Having published the resolutions, as well as | the names of all the members of the deputation, in yesterday’s issue, it is unnecessary to re- peat them in this connection. LItis enough to state that the resolutions were engrossed in the mos! artistic manner possible, and framed with eqnal taste and elegance. The parties who were instrumental in getting up the entire ar- rangement deserye the highest praise for the good taste and judgment which they haye dis- played. About five o'clock in the afternoon someeight or ten carriages drove up to the Metropolitan Hote}, and the members of the deputation, dec- | orated with whiteribbon ties and accompanied by their iriends, immediately departed for the residence of General McClellan, which they reached in due season, after a pleasant drive through a portion of ¢ itth avenue. ‘The General received his visitors in the most cordia} manner. He was dressed in a neat biack suit, and looked miuch better than onany public occasion since his arrival in this city. General Fitz John Porter, Mr. George McLean, and a few members of his Staff were present by the side of their old chief and some 1our or five disiinguished citizens were also in attendance. Mr. Charles H. Utermehle, a lawyer of Washington, acted as chairman and spokesman of the delegation. He introduced each member of the committee to the General, after wnichhe proceeded in a very sponte speech to make the presentation. He said that as chtair- man of the delegation it was his pleasant duty to present to the General a copy of a joint resolution adopted by the Aldermen and Common Council of Washington, as an evi- deuce of their appreciation of the distinguished in 1561, the Government summoned Gen.

He was sincere, and true and | \nliant. Yet no one has disappointed me more than he has. Jackson was one of my class- mates, and sit college never promised to be the man he has proved himeelf..

Gen McClellan, in reply to various questions,sta | that at the time referred to he did not thiuk , there was much danger either to the person of | President Lincoln or to the Capital. Since ; then he had however obtained information which led him to believe that there really was a conspiracy to seize the person of Lincoln ; and gain possession of ashington. Had either event occurred, the effect might have ; changed the whole character of events, and re- | sulted in the Southern conspirators becomins $ ihe de facto Government. Possession of the NationaI° Capital, he thought, would hays given the Rebels amoral force equal to three | hundred thonsand men. A gentleman inquired if there would be any impropriety in asking whether the rnmor ths* | General McClellan bad tendered his resigna- tion to the President was.true or false? | The General promptly answered. “The ru- | mor has not the slightest foundation in fact.” After some turther conversation the depu‘a- tion withdrew hi, hly delighted with the re-uir | of their interview.

Miss., Probably invested, and the only Mode of Retreat Open to the Rebels 1s uy the Yazoo River. Caino, 111... May 12.—Intelligence from the army under Maj. Gen. Grant indicates that there has been no more important movement during the war than that recently accomplished in Mississippi. In order that its importance may be fully comprehended, a resume ot events may be necessary. It will probably be remem- bered that after Gen. Grant, with his ary. reached New « irthage, several gunboats and transports ran the batteries and arrived ar Grand Gulf, a place on the Mississippi river, where the Big Black river empties into There the rebels had thrown up strong fort cations and pronowiced them impregnabl- ‘The gun-boats, according to the plan, made an atiack in front, while a portion of General Grant's army took themin the mar. The ba- ue was a short one, but inflicted a severe pun- ishment on the Rebels. The ane Was then ordered to nove, and captared Bruinsburg, PortGibson, Bayon Pierre and Rodney. The next thing in order, according to the pro- gramme, ws tomarch tothe rear of Vicksburg. In order to prevent this, the Rebels, estimated atten thousand in number, occapied and en- deayored to hold to the woods about five miles trom Port Gibson. The country is quite hilly, and ravines and bayous tend to make it very difficult to move large bodies of men over it. The Federals ad- vanced cantiousiy, ull they came ap to the enemy, and, before the Rebel commander was fully aware of the approach of three thousand Federals, the attack was made. The superior torce of the foe, and the nneven face of the field, rendered the attack hazardous; but with am unyielding determination to succeed, the braye sons of the West prshed forward, and, with yell and shouts of “victory or death,” rushed upon the enemy, An ’ye-witness of the fight, aman who melt gunpowder in seyerai closely covtested batiles, says he neyer saw a more glorious scene The Rebels, when our forces fell on them , ington, The charge of disioyaity which had | were borne backward im ¢onfusion, aud‘com been basely insinuated had no foundation 1a fact or truth, When the first cloud of Secession pelled to abandon their dead and wi led.
