The advance, under Con. Stonemsn, reach
ed Coal Harbor, on the road to Richmond,
by way Of New Bridge, yesterday, where he
found the enemy to be in force. He drove
their pickets to within two miles of theii
main body, and encamped for the night.
Everything indicates that the rebels in.
tend to defend Richmond with all the avail
able force they are able to bring forward
Congressman and Representatives from
every Southern State aie there. encouraging
their troops by their presence and council
to determined resistance to an advance of
the Union troops.
Two officers, who came within our lines
with flag of truce, about week since, on
a trivial pretence, were allowed to return
yesterday.
Com. Goldsborough paid q visit to head.
quarters last night, for the purpose of an in
teryiew with Gen. Mcclellan.
The Richmond papers of the 10th have
been received They contain the cores
pOndence between the Virginia Legislature
and jeff Davis, in relation to the recent
movements of the rebel army. He stated
that he had never entertained thought Of
withdrawing the army from Virginia, and
abandoning that State that if, in the course
Of events, the capital should fall, the neces-
sity for which, he did not see or anticipate,
that it would be no reason for withdrawing
the army from Virginia. This war could be
successfully maintained on Virginia soil for
twenty years.
The rebel Gen. J. B. Floyd has been up.
pointed Major General of Virginia forces,
with authority to raise force of 10000
men, now conscripts, for the defence of
Western Virginia.
The engagement at Dury's Bluff, miles
below Richmond, between our gunboats
and the enepys batteries, created great
panic among the people of Richmond. They
acknowledge loss Of six killed and seven
wounded.

The Gunboat Affair on James River
--Why they Retired.

WASHINGTON, May lS.-No official re.
port Of the gunboat affair on the james
river has been received at the Navy Depart
ment, but the messages received on the SUBJ
ject indicate an opportunity to do better in
the future.
The river is now clear Of obstruction to
within eight miles of Richmond. At that
point there is q heavy battery, mounted on
a high bluff, and the river is temporarily
closed to navigation by sunken vessels,
among which are said to be the Yorktown
and Jamestown, and by piles, chains, etc.
The Monitor could not elevate her guns
sufficiently to reach the highest battery,
which rendered her useless.
The banks of the river were filed with
rife pits, from which an incessant fire was
poured upon the feet, part Of which was
engaged at from 600 to 1000 yards Of the
main battery. .g.s.
After an action of four hours, tho feet,
finding it impossible to silence the battery
under the circumstances, withdrew.
Our loss was l3 killed and wounded,
among the later,e Lieut. Morris, by . MIME
ball in the leg, not seriously.
1t is expected that full particulars will be
received in the morning.

gia and Florida, comprising the military
Department Of the South, having delber-
ately declared themselves no longer under
the protection ofth United States Of Ameri-
ca, and having taken up arms against the
President OF the United States, It becomes
q military necessity to declare them under
martial law. This was accordingly done on
the 25th day of April; 1862.
Slavery and martial law in free country
are altogether incompatible. The persons
in these three States Georgia, Florida and

are therefore declared forever free.

that the Government Of the United States
had no knowledge, information or belief Of

Dreadful Disaster at Wheeling.

Since going to press we have learned Of a
terrible disaster at Wheeling. During the
storm of yesterday, one end Of the Luth-
ereah Church, on Chaplain Street, Centre
Wheeling, was blown in. In the basement
story was school, and the brick wall went
crushing through, burying the teachers and
children. The stories received here by yes
terday evenings Buses we're very inco-
herent. :; 1t is said, however, that about 25
human beings are buried in the ruins. Four
dead and one terribly mangled had been
taken out when our informant left.
A steamboat was also blown ashore during
the gale, and the whole cabin blown off.
We hear that the wind was very destruc-
tive of trees and fences along the line of the
Central Ohio Railroad. On some farms all
the fences are blown down.
