New YolK, May ia letter from Cumber-
land, Va, dated May l3, says an attempt was
made this afternoon by the rebels on our left to
capture some of our wagons, hundreds Of which
line the roads between here and Buck House
Point, but cannot learn that they succeeded.
upon our wagon train, Gen. Mcclellan, accom-
panied BY his staff, was making a reconnois-
ssnce, and came in sight of the rbbel cavalry
before he was aware of his proximity. By
dins of hard riding he escaped, and took COM
mand of what force there was at hand, and dis
persed the rebels.
It is reported here tonight that two rebel reg
iments have been cut of in their retreat, by the
burning of Bottom Bridge by our forces. II
this be true, they are, in the language OF the

BEFoRE CoRINTH, May 16.-The Memphis
Avalanche Of the 18th inst, contains the follow
ing:
FoRT Pillow, May l2.--We fought the enc.
nv with four of our lightest boats, one hour
and half We sunk one gunboat and two
mortar boats Our loes was two killed and eight
wounded; that of the enemy was very heavy,
as our sharp p-ahooters literally moved them
down. We fought side by side with the enemy.
Not one shot passed through our breastworks.
Our upper works are riddled, but we are ready
to battle again, We will be able to hold the
river.
Speaking Of the fall of Norfolk, the Ava
lanche says: But worse than all the Merfimac,
ON which we so confidently rest, was burned Of
Craney Island on Saturday night. Such is the
tenor, in brief, of the painful intelligence which
flashed over the wires.
There we're three cases Of yellow fever at
New Orleans at last accounts--two in the Char
ity Hospital, and one In the French part Of the
city.
The Avalanche also says that It has been
finally decided that Savannah shall never be
surrendered.
The Provost Marshal at Memphis has re.
ceived instructions from the military authori.

Notwithstanding the Federal progress, w

The Avalanche thinks that real estate is tn,

WAsHrNaroN, May 17.--Since yesterday,
eight or ten fugitive slaves have been returned
to their claimants. Il 10 estimated that there
were In Washington recently about one thous.
and slaves, principally from Prince Georges,
Md, adjoining this District. AT least forty
from that county were at the Court
House to-day, filing their petitions for reclama
tion. The runaWays, In some cases as many as
twenty-one, are claimed by q single person.
In several instances, after the Court had issued
the necessary writs, the marshal and his depu.
ties were unable to find the fugitives, who,
having by some means been informed of the ju-
dicial process, removed beyond the reach OF
arrest.
A special to the Post says: The President
decided this morning to modify Gen. Hunters
proclamation emancipsting the slaves.
WAsHIEGToN, May H.--The following Is ex.
tracted from a dispatch to the Secretary of
War, dated Rectortown, Va, May l6:
A company Of infantry Of my command was
yesterday ordered TO Linden to remain stationed
there. A detachment Of seventeen men, guard
to the company wagon, reached there a short
time before tho main body Of the company,
which was on train. They were attacked by
q body Of cavalry, variously estimated at from
three hundred to six hundred, coming upon
them from four different directions. Our men
resisted them, keeping up sharp FIRE under
shelter Of the depot, which was riddled with
bullets. My men were overpoWered one was
killed and fourteen were taken prisoners, three
Of whom were wounded, when the enemy has.
tily retired under fire, and / am informed that
Q portion Of General Shields command had q

Gen. HunIer,s Proclamation a Dead
Letter.

NEW YoRK, May 1.-THE Times special
says: Hunters proclamation excites ecarcely
sny interest In Washington, no one attaching
any importance as to its efficacy to produce the
end designed. Martial law is only enforced by
martial power, aud Hunter has no force at his
command adequate TO enforce this proclamation.
His declaring freedom TO all the slaves in three
States, when he has no power to free single
one outside of his camp, is regarded In Wash
ington as an act of qualification highly dscred-
table to any one holding the rank of General,
supposed to have ordinary intelligence.
II the military power Is withdrawn from Hun
ter's department before his proclamation is ex.
ecuted throughout these States, it is conceded
that the civil power will not complete or coun-
tenance what martial law proclaimed, but did
not practically execute.
The Presidents policy is supposed to be au-
thoritatively settled by his action in Fremont's
case, in which all his cabinet concurred Fre-
mont freed by PROCLAMATION the slaves Of all
men engaged in the rebellion. Hunters proc
lamation frees the slaves of all men in lhree
States, whether they have eDgsgnd in rebellion
or not-punishing loyalists as well as traitors,
ard all because he has declared martial law
where he has confessedly no ability to execute
1t.
II is understood that Hunter took no specific
instructions from the President in regard to the
management of matters in his Department, but
was left, as all other military commanders have
been, to his own discretion in his attempt to re-
establish the Constitution and laws In the re-
volted States.
II is said the President will be waited on thil
evening by gentlemen to ascertain under what
authority Hunter is acting.
The Tribune's Washington special says
Gen. Hunters proclamation, 1t can be positive
] ly stated, was issued without the authority oil
7 knowledge of the President, whom 1t took en-
tirely by surprise. What will be done with Il
is question yet to be settled. There was M
Cabinet meeting to day, and It is not probable
that any determination will be made until thu
three members of the Cabinet Secretaries
Seward and Welles, and Attorney Genera
Bates--who are still at Fortress Monroe, re
turn, which will not be till Monday.

GeneraI Hunter TO be RecaIlod.

NEW YoRK, May 1.-THE Herald's dispatch
from Washington says The Hunter proca
nation has presented ON unavoidable issue
which, it 10 believed, will result in the breaking
up of the Cabinet. The President has express
ed not only dissatisfa aCtion, but indignation. II
is ascertained that four members Of the Cabi-
net sustain the course of General Hunter, but
one at least Of these Is known to entertain diff.
ferent views.
It is stated positively that General Hunter
will be recalled, and the characteristic frmness
of the President will be exhibited In the manner
in which he will meet the issue thus forced up
on him, and that he will, whether with or with
out the support of the Cabinet, act substantially
with his repeatedly expressed opinions and in.
tentions.
