. They
were fully confident that in 20 days Norfolk
would be repossessed and the Yankees driven
out.
The President laid off in the steamer Balti
more about an hour in front of the city and
then steamed hack to the Fortress. Secre
tary Chasereturned with him, while Secretary
Stanton remained till a late hour, in consulta
tion with the military Governors, Generals

True to the spirit of secession, the Are, as
anticipated, on Saturday, and which threw a
broad red glare across the heavens on Satur
day night .proceeded from the destruction of
the Navy Yard. This was done by order of
the rebel commandant. Scarcely anything is
left but black walls and chimneys. "Even tbe
immense dry dock was mined and damaged,
and it is said that the engine and pump be
longing to it was removed to Richmond.
FOUR DAYS LALER FROM EUROPE.
Steamship Etna at New Tort.
RUMORS OF EUROPEAN IN
TERVENTION.
New York, May 12.—The steamship Etna
arrived at 8 o’clock with dates from Queens
town of the Ist.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Serald writes that a strong feclitg is growing
up here in favor of inteirention in America.
The impression is so powerful as to cause un
. easiness among the Northern party in Paris.
It is believed that very serious overtures have
been made by the French Cabinet to Palmer
ston, with'a view to joint action topufc an end
to the war, which, according to official infor
mation received here, is as far from terminat
ing as ever.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily News
also gives a similar arrived both ftom
French and American sources, and says the
two Governments are giving serious consider
ation to the question of intervention in com
mon.
The London Times adopts as its own the re
marks of Mr. Gladstone on the
American question at Manchester. It
admits that the circumstances attend
ing the secession would be a sufficient
excuse for rashness. It was always ready to
make allowance for the Northerners If they
would only make some allowance for Eng
land’s position as a neutral power. It claims
that England has observed a most disinterest
ed and self-denying course, and concludes by
asserlingthat the real question rests entirely
on whether the heart of the South is set on
separation.
The New York correspondence of the Lon
don Times treats the battle of Pittsburg Land
ing as a drawn battle.
The screw steamer Hero cleared from Hull

THE HOUSTAIS DEPARTMENT.
General Fremont at Peteriburg-ln
Full Communication with all His
Forces.
[.Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette^
PsTEUsursc, Va., May 10.
Gen. Fremont is encamped here with a
strong body of troops, and is In full commu
nication with the forces throughout the De
partment.
Gen. Cox has had three sharp engagements
with the enemy, and driven them entirely out
of Greenbriar, Merdcr and Giles counties.
Four hundred guerrillas surprised a small
company, under Lieutenant Farriot, at Ar
noldsburg, twenty miles from Cairo, on the
Parkersburg branch of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, and compelled him to surrender.
They also took the town of Spencer. Gen.
Kelley was ordered forward from Cumberland ;
with reinforcements. In the meantime three
companies of Col. Harris’s 19th Virginia, and
one company of Capt. West’s Ist Virginia
Cavalry, routed the guerillas, killing many
and expecting to kill and capture the whole.
Gen. Milroy advanced to McDowell, and
engaged in skirmishing with Johnson on the
Bth, and found him in strong force. Move
ments consequent upon the evacuation of*
Yorktown enabled Johnson to send a large
force to assist Jackson. Gen. Fremont or
dered forward Gen. Schenck’s forces to the
relief of Milroy. They marched thirty-four
miles in one day, joined Milroy, and on the
right, while the enemy were attempting to
plant a battery on the mountain,so as to com
mand our position, four of our regiments eu
taged them and prevented the planting of the
attery. In this engagement we lost five
killed and seven wounded. The loss of the
enemy was much greater. The enemy ap
pearing on three sides in overwhelming num
bers, to prevent being flanked, Gen. Fremont
ordered ScheUck and Milroy to fall back to
Franklin, within supporting distance from this
column.
News has been received this evening that
they have arrived in the vicinity of Franklin,
where we will be prepared to meet any force
the enemy can bring.
New Creek, Va., Mayß.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad are trans
porting a large amount of stores for the Gov
ernment, over their road, from the West to
this place and to Harper’s Ferry. Both Fre
mont’s and Banks’s armies draw their supplies
from the West over this road. Supplies for
Banks’s Division are sent from Harper’s Ferry
by railroad to Winchester, and then sent down
the valley by wagon trains.
The railroad is strongly guarded at all dan
gerous points. The Sixth Virginia regiment,
which has been increased to 1,000 men, is dis
tributed all along from here to Grafton, and
on the Parkersburg and Wheeling branches.
Several hundred are stationed at Grafton, un
der Lieut. Col. John F. Hoy, of your eity. He
entered the service a year ago as Lieutenant
in the Guthrie Gray regiment, and has been
promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the Sixth
Virginia,
Parties from these troops stationed along
the railroad arc sent out in all directions
north and south of the railroad, and danger
ous parties are arrested. They have not been
very particluar either about taking prisoners.
When they have found genuine guerrillas,
they generally dispatch them forthwith, ana
