From Yorktown.

BALTIMORE, April 9,--A letter to the New
York Herald says the accounts of the progress
OF afiairs at Yorktown, which have reached this
city through channels believed TO be reliable,
differ materially from accounts furnished by the
Government. IL was known ct Richmond when
a portion Of the Union army of the Potomac
moved from Manassas to Washington; 1t was
known there when the corps d'armee mad land
ed and were assembled at Fortress Monroe; II
was known there when General Mcclellan and
rtsif arrived at Fortress Monroe; II was known
there when the march on Yorktown commend
ed, and what number of troops Mcclellan had
whsrewith to make the attack. These facts
convinced the Confederate Government at
Richmond that their hour was come, unless
they took instant measures to oppose the march
of General Mcclellan. The Notifications OF
yorktown we're all that could be desired, both
az to strength and armament; but Gen. Ma
gruder had as yet only thirty-five thousand
troops. The withdrawal of such o large mum.
ber Of troops from Manassas rendered 1t neces-
sary to keep the main body Of the army Of the
Rappahaunock along that stream; and from
that arm accordingly General, Msgruder has
been largely reinforced. Troops have been ar.
riving at Yorktown from Richmond and Cor
donsville every day for the last week. IL Ii
believed that General Johnson and JEFF. DaviI
are both at Yorktown, and General Johnson Ii
In command. The number Of rebel troop
there cannot be less than one hundred thous

4 During his remarks he was called to order
from the Republican side, when he remarked
he supposed If he had uttered some foul abuse
OF slavery he would have been heard. The hot
haste with which the bill was pressed more than
ever convinced him it was covered with imper-
fections. At tho same time he believed slave
ry ought to be abolished in the District, but
this could be effected in the proper way.
Mr.. Wickliffe offered O substitute for the bill,
IN substance, that no person not now in the
District Of Columbia, or who may hereafter be
born therein, shall be held as slaves. Persons
coming to reside temporarily In the District
may bring their servants with themj those now
held as elaves to remain such until emanciplted
by their respective owners; compensation TO be
paid therefor. The bill to receive the approval
OF the legal voters.
Mr.. Vallandighsm was opposed to any bill
for the abolition of slavery 10 The District Of
Columbia, for various reasons, one of which
alone was sufficient. He regarded all this class
OF legislation as tending to prevent the rostora-
tion of the Union OF tho States az 1t was; this
was the grand object to which he looked In a
very little while the question will be between
the old onion of the States, the Union Of our
fathers, and a new Union or unity Of govern
mens. To the latter he was unalterably and
Internationally opposed, and to this he was
pound to the last moment Of bib personal aud
political existence, He spoke Of this bill as
initiatory on the part of the Republicans to in
reference with slavery In the States This
charge had heretofore been denied as Locofo-
co lie.

tute, II that part providing for 1t to be passed

to remark to those who insist that the Repub
lloans intend to interfere with slavery in the
states, they are mistaken, He believed Con.
gress could do no better thing than TO abolish
slavery in the District OF Columbia II would
expend the power of Cong gress and tend 70 quiet
agitation.
Mr. Dunn said so far as the remark of loco.
ioco lie was concerned, that was about truth
Ii was never the purpose Of the Republican par

FFrom GEN. mcOlelIan's Corps.

BALTIMORE, April IL The Old Point boat hal
arrived. The following are the main points OF
letter from the Americans special correspond
ent, dated Fortress Monroe, April III:
Nothing has been seen or heard OF the Mer'
rlmac to-day, and Ia view of the recent reversea
of the rebels, It 10 doubted whether they will
attempt offensive operations even with their
iron.piated monster. Their desperate straits
may induce attempts at something In this way
If she ever does come, she will probably come
tomorrow.
Parties who come in from the army report no
special change in affairs. Continued sklrmish.
Ing is going on, and brilliant affair occurred
on Monday, In which Grifin's battery partlci-
pated with marked effect, killing and wounding
twenty -eeVen rebels.
The rebel position extends across the Penin-
sula from Yorktown to Warwick, near James
River, and short distance above Mulberry
Point. The conformation of the land and the
waking In OF the creek from James River,
shortens their lines Of defense and enables them
TO command With their Notifications oil the
roads up the Peninsula. Generals Lee and
Johnston are both reported to be with the rebel
force here--one commanding at yorktown and
the other OF Warwick. Magruder, holding a
subordinate command, is with the reserves OF
Williamsburg.
According TO reports of deserters, the rebel
force Dumbers about fifty thousand men, OF
whom thirty thousand are reinforcements re-
Gently drawn from the line of the Rappahan-
mock, and about Norfolk. Despite the weather
and bad roads, our Generals are pushing for
ward preparations for the assault upon the en-
emy's works, and not many days will elapse be-
fore YorktoEn will be ours and Richmond
threatened.
The glorious news from the west ig acting as
an excellent stimulsnt for our army and greatly
encourages the troops. Boidan's eharp shooters
give good accounts Of themselves. They hold an
advanced position, under the rebel batteries,
from which they constantly harrass the enemy.
A head above the parapet becomes an instaSt
mark for half dozen rifles, which, at one
thousand yards distance, rarely fail to hit their
mark. One sharp shooter, belonging to the
California regiment, has almost wholly prevent
ed the rebels from using large gun In an i'm
pOrtant position. From well selected rife pit,
he keeps a constant aim upon the gun and hard
ly an attempt has been made for two days to
fire 1t without the rebels loosing one or two
men from bis deadly aim.
Ii is stated that one OF our divisions has sc.
cured an important position, the holding Of
which will lead to the eventual forcing oil the
rebel line of defense.
Mucn important preliminary work has been
performed by our troops, and with the return of
good weather, active operations will not be
postponed many days. The task before McClel-
Ian, in reducing fortified entertainments, is one
for which he is held specially qualified. The
result is not doubted.
