MciClellMes Army ne Union Troops Beyond Williamsburg— Our Gunboats al West Point—Reported Copia. e of Rebel Prisoners—A Bridge De stroyed. . BAIMMORE, MAY 6.—The special corres pondent of the American at Fortress Monroe says that General McClellan's advance is beyond Williamsburg, and that our gunboats are at West Point, having on their way captured or destroyed many rebel trans ports. A retort was also current of the capture of a large number of prisoners. A force had been landed at West Point, and destroyed a bridge on the Richmond and York river railroad. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The French war steamer Gassendi came down from Yorktown at five o'clock last evening, bringing the French Minister and also Captain Fox, the Assistant Secretary of war. We learn that up to ono o'clock the steamers with Gen. Franklin's division bad had not yet gene beyond Yorktown, but were waiting to hear from above. One of the gunboats which went up on Sunday morning, had returned, and reported that they found the river unobstructed, and that the gunboats had reached West Point, where a farce had been landed, and destroyed a bridge on the road to Richmond. Several rebel ttansports were overtaken going up the river. Some were run ashore, those on board escaping, and were burned. Others had been captured. The latest reports say that Gen. McClellan was with the advance of the army, and was supposed to be before Williamsburg, in which direction there bad been a brisk can nonading all day. Among the prisoners is the Chief of Engi neers on General Johnston's staff, who states that the whole rebel army at Yorktown amounted to 85,000 men. lie gives a most deplorable account of the • condition of the army, and says that they will be unable to make a stand any where this side of Richmond. the Columbia Spy The retreat commenced before daylight, on Saturday morning, and be doObts not that the advance was twenty miles distant at the time ' tbe last gun was fired from Yorktown. ' ' - • On Sunday morning General MitClellan signalled the five gunboats-lying below Yorktown the fact of the evacuation, with instructions to' pro* . id , on up the river to West Point, anirteullore all obstructions in their way... "' - - Quite a fleet of steamers and vessels, loaded with troops, were discovered in the distance, 'and a "ptirstiit was commenced, resulting in the capture of some of them, whilst others were run ashore and fired by those on board, who escaped to the - woods.— ft is said that by three o'clock in the after noon the gunboats had reached West Point, at the head of navigation, nearly thirty miles above Yorktown, frequently shelling the partios of the enemy that wore discover ed flying along the shore, and flanking that portion of the retreating army that were moving towards West Paint, to take the railroad to Richmond. Immedintly in the walto of the gunboats followed a long line of river steamers loaded with troops, carrying General Franklin'i division, with 15 000 to 20,000 men. These troops remelted Yorktown during the afternoon, and were stopped there to await inteligenco from the gunboats. It it proposed to land them at Yorktown if the reports of the gunboats are favorable.

The action id this vicinity was very severe at times. T,heloss in killed s and- wounded is not know, but it is supposed to inve'been considerable on both sides. . The enemy were repulsed at all points. -Gen. Peet's•brigade, stationed to Eke right of pen. Hooker's forces, soon after became engaged. Here the firin g was very heavy for about two hours, during which our troops handsomely repulsed the enemy in-making a charge. Our loss was about,thirty killed and serenty-foqr wounded.` A brilliant victory waE achieved, about five o'clock in tbe•afternoon, by Gen.. Alan: cock's brigade, assisted by Kennedy's and• Wheeler's batteries. They bad been order ed to the right to feel the strength of the enemy, and, if possible, turn his left wing. Here they were met by Gen. Earley's brig ade, consisting of the Fifth North Carolina and Twenty-fourth and Thirty-eighth Vir ginia regiments, with a:squadron of cavalry, who advanced in line of battle. Our troops, who were quickly prepared to receive them, opened a heavy fire on them, but the enemy steadily advanced to within 200 yards, when Gen. Hancock ordered a charge with the bayonet, which was execu ted wito the greatest courage. Tee enemy's line broke, and they became panic-stricken, and fled. They left upwards of eighty of their dead and forty wounded on the field. We also took nearly 200 prisoners. Our loss was 17 killed and about 40 wounded. The colonel and lieutenant colonel of the Fifth North Carolina Regiment were wound ed, and among the enemy's dead left on the field were the bodies of the lieutenant colo nel and major of the Twenty-fourth Virginia Regiment, together with several other offi cers. Their dead were buried by our troops, and their wounded cared fur. The conduct of Geo. Hancock and his brigade on this occasion has excited univer sal• admiration. A standard of colors be longing to the rebel cavalry engaged was captured, and is now on the way to Wash ington. When the news of Gen. Hancock's success became known, a shout went up from • the tens of thousands of Union troops that made the country resound for miles around. Gen. Hancock remained during the night in two of the works of the enemy. 110111 General McClellan and staff arrived on the field at fire o'clock, and immediately rode to the front, where his presence among the troops was joyfully hailed. lie imme diately assumed command in person. The rain has poured in torrents all day. The troops suffer much from exposure, but none complain. From information received from the pris- oners token the enemy will make a decisive stand at Williamsburg, reinforcements hav ing been arriving all day. General J. E. Johnston is in command of them.

Stanton, Secretary of War: 1 have the pleasure to annou nce the occu pation of this place as the result of the hard fought action of yesterday. The effect of Gen. Hancock's brilliant en gagement yesterday afternoon was to turn the left of their line of works. He was strongly reinforced, and the enemy abandon ed the entire position during the night, leay., ing all his sick and wounded in ourhands. His loss yesterday was very severe. We have some 300 uninjured prisoners . and about 400 wounded; their loss in killed is heavy. 1 have sent cavalry in. ursuit. The conduct of our men has been excel lent, with scarcely an exception. The enemy's works are very extensive and exceedingly strong, both in respect to their.position and the works themselves. Our loss was heavy in Gen. Hooker's divis ion, but very little in other parts of the field, Gets. Ilaueock's success was gained with a loss of not over twenty killed and wounded. The weather is good to day, but there is great difficulty in getting up food, cm ac count of the roods. Very few wagons have as yet come up. Am I uuthorized to follow the example of other Generals and direct the names of bat tles to be placed on the colors of regiments? We have other battles to fight before reaching Richmond. (Signed) G.

NEW YORK, May 7.—The steamer Colum bia, from Havana on 31 inbt, has arrived, bringing highly interesting particulars of the taking of New Orleans. The gunboat Daniel Smith arrived at Havana on the 30 ult.; from Fort Jackson on the 26th. The attack on the Rebel forts commenced on the 18th. On the 23rd Comm. Farragut in the flagship Hartford, with 13 other steamers, passed the forte, and Oen. Butler landed 4,000 men above. The Rebels lost eleven gunboats, including the famous Hollins' Turtle Manama. Our forces took 400' prisoners. We lost 150 men and our iunbont Verona was sunk. On'the 24th a flag of truce was sent to Commodore Porter by the enemy, asking conditions of surrender, to which Commo dore Porter replied that 'no conditions' would be granted. Our old flag waves over the Custom House at New Orleans. An American war steamer reports cap turing three Rebel steamers, and having eent them to Key West, also chased another into Behin Honda. (SECOND DESPATCII.) Twenty of our mortar boats and three gunboats were engaged against the forte, silencing them after six days' incessant fight ing. -The chains across the river were re moved by our gunboats. The Rebels sent fire rafts down the river, but they did but little damage. One set fire to the Hartford, but the flames were speed ily extinguished. The Verona and the Rebel iron-clad steamer Webster had a splendid engagement. The Webster ran into the Verona, sinking her, but before going down the Verona's crew heroically poured in a volley of eight guns so destructive and crushing that•both the Verona and Webster went down to gether! The arrangements for the surrender of the forts were to be made on the 27th, the day after the Daniel Smith left. . The Rebel Rem blannassas was sank by the steamship Mississippi. Our forces sent small boats to the fire rafts and towed them out of the way before they could eo any harm. The loss of the Rebels is unknown. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. NEW Yong, May 7.—On the 24th. the Flag Officer, in the midst of a terrific fire front the enemy, passed the forts and de stroyed eleven Confederate gunboats. The National gunboat Vernon blew up the enemy's gunboat Webster and then sunk herself. The chain across the river was destroyed by two of our gunboats. The enemy's killed and wounded is great.
