The steamer Yankee, Capt. Eastman, ar
rived at the Navy Yard, today, having left
York river ct 8 O'clock yesterday morning.
The Yankee went miles up the York river,
On Sunday night, and anchored off Gloucess
ter Point, where the steamers Penobscot,
and w achussett were already
ying. The rebel batteries at this point are
said to be very extensive, mounting mostly
100 pounders, rifled. They tried the range
Of their guns on the steamers, yesterday, the
slot falling very little short of one. 81,
The vessels then dropped down the river,
and about 8 miles below the point discovered
q party of rebels building battery on the
north bank, on whom the Yankee opened
fire at distance of 4 Of mile. The rebels
seemed 10th to abandon their work, and a.
though the shells of the Yankee fell in their
midst, they did not leave the vicinity, but
took refuge in the woods and behind some
log houses.
The Yankee, after firing some 600 or 700
shots and shells, during an hour and half,
left. As the Yankee was leaving, the boats
Of the Marblehead were on the way to the
shore to hunt the place behind which the reb-
el had taken refuge.

CINCINNATI, April ID.
The Commercial has information from q
reliable man who left the battle ground OH
Thursday evening. He estimates our loss in
killed from 1900 to 1900; wounded $500
to 1000 and missing $500. The rebels lost
more killed than we did and not so many
wounded. About 1000 unwounded rebel
prisoners were taken and about 1900
wounded. Up to the time he left 1900 reb.
els had been buried. Our troops re-took, on
Monday, all the batteries that were taken on
Sunday and captured 70 pieces from the
enemy. The rebels were so confident of their
ability to hold our camp which they took on
Sunday that with single exception they did
not destroy them.
On Tuesday Beauregard sent . flag of truce
requesting permission to bury his dead, and
saying that sowing to the heavy reinforce
ments you received on Sunday night and
Monday, and the fatigue of my men, deem
ed it prudent to retire, and not renew tn
battle"
The permission was not grantad. Tn,
bearer Of the flag admitted that Beauregart
received slight wound in the left arm.
