SRI have the honor to inform you that the
expedition urWer the command of Lieut..
Commander Walker after taking possession
of the fords at Haines' Bluff, was perfectly
successful. Three powerful steamers and
ram were destroyed at Yazoo to-day. The
ram was a monster, and was 80 feet long, 80
feet beam, to be covered with four inch plates.
Also fine navy yard, with machines, shops of
all kinds, saw mills, blacksmith shops, &C.,
were burned. The property destroyed and
captured amounted to over S2000,000. Had
the ram been finished she would have given
us some trouble. One battery was destroyed
at Drury's Bluff. Our loss in the expedition
was one killed and seven wounded.

Thomas Lee, for larceny of a car stake,
plead guilty and was fined $500 and costs. 1t
was not the value OF the stake, but the inten-
ton to stop the petty larceny of wood, stakes,
&c, from the cars on Commercial Street, that
prompted the prosecution.
John Collins and Richard Shenahan were
charged with larceny of bank bill from a
certain party, of the value CT five dollars. 1t
appearing that full restitution had been made,
and there being other extenuating circumstan-
ces, the defendants were discharged with the

From Washington = Movements of Rebel
Troops.

WASHINGTON, May 80.
Gentlemen who arrived tonight from the
Rappahannock, say large columns of the enc
my are in motion. They were traced yester-
day by the lines of dust in their river front,
while one considerable body was moving
Southwark. The preponderance of the mass
appeared to be going in the direction of Kel-
ley's Ford and Culpepper. The rebel picket
guards at Banks and u. S. Fords had been
considerably increased within the past day or
two, which is construed in some quarters, as a
ruse to cover the movement of a raid by Stu
arts rebel cavalry, via Culpepper and Kappa
hammock Station.
Gov. Blair, of Michigan, paid visit TO Gen
Hooker yesterday, accompanied by several
ladies. They were courteously and warmly
received by the General, and left with fayora-
Bile impressions Of his ability to defeat the
rebels when the opportunity shall arrive.
1t is believed that the enemy are preparing
to demonstrate somewhere on our lines The
movement on the part of the rebels, may be
only ruse TO draw our attention from some
other point.
