Company A was ordered to • •py as skirmishers and support a sec of Knapp's Pennsylvania battery, • eh mustered about forty men. 'AI the meantime the Lieut. Col. of the '9th infantry, with tisinall detachment of • men, who had been acting as a pioneer corps, also formed and prepared to receive . he enemy. Our battery was soon engaged and die -A-tamed shot and shell for nearly two hours, and until all their :munition had almost been expended. The firing was spirited, and there is no doubt of its effica cy. Unable, however, to withstand such an overwhelming force, the order was given to retire, which was done, and the entire col ;-sn moved over the Shenandoah river, 1,,t retreat being covered by a company of t: - .‘ e sth New York cavalry, about eighty strong; Whilst passing over the bridge the Car Lain distinctly saw the rebel force. There was a very strong column of cavalry, say sour squadrons of eight companies, and five regiments of infantry. Of this force two regiments of infantry and two of cav alry were fording the stream, the water be ing very low. The order "double quick" was given, and the Union troops took to the pike, where another stand was made, Colonel Renley addressing the men: and telling them that their only chance was to stand and fight to the last, especially as the reb el cavalry were fast pushing on and dis playing the black flag. Capt. Smith states that he did not see ;hem display the white flag, as was repre -nted in a previous account. A second r.y:nd was made and many shots ex cnanged, when the New York cavalry, who were still in the rear of the column broke and retreated riding pell mell through the ranks of the infantry. A party of the Maryland command re- Lreated to a wheat field and then made still another stand, firing rapidly and with deliberate precision. Presently on came the rebel cavalry, cutting right and left yelling like Indians. In some instances neither the dying nor wounded were spared, and in two instances the Captain saw the rebels draw their pis tols and shoat them in the head whilst ly ing on the roadside. The Captain told the men they had better return to the pike and escape as best they could. He had not proceeded far until a cavalry officer rode up to him and demanded his sword and pistol, which he threw upon the ground—the rebel at the•same time draw ing a pistol upon him. In the confusion, however, he succeeded in regaining his pistol, and observing a rebel shoot one of the First Maryland regiment, he drew it and shot him, and succeeded with the as sistance of Lieut. Camphor, in securing the rebel's horse and riding off. After proceeding about two miles, they came across the ambulance in which Col. Kepley lay, attended by Surgeon Mitchell, of the regiment. The vehicle was passing along the pike, and been repeatedly fired into by the rebel cavalry. Finding them selves closely pursued they abandoned the horse, and leaping several fences took to the woods, where they managed to con ceal themselves, and the enemy gave up the chase. There were but six companies of the First Maryland regiment engaged' in the fight, the remaining four being on picket duty ani acting as provost guard at Front Royal. Gen.

THE BRUN, DEMI TO -CAPTURE BANZir IffROLE 001VAID. Otatoont to the War Department. WasllimeroN, May 27.--The following was received at the War Department at 11 o'clock, p. m. WILLIAMSPORT, 4 p. in., May 27.—T0 the President—l have the honor to report the safe arrival of my command at this place, last evening at ten o'clock, and the . pas sage of the Fifth Corps across the river to day with comparatively little loss. The loss of men killed, wounded and missing, in the different combats in which my com mand has participated since the march from Strausburg, -on the morning of the 24th inst., I am now unable to report, but I have great gratification in being able to represent that although serious it is much less than might have been anticipated, considering the very great disparsity of forces engaged, which aimed at nothing less than the capture of our force. A de tailed statement will be forwarded as soon as possible. My command encountered the enemy in a constant succession of attacks, and in well contested engagements, at Strausburg, Middletown, Newton, at a point between these places, and at Winchester. The force of the enemy was estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000 men, with very strong ar tillery and cavalry supports. My own force consisted of two Brigades, less than four thousand strong, all told, 1,500 cav alry, ten Parrott guns and six smooth bore. The substantial preservation of the en tire supply is a source of gratification. It numbered about 500 wagons. On a forced march of fifty-three miles, thirty-five of which was performed in one day, subject to constant attack in front; rear and flank, accord!ng to its position, by an enemy in full force, the panics of teamsters and the mischances of a river passage of more than 300 yards width, slender preparations for food and ferry, it lost not many more than fifty wagons.— A full statement of this loss will be for warded forthwith. Very great commendation is due Capt. S. B. Hollabird, A. Q. M., and Capt. E. G. Beckwith, for the safety of the train.— Our troops are in good spirits and occupy both sides of the river. N. P. BANKS, Major General Commanding Important from Mexico--The French De- feated--Five Hundred Killed. WASHINGTON, May 26.—Semi-official dispatches, received to-day, under date of Orizaba, May 9th, say the French troops had advanced within three leagues oT that city, where they encountered a force of ten thousand Mexicans, who attacked them with success, killing five hundred of the in vaders. It does not seem, from the facts in the dispatches, that President Juarez and his cabinet nad fled from the city of Mexico to Queretaro, as recently, stated in the news papers. • WASHINGTON, May 27.—A gentleman who has just arrived here on official business from the City of Mexico, having left there ou the sth inst., reports dot towards the latter part of last month the British Minis ter, Chas. Wyke, concluded a treaty at Pueblo with Sr. Doblado. by which all difficulties with English were amicably set tled, and had it not been for the sudden ac tion of the French a treaty with Spai Would have been concluded also by Sr. Doblado and Gen. Prim. The latter per son left, however, the shores of Mexico on good terms with the Juarez Government, and a minister will be sent to Madrid to arrange satisfactorily all matters in dis pute. The President of the United States, in reply to a resolution of the House of Rep resentatives, asking, if not incompatible with the public interests, to be furnished with copies of such correspondence as may have been received since the late message, relative to the condition of affairs in Mex ico, and the breaking up of the treaty with the latter by the allied powers, says it is deemed expedient to comply with the re quest to-day. SKIRMISH NEAR SEARCEY BAEESVILLE, Ark., May 51.—Quite spirited skirmish took place on the 10th near Searcey, on the Little Rock river, be tween about 150 men of Gen. Osterhause's division and some 600 rebels under Cols. Coleman and Hicks, in which the latter were routed with a loss of 150 left on the field and quite a number wounded. Our loss was 15 killed and 34 wounded. CORINTH REPORTED OURS !! PLIILADELPILIA, May 30th.—I have it on good authority that Corinth is ours. Par ticulars as soon as received. E. THE REPORT CONFIRMED. WAR DEPARTMENT, May 30.—A dispatch just received, fully corroborates the former message that Corinth is evacuated by the rebels, and occupied by our troops. Pris oners say tlikt the enemy left last night for Okaloon , a point about one hundred and fitly milee south of Corinth, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. An Important Battle and Victo- ry at Hanover Court House. The affair at Hanover Court House, North of Richmond, turns out to be much more important than was supposed from the meagre official dispatch sent out from the I ;Var Department. It now appears • there has been a severe battle there, re sulting in the complete rout of the enemy. The rebel loss in killed and wounded is set down at one thousand, and cur loss at three hundred and seventy-nine killed, wounded and missing, of whom fifty-three were killed. One hundred of the enemy's dead were buried on the field by our men. Five hundred were taken prisoners, and more were coming in. The rebels in this action were mostly from Georgia and North Carolina. The Battle at Banover Court House---. Three Fights and Three Tictorles--Robel Lou In Killed, Wounded and Miss ing. In the Herald we find a very full account of the late battle at Hano ver Court House, in which -the ene my lost so heavily, and in which such important results were secured on our side. The letter, dated 27th, begins thus:—lt has been a busy day with some of the troops under -General Fitz John Porte,r, and one of hard work and hard fighting.— Three fights with the enemy, three times whipping them, killing and wounding three -times more than were killed and wounded on our side, and capturing thrice three times as many prisoners, in the day's work and victories epitomized.— General Fitz John Porter's troops have shown the stuff they were made of, and have added lustre to the' fame they had won in front of Yorktown, and have covered them selves with additional glory. Our loss in the three engagements, it is estimated, will not exceed, killed, wounded and missing, one hundred .and thirty, while that of the enemy cannot fall short of three hundred. The rebels probably captured about thirty of our men, and we have taken nearly three hundred of theirs. We have not time for further ex tracts, but condense a connected ac count of the engagement. Our troops were on the route by four, A. M., thinking they were going right on to Richmond. The rain and mud were awful all along the route.— ' The Hanover Court House road was taken, the Sixth Cavalry taking the lead—two companies advancing as skirmishers. They were followed by a regiment of infantry, who also acted as skirmishers, plunging right and left into the bushes, and keeping a keen eye ahead. The batteries and brigades came next. About 6 miles from. Hanover mounted rebel pickets were seen. Our cavalry pursued and shot one of their men, who fell dead from his horse, and captured two prisoners. They belonged to the 2d Virginia Cavalry, and were well armed and rode fine horses. No more was seen of the rebel pickets. The First Engagement with the Enemy. A little before noon the advance of the column had turned the road, about three miles from Hanover Court House. Twelve miles had now been marched. Three hours be fore the rain bad ceased, the clouds broken away, and the march from that time had been under the scorch ing lays of a torrid sun. Our men were fatigued and languid. The Twenty-fifth Regiment New York Volunteers, Colonel Johnson, was ahead. The enemy, who lay concealed in Dr. Kenney's house, and in the woods opposite, allowed the left wing to get well advanced and then opened fire upon them. Col. John son left the woods and came on with his skirmishers, at the same time or dering up the reserves and forming them in line of battle. A quick vol ley of musketry was opened upon them from the woods on the right. The balls whistled furiously. At the first volley several fell dead, and others became helpless from wounds. The New Yorkers showed pluck, closed ranks and returned volley fter volley. Our field officers were marked out, and several of them se verely wounded. Our artillery soon came up, and Berdan's Sharpshooters took their places as support, being in front, a little on the left. The batteries fired vigorously. Those of the enemy threw shell, canister and grape. Ours responded with shell and solid shot. Shot and shell flew fast and furious. The sharpshooters opened their deadly fire, lying in their usual style, on their stomachs. A rebel head no sooner showed it self from b‘hind a tree than one of their unerri bullets would strike another from the list of fighting rebels. • It was hot work for a time. During the progress of the fight they made a brilliant charge, taking one of the enemy's cannon. The Enemy Find It too Hot and Retreat. Soon Butterfield's, Martindale's and M.eQuade's brigades came up, commanded by Gen. Morrill, and a heavy and deadly firing commenced. For nearly two hours a sheet of fire blazed from our column. The rebels returned the fire, but their bullets and grape and canister wont too high. It was evident that they fired their muskets at random, probably from behind trees, keeping the bod ies concealed and not daring to take aim. When they retreated, as our firing compelled them to do at length, our musketry told upon them with most deadly effect. Meantime the work of shelling them out went on vigorously. It was nearly two hours before they were driven from the woods. The work of expulsion had been determined upon, and it was carried out to most important re sults. For about an hour and a half there was a cessation of firing. It was time not idly spent. Gen. Fitz John Porter was by this time on the ground. He ordered a pursuit of the enemy by Gcn. Butterfield's and Col. McQuade's Brigades, Gen. Morrill and staff joining the chase. Through grain fields, marches and thick woods our men pushed after the retreating foe. They moved with the vigor of fresh troops.— This chase gave our men nearly six miles additional travel, including their return. . Visit to the Railroad—Rebel Train Stop ped. While the pursuit was in progress Martindale's brigade were ordered to the Virginia Central Railroad. The regiments entered upon the execu tion of their difficult and dangerous mission. On the way they were fired. ,upon and one of the cavalry men .killed; This was all the loss sustained. Marching up to the Rail road, they could spot have made a more daring demonstration if the whole army of the Potomac had been at their heels. A rebel train was just corniqg from the direction of Richmond, and appeared in sight as our men reached the road. The engineer, in obedience, no doubt, to the order of some frightened rebel General—far it must have been, as subsequent events showed, an arrival of reinforcements from Richmond— reversed the engine in double quick time and backed the train out of sight. Our troops at once proceeded without molestation to do good work by destroying about forty rods of the railroad, burning a bridge, and put ting an end to further immediate telegraphic communication between Fredericksburg and Richmond.— Thiq accomplished, they withdrew to their brigades. Second Engagement---Ilospitals Fired Into After the lapse of two hours firing was again resumed. The scene in the second engagement was in the open field and woods. Foremostly the rebels—the reinforcements un doubtedly brought from Richmond on the railroad—commenced firing upon two houses used as hospitals, disregarding, as usual, the flags floating from the roof. The 44th New York regiment, Col. Stryker, was ordered to advance as skirmish ers upon the woods in front. They had not gone far before they saw that the •,roods were filled with reb els. And now began the second en gagement with earnestness. Gen. regiments, including the gallant 25th New York, which looked like a skeleton after the or deal of iron hail it had passed through, were drawn up in lino of battle. The contest waxed hotter and hot ter. Our men poured in volley after volley into the thick woods, while the batteires fired broadsides from their guns. The enemy returned the fire with vigor, but they did not dare eome from the woods, and they found every attempt to break our lines unavailing. Not a man on one side flinched. Every officer faced the music with heroic valor. The firing on both sides was tremendous. As fast as one of our men fell he was conveyed to the ambulance, in the rear, and the ranks closed up.— "Well done, my boys," said Captain Griffin, slapping one of his Parrotts in hearty approval. And his guns did do well, as also Capt. Benson's. They sent the shells scattering over the enemy's ambuscade with great liveliness: The brigade and batteries had it all to themselves for nearly an hour, giving cheer after cheer as they fired, and firing with the regu larity of clock work. The Rebels Run Our galling fire was too much for the enemy. They °retreated from their position, and we were masters of the field. As in the first fight, the enemy wasted most of their mus ketry, while the range of their artil lery was too high. Our loss was accordingly light for the time our men were engaged, and considering their exposure to the enemy's fire.— The rebel loss was heavy, as seen from subsequent examination of the woods. the Third and Most Desperate Engage- meat Now comes the largest and most decisive, if not the most brilliant, demonstration of the day. The re vival of artillery and musketay roar, with intelligence sent by Gen. Mar tindale to Gen. Porter that there had been a large arrival of reinforce ments, brought back the absent bri gades, And they came back with impetuous and joyous haste. The enemy, it was ascertained, had shift ed their position into the woods. A prisoner who had been captured in the last engagement said their were twenty thousand rebels in the wood and along the railroad. The same programme was adopted to drive out the enemy—viz : a free use of musketry and shell. Gen.. Porter ordered the artillery to plant them selves in the road facing the wood, and on the right of the field, each pouring in diagonal fires, while the infantry filled up the centre. Gen. Butterfield's brigade headed the in fantry column. Our Troops Fight Well and Steadily, The cheering of the men as they advanced on the double quick, and steadily, undaunted and incessant fi ring of musketry and shell, were nev er surpassed on any battle field. It was a little after five o'clock when the firing commenced. It was kept up with unequalled vigor and fearful slaughter of the enemy until night closed on the scene. The enemy had a third time been driven back, and the day was ours. lie did not dare to come out and take the chance of a fair open field engagement, but in the retreat stuck to the woods with obstinacy. how shall I describe these two hours' fighting. If there was ever fiery ardor and brilliancy of combat, it was then. If ever fear lessness was shown on the field, it was then General Porter displayed conspicuous gallantry during the en tire engagement, and so did General Morrill, conducting the division, and Generals Butterfield and Martindale, who headed their brigades. I could not speak too praisingly of the dif ferent staff officers. Prisoners-Georgians Refuse to Fight. The prisoners are of all ages, sizes, complexions arms and dress. Some are talkative ; most are silent. A largo number are conscripts, who have no unifams or pretensions to any. I find that the bitterest feel ing exists relative to the drafting of soldiers in progress in the rebel States. One prisoner told me that he had paid three hundred dollars to two men to go as his substitutes. Both his Representatives deserted, and he had been obliged to come himself, being unable for love or money to induce a third one to take his place. Another, giving his name as Josiah W. Barger, of Catawba, N. C., showed me a letter from his father, dated the 11th inst. In this letter the fact was stated that three thousand Georgians, whose term of enlistment had expired, were told that they must continue in the serv ice. They loaded their grins, and of ficers and all refused to obey the or der, and no one dared attempt to make them do it. The result was that the regiments bad disbanded and gone home. Those who gave any expression of opinion, spoke ad versely of the war, and were loud in .condemning the leaders who had brought it about. All said, however, that the enemy would resist to their utmost the capture of Richmond.-- As with prisoners heretofore taken, they were surprised at the kindness with which they were treated. Friendly pickets at Coruith—lmportant Southern News. BEFORE CORINTH, May 27.—Gen eral HaHeck has issued an order pro hibiting skermishing by pickets.— The pickets on each side are now friendly, and within a distance for conversation, which they improve. Last night five rebel pickets, includ ing one Sergeant, came over. All along the line our forces are within two miles of the rebel works. In some places our heavy guns are within battering distance, but dense woodlands intervening prevent either party from opening fire. Camp rumors say Vicksburg has surrendered, and that our fleet was en route to Memphis. GEN. HALLECK'S OFFICIAL REPORT. WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINiITON, May N.—The following has just been received at the War Department: HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT MISSISSIPPI, CAMP ON CORINTH ROAD, May 28th, 1862.—T0 the Hon. E. 31 - . S'anton, Secretary of War: Three strong reconnoitering parties advanced this morning on the right, centre, and left, to feel the enemy and unmask his batteries. The enemy hotly contested his ground at each point, but was driven back with con siderable loss. The column on the left en countered the strongest opposition. Our loss was twenty-five killed and wounded. The enemy left thirty dead on the field.— Their losses at other points are not yet as certained. Some five or six officers and a number of privates were captured. The fighting will probably be renewed to-mor row morning at daybreak. The whole country is so thickly wooded that we are compelled to feel our way. (Signed) H. W. lIALLECK, Major General. Uprising of the Rebels in West Tennessee ST. Louts, May 29.—A Cairo special to the Republican.says : Trouble are breaking out afresh in Western Tennessee. A con siderable force of rebels are said to be at Trenton, ready to march on Union City and Hickman. The Union men from Weakly and Obion counties were flocking to Hickman for protection. Four or five hundred rebel cavalry are stationed near the mouth of Obion river, awaiting the draining of the swamps in the region to plant a battery to prevent the passage of our transports on the Mississippi. Parol ed prisoners from New Orleans on the 18th say that General Lovell's forces are station ed at Camp Moore, •Jackson, Mississippi. The Rebel Retreat from Corinth ! LARGE NUMBER OF PRISONERS TAKGN! Richmond Reported Evacuated and Mem phis Destroyed. CORINTH, May 30.—1 t is now ascer tained that the evacuation com menced night before last, the enemy retreating south wardly until the bridge was burned, when they wen t westwardly to Grand Junction and thence southwardly. Some ladies and several citizens remain here. The citizens inform us that Richmond is evacuated, and Memphis almost wholly deserted, all the stores being closed with the ex ception of a few groceries. It is ascertained that General Van Dorn had a band of Indians under him. Col. Jackson reports finding the road for several miles strewn with knapsacks and haversacks, arms and canteens, showing great demoralization. The woods are full of stragglers, being brought in as fast as possible, probably between two and three thousand. Almost the entire Thirteenth Louisiana is in our lines now, from deserters and those recently cap tured. The Federal telegraph line was completed here td--night. ST. Louis, May 29.—Special dis patches from Cairo to the, Republi can says : Troubles are breaking out fresh in Western Tennessee- A considerable force of rel els are said to be at Tren ton ready to march on Union City and Hickman. Union men from Weakly and Obion counties were flocking to _Rickman for protection. Four or five hundred rebel cavalry are stationed near the mouth of Obion river, awaiting the draining of swamps in that region to plant their battery and prevent the pass age of our troops on the Mississippi. A paroled prisoner from New Or leans on the Pith says that General Lovell's forces are still at camp near Jackson, Mississippi, FIRE IN BROWNSVILLE. On Friday night 25 ult., the house of Gottlieb Klinesorger, baker, of Brownsville, took fire by accident and was, notwithstanding the efforts of the citizens, destroyed, together with the office of Isaac Baily, Esq., his books, office furniture and some valuable papers; the shoe shop of Mr. Ferguson ; the shoe store of Mrs. M. Isler, and the grocery of Charles Marquis. There was no as surance except t:on Blinesorger's house, his loss being nearly covered. Another Desperate Sunday Battle ! ! GLORIOUS VICTORY FOR WITLELLAN! Our Loss Very Severe but that of the Ene- my Enormotis ! ! MANY BRILLIANT BAYO NET CHARGES! Gen. Pettigrew and Col. Long Prisoners--- Gen. McClellan Guided from the Bal loon---A Large Number of Prisimers Taken—Corps of Keyes, Sumner and Heintzelman Engaged Against Greatly Superior Numbers. FROM THE FIELD OF BATTLE, June Ist, 1862, M. 1 7 To the Hon. E. M. STANTON, Secre tary of War :—We have had a des perate battle, in which the corps of Generals Sumner. Heintzelman and Keyes have been engaged against greatly superior numbers. Yesterday, (Saturday,) the enemy taking advantage of a terrible storm which had flooded the Valley of the Chiekahominy, attacked our troops on the right flank. Casey's Division, which was in the first line, gave way unaccountably, arid this caused a temporary contu sion, during which the guns and baggage were left, but Generals Heintzeiman and Kearney most gal lantly brought up their troops, which checked the enemy, and, at the same time, however, succeeded by great exertions in bringing across Sedgwick's and Richardson's divis ions, who drove back the enemy at the point of the bayonet, covering the ground with his dead. This morning the enemy attempt ed to renew the conflict, but was every where repulsed. We have taken many prisoners, among whom are Gen. Pettigrew and Col. Long. Our,loss is heavy, but that of the enemy must be enormous. With the exception :if Casey's Division, the men behaved splendidly. Several fine bayonet charges have been made. The Second Excelsior made two to-day. (Signed,) GEO. B. MCCLELLAN, Maj. Gen. Com'dg WASHINGTON, June 2.—During the whole of the battle this morning, Prof. Lowe's balloon was overlook ing the terrific scene from an altitude of about two thousand feet. Telegraphic communication from the balloon to Gen. McClellan and in direct connection with the milita ry- wires was successfully maintained, Mr. Park Spring, of Philedelphia, acting as operator. Every move ment of the enemy was obvious, and instantly reported. This is believed to be the first time in which a balloon reconnois sance has been successfully- made dur ing a battle, and certainly the first time in which a telegraph station has been established in the air to report the movements of the enemy and the progress of a battle. The advantage to Gen. McClellan must have been immernie. Important From Corinth. Masterly Retreat of the Rebels ! They Have Been Gone for a Week ! ! NEVER HAD MORE THAN 60,000. Great Mortification of our Army. &c., &c, Coarvrtr, May 31, via CAIRO, June I.—A special dispat , ,th to the New York Tribune say Yesterday morning our reserve divisions were brought up, and our entire front moved forward, the men having two days rations in their haversacks. During the day we kept up a tre menduous cannonading, shelling the woods furiously. The rebels hardly showed themselves, but replied feeb ly with a few shots. Last night we threw up breast works along the entire front, and slept on our arms within a thousand yards of the enemy's breastworks. At six o'clock this morning Pope entered Corinth, without the slight est resistance, and took possession. At the same time the Mayor, who had come out on a different road, met a Gen. Nelson, and surrendered the town to him. There were no inhabitants re maining, except women, and children and old men ; the rebels succeeded in carrying away absolutely every thing, except a few provisions, IN hich, with the warehouses and railroad de pot, were burned before we arrived. They took every invalid from the hospital. and every letter from the post office. They did not leave a single gun, and had been moving away troops wore than six days and stores two weeks. The most of the troops have gone towards Grand Juncti )n. The rebel rear guard, under Gen. Bragg, 10, 000 strong, marched Southward at midnight. Citizens assert positively that Beauregard was there in person and left with it. All ccmcur that never more than 60,000 ;troops were there at once, and usually much less. The rebel fortifications were five miles in ex te.nt, extending from tke Memphis and Charleston Railroad to the M. and O. Railroad, but they were much weaker than we supposed.— They could have been stormed at any time. The few prisoners we have are de serters from the rebel rear guard.— There is great mortification in our army. I have these details from one who was there in person. Evacuation of Martinsburg and Charlemton TO eailroad Again in Operation NEW YORK, June 2.—A special dis patch to the Tribune, dated Harper's Ferry, to-day, says : All is quiet here. The rebels have eva cuat4td Martinsburg and Charlestown. T damage by the rebels to the Birti more and Ohio Railroad is trifling. The road can be put in operation to the Ohio river within two days, The Union cavalry occupied Martins burg and several miles beyond. The Union refugees in large numbers are returning to their homes. ARRIVAL or PRIVATEERS. UNION MEETING IN NORFOLK. FORTRESS MONROE, June I.—The S. H. Spaulding arrived this after noon from New York, with the pri vateers and others from Fort Hamil ton. They will probably go up James river to-morrow. A Union meeting was held in Nor folk last night. Mayor Segar made a speech. There was great enthusi asm, with cheers for the Stars and Stripes. The meeting was arranged on short notice, but a more exten sive demonstration will take place in a few days. Union Sentiment Increasing in North Carolina—Communication with General Burnside--The Rebel Army in Richmond. .NORFOLK, May 3u.—Col. Hawkins, of-the Ninth New York regiment, with twenty men, arrived here from Port Royal last night, having left Roanoke Island yesterday morning, and passed up by way of Cherituck Sound, and thence by canal to Eliza beth River. Thus the inland route is opened by which General Burn side's department may communicate with the Capital without the risks of the passage outside of Hatteras.— Col. _Hawkins is not the first to ar rive here by the canal, several sloops and schooners flying the American flag having already come through and been allowed to proceed to Bal timore. There was no late news from Newbern, or other points in the department of North Carolina. Preparations are making on in an extensive scale for a grand Union demonstration there shortly. The oath of allegiance has been administered, up to this time, to near ly two thousand citizens. They offer themselves in large numbers every day to take it, voluntarily, and it is not made compulsory upon any one. If the sentiment of the proposed meeting should be satisfactory to Gen. Wool, it will probably induce the President to open the port. A report comes in from our scouts who are advanced some miles beyond Suffolk, that the city of Petersburgh is to be, or has been evacuated by the rebels. The Seaboard and Roa noke Railroad, it has been ascertain ed, is in good order as far as Black Water River. When Craney Island was evacua ted, the sutler loaded his goods on a sloop and endeavored to save them. The sloop was found to-day, and the goods a few miles below the Island upon the beach. The property, sup posed to be worth $3,000 or $4,000 was taken charge of by the Provost Marshal. Two fugitives arrived here yester day direct from Richmond They report the army as 200, 0 0 0 strong in that vicinity, among whom, both officers and men, great dissatisfaction prevails. They were living on half rations of bacon and bread. The fugitives state that Jeff. Davis had been heard to say that he would make the streets of the city run with blood before sur rendering. By the special invitation of the officers of the British war steamer Rinaldo, Gen. Viele, military gover nor of the city, paid a visit to that vessel yesterday. He was.received with the greatest kindness and cour tesy, and with a salute of seventeen guns, and with a manning of the yards. The American ensign was displayed at the fore, and no doubt could remain of the sympathies of the officers in the suppression of the rebellion. COL KENLY'S COMMAND. The Harrisburg Telegraph of Tuesday, says: "Between forty and fifty men of the Ist Maryland regiment, Col. Kenly's command, who participated in_ the disas trous fight at Front Royal, last Friday, arrived here at 11 o'clock yesterday, di rect from Winchester, Va., via the Balti more and Ohio and Cumberland Valley railroads. Some of the party were slight ly wouuded, and all bore evidence of hav ing endured much fatigue and hard usage. Their statements respecting the affair at Front Royal, and the subsequent battle at Winchester, are very little different from those winch previously reached us by tel egraph. They confirm the report that during their engagement at Front Royal the ret.els granted no quarter, killing the y wounded without mercy, and even disfigu ring the bodies of those already dead.
