Operations Against Fsrt Macsss
Our ior.es under command Of Gen. Parke
have been rapidly pushing forward siege
trains, and making complete their designs to-
ward reduction Of Fort Macon. Heavy
ordnance could not be rapidly transported to

tho proper means Of railroad transportation.
Platform cars have been drawn down by hor.
ses. and the guns and mortan were oil Ut
their destination several days since. There

AFFAIRS AT YoRKrowS.-The Baltimore cor
of the New York Herald says:

AFFAIRS AT YonKrowS.-The Baltimore cor
respondent Of the New York Herald says;
cit was known at Richmond when the bulk
Of the Union army Of the Potomac, moved from
Manassas to Washington; 1t was known there
when the corps d'armss had landed and were
assembled ut Fortress Monroe; II was known
there when Gen. Mcclellan and his staff arrived
at the Fortress; and il was known there when
the march to Yorktown was commenced, and
what number Of troops Gen. Mcclellan had
wherewith to make the attack. These facts con.
yinced the confederate government ut Richmond
that their hour was come, unless they took In
slant measures to arrest the march OF Gen. Nc
Clellan. The Notifications at Yorktown were
all that could be desired, both rs to strength
and armament. But Gen. Magruder had rs yet
only $4,000 troops. The withdrawal OF such q
large number of Union troops from Manassas
renders II unnecessary to keep the main body OF
the army Of the Rappahannock along that
stream, and from that army accordingly Gen.
Magruder has been largely reinforced. The
number Of rebeltroops there cannot be less than
0,Ooo."

There Il no newsof much importance from
the army before Yorktown. Thursdays 70.
ports from Fortress Monroe state that contin
ual diminishing was going on, varied by oc-
casional artillery duels Of more or less mag
nitude. One Of the latter, in which Griffin's
battery participated, resulted in killing and
wounding ~ rebels. ,I
The enemy's position, as before stated, ex.
tends across the peninsula, from Yorktown
to Warwick, near tho James river, and their
Notifications command oil the roads up the
peninsula. II Is understood that Gen. Lee
and Gen. Joseph 4. Johnston are both with
the rebel force behind these Notifications, ono
commanding at Warwick and the other at
Yorktown. while Nagruder holds subordi.
nate position, and is with the reserve ut VIII.
liamsburgh.
The good weather which commenced on
Thursday has doubtless aided In facilitating
the operations Of our forces.
Under date Of Fortress Monroe, April 9th,
the correspondent Of the Philadelphia In
quircr writes "The roads nre In horrible

About thirty rebel forts and Publications have
Also been captured since the first Of January
rhs Federal reverses have been in New Mexico
alone. where the enemy have occupied three or
four evacuated military posts and towns.
The following facts in connection with this
war are worth bearing In mind;
1. That no retel soldier has yet planted q loot
on the soil Of the free States, except As pris-
oner Of war.
q Tia, the Union troops have always been
victorious in the open Geld, their reverses being
invariably caused by indiscreet and unskiiiiui
attack on strongly fortified positions.
.. That since the fall Of Sumter the rebels
have never taken . fort or strongly fortified
position, while they have been compelled to va
cate and surrender places Of immense strength.
