Information from Norfolk, received at

side port holes similar to those which were
over her end port boles when she first appeared.

to ten inches above the old levee water stand.
By the vigilance and exertions of the Mayor,

Shocking Treatment of our Killed
After. the Battle at Bull Run.
Report of the Committee *on the fondue
WASHINGTON, April 30.--The joint Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War have made .
a report in regard to the barbarous treatment
by the rebels at Manassas of the officers and
soldiers of the United States army, killed in
battle there. They examined a number of
witnesses, whose testimony is submitted. The
facts disclosed are of a repulsive, shocking,
and painful character. The Committee say
in eonelusion :
-Lovejoy, -o
The members of your Committee might
content themselves by leaving this testimony
to the Senate and the people without a word
of comment ; but when the enemies of a just
and generous Government are attempting to
excite the sympathy of. disloyal men in our
own country, and to solicinhe aid of foreign
governments by the gross misrepresentation
of the war, and of the conduct of the officers
and soldiers , of the republio--thie, the most
startling evidence of their insincerity. and-in
humanity, deserves some notice at our hands.
History will be examined in vain for a paral
lel to this rebellion..against a good govern
ment, long prepared for by ambitious men,
who were made .doubly confident of semis,
by the aid and council of former Administra
tions, and by tho belief thattheir plane were
unobserved by a magnanimois people. They.
predicted the war at a moment when the general
administration bad just been changed. Under
circumstances of astounding perplexity, with
out a single reasonable shade of complaint,
and in the face of repeated manifestations of
moderation and peace on the part :of the Pres
ident and his friends, they took up arms and
declared that they would never surrender '
until their rebellion had been recognized, or
the'institu institutions established by our fathers had
been destroyed.
They drove from their midst all who would
not yield to their despotism, and filled their
prisons with men who would not enlist under
their flag. They have now crowned the rebel
lion, by the - perpetration of. deeds scarcely
known even to savage warfare. - The Investi
gations of your committee have established
this fact beyond controversy. •
The people of flo loyal States, at last con.
Viand that they could preserve their liberties
only by an appeal to the God of battles,
rushed to the standard of the Republic in re
sponse to tho call of the Chief Magistrate.
Every step of this monstrous treason has been
marked by violence and . crime. No trans
gression has been too great, and no wrong too
startling for its leaders. They disregard the
sanctity of the oaths they had taken to sup
port the . .Constitetion. They repudiated all
their obligations to the people of the free
Slates. They deceived and betrayed their
own followers and crowned their armies with
forced levies.
The witnesses called before us were men of
undoubted veracity and character. Some of
them occupy high positions in the army, and
others high positions in civil life. Differing
in political sentiments, their evidence pre
sents a remarkable concurrence of opinion
and of judgment. Our fellow countrymen,
heretofore sufficiently impressed by the gen
erosity and forbearance of the Government of
the United States, and by the barbarous char
acter of the crusade against it, will be .
shocked by tho statements of these unim
peached and unimpeachable witnesses, and
foreign nations must, With one accord s how
ever much they have hesitated heretofore, con
sign to lasting odium the authors of • these
crimes, which in all their details, exceed the
worst ercesees of the Sepoys of India

Sp/dal eorrosNodeaoo of the Ennio; Poet
Baroatt Yonsrows, VA., April 26,L862.
—lt is very generally believed that are
- are now only some forty thousand - rebels
in Yorktown, and that there were lesi than
half that . number there wheiz we came
here, and that the place might have bee
taken with a light engagement. There
two things to be feared—either that_ , e
rebels will retire a few. mileand compel
us to pack up and again: ppare for a
siege; ur that they are becom ing cognizant
of our position and are amply preparing
themselves for the siege, and, i zerhaps, for
an asidialt upon some point at. which we
are not fully prepared. The'camp grows
uneasy, and all kinds of rumors are caught
at and circulated. We giVe but little cred
ence to these Hying rumors, yet they' are
not without their effect. The desertion of
a colonel and a major to the rebels has
created some uneasiness in the ranks.
of the War.
Our guns open fire upon the enemy's_
works each day, eliciting feeble - replies.
The rebel works extend in a continuous
line for nearly a mile from York rivet; but
at the extremities of the line there are but
three batteries in a space of three miles.
Several lines of rifle-pits connect - these --
works. The rebel forces lie back in the
woods, quietly concealed and awaiting our
movement. Yesterday they sent up a bat
loon about a mile - to our left. It went up
a few hundred feet and suddenly went
down. Other signs indice that the reb
els contemplate forcing our ntre; and it
is also Stated by the Southe ~papers that
the rebel army intends to m ke an assault
at some point of our lines a an early day.
If so, a warm reception awe is them. Noth.
ing would give us greater p ensure than to
know that we were to have n opportunity
of meeting the enemy in a determined and
desperate battle.
Our gunboats sunk a schooner in the
river at-Yorktown, to-day, and - 'caused a
hurried Itampeile of four or five other boats
which were gathering for some unknown
purpose. Our shell and shot were well
aimed, and did Some execution. About a
dozen shots were fired, giving us an indi
cation of what the gunboats can do in case
of emergency. -
'A word about correspondents. If the
reports from all our battle-fields were as
wide.of the mark and as carelessly written
as those which are sent from this place, the
world would know but little of what is
really in progress. And if the illustrations
and maps of all places are as wild as those
which are published in the New. York
papers, there is - no necessity for suppress
ing the sale of the daily and weekly jour
nals.
-At two o'clock this morning CoMpany A,
Captain Wild, Company 1 , Captain Band,
and Company H, Captain Caruth, of the
First Massachusetts Volunteers, Colonel
Cowden, under command of Lieut. Colotild
Wells, and Companies A, Captain Hum

work about a mile to the left of York river,
where the principal works are, and perhaps
surprise the rebels and take possession of
whatever they might find.
At daybreak the three companies, under
command of Lieut. Col. Wells, were ordered
into a "double quick," and ran about four
hundred yards across the open field to the
rebel works in the edge of the woods, when
a volley was 'fired from the enemy and a
hundred men were seen scattering among
