clock.
Our ship McRae csme mp from the

wounded. She communicated with the
Federal flag ship. bat the result is not
known. 1t is rumored that tho Federals
refused to let bsr return.
In conference with one Of the Federal
officers. after the correspondence between
the Mayor and Farragut, the officer left,
declaring he would shoot down the flag
on the City Hall If it was not hauled
down. He actually brought his ship
within range. but has not fred thus far.
1t is reported that Freach and English
men-of-war below will enter their protest
against shelling the city.
1t is believed that the Yankee vessels
are short both Of provisions and smmuni-
tion.
The city is remarkably orderly. bot the
excitement is intense aud the feeling Of
humiliation is deep.

Lategt By Telegraph.

Latest By Telegraph.
Il is unnecessary for us to put in type
the great mass Of stuff which comes to rs
BY telegraph. but We shall give .ynopsis
Of the most interesting reports.
Yorktown was evscuated before day
light on Saturday morning. and taken
possession Of BY our forces. Some IS
pieces Of artillery and . vast quantity Of
aumunition and stores were captured.
The place was getting too hot for the chiv-
slrous Southerners; their men were mu-
tinying and completely demoralised; and
they embraced the last opportunity to es-
cape.
Mcclellan sent gunbosts and transports
in hot pursuit up York River. They
found the enemy strongly entrenched at
Williamsburg. determined to make .
stand. A battle ensued. and bayonet
charge was made. routing the rebels. who
are retrcating precipetstely to Richmond.
Over Thousand prisoners were taken;
and Mcclellan telegraphs that prisoners
and captured artillery are being brought
in every hour. There is no doubt that
Richmond is doomed.
A grand advance has commenced by
Gen. Halleck. in Tennessee, and several
heavy skirmishes have taken place near
Corinth. In one of them. Gen Pope
captured the whole of the epemy's force
engaged, numbering over 1000. A great
battle is at hand down there, unless the
enemy sneak away.
Gen. Buffers force now occupy New
Orleans, and Baton Rouge has been taken.
Forts Jackson and St. Philip have fallen.
and the enemy lost eleven of their gun
boats. including Hollins' celebrated turtle
Manassas"
The French Minister is said to have
gone to Richmond. to inform JEFF. Davis
4 Co. that England and France cannot
acknowledge them as power among na-
tions. They gave them oil reasonable
chances to establish their independence;
but they have been fairly beaten in arms
and the blockade is eHectual. Therefore,
it is expected they will lay down their
arms and cease hostilities. The burning
of the cotton and tobacco crops. and 9TH
er barbsrous proceedings. which have
been threatened BY the Southerners. will
not be tolerated by the nations of Europe.
The citizens Of Memphis are preparing
to leave npon the approach of the Union
troops. 1t is rumo5ed that Corinth is
evacuated, and Gen. Pope in possession.
Nothing positive.
The Pacific Railroad and Telegraph
Bill has passed the House. and the Home
stead Bill has passed the Senate. Not
much prospect Of stringent con6scation
bill. Too many cork-legs in Congress.
The Confeds. have determined TO sur
render Savannah. and the Americans
aregetting uncomfortably near Charleston.
Secretary Seward has notified foreign
ministers that the blockade of New Or
leans has been raised, and that commerce
to that city is re-opened.
The rebel successes during the past
week have been. the surprise of q COM
pany Of Nebraska troops down in Ken
tucky. by . regiment of JEFF. Thomp-
sons men the capture Of few Fedsr-
ais BY Morgan's band in Tennessee and
news of the destruction of an American
schooner by the privateer Nashville.

Southern papers speak in = most dis
NAL strain Of the surrender Of New Or
leans. The Day Book says it is the most
serious reverse of the war. 1t suggests
the future privstions Of all classes. and
threatens our army supplies.
The following are the latest dispatches
in the Richmond papers received by Ad-
jutant General Cooper from Gen. Lowell:
CAnP MOORE. April 27.
Forts jackson and St. Phillips are still
in good condition. and in our hands. The
steamers Louisiana and McRae are safe.
The enemy's fleet is at the city. but they
have not force enough to occupy it. The
inhabitants are staunchly loyal.

The forts on Lake Pontchartrain were
all evacuated on the 25th. We have sus-
tanned considerable loss in supplies and
dismantling. but not in destroying guns.
At Fort Pike al the buildings were burn
ed. including the telegraph office. All
the gun boats on the Jake have been
burned by our own people. The Mobile
boat Whitman Brown. and several 9TH
ers. are running troops and stores Of or
dnance to Msnchoct, after which we fear
they will be burned.
