No additional intelligence of the move

has yet been received but sharp little
set-to between three rebel gunboats and
TWO OF our floating bu!warks is reported
to have taken place near Cairo. The reb-
els were doubtless on reconnaissance
from Colunbus but so unpleasant was
their reception that our boats, the Essex
and ST. Louis, easily drove them eff, pur-
suing them almost to Columbus. From
statements Of deserters, it appears that
the rebels at Columbus are becoming
quite nervous in consequence Of the
preparations which have been made for
their benefit.

From Hatteras Inlet we learn that our

troubled by the rebels since the 9th Of
December. Contrabands from the main

inform our people that tie rebels were at
work strongly fortifying Roanoke Island,
in expectation that Gen. Burnside's ex-
pcdition would 90 into Pamlico Sound to
operate against Norfolk At Norfolk this
opinion was very generally entertained,
and preparations for defense were being
made accordingly.
The Ocean Queen arrived on Saturday
from Port Royal with two days later dates,

The SECEssI0NIsTs IN EUROPE AND
MIR. SEwARD.-Mr. Weed writes from
London TO the Albany Eccniag Journal: /:
Strong. active and subtle influences
have been at work here to render oar
Secretary OF State obnoxious to this GOV
eminent, itspress and pconle. And these
influences have been So successful that
he is everywhere regarded not only as an
ene.ny of England, bat as one who. from
personal hostility or political considera-
ton, really desires Il collision between
the two nations. In support of these
opinions the Duke of Newcastl is quoted,
| cannot gather from the numerous ver-
sious aaoat, the precise language used BY
the Duke, but | am sure that either the
language or the import of what Governor
Seward said, was misapprehcnded, for it
is au impeachment Of the commonest
sense to suppose that he seriously appris.
ed the Duke of an intention to provoke a
war with England; and that at a moment
when our whole country was manifesting,
in unmistakable enthusiasm, its admira-
tion for the Queen aud its regard for Eng
land in ovations to her son and its heir
apparent.
"ln at least one vital particular seces,
sionis!s are working out their own de-
struction. Their war is emancipatlng
Europe from It's dependence upon the
slave States for cotton. This usurping
king will be dethroned. They were
warned Of this, but that blindness which
precede5 destruction sealed their eyes and
their understanding. India will furnish.
next year, million and a half of bales.
The Manchester spiEuers say that, with
small proportion Of American cotton, they
can work UP the India material advan-
tageously. There is no limit to the ca
lacity Of India for cotton growing. The
rapid construction Of railways will scon
remove the only obstacle"

Z. S. FLAG SHIP MINNESOTA, }

Hampton Roads, May 9.
10 HIS ErceNeny the President of the u -.
SIR :--Agreeably to IL communication just re-
ceived from tie Hon. L. II. Stanton, have the
honor to report that the instructions gave
Yesterday to the officers commanding the several
vessels detailed To open fire upon SewalPs Point
were, chat the object of the move was to ascer-
tain the practlcability of landing body OF
troops thercabouts and to reduce the works if
it could be done that the wooded vessels should
attack the principal works in Enfield, and that
the Monitor accompanied By the Stevens should
20 up as tar as the works, and there operate IN
! front.
On the Merrimacs appearance outside the
works the Monitor had orders to tall beck into
! far channel way, and only to engage her
seriously in such position that this ship, to-
gether with mel chant vessels intented for the
purpose could run her down. II an oppor-
tunity presented ITSELF the other vessels were not
to hesitate to run her down, and the Baltimore,
and an unarmed Steamer of light draft, high
speed, and with curved bow, was kept in the
direction of the Monitor expressly to throw
herself scross the Merrimac either forward
or aft of her plated bows But the Merrimac
did not engage the Monitor, nor did she place
herself where she could have been assailed by
our ram vessels to any advantage or whcre
there was any prospect whatever OF getting at
her. My instructions were necessarily verbal
and in giving them | suppose that was carry
ing out your wishes in substance, ifnot to the
letter The demonstration resulted in establish
ing the fact that the number of guns at the
principal work on Sewall's Point has been
essetally reduced and is not greater now than
about seventeen that the number OF men
now stationed there is apparently quite limited.
The quarters connected with this work were set
on fire by our shells, and no doubt seriously
injured.

THE CoLoRED r. l. REGIMENT.-Judging
from the census statistics, the prospects of fill
ing this regiment from the colored population
of Rhode Island are not very fattering. At any
rate, if our figures are correct, though there has
been great cry, very little wool will be gath
cred. There are not, in the whole State of
Rhode Island, 500 eolOred male persons between
the ages of Is and 45, who could be subject to
military duty, under the same regulations that
govern white men. There are not probably 400.
The whole colored male population of the State
between the ages of Is and 80, by the census OF
1860, was only 73S. Deducting those between
As and so, and deducting those who are not
"able-bOded,' there certainly could not be 500
remaining If one in four Of these volunteer,
or is drafted, our Government will obtain reg
iment of l25 men. This is as large a proper
tion as could be expected Providence Post.

SHIPwRECE.-By an arrival from China,
we bave intelligence that the ship Phantom,
which left San Francisco May, 3Otb, for
Hong Kong, was totally lost, July 18th, on
Pratas shoal. The crew and passengers got
off in the boats, intending to proceed to
Hong Kong, but owing to heavy sea, they
were separated, and the day after the wreck
two of the boats were attacked by Chinese
pirates, who. took everything, even stripping
the men. The two boats finally made land,
after being four days without food. They
reached Hong Kong, July 18th, six days
after the wreck. A British war steamer was
Immediately dispatched after the missing
boats. One of them was in charge of the
second mate, who was an invalid, aud as be
had three men with him who were not sail
Ors, and the sea was very rough, it is feared
his boat was lost. Capt Sargent was in
charge of another boat, with twelve boxes
of treasure on board, and was probably
blown on the coast.

Ex-senator GREEN ABUSED BY GUERIL-
LAs.-Ex-Senator James S. Green is again at
home at Monticello, in this State, and did not,
as was at first supposed, Voluntarily follow the
rebel guerilla band which made descent upon
that and neighboring towns. Before Green left
Washington, it seems he made mp his mind to
be Union man for the rest Of the contest sat
isfed Mr.. Seward that such were his intentions
and received from the Secretary of State per-
manent "pass" and protection from Federal
troops. The rebels seized him in their descent
upon Monticello, mounted him barebacked on
a raw-boned, high-trotting horse and forced him
to accompany them in speedy day and night
marches through rains and hot suns to the in
terror of the State. Whenever they halted for
a meal, they threw him small piece of bread
and bacon, and cursed and taunted him with
"deserting the South" What they would have
done with him he does not know, but their be-
havior was the reverse of encouraging the no.
ton that they had civil treatment in store for
him. At length the band was met by Colonel
McNeil's Union regiment and disastrously de-
feated, and they in the hurry Of their retreat
forgot their prisoner. He escaped before the
battle closed and made his way home to Mon
ticello on foot, a distance Of 20 miles, where he
arrived after an absence of ten days, half-starved
and much exhausted st. Louis letter.

GEN. PoPE's REroRr.-A Cinci

GEN. PoPE's REPoRT.-A Cincinnati dis
patch. of the 10th inst, says:
Pope's official report of the movements of the
army in Virginia from the time he left Wash
ington for Virginia and until he returned, is
published this afternoon. He attributes the
whole disaster to failure of the Army of the
Potomac to cooperate when he was on the
Rappahannock. He presumed that the Army
of the Potomac would protect the section be-
tween him and Washington. Its failure to do
so caused him to be completely fanked. If he
had turned upon the enemy from the Rappa-
hammock he could have had him completely de-
feated. Fitziohn Porter had drawn off his corps
contrary to written orders, and refused to take
part in the contest, while the enemy was
marching reinforeements past him. Gen. Pope
also censures Gen. Griffin for Withholding his
command from the contest while the battle was
raging. He accuses Mcclellan of refusing to
supply him, when his forces had been without
food for two days, although he had telegraphed
and written urgently requesting supplies to be
sent.
With the little information received by
telegraph of the late battles, we can form
no opinion as to the justice of Pope's char
ges against Generals Porter, Griffin and
McClellan; but when commanding officer
is unsuccessful, ii is natural that he should
attribute the disaster to causes beyond his
control, and to any thing but his own lack
of generalshp. If the late disaster was oc.
casioned, as Pope charges, by the refusal
Porter and Griffin to obey orders, and of
Mcclellan to furnish supplies, the officers
guilty should have been Immediately re-
moved from command. Officers that would,
from jealOusly or other cause, trihe with
the interest of the country, are more dan
gerOus than open and avowed traitors. But
the action Of the Government in appointing
Mcclellan to the command of all the forces
in and about Washington, and sending
Pope to the West, is pretty good evidence
that the charge of the latter against Nc.
Clellan is unjust. The facts must have
been known to the President aud General
Halleck, and if Mcclellan failed to furnish
Pope's army with supplies, it must have
been because he had no supplies to furnish,
or for some other sufficient reason.

METHODIST TCoNFERENCE.-The Conference
Of the Methodist church, for California, met
at San Francisco on Wednesday last, Bish-

we're present at the opening, and others
we're expected soon. This is the largest
ecclesiastical body on the Pacific coast.
The first and second days proceedings were
devoted to the appointment of committees
on various Isubjects, reports of Presiding
Elders, etc. On Friday, as we learn by
telegraph, quite an excitement was created
in consequence of the Rev. W. G. Deal Op.
posing resolutions offered by Rev. J. p.
Peck, Chairman of the Committee on the
state of the country. The resolutions, we
presume, relate to the war, a subject on
which DR.. Deal is supposed to slightly diff
fer with the remainder of bis church.
