DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA.
Ijougstrect 'Evacuates Suffolk aud joins
Lee-Om- Generals out-general led—Movo
meat of Troops. • ■ m. .-
[SpecialCorrespondenceofTliePress.] •* ; < “-
;> v j- ; Nohitolk, Va., May 5, 1863.
V The town is full of soldiers’from Suffolk, But;
-whither they are bound is known to the commanding
general only. The beats lie in the river, ready to
take them to Yorktown; I presume; as soon as they
•■debark.from the, cars. Terry’s brigade came to-day,
and Getty’s may come to-morrow.*, ’.
When the rebels evaluated Suffolk, itwas a good
move for them, but a very bad one for us. Aud it waa
managed so secretly, quietly, rapidly, and simulta
neously as to extort much - admiration for the mi
litary ability of Longßtreet and the discipline of hia
army./But wbat'ean be said for our generals! What
extenuating circumstance can I mention that , will
make our believe that they were not out
witted— out-generalled? f Alas ! . l know none—no,
not one. And if it hadnot been for the reconnoiß
sance in force, made on Sunday, they'might have
slipped quietly off and been fighting. Gen. Hooker,
before Gen. Beck would have: known it. When it
was discovered that; they had evacuated, why was
not a heavy force Bent to cut them off—to capture
them! We had 80,000 men here—cavalry .and artil
lery. Instead of sending out a few cavalry scouts to
find what had become of the rebels, with the injunc
tion—“beware of a trap /” why, in. the'nanß of'
heaven, were 15,000 men not pushed after
on the Petersburg road, 5,000 on the South Quay
road, and 5.000 on the Bdenton road—accompanied
by cavalry and artillery 1
True; the whole, affair may be the glorious result
of some manoeuvring .commander, It is another
triumph of sublimated strategy, I dare say. How -
ignorant our officers were of the numbers,-com
manders, position, and intentions of the rebels, is
made evident by the wild, erratic movements we
have lately made, and the care we itook to avoid a
general engagement. The rebels knew our position •
and numbers exactly. Xongstreet oarae down the -
South Quay almost to Fort Nansemond, and lei
surely examined our fortifications through his glass.
On Sunday, when the engagement was progressing,
I &j very shrewd-looking gray-baclc/ aged
■ about forty-six, and only four feet seven Inches in'
height. .'i was toldhe had been loitering round the
town for over a week. He appeared** so desirous of
proving his loyalty, and his eye wandered so wildly,
•,that I suggested to'the soldiers that the r man should
be taken to General Peck/ * But he was no,t.vYes
terday I rode fifteen miles out on the Sominerton*
road, and was questioned by a" lady if I had noticed
a little man in gray clothes over at‘Suffolk, I
mentioned where and under what'circumstanceg I
had seen him, adding my suspicions about his busi
ness there. j The woman laughed, and said “ that
’ere.little fella is one of the sharp ’uns. He used to
bring General Xongstreet maps of, your fortifica
tions, snd other information; so that wedenew aIL
about things around Suffolk. And,” she continued,
.“.the little pld man. came over last night and went'
withithe rebels.’’< I. rode up to the door of a very
comfortable-looking house,: with grounds and fenceß
in excellent! condition; <Four females r and a “ baby l
crowded,to while a tow-headed little
■ urchin half .co vered himself in the amplitudeof his
mother’s.dress. I. soon discovered {the number of
the inmates, and that the two -good-looking girls
were children of the woman with the baby. The
Other lady evidently acted the part of Miss
toward the family. .•
“Whose house is this?” I inquired. Theladywith
.the baby in her arms promptly replied, “ Mr. Hoo
sier’a.” “Where,‘is. lie?’.’ “In Suffolk jail, air.’*
-S'Wcrc you glad to see'your friends, when they
came?” ;'it’ is sort'of natural/youknow.”
“ But, were you .not sor’ry-wh'en they left youthus
to the mercy of the Yankees?”' “Ohl’no, indeed,
sir. We were pleased to see them come, but delight
ed to have them go.” And I don’t wonder. - With
the single exception of this family,- all had been''
beggared by their.friends?.visit. , Some were almost
starving, and many had fled to the woods, and lived
like wild leasts ! in their forest lair till the • rebels ■
had left. They hung just before they left* 1 ,
.by order' of General Longstreet,. because he haj>-'
pefied to.be styled the most . intelligent contraband
|in Virginia. I saw over a hundredprisoners cap
tured. Some were exhausted with hunger, literally -
famished* many barefooted,and their-clothes
stuck to‘them in , greasy tatters. The officers were
not in much better plight. 'For one week before they
left, forage was very scarce, and along the Dismal
Swamp they could get nothing. .. The men had
bacon, flour, and corn-in the ear- served-them
for rations. ' They* are all - exceedingly anxious
_to. know-why we don’t “let them go,” and wonder
l if werwin tignvzqioijjA aujugPA., u-iib ummora-ol~alr
this woehavebeencomforting, sustaining, and sup
porting the men who fight and bleed, and die be
cause of them, with the assurance that we were 1 die
moralized rand destroyed. The men;begin to minS-’
miir, and td suspect these prophets to" be of-;the sons
of Belial. ■■ To quiet this growing insubordination,
the<.Biebmondv'£{saflrinsr-:> begins already to soothe
the chafing'rebels, as a man would a-restive hotse
preparatory to niouating f him. Says the Richmond,
Enquirer:;" This to a painful and ungracious task to
undertake, to disabuse our * countrymen and friends
.of pleasing and sanguine anticipations. We would
to God we could believe that the huge armies of
■ those brigands would melt, thaw, resplyejthemselveß
into a dew, and that in the bright days very
spring, our victor soldiers, their' last field ’well
fought, might be facing to their homes by far-off
• Southern streams, marching gaily with bouquets in
their musket barrels! through.streets of towns all
wild with the. passion of their joy; whitest hands
ptfting them with powers, wafting to them salutes
and benedictions; old.men embracing them with
tears of pride ' and gratitude, for,a .land redeemed,
exalted* proud,.free, and famous forever. But, no;
but* no ! This year is to be ( a year of deßperate fight
ing, and next July 4 wc will still find in front of us at
.least as large armieß of the barbarous foe as we see
this day.” ' ' l ’
General Bix has been at Suffolk all day.' He and
Gen: Peck have been Indefatigable In their effort,'
to attend: to the comfort of the 1 men In their com
mand,, and to get all wlio'are to leave Suffolk, 1
safely embarked. Gcn.'Vielc, military 'commander
at Norfolk, conducts his department with gentle
manly deportment, giving infinite satisfaction to his
officers and. men, and the .denizens of the town.'
The two Pennsylvania regiments stationed here haVe
prepared a magnificent gold-headed oanej made from
a piece of the Iderrimac, which they Intend present*
ingto him this .week. They have a duplicate for
our . energetic Governor, Andrew, Curtin.. It ii'
whispered* covertly that.’the' destination of tlie
moving troops has*'been changed to'-West, Point;
others say they will.cross the Happahandock, a few
miles above the place where Gem Frahklfo’s com
mand crossed, about a year ago. j Wherever they
go we wish them long life and victory. General
Hooker wilifno-doubt, find them to be a “very
present help in time of need.” ,
, Here are copies of letters: addressed to Colonel
Spear’s regiment, which were droppedin conspicuous
places on .the road by' the fleet-footed rebels, and'
which you can use it-you, please. , Alsoj a .letter!
.Which I'clip from the >Eichmond Enquirer,, of the
24th ult. 'All the rebel papers are half sheets. ’ :
Foet Mississippi, weak -Suffolk, Vibginia,
. / , " *May 3rd, 1863.
To Colonel Spear, of 11 Ih Pennsylvania 1 Cavalry:
Sib : We are sorry that circumstances prevented
our meeting while in this vicinity, but will be happy
to see you at either Franklin, or Blackwater bridge,
provided you make the same charges ' that
’•you did at the aforenamed place sometimeogo. Do,
Colonel Spear, bring your whole regiment .with you,
and try to persuade Generals Corcoran, ( and Dix to

: brought hack upon the field.
PLEASANTON' CHECKS THE REBELS.
In the Meantime Pleasanton, in obedience to the
orders received from Gen. Sickles, had mustered two
' or/three of -the batteries, and .waa busily employed
pouring grape'and canister into the woods that were
tilled .with the rebels. Every movement his effect
tive force of pieces was Increased, bycannoniers re*
covering from their fright and returning to duty, so
that by theVtime the stampede; was finally checked
hehad.at least twenty-five pieces bearing"directly
' upon the enemy in all directions about the field,
i and fat' so close a range that every discharge took
effect, not upon one or two; but upon dozens.' The
■slaughter here must have been beyond count. We,
have.reason to believe that nearly the whole,,if not
the'entire body, of Hill’s* force'was in the attack I
upon-that little field, which'must have filled the
woods. Such an incessant fire from so many pieces,
and into so, dense a: mass, could ,- not have produced
> any. ordinary limit of slaughter. But it. being now
; quite dark,' we never posses-
the - woods, -where the «enemy-were- the
sickest, we have no means of knowing how great
the-slaughter was. -It waßi sufficient to knowthatl
’the* enemy was held in check, .and Siokelß’, gallant.

Let me here finish with tbeiltli Corps. f They did* j
r not alLiiy across Sickles’ line. They dispersed and I
raniri all directions, regardless of the order of their i
. going. 9 They aU seemed possessed with an : instinctive
' ideaof r the shortestanamostdireetdineiffomthe

and the majority: of themdid hot stop! until they hau
' reached the fold. Many, of-them, on reaching the

supposed to be running As soon- asGencral i
Hooket heard of the panic, he established a line of i
/guards, scrota the roads aha stopped all who were to i
be seen upon the highways. . But by far the greater i
. portion fiever thought of. the roads;••but; dashed on i
.... through the woods until they reached the river. It i
* was no worse with privates thah 1
The stampede .was universal! the disgrace general.;
The fugitives were picked up the next day wherever
the corps was reformed, but has not since
. been taken into action. ?
BERNEY SAFE.,
=* In the midst of the confusion incident to this panto
the brave Birney and his gallant division have been*
i forgotten., 'Almost simultaneously with ’the-recep*.
! tion of the information'sept;Mm by General Sickles
of'the rout of his supports on the nght, he began to
have'practical evidfcn ce of it ; by. the flight of .the
moralized Germans across his lines, and before he
couldprepaieto retire his force he foundhis line of:
i»retreat out off. by.the repossession by the rebels of
* the road 1 by which he had advanced.' In this dilemma '
h he had n'o other recourse bufcto*make>aroadout.
I' His column/was, therefore, ordered to leave the lane
: and m? ve'quietly down - into}!the ravine. 5 This waa
successfiiUyi accomplished, even the battery that had
been taken up,- to the foundry being brought down
- the hill.- In the ravinehe had a'slight skirmish with
a portion of the rcbels, who hid been pursuing .Whip
-ple, putting them flight! and then moved his
column out through the ravine la the most perfect
order. * . , \
■ ■■ WHIPPLE SAFE.
' General Whipple, when attacked In his rear by
' the rebel* and on hie flankbythe demoralized ana
'frantic men of the 11th, was', in the utmost danger
of' losing'hi* entire commardl I have' never yeti
: ascertained hQw he *aved it, hut I do,know that.he

bivouacked that night/with Elrney and Pleaaonton,
on the little farm in the. wood*. - .
THE GREAT BATTI|E OF SUNDAY.
At daylight on Sunday morning the etfort was
making to withdraw both Whipple and Birney from
,'thi» held andputthem in pofitlon on the left of,our
.. new line, half a.mlle Whipple to have the ex
treme leitj Birney the centre, with hisright on Ber-'
try’s left flank.;, This new line had been provided.
; for during the night, by the 1 construction of breast- ‘
work* and rifle-pit* along it* entire front, and throw
ing.up field works for the artillery in the rear.
THE ATTACK. , *... '
A little .before aunriie, while General Sioklea waa,
removing hia two diviiion* fromthe little farm that,
I have sooften had occaaion to refer to, the enemy
. fell.upomhjm in great force, the attack coming,from
the woods onithe northwest of the field. The bulk ,
'of,the corpahad been withdrawn from the field,and.
;were' already to position at the designated point. ,A
single brigade, each of Birney’s and , whlpple’a
corps, remained, and-these set their faeee bravely
towards the enemy,and returned the fire , that was
so,unceremoniously poured upon them, , - ,
, Simultaneously with this attack, the rebels pushed
;on downthe plank road,,and fall .upon Berry’s divl-.
sion, at the edge of the woods,' and then upon
French, lyiugon Berry’s right iiank.and almost in
a momentlthe fighting became generar'and intensely
i hot along' the entim left wing of the army. The
1 position in which 'the two Uivisions of Siokles’
I. corps were placed, so far in advanceof the rest of the,
, army, asd,with no breastworks to shelter them, .was,
denude in the extreme. The enemy *(w the Scat Ueiei

which they opened upon that little body of ;brave

Here isthe famous division^of 'Shields', whose ex-*

magnificent"division of the lamented, Kearny—men
who never faltered pnder any fire,* h'owever galling.
And here, also, is the'veteran column led by Hooker
through the Peninsular campaign,-.’and with which';
he established his reputation^,as <a .lighting general..
Such material may be equalled in the ranks of

*■' GL. VALLANDIGHAM., ; , i
*• A special train left this city at l2TO’clock, .Monday ; .
night, with a company of fhe 13th'United" State*
Infantry*; sixty-seven men, with from.
General«Burnßide, commanding of
the Ohio, to arrest 0/ L. ‘Vallahdigham, at his resi
dence in Dayton/ .The train;reached Dayton at
proceeding to Yailandigham’s. house,
placed guards on the streets inthevicihity, and'the
captain commanding, with a^squad of men, sur
rounded the house. The'door-bell. was rung, and
Vallandigham appeared -at the- window, -and ■ in
quired what was wanting? .Thejcapteinp.told him,
hut he was not disposed to go aiong peaceably/ He '
shouted for the police loudly* ana the-fehiale mem- 1
bers of the family joined their cries to his. The s
captain fold him he might as well' Btop* the disturb- 1
ance, ashehadthe/orce to'arrest him,land would cer
tainly do so. Vallandigham then saidhe was not
dressed. The captain told himlie would have time
to dress himself, but he redoubled his Bhouts for the .
police, when an attempt was made.to force the front ■
(joor. j The door resisted the efforts of the soldiers,
and Yallandigliam flourished a. Revolver at the win
dow, and fired two or three shots without effect.' A ■■
side door was then; forced,* andthe squad* finding all ; >
the doors in the house fastened, broke open four of
them before they reached the apartment occupied by

THE MOB AT DAI TON. , >
Dayton, 0., May s.—At.eight o’clock Pi M., the
mob began storming the Journal office, and soon. '
pißtol flringat the windows was added, pndfordlf- . f
teen minutes the discharges 'were so .Tapid 'they
could not he counted.' v Wheh the crowd saw there- : ...
was no danger, they began breaking in the doors,
’which they soon demolished.' After throwing the
business office tire -,to. th&.esta- ,
blißhment, which ianow far consumed. For fifteen
minutes after'the fire broke out,-no fire bells were
rung, but they are how, pealing away-.-
. _JTii«rewere ’l J oij/but'Jio ....
one offered to lead a fbrce against the mob until' j
about the time the building was’ fired, when some..
one called on the Union men to fall into line. A'
vast crowd then broke for the armory, but have not ‘
succeeded in doing anything yet. .. • ,
The telegraph-wire connecting with Columbus
was cuta fewmoments since. ; , j
The engines are now playing on the fire, and the .
mob seems to have scattered, but it is feared only •
to turn its fury on some other point—thejail, to get
* at Brown, or to the residence of. Colonel Parrot (the
provost marshal of the - district),' against whom the
most violent threats havebeen made., , v
'Njnk o’clock.— I The Jbnrnbl building wash frame,
and is totally consumed; , Three^or A four adjoining ,
buildings are also pretty well up, and as'
they are immediately contiguous to - the ; Phillips •
House, it is in great danger,.the outer premises
being already on fire, and the'hbW being carried
through the building..; .The guests are:paioking up,' -
and the, women and children moving.out in great
confusion. The engines are all getting towork, and -
will save it. •. ■■
In front of the Empire office, just how, I heard the
very scoundrels who took part in the violence, in- •
nocently ask hoW ;the building got on A fire, and, sup-,
. posing it came from a stove. They then supposed
the “Abolition : papers” would ; “ charge it. ■
Yallandigham Democrats,. and everybody* present
knew they were innocent.”*
It is said, the mob'have gone, out on the Xenia
road, to burn bridges, so as to prevent soldiers from'
arriving from’ Columbus*'-The whole city is-illumi- 1
nated with the fire, and the,citizens, women and aU,
are on the streetß. rr , V—'
A man was just-now discovered .trying to-out the
hose, and. was shot-at three ? times by a fireman.
'•Other individual disturbances are constantly'oo-'
eurring.
LATER.
Troops have just arrived from. Columbus and Cin
cinnati—2oo from the former hndlOO, fromthe latter:
place. The troops are. posted, as guards throughout,
the city, and no further violence Is apprehended. * -
There is one satisfaction in regard, to the fire—the
buildings burned belongto butternuts ; but as they
were not worth much) and they will call on the city ’ ’
to make good the lobb, the satisfaction is light.
The “Amnesty” to the'Poles*
The following ia the complete text of the imperial -
manifesto issued by the Emperor of Kussia on the v
12th ult., whereby his Majesty announced an amnesty
to the Poles: • , ; < > 1 .*
Since the appearance of the first; reports,of (lie- •-
orders which have broken out in the kingdom of Po*.

us. and we have declared that,we do not make.the Po- •
lish nation responsible for theagitations whichhave''
had the most unfortunate.fooMfiquencea/tfor- that: : .
kingdom. We hava only ascribedthem tothe in- -,

having spent many years in ; 'an 'unsettled manner*
are accustomed topromote <*diicofd''arid- arbitrary

them to sully the national honor by .These ~
proceedings of 1 another age, which some 1 time ~
have b£en condemnedby.the,decree,of : history, do ,
not any longer accor&with the spirit of our ume.
The present generation must devote'itselftothe taak
of establishing, the wdfare of the* country, not by*

- selves when we, under the protector,' took
the oath before Qod ahddur conaoiehce to aevote
our life to promote thehappineßS-okour people. • If,
however, we would fulfill this oath, which ia ever

the approbation of all men who. intend to/act sin

base'their attachment not : on;interested expecta

maintenance of public peace, under the protection

Ia our anxiety for the future of “the country, we
will consign tb obliviomall past’aotsof'rebellion. ' ■
Therefore, influenced .by the.yeammg desire to put
