AMERICA. Nsw YosK, JUNE 8, EVENING.—The report received on Satarday last that General Lee had evacuated Fredericksburg, and that Hooker had occupied the city, was untrue. It appears that an consequence of the with- drawal of a Confederate brigade from Vicksburg General Hooker on Friday afternoon, sent a division acrosft the Rappahannock at Deep Run to reconnoitre. This division crossed in face of a heavy -fine from the Confederate rifle pits on the opposite shore: and, after capturing 100 Confederates in the rifle pits, and ascertaining that Long- street was there in force, tkey recrossed the river with the loss of 40 men. It is supposed that General Lee mafrvtaihs his position at Fredericksburg, and that his late movements were made to place his army in a more healthy situation. General Stuart reviewed from 12,000 to 15,000 Con- federate cavalry at Culpepper on Saturday last. Advices trom Vicksburg are to the 3rd inst. The siege operations continued One division of General Grant's army was on the west side of Black River Bridge, watetinz General Johnstone, who appeared there on the 1st and 2nd inst., with &.60& troops, but afterwards retired. General Johnstone is reported to have altogether 18,000 men, hat noartillery. Communication between Generals Grant and Banks is kept up along the Louisiana shore. Southern journals assert that General Kirby Smith has defeated General Banks at Port Hudson. The steamers America and Hammonia have arrived out. New YORK, JUNE 9, EVENING.- Blair's division of General Grant's army has made a reconnaisance 45 miles to the northward, but without finding any enemy. The country was very fertile, and the Federals destroyed quantities of cotton and stores. Memphis telegrams assert that all negroes in Federal uniforms captured by the Confederates are hung. The governor of Georgia, in view of the imminence of an early invasion of that state, has cal!ed upon the people to organise for defence. Since his assault of the 27th General Banks has made no fresh assault on Fort Hudson, but has commenced mining and siege operations. The Confederates fought with nnusual fierceness against the negro troops, and some accounts state that no wounded negroes were taken pri- soners, but all were slaughtered.

A democratic meeting has been called in Brooklyn to denounce the usurpation of the administration. The editors of the New York journals have passed resolutions, asserting their right to criticise thoactaofthe administration and its subordinates, and denying the right of the military to suppress papers published far from the seat of war. In the case of the Dolphin it has been decided that a vessel bound to Nassau, with the intention of sailing from there to a blockaded port. was equally liable to capture as if she was bound direct to a blockaded port. Sixty- six cases of rifles and swords were found on board the Dolphin entered on the freight list as hardware. A letter from the owner was also found, requesting the agents not to discharge the cargo at Nassau, but to obtain additional freight from therp. In the case of the steamer Pearl, time was allowed to the claimants to produce further testimony, but it was decided that vessels bound to convenient ports, with intentions of making voyages from there to blockaded ports, are subject to capture before their arrival at the ports from which they intend to sail for blockaded ports. Eight schooners are reported to have been captured in the Gulf. NEW YORK, JUNE 11, MORNING.—General Banks officially reports that the conduct of the negro troops has been heroic, and that there is no longer any doubt that the Governmeat will find in the negroes effective supporters.

General Sherman has died at New Orleans, Admiral Porter officially reports that he sent another expedition up the Yazoo, which destroyed nine Con- federate transports. Admiral Porter adds, that with the exception of some few steamers beyond Fort Pemberton the Confederates can now transport nothing on the Yazoo. The Philadelphia Inquirer says that the 2nd South Carolina negro regiment defeated the Confederates on the 3rd inst at Pocotoglio, and was holding the railroad bridge between Savannah and Charleston. Reinforce- ments are being forwarded to them. It is reported that Mr Vallandigham has been imprisoned by the Contederatea. NEW YORK, JUNtC 12, EVENING.—Three brigades of Federal cavalry, and 2000 infantry, crossed the Rappa- hannock on Tuesday last at Beverley Ford, and had a severe engagement with General Stuart's cavalry, lasting all day, when the Confederates received heavy infantry reinforcements, and the Federals recrossed the river, bringing away their dead and wounded. The object of the expedition was to frustrate the plans of General Lee, who bad assembled a force of cavalry at Culpepper Court House, with the view of making a raid into Maryland. The expedition is said to have succeeded in its object. General Lee has received reinforcements, and the im- pression still prevails that he will shortly assume the offensive. Great preparations for defence are being made in Pennsylvania. News from Vicksburg is to the 8th instant. The siege was progressing, but the situation had not changed. The enrolment is being resisted in Indiana. The pro.. vost marshal and his assistant have been shot. Considerable excitement prevails, and a military force has been sent to the scene of disorder.

(nr. Yl> T&B YELVEHTONS IN THE LORDS.—The aadittOBal time granted. Major Yelverton by the House of Lords for lodging his appeal case expires at the end of the pre- sent month. A few days ago, the major's agents obtained a peremptory order for the respondent, the Hon Mrs Theresa Yelveston, to lodge an answer within one week. The Yelverton case has already, during the last fire years, been heard before seven tribunals. It witi, there- fore, be difficult to suggest any new point for argument in the eighth—and now the last—appeal by Major Yel. verton from the judgment of the courts below. Under these circumstances it is doubtful if the case will be argued this session.
