It was currently reported here before the fight that the battle would take place in the town, and it was on this account that many of the inhabitants fled who would not otherwise have left. They are beginning to return, but show their secession feelings. Two Union men of the town have held out throughout the whole reign of secessionism as Union men.--For this they have been subjected to indignities of every kind, from insulting words to personal attacks upon them in their houses. Mr. Lemuel J. Bowden, the prominent lawyer of the town and county, is one of them. He says the outrages committed by a single rebel regiment, while quartered here, were daily far greater than that of our whole army. The prisoners taken are representatives of over forty rebel regiments of infantry, besides independent volunteer corps, batteries, cavalry, &c. The 6th and 13th North Carolina, and 24th Virginia, are largely represented. The wounded remaining in the hospitals are doing well generally

ot into camp safe and made the above statement, and that the enemy were still advancing. As the reports of the pickets are not always to be relied on, it is more than probable that more of our pickets will return to camp. Our forces advanced to meet the "Hessians," and of course we have no fears for the result. The enemy, it seems, are trying to get to the York River Railroad and bar it up; but they will have a lively time before, they reach it. Some days since the notorious traitor, Lemuel J. Bowden, left Williamsburg, went to Washington, and complained that the military commander of the "Old Burg" was too lenient to our citizens, and that he ought to be removed. On his return, he was walking quietly down the street, consoles of having accomplished his ends, when some Yankees fell to and gave him such a handsome drubbing that it is thought he will, as of old, have to keep his house for several weeks. A few weeks since a steamer arrived in Pungoteague creek, in Accomac, Va., f

2 o'clock, "because the interest of the United States require it." In the Senate, Monday, Mr. Grimes said there were already prizes in New York to the amount of eight millions sterling, half of which should go to the Treasury. He called up a bill to effect that object. Mr. Powell, of Ky., said officers in the West had taken large sums of money from persons arrested, besides taking cotton, rice, tobacco, &c. Mr. Willey, of Western Virginia, presented the credentials of Hon. Lemuel J. Bowden, elected U. S. Senator from Virginia for six years from the 4th of March. The Society of Friends were refused exemption from the enrollment bill — yeas 14, nays 22. Mr. Lane, of Kansas, praised the bravery and fighting qualities of the negro. The bill giving the President power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus at pleasure finally passed the House by a vote of 97 to 45. A row has occurred between the Federal soldiers and the negroes at Hilton Head. The Chronic

rt says "caused the President manifest disappointment." After his army got to the Peninsula, Gen. Heintzelman received information that the rebels had only 10,000 troops at Yorktown, and the place might be taken. He advanced to make a heavy reconnaissance, but was recalled by McClellan, who "hoped that nothing had been done (by H.) to give the enemy information of the line of operation of the army." It was certain that Magruder had not more than 7,000 men, and this was confirmed by "Hon. Lemuel J. Bowden, of Williamsburg. " Notwithstanding all this McClellan determined on a siege, and here is the way it resulted: The returns in the Adjutant General's office, signed by General McClellan and his Adjutant General, show that, on the 30th of april, 1862, the forces on the Peninsula under General McClellan amounted to 112,362 present for duty. On the 1st of May the President telegraphs to General McClellan: "Your cell for Parings guns from Washington alarms me, chiefly because is
