FROM NEW YORK.

New YORK, May 20.
The Hersld's correspondent ct Key West
announces the capture Of Tampa Florida,
on the 4th On nearing the town our
troops charged double quick, surprising
the inhabitants, and found that the rebel
troops left the day before to reinforce
Lees army. Forty prisoners and block
ade runner were captured and the fortih-
ostiots destroyed.
Times special from Washington, the
18th, Il:20 P. NJ. AdVices from headquar-
ters state that battle had not been renew
ed up to 10 this morning.
The latest edition Of this evenings Re-
publican has the following, but up to this
date there is no official confirmation: The
most reliable information from the front
TO- day is that Grant succeeded yesterday
in nesrlyiurniDg Lees whole right. This
was done more by sudden movements Of
bodies Of troops to complete
surprise of Lee than by actual
fighting, except with artillery which
was only for the purpose Cf making
feInts, while the strategic work was going
on.
1t was q question Whetherthe positions Of
both armies we're not changed this morn =
ing, in consequence Of the successful oPe-
rations Of Grant yesterday.
If Grant fights to day, he has an army
as strong in numbers as it was when it
crossed the Rspidsn, and relatively much
! stronger.
The Heralds SpottsylVRnia correspond
ent, dated 18th, says;
Grant had plans perfected for the crush
ing attack Of Friday and Saturday last,
but the storm prevented it, and the advsn-
tageous ground wss lost by the enemy
/ shifting their position.
The Trihune's Headquarters dispatch Of
I the 18th says that important changes in
! the position Of troops were made on the
| evening Of the 18th, and q general ad-
/ vance made. The next battle will be
/ fought on the banks # the North Anna
River. The general health OF the wound
ed is remarkably good.
Eight Of Mosby's guerrillss were cap
tured yesterday, loaded with Plunder from
our dead and wounded.
The same correspondent, under date oi
the 18th ct l:S0 r. r., says that the rebels
are taking advantage Of the change Of our
position and massing on our right Their
movement WAS anticipated in q charge OF
their rehe pits. Several Of their guns and
number Of prisoners we're captured.

WAsHNGFos, May IS.
Dispatches from the headquarters Of the
Army Of the Potomac dated at o'clock on
Wednesday evening, says an attack on The
enemys right was to have been made ct
an early hour this morning, but on exam
lining the ground hat vicinity was found
to be unfsVorsble for hunting the army, so
the plan was changed, and, at 5 o'clock
this morning, Hancock, supported by the
9Th corps on the right and Burnside on his
left, advanced against the enemy's works,
the rifle pits OF which were those we had
abandoned, which we're filed with rebel
shsrpshooters, who were soon dislodqed
and deiVen through the second line Of en-
trenchments, and behind these were i'm
penetrsble absttis, which were Of q most
formidable character.
On examination it was deemed
best not to attempt charging through
gooo ofder- japd the tronna fell back in
fire Of she'll and f68Ghs-eSnnsad IN = lpellipg
Our loss is considerable, eeing about 500
killed and wounded. Burnside's corps
was partly engaged and lost Of the above
number about one fourth. An attack was
made by the enemy on the left in the sf-
ternoon where Warren was posted, but
our batteries soon drove the enemy back
and silenoed their guns. All quiet at 6
o'clock this evening

The Hersld's special dated Washington
18th, midnight, ssys that the action yes
terdsy at Spottsylvanis resulted in the
success Of Grant in gaining an advanta-
geous position on the eGemy's right This
was the object Of the attack by Grant
Our entire loss in this engagement will
not exceed 1000 in killed, wounded and
missing. No general officers we're either
killed or wounded. Up to 10 o'clock to-
day, the bstLle has not been resumed. The
position occupied by Lee is vast entrenc l.

increased by the erection Of eX-
tensive forti6cstiOns which were built
long ago in anticipation Of their need.

FRnnI NRP YnRK.

NEW YORK, May 20.
It may be interesting to the public and
the press, who were so terribly imposed on
in the publication Of the recent bogus
proclamation, to know that in the city of
Washington there has of late existed q
body Of news.gstberers styling themselves
The representatives. Of the Western press,
composed Of Messrs. White, Hill and Val
lard, who have for some time been sending
daily dispatches to papers at Springfield
and Boston, Massachusetts, and to Roch-
ester, New York, as well as others in Gin
cinnsti, Chicago, st. Louis, and other
points at the West
These persons are in no way connected
with The Associated Press, which has q
we'll known, intelligent and reliable agent
in that city, ss the truthful nature Of his
dispatches for many years will testify. It
appears, as we learn from a well informed
correspondent Of the Commercial Adver-
tiser, that on Tuesday night dispatch
was sent by members of this Western
Press Association, or p rported to have
been sent by them, announcing that there
would be q proclamation calling for a
new draft about the 1st Of July, that the
places Of the 100 day men might be filed.
Whether the bogus proclamation. was con-
cocted by one OF the Association, or wheth-
er another person based it upou their
news, is not yet officially known. It is

property from military necessity, it makes
compensation tOits own itiIens for the
loss which should be done in this case.
Mr.. Hale, Of Pennsylvania, advocating
the bill, said the question was not whether
we are able to pay the claim, but whether
1t is just or right. The honor Of the Gov
ernment would be better maintained by
paying than Withholding the money.
The bill was passed. Yeas, So; nays,
SO.
Mr. Cox, Of Ohio, here rose and asked
leave to introduce the following resulu-
tion:
RsSOIVsd That the forcible seizure by the
deral military authorities st New York
Of the Offices Of the New York World and
Journal Of Commerce, an the suspension
Of their papers, fer the innocent publica-
tion Of 3 forged proclamation, is an act
unWarrantsble by the circumstances con-
nected with said publication an arbitrary
outrage upon the constitutional rights Of
the citizen, and deserves the reprobation
Of every friend Of public liberty and pri-
Vste rights.
Messrs. Wsshburne and Farnsworih, Of
Illinois, objected to the introduction Of the
resolution. tasa.
The House then adjourned unit Monday.
SENATE.
Mr.. Wilson introduced from the Military
Committee, bill to promote the efficiency
Of staff officers of the army.
The House bill to authorize the estsb-
ishment Of an ocean mail steamship SER
vice Between the United States snd Brazil
vas called up by Mr.. COllamer and debst-
ed at length.
Without taking action on the bill, the
Senate proceeded to the consideration OF
the Pacific Railroad bill.
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-05-21

The Committee have decided the case Of
Todd VS.. Jayne, delegates from DacOtah, in
favor of the contestant, Todd. They also
report back to the House the two Missouri
csses-Price vs.. McClurg, and Birch vs..
King-snd ask to be discharged from their
further consideration.
These cases are altogether similar to the
recent case Of General Loan from the same
State in which the House revised the de.
cision Of the committee. They regard it
useless, therefore, to make any report on
the cases, and the sitting members will re-
tain their seats without debate.
The report Of the committee on Elections
that General Blair had not been legally
elected to the House would have been call
ed up, but for the position taken by his
friends that notice must be given to him.
It is understood that they claim that he is
still member Of the House, notwithstand-
ing his military position.
The Senate Commerce Committee had
special meeting for the purpose Of COM
pleting the bill regulating trade with rebel
States. The law passed one year ago re-
lating TO this subject has, sfler trial, prov
ed inadequate. The Committee; therefore,
propose to adopt their original bill not
merely restricting but prohibiting indis-
criminate trade with rebels. They will
declare all articles which are now allowed
to pass through the lines contraband of
war.
They postponed until next week the
DOnsidera'iOn Of the House bill declaring
al the railroads in the United States sub
iect to use of Government for military,
postal and commercial purposes.
The Camden snd Amboy railroad inter-
.sts have asked to be heard before action
IS taken.
The House Naval Committee TO- day re-
Iumed the consideration Of the subject
" the construction Of the main engine
or the navy and examined several wit.
lesses who endorsed the present theory
# the Department. The committee have
learly flashed their investigations and will |
hOrtly prepare their report.
The Ways and Means Committee had
Inder consideration today the senate's
to the civil sad miscellaneous
bills. They conourred in
nest of them and will report them to-
nnrrnR
