The Whole Rebel Army in a Panic
OUR ARMY STILL IN HOT PURSUIT
Dispatch from General McClellan.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OP THE POTOMAC, }
May 4, 1862.
This morning, at five o'clock, your corres
pondent entered the enemy's works, which the
rear of their army deserted four hours before.
Everything was found to be in utter confu
sion, as though they had left in great haste.
Between forty and fifty pieces of heavy artil
lery have been left in their works after being
spiked, together with a large amount of am
munition, medical stores, camp equippage,
tents, and the private property of their officers.
A negro, who was left in the town, states
that the rebels threw a large amount of ord
nance stores into the river to prevent their
falling into our hands.
Several deserters have succeeded in running
Into our lines, one of them a very intelligent
man from New York, who had been connected
with the ordnance Deparrinent ever since the
works at Yorktown bad been constructed.
He states that the rebels evacuated owing to
the bear approach of our parallels covering the
immense lirge works of our men. That they
feared the success of the Union gunboats in the
York and James rivers, by means of which their
communication with the outer world would be
cut off.
The order was given to evacuate by General
Johnston, on Thursday, to commence the fol
lowing morning, which was accordingly done.
Gen. Magruder is said to have most strenu
ously opposed the measure, stating tbatif they
could not whip the Federate, here there was no
other place in Vitginia where they could, and
that he swore in the presence of his men, who
vociferously cheered him, losing complete con
trol of himself.
Gen Robert E. Lee, the Commander-in-
Chief, arrived in Yorktown on Wednesday, and
minutely examined the works of M'Clellan,
when he itisupeoseil to have recommended the
abandonment of the works, deeming them un
tenable.
The deseiters all agree in stating that their
troops were very much demoralized and dissat
isfied when the order was made public, as they
all anticipated having an engagement at this
point. They also agree in the statement that
the rebels had 100,000 men on the Peninsula,
with 400 pieces of field artillery.
From the best intorm'ation received they have
fallen back to Chickahominy creek, beyond
Williamsburg, where it is expected they will
make a stand.
Immediately on the facts becoming known the
troops were ordered under arms, and are now in
motion from the right and left wing of the
army. A large force under General Stoneman,
consisting of cavalry, artillery and infantry, are
on the advance and will probably come up with
the rear of the enemy before night, if they re
main near Williamsburg.
The gun boats have passed above Yorktown
and are now shelling the shore on their way up.
Following them to a large steamer and vessels
loaded with troops Tibo will effect a landing.
Qen. Magruder swore he was not afraid of
Gen. l!ti'Clellan, if Gen. Lie was, and if he
could not successfully fight him here, he could
nowhere.
Only one men was left in Yorktown, and he
was a negro. Gen. Jameson and Cul. Samuel
Black were the first to enter the enemy's main
works. The only casualty that occurred was
the killing of two men and wounding of three,
by the explosion of a concealed shell within
the enemy's works. The following are their
names. 'they belong to Company A, Fortieth
New York: Killed—Geo. M'Farland and Mi
chael M'Dermott. Wounded—Sergeant James
Smith, Fred. Slack and Lawrence Burns.
The works are very extensive, and show that
they were designed by scientific engineers.
The rebels are badly demoralized, and evince
symptoms of mutiny on account of the re
treat.
Inside the fortifications, and along the Wil
liamsburg road, they have buried torpedoes and
purcussion shells, which are occasionally ex
ploding and injuring persons.
Geneial Johuston's baggage has just been
captured.
D. B. Lathrop, a telegraph operator, has been
mortally wounded by the explosion of a tor
pedo.
Another torpedo, att sched to it 13 inch shell
has just been discovered iu the telegraph office.
An official report just made to head quarters
shows that the enemy left seventy-one guns in
the works at Gioucebter Point. The ordinance
stores were also left.
Another deserter has just come in and reports
that Jeff Davis came with General Lee on
Wednesday last, and after a consultation with
the most prominent ufficers,all agreed as to the
evacuati.aa except Gen. Magruder.
LATER.
HEAD QUARTERS ARMY OF TOE POTOMAO,
lllay 4—Evening.
It is certain that the rebels received rein
forcements, by steamer, from Richmond, on
Thursday last, but they did not disembark.
Foaratss MoNIIOE, May 4.—The Merrimac
made her appearance beyond Sewall's Point at
one o'clock to day. She stopped off the Point,
and up to four o'clo e k bas not changed her lo
cation. sheis not attended by any other
gun boats
and it is supposed does not
asusual, .
intend visiting us to day.
The Monitor and other vessels of the naval
fleet are all in readiness for action on short
notice, and hoping that sbe will come d own.
The supposed design of the enemy is to
endeavor to prevent any of our boats from
entering James river to cut of the retreat from
Yorktown.
Three deserters arrived this mornin g in a
rebel schooner, report the evacuation of Mul.
berry Island and Jamestown early yesterday
morning.
FORTIMS .MoNno4 May 4.—The news re
ceived here this morning, of the evacuation of
Yorktown, took everybody by surprise. For
some days we have had evidence of the inten
tion of the enemy, but the testimony was not
strong enough to induce belief.
On its arrival, the news- was quickly circu
lated on shore and through the fleet, and the
greatest excitement was manifested.
WASUINGTON, May 4.—Gteat excited:eat ex
ists in the city over tbe news of the rebel retreat
from Yorktown. Various speculations are in
dulged in regard to the cause of the movement
and the cbject in view, but there is an almost
universal impression that the rebels will not
again be enabled to make a stand in Virginia,
and probably not in any other State.
THE LATEST.
BALTIMORE, May 6.-10 A.. M.---The Fortress
Monroe boat has just arrived, bringing the fol
lowing interesting intelligence:
One Mile Beyond Yorktown, Sunday Morning,
10 o'clock A. m.—All day yesterday the rebels
kept up a hot file on Porter's division but hurt
no one. Our Parrott gun at Farnholt Court
House occasionally answered them all last
evening, and up to 12 o'clock a lively firing
was kept up.
About that time it s 'ackened off considers
bly, and at 2 o'clock quite altogether.
We fired one or two more batteries on them
but got no answer.
About 3 A. x. a building in Yorktown was
fired and Prof. Lowe and Gen. lieintzlemau
went up and found it was their storehouse, at
Yorktown wharf.
At daylight they reported the forts empty.—
At seven o'clock A. m. we occupied Yorktown
without again being fired upon.
We rode through the works and found the
enemy's guns nearly all remaining spiked and
dismounted.
By the side of the river battery were large
piles of ammunition and powder, balls and
shells never having been used. •
Atout eighty guns are in Yorktown, which
is surrounded by a sead-circle of earthworks,
all constructed to cover one another.
It has been a very formidable position, but
must have eventually yielded could we have
got around them.
The gun we saw dismounted the other day
we learn killed and wounded fourkeen rebels.
The fort has been occupied by the first bat
tallion, New Orleans artillery; Bth and 13th
Alabama ; 10th and 14th Louisiana ; 13th and
14th Georgia regiments. These troops were
ordered to report at Howard's Grove four
miles from Richmond, and left the fort at mid
night.
Gen. McClellan ordered out the artillery and
cavalry, and is pushing after them at full
epeed.
All of our gunboats came up at 9 o'clock and
landed some marines at Gloucester, who raised
the United States flag amid cheering that could
be heard across the river.
A rear guard was left, who waited for onr
appearance, and then left in the greatest haste.
We converted with two deserters who leit
their regiweut in Williamsburg at daylight
They say that the whole rebel army is in a
panic.
Prof. Lowe's balloon was run in front, and
found their rear guard at 9 o'clock A. nr. four
miles our.
The boats all then left, and at this moment
are running up the York river, shelling both
sides of the river. A number of mines have
been prepared for our troops, by placing per
cussion shells under ground in the roadways
and the entrances to the fort.
No white folks and to be found, a few negro
women and babies only being seen.
The town is the most squalid and filthiest
place we have ever seen. A few days of warm
weather would have bred a pestilence.
Flour in abundance was left and a large
quantity of meat, salt and fresh.
All their tents have been left but no horses
or wagons were seen.
Ho sawn number of the shells fired from
oar parrott guns lying all around in the Fort
and in the rear.
Reports concur in saying that they have a
a mob of about one hundred thousand men,
ill fed, dirty and disheartened.
The news of the fall of New Orleans had
been received several days ago, and was known
through the camps.
The road from Yorktown to Hampton, on
which we were encamped, was guarded by Fcrt
Magruder, mounting a large number of guns,
and arranged to fire from all sides. Part of
these were taken away the rest were spiked and
left.
Some of their works are well built and well
laid out. ; others are wretched.
Work was ended upon them on Friday night
and the slaves were sent to the rear under
guard.
They have nothing behind which they can
make a stand. Last night their camp fires all
along were the same as usual.
The dense woods along the peninsula enabled
them to leave without being seen by the bal
loon.
Johnson, Lee and Magruder were all in York
town on Saturday hol nog a council of war.
We push on with the advance. We hope to
catch them to-night, or at least to demoralize
their rear with out artillery,
The roads from our encampment to York
town are laid with torpedoes, calculated to ex
plode as cavalry and artillery pass over them.
It is reporled that the last man was seen to
leave Yorktown at half-past four o'clock this
morning.
The large guns of the rebels were mostly
Columbiads, taken from the Norfolk Navy
Yard. Some of them had been quite recently
mounted, the derrick's ropes, Btc., remaining
with them.
'lbe fortifications, although of the roughest
character, are very formidable, being surround
ed by deep gorges across which it is almost
impi.ssible to pass.

ments about two miles this side of Williams
burg. A brush fight ensued. Just as my aid,
Lieut. Smith's division of infantry arrived or
the ground, and I presume carried his work
through. I have not yet heard.
The enemy's rear is strong, but I have force
enough up there to answer all purposes.
We have thus far seventy-one heavy guns,
large amounts of tents, ammunition, etc.
All along the lines their works prove to have
been most formidable, and I am now fully sat
isfied of the correctness of the course I have
pursued.
The success is brilliant and you may rest
assured that its effects will be of the greatest
importance.
There shall be no delay in following up the
rebels. The rebels have been guilty of, the
most murderous and barborous conduct in
placing torpedoes within the abandoned works,
near wells, near springs, near flag staffs, maga
zines, telegraph offices, in carpet bags, barrels
of flour, etc.
Fortunately we have, not lost many men in
this manner, some four or five killed and per
haps a dozen wounded. I shall make the priso
ners remove them at their own peril.

ESCAPE OF JEFF. DAVIS' COACHMAN.
His Report of Conversation Between
Davis and other Principal Rebels.
thlif VDi CI ' 41 la :V tfll
Mrs. Davis Admits the Southern Confed-
eracy "About Played Out."
PRESIDENT DAVIS' DUDS PACKED
READY TO LEAVE.
A GENERAL SMASH UP EXPECTED
The following statement has reached Wash
ington. It is contained in a letter dated yes
terday on the Rappahannock.
A colored man came in to-day from the other
side of the river and reported himself as Jeff.
Davis coachman.
From an examination of him this appears to
be the truth. He reports scraps of conversa
tion which he overheard whilst driving Mr. and
Mrs. Davis in the carriage, and between Mrs.
Davis and those who came to see him. Mrs.
Davis and Gen. J. E. Johnston had some heat
ed discussions about the latter's retreat from
Manassas, Davis disapproving of the measure.
He had ordered a stand to be made at Gordon
vine which Johnson 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 Geo. Magruder.
The coachman overheard the conversation
between General Johnston and Davis' wife, the
former saying that if he bad not left Manassas
when he did, Gen. Ill'Olellan would have come
out against him and cut him to pieces.
Mrs. Davis read an article from the Richmond
Examiner to her husband, saying that it was a
part of the Yankee plans that Generals Banks
and McDowell were to form a junction in Louisa
or Carolina county and move down on Rich
mond.
Davis remarked that he thought it was so,
but his generals would take care of them.
The coachman overheard a conversation be
tween Davis and Dr. Gwin, formerly U. S.
Senator from California. Davis said that he
had sent gen. J. R. Anderson from North Car
olina to resist the march of the Federals from
Fredericksburg, and to delay them long enough
for him to see the probable result of the con
test before Yorktown, so that if it was likely
to be unsuccessful, he would have time to ex
tricate his army trom 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 Contederacy was about played out.
That if New Orleans was really taken she had
uo longer an interest in the matter, as all she
had was there, and that it was a great pity
they had ever attempted to hold Virginia and
the other non-cotton growing States. She also
said to Mrs. D. R. Jones, daughter of Col.
James Taylor, U. S. Commissary General of
Subsistence, who was very anxious to get to
Washington, where she had one of her child
ren, not to give herself any trouble, but to stay
where she was, and when the Yankees came
to Richmond she could go.
He says Mr. and Mrs. Davis have all their
books, clothing and pictures packed up ready to
move off. That there is much outspoken Union
feeling in Richmond; that having been a waiter
in the hotel, he knows all the Union men in
the place, and that the yankees are looked for
with much pleasure, more by the whites than
even the colored people.
Confederate money is nut taken when it can'
be avoided. Mrs. 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 as they aro half
starved.
Thu Bank and Government property are all
packed up to be moved to Danville, near the
North Carolina line. Gen. Johnson did not
think the rebels would succeed at Yorktown.
The coachman overheard an officer say, "that
if they failed at Yorktown and New Orleans
they would leave Virginia.
XXXVIIth Congress--First Session.
WASHINGTON, May b.
Mr. HARRIS, (N. J.) presented a petition in
favor of a general bankrupt act ; also a petition
asking that equal privileges be allowed to
certain newspapers.
Mr. TExzrox, (N. J.) offered a resolution that
the committee on military affairs be instructed
to inquire into the propriety of extending the
provisions of the act allowing one hundred dol
lars bounty to the volunteers honorauly dis
charged, or to such volunteers as may here
after be disabled by wounds and discharged.
Adopted
Mr. Wnson, (Mass.,) from the Committee on
Military affairs,
reported back the bill to limit
the number of Major Generals and Brigadier
Generals with amendments, making the num
ber of Major Generals thirty, instead of twenty.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr. HALE, (N. 11.0 moved to strike out two
hundred and insert a hundred and eighty as
the number of Brigadier Generale.
Mr. W.u.soN, (Mase.,) hoped the bill would
pass. -- He thought one hundred and fifty Brig
adier Generals were enough, but about one
hundred and ninety-five bad been sent here
for confirmation.
Mr. CLARK, (N. H.,) we ought to make the
bill according to the requirements of the ser
vice and not according to the number of ap
pointments. The chairmain of the Military
Committee thinks one hundred and fifty briga
dier-generals enough and yet we refuse fo cut the
number down because we have got two hun
dred appointments to act upon and have not
the manliness to strike any of them out.
Mr. WILSON said that be thought a hundred
and fifty Brigadier Generals were enough, but
the President and Secretary of War seemed to
think that more were necessary.
Mr. HALE. That would look as if we were
legislating for the salvation of the Brigadiers
and not for the salvation of the country.
The bill was then laid over.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. ALDRICH, (Mich.) introduced a bill in
demnifying the people of Kansas for losses and
depredations. Referred.
Mr. Tnoisaa, (Mass.,) introduced a bill for
the punishment of treason and the more ef
fectual suppression of the rebellion. Referred
to the Judiciary Committee.
The House passed thediall allowing such por
tion of the tax as may be assesssd to the various
States.
The House went into committee on the Pa
cific railroad bill.
FRED. A. Corntranci, (N. Y.) immediately
moved that the committee rise with the inten
tion to move a postponement of the bill till the
second Monday of December next. Motion
lost—yeas 34, nays 61.
A CANARD - SYMPATHISERS DISHEART-
The report that France and Spain contem
plated recognizing the so-called Southern Con
federacy, turns out, as we anticipated, a silly
canard, which originated first in Baltimore,
and was then reported in Washington.
The evacuation of Yorktown greatly dis
heartens the Secession sympathizers here.
