CAVALRY IN THE VALLEY.

What has become Of General Milroy's cavalry
that were In such not pursuit of Moseby and
lis men few days ago Major Adams, of
Toe Lincoln cavalry, was the officer who led the
pursuit, and a Baltimore Cotemporary has de-
ECrIbod him as performing prodigles Of valor-
winning his horse across a river, &c, &c.
We believe that this prodgious valor, however,
vac displayed In getting out of Moseby's way.
We have good authority for saying that Adams
came up with Moseby, who had only thirty
men, but Instead Of bagging the lot, as he
should have done, lnasmuch as he had whole
regiment with him, MoseHy killed three of
Adams's men, wounded others, took several
prisoners, and took bis departure, treating the
doughty Major with contempt. We have seen
letter from an officer In Winchester, dated
the alTt, IN which II Ia stated that "MaIor
Adams had charges preferred against him for
oovArdlcS before the enemy last week, and that
be has resigned his commission" We hope
ER's matter will be thoroughly Investigated,
and that no officer will be permitted to resign
N the face Of such charges. Evidently thlngs

AR.rpr,, Trom Riehmond.

Wehave had an interview with young man
who has Just arrived in this city from Rich
mond, where he was born and raised. He left
the rebel capital nearly four weeks ago, went
to Weldon, North Carolina, and finally, with
much strategy, he was enabled to run the
blockade TO Norfolk, from whence he reached
this city last evening, after having encountered
many dangers and suffered much fatigue.
Ills statements are very interesting. He says
that Stonaman's raid caused such panic In
Richmond that JEFF. Davis ordered an extra
train, and he, with the members OF the rebel
Congress, skedaddled to Petersburg for safety.
The citizens were greatly alarmed, knowing
that the city had been leil undefended. There
were no guns in the fortihcatlons, they having
been removed to the Fredericksburg batteries.
1t was the common remark in Richmond,
that II Hooker should get in the rear of Lees
army, Richmond would inevitably fall into his
hands. The people expressed the belief, how
ever, that Hooker would hardly get in Lees
rear.
The MASSES Of the people in Richmond hav
come to a settled belief that the Confederacy
will finally he subdued by the Fedcrals. The
scarcity of provisions of all kinds helps much
towards that conviction. Our informant be-
lieyes that the place would have been starved
out ere this but for the bacon or pork which
was seized by Longstrect during his raid in
North Carolina when he advanced upon suf-
folk. He took 1000, 600 pounds, by which the
rebels "savcd their bacon " for the time; but
it is said that the bacon is spelling rapidly, and
they will be in another strait very soon unless
they should make another raid into Maryland
and Pennsylvania.
1t was stated and generally believed In Rich
mond that Lee had In his army, fighting against
Hooker, 175, 900 effective men.

Resolutions of the New York Democratic
Central Committee,

ALBANY, May 2s.-The Democratic State
Central Committee met here to-day. The reso-
lutions and declaration of the last State Conven-
ton In regard to the support of the Government
to suppress the rebellion, declare that while
peace Is desired by every patriot, 1t must he on
the basis Of restoration of the Union under
the Constitution. That the present Admins
tration is not any more capable of managing
such peace than II has shown itself to conduct
successfully the war, and that any attempt to
urge It to peace will only enable II, In conjunc-
tOn with the Davis government, to consummate
a separation of the States to which the Demo-
cratic party will never submit.
The resolutions then refer to the declarations
of the Loyal League Convention as placing the
military above the civil power, and accept the
issue, proclaiming the determination to stand
by the Constitution against all such slavish and
drspotic doctrines. They admit the jurisdic-
tiOn of military law within the lines of war
like operations, but declare that every attempt
beyond those limits to PROSTATE the civil power
by military force, treason to the country and
the Constitution. They endorse the sentiment
of the Governors letter to the Albany meeting
