WAR ITEMS.
A small party of our men. reconnoiterino
after the recent battle before Richmond. met
an omnibus drawn by four fine bay horses,
going at a speedy rate towards Richmond, and
containing two officers. Driving the horses
were two contrabands The officer in com
mand cried out for them to stop, but no atten-
ton was paid to the summons, and he ordered
his men to fire. One of the officers iumped
out and escaped; the other was shot as he
had his head out of the window urging the
contrabands to go faster. The driver now
held up. The lieutenant in command safely
piloted the stage within our lines. As it made
its appearance, emerging from the wood on
the Williamsburg road, where but a few hours
ago the enemy were disputing our advance, it

sent down by, Gen. Mcclellan, from Rich

The Vicksburg (Miss.) Citizen of May 23d,
says-''Our scouting parties have thus effect
ed but very little in harassing the enemy. In
a little skirmish on Monday they succeeded in
wounding five Yankees, but we also had one
OF our best men seriously wounded. SO far
the Yankees have had things their own way,
having taken one of our cavalry prisoner, cap
tured several citizens of Warrenton, killed
Mr. johnson, destroyed jeff Davis and Joe
Davis's farms, and committing depredations
ad libituds everywhere. Why is it that our
scouts cannot cut off these vandal parties ?"
VIII not Yallandigham, pertinently asks the
Providence journal, introduce a resolution
into Congress proposing to remunerate his
friend, jeff Davis, for this cruel raid upon his
plantation?
