BALTiMoRG, May 6.-The special CORES

roe says that Gen. McClellan's advance i
beyond Williamsburg, and that our gun
boats are at West Point, having on thei
way up captured or destroyed many rebe
transports.
A report was also current of the captur
of largenumber of prisoners.
! A force had been landed at West Point
and destroyed bridge on the Richmon,
Il York River R. R.
The French war steamer Gassendi cam
down from Yorktown, at o'clock las
evening, bringing the French Minister ant
also Capt. Fox, the assistant Secretary o
the Navy.
We learn that up to O'Clock the steam
ers with Gen. Franklin's division had no
gone beyond Yorktown, but were waiting
to hear from above.
One of the gunboats which went up OF
Sunday morning had returned aud report.

mond.
Several rebel transports we're overtakeu
going up the river. Some were run ashore
those on board escaping, and were burned
others had been captured. The latest reports
say that Gen. Mcclellan was with the nd
vance of the army and was supposed to be
before Williamsburg, in which direction
there had been a brisk caunOnadiug all
day.
Among the prisoners is the Chief of En-
glneers on Gen. JohnsOn's staff, who states
that the whole rebel army Mt Yorktown
amounted to $4,000 men. He gave most
deplorable account of the condition of the
army, and says they will be unable to make
stand anywhere this side of Richmond.
The retreat commenced before daylight
Saturday morning, and he doubts not that
the advance was twenty miles distant at
the time the last gun was fired from York
town.
On Sunday morning Gen. Mcclellan sig
nailed n gunboat lying below Yorktown.
The fact of the evacuation with ins.ruc-
tons to proceed on up the river to West
FONT aud remove all distractions in their
way.
Quite fleet of steamers and vessels
loaded With troops were discovered in the
distance, and pursuit was commenced
resulting III the capture of some of them
whilst others were run ashore and fired by
those on board, who escaped in the woods
1t is said that by three O'Clock in the af-
ternoon the gunbonts had reached West
Point at the head of navigation, 80 miles
above Yorktown, frequently Smelling the
parties yf the enemy that were discovered
flying along the shore, and thanking that
portion of the retrenting army that were
moving towards West Point to take the
Railroad to Richmond.
Immediately in the wake of the gun
boats followed long line of river steam
ers, loaded with troops, carrying General
Franklin's division of $4,000 70 10000
men. These troops reached Yorktown
during the afternoon, aud were stopped
there to await intelligence from the gun
boats. 1t is proposed to land them at
Yorktown, if the reports of the gunboats
are favorable.

bS-A RIcHMoND PAPER.-Gen. Kramer
of the House of Delegates, has handed us
a copy of the Richmond Why, dated March
10, which he received through a friend in
the army at New Market. In the proceed.
ings of the ''Contederate' Congress aud
the Richmond Legislature we find some
doings relative To matters with which the
people out here are acquainted. In the
Senate proceedings appears the following
paragraph:
The bill authorizing the recovery of
money stolen from the Exchange Bank, at
Weston, was reported with amendments.
This refers to the S27, 900 taken by or
der OF the restored government here, near.
ly year ago. a bill "authoriziug the
recovery" of that money would be stu
pendOus joke unless it provided hon it was
10 be recovered. Ia the Senate proceed
iugs the following occurs:
The Senate adopted the joint resolution
relative to Col. WIN. ]. Wiley, and the
resolution calling on the Governor for the
names of disloyal officers of the militia.
We do not understand this. Wiley was
released by the authorities here, if we are
not mistaken, upon condition that he would
go to Richmond and effect an exchange for
some good Union man.
In the proceedings of the Confederate
Congress
The Speaker laid before the House a
communication from the President, trans
hitting the report of Col Taliaferro of the
battle of Carrick's Ford, together with a
communication from the Secretary of War.
transmitting the same to the President.
The report, on motion of Mr.. Russell.
&c. w. was laid upon the table and or
dered to be printed
The paper before us contains the proc
lamation of Letcher calling for forty thou
sand more troops from Virginia. He con-
clndes it as follows:
The loyal citizens of the West aud North
west, in counties not herein named, are
earnestly invoked to form guerilla compa-
MES and strike, when least expected. once
more for the State that gave them birth.
With stern resolve and manly courrge up-
hold the flag, and the uutarnished fame of
the Old Dominion. Scorn the misrule of
traitors who, with usurped authority, are
desecrnting our soil with a pollution worse
than that OF the direst enemy, and execute
vengeance upon the foe who acknowledges
and sustains their treason.
We think that when Pete RICHTER, Rib
lett, the guerilla, and two or three others
now in possession of the Federal Court,
are disposed of, there will be less DISPOSE
ton among the ''loyal citizens of the
Vest to form guerilla companies than
John Letcher supposes.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The boat to Cher
ry Stone Inlet has arrived with dispatches
for the Government.
The enemy are in strong force and en-
trenched near Williamsburg, intending to
dispute the further passage of our troops.
There has been some brisk fighting, in
which Gen. Hancock's Division had taken
two redoubts aud repulsed Enrly,s rebel
brigade by brilliant bayonet charge.
In this engagement General Hancock's
force Is said to have killed two rebel colon
els, two lieutenants and taken $50 prison
ers.
Gen. Mcclellan highly compliments Gen
Hancock's conduct.
AT the time of sending the dispatches
our loss was not known, but it is supposed
te be considerable in proportion to the ex-
tent of the engagement, as the fighting was
quite severe.
Lieut.. Worden visited both branches of
Congress to-day, and met with warm re-
ception from the members.
