The woods all round suddenly became brilliant with the flashing of the pieces, and the party, deeming it probable that the rebels were too numerous and strongly posted to hazard any thing like a determined resistance, withdrew after firing a few rounds. The loss of the Nationals was three killed and eight wounded.--N. Y. Herald, May 30. The Court of Impeachment for the purpose of trying West H. Humphreys, late District Judge of the United States

On reaching Pollocksville, twelve miles distant from here, they found the bridge across Mill Creek, a nd was destroyed by the rebels last summer. From this place to Pollocksville the road, although sandy and level, is skirted by dense pine woitants in the distance, the frail negro huts.
