Gen. Rurnside at Old Point.

FORTRESS MONROE, June 9.-Maj. Gen.
Burnside and staff arrived here at an early
hour this morning, having come through the
Albermarle and Chesapeake canal in the small
gunboat Port Royal, leaving Newbern on Sat
urday. The Port Royal came through both
cuts of the canal. The lower one, connect
ing Currituck and Albemarle sounds, has been
INSTRUCTED by piles and sunken vessels, and
previous arrivals by the inland route have
avoided this cut by traversing the whole
length of Cnrrituck Sound. The progress
of the Port Royal was considerably de-
layed by the distractions, but Gen. Burnside
succeeded in blowing them up and opening
the canal. Norfolk was reached at midnight
last night, and after communicating with Gen.
Vlele and procuring a pilot, the Port Royal
proceeded to this place. The object of the
WISH OF Gen. Burnside was to have important
communication with the government. Hav-
ing sent his dispatches to Washington and re-
celyed replies, he will return.

at washington, N. c., was attacked from an

lost men killed and number wounded tbroa
OF the latter subsequently died. Several Skin
mishes have lately taken place in the vicinit,,
of Washington, N. c., in one of which one
man on our side was wounded and two taken
prisoners. In another, fifteen of our cavalry,
having only one man wounded, put to flight n
rebel force of cavalry and infantry ten times
their strength.

WASHINGTON, June l0.-One hundred and
titty-nine rebels, captured at Front Royal,
were to-day put in the old capitol prison.
Surgeon Thomas Welch is ordered to the
barque Fernandina; Henry L. Hodges and
James l.. Dorann are appointed acting assist
ant engineers, and ordered to the gunboat
Sonora at Portsmouth
Information received at the post department
leads to the belief that the mails for the Paci-
tic coast by the overland mail, via St. Joseph,
between the LIST and 23d of April, have been
lost, and also those sent from the Pacific to
the east, by the same route, between March
and April 20, by depredations of the Indians
An agent is to go over the route to recover
them, if possible.
The rebels are urging the exchange of Gen.
Buckner for Gen. Prentiss, and they promise
to release Colonel Corcoran, and to make an
equal exchange of prisoners, if Buckner is
given up.
Commander Rowan, commanding the hotlla
in the sound, writes that in the town of Eden
ton the mayor alone, to his knowledge, pro-
tessed loyalty, and northern residents who
have recently returned from Newbern, declare
that the debates alleged to have taken place in
the convention, are misrepresented, and that
whatever demonstrations of Unionism had
been made, were for the purpose of keeping
hostile army at bay, which the passive rebels
are not at present strong enough to resist
openly.

FROM THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY.
The Rebel Ashby Killed.

HARRIsoNBURG, June Z, 9 P. M.-Hon. b.
N. Stanton The attack upon the enemy's
rear Of yesterday precipitated his retreat.
Their loss in killed and wounded was very Sc
we're, and many of both were left on the field.
Their retreat is by an almost impossible road,
along which many wagons were left in the
woods, and wagon loads of blankets, clothing,
and other equipments, piled up IN all direc-
tons.
During the evening many of the rebels were
killed by shells from battery of Cen otahi 5
brigade. Gen. Ashby, who covered the re-
treat with his whole cavalry force and three
regiments of infantry, exhibited admirable
skill and audacity, and was among the Killed.
Gen. Milroy made a reconnaissance to-day
about seven miles on the Port Repubhc roaa'
and discovered portion of the enemys force
encamped in the timber.
j. G.. FREMONT, MAJ. Gen'
FREMoNT's HEADQUARTERS, HARRIsoN-
BURG, June I'm the skirmish yesterday be-
yond the town, the rebel loss is ascertalned to
be very heavy. Most of our wounded have
been brought in. Col. Kane of the Bucktails
is in the enemys hands. The body of Capt.
Haynes of the LIST New Jersey cavalry has
been found. Capts. Stilline and Clark of the
same regiment are prisoners and not wounded
Col. Ashby, the famous rebel cavalry lead
er, is undoubtedly killed. This is ascertaned
from people living near the battle field and
from prisoners. Major Green of his regi-
ment was shot by Capt. Broderick of the New
Jersey cavalry.

CoIOrcd Men Wanted,

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Colonel Rasloff,
charge de affairs from Denmark, has address
ed letter to the secretary of state upon the
subject Of the advantages offered by the island
OF st. CrOlX Tor the employment of persons
of this country of African extraction, and of
negroes found on board vessels captured by
our cruisers. The island, he says, has been
checked in its progress for the want of man
ual labor, and he invites the United States to
enter into a convention whereby the contem-
plated migration may be placed under the
protection and guarantee of the government.
The governor of the Danish West Indies
has also appointed special agent, who has
arrived in this country to make the necessary
arrangements. Free transportation is offered
to all who will engage in labor on sugar plan
tationS for three years, at the same compen-
sation as the native population. Re-captured
Africans, however, being semi-savages, must
undergo an apprenticeship. Secretary
Seward in replying, says he is not
authorized to accept the proposition at this
time for a convention, as the disposition of
recaptured Africans is now prescribed by law
1t is probable, however, that congress may be
disposed SO to modify existing legislation
upon the subject as to meet the wishes of the
Danish government. He has submitted copies
of the correspondence to the chairman Of the
Judiciary committee in each house of con-
gress. Col. Raslat, in response, says the
plan he had furnished would be entirely salts
factory from Il christian and humane point of
view, and would moreover relieve the United
States from great moral responsibility, and
from the very large expense, which, if he was
correctly informed, is connected with present
arrangements for the transfer of recaptured
Africans to the republic of Liberia.

Exploring south Carolina.

WASHINGTON, June 10-Dispatches from
commodore Prentiss states that he with the
gunboat Albatoss, recently sailed up the in
terror waters of South Carolina, to George
town. He crossed the bar May 21st, accom-
panied by the Norwich, commanded by Lieut..
Duncan, entering Wymans bay. A redoubt
near the light house was passed, and larger
one on South Island-the latter with large
number of quakers mounted. Both were de-
serted, and another deserted fortifcation was
found on Cab Island.
On the 22dhe stood up the bay for George
town, entered Swampsit creek, and steamed
past the city's wharf, but not being prepared
to hold the place, abstained from landing,
knowing that contest with the artillery and
cavalry in the place, would compel him to de-
stroy the town. He afterwards assembled
Waccamane river, to a point ten miles above
Georgetown, through a fine country, meeting
no resistance. He brought off eighty contra
bands. The rebels were leaving their panta-
tons, and driving their negroes before them
in all directions
