We have not succeeded. A superior force,
avsiling itself Of facilities of approach we had
not the power 10 resist and Of an arm in which
We were not capable of competing with 1t, has
accomplished its purpose, and stands before
our city debating to US terms Of surrender.
1t now devolves upon US to meet the exigency
with dignity-not with craven submissiveness
on the one hand, nor, as the Mayor says, with
indecent alacrity on the other; but with calm
and reliant hope fer the moment, which we
may confidently trust is not remote, when our
brethren and countrymen will achieve our de-
liverance.
Meantime, we have domestic interests, near
and dear to us, to guard and to defend. The
preservation of the pease, quiet and good or.
der of our city, is now the paramount duty Of
every citizen. The Mayor tells the invader
that he has a gallant people-s people sensi-
tive Of all that can affect their dignity and
self,respect, over which to exercise the gov
ernment he now, we trust, but temporarily,
can assert. Let US verify, by our example,
the character our Chief Magistrate has not
unjustly claimed for US. He promises to
discharge all the duties imposed upon him
by his Office with religious fidelity Be it
ours to sustain him and the other author
tiles of our city in that good work. Let Us not
by rash acts Of violence, though these may be
the dictates of offended pride and deep sense
Of injury. give the enemy warrant for asper-
sions he has not been backward, in time past,
in throwing upon US; nor furnish him a pre-
text for inficting wanton and irreparable
injury upon the city.
The strict and full performance of these high
and holy duties is not by any means inconsist-
ent with those feelings which, though tempo
rarily defeated, We have, as freemen, a
right to entertain nor with that dignity which
the soul conscious of rectitude may maintain,
even in the midst Of disasters.
We have now pressing upon us, with more
stringeney than ever, many relative obliga-
tions, the sacredness Of which every good citi.
Gems will be free to admit. THE poor ye have
ever with you," said one, whose. precepts
were uttered for our guidance. 1t is ours to
consider more than ever, and in every way
possible, their imperative wants Bakeries,
and groceries, and markets. and provision
stores, should be kept open during the day,
and thus articles necessary for subsistence be
made and kept easy of access and procure
nent. This is no time to practice extertion,
or to higgle about prices. The exorbitsnt
profit upon the sale Of article Of prime neces-
sity, wrung from the scantily supplied purse
Of fellow-citizen, is now more than ever a
robbery. We trust that every such instance
will meet at the hands Of the community with
tke execration it so justly merits.

were directed TO another house at the foot Of the
mountain for bread, and on the way thither they
passed a barn, out Of which came fifteen OF

The rebels probably came over the mountain by

THE ADVANCE on RICHMOND

lArmY Correspondence of the Associated Press
NEw KENT Court House., Va Saturday, May
1913 p. NJ (27 miles from Richmond THE
pursuit Of the retreating rebels by our troops un-
der command Of Gen. StOneman has In every re-
spect been successful His headquarters are now
here, 81 miles from Richmond, while the ad =.
vance, consisting Of the Sth Illinois cavalry, Is
miles ahead. The enemy are In sight, but Qradu-
ally falling back. The Inhabitants have, in
nearly every instance, left but from the best in
formation that has been obtained, the enemy will
make a stand at Bottom Bridge, Is miles from
Richmond, the head waters Of the ChickahOminy
river.
General Mcclellan, with the main body of the
army, 10 rapidly following up within a few
miles.
Cumberland, a small town on the Pornonkey
river, and two and half miles from here, was de-
serted this morning by the enemy, and Is now
occupied by our forces.
There are no rebels to be seen, as reported by
our scouts, this side Of the Chickahomny river
except on the direct road to Richmond.
The force under Gen. StOneman consisted of the
ID Rhode Island and 9th Pennsylvania regiments
Of infantry, Capt Robinson's battery Of lie ht
tllery, and the 9th cavalry under Mai Williams
The rear guard Of the enemy, which remained
here last mig ht, and which our men had to drive
before them. was Gen. Longstreets division, con-
sistng of ten regiments OF infantry, two batteries
and regiment Of the lst Virginia cavalry. Our
advance was this morning Strengthened, on as
certainng the force Of the enemy by the 9Th ILL.,
nois cavalry and two regiments of the lst New
Jersey ue eHtI-ly Oh mere tnle
forenoon Hred two buildings containing commits
sary and quartermaster stores.
The engagement yesterday between our advance
and the enamy's rear, at Slater's Mills, three
miles from here, resulted in fourteen OF the enc
my's cavalry being killed and several taken pris-
oles They secured their wounded. The Sixth
Cavalry, which made most brilliant charge,
had three killed and three men missing, and
thirteen wounded. Gen. Howell Cobb remained
here last night and left with the rebels this morn-
ing.
The enemy's retreat has been most admirably
accomplished, carrying almost everything with
them In the shape Of forage and provisions, the
way on trains In the day time and their troops at
night. The enemy covered their retreat with a
lire Of skirmshers stretched across the country,
driving In their stragglers ct the point Of the
bayonet.
The Richmond papers Of the 9th make no
mention OF the movements Of their army. The
country between here and Bottom Bridge Is
thickly wooded, with few clearings and in
many places low and swampy. The jail here
was burnt yesterday. The railroad from West
Point TO the bridge where II crosses the Pomon- =
key river has been torn up, and the destruction Of
the bridge will probably follow.
