HEADQUARrERs ARMY THE PoToNAo. May
81, IS62-The encamPment of the advance of
the army under Gen St0Heman is still at Gaines )
Mills Int mile, and II half from Richmond and
one and 4 half from the ChickahomiLy. The
pckets OF the rebels occupy the bank on one side
and those of the Union the other.
Gen. StOneman, with Prof. Lowe, made a bal
loon reconnaissance this morning from Gaines :
Mills, reaching an altitude Of 500 feet. An ad-
mirable view was had OF Richmond and the sur
rounding country with glass. The camps Of
the enemy within the limits of the corporation
were seen. Also the arrival and departure Of
railroad trains on the railroad between New
Bridge and Richmond.
But few troops were visible, bu, to the left Of
the city. on the line of the mail coach road. lead
ing TO Bottoms bridge, a large number OF troops
were seen. also smoke from numerous camp fires
coming from the woods in front showing that
they were occupied by large force of the en-
envy
Heavy firing was heard yesterday afternoon
and this morning to the left of Richmond. which
was probably caused by gunboats endeayor-
inc 10 force their way up the james river.
The weather is warm and pleasant during the
dsv with heavy dews at night
The he 18th OF the troops continues remarkably
good. Two r,tions of whisky and quiniue are

REBEL OFFICERS CAPTURED

SOUTHERN NEW -
IIam Washington,

wAsHrNerox. May 2i.-A special to the Tri-
bune says:
1t is not vet precisely determined What number
of volunteers call for, but il will not be far
from l00,O 900, including those needed 70 oil up
regiments
IL will scarcely be credited that hay is brought
to our army in Virginia from Maine, and corn
from Illinois. although all these articles can be
had for the taking from premises abandoned by
the rebels Their armies do not scruple to strip
loyal men Of everything which can be removed
from them.
A pontoon bridge has been laid, and the Rap
pahannock can ROW be crossed at four different
points.
Orders have been issued for two pair. of shoes
and one pair of leggins for the infantry of the
army OF the Rappahannock.
The greatest activity prevails, and stirring news
may be expected from this quarter before long.
The Herald's dispatch says.
The President has decided that %, 900 more
volunteers shall be accepted They are TO fill up
regiments that have been thinned out by wounds
and sickness and 10 form reserve under drill for
the future which may be ready at the decisive
moment.
Notwithstanding the solemn threat of certain
Senators to hold their refusal 10 take up the tax
bill n terrOTtm over the head of the President to
scare or drive him into compliance with their pro-
gramme OF conducting the war, the OIL was
taken up TO day and will be acted upon without
delay. It will probably be shaped and passed be-
fore the end OF the month.
The impression prevail that Senator Sim
mons's substitute which Is more simple in its
provisions than the House bill, will finally be
adopted
The armor OF the Galena which was pierced
by the proiectiles of the rebel battery below Rich
m0nd, was but three inches thick.
The sunboats on the western waters thinly
plated and but PARTIAL, clad, hence the necessity
of the six inch plates that have been ordered for
the three gunboats of the Monitor style that
are now in process OF erection in New York.
The Monitor has thus far stood the fire with
her five inch plates but guns of enormous
calibre and prCjectiies of great momentum are
in vogue it is safe to increase the thickness of the
armOT.

New YORK, May 2l.-Qute a number of

NEW YORK, May 22--News received from
Havana of the 18th says Spanish steamer came
in Yesterday bringing dates from Vera Cruz to
the 18th and Mexico to the 81.
Vera Cruz was IN possession of the Almont-
ties, thanks to French bayonets. No confidence
is to be placed in the news given through his
organs.
Private letters say that the battle of Acult-
lingo drawn one, the French losing the
most in killed and wounded, but the Mexicans
retired. These latter directed their FIRE princi
paly at the French officers, knowing they could
not be replaced till fresh importation should
arrive from France.
The black vomit is committing fearful ravages
at Vera Cruz, having appeared earlier and in a
more malignant form than usual.
We are told that l20 Americans from Texas
had attacked the town of Pieiros de Grds, in the
State of Nueva Leon, had sacked the town and
burned the Custom House and various buildings
Saragosa has defeated MARQUES This seems
to have been a decisive defeat, although Marques
got away. He has been deposed and Cabos
placed in his stead.
General Prime and staff had arrived, but he was
hot received with much enthusiasm.
a Spanish steamer had gone to New Orleans
to protect the welfare and property there OF Her
Catholic Maesty's subjecs.
The Wyke Zamacoma Treaty has been ratified
by the Mexican Government in spite of the pro
test of the French Penipotentiaries against any
treaty the Mexican Government might make un-
der the present circumstances. Saead and Cor
dova were occupied by Mexican troops as soon as
the Fren h troops left them and 500 were ready
to occupy Orzaba in the same way. The French
are moving towards the Capital, but the Mex.
cans are closing in fast behind them.
There had been no Confederate arrival lately,
The English steamer Havana came in on the
18th. eight days from ST. Marks. Florida, with
l69 bales of cotton.
The glorious news from the States caused a
depression in markets. Sugars and cotton
have a downward tendency.
Many vessels here are waiting to get 10 New
Orleans soon the port is open, and some
have refused charters here already.

united protest this morning. They say the Gen
eral alleged no oifenSe AK INST them as journal

to anything they might write. He did not care
what newspapers published. but the enemy had
spies in the camp, and in order to make sure o
excluding them he had resolved to exclude al
civilians.
The reporters offered satisfactory proofs OF the
loyalty, but Gen. Halleck abruptly said he would
take DO proofs of loyalty. Two of their numbel
had passes authorizing them to pass within th,
lines of any United States forces, issued at tn,
War Department. signed by Col. Arson Stager
Haleck said he had no official knowledge OF th,
