Ihe abolition of slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia, say the patent democra cy, is unconstitutional ? If Congress can not abolish slavery there, no legal power on earth can.

The allusion of Commodore Farragut to the firing on defenceless women | and children for saluting the old flag by the ! rebel soldiery would seem to indicate that a : reign of terror and blood must have accom panied the appearance of his fleet in the har- I bor. The demand made on the Mayor for \ the surrender of the city and the restoration ! of the Federal flag is responded to by the | Mayor in a strain of mingled earnestness and | misrepresentation. He first says that not one I of his constituents could be fuund base en -1 ough to pollute the " sacred emblem of their " aspirations," and then expresses the hope that the Commodore will not avail himself of •' the interference of such as have rendered " themselves odious and contemptible by " their dastardly desertion ot our cause in " the mighty struggle in which wo are en " gaged." lie does not deign to allude to the massacre of loyal women and children pressed on his attentien in the letter to which he replies. Gen. Lovell, after withdrawing his forces to Camp Moore, seventy eight miles above New Orleans, telegraphed to Richmond on Sunday that Forts Jackson and Philip, pass ed by our fleet, were still in rebel possession, and that though our vessels were at the city, we had not force enough to occupy it. There is no doubt that this deficiency was soon sup plied, however, byway of Pontcbartain, as the rebels themselves appear to have opened the way there for Gen. Butler's approach by evacuating all the forts on Lake Pontcbartain on the 25th ult., and burning all the gun boats they had there. Extracts from the rebel newspapers of Richmond, Norfolk, Petersburg and Atlanta, Ga., relative to the capture of New Orleans, express an almost universal opinion of sur j prise at the " disaster." The rebel journals appear to regard it as something mysterious, while they do not pretend to deny its truth. Some of them arc disposed to hold the Secre tary of the Navy to blame; others are in a fog as to the conduct of Gen. Lovell. They all admit that it was a disaster wholly unex pected, as they were "deluded" with the rep resentation that the city was securely defend ed : but they console themselves with the re flection that Gen. Lovell's am y is now free ' to co operate with Beauregard at Corinth, or at some other indefinite point with some oth er rebel force and drive " the vandals" out of the Southwest. The whole tone of the rebel press indicates that the occupation of ! New Orleans has completely taken them by surprise, and disheartened them, and thrown | them back upon a dismal course of argu- j ment and logic, by which they endeavor to ; make the best of it. T lie comments of the Rebel journals upon the condition of affairs in Yirginiaare hardly more hopeful. The Richmond Examiner says that large reinforcements have been sent by Gen. McClellan to Gc-u. McDowell, on the Rappahannock, and that a junction be'ween Gens. Banks and McDowell is imminent, in which event a fierce battle n.?rth of Richmond may be expected within a week. It says that the Rebel Government is hurrying up rein forcements in that direction, and urges a spee dy attack on our troops as the best means of protecting Richmond. By an arrival at Fortress Monroe froiu Newbern, North Carolina, we have official ac- ! counts from Cenera'. Burnsidc of the recent ; battle at Elizabeth City, which was a most '• brilliant affair, the enemy being driven back j to Norfolk, and our troops—under General j Reno—remaining sis hours in possession of I the field, 'lhey had positive instructions not ■ to proceed beyond the Canal locks, which they destroyed, the object being to test the enemy's strength in the rear of Norfolk. The enemy was entrenched, with batteries in pos ition on the edge of a woods, and they were driven from their position at the point of the bayonent with heavy loss. Colonel Hawkins was wounded in the arm and Adjutant Gads- ! den was killed. Our loss was one office killed and seven wounded ; non-commissioned offi cers, two killed and thirteen wounded ; and six privates killed and forty wounded. General Hunter we see it stated has com nienced organizing the contrabands into a j military force, to be armed, equipped and used for service in the swauipy region about tne Carolina coast during the summer. This is right. Ad the localities where the north ern troops will be expos te disease and death should be garrisoned by the colored troops. Iwo official reports of the commanders of Pennsylvania regiments engaged in late but ties have been made public. Colonel Scam baugh has forwarded to Governor Curtin an account of the noble part taken by his regi ment (the Seventy-seventh) in the battle of Shiloh. The regiment was thirty miles from the scene of conflict when the cannonading was first heard, but at once started off to lend its aid; and, after being en route for the en tire day after marching a distance of twen ty three miles—and after standing for eight tours in a drenching rain, it was finally ena bled to participate in the battle and victory of Monday. Its loss was but two or three mortally and sour five or six slightly woun ded. Colonel Bayard, of the First Pennsyl vania Cavalry, in his report to the Governor, of the brigade crossing the Rappahannock at I almouth, C a., states his loss to have been three men killed and nino wounded. Colonel Bayard adds, in concluding, "I think Bir you can trust this regiment." rJ h w rcb£l staaraer Isabel, now called the .

Headquarters OF THE ASHY I OF THE POTOMAC, May 4—lo A. M. This morning, at 5 o'clock, your correspon dent entered the enemy's works, which the | rear of their army deserted four hours be fore. Everything was found to be in utter confusion, as though they left in great haste. About seventy pieces of heavy artillery have been left in their works after having been I spiked, together with a large amount of am munition, medical stores, camp equipage, teDts, and private proper'y of their officers. A negro, who was left in the town, states that the rebels threw a large amount of ord nance stores into the river, to prevent its falling into our hands. I Several deserters hare succeeded in run i ning into our lines. One of them a very in telligent man, originally from New York, who has been connected with the rebel ord nance department ever since the works at Yorktown have been constructed, states that the rebels evacuated owing to the near ap j proaeh of our parallels, covering the im mense seige works of our men—that they i feared the success ot the Union gunboats in j the James and York rivers, bv means of which their communication with the outer | world would be cut off. The order was given to evacuate by Gen. j Johnson on Thursday, to commence the ful | lowing corning, which was accordingly done. Gen. Magruder isjsaid to have most strenuous ly opposed the measure, stating that if they ' could not whip the federals here, there was no other place in Virginia where they could —that he swore in the presence of his men, who vociferously cheered him, losing all con trol of himself. Gen. Robert E. Lee, rebel commander in chief, arrived at Yorktown on Wednesday, and minutely examined the works of Gener al McClellan, when he is supposed to have : recommended the abandonment of the works, I deeming them untenable. The deserters all agree in stating that their j troops were very much demoralized and dis I heartened when the order to evacuate was made public, as they all anticipated having !an engagement at that point. They also agree that the rebels had one hundred thou sand men on the peninsula, together with four hundred pieces of field artillery. From the best information received they have fallen back to Chickahominy creek, be yond Williamsburg, where it is expected they will make a stand. Immediately on the facts of the evacuation becoming known, the troops were ordered un- I der arms, and are now in motion from the j right and left wings of the army. A large force, under command of General Stoneman, consisting of cavalry, artillery and infantry, are in the advance, and will proba- j bly come up to the rear of the enemy before night if they remain near Williamsburg. The gunboats have passed above Yorktown ; and are now shelling the shore on their way up. Following them is a large steamer and a vessel loaded with troops, who will effect a landing. ! Magruder swore he was " not afraid of McClellan, if Lee was." and that if he could not successfully fight him there he could no where. Only one man was left in Yorktown, and he was a negro. Gen. Jameson and Col. Samuel Black were the first to enter the main works. The only j causalty that occurred was the killing of two J men and the wounding of three by the ex- j plosion of a concealed shell within the eno- j iny's works. The following are their names, i They belonged t<> Company A, 40th New York : Killed—George McFarland, Michael M'Dermott. Wounded-Sergeant Jas. Smith, Frederick Steick, and Lawrence Burns. The works are very extensive, and show that they were designed by scientific engi neers. WASHINGTON, M IY 5. The following has been received at the War Department.

HEADQUARTERS, ARMY POTOMAC, ] May 4th—7 P. M. } To Hon. E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War: Our cavalry and horse artillery came up with the enemy's rear guard it. their entrench ments about two miles this side of Williams burg. A brush fight ensued, just as my aid, Lieut. Smith's division of infantry arri ved on the ground, and I presumo carried his work through. I have not yet heard. The enemy's rear is strong, but I have force enough up there to answer all purposes. We have thus far seventy one heavy guns, large amounts of tents, ammunition, etc. All long the lines their works prove to have been most formidable, and I am now fully satisfied of the correctness of the course I have pursued. The success is brilliant, and you may rest assured that its effects will be of the greatest importance. There shall be no delay in following up the rebels. The rebels have been guilty of the most murderous and barbarous conduct in placing torpedoes within the abandoned works, near wells, ncarjsprings, near flag staffs, maga zines, telegraph offices, in carpet bags, barrels of flour, etc. Fortunately we have not lost many men in this manner, soma four or five killed aad per haps a dozen wounded. I shall make the pris oners remove them at their own peril. [Signed] GEO. B. M'GLELLAN, Major General. FORTRESS MONROE, May 1. Lion. Edwin M.

Sketch of Fort Macon. Fort Macon, which guarded and protected the town of Beaufort, was situated on & biuff on Bogue's Bank, one mile and three quar ters from the town. It commanded the en trance to the harbor, having a full sweep of fire over the main channel. Opposite the fort, at the entrance of the harbor, is Shack leford Bank, one mile and a half across. The fortification was of a hexagonal form, had two titrs of guns—one in casemated bomb proop, and the other en barbette. Its arma ment consisted of twenty thirty two pounders, thirty twenty four pounders, two eighteen pounders, three field pieces for flanking de fence, twelve flank howitzers, eight eight inch howitzers (light), eight eight inch how itzers (heavy), one thirteen inch mortar, three ten inch mortars, and two Coehorn mortars—making a total of eighty nine guns. The war garrison of the fort was three hun dred men. For heating shot there were large furnaces in the fort, and at the time of seiz ure there was a large quantity of powder in the magazine. The masonry and iron work were much out of repair when the fort was seized by the rebels, which was done by or der of Governor Ellis on the 2d of January, 1861. Much of the wood work, &c., was then in a state of decay. The piers of the wharf and the superstructure were much out of order, but it is reported that the acting Governor had placed all the forts of the State in a most efficient state of preparation for defence and resistance. Governor Pickens of South Carolina, imme diately after the seizure of Forts Macon and Caswell, sent, for their defence, some dozen ten inch columbiads, which were divided ac cording to the respective strength and neces sities of each. It is now in the hands of the L'nion forces, and the details of its capture will soon be made public. From Gen. Halleck's Army. PITTSBURG LANDING, May 2.—A general order was issued yesterday, transferring Maj or Gen. Thomas' division from the army of Ohio to the army of Tennessee, and Major Gen. Thomas takes command of the army formerly under Gen. Grant, of which the di vis:oris of Generals McClernand and Lew Wallace are to constitute the reserve, under command of Gen. McClernand. Major Gen. Grant will retain the command of his district, including the army corps of Tennessee ; but in the present movements he will act as second in command under the Ma jor General commanding the department. The burial parties report that between 2,- 500 and 3,000 rebels have been found dead on the field. CINCINNATI, May 2. —The Commercial has, from its correspondent with Gen. llalleck's army, the following official figures of our loss at the battle of Pittsburg Landing: Gen.

Interesting Letter front General Grant I'he Commercial publishes passages from a letter receiven from Gen. Grant in reply to a letter informing him of the nature of the crit icism of his management of the battle of Pitts burg Landing. Gen. Grant says: '* 1 will go on and do my duty to the very best of my abilty without praise, and do all 1 can to bring the war to a speedy close. lam not an aspirant for anything at the close of the war. There is one thing I feel very well assured of, and that is, that i have the confidence of every brave man in my command. Those who showed the white feather will do a 1 in their power to attract attention from themselves.— 1 had perhaps a dozen officers arrested for cowardice in the first day's fight. The men are necessarily my enemies. As to the talk about our being surprised, nothing could be more false. If the enemy had sent us word where and when they wouldattack weeouldn't have better prepared. " Skirmishing had been going on for two days between our reconnoitring pareies and the enemy's advance. I did not believe, how ever, that they intdnded to make a determin ed attack, but simply make a reconnoissance in force. My headquarters were at Savannah though I usualy spent the day at Pittsburg. Troops were constantly arriving to be assign ed to the different brigades and All were ordered to report at Savanah, ma king it necessary to keep an office and some one there. I was also looking for Buell to arrive, and it was important that I should have every arrangement completed for his transit to this side of the river." PITTSBURG LANDING, May 3. The following dispatch dated Dear Farm ington, has been received at headquarters: A reconnoisance sent toward Farmington found the enemy 4,500 strong, with four pie ces of artillery and some cavalry, occupying a strong position near the town. Our forces advanced at once to the assault, and after a sharp skirmish carried the position in fine style. The enemy left thirty dead on the field, with their tents and baggaget, our cav alry pursuing them. The whole affair was very handsome, our regiments charging the battery and their line of infantry at the double quick. The enemy fled in wild con fusion. Some regiments of cavalry sent through to lioonville took possession of the town, tore up the railroad track and destroy ed two bridges. We have a good many pris oners, but can't tell how many yet. Our loss is two killed and twelve wounded. JOHN POPE, Major General. Four Hundred Germans from a Louis iana Regiment Deserted in a body. CAIRO, May 4. Intelligence from the army before Corinth has been received to six o'clock last night. Gen. llalleck has removed his head quar ters twelve miles toward the front, and our advance is now within two miles from theeu emy's works. The entire advance is still I pressing onward ; and skirmishes between the advance and the rebels are of occur rence. The latter is making a slight show of resistance and falling back. On Thursday, four hundred Germans, from a Louisiana regiment, who had been sent cut from the rebel camp on guard duty, came in to our lines in a body, with white Sags on their guns, and gave themselves up as deser ters. Successful Movement of Genn<Tl Mitch ell. HUNTS vi LLE, ALA., via Louisville, May 1. To Hon• Edwin A. Stanton, Secretary of War: On yesterday the enemy having cut our wires and attacked during the night one of our brigades, I deemed it my duty to head in person the expedition against Bridgeport. I started by a train of cars in the morning, followed by two additional regiments of in fantry and two companies of cavalry. 1 found that our pickets had cng?iged the enemy's pickets four miles from Biidgeport, and alter a short engagement, in which we lost one man killed, drove them across a stream whose railway bridge I had burned. They had four regiments of infantry aDd two pieces of artil lery dragged by hand, and two companies of cavalry. At three P. M, we advanced to the burnt bridge and opened our fire upon the enemy's on the other side, thus producing the impres ■ sion that our advance would be by the rail way. This accomplished, the entire force was thrown across the country, about a mile | above, and put on the mad leading from Ste venson to Bridgeport. The whole column now advanced at a very rapid pace. Our ! cavalry scouts attacked those of the enemy and forced them from the Bridgeport road.— We thus succeeded in making a complete sur prise, deliberately forming our lino of battle on the crest of a wooded hill within five hun dred yards of works constructed to defend | the bridge. At our first fire the guards broke and run. , They attempted to blow up the main bridge, ! but failed. They then attempted to fire the j further extremity, but the volunteers at my . call rushed forward in the face of their fire ! and saved it. The bridge from the island to the inaiu shore we could not save. It is of small moment, its length being only about 450 feet. The prisoners taken report that five regi- j mcnts io infantry and 2,800 cavalry were sta- , tioned at the bridge. This campaign is ended, and I now occupy Huntsville in perfect security, while all of ! Alabama north of the Tennessee river floats no flag but that of the Union. (Signed) O. M. MITCHELL, We are still without direct news from New Orleans, though it is reported that Gen. IJutler's army was there, and that a large amount of cotton, sugar, Xe. had been discovered. From Gen. M'Clellan's army we learn that the division in which is the 40th reg iment, had an engagement, but no particu lars are given. The following is the dis patch : WASHINGTON, May 6. The boat to Cherrystone Inlet has arrived with despatches for the government. The enemy are in strong force and en trenched near iiliamsburg, intending to dispute the further passage cf our troops there. There has been seme brisk fighting, in which Gen. Hancock's division had taken two redoubts and repulsed Early's rebel brig ade by a brilliant bayonet charge. In this engagement. Gen. Hancock's frees are said to have killed two rebel colonels, two lieutenants, and captured lot) prisoners,— (■■•n. M'Clellan highly compliments Gen. Hancock's conduct. At the time of sending off the dispatches our loss was not known, but it is supposed to be considerable in proportion to the ex tent ot the engagement, as the fighting was quite severe. ihe rebel leaders are evidently concen trating their troops with the ultimate hope of making a stand at some favorable point, or a dash at detached divisions. Our gen erals have now a critical duty on hand in bringing the rebels to battle,—and it ought to be one that will lay low thousands oi these cutthroats—tor in no other way will the rebellion ever be effectually crush ed.
