The Gun Contracts.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The commission
on ordnance and ordnance stores have nearly
closed their investigations. 1t appears from
their report that the existing contracts and
orders for Springfield muskets amount to
l,l64 200, while, in the opinion of the ord
nance department, there will be required for
year to come, to meet the probable wants of
the country, not exceeding half million Of
guns of this model. Some of these contracts
have already failed from non compliance, and
from the present aspect Of things it seems
likely that others will be added in part or in
whole to the list of failures.
The commission deem it eXpedient and i'm
portant to bring down the total number of
Springfield muskets which government shall
be bound to accept to about six hundred thou
sand. In four cases, so far, the commission
have confirmed contracts without reduction.
These four cases are the only ones out of
thirty-siX in all in which it was found that a
formal contract had been signed and sealed
by the contracting parties, and the only ones
containing the provision imperatively de-
manaed by law that no member of congress
should be admitted to any share therein, or tc
any benefit therefrom.
The commission show that the habitual dis
regard of law heretofore, in contracts fol
arms, has been attended by the evil of exorbi
tant prices, which the statute intends to pre-
vent, but under the present conduct of the wa
department, this further waste of money i
prevented.

Maryland infantry. We captured large
amount of transportation, including two en-
gines and eleven cars. Our advance was so
rapid that the enemy was surprised, and was

across the Shenandoah.

From Harper,s Ferry,

New York, June IA dispatch from Har-
per's Ferry, Saturday, states that there were
no signs of the enemy. The 18th New York
militia had arrived there. They refused to
be sworn in, much to the disgust of their col
onel, Maidkoff, the men saying they wanted
to go to Washington. Major Bower of Gen.
Saxton's staff addressed them as follows =
"Those willing to acknowledge yourselves
towards here in face of the enemy, step out
of the ranks" They did so, and were or
dered to leave and pay their own way back to
New York. But few remained at Harper's
Ferry. 1t is a German regiment. General
Saxton rejected the whole regiment, saying
he did not want towards in his command.
HARPER's FERRY. June All is quiet
here. The rebels have evacuated Martins
burg and Charlestown. The damage done by
them to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is
trihing. The road can be put in operation to
the Ohio river within two days. Our cavalry,
on Saturday afternoon, occupied Martinsburg
and several miles beyond. Refugees in large
numbers are returning to their homes.

fnth, sc.


CoRINTH. NAV 3Ith, via CAIRO, June l.
Yesterday morning our reserve divisions were
brought up and our entire front moved for
ward, the men having two days rations in
their haversacks. During the day we kept
up tremendous cannonading, Smelling the
woods furiously. The rebels hardly showed
themselves, but replied feebly with few
shots.
Last night we threw up breastworks along
the entire front, and slept on our arms within
one thousand yards of the enemy's breast
works. At six O'Clock this morning. Gen.
Pope entered Corinth without the slightest re-
siStance, and took possession. At the same
time the mayor, who had come out on a diff
ferent road met Gen. Nelson andsurrendered
the town to him. There were no inhabitants
remaining except women and children and old
men.
The rebels succeeded in carrying away alb
solutely everything except a few provisions,
which, with the warehouses and railroad de-
pot, were burned before we arrived. They
took every invalid from the hospital and ev-
cry letter from the post office. They did not
leave a single gun, and had been moving
away troops more than six days, and stores
two weeks. Most of the troops have gone
toward Grand junction.
The rebel rear guard under Bragg, ten
thousand strong, marched southwark at mid
night Citizens assert positively that Beau
regard was there In person, and left with it.
All concur that there were never more than
sixty thousand troops there at once, and
usually much less.
The rebel Notifications were five miles
long, from the Memphis and Charleston to the
Mobile and Ohio railroads, but were much
weaker than we supposed. They could have
been carried by storm at any time.
The few prisoners we have are deserters
from the rebel rear guard. There is great
modification in our army. | have these de-
tails from one who was there in person.

The Rebels Beaten.
THE REBEL LOSS ENORMOUs.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The following dis
patch was received at the War Department
this afternoon:
''FIELD OF BATTLE, June |, II M.-We have
had desperate battle, in which the corps of
Generals Sumner, Heintzelman and Keyes.
have been engaged against greatly superior
numbers. Yesterday, at one, the enemy,
taking advantage of a terrible storm which
had flooded the valley of the Chickahominy,
attacked our troops on the right flank. Gen.
Casey's division, which was in the first line,
gave way unaccountably and disuntedly.
This caused a temporary confusion during
which the guns and batteries were lost, but
Gems. Heintzelman and Kearny most gallant
ly brought up their troops, which checked the
enemy. At the same time, however, we sue
ceeded, by great exertion, in bringing across
Gems. Sedgwick's and Richardson's divisions,
who drove back the enemy at the point of the
bayonet, covering the ground with his dead
This morning the enemy attempted to re-
new the conflict, but was everywhere repuls-
ed. We have taken many prisoners, among
whom are Gen. Pettigrew and Colonel Long.
Our loss is heavy, but that of the enemy must
be enormous. With the exception of General
Casey's division, the men behaved splendidly.
Several fine bayonet charges have been made.
The I'd Excelsior regiment made two to-day.
CSigned] GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN,
Maj. Gen. commanding.
WASHINGTON, Sune 1.-During the whole
of the battle of this morning, Professor loves
balloon was overlooking the terrific scene
from an altitude of about 2000 feet. Telegra-
phic communication from the balloon to Gen.
Mcclellan, and in direct connection with the
military wirrs, was successfully maintained,
Mr.. Park Spring of Philadelphia acting as
operator. Every movement of the enemy
was obvious, and instantly reported.
This is believed to be the first time in which
balloon reconnaissance has been successful
ly made during a battle, and certainly the
first time in which telegraph station has
been established in the air, to report the
movements of the enemy and the progress of
battle. The advantage to Gen. Mcclellan
must have been immense.

News from CairO.

CAIRO, May 31.-A refugee from Memphis,
who left that place fortnight ago Tuesday,
arrived here to-day. He says the rebels have
1900 artillerists garrisoning the forts, and that
in consequence of scarcity of coal, most of
the rebel gunboats have been abandoned and
their guns taken to Fulton and fort Randolph.
A strong pontoon bridge has been constructed
by the rebels in the rear of fort Wright, over
which a retreat when necessary can be made.
An Arkansas refugee arrived from the fleet
to-day. He says that Little Rock is fully &C.
cupied by the federalists, and that what citi-
zens remain are decidedly loyal. The Ar
kansas state Legislature had scattered, and the
governor had fled from the state. He is now
at Jackson, Miss.

From New Orleans and Key West, by
the Baltic.

New York, June New Orleans dates
by the Baltic are to May %. Gen. Shepley
has assumed the duties of mayor, and Major
Bell those of the recorders of the city; and
Capt. Jonas French has been appointed chief
of police These functionaries will take
charge of the city until some loyal citizens
shall be elected to fill these offices. The
Bank of Commerce had reopened its doors
and commenced business, refusing rebel shin
plasters.
The steamer Swan with thousand bales
of cotton and eight hundred barrels of rosin,
had arrived at Key West. She was captured
by the brig cambridge on the Oath of May.
Evidence against the steamer Circassian is
conclusive, and she will be condemned.
Pensacola advices state that the residents
of that place welcomed our troops with JOY.
Gen. Arnold occupied the house of Major
Chase, and Billy Wilson the residence of S.
r. Mallory.
The Baltic, which arrived yesterday, had on
board, according to a Key West correspond
ent of the Herald, some half dozen persons
furnished with free passage, who are known to
have been aiding and abetting the rebels for q
year past, while good Union men were refused
and unable to obtain transportation.

ST. LOUIS, June Judge Birch, who has
been stumping the state as candidate for gov
ernor for some time past, was arrested at Roll
la. on Friday, by order of Col. Boyd, COM
handing that post, for uttering disloyal senti-
ments while making a speech, which was evil
IDENTIFY designed to procure secession votes.
Quite number of noisy secessionists of
this city have been arrested within few days,
and it seems to be the determination of the
provost marshal general to promptly suppress
disloyalty in whatever form it manifests itself.

BALTIMORE, June 1.-The Old Point Boat
has arrived, bringing the following letter from
Fortress Monroe INLAY 3I.-A remarkable
thunder storm occurred here last night with
torrents of rain, which lasted several hours.
The telegraph line to the headquarters of the
army was unable to operate. Shortly before
eleven o'clock the lightning struck the old
wooden building on the corner of the road
to Camp Hamilton, setting it on fire. The
building was entirely destroyed; others in the
vicinity were saved. 1t was occupied by the
engineer department, and contained three
horses and quantity of oats and corn. Two
horses were got out safely, and the greater
part of the oats and corn. Loss not over two
thousand dollars.
There are large numbers of deserters from
the enemy between this place and Richmond,
who, while protesting to be Union men and
insisting that they were reluctantly forced
into the rebel ranks, still retain all their bit
terness against the federals and make it al
most dangerous for a solitary traveller to meet
one or two of them. Our cavalry scouts are
out, however, in the direction of Big Bethel
and Back river, and frequent arrests are made
of these fellows who are no doubt guerillas.
They are extremely ignorant and ugly look
ing, and are miseraby clad. Many of the
depredations and outrages are also committed
by runaway contrabandS who roam over the
country and do pretty much as they please.
"The government steamer King Philip
came down from Washington this morning,
having on board congressional committee,
naval officers, and a party of ladies. Mayor
Wightman of Boston is also here to-day. The
whole party visited Norfolk accompanied by

CoRINTH, May pot is now ascertained
that the evacuation commenced night before
last, the enemy retreating southwardly until
they reached the railroad bridge burned by a
detachment of our forces, whence they went
to Grand junction and thence southwardly on
the jackson railroad. Some ladies' and sew
eral citizens remain here. All the stores are
being closed, with the exception of few gro
ceries. tits ascertained that Van Dorm had u
band of Indians under him.
Col. jackson reports finding the road for
several miles strown with knapsacks and hav-
ersacls, arms and canteens, showing signs of
great Generalization. The woods are full of
stragglers who are being brought in as fast as
possible. Probably between two and three
thousand, including almost the entire 18th
Louisiana are in our lines; many of them are
deserters and the balance have been captured
since the evacuation.
