idow lady named Crump, who has three sons serving in the rebel army. An able-bodied, considerably bleached out, intelligent contraband, said that his mistress had, "done gone to Richmond last Wednesday, and took along a tight smart lot of slaves;" he was to have gone on one of the Confederate wagons, but went "de oder way into de woods." Some bottled porter was found in the house, which upon examination by the surgeon was found to have been poisoned. The negro said that on Thursday, the 15th inst., General Johnston and staff were having dinner prepared at the house of a Dr. Crump, near the cross-roads, when the scouts reported the near approach of our forces. The announcement caused a stampede of the dinnerless party. A forward movement was made yesterday, and the Chickahominy river, where it was supposed the enemy would make a stand, was passed by our forces without molestation.--The enemy were evidently afraid of a flank movement.

lson, as the head of the Committee on Military Affairs in the Senate, occupies an official position in the legislative branch of the Government which the President is bound to respect, and hence the views and suggestions of Mr. Wilson in regard to the management and conduct of the war must command in a liberal degree the confidence of the President, whatever may be the peculiar differences of opinion between these two public agents. Our readers will remember that when the rebel army, in March last, evacuated Manassas, a regular onslaught of the abolition radicals of Congress was made upon Gen. McClellan. He was jeered with the clamor that he had "out camped the rebels;" that he had been frightened all winter by a lot of "quaker guns;" that he had permitted the enemy to slip through his fingers, because he was too much a pro-slavery apologist to believe the "intelligent contrabands" who in season informed him now Johnston was evacuating his Potomac line, that McClellan's army, fi

The European news by the Kangaroo and Hibernian, telegraphed from Cape Race, is dated to the 16th of May--five days later than our advices by the Scouts. The Canada, at Queenstown and Liverpool; had reported the New Orleans by the Union army, and, her news being subsequently confirmed, the event was very widely commented on by the London journals. The fact produced no influence on the Liverpool cotton market at first, but American descriptions of the staple experienced a decline at the latest date of the Kangaroo. It is acknowledged by the London Times that the taking of New Orle

Late Northern news. Our Northern papers, of the 29th, furnish some additional items of news: The Federal disaster in the Valley--Yankee opinion. [From the New York Herald, May 29.] Where lies the responsibility for the late disastrous repulse of the remnant of the army of General Banks from the great Valley of Virginia. The newspapers of the indignant North, to a considerable extent, are pouring out their vials of wrath upon the head of Secretary Staunton. One of this class of journals, for instance, denounces his "management of the War Department" as "An intolerable nuisance which ought to be abated," while another describes the unfortunate Secretary "an official who possesses patriotism without discretion and enthusiasm without judgment, and who is as ready to exaggerate the terrors of his work to-day as he was to rush upon them yesterday. " But Mr. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, audacity saddles the whole responsibility in the premises upon the President, who ha

We cannot consent that either the President or the Secretary of War shall be made the scapegoat for a disaster which properly belongs to the abolition negro brigade of Congress. Latest from M'Clellan's army. The Northern papers contain the usual quantity of letters from the Army of the Potomac. Some of them are amusing. We make some extracts: White-House, Va., May 26, 1862. The great body of our army have safely, and, with but little opposition, crossed the Chickahominy river, and our advanced guard is within five miles of the city of Richmond. This fact dispels the heretofore prevalent idea that the enemy would make a bold defence on the west bank of the river already mentioned. That they will fight, and that desperately, for the defence of their so-called national capital, there is no doubt, and to make their defence successful, they have spared n

Where lies the responsibility for the late disastrous repulse of the remnant of the army of General Banks from the great Valley of Virginia. The newspapers of the indignant North, to a considerablehis master, and we will doubtless soon reach the true so of the mystery of this restless of General Banks from the Shenandoah Valley. The Secretary of War, we all know, is a lawyer and not a solbecomes apprehensive of danger and calls for other troops. They are supplied from the army of Gen. Banks, who has thus been pounced upon, cut up, despoiled, and driven out by those watchful rebel guerrillas, Generals Johnson and Ewell. But why was not Gen. Banks reinforced from some other quarter? We answer, that it was because Mr. Senator Wilson, the head of the Military Committee of the Sg crusade against Southern slavery. This is our solution of this unfortunate repulse of General Banks. We trace it to the enmity of Senators Wilson, Trumbull, Sumner and others of that clique i

He desired very much that a guard should be placed on his premises to defend him against the negroes, but the army marched away next morning, leaving deal with them as best as might. A company of the Lincoln cavalry found a strong rebel picket force this side of the creek and dispersed them. A spent ball knocked one of the cavalry from his horse, and this was the only casualty that occurred. Soon after, our troops, under command of Colonel Bartlett, and supported by two Howitzers and two Parrot guns, followed the rebel force — consisting of two regiments of cavalry, a regiment of infantry deployed as skirmishers, and three pieces of artillery — about four miles, when they retreated across the Chickahominy, at New Bridge. About twenty guns, of large calibre, were seen mounted on the Richmond side, near the bridge. The whistle of locomotives on the Richmond and Potomac Railroad was distinctly heard. One party fell in with two neg

ly conducted and was perfectly successful, with exception of the casualties mentioned above. Last evening I went out on a foraging expedition for the benefit of the faithful horse, and stopped at a fine plantation owned by a widow lady named Crump, who has three sons serving in the rebel army. An able-bodied, considerably bleached out, intelligent contraband, said that his mistress had, "done gone to Richmond last Wednesday, and took along a tight smart lot of slaves;" he was to have gonewoods." Some bottled porter was found in the house, which upon examination by the surgeon was found to have been poisoned.

They are supplied from General McDowell; but thus depleted, McDowell becomes apprehensive of danger and calls for other troops. They are supplied from the army of Gen. Banks, who has thus been pounced upon, cut up, despoiled, and driven out by those watchful rebel guerrillas, Generals Johnson and Ewell. But why was not Gen. Banks reinforced from some other quarter? We answer, that it was because Mr. Senator Wilson, the head of the Military Committee of the Senate, and his Congressional Abolition clique, after the rebel evacuate on of Manassas, brought about the suspension of volunteering; that the hostility of this clique to Gen. McClellan and his well-considered plans was at the bottom of this movement, and that these Abolition radicals have been playing their cards with our armies

with great joy by the troops here, and created quite as much enthusiasm. I fancy, as the first introduction of the locomotive did in Old England. The locomotive proceeded on the road towards Richmond on an experimental trip, to try the gauge of the road. It went a distance of six miles. As it passed our guards en route cheer upon cheer reverberated in the air from them in honor of the event. This display of enterprise is in a great measure to be attributed to the zeal and energy of Col. Rufus Ingalie, the Chief Quartermaster at this post, which provoke on lies in his department, and the manner to which he has discharged them, has won for him a high reputation as an executive officer of rare ability.
