the crowd is inereasing. Two men have been.
knocked down in front of the telegraph office.
One man was heard to say: "Damn you;
you have it, now, all your own way, but we
will have it our way, soon." One excited
Union man proposed that the Government

TbUraracTos, May o'clock p. es.—A
gentletian e whe is well acquainted with the
localities and positions a Gen. B4nks' army,
says that be does not regard the report re
ceived to-day as indicating any danger to the
main body of the troops of that cimmand.
Col. Henley's First Meryl= regiment,
with a squadron of cavalry and tcportion of a
battery, was stationed at Front Royal as the
outpost guard, a mite and a half from the
main stem of Manassas Railroad,] while other
troops guarded the track. .
The bridge supposed to endangered is three
miles from Front Royal Junction, and is
strongly guarded. Is is consi4erod almost
impossible-for the enemy to reach the bridge
before reinforcements from Reetortown or
Strasburg would have arrived there. At all
events, the attack could not have jeopardised
Gen. Banks' army.
The only matter of interest that has oc
curred to-day, in Gen. McClellan's army, was
the shelling out of the rebels on the opposite
side of the river, at New Bridge, which was
done in a most satisfactory manner by the .
battery of Major Robertson and Captain Tit
hall, of the Second Artillery. The enemy.
made a response, but suddenly broke camp .
and left with their baggage trains. The bal
loon made an ascension nearone of the bat
teries. From its elevated position a note was
made of the effect of the different shots, which
was commlinited to those in charge of the
batteries. Gen. Marcy and a portion of Gen.
McClellan's Staff were present, and witnessed
the precipitate, retreat of the enemy.
There is nothing further from the direction
of Richmond to-day.

Thursday Evening, ➢!ay 22, 1862.
Our troops crossed the Chickahominy, yes
terday, both at Bottoms Bridge and the Rail

and a half miles beyond the river. Only a

A large number of men have been detailed
for thebuilding of bridges at' different points
on'the creek.
•
The balloon:ascension, which was made to
day, by Prof. Lowe, gave no assurance of the
enemy being in any considerable for* or near.
at hand.
FroM the best information that can be had
the enemy have selected a position; between
three and four miles on this side of Richmond,
to -moot the Federal troops.
The advance of the army, being now within
'seven Wiles of Richmond, its further progress
muit necessarily be slow, in order that the
main body shall come up, to bo prepared to
moot any emergency that may arise in ap
proaching tbo capital of robeldom.
Very little tiring was heard to-day in the

The morale and vigor of the army of the

F 4 or these characteristics it is indebted, in a
great 'measure, to its Provost Marshal, -Brig.

EICADQUARTGAS AlitHl' OF THZ POTOII&C, 1 •
Saturday, May 2t, 18G2.
The driving of the Rebels frouAthe vicinity
of New Bridge, by our artillery, yesterday;
was followed up to-day by a movement wholly
unexpected tvur adversaries.
A reconnoissance, composed nf the Fourth
Michigan regiment, Col. Woodbury, and a
squad of the Second Cavalry; Capt. Gordon,
was made, which is worthy of mention. Fire
companies of the Fourth Mibhigati, under
Lieut. Bowen, of the Topographical Engineers,
and Lieut. Carter, of the Fifth Cavalry, act
ing with the topographical corps, crossed the
Chickabousitly a short distance above New
Bridge, with thirty won of the Fourth Michi
gan. This small command succeeded in get
ting between four companies of the Fifth
Louisiana regiment, who were.out on picket
duty at the: bridge, and a brigade of the eno-
Iny who were supporting them. In' the mean
time the balance of the regiment .and the
squadron of cavalry approached the bridge
from this side, thus attracting the attention
of the fotir Louisiana companies t end the
first knowledge the Rebels had of the near
approach of an enemy was the firing from
thirty muskets, at short pistol range, makidg
havoc with the 'ranks, and causing a BeriollA
panic, while the main body advanced in front
and opened a deadly fire.
The' result was,, that thirty-one, of the
eneuiy were taken prisoners. fifteen wounded,
and between sixty and seventy left dead on
the field. Among the prisoners was
Lieutenant.
The casualties on ourside was ono killed,
one mortally wiftintlesl and sin slightly wound
ed:. Li cut. Bowen had his horse shot from
under him during the skirmish. The light
Brigade under Gen. Stoneman and the Brig-.
ado of Gen. Davidson of Gen: Smith's Divis
ion to-day advanced from flew Rridge up the
Chickahorniny to Elison's Mills, oh Bell's
Creek. Hero they encountered four regiments
of the enemy's infantry with nine pieces of
artillery and a command of cavalry. Of these,
two regiments of infantry and three pieces of
artillery were on the opposite side of the
creek. The balance of the infantry, which
was composed of tbo Bth and 9th Georgia
regiments, Under' General Howell Cobb were
posted in afavorble position to resist our ad
vance to Mechanicsville. Mier's and Robert
son's battery of the second artillery were
quickly brought into action, and after firing
one hundred and fifty rounds the rebtils with
drew with their gans, not, however, until one
of them had been dismounted, to-the village,
covered by their infantry and cavalry. Four
regiments of Gen. Davidson's Brigade were
then sent around, but night coming on they
went into camp within sin hundred yards of
the enemy. At daylight the batteries on
both side■ opened, Wheeler confining his guns
to Shelling the houses, behind which the ene
my's infantry were concealed. The fire *as
so hot for the rebuts that they loft the village,
a portion retreating across the Chickabominx.

The Sputter said he contd not see how this
was 'a question of privilege. . • - -
Mr. Wyckliffe, of Ky., stated that this
conflict of jurisdiction might lead to bloodshed.-
If the liberties of this country are not privi
leged questions, what are they, eh? , _ ,
r The question not being , entertained, the
House resumed the consideration of the Con-
fiheation bills.
(Mr. Kellogg, of Illinois, argued the right
of confiscation as an incident -of the war, 1-"
which was granted under the Constitution in
civil war or rebottled, as well as is a Amelia ,
war. Ile was inSavor of &judicious confine- _
tion bill, especially for the puniahment of the

we ought to strip the enemy of his - strength, •
and thus, augment our own. .A nation which'
will soot resort to the most elEcient means to
preserve its existence, and Meant ohedience.,
to its authority, is grossly direlect inits duty.

the Cokfination bill, too sweeping in its °per•
