FROM YORKTOWN.


New YORK, May 8. The Times has letter,
dated Headquarters, Tuesday morning, which
state that Gen. franklin went up York river
with his divi'ion yesterday, and l hear this
morning that Gen. Ssdgwck has also embarked
a, Yorktown and will join Franklin this morn
ing. They are expected to march from York
river to place called New Kent on the road
between Willlamsburgh and Richmond, and cut
of the rebels retreat. We hear no firing this
morning. 1t is now clock, from which we
infer that the rebels withdrew during the night,
or else our troops are awaiting the arrival of
franklin and Sedgwick in their rear
If the rebels stand where they are they will
find themselves between two formidable armies,
and be compelled either to cut their way through
one OF them or to surrender at discretion. am
inclined to think they will cross the Chickahom.
any river and destroy the bridge and ferry so as
to prevent pursuit. This seems 10 be the only
way in which they can hope to save any portion
OF their army. 1t is barely possible that we may
have hard fighting yet, but the general opinion
Is that the enemy will escape in the way indica-
ted, and that Gen. Mcclellan can advance upon
Richmond without any very formidable oppos-
ton.

BALTIMORE, May g. The Americans cores
pondent under date of Yorktown 7th, IL o'clock
says:
" AS close my letter the latest intelligence
from the field of battle is, that Gen. Mcclellan
has come up with the enemy about eight miles
beyond Williamsburg, and after pretty severe
skirmish with his rear, has again put him to
flight across the Chickahominy. Large numbers
OF prisoners have been taken, including many
deserters who report that they had nothing
to eat but few biscuits for As hours, and when
brought in fell down in state of exhaustion
Heavy cannonading could be heard by boats
coming down the river early this morning, but
the result could not be ascertained.'

or some of his subordinates saw fit 10 suppress
what they consider contraband, but which has
been public for two days. There is no doubt
that the whole army of Lee, Johnston and Ma
gruder are in state of utter Reorganization
and under the rapid pursuit Of Gen. Mcclellan,
are fleeing with great precipitation, with no
intention of making stand anywhere. Unless
they reach Richmond in boats by James river
they will certainly be intercepted and captured
by the forces landing at West Point. Not less
than fifty steamers are engaged in transporting
the balance of the army to West Point Large
numbers of prisoners are arriving at West Point,
and Others are being constantly brought in. On
Monday the the enemy took eighty of our men
prisoners and captured one of the seven bate

sylvanians had blu. a small support of infantry
and were overwhelmed by superior force OF
the enemy and compelled to abandon the bat

battery, with one of the enemy s. was recaptured
BY Gen. Mcclellan. The prisoners taken by the
enemy were found in Williamsburg the next
day engaged in attending on the wounded rebels
who had been left behind. Their retreat was
accompanied by too much confusion and haste
to be troubled with prisoners.

troyed all the bridges across the Chickahominy
