IMPORTANT FROM NORTH
CAROLINA.

New YORK, May l7.--News from North
Carolina state that Gov. CLARK has refused
to furnish any more troops to JEFF. Davis,
and has recalled all the North Carolina
soldiers now in the rebel army.
North Carolina has held a Convention
of its citizens and pronounced against Civ
ing farther aid to the rebellion, thus virtual
ly returning to the Union.
In reply to the demand OF JEFF. Davis for
additional troops and means of transporta-
ticn for his army to and through the Cot
ton States, Gov. Clarke said that Davis had
received all the aid from North Carolina
that he could expect, and that hereafter no
more troops would be permitted to leave
the State, and he has ordered all the North
Carolina State troops home.
Gov. Clarke also informed the rebels that
they could use the railroads in retreatiDg
homewards, and that they would run their
own risk of being intercepted by Union
force at any part of the STATE.

ed "What fools! l wish something bard

much worse than those of our soldiers.
They do not seem to bear their suffering as
patiently as our men. Doubtless their
state OF mind has something to do with it.
Nothing will ever tend so much to con

no difference being made between them and
our own men. Such is the philanthropy Of

following special:

Fort Pickens opened furious lombard

A Federal vessel with a flag of truce came
up to the city, demanding surrender.
Major Ballbe refused to comply with the de-

city tomorrow, but that the citizens need
not be alarmed.

We fought them four hours, until we got
out of ammunition, when we had to retire.
We got twenty eight shots in our side and
seventeen on deck. We had twelve men
killed and two dangerously wounded, who
have since died, and fifteen slightly wounded.
We made a gallant fight, but had we
taken the battery we could not have held
it, and the distractions in the river pre-.
vented our going up any higher. One thing
we have demonstrated, the Galena can
stand heavy shot at short range. We
fred 238 rounds, all that we had. If we
had had plenty of shells, we could have ST.
fenced the rebels in two hours. '
She then passed and re passed the second
battery six times, but finding they were
using so much ammunition for which we
expect to have better use farther up, Com.
mander Rodgers ordered the wooden vessels
to run up whilst he in the Galena lay
abreast of the battery and disconnected the
rebel gunrers. 5,'
The Galena then followed, but the buoys
had been displaced, so that the pilots last
evening run the Galena ashore, and she is
still aground. None of our vessels are seA

half mile off Bailey, pouring broadside

Col. Lyttle's force, the enemy succeeded in
removing their artillery, baggage and stores
before the arrival OF General Hegley. I
expected an obstinate defense of the passage
OF the Elk river, and accompanied Colonel
Lyttle in person, but without crossing. The
enemy, as usual, fed at our appearance.
I ordered yesterday an expedition to
move promptly from Rogersville to seize the
bridge across Shad Greek, and the ferry.
boat below the mouth of the same stream.
This duty has been promptly executed, and
the terry and bridge are ours. No more
troops will enter from that region, and We
have now upon this side of the river 1900
or 1900 cavalry of the enemy, in bands of
300 or 400, whom we will endeavor to hunt
down, destroy or capture. The gunboat
which l have extemporized will be ready
for service today, and will soon be able to
pay my respects to the enemy on the cas-
tern side of the region under my command.

WILLIAMSBURG, May 1.-THE gunboats
Galena, Monitor, Aroostook, Naugatuck,
and Port Royal were repulsed from Fort
Darling, seven miles below Richmond, yes
terday.
A portion have returned to Jamestown
Island, near this place, in the James river.
Seventeen men have already been buried

exploded at the first fire.
(Sgned) DAVID CAMPBELL.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-Fort Darling,
where our gunboats were engaged, is stu,
ated on bluff, 200 feet above the river,
high enough to direct fire upon attacking
boats which could not use their guns in re-
spouse.
A loyal black who left Richmond Fri
day, brought the first news OF the fight
which was at that time going on. The
Richmond people were very apprehensive of
the result.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-It is unoficially
stated that Commodore G0ldsboro has TAX
en- possession of batteries on James River,
two of which were silenced by the Galena
on her way to Richmond.
WASHINGTON, May I8.-No official res
port of the gunboat affair on james river
yet received. Messages received indicate
an opportunity to be better in future. The
river is now clear of distractions to within
eight miles of Richmond. At that point is
heavy battery on high bluff The river
is temporarily closed to navigation by sunk
en- vessels, among which are reported the
Yorktown and jamestown, piles, chains,
&c.
| The Monitor could not elevate her guns
to reach the bluff, which rendered her uses
less. The banks of the river are filled with
rifle pits, from which an incessant fire was
poured on the fleet, a part of which were
engaged within six hundred to one thousand
yards of the main battery. After an action
of four hours the feet, finding it impracti-
cable to silence the battery on the bluff,
withdrew. Our loss is thirteen killed and
eleven wounded. Full particulars are ex-

On Wednesday morning General Sher,
mans advance encountered the enemy'e
pickets near bridge over small creek. or
the extreme right Of our line, four miles
from Corjnth. A brisk skirmish ensued
which was kept up until two o'clock in the
afternoon, when General Sherman brought
up two howitzers and commenced throwing
shell among the rebels. They soon retired
but renewed the attack, and succeeded on
Thursday in burning the bridge, after a
brisk skirmish, when they retreated. Twelve
of our men were wounded, and none killed
Two pickets of the 18th Louisiana regi
ment we're captured by our cavalry on FRI
day, within three-quarters of mile from
the enemy's entertainments.
Deserters report universal dissatisfaction
among the rebel army. Their troops have
been principally fed for some weeks on hard
bread and molasses. The statements Of
deserters, however, are not regarded 10 our
army as very reliable, and little attention is
given them.
Passengers from Pittsburg Landing give
currency to report brought into our camp
by deserters, that Bragg commands the
rebel army at Corinth, Beauregard having
gone east. Price commands the right wing,
Polk the center, and Van Dorm the left.
FROM THE FIELD DIRECT.
BEFORE CoR1NTH, May ia general
advance was made today along our line to'
wards Corinth. There has been much skir-
mishing and several severe engagements Of
General Sherman's division. Our loss is
forty-four killed and considerable mum
Der wounded, in attacking Russell's house,
which the rebels have occupied for some
time past, worrying our pickets.
We are expecting an attack Tomorrow
morning.
Among the killed rebels left on the
ground was one with sword, supposed to
be an officer. Our forces under General
Sherman occupy the house.
The 9Th Missouri has been diminishing
today only about 300 yards from the enes
my's breastworks.
Several rifles were captured in the skir-
mish on the right, which are perfectly new
and marked Bruse & Fryman, Bremen.
They are much superior to the rifles used by
our sharpshooters, having a range of from
800 to 1900 yards, while ours are only eff
fectual at 1000 yards.
In all cases the rebels left on the field
were shot in the head, and the wounded
shot in neck and breast. The enemy's loss
on the field is about 40 killed and 100
wounded.
Deserters from Corinth all report the
entire absence of chloroform in their medi.
cal stores. There is probably none in the
confederacy.

WHITE HOUSE, Va, May l9.-The army
commenced marching at an early hour this
morning in the direction of Richmond, and
will encamp some miles in advance of this
place.
The advance, under General; Stoneman,
reached the railroad bridge at the Chick
ahominy. 1t is long, tressel bridge, two
spans only of which are burned. 1t can be
rebuilt in very short time.
The pickets of the enemy's line are guard
ing the whole line of the river in front of
Richmond, making it difficult to get any
reliable information from there.
Gen. Mcclellan went on reconnaissance
to day to the Chickahominy. The pro-
