the steamer Maple Leaf left fortress Monroe
for fort Delaware with ninety rebel officers on
board. When near Cape Henry light house

and sent her captain and crew below. She
then steamed to torty-fye miles below the
light house, slXty-fve miles from fortress
Monroe, and landed on the Virginia shore in
the boats of the steamer. Twenty-six of the
rebel officers refused to go with the others,
and the captain of the Maple Leaf then
turned his beat back to fortress Monroe and
reported to Gen. Dix. Amongst the rebel
officers was Capt. Semmes, son of the captain
of the pirate Alabama. The rebels did no
injury to the boat.

CAIRO, June l2.-rhe steamer st. Cloud,
from Vicksburg Monday morning, has ar
rived.
There was heavy cannonading up the va
zoo when the boat lett, the import Of which is
not known. Officers by this arrival say that
It's believed in the camp that battle in our
rear is highly probable. No one, however,
believes that Johnston is able to raise the
siege.
The fight at Mlliken's Bend on Saturday,
was of more Importance than was at first re-
ported. The rebels were eighteen hundred
strong, under Henry McCullock. Our force
was less than one thousand, six hundred Of
whom are negroes. The rebels at first drove
our forces, nearly surrounding them. The
fight was conducted with energy and despera-
ton by our forces, and the rebels were heldat
bay until a gunboat came to our assistance.
Eye witnesses report our loss in killed at
one hundred and thirty -four, one hundred of
whom were negroes. The wounded were
about the same in number. The list of the
killed is very large, in consequence of
many of the wounded being killed under the
mo quarter" cry.
The rebels lett over one hundred dead on
the field, and took away loads of wounded.
The negroes, it is reported, fought better than
their white officers, many of whom, it is said,
skulked. About the time the battle was over
a column of rebels made their appearance at
Youngs Point.
All citizens and transient persons had been
put under arms. No attack had been made
when our informant left

The Late Cavalry Fight.

New YORK, June PA correspondent
from Warrenton junction sends the following
to Philadelph paper On Wednesday
flag of truce was sent over by Gen. Pleas
anton to Gen. Stuart, requesting permission
for our surgeons to attendto the wounded and
recover the bodies of number of officers
killed. Gen. Stuart replied in writing that all
the dead were decently inferred, that the
wounded had been humanely treated by his
own surgeons, and that all the prisoners had
been forwarded to Richmond. The rebels
stated as an objection to having our surgeons
entering their lines to attend to our men, that
one of our surgeons returned with information
which had been used against them. They
were willing to admit the surgeons provided
they would go to Richmond with the prisoners
and remain some time before being released
to our lines. Stuarts official desk was cap
tured by Gen. Greggs command. 1t contain
ed large number of his official orders, the
number of his troops, and government dis
patches, showing their design to engage in of
fensive operations The rebel Gen. Stuart
narrowly escaped being captured, an aid by
his side being taken prisoner by Gen. Gregg.
Stuart was dressed as private, and the aid
said that our troops could have caught Stuart
as easily as they caught him, but no one re-
cognized Stuart in his disguise.

The democrats of one of the imperial north
ern states have indicated their peculiar title
to loyalty by nominating Mr.. Vallandigham
for governor. The vote for him was nearly
ENTHUSIASTICALLY how well the 'Knights"
had organized their campaign. Without en-
tering upon the question whether he was pat
riotic, or prudent, and wise, when he counsel
ed resistance to the war policy of the govern
ment, the democracy of Ohio take him as he
stands, purple with his sins Somebody in
New Engand-the Post, we believe-who had
not yet taken the cue of the Golden Circle,
compared VallandIgham to John Wilkes, and
cautioned the government to take warning
from the fate of the British ministry in its
treatment of the Theories. Unlike 1.-The de-
mocracy of Ohio, however, the eloquent
Pitt, when he came down from his
chamber, hmping upon crutches and ban
daged in fiannels, to protest against persecut-
ing man for opinions sake, was bound TO
say that Wilkes sentiments were ''illiberal
unmanly and detestable," that she didn't de-
serve to be ranked among the human species, :"
and that he (Pitt) regarded him in the light of
"Gbeller OF his country and a blasphemer of
his God" Vallandlgham is a kind of bur-
lesque John Wilkes, with all his malice but
without his wit, or sentiment, or honor, or
virtue, or manliness, or self-respect. He has
made himself more obnoxious to the loyal
sentiment of the country than John Wilkes
drnan1aI Ne tbot =
time and his country. Yet his partisans
have taken him as their representative with
out qualification and without apology-with
the purpose of placing themselves and him in
direct antagonism with the government. Win
they succeed? 1t is not impossible. The de.
mocracy have the advantage of large resi-
dent population, who have taken no active in
terest in the war, and who have naturally fall
en- into the ethics of that class of demagogues
of whom Vallandigham is fit type and rep
resentative. They have also the advantage
of positive declaration of political faith,
supported by 4 compact and consolidated
league to which dissent is not tolerated and
non-contormity is treason. Still, all political
issues HO"Ohcl PloulIsiHS, are contingent on
the fate of our arms. Let the rebels triumph
in the southwest, and the Mississippi remain,
as now, closed to the trade and commerce of
the land-Gen. Bragg will as surely send his
guest home, and triumph in the coronation of
a traitor-goyernor over that imperial common
wealth, as the October sun rises and sets up
on its borders But, on the other hand, let
the army Of the republic the veterans ofGrant
and Rosecrans, and the fresh troops under
Banks, achieve the success which is their du-
duty, win the laurels to which they are enti-
tied, there will not be left state in the Union
where these partisans of dsloyalty can find
hiding place or refuge.

WASHINGTON, June l2.-Information re-
ceived to-day shows that all is quiet in the
neighborhood of Poolesville. Moseby's raid
into Maryland was of short duration. A tele-
gram from Leesburg says his force was at

at daybreak to-day, hurrying back to the
mountains. Union troops were in pursuit.
Chief engineer Sewell has been detached
from special duty at New York, and ordered

From the Armv of the Potomac.

WASHINGTON, June l2.-It is ascertained
that there was some new Smelling on the Rap
pahaunock this morning, but all was soon qui.
ct, except occasional picket firing, while our
lines remain the same as yesterday. 1t is
positively known that Lees force is nearly
double what it was at the battle of Chancellor
vile. His reinforcements have been drawn
from the Blackwater and North and South
Carolina. A large portion OF them are new
troops. Some of the new regiments number
from eight hundred to one thousand men.
Lees command is divided into three corps,
averaging, according to report, thirty thou
sand each.
All civilians not connected with the army
Of the Potomac, it is said, are IL be sent away
forthwith. There was evidently stir in the
rebel camp for a general movement.
The following are the finding of several
general court martials held within the lines of
the army of the Potomac; Capt. Albert, clerk
18th New Jersey, for corresponding with the
enemy, to be dismissed the service; second
Lieut.. VIM. DeBraise, 21st New Jersey, for
cowardice and misbehavior in presence Of the
enemy, to forfeit all pay, bounty and allow
ances due or to become due, to be discharged,
