jeff Davis Coachman, and What He Said

SNe~SAAAAAesAAS
WASHINGTON, May 5. The following stale
ment, dated yesterday, on the Rappahannock,
has reached Washington
g A col0red man came in to-day from the 9TH
er side of the river, and represented himself as
jeff Davis's coachman. From the examination
of him, this is probably the truth. He repeats
scraps of conversation he overheard whilst ORR
wing Mr.. and Mrs. Davis in carriage, ard be-
tween Mr.. Davis and those who came to see bin.
Mr.. Davis ard Gen. j. K. johnson had some
heated discussions about the latter's retreat
from Manassas. Davis disapproved Of it, and
ordered Johnston to make stand at Gordons-
vile. Johnston declined to do this, and Offered
to resign, and was even indisposed to go to
Yorktown. Mrs. Davis said she thought ;his
very bad in him (Johnston) to be unwilling to
go and help Gen. Magruder.
The coachman overheard converse ton be-
tween Johnston and the wife of Davis, the form
er saying tba, if he had not left MANASSAS,
Mcclellan would have come out against him
and cut him 10 pieces.
Mrs. Davis read an article in the X edmond
Examiner to her husband, saying it was ~ part
of the Yankees plans that Generals Banks and
Mcdowell were to form IL junction in Louisa or
Caroline counties, and move down on Richmond.
but his generals would take care OF them.
The coachman also overheard conversation
between Davis and DR.. Gwin, formerly U. s.
Senator from California. Davis said that he
had sent Gen. J. T. Anderson from North Caro-
lima to resist the march of the Federals from
Fredericksburg and to delay them long enough
Tor him to see the probable result of the contest
before Yorktown, so that if that was likely to
be unsuccessful he would have time to extricate
his army from the peninsula and get them into
Richmond and out OF Virginia, that otherwise
they would all be caught.
The coachnan represents that Mrs. Davis said
the Confederacy was about played out, and that
if New Orleans was really taken she had no
longer any interest in the matter, as all she had
was there that it was great pity that they
ever attempted to hold Virginia and the other
nom growing cotton States; and that she said to
Mrs. DR.. r. Jones. daughter of Colonel James
Taylor, U s. Uommissary General of Subsistence,
who was very anxious to get to Washington
where he has one Of her children, not to give
herself any trouble, but only stay where she was
and when the Yankees came to Richmond she
could 90.

The advance of the forces under con mand of

the position of the enemy. reached this place,
10 miles from w iliamsburgh, about 2 clock
this p. M. on the road from Yorktown.
The country in most instances Is laid desolate,

emerging from cover of woods we came in

works
At the time no guns were VISIBLE on the enc
my's works. and u regiment of cavalry could be
Seen approaching about one mile Oft in line OF
battle. Capt. Gibbons reserve battery was then
ordered IL the front to open on the enemy's APP
Preaching cavalry, while a portion Of tie 9th
cavaify were deployed US skirmshcrs to the
right and left.
The fire from the battery was very effective
On the enemy S cavalry, but did not change their
course. About 200 yards to the right of Glib
oons battery was an earthwork which had all
the appearance of being deserted when all OF
asuduen our troops were opened upon by a
deadly fire from artillery posted behind the
works. At the same time the rebel cavalry con-
tlnued to advance until they were checked by a
charge made by Il portion OF the lst and 9th
cavalry which was performed in most adinira-
bic manner.
In more instances than one it was a hand to
hand encounter with the enemy, but strange to
state none of our men were made prisoners,
while We captured about twenty-five OF the
enemy, among them Capt. Frank Lee of the Sd
Florida infantry Capt. Gibbons had thirteen
horses killed Lieut.. De Wolf was mortally
wounded.
One gun was lost by sticking fast in the mud
Lieut.. Benton of the LIST cavalry, and ten men
OF the same regiment were wounded. Lieut..

New YORK, May 9th. The Times despatch
from Washington contains the following
The visit of the French minister again to
Richmond was to assure the rebels that the En-
peror Of France does not recognize them as a
power among nations, that England ard France
by recognizing thin as belligerents did ali that
could be expected on the part Of neutral govern
meets /; that the blockade Of their ports is eff
ectuall that theyjare fairly beaten in arms, and
Their Independence as a mutton impossible; that
a Continuance of hostillties by the threatened
destruction of the cotSon and tobacco crops OF
their citizens would only be a wanton injury to
the commerce of the world, niurng France and
England even more than the United States, and
that /. resort to guerilla warfare as proposed,
when their armies are destroyed, would demor-
alze society, and would be simply return to
| barbarism. The rebels have to be admonlshed,
therefore, that cessation OF hostllitcs is duty,
owed both to themselves and to the world, which
all civilized nations will unite in requiring OF
them al this time to save their honor and their
existence as a free people.
The French Emperor has assured them that
civilized Europe will not approve the imposition
of any hard terms on them by the United
States ,-tbat their society shall not be disorgan-
lied, their industry shall not De overthrown,
their families shall not be impoverished by II
general and indiscriminato confScati)n of their
property, and that Mr.. Lincoln's AdInnistr;.-
tion will be held to ii restoration OF the Union
on the basis OF the Constitution, with The in
herent rights of all the States preserved.

The French steamer Ga<scndl had arrived
AZ forktown with The French Minister, also

rebel transports were overlaken, some were run
ashore, those on board escaping, and the yes
sells burnt, and others were captured.
Latest reports state that Gen. Mcclellan was
with the advance and supposed to be before Viii.
llamsburgh, in which direction there had been
a brisk cannonadlng all day. Yesterday after.
noon schooner came down James river
from Richmond, and when near Newport News
was RIM ashore ON the south side of the river,
her men taking 10 the boats and pulling for
Newport News On arriving they announced
that they had Intentionally run her ashore to
reach our lines, and that she contained 60 tons
Of coal Tor the Merrimac. Several boats started
to tow her off, but were compelled to burn her,
being unable to get her off the shore.
The Merrimac was in sight. but did not at
tempt to interfere The crew were taken to
headquarters. They give !! deplorablc account
OF affairs at Richmond and among the troops,
the latter regarding all further attempts to
sustain here6ellion as sheer folly. Capt. Mill
ward with flag OF truce went up James river
to-day To meet a rebel boa, in which Gen. HUI

Federal prisoners in exchange for those released
by Ger. Burnside. Up to the hour of the Old

We made ONE remarks yesterday comTenda-

General Visle is run down with women
pleading for their runaway negroes. One deli
cate.lsdy showed him her hands, burnt with
work TO which they were unaceustomed, as all
her negroes had left her, with no other resource.
He kindly and courteouSly tells them that the
