AFFAIRS NEAR RICHMOND.


New YORK, July 1.-The correspondent of
a Philadelphia paper, dated the night of the
2Sth, says 1--WE are still fighting. Fort
Darling will be ours tomorrow, and possibly
Richmond will be occupied and the rebel
army cut to pieces by the 4th of July. Gen.
Mcclellan remarked tonight to the bearer of
dispatches that we were everywhere victori-
Gus but that the great battle had Just begun,
and he could not make report until the job
is done"
The Tribune makes the following statement,
from an unquestionable source. There is
reason to believe that the statement is in the
main correct, as information from other
sources deemed reliable, corroborates it:
''The latest advices from Mcclellan, re-
ceived at Washington yesterday noon, were
up to two o'clock Saturday afternoon. Up to
that time he had successfully carried out the
pl an he pointed out some time ago, which
plan was to swing his right wing toward the
rear, which included all the forces north of
half way between Bottoms Bridge and New
Bridge, at the same time advance his left
wing towards James river, opening commune
cation with the gunboats. The attack of the
enemy last Thursday in great force necessi-
tated this stragetic movement, and in chang
ing his base, of course White House Landing
was abandoned.
''All the sick and wounded, ordnance, and
cOmmissarY stores, troops, and property were
there, embarked under the superintendent
of Gen. Casey, and on Monday were at Tur-
key Island, on James river, eight miles below
fort Darling, and fifteen miles below Rich
mOnd. After an interruption of communica-
ton between Gen. Mcclellan and Washington
for forty-eight hours, his left wing touched
James river near Turkey Island bridge. He
Immediately opened communication with
Com. Rodgers of the Potomac flotilla, and
through him with Washington. The result
may be that the steam transports may relieve
his soldiers of the fatigue OF marching on
Richmond by landing them near the rebel
capital, after the gunboats have cleared the
Instructions. Our army is now eXtricated
from the malarious swamps of the Chicka-
hominy, and are on the high grounds of
James river"
1t is reported fight took place Monday,
between the North Carolina and Virginia
troops, both using grape and canister.
A letter from White House dated 26th
states that Capt. Spencer of the army was
arrested'by order Of Gen. Mcclellan for dis
loyalty. He was placed aboard the gunboat
Marblehead. His uncle was judge in Mary
land, and has been lately arrested for treason,
whereupOn the captain laid down his sword
and refused to do duty.

LATEST FROM THE PENINSULA.
Evacuation of York River


RUMORS BUT NOT CERTAINTIEs.
FORTRESS MONROE, June S0.-The York
river is being completely cleared of every
thing movable. Steamers and tugs are CON
stantly arriving at Fortress Monroe, having
in tow barges, schooners, &c. Many arrived
here last evening and during the night This
morning the steamer Spauding arrived, hav-
ing eight barges and schooners in tow. She
reports that one hundred and fifty barges,
schooners and tow-boats were at Yorktown
when she left, but all were making prepara-
tons to come down to-day. Nearly, II not
all of the government stores were removed
from White House before that place was
burned.
The government telegraph from White
House and vicinity has not worked since sat
urday, at o'clock. The falling back Of the
right wing of the army was done in the most
perfect order, and is not looked upon as dis
astrous movement, but as one under the cir
cumstances well planned, after the union OF
Stonewall Jackson and Johnson's forces. We
hear Of skirmishing going on along our lines,
but can get no details.
have learned from Lieut.. Walter Waite,
one of Gen. Casey's aids, that the burning OF
White House was either an accident or the
work Of an incendiary, as Gen. Casey gave
explicit orders for White House not to be de-
stroyed.
Reports are current to-day that Gen. Nc
Clellan has taken Richmond but there is no
GOOD authority for the rumor, the telegraph
not being at work, and there not being boat
from the James river, although boat is hour
ly expected. Schooners have been arriving
here all day, loaded with cattle, horses, mules,
hay, and commissary stores. There was
nothing left above West Point when the last

New YORK, July 1.-The steamship Scotia
from Liverpool 2lst and Queenstown 22d ar
lived this morning. The London Times pub
fishes letter from its New York correspon-
dent, in which he says if England and France
intend stepping in at the last moment, now
is their time to urge submission on the south
and magnanimity on both, for unless Beaure-
gard and the other leaders succeed in retreat
ing to Texas there is not the slightest hope
for their cause. Their dream ofindependence
has vanished, and they can do nothing further
to realize it except by hopeless guerilla war
fare.
The Morning Herald gives a different view.
1t represents the confederates as very strong,
but it is doubtful if they risk another engage
ment at Richmond. 1t is assured that the
federal loss at Fair Oaks was $1,000. The
Army and Navy Gazette argues that the con-
federates are rapidly giving away before the
steady and scientifically applied superior
resources of the north. 1t thinks, however,
that the federal military successes are no
guarantee for the restoration of the Union
The Paris Constitutional regards mediation
as a mere question of time. Public opinion
is in favor oft, and it gains ground in France
and England. 1t is for the government to
seize favorable opportunity.
In the house of commons Mr.. Lindsay in
postponing till July 18th, his motion relative
to British relations with America, expressed
hopes that the government would in the mean
time see the necessity for recognizing the
south and of taking the matter out of the
hands of private members, as it was perfectly
clear that the confederates were now able to
assert their independence. Earl Russell, in
response to Lord Brougham, promised to pro-
duce the correspondence relative to the Emil
ly st. Pierre. The subject being now closed,
the opinion of the law officers was that there
was no power in England to surrender the
vessel. AT first twas supposed there was no
precedent, but one has been found in which,
under similar circumstances, England failed
to obtain redress from America during Mr..
Adams's presidency.
Rev. DR.. Fayette Jewett, American mis-
sionary to Constantinople, died suddenly at
the hotel where he was stopping, in Liverpool.
There is great activity in France for send
ing reinforcements to Mexico. The number
now stated to be sent is $4,000. One report
says Gen. Forey is commander-in-chief.

CAIRO, July 1.-Advices from Arkansas are
to the effect that Gen. Hindman with five
thousand rebels was in the immediate vicinity
of st. Charles, and that Col Fitch had aban-
doned the fort spiking the guns. The situa-
ton of Gen. Curtis is said so be critical, he
being unable to bring supplies and his army
having been on half rations for week.
Reports have been current here to-day that
commodore Farragut had given the authori-
ties of Vicksburg until Monday last to surren-
der. Reports via Columbus by passengers
are that fight had taken place at Holly
Springs, and that bombardment Of twelve
hours duration had taken place at Vicksburg,
but the date of neither is given.

THE GOVERNORS AND THE PRESI-
DENT.
More Troops Wanted.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The following cor
respondence between the president and the
governors of the several states will explain
itself:
tTo THE president THE undersigned,
governors of states of the Union, impressed
with the belief that the citizens of the
states which they respectively represent,
are of one accord in the hearty desire
that the recent successes of the fed
eral arms may be followed up by measures
which must ensure the speedy restoration of
the Union, and believing that in view of the
important military movements now in progress
and the reduced condition of our effective
forces in the field resulting from the usual and
unavoidable casualties of the service, that the
time has arrived for prompt and vigorous
measures to be adopted by the people insupport
of the great interests committedto your charge,
we respectfully request if it meets your
entire approval, that you at once call upon
the several states for such a number of men
as may be required to fill up all military or
CARNATIONS that are in the field, and to add to
the army already organized such an addition
al number of men as may III your Judgment
be necessary to garri son and hold all of the
numerous cities and military positions that
have been captured by our armies, and
to speedily crush the rebellion that still ex-
lists in severalo of the southern states thus prac-
tically restoring to the civilized world our
great and good government. All believe that
the decisive moment is near at hand, and to
that end the people of the United States are
DESTROYS to aid promptly in furnishing all re-
Inducements that you may deem needful to
sustain our government.
