The CITY IA Danger.

WASHINGTON, May 25-McClellan reports
progress in front Of Richmond
Halleck has been Joined by Gen. Cuttis'a
force. ---
a dispatch received tonight states that Gen.
Banks made good his retreat across the Potomac
at Williamsport. Gen, Ssxton commands at
HarpeE'e Ferry.
The city is intensely excited By intelligence
from the valley of the Shenandoah. Gen.
Banks fought the enemy for elk hours.
The rebels are understood to be advancing
from Winchester to Hsrper's Ferry. Our
troops are being reinforced. Rumor says Jack
son is advancing to support Ewsll and Johnson.
II 10 aso stated that there is still snoiher force
behind him.
Prompt means have been taken to meet the
exigency.
New 'YcRK, May 20 The Times special
from Washington, May 25, says we have pass
ed a very exciting day In Washington. The in
telligence received last evening to the etfeo!
that Gen. Banks had fallen back from Strss-
burg to Winchester, was understood to indicate
rather a precautionary measure en- bis part, than
the result of any immediate movement of the
enemy.
The tidings of this morning announcing the
occupation of Winchester by Jackson, and the
withdrawal Of Banks after an engagement Of
six hours, in the direction of Martinsburg and
Harper's Ferry, placed matters in new light,
and aroused serious apprehensions not only for
the safety OF his little command, but for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the city Of Bal
timore and even the capital.
Later In the day the reports of the rloting In
Baltimore and tho rout of the entire force of
Banks by the quick march and overwhelming
numbers of Jackson, greatly intensified the ex.
citement. The secession sympathizers, too
greatly elsted to conceal their joy, openly ex-
press their belief that the hosts of JEFF. Davis
will overrun Maryland and the District within
twenty four hours
The reports of rioting in Baltimore, doubt.
less greatly exaggerated, have given the enemy g
Of the Union here increased bOdness this even.
ing. At no time since the disaster of Bull Run
have they been go vaunting and defiant among
loyalists.
The feeling is one of regret that BY some
body's blunder our course in the valley of the
Shenandoh should have been go seriously se,
back ana the enemy given such decided ad-
vantage. Great sympathy is expressed for the
Union men of Winchester and vicinity.

NEW YoRK, May 26.--The Herald's cores.
pondent from Banks's division, writes that sev-
on thousand men had been added to the force in
the Shenandoah Valley, and that the whole force
was said to number from eighteen to twenty
thouse1d, with thirty-four pieces of artillery,
one of which was "a FOUNDER riAed gun.
| On the 9th of May he said there was a large
rebel force In the mountains or their vicinity,
but that General Banks had enough men TO keep
them in check; but It appears that on the 18th
both General Shields and General Geary were
withdrawn from General B4pks's command, and
their troops transferred to McDowell's.
Ia letter of the Itch, we find these Generals
snd their forces bad efs to join Mcdowell and
that two days previously union had been eff
fec.ed between the commands of the rebel Gen
erals Johnson, Jackson and E Eseil, and they were
marching upon the divided and reduced forces
Of Banks. The telegraph now brings Us the in
telligence that General Banks has fallen back
before superior force Of the rebels, who are
occupying the whole Of the Shenandoah Valley,
which has cost US so much trouble to rescue
from their clutches. ;
