From Fortress Monroe.

IcrrERiNO or the sick and wounded aMYSTKHlOUS EIPtDITION.

t The correppondent ol the PhilatlelphiaInquirer, writing from Fortress Monroe,June 7, fays:

The State of Maine reached the wharflast riiht, with three hundred woundedfrom Richmond. These men are mostlysererely injured, and s large number ofthem will never recover. An assistant sur-ireo-

who wag on board, told ns, whatproves to be a fact, and one which will startle ana norriry me country tntit wis toaaof helpless men had lain without any surgi-cal attendance from Saturdoj'a aud Sun-day's battle until they were put aboard theboat on Thursaay; live days elapsing beforetheir wonnds were dressed.

Many of these brave hearted fellows wereactually food for maggots when they reachedWhite House, the revolting worms havingalready appeared In their wounds.

The following is from the FortrOES Mon-

roe correspondent of the PhiladelphiaPress:

REBEL MOVEMENTS AT RICHMOND.

Tor several days regiment after regimenthas been noticed passing down the roadson the enemy's left wing, towards theircentre and right. Twenty thousand troopsof all kinds, with large baggage trains,have passed since Sunday. Whether theseare reiuforccments from Corinth or fromJackson's army, or whether they are partof the force w hich has played hide andseek before McDowell at Fredericksburg,or whether they are the rebel left wingeradiating their positions, are great sub-jects of conjecture They all seem to goto the rebel centre and right, and no doubtare instantly brought into action againstHeintztlman, Kearney, and Keyes.

For two afternoons huge smokes, cover-ing the entire surroundiDg couutry, haverisen from tho woods beyond the river.They would commence about noon andcontinue until night; but after dark no lirecould be seen anvwhere which could ex-

plain the cause. Contrabands tell us thatan immense amount of tobacco is beingcarried out of Richmond by the negroes,and it IB all piled at a place some two'uiilt'6from the town, where it is mixed with tur-pentine, and will be set on fire as soon asthey have it all out. If the rebels don'tget tobacco smoke enough to choke them,Ft will not be their fault.

I have distinctly heard rebel tattoosevery evening, and when the wind wasfavtrable, the humming of railroad trainsand the blowing of whistles. There seemsto be some great traveling done on therailroads passing out of Richmond, butwhere I am unable to say.

THE REBEL WOUNDED.

The Richmond Dispatch estimates thenumber of men wounded in the battle ofSaturday and Sunday at over 4,000. TheRichmond and Petersburg papers have beencrammed with the lists of the killed andwounded, continued from day to day, sinceMonday last.

WHAT JEFF DAVIS SATS.

Jefferson Davis was on the battle field atFeir Oaks and he has issued a brief butflaming address to the rebel troops, wbichwas published in the Richmond Examinarof yesterday, (5th inst. He thanks tbeni fortheir indomitable courage in charging theenemy, and driving him back at every pointwith great slaughter, capturing twenty-thr-ee

of his guns, many prisoners, and avast amount of valuable camp equipage.He, in common with the people, felt proudof euch heroism and valor. He concludes J6y Eaymg : .

" Defenders of a jn3t cause." may Got,have yon in bis holy keeping."

A Female Wretch.The Buftiio (N. Y.) Courier records the

murders committed there by a femaledevil:

The name of the wretch is Laahceil, andshe pretends to be an Indian doctress.Suspicion fastened upon her by seeing acorpse taken away from her house, and af-

ter watching the premises for a day aud anight, till the body could be exhumed andexamined, the premises were entered by thepolice, the doctress arrested, and astound-ing disclosures were made.

A voune woman was found in the agonies of death, having submitted to the op-

eration of the wretch who occupied thehouse. Her name was Mary Louisa Boyer.She died at 4 o'clock yesterday.

In another room was a yonng womannamed Jenny Johnson, who has a sisternamed McDonald, at Niagara Fulls. She isin a hopeless condition.

Both of these girls were victims of theseducers art, both respectably connected.So much of the tale as the Courier tells issickening in the extreme, and all is nottold. The girl wnose burial led to tne dis-covery of the "slaughter house" was MaryHamilton, and she died of violence.

The woman .Laahceil was arrested, alsoa negro named John Craig, and a youngman namea Kout. naroa an nsumeu pny- -

sician. An investigation ot tne case islooked for with anxiety, as further revela-tions are expected. The woman has beenonce tried on a charge of abortion and ac-

quitted.Startling disclosures are expected to

grow out of this arrest which may involvethose holding respectable positions in so-

ciety. Monday wnile the officers were inpossession of the "flaughter house" notless than twenty females, married andsingle, called and enquired for the proprie-tress.

The Last Moments of Gen. Johnston.The following is from the diary, publish

ed in the Natchez Courier, of Maj. D. M.

Hay den, one of Gen. Johnston's Aids inthe battle of Shiloh :

Geu. Johnston, elated with the entire sue"cess of the whole day, took the positionbefore the brigades of Bowen and Breck-inridge, and gave the order " fix bayonets."The last moment I saw him before bis fall,he was haranguing his troops. The chargewas made with a 6hout, and the enemy fledin contusion. 1 was by the side of Bowen,and the Minie balls flew so close that theyclipped his hair. I started to the right tosee what had become of Chalmers, when Imet Capt. O'Hara, who announced thatGen. Johnston was wounded. We followedhim down into the ravine, where we foundhim reclining in the lap of Gov. Harris,who had gently lifted him from his horse.

I was told that the only and last wordshe ever spoke were, some minutes after hewas shot, " Governor, I believe I am se-

riously wounded." Preston, in an agony ofgrief, threw his arms around him, andcalled aloud and asked if he knew him.

I cinght hold of his hand and saw thathe was still breathing. We administereda little stimulant, but he was totally uncon-scious, and quietly breathed his last.

Hobriblb Forty " Men ' Poisoned onDiseased. Some thirty boatmen yesterdaymorning called at the office of the Boardof Health for medical treatment. Theyhad just arrived in a steamer from up theioci,ituuuHuirccu ureuuiuiiy joluucu ordiseased throngh handling certain bags ofwheat. All who liad been engaged in stowin gthe wheat on board, and two or three personswho had simply sat for a short time uponone of the sacks, were atfectcd with largeand highly inflamed welts running all overthe body. Dr. Grinotead, the Health Clerk,was inclined to attribute the distemper tothe prevalence of "bla-- rot" in the wheatcereals occasionally becoming infected witha species of terribly prolilic animalcukethat disseminate themselves at once by con-tact, and whose presence in grain is popu-larly designated as "the black rot." Someten others, besides those who visited theHealth Office, were similarly afflicted. Dr.Griustcad furnished the party with ap-

propriate medicine, and gave such adviceas he deemed proper in the case. SaintLouis Democrat.

THE LATE NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.

CProm tha Memphis Avalanche of the 9tb.In out notice of the naval engagement

before Memphis on Friday morning, it ap-

pears that we were incorrect in some par-ticulars, which we proceed to correct:

The Gen. Lovell was suck, as we said,near the cotton press. The loss of life issaid to have been large. Only about twen-ty escaped out of eighty-fiv- e en board.Capt. Cable was killed by a r;He ball earlyin the action, and his boat W a compara-tively unmanageable afterwards. A tew ofthe men who floated oft from the wreckwere picked up at Fort Pickering by a Fed-eral tug.

The Sterling Price was run isto by theBeauregard and carried over on '.he Arkan-sas 6ide, where 6he now laysL It is said6he cau be easily repaired.

The Beauregard was both shot and ram-med, and sunk in the middle of the riveropposite Fort Pickering.

The Jell' Thompson blew up round thepoint towards President's Island. Her tim-bers are lying all about the co;wa wood oathe Arkansas shore. Her. smoke stack isyet standing above water. The shock ofthe explosion made some persons believetha' it was an earthquake.

The Little Rebel, which ran ashore justround the point on the Arkansas side, didnot sink, as was at first reported. She wasshot through the side into the coal buuks,and would have sunk but for runningashore. She has been recovered, and isnow anchored among tne Jjeuerai neet.Her damage, it is said, can be easily repaired.

tne den. Bragg was snguuy miurea Dy ashot about the wheel, and was captured.She got a smash in the side.

Ihe Sumter, as already stateo, was iiKe- -

wise captured. She is in good condition.The Van Dorn. Com. Montgomery's flag

ship, was the only one of the Confederatefleet wnieu escaped, ane was pursued someten miles, but she was too jBeet to be captured, t

The number of prisoners taken rangesfrom 70 to 100, about 20 being officers.We cannot get any details aoout tue loss inkilled, though enough is known to inducehe belief that it was fearfujL

The ferry boat Mark R. Clieek was takenposseseionof Saturday morning, and CaptCheek arrested and taken on board tnegunboat Benton. Capt. Cheek is chargedwith being instrumental in the hanging ofa man professing Union sentiments, on theArkansas side, last fall.

RUNAWAY SLAVES.

The police yesterday arrested five negroeswho had run away from their owners.They seem to have erroneous ideas of thecondition of things in Memphis. Three ofthem have been already returned to theirmasters, and the other two are awaitingorders.

A K0VEL SIGHT IN MBMPHIS A WHITE MAN

WITH TWO NEGROES ON HIS ARM.

On Saturday afternoon a white mamdressed in the uniform of a Federal marine)was observed walking down Main streetwith two negro women on his arms. Thenovel sight did not lail to attract attentionand elicit comment. He was followeddown Maine to Beale street, and thence toVance, by citizens and police officers, whofinally overtook him near St. Agnes Acad-emy on Vauce street. The man and one ofhis negro companions was arrested. Hewas taken to the Provost Marshal's officefor punishment, and the negro woman tothe Station House. While proceeding tothe Marshal's office, a crowd of excitedmen and boys followed, some crying out"hang him," "shoot him," and such like.Just belore getting to the Marshal's office,the man begged that he might be takenbefore our city tribunal or shot in histracks, rather than be taken where hewould be dealt with by his officials. Herepresented himself as being a native ofMassachusetts, and belonging to the gun-boat fleet. He was evidently attached tothe working force of the fleet. He seemedto anticipate severe punishment.

RICHMOND BEFORE THE BATTLE.

Correspondence or the Memphis Appeal.!

Richmond, May 29, 1862. A bright skyover the besieged city, a pleasant breezeplaying with the lindens, the greatest ac-

tivity m the streets, regiments marching toand fro, the roll of drums and the rattlingof cannon wheels such are the sights andBounds ol Richmond Never have Iseen the gardens and squares looking love-lier than at this moment. If Richmond isto fall, she will fall like the fatal bullock,wreathed and garlanded for the sacrifice.

Is the battle to go against us? Nobodylicre thinks eo. The spirit o the soldier is

that of buoyant confidence. The leadersof the army are animated by the liveliestassurance 01 victory.

With the knowledge that the great struggle so nearly impending will pass into his-tory as one of the decisive battles of theworld, with the conflicts of Hastings andTours and Waterloo, they look forward tothe scene as one in which they are to play apart of the highest inte.-es- t and dignity intue eyesoi me world. I his morning Uen.Lee left his bureau for the field, and withthe magnanimity characteristic of the man.reported to Gen. Johnston for duty. He mighthave assnmed the chief command, availedhimself of Gen. Johnston's preparationsand dispositions for the fight, and thus secured to nini6en an ine ertot ot the victory,if victory it is to be. But Gen. Lee thoughtthis was no time for insisting upon prece-dence of rank, and he was unwilling toUke from Johnston the credit which willbe justly his due, if he drives back the invader from the walls of the capital. Thisi6 true nobility of soul, and furnishes anexcellent example to smaller military menwho bicker for position in ther face of theenemy. A distinguished statesman told methat he shook hands with the CommandingGeneral as he leapt into the saddle to rideout to headquarters, and "that his faceshone like the face of an angel" irradiatedwith the light of anticipated triumph.

We have had a thousand rumorsall goiDg to show that the nearer the waria brought to our doors, the less do weknow of the actual operations of theforces or of the arrangements of the honr.It is said that Burnside is advancing onneiuou lu cut on our communication wituCharleston, while another reDort circulates to the effect that he has actuallycrossed the James River near Suffo k. andjoined his forces with those of McClelltn.It seems almost impossible to learn forcertain whether or not the Yankees are inpossession of the two railroads at theJunction, or of the Fredericksburg roaiat Ashland. Last night at twelve o'clockthe latest train brought away all the sicksoldiers and supplies then remaining in theAshland hospital, and the report that aFederal column was within four miles ofthe place.

An equal impossibility seems to exist ofarriving at the exact truth of the result ofthe skirmish of Tuesday afternoon at Peak'sTurn-Ou- t near Hanover Court House.Accounts given by men who were actuallyengaged in the fight are as contrarient aspossible. The Enquirer treats the aflair asof little importance. The Examiner saysGen. Branch was nndeaiably beaten and

and that our loss was con-siderable. What the Government reallybelieves with regard to tha result, may bejudged from the fact that Gen. Hill hasbeen sent forward to take the command atthis point over Geuerals Anderson audBranch.

It is believed that McClellan is massinghis troops as rapidly as possible to the northof the city, and that the battle will befought in that direction as soon as ourtroops can be brought to confront him.

The committee of citizens appointed tomake suitable arrangements for the recep-tion and treatment of the wounded, havebeen actively engaged for days past in thedischarge of their duty. About forty build-ings have been procured in various parts ofthe city, to which the brave fellows are tobe conveyed.

Richmond, May 30, 'iSGi There -- is.hitch somewhere In the preparations forthe great battle. The day hat come, butall is quiet along the lines. - Not a gun hasbeen he'.rd in any direction' aroond ibecity. 1at the attack was to have beenmade this morning is considered absolutelycertain, but causes unknown to the publichave delayjed jtCicn. Leewho went outmy last letter, in the full expectation thatthe fight would be commenced by sunrise,rode quietly back to his lodgings in town,and is now in his office. There are many-reason-s

suggested for the change of plans.One accouut declares that the Yankeeshave suddenlv withdrawn from their ad-vanced potitions on the Chickahominy,and are in full retreat toward their gun-boats.

The Dispatch newspaper makes this state-ment with much apparent confidence, butupon diligent inquiry I cannot learn thatthere is the least authority for it. Gen.Floyd, accompanied by his aidacdadmirer,John M. Daniel of the Examiner, rode outat a very early hour this morning to thelines, for the purpose, perhaps, of doing alittle amateur fighting "on his own hook,"but returned about noon quite satisfied thatthe conflict would not come off to day, andMr. Daniel gave as a reason for the post-ponement that it was found that the twoarmies were not near enough together.

The true cause, from the best informationI can gather, is that some uncertainty pre-vails with Gen. Johoston as to the precisesituation of McDowell's command, and heis unwilling to order the attack until he as-certains beyond a doubt where McDowellis now posted. The interests at stake inthe pendiug conflict are too momentous tobe hazirded upon any doubtful knowledgeof the full strength of the foe.

A very severe storm of rain, accompaniedby vivid flashes of lightning and heavypeals of thunder, burst upon the city thisafternoon. The blackest part of the cloudwas over the Chickahominy, where thetwo hostile armies have had an exhibitionof heaven's artillery The rain fell in tor-rents for more than two hours,and may haveswollen the stream so as to delay yet lon-ger the conflict so soon expected there.

The Army of the Mississippi.southern view of the retreat.

From the Mobi'c Tribune, June 3

There is hardly a doubt that our armyhas fallen Tack from Corinth report saysto Booneville, Baldwyn and Guntown thefirst twenty and a half, the second thirty-on- e

and a halt, and the third thirty-si- x andthree-quart- miles this side of Corinth, onthe railroad.

The opinion of skillful soldiers is thatthis is the best strategical movement thathas been made during the war. It with-draws onr army a good distance from theTennessee river, puts it in a more health-ful position, and renders utterly uselessthe intrenchments which the enemy have60 laboriously thrown up. Not a man fromthe force of Gen. Halleck can be spared onthis account. He must sit where he is un-til he rots, or move at great hazard, to ournew positions, where there is no cover forhis approach, and where, in fact, he willhave no means of making it. The move-ment may seem slow; but it is sure. It isof vast importance that nothing be riskedon our side without an almost positive as-surance of victory; and that, after a whilewe shall certainly win in this line. Halleckwill have to run away, or be slaughtered, orfind his army demoralized. If he attemptto run , then is our opportunity. We ex-pect, therefore, to hear before long of thecomplete routing of his forces.

The same journal in another paragraphsays: - -

One gentleman, who left Corinth on Fri-day, says that there have been skirmishesevery day since Tuesday, during whichtime our forces have been falling back, audthat they, or the most of them, are now atBaldwyn, Boonville, and Guntown, wherethey will make a stand. They had removedall of their ordnance, etc., from Corinth,and had destroyed everything of impor-tance at that place before retiring, aud asthey came down, the rear tore up the rail-road. We hear of other rumors, but placelittle reliance in them.

obstructions.It is reported and confidently believed,

says the Jackson Mississippian, that Beau-regard has obstructed the Tennessee riverat Duck River Suck, about 125 miles belowEastport, by blasting the cliff, thereby fill-ing the channel with masses of stone andforest trees. If this be true, the enemy'stransports anu guuDoats are, or will in afew days be at our mercy, and any attemptat retreat by the Federal army will insureus a complete success.

The Battle Near Richmond.

THE RESULT.

Further details from the Peninsula indi-

cate that no portion of tie ground lost byCasey's Division was regained during thebattle of Saturday. The correspondent o'the Philadelphia Inquirer is emphatic uponthis point. He states that "GeneralsHeintzleman, Keyes and Hooker, who wereon the ground, endeavored to stem the re-

treating current now rapidly setting in, butin consequence of the superior force ofthe Confederates and the lateness withwhich reinforcements arrived, failed to do

so." The New York Times now estimatesthe Federal loss at from six to eightthousand men. The New York Tribuneinsists that "we did not recover on Sundaythe guns lost by Casey's Division on Satur-day. They were carried off by the enemy."

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.From a N. Y. Times Correspondent.

John Washington, an Aid on Gen. John-ston's Staff, while carrying a messagethrough the woods,uncon6ciously rode intoour lines. On his person was found a com-plete list of our army, its divisions, corps,regiments and officers, together with itsdispositions before Richmond. Where isStanton " Did the newspapers furnish thisinformation to the enemy? To think sowould be the veriest absurdity. If this wasthe object sought in muzzling the Press,this capture proves that the rebels haveother and more reliable means of obtainingtheir information than by collating it froma host of newspapers, which by the way,it would be impossible for them to receive.This Mr. Washington was a Cadet at WestPoint, and only graduated last year. For-tunately, on his person, and in the 6amebook wh en contained the dispos'tion andnumber of our forces, was as full and com-plete a statement of the rebel force nowunder Gen. Johnston, and its dispositionlikewise. I do not know whether it maybe considered contraband to reveal thisfact, but I presume the enemy was awareof the fact that he carried this on his person .

From the N. Y. World Letter.The notorious Hampton Legion, by rebel

admission three thousand strong, is said tohave been terribly decimated. Tbey notonly lost largely from the Are of Kirby'sbattery, but likewise from the bayonetehanre of the 34th and 82d New York regiments. The Legion broke before the wildand impetuous dash of these men, but notuntil many a one had been nigh cut in twainDy tue guttering uayuucw ui uui d

OUR LOSS

cannot, in killed, wounded and missing, beless than forty-fiv- e hundred, thus showingthis battle, so farasloss of lifeis concerned,to be the second engagement in the war,being exceeded) only by Shiloh. The re-

ports of divisions are not yet all in. InSedgwick's the aggregate is 47 killed, 279

wounded; in Richardson's 941 killed,wounded and missing, of whom 400 aremissing, most of whom will undoubtedlyreport. In Kearney's, 1,279 killed, wound-ed and missing, there not being more thanforty of the latter. This makes a total ofover 2,500 in three divisions. Hooker'sloss is comparatively light; Couch's heavy;Casey's light in casualties, because his mendidn't stand, but be may return a largenumber missing.

WHO FOUGHT AGAINST US?

There were at Fair Oaks Station duringSaturday, the following rebel generals :

Jeff. Davis, Gen. Robert E. Lee, Gen. G. B.Magruder, Gen. Johnson, Gen. Huger.These three litter had commands in ac- -

REBEL OFFICERS CAPTl RED.Besides Brigadier General Pettigrew, ofSouth Carolina, captured. Colonel Light

was killed on the field while vainly chare- - "ing Kirby's battery.

AN ANECDOTE OF MAGRUDER.Magruder was directing the rebel move-

ments on their left, opposite Sedgwick'division. Kirby's battery was pouring iaheavy discharges of cannister when Ma-gruder caught sight of it, and by its old.peculiar and faded guidons, at once rceog '

nized it as Light Battery I, First U. S. Ar-tillery, formerly commanded by himself.He at once exclaimed: "By G d, boysthat's my battery charge on it!" Theyobeyed. Once, twice, thrice they essayed an"advance; but it was advancing to some de .struetion. Kirby, with relentless severityand great accuracy, poured round afterround of cannister into them, and theyfinally were swept back in great confusion.Seeing this, Magruder. characteristicallyexclaimed: "That fire is hotter than h 1 !The d 1 could't stand it! Boys let's get

''

out of this!" and he got speedily out ofthat wilderness.

Foreign News. ::From the N. Y. Tribune. 7th.

The London Morning Post understands" "

that thi demand for the restitution of theEmily St. JUrre can not be complied with, as ;municipal laws take no cognizance of the .

act of the three men who recaptured her asan offense, 01 recognize it as an iDjury suf-fer- ed

by the belligerents. Had an Amcri--c- ancruiser fallen in with the ship, she

might have seized her, but there is nomunicipal law which can warrant the Eng-- "lish Government in giving her up, and it ? 'therefore bound to refuse compliance witothe request.

The London Times, in an editorial on ithsnrrender of Norfolk, the destruction of thailerrimac, &e., says the conquest of th

"

South, so far as the water is concerned,seems almost complete. On land, how-ever, the Times says, it is premature to say "

the rebel power is altogether broken. Itsees no signs of the end, and no indications "

as to what that end will be. The Southern- - .era may be beaten in ba tle, tut they haveimmense territories for retreat. The con--test is virtually the whole world against theSonth, as the North is opened to the shipsof the world, while the South is complete- -ly shut ont. The surprise is not that theConfederates retreat, but that they make '

front at all.The London Times thinks Gen. Butler's ,

rule at NewO rleans is exceedingly severe .and harsh, and calculated to make the raia--ing of the blocKade valueless. - . 1

Ihe London Morning Post is very bitteron General Butler's proclamation, and saysthat not even the Austrians or Russiansever issued more severe decrees. .

The London Dailv News regards theabandonment of Norfolk and destruction oftne Merrunac as ot great importance, andlthat it proves the resignation by the Con-- "VHeirftte - Et sea.

The Times ia convinced, that the rebelsmade a good fight at New Orleans, and""offers them an apology for its former sneersat their ready surrender. Thence it passesto a consideration ot the effects of this andother victories of the Federal arms.

Yet. thouirh these thirds nrominn nraspeedy pacification, the Federal successes ;

nave been so important and rapid that wecannot wonder to see the people of the "

Northern States displaying, with a sincerity '

which cannot be doubted, their confidencein the coming victory of the government.

With them, it is sufficient thatvictory crowns the arms of the North, andlthat the Federal Government may be

mense amount of paper money that has '

been created, and the want of any other --

species of investment, have given a fict- i-cious value to stocks. Indeed, it is not somuch that they are highly valued aa thatmoney is cheap. Such a surplus of money,we are told, has never been Known in New .York, and the rate of interest on temporarynegotiations, is from one to two per cent,lower than the terms current a few weeksago. Every snccess brings to the people avnew accession of confidence In the govern-ment, and the general boast is that America', 'in addition to her grandeur in all other respects, is about to give to mankind thespectacle ol one of the greatest and mosteasily-born- e national debts in creation.

ferhaps tne idea that tne i ederal securities will be d emanded as investmentsabroad when the war is over has something;to do with their present buoyancy.

The capture of New Orleans is a greatvictory for the North, bnt it has not modi--fled the struggle. The North, advancing .

The appearance of the enemy at thatpoint was sudden and unexpected, andtheir retreat so precipitate, that our troopsdid not have an opportunity to punish theirtemerity.
