by Gen. Ewell's advancing column. 1t is be-

Arrivals tonight from New Market bring in
telligence that Fremont was advancing to New
Market soven miles south Of Mount Jackson,
opposite TIE gap in Massanutten mountains,
through wdich road leads to Luray.
Jackson is believed to have a large force Of
light troo,s in Harrisonburg, and another body
at or near Port Republic.

At the battle of Port Republic, the seventh
Louisian and seventh Indiana were opposed at
pistol range. The former left the field, having
only thirty-51 unhurt

The situation in the Shenandoah Valley is
highly interesting. The rebel generals, Jackson
and Ewell, muster strong armies, and appear to
have aggressive tendencies. The only division
OF McD0Welis late army of the Rappahennock
that is now on Efemont's line of operations IS
that of Gen. Shields The other divisions Of
McDowelrs corps turned back, and were, on
the l2sh, at Manassas junction. Since that
time they are supposed to have made an '' On
to Richmond movement. Ii the f, Tces under
Fremont, Shields, Sigel and Banks can be con-
centrsted and conpetently handled, they win
certainly be amply sufficient to overcome the
rebels now menacing the Valley In The mean
time, if we are not much mistaken, Mcclellan
has the reinfjrcements which have been so ur-
gently called for in his behalf, and should be
able to flush the business at Richmond.
And the Chicago Times of the same date
says:
There seems to be prospect of speedy fight
ing in the Valley Of the Shenandoah again.
Shields has fallen back from Luray to StTasburg,
on the Manassas railroad, aud Luray has bsen
occupied by the rebel Gen. Ewell. Fremont has
removed from Mount Jackson, seven miles, to
New Market, and, it is believe, is advancing on

Now that the confusion and e1aggerstioa Incl

ike an accurate estimate Of our casualties. This

OF the wounds are slight, and few OmparstiYely
viii terminate fatally ; not more than twenty per
cent. viii be disabled for future service.
A wOndrOus Providence seems TO have pro-
tected our troops amid the shower of shot and
shell, sHd to have merc;fully diverted from the
citadels Of life the deathly missiles which few 50
thick and fast, and struck down 50 many in the
hand, aud arm, and foot. Here and there We
see shattered thigh, ghastly rent in breast or
abdomen, shocking hssuIe in the skull but the
wounds are for the most part finger, hand, arm
or flesh wounds, rarely demanding aught but
time and careful nursing. This last is sbund-
antly provided. The condition Of the hospitals
in and about Richmond is highly creditable to
the medical department, and gratifying TO the
friends and relatives of the sick and suffering
The sick have, for the most part, been removed
to Danville, Petersburg, Farmville and other
places, and their cOuches given TO the wounded.
Several stores and public warehouses have been
extemp pOrzsd into hospitals, and uumberless pri-
vate houses have been thrown open for the com
fort Of the soldier. The ciIizsns Of Richmond
have generously furnished every convenience Of
food and clothing in many cases have lent their
trusty family servants, and in some instances
have given their personal attention by the bed
side OF the brave sufferer. IF anything, there
are too many attendants in places for a sick
chamber, and | fear many are suffering for want
of quiet and rest There is reason to deprecate
the presence Of so many young ladies and girls.

clearer confession of its own guilty conduct than
this. Ii any terrible disaster should befall the

who is free from ny partie patton in the respon-

A quOndam resident Of our city, whose busi-
ness relations were such as to make it necessary
to assume position Of fli4ndlinsss toward both
government and its enimies, and who in his sf-
tort found it desirable to resume a residence in
the South, was seen in our streets yesterday. It
is wondered whether he has been iHSHifsd BY be-

government as he was last winter, when in
formed that that formula was necessary as
condition precedent to his getting a pass from

From the BJltoa Traveller.
The following extract of letter from highly
respectable merchant of Hayti to his correspond
ent in this city is conclusive evidence of the
wisdom of Congress in acknowledging he inde-
pendence of that country. The letter is dated
Cape Hsyt, May 8:
The Spanish affair is becoming complicated
on the boundary question 1t is said the French
and English refuse their Intervention, while the
Spaniards declare their intention not to stop at
the boundaries, if they are compelled to use
force.
1t appears to me thet the French are permit
| ting or encouraging these movements on the
part of Spain with the intention of interpOsing
at favorable time, or hoping to be called in to
| give their protection. 1t is evident the better
class are wishing for this result. France has
| long and srdently coveted port in Hayti, and
would never let such an opportunity escape her.
/ From some cause England and France appear
could have prevented what has and is happening
| to her.
The government declare their determination
not to give up. 1t is not likely that Spain will
| back down, so what can they do but call in some
! foreign aid. Mediation has been refused
nothing now remains but protectorate or a
loss Of their nationality. All this could be o5-
waited If the United States could be induced to
show the least sympathy for them, and it is now
an sscertsined fact that it was small minority
VINO wished for Spanish rule, and they are
heartily tired of it
Could not the Monroe doctrine be brought te
bear in this case If they care nothing about
Hsyti they certainly should about the violation
Of tAeir own principles, which they have Sc
! If.en declared their intention 70 maintain.

JncIEsOn,s Army.

It's no longer secret that heavy reinforce
ments have been sent to g. StoneWall" Jackson,
in the Valley, and that he now has an army
sufficiently large to core with any force that can
be brought against him by the enemy. What
the exact number of these reinforcements are
we are unable to say, as they have all been car
ried over the South-S,de railroad fiOm Peters
burg, and thence to Staunton, ria Lynch5urg.
Although just on from the South, these men are
net raw recruits. Many of them have seen ser
vice on the Southern coast, and were withdrawn
only when their posts were occupied by others
taken from the different camps of instruction.
They are in measure veterans, and burniDg g
with aTdoT to Din their champions in arms, to
share with them the glory of the brilliant cam
paign in the Valley.
Jackson now has as many men as he wants
SIS many as can be managed successfully in the
mOuutaiGeous district through which he will have
t. march in order to reach the territory of the
enemy. At last accounts all the reinforcements
had reached him, and he was steadily pushing
forward after Shields and Fremont, who were
Tetr, ing befcre his advance. The Yankee gen
eral' must either give him battle or be driven
acros. the Potomac. If they have the courage
tn make a stand, we shall have the opportunity
Of recording another victory more glorious than
ever before. There is no doubt as to the result.
NJ batter comment could be made upon the
mi itary resources Of the South than is shown by
the tact that, while our armies at all important
points have steadily received aceessions, a large
body cf men have been sent to swell tho ranks
of the army of Jsckson.-RicamORd Dispatch.

Fro tie N-w York Herald, IIth
Colonel Rasloff, charge i d'affaires of Denmark,
has addressed letter to the Secretary of State
upon tie subject of the advantages off5Ied by
the islasd OF s. Croix tor the employment of
per, ems Of this country of African extraction,
and negroes found on board vessels captured
by our cruisers. The island, he says, has been
checked il progress f T want of manual labor
and be inFi es the United States to enter into
convention whereby the contemplated migration
may be placed under the protection and guaran-
tee of the two governments.
The governor of the Danish West Indies has
also appointed a special agent, who has arrived
in this county to make the necessary arrange
ments. Free transportation is offered to all who
will engage to labor on the sugar plantations
for three years at the same compensation as
given to the native population. Recaptured
Africans, however, being semi-savage, must
undergo apprenticeship Secretary Seward, re-
plying, says he is not authorized to accept the
proposition a. tuis time for a convention, as the
disposition of reclptured Africans is row pre-
scribed by law. 1t is probable, however, that
Congress may BE- disposed so to modify the eI-
isting legislation upon the subject as TO meet
the wishes of the Danish government. He has
submitted correspondence to the chairman of the
judiciary committee in each House of Congress.
Col. Rasloff in response, says the plan he had
| furnished would be entirely satisfactory from a
Chri tian and humane point of view, and would,
moreover, relieve the United States from a great
moral responsibility and from the very large
expenses which, if he was correctly informed
is. connected with the present arrangements for
