WASHINGTON, May s.—The follow ing has been raceived at the War Department : HEADQUARTERS ARMY POTOMAC, I May tth, 7 o'clock, p. m. To Hon. E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War; Our cavalry and horse artillery came up with the enemy's rear guard in their entrenchments, about two miles this side of Williamsburg. A brisk fight ensued, and just as my aid left, Smith's division of infantry arrived on the ground, and I pre sume, carried his work through, but I have not yet heard. The enemy's rear is strong, but I have force enough up there to answer all pur poses. We have thus far seventy one heavy guns, large amounts of tents, ammunition, &c. All . along the lines their works prove to have been most formidable, and I am now fully satisfied of the correctr.ess 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 tor pedoes-within the abandoned works, near wells, near springs, near flag. staffs, magazines and telegraph offi ces, in carpet bags, barrels of flour, etc. Fortunately we have not lost many men in this manner—some four or five killed, and perhaps a dozen wounded. I shall make the prisoners remove them at their own peril. ISigued] GEO. B. IicCLELLA.N, Major General. ADVANCE NEAR WILLIAMSBURG, Mondny ',evening, May s.—The War correspondent of the Associated Press says: When my dispatches were sent last evening, the indications were that cur troops would occupy Williams burg without much opposition. The first indications of the enemy's rear guard being reinforced, was the fact of their pressing our lines about eight o!clock in the morning, show ing a determination to resist our ad vance. Sufficient reinforcements had arrived during the night to enable our Generals to act either on the offensive or defensive. About eight o'clock the enemy opened on our troops posted on the left, composed of Gen. Hooker's Division, and other troops of Heintzelman's corps.— The . action in this vicinity was very heavy at times. The loss in killed and wounded is not known, but it is supposed to be ,considerable on both sides. The enemy was repulsed at all points. Gen. Peet's brigade, stationed to She right of Gen. Hooker's, soon after became engaged. There the firing was very heavy for about two hours, during which they handsome ly repulsed the enemy in a charge.— [Our loss here was about 30 killed and 75 wounded. A brilliant victory was achieved about five o'clock in the afternoon, by Gem Hancock's brigade, assisted by Kennedy's and Wheeler's bat teries. They had been ordered to the right to fell the enemy, and, if possible, turn their left wing. Here they were met by Earley's brigade ,consisting of the sth North Carolina .and the 24th and 38th Virginia reg iments, 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.. .The enemy advanced steadily to within ono hundred yards, when Gen. Hancock ordered a charge with the bayonet, which was executed with the greatest cour age. The enemy's lines were broken. They became panic stricken, and fled, leaving their dead and wounded be hind. The rebels left upward of eighty dead and forty wounded. We took nearly two hundred prisoners.— Among the wounded were the Col onel and Lieutenant Colonel of the sth North Carolina regiment. Our loss was seventeen killed and about Forty wounded. Among the enemy's ,deil were the bodies of the Lieut. .Col. and Major of the 24th Virginia : regiment, together with several other officers. Their dead were buried by our troops., And their wounded cared foy. The conduct of Caren. .1 d. ,faneogk and his brigade, on this occasion, has ex cited universal admiration. A standard of colors belonging to the cavalry engaged, was Captured ,und is now on its way to Washington. .10 When the news of Hancock's sae ,cess became known, a shout went up from tens of thousands of Union Iluroats, that made the country re , sound for miles around. Gen. Han .cock remained through the night in the works of the enemy. Gan. McClellan and staff arrived on the field at five o'clock, and im mediately rode to the front, where ,his presence among the troops was most joyfully hailed. He immedi ately assumed command in person. The rain has poured in torrents all ,day. Tile troops suffer much from exposure, but noun complain. From information ,received from -the prisoners taken, the enemy will make a decisive stand at Williams burg, reinforcements have beet) ar riving all day, and Gen. J. 1. John son in command.

The Rebels Retreating to Richmond ! OUR ARMY IN CLOSE PURSUIT. AVAsitiNoToN, May 7.—Dispatches received from Gen. -McClellan an nounce the evacuation of Williams burg by the rebels, and that our army is following them vigorously on the road to Richmond. The battle of Monday was very se vere, and the loss of the rebels proves to have been large. The following has been received at the War Department. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF ME POTOMAC, } Williamsburg, May 6, 1862. To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War : SIR-I have the pleasure to an nounce the occupation of this place, as the result of the hard fotight ac tion of yesterday. The effect of Gen. Hancock's bril liant engagement yesterday after noon was to turn the left of their line of works ; he was strongly reinforced, and the enemy abandoned the entire position during the night, leaving all his sick and wounded in our bands. His loss yesterday was very severe. We have some 300 uninjured prison ers and more than 400 wounded.— Their loss in killed is heavy. I have sent cavalry in pursuit. The conduct of our men has been excellent•with scarcely an exception. The enemy's works are very ex tensive, and exceedingly strong, both in respect to their position, and the works themselves. Our loss was heavy in Gen. Hook er's division, but very little on other parts of the field. Gen. Hancock's success was gained with a loss of not over 20 killed and wounded. The weather is good to-day, but there is great difficulty in getting up food on account of the roads. Very few wagons have as yet come up. Ant I authorized to follow the ex ample of other Generals, and direct the names of battles to be placed on the colors of regiments ? We have other battles to fight be fore reaching Richmond. [Signed] G. B. MCCLELLAN, Major General Commanding. BALTIMORE, May 7.—Our letter by the Old Point boat says that the mail boat Nellie Baker arrived just before the boat left, and reports that General McClellan is in Williamsburg, having driven the enemy from their position. A few captured cannon had been retaken, and a whole divis ion thrown on the rear of Williams burg. WASHINGTON, May 7.—The Fort ress Monroe boat, which left at 8 o'clock this morning, has arrived at Cherry Stone, bringing the follow ing : Williamsburg, llay 6—To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War : Every hour proves our victory more com plete. The enemy's loss is great, es pecially in officers. I have just heard of five more of the enemy's guns being captured. Prisoners are con stantly arriving. (Signed) G. B. MCCLELLAN, Major General Commanding. Williamsburg, Va., May 6th.—The enemy evacuated this place, and their works in front, last night, the rear guard passing through about 6 o'clock this morning. At 9 o'clock, Gen. McClellan entered the town and took possession. About 150 of the enemy's sick and wounded were left behind, without any rations, medicines or surgeons. They also loft a number of their dead unburied. All of our wounded in yesterday's engagement, who fell in their hands, were left behind. Col. Dwight, of the E2tcelsior Brigade, who was severely wounded in the engagement of yesterday, and taken prisoner, was also left in the hospital. The enemy suffered terribly.— Gen. Ricketts was killed. The enemy had a force here yes terday of fifty thousand men, and on ly decided to evacuate after the gal lant bayonet charge of Gen. Han cock. The town is very pleasantly loca ted, and the majority of the white inhabitants are remaining. The number of the enemy now in our hands is about 1,000, including the wounded. THE ENEMY AGAIN PUT TO FLIGHT ! Driven Beyond the Chiekahominy ! REBEL ARM IN A STARV ING CONDITION! Their Troops Falling Down From Exhaus- I tin! BAr.rrMOuE, May B.—The following .is furnished by the special corres pcind.ence of the American, dated 'Yorktown, yesterday : At eleven o'clock, to-day, as I close my letter, the latest intelligence received from the field of battle is that General McClellan has come up with the ene my, eight miles beyond Williams burg, and, after a pretty severe skirmish with his rear, had again put him to flight across the Chickahom iny creek. , A large additional number .of pris- I oilers have been taken, ineluding i many deserters who report that they have had nothing to eat but a few hard biscuits, for forty-eight hours, and when brought in fell down in a state of exhaustion. I Heavy cannonading could be heard by the boats coming down the river, at an early hour this morning. No thing as to the result is ascertained. I There is no doubt but that the whole army 9f Generals Lee, John son and Magruder are is a state of utter.disorga.uiaatiou, and under the rapid pursuit of general .51eClellan are &slug with great precipitation, and without the intention of making a stand anywhere, and unless they reach Richmond in boats, by way of the James River, will certainly be intercepted and captured by the A large number of prisoners are ar riving at West Point, and others are being constantly brought in. On Monday the enemy took about eighty of our men prisoners, and captured one of the Pennsylvania batteries, having first killed all the horses, and then having but a small support of infantry-, were overwhelm ed by a superior force and were compelled to abandon their guns, but before the close of the day, this bat tery, with one of the enemy's, was captured by General McClellan, and the prisoners they had taken were found in Williamsburg next day at tending on the wounded of the ene my left behind. Their retreat was accompanied by too much confusion to be troubled with prisoners. II It must be that the enemy have destroyed all the bridges across the Chickahominy, and that Gen. Mc- Clellan is resting his army on this side. It will be readily remembered that the Chickahominy river runs parallel with the James river, into which it empties. It is the general impression that McClellan has now got the enemy just where he wants THE ACTION ON MONDAY. Heavy Loss in the Excelsior Brigade. THEIR DESPERATE BRAVERY. BALTIMORE, May Bth.—The follow ing is from the American's account of the battle of Monday :—The battle before Williamsburg on Monday was a most warmly contested engage ment. Owing to the roughness of the country and bad condition of the roads, but a small portion of our ttoops could be brought into action. General Sickles' Excelsior Brigade, of General Hooker's Division, bore the great brunt of the battle, and fought most valorously, though great ly overpowered by numbers and the superior position and earthworks of the enemy. The approaches to their works were a series of ravines and swamps, whilst the rain fell in torrents throughout the day. The men had also been lying on their arms all the previous night in the woods, soaked with mud and chilled with cold. The battle raged from early in the morning until three o'clock in the afternoon, when General McClellan arrived with fresh troops and re lieved the division of Gen. Hooker, who were nearly prostrate with fa tigue and exposure, whilst the Third Excelsior regiment of the Brigade had its ranks terribly thinned by the balls of the enemy. They are repre sented as having fot.ght with such im prudent bravery that not less than two hundred of them were killed and wounded. After the arrival of Gen. GcClel lan, the enemy was fiercely charged upon by Hancock's brigade, and was driven within the works before night fall, with a heavy loss. Nearly seven hundred of their dead were left on the field, with many of their wounded, though most of the latter were carried into Williamsburg. Our loss was less than three hundred killed, and about seven hundred wounded. Night having conic on we occu pied the battle field, the enemy hav ing been driven within his works. A large number of wagons and munitions of war, and a considera ble store of provisions, were found in the town, whilst the road was strewn for many miles with arms and ac coutrements, A number of deserters also made their escape, and came within our lines. They stated that the rebels had received intelligence that large numbers of the United States troops were landing on York river, above Williamsburg, to flank them. FROM PITTSBURGH LANDING, STRATEGY OP GEN. POPE. Two Thousand Prisoners Taken--Dissatis- faction in the Rebel Army. CAIRO, May 6.—The steamer Ella, which left Pittsburgh Landing at nine o'clock last night, has arrived. On Sunday afternoon, Gen. Pope, by placing a battery of artillery in the open field near Farmington, in sight of three rebel regiments, suc ceeded in luring them on to take the battery, when he took the whole force, numbering 2,000 prisoners. Deserters report great dissatisfac tion in the rebel army, both among officers and men. Beauregard had made a speech to the troops, in which he said he would make a des perate stand, and force the Federal army to retreat. Orders had been issued to the Fed -eral troops to march on Sunday night, but were prevented by the con dition of the roads, which the heavy raids rendered impassible. A BRILLIANT CAVALRY VICTORY. INTIsuviLLE, May G.—A dispatch to the Louisville Journalannounces a fight at Leb anon, Tennessee. General Dumont, with portions of Woolford's and Smith's Ken tucky Cavalry, and Wynkoop's Pennsyl vania Cavalry, attacked Morgan's and Wood's Cavalry, eight hundred in number, at Lebanon, on Monday morning, at four o'clock. The rebels were utterly routed. A. large number were slain, and on e hundred and fifty prisoners were taken.— Nearly all their horses and arras were captured. They fled after fighting one hour and a half, General Dumont in Jul/ pursuit. He will capture the whole force. .The prisoners will be here this evening. It was a brilliant affair, and managed with great skill by General. Dumont.— I Morgan is reported killed. Col. Smith is wounded in the leg. Col. Woolford is wounded in the abdomen, seriously. The '• rebels mere completely surprised and out witted. EXPERIENen in religion is beyond notions and expressions. A. sancti fied heart is better than a silver THE CAPTURE OF NBW OR- Luang s Rollins' "Turtle" and Eleven Gun boats Sunk ! NEW YORK, May 7.—Tbe steamer, from Havana, with dates to the 3d instant, has arrived. The U. S. gun boat, Daniel Smith, arrived at Ha vanna on the 30th ult., from Fort Jackson, with dates to the 26th. The attack on the rebel forts be low New Orleans commenced on the 18th ult. On the 23d, Commodore Farragut, in the U. S. sloop-of-war Hartford, with thirteen steamers, passed the forts, and Gen. Butler landed four thousand men above. The rebels lost eleven gunboats and the Hollins' turtle, known as the Manassas ram. Our forces took four hundred prisoners. We lost one hundred and fifty men, and one gun boat, the Verona, was sunk. On the 24th, a flag of truce was sent to Commodore Porter, asking conditions for a surrender, to which Commodore Porter replied "No con ditions." Our flag now floats proudly over the custom house. An American war steamer reports the capture of three rebel steamers, and sendiiig them to Key West. An other rebel steamer was chased into Bohia Honda. Twenty mortar and three gunboats were engaged against the forts, si lencing them after three days inces sant fighting. The chains across the river were removed by our gunboats. The rebels sent fire rafts down the river, but they did but little damage. One set fire to the Hartford, but it was speedily extinguished. The United States gunboat 'Ve rona and the rebel iron-clad steamer Webster, bad a splendid engagement. The Webster run into the Verona and sunk her; but before going under, the Verona crew poured in a volley of eight guns so destructive and crushing that both the Verona and the Webster went down together. Arrangements for the surrender of Forts Jackson and Philip were to bo made on the 27th ult., the day after the steamer -. Daniel Smith left Fort Jackson. The ram Manassas was sunk by the U. S. steamship Mississippi. Our forces sent small boats to the fire rafts, and towed them out of the way before they could do any harm. The rebels loss is unknown. FRENCH MINISTER'S VISIT TO RICH MOND! THE REAL OBJECT OF HIS MISSION. . May o.—The N. Y. Times of to-day says : The object of the visit of M. Mercier, the Fl ench Minister, to the rebel capital is ex plained in a dispatch from our spe cial Washington correspondent. His mission, notwithstanding nu merous denials, was a diplomatic one, and extremely important, as bearing upon the pending struggle between the government and the rebels. He carried the assurance to the leaders in the rebellion that the Em peror of the French does not recog nize them as a power among nations; that they must not expect recogni tion; that the blockade is considered perfectly effectual ; that they are fairly beaten in arms, and that their independence as a nation is impossi ble. They were further assured that the destrugtion.of cotton and tobac co, as threatened, would be a most serious injury to the cause; that a resort to guerilla warfare wou'd not be tolerated, as it would be simply a return to barbarism, and that a ces sation of hostilities is a duty they owe to themselves and to the world. At the same time M. Mercier car ried assurances that President Lin coln's Administration would be held to a strict observance of the pro gramme with which it started to combat the rebellion—the restora tion of the Union on the basis of the Constitution, with the inherent rights of all the States preserved. Of course, the object of the French Minister's visit was perfectly under stood in Washington, and fully ap proved. E. THE PULASKI FIGHT. LOUISVILLE, May 6.—Captains Hazlett and McKinney, Lieuts.

INDICTMENT FOB TREASON QUASH- ED CINCINNATI, May, 7.—ln the United States Circuit Court, April 1, 1861, the Grand Jury found an indictment for•trea son against James W. Chenaweth, for fur nishing supplies and munitions of ivar to the rebels. At the present term, ex-Senator Pugh, counsel for defendant, moved to quash the indictment, on the ground that the first clause, section 3d, article third, of the Constitution, which provides that treason shall consist only in levying war, refers to the rebellion; while the second clause, or adhering to their enemies in giving aid and comfort, relates only to a public war with a foreign enemy. justice Swain gave his decision yester day sastaining the motion by squashing the indictment, HOICICIDE.-4. few days ago, Mr. Sam'l Sloan, p Parartioent merchant of Cape Gir ardeau, Mo., was shot and instant 4 killed in that place by a lady, wife of a tekaut -*ln* n • Probable Evacuation or Cap ' tare of Norfolk. PAILADELPHIA, May 10.—Specials to to-day's Inquirer say : It is ru mored that information has been re ceived here, of the highest import ance, relative to the city of Norfolk, and a few hours may reveal the fact that Norfolk has been either evacua ted, or captured by Burnside. A private letter from an officer in the Army of tne Potomac, to the Sen ate, dated Bth inst., says : "We have whipped 50,000 of the rebels' best troops, led on by Joe Johnston in person, and our noble troops have shown conclusively that the Yankees are much better soldiers than Dixie's best. The Rebels fought weil until Han cock gave them the bayonet, when they took to their heels and ran like hounds. Franklin is near West Point, and was engaged with the enemy all day yesterday He considers the day's operations a success. We are push ing up heavy reinforcements. This must demoralize the rebels greatly. An Inquirer special, dated Fortrese Monroe, says : A council of war was held iu Norfolk last Friday, ac cording to statements of refugees.— The Secretary of War, G. W. Ran dolph, and Mallory, the Secretary of the Navy, ' Gen. Huger, Brig. Gen. Blanchard, and the Colonels of dif ferent regiments stationed at Nor folk and Portsmouth, were in at tendance, and the result was a de termination to evacuate Norfolk. The evacuation was immediately commenced. A body of rebel troops were sent to the support of 'Magruder and Johnston. The guns and ma chinery of the .Navy Yard are being shipped to Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina. The Commissary stores are mostly shipped to Peters burg and Richmond. The heavy guns are being dismounted at all the batteries and a few rounds only of ammunition for each gun are left. Commodore Lee says there shall not be a brick standing in the navy yard, hospital, &c., &c. Many fami lies aro removing their effects, but the majority will remain. Great ex citement exists at the anticipated ar rival of the Union forces. Gen. Burnside is said to be moving up the Roanoke and Chowan rivers to cut off the rebel retreat from Norfolk. The majority of the citizens in Nor folk and Portsmouth are Union, and the leading secessionists propose to remain and take the oath of 'alle giance. Corn. Tatnall is still in com mand of the Merrimac. Corn. Bu chanan is not dead, neither has his leg been amputated. He is at Nor folk; but very feeble. General McClellan is reported within fifteen miles of Richmond. The Surrender of Norfolk ! ! Gon. Wool Takes Possession Without Opposition. NORFOLK, May 10-6 r. Wool has just entered the city in company with the Mayor, W. W. Lamb, and a committee of the city government. The last of the rebel troops left this morning, and the city was left by Gen. Huger in care of the Mayor, as the representative of the civil power, ! On the appearance of our troops, the Mayor went with a flag of truce to the City Council, and arrange ; ments were soon made between the Mayor and Gen. Wool that the city ! should be given up, on the promise of Gen. Wool that private property should be respected. We arrived at Norfolk, after a 1 tiresome march, at five o'clock, with ; out firing a gun, and found that the whole rebel force had departed. The i last of them had loft that morning. Mayor Lamb, with a committee of the city authorities, having been authorized for the purpose, met Gen. Wool with a flag of truce at city lim its, and after a consultation the city I was surrendered to the United States forces.

This compound will be found a great promoter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humors which tester in the blood at that season of the year. By he timely expulsion of them many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of 10111 eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this throu_h the natural channels of the body by a,, alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting throiigh the skin in pimples, eruptions. Or sores ; cleanse it when you Awl it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is telt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but with the pabu lum of life disordered, there can he no lasting health. i.‘ooteit or later something must go wrong, and the great inachi:•ery of life N disordered or overthrown. . . ll uring late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla fur one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon t he sick, t'or they not only contain little if ally Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsa parilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become syn o nomous with imposition and cite t. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for be lieving it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordi nary run of the diseases it is hill:1141W to cure. Prepared by he. .1. C. AYRC & CO., Lowell, Mass.
