rain. darkness and mud, started out last
evening on a reconnaissance towards Fairfax

around Peacock and Freedom Hills. They
pushed for Fairfax Court House. where
they found a body of cavalry pickets.
Capt. Mott then threw up signal light
and gave the command to fire. This bold
demonstration frightened the pickcts, who,
turning, put spurs to their horses and
sped away. Our men did not pursue.
None were hurt. Capt Mott ascertained
the fact that the rebel picket lines have been
removed considerably inside from where they
were short time since.

The Indian Expedition.

The news from Gen. Doubleday is inter
esting and exciting. Last Friday he came
across Cofey, Stanwaithy and Livingstone,
near Cow Skin Prairie. The enemy's
pickets retired, diminishing as he advanced.
He crossed the creek without accident, and
formed on the other side, when Rabb's Bat
terry fired few rounds of shot and shell in :
to the enemy's camp, but without eliciting
any reply. By this time it was dark, and
the troops lay on their arms all night. At
daybreak they advanced, but the enemy
had "skedaddled." Our boys captured
forty prisoners and about seven hundred
head of stock. This is pretty good be-

New YORK, June

New YORK, June 22.
By the steamer Haze, just arrived, we
learn that Gen. Burnside arrived at New
bern on Saturday, and that preparations
were making for an extensive military
movement.
the steamer Roanoke, from New Orleans
on the 18th, has arrived.
James Rabb has been appointed military
Governor of New Orleans.
Twenty men were TO be hung, having
forged an order of Gen. Butler and entered
house and robbed it under false names,
as United States soldiers.
Geo. Jackson has been arrested, charged
with burning vessel at the time of the ar
rival of the Federal fleet.
Rebel information states that Beaure-
CARDS army was In deplorable condition
while at Corinth. His sick numbered So
900.
The Newbern Progress states that 100
rebel dragons surrendered themselves at
Washington, N. c.; also, that six North
Carolina reg iments disbanded at Richmond,
and are now under guard, previously hav-
ing hung their Brigadier General.
Gen. Butler was serenaded at the St.
Charles Hotel, on the 18th, and made a
speech in response, in which he declared
that his feelings toward the South were
friendly and fraternal, but that at the same
time he was resolved, as matter of duty
inexorably impressed upon him, to carry
out the laws of the United States under all
circumstances. The speech was well re-
ceived.
A new daily paper has just been started
at New Orleans, edited by the great fnan-
cier, Jacob Barker, now eighty-three years
old.
One George Coppel, subscribing himself
Her Maiesty's acting Consul, has presumed
to address Gen. Butler a complaint about
the oath required of aliens, and asking ex-
plantations. Gen. Butler answered that no
reply would be made to the note until Mr..
Coppel should be recognized by his own
Government as it's agent.
A man named Durand sued the Bank of
Louisiana in the Provost Court, to oblige
the bank to pay him in current funds for a
deposit he made in Confederate notes, which
the banks had made legal currency by pay
ing them out instead of their own issue or
specie. Judge Bell decided in favor of
Durand, and ordered the bank to pay the
account in current funds. The bank ap-
pealed from the decision to Gen. Butler, but
the General sustained Judge Bell.
All but eight of the mortar feet had gone
up the river, and the rest will go up just as
soon as they can procure tugs to tow them
up.
A large Union meeting was held in New
Orleans on the evening of the 14th. Able
and eloquent speeches were made by Messrs.
Madison Jay, Chas. Lamout, and George ].
Enshart.
The rebel General Lovell's army have
evacuated Camp Moore, and gone to Vicks-
burg.

Pacific Railroad.
WASHINGTON, Jun

WASHINGTON, June lO.
Special to n. Y. Tri6une.-The Pacific
Railroad Bill passed the Senate to-day with
FIVE negative votes.
The main route which is fixed upon, is to
commence at point on the Tooth meridian
of longitude within the Territory of Ne
braska.
OF the branches one commences at Sioux
City, another at point on the western
boundary of Iowa. which will probably be
at or near Omaha City OF the mouth of
Platte river.
Both of these branches to be constructed
by the Union Pacific Company which con-
structs the main road. The Kansas branch
commencing opposite Kansas City, is to be
constructed by Kansas company, and with
this branch the Hannibal & st. Joseph road
is authorized to form connection. The
main road is to run by the most direct and
practicable route, to be located subject to
the approval of the President. BY the
House bill the road was to commence on the
102 meridian. and the terminus was not
necessarily within the territory of Nebras-
ks, but probably the House will agree to
the Senate amendments. There is little
doubt of the final passage of the bill sub
stantiaily as passed by the Senate.

coin was imbedded in the earth between
twenty inches and two feet beneath the sur

five hundred and forty years old. On one

er fine day. Every day Of sunshine ad-
vances the fall of Richmond. The roads
are becoming hard, and the surface of the
earth on the fields, except in low spots, is
practicable for artillery.
We had very brisk picket firing last night,
in front of point half mile north of Fair
Oaks Station. We sustained no damage.
This morning everything is quiet again.
It is reported by deserters that heavy re-
Inducements have been sent from Richmond
to Jackson, in the valley of the Shenandoah.
Another correspondent, writing under
the same date says: 81 am positively as
sured, by parties who are reliably informed,
that the life of the arch traitor, JEFF. Davis.
is in extreme danger, the rebels looking
upon him with the utmost suspicion. It is
even averred that he was prevented, by an
armed force. from escaping out of Richmond.
He is the object of general distrust. Hand
bills in every variety are displayed all over
the city denouncing Jeff. Davis, and apply
ing to him ridiculous and opprobrious cpl
thets. The rebels declare it is the intention
of Davis to desert them.
Numerous persons have been arrested and
confined for rebelling against the authori-
ties in Richmond.
