Pitts refers to the action by the Legislature Il

day took dispatches and letters for the Union
prisoners. No newspapers came into the hands
Of reporters for the press.

the Union forces The telegraph operator hav.
ing left there as previously reported, no partio-
ulars have been received. II is stated, how
ever, that subsequently the operator attempted
to return but found the city in possession Of the
Union troops, 1t is probable the city surrended

pearance. There is report that the enemy's
much boasted iron gunboat built there, as a
second Merrimac, was, while on Its way, destroy
cd by the U. s. steamer Pensacola.

The rebels are apparently just realizing that
Mcclellan Is making great preparations to open
the second siege of Yorktown. Our earthworks
begin to present very formidable appearance,
and all yesterday and last night the enemy kept
up brisk FIRE on them, trying to drive Us out.
Nobody was injured and the work progressed.
In the morning the enemy opened vigorous
fire for three hours from batteries near the
river, but receiving no response, they ceased.
Yesterday General Hancock, with portion
of his brigade, went to drive the rebels from
the woods near our works. Our troops poured
in we'll directed fire, causing them to retreat,
leaving their dead and wounded. During this
skiImlsh our men silenced new rebel battery,

Troubles OF tho Overland Mail Com
DanY.

ST. LtUIs, April ga gentleman of this
city just returned from Omaha, informs us that
the recent troubles which the Overland Mail
Company have experienced we're not oeoasioned
by the Indians, but by the company's own en-
poyees. 1t appears the drivers of the overland
coaches, and other persons in the employ of the
company, have not been paid their wages for
several months. Disguised with this state Of
affairs, they determined to seize upon the com,
pany's property, and thus obtain what belonged
to them. Nearly all the available stock Of the
company has thus been taken away. Our In
formant says the Indians along the route are
peaceaby disposed, and thus far have done no
injury to the mails or overland telegraph.
