to the Rebel Capital.
Washington, May 5.
The recent visit of thc French Minister to
Richmond has occasioned some speculation
on the part of the public, hut nothing like
what its extraordinary character would have
justified, among a people most skilled in
Statecraft than ours.
And first; M. Mercier did not visit Rich-
mmi.l t. IrwiL- iitVi-r llio Pvciwli (J ovominont 's
t,;lee, fur he is not a commercial agent,
but a diplomatist.
Secondly, M. Mercier did not go to Rich-
niond in the interest of the rebels. He could
""t, as an honorable man, have gone through
the I nion lines on amission unlriendlv to
.., .:., . nml ,...,,. . as the renre-
i sent ative ofan honorable Government, remain
at V asliiiU-'lon plotting adversely to tile
Government to which he is accredited.
Then what did the French Minister go to
Richmond for t The answer is this: To
assure the rebels that the Em juror of the
t'rmch dot not woiite tn-m ti a JW
tiiriviin the milium : that England and France
by recognizing them as belligerents, did all
that couM lie expecteu on tliepartot neutral

j tobacco crops of their citizens would only be
a wanton miurv to thc commerce 01 the
world, injuring France and England more
than the United States ; and that a resort to
guerrilla warfare, us proposed, when their
armies are destroyed, would demoralize soci
ety, and be simply a return to barbarism.
The rebels have been admonished, there
fore, that a rtMHiHoii of hottititim i utility
they oire to tfummlri and to thc irorld, which
all civilized nations will unite in requiring
of them.
At the same time, to save their honor and
their existence as a free people, the French
Euiocror has assured thcui that civilized
Europe will not approve the enforcement of
any hard terms on them by thc United
States ; that their society shall not be disor
ganized, their industry shall not be over
thrown ; their families shall not lie impov
erished by general and ineliscriniinate con
fiscations of their property; and that Mr.

BvLTIMonE, May 5.
York town w& tiactated entirely by the
Rebels at half-past two o'clock on the morn
ing of thc 4th. Juring all the preceeding
day nnd night tlcy kept up heavy firing
on'our batteriesAll along our lines to cover
their retreat. Our pickets pressed their
position on th' morning of the 4th, and
entered their alandoned entrenchments.
Wc capture a Bebel gunner in thc act of
firing his phec. Ho said ho was the last
inhabitant of Vorktow n. Hehad been firing
the gun all aght. I entered thc rebel works
at 4 A. M Not a white man, woman or
child was to be seen. Articles of clothing,
stores, aid oflieers' camp furniture, lay
scattercc everywhere. None of thc tents or
houses erc destroyed.
The retreat of the Hcbcls appears to have
been precipitate. They commenced tlis
montinir and carrvinir their works back to
Williamsburg four days afjo. Wagons have
Veen engaged in transporting their ammuni
tion, provisions and camp equipage for over
a week past. Their sick and wounded,
numbering over two thousand five hundred,
were sent to Richmond ten clays ago.
The Hcbcl soldiers and negroes were at
work on their entrenchments until two
o'clock this morning, when their rear guard
ordered them to cease, and take up the
march to Williamsburg. In the house of
Mrs. Nelson, where General Magruder had
slept the night before the evacuation, I found
several mien lidtiTs Ivinc unfolded on a table.
Two were addressed to General McClclIan,
one to "the First Yankee, who comes," and
one to "Abe Lincoln." The following are
the content of one addressed to General
McClclIan :
"General McClclIan : You will be surpri
sed to hear of our departure at this stage of
the game, leaving you in possession 01 tins
worthless town ; but the fact is, McClclIan,
we have other engagements to attend to,
and we can't wait any longer. Our boys are
getting sick of this d d place, and the
hospital likewise, so good-bye for a little
wlnle.
"Adjutant Tehrt, C. S. A. M."
Tents were left Ftanding, with liedding
nml articles of luxury in them. On t tic
canvass and sides of the huts were caricatures
of tho Yankee soldiers. Many of the tents
were cut in different places. Four lurge
trucks for earning heavy guns stood near
the dock, with an immense qunntity of
lumber.
In the inside entrenchments were wooden
guns projecting from the embrasures. Fort
Magruder, which - we built strong works to
reduce, was found to bo a weak place. Its
inside works were sand-bngs, piled up with
logs of wood painted black on the end.
Ou the parapets northeast of Yorktown
six guns were left. On thc south side two
smooth bores were found spiked. Portions
of Vorktown was undermined. The maga
zine doors are forbidden to le opened, for
fear of. explosion. Torpedoes and shells,
with a fuse fastened tOFUiall wires, lie iuthe
roads, redoubts, ic.
The Fifth Regiment New York (Duryra's
Zouaves) had five men killed and several
wounded by the explosion of a torjedo.
The Thirty-eighth New York Volunteers,
Colonel Hobart Ward, had two men killed
nnd four wounded by the bursting of a
prepared shell. His regiment was among
the first to enter the Rebel works. The
Fortieth New York Volunteers lost one man
killed and two wounded. The Seventieth
Regiment New York Volunteers lost two
men killed. Other casualties have occurred,
but I cannot send you particulars at present.
As soon 11s the evacuation of Yorktown
became known in thc camps, the bands of
the different regiments commenced playing,
nmidst cheering of the soldiers. Thc follow
ing order was sent to divisions and brigades,
at 7 A. M., from Gen. McClellan :
'Commandants of regiments will prepare
to march, with two days' rations, with the
utmost despatch. Leave not to return."
About 8 A. M. the troops began to march ;
the First Regular Cavalry and four batteries
of artillery leading. Tents were struck,
knapsacks' strapped, and, within on hour
after the order was given, thc troops were
inarching on beyond Yorktown. The gun
boats ascended the river to cut off the retreat
of the enemy. Tin y will go to West Point.
Ten thousand of the Kebels were sent from
Winnie's Mill to reinforce au army sent from
Richmond to oppose McDowell's advance,
last Thursday week.
A number of guns, some of them spiked,
were left at Gloucester Point, but the precise
number I am unable to state. The fortifica
tions tit Gloucester consisted onlv of outside
earthworks, and could easily have been
taken. The main body of the Rebels are
encamped three miles from Williamsburg,
on the James river.
tn the night of the 3d terrific firing was
kept up until twelve o'clock within the rebel
works. One of our Generals of thc trenches
reported that it was volleys of musketry and
heavy cannonading against our lines, which
proved a mistake. One of thc Rebel maga
zines had burst, and the fire scattered to
where n large number of boxes filled with
cartridges were piled up. As each box
caught the fire the report was similar to a
regiment discharging a volley. Nineteen
Rebels were killed anil over sixty wounded.
The works at Yorktown are nothing like as
formidable us we had been led to believe.
The total force of the Rebels, according to
reports was la than twenty thuaiut. No
great battle is expected at Williamsburg, as
thc Rebel troops, particularly those under
Magruder, have mutinied on several orca:
sions within two weeks. Five thousand of
his men threatened to lay down their arms
unless they received food and clothing.
Three Rebel Lieutenants, two Sergeants and
t wenty men were captured thc other side of
lorktown ami brought in. Since the third,
over seventy deserters have come in, and
they rejiort their army as thoroughly dis
heartened and demoralized.
The Rebel council of wa.' was held in Mrs.
Nelson's house at Yorktown, 011 Tuesday
last. Jeff. Davis and two members of his
cabinet, Generals Lee, Magruder, and nine
oilier licucrals were present, lha debates
were warm aud exciting, but finally it was
rckulvru to evacuate', the Uenerals entrust
cd with the order of evacuation kept it a
prolound secret trom the otheors ami men
ilio Honor ot ursl culenng tue enemy s

This morning, nt five o'clock, your corn s
pondent entered the enemy's works, which
the rear of their army deserted four hours
Ix-torc.
Everything was found to be in utter con
fusion, as though they had left in great
haste. Between forty and fifty pieces of
heavy artillery have been left in their works
alter being spiked, together with a large
amount of ammunition, medical stores, camp
equipage, tents nnd the private property of
their officers.
A negro, who was left in tho town, states
that the Reliels threw a large amount of
ordnance stores into the river to prevent
their falling into our hands.
Several deserters have succeeded in run
ning into our lines, one of them a very intel
ligent man from New York, who had been
connected with the ordnance department
ever since the works at Yorktown had lecn
constructed.
He states that thc Rebels evacuated owing
to the near approach of our parallels covering
the immense siege works of our men. That
they feared the success of t he Union gitnlioats
in the York and James livers, by means of
which their communication with the outer
world would be cut off.
The order was given to evacuate by Gen.
Johnston, ou Thursday, to commence the
following morning, which was accordingly
donp.
General Magruder is said to have most
strenuously opposed the measure, stating
that if they could not whip the Federals
here there was no other place iu Virginia
where they could, and that he swore in the
present of his men, who vociferously cheer
ed him, losing complete control of himself.
General Roltcrt E. Lee, the Commander-in-Chief,
arrived at Yorktown on Wednesday,
and minutely examined theworksof McClcl
Ian, when he is supHscd to have recommend
ed the abandonment of the works, deeming
them untenable.
The deserters all agree in stating that their
troops were verv much demoralized and
dissatisfied when the order was iniide public 1
as tney all anticipated having an engage
ment at this point. They also agree in the
statement that the Rebels had 1011.(1(10 men
on the Peninsula, w ith 400 pieces of field
artillery.
From the best information received thrv
have fallen back to Chickahominy creek
beyond Williamsburg, w here it is expected
they will make a stand.
lumcdiatfly on the facts becoming known
thc troops were ordered under arms, and are
now in motion from the right and h it wing
of the army. A large force under General
Stoneman, consisting of cavalry, artillery
and infantry, arc on the advance and wil'l
probably come up with the rear ot tho enemy
before night, if thev remain near Williams
burg.
Thegun-hoats have passed above Yorktown
aud ar now shelling th shore on their way
up. Following them is a large steamer and
vessels loaded w ith troops who will effect a
lauding.
(ten. Magruder swore he was not afraid of
Gn. McClclIan if Gen. Lcc was, and if he.
could not successfully fight him here, he
could nowhere.
Only one man was left at Yorktown. and
he was a negro.
General Jameson and Col. Samuel Black
were the first to enter the ememy's main
works. Tho only casualty that occurred !
was thc killing of two men and wouuding
of thrw, by the explosion of a concealed
shell within the enemy's works. Thefollow
ing are their names. They belong to Com
pany A. Fortieth New 'York : Killed
George MeFarland ami Michael McDcnnott.
Woutided Sergeant James Smith Frederick
Slack and Lawrence Burns.
The works nre very extensive and show
that they were designed by scientific engi
neers. Later.
Au official report just made to head-quarters
shows that the enemy left seventy-one
guns in the works at Gloucester Point. Thc
ordnunce stores were also left.
Another deserter has just coma in and
reports that Jeff. Davis came with General
Lee on Wednesday last, and after n consul
tation with tho most prominent officers, all
agreed as to the evacuation except General
Magruder.

DAVI8 COACHMAN IN A
UNI-
TED STATES CAMP.
He Mtlct Home Curiam liereliitioni Dita-
greemtnt Ihtireen Darin and Joe Johnnton
llintt a to the Policy and Htratrgy of the
Uriels -V;-. Darts Thinks the Vonfulervcy
is about Played Out,
Wasiiinoton, May !i. Thc following
statement has reached Washington. It is
contained in n letter dated yesterday, on the
Rappahannock :
"A colored man came in to-day trom the
other side of the river, and reported himself
as Jen. Davis' coachman, rrom an exami
nation of hiin, this appears to be the truth.
He repents scraps ot conversation which lie
overheard whilst driving Mr. ond Mrs. Davis
in the carriage, and between Mr. Davis and
those who came to sec him.
"Mr. Davis nnd Gen. Joseph E. Johnston
had some heated discussions about the lutter's
retreat from Manassas, Davis disapproving
of the measure. He had ordered a stand to
be made at Gordonsvillc, which Johnston
declined to do, and offered to resign. He
was even indisposed to go to Yorktown.
Mrs. Davis said she thought this was very
bad in him, to be unwilling to go and help
Gen. Magruder. The coachman overheard
thc conversation between Gen. Johnston and
Davis' wife, the former saying if he had not
left Manassas when he d'ul, General Mo
Clelhin would have come out against him
and cut him all to pieces.
"Mrs. Davis read an article from the
Richmond Examiner to her husband, saying
that it was a part of the Yankee plaus that
Generals Banks and McDowell were to fonn
a junction in Louisa or Caroline counties,
and move down on Richmond. Davis re
marked that he thought it was so, but his
Uenerals would take care ot thcui.
"Thc coaehman overheard a conversation
between Davis and Dr. Gwin, formerly U. S.
Senator from California. Davis said that he
had sent Gen. J. R. Anderson from North
Carolina to resist the march of the U. S.
troops from Fredericksburg, nnd to delay
them long enough for him to sec the proba
ble result of the contest before Yorktown, so
that if that was likely to be unsuccessful, he
would have time to extricate his army from
the Peninsula and get them into Richmond
and out of Virginia ; otherwise they would
all be caught.
"The coachman represents that Mrs. Davis
said 'the Confederacy was about played out ;'
that if New Orleans was really taken, she
had no longer any interest in the matter, as
all she hail w as there, antl that it was a great
pity they had ever attempted to hold Vir
ginia and the non cotton growing States.
She also said to Mrs. W. R. Jones (daughter
of Colonel James Taylor, United States
Commissary-General of Subsistence.) who
wns very anxious to get to Washington,
where she has one of her children, not to
give herself any trouble, but to stay where
she was, nnd when the Yankees came to
Richmond she could go.
"He snys Mr. and Mrs. Davis have all their
books, clothing, and pictures packed up,
ready to move off; that there is much out
spoken Union feeling in Richmond; that,
having been a waiter in the hotel, he knew
all the Union men in the place, nnd that the
Yankees are looked for with much pleasure
more by the whites than even the colored
people. Confederate money is not taken
when it can In- avoided. Sirs. Davis herself
was refused when she offered a ten dollar
Confederate note for a purchase. Many of
the Richmond people wish the Union troops
to come, us they are half-starved out.
"The bank nnd Government property is
all packed up, to be removed to Danville,
near the North Carolina line.
"Gen. Johnston did not think the Rebels
would succeed at Yorktow n.
"The coachman overheard an officer say
that if they failed at Yorktown and New
Orleans, thev would leave Virginia."
LATEST FHOM NEW ORLEANS.
Ciik aoo, May ."). A special dispatch to
the Times, from Cairo, dated to-dav, savs:
A refugee from Memphis brings News of
the rc-capturc of Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
by the United State's forces, nnd the passage
up the river of the United States gun-boats.
General 'Butler's army had landed at New
Orleans.
An immense amount of cotton had been
discovered and seized.
The Union citizens of New Orleans had
held a meeting, which w as attended by large
numbers, who indulged in the most enthusi
astic demonstrations of joy.
According to our informant, but little
opposition will be made to our gun-boats
coming up the river.
A few Rebel troops, lately enrolled nt
Baton Rouge, were stationed there, but they
lied ou the appearance of the United States
licet.
Tue Latest War News. The capture
of New Orleans is fully confirmed. A terri
fic and almost unparalleled engagement,
lasting six days, had taken place between
our flotilla and the rebel forts aud vessels,
and had wrested 1111 unconditional surrender
from the panic-stricken enemy. The victory
was not. its nt tirat supposed, a bloodless one,
our total loss being 11 1. The entire loss of
the rebels is not known, but four hundred of
them rre reported caprurcd.
General liurnsnle litis advanced his force,
and, at hist accounts, he was at Radgers
creek, about ten miles above Ncwbcrn. A
uuinber ot eiti.ens ot Ncwbcrn have
voluntarily came forward and taken the
oath of allegiance, aud have formed a regi
ment for the defence of their homes against
thc rebels.
The news from Gen. McC'lcllan's army
continues to be encouraging. By the bril
liant action of Gen. Hancock's brigade the
left Hue of the rcliel defence at Williamsburg
was turned, and they had to again evacuate
another stronghold, leaving iu our hands all
their sick and wounded, numbering over
one thousand, unr troops took three I11111
dred prisoners and recaptured many Feder
al prisoners who were taken in previous
engagements Imtnetliately ou thc retreat
lieing known to Gen. McOli-lhm, he sent n
strong cavalry forge ill pursuit, und at laU
accounts the rtbcis had crossed the ( hicka
hoitiiny. TUe rcM loss in tho ligct at Wil
li.iunljurg is kuown to have been severe
particuhuly in olllccr,

The Latest,
FoiiTiiEss Monroe, May B.
By thc si earner from Yorktown, I lcaru
that General McClellan has advanced twelve
miles beyond Williamsburg, and hits had
several skirmishes wilh the enemyi rtmtjng
them with heavy loss.
A heavy battle took place on Wednesday
between the troop of (icii. Franklin Mid
Gert. Sedgwick, and thc reUls under Gen.
Lee, which is said to have been tho severest

tJP'NEW Good. Frlllng A flrant bavo jut re
ceived a very heavy and extcneiro stock of goods at
their mnmmotb rtore in this place. The increased
bucincss of our merchants within the last ten years it
surprising. This can be readily seen byexatnining the
great piles of goods not only on the ehcWrs, but the
counters of our beet business merchants.
tlT Fiss Fi.oca. We are Indebted to our old
friend, Jesse C. Horton, for several hundred weight
of very superior wheat flour. It is, however, proper
to say, that we cannot recommend it at an economical
article. We have teen a poorer srticleawhich wonld
go much furthor in a family, especially where they
are somewhat fastidious In their tastes.
I t, Imphovrm ests. Among the new buildings
going up, wo observe one nearly finished by Mr.
Henry Peters. Mr. Peters is one of our enterprising
mechanics. This is the third home he has built in
about as many years, although bis limited means
hardly enabled him to finish the first. We have not
yot heard that Mr. Peters will be a candidate fur
Congress, yet he is more deserving than some who
are, end will be candidate.
lMAkicioTi Miscnirr. Wc understand that
some wicked and thoughtless boys have been guilty
of mutilating some of the tomb-stones in the (1 rave
Yard. If the perpetrators of this wicked practice
should bo discovered, they will And that the law
punishes such offences with great severity.
I'ff TnB Fnt lT Cor. From present appearances
we are likely to have an abumtunt fruit crop. Al
ready the peach, apricot, pear, 'cherry and the early
apple ure in full blossom. Tho dwurf pears in this
vicinity are epeeiiilly prolific, aud if the weather
should remain favorable we may look for an excellent
crop of this most delicious of all fruiti".

falls to the lot of mortals here below. Yirtue

None named her but to praiM.
