Tuk Anuxst or VALLANDIGHAM—THE AL. BANY MEETING.—A meeting to protest against the arres! and sentence of C. L. Vallaudigham was held at the Capitol in Albany, N. Y., qn Saturday Speeches were made by Hon. Amasa J. Parker, Hon. Frs. Kernan, and others, and resolutions were adopted di une- ing the arrest of Mr. Vallandigham, as as un- Wwarlraniable assumption of military power. A letter was then read from Governor Sey- mour, characterizing the aryest of Mr. Vallan- digham as “an act which has brought dishonor upon our country—which is full of danger to our persons and our homes, and which bears upon its frontaconscions violation of law and justice.” , Some returned soldiers from the army mani- fested great indignaion at the style of this meeting, and at one time made 2 rush for the stage. Great excitement pre ed tor a short tume, and the proceedings were brought toa stand still.

Fortre: ONROE, May i6.—The Richmond Enquirer of yesterday contains the following: THE FIGHTIN Eh Jackson, May }2.—The enemy (Federal) yes- terday advanced in column i1:.0 strong upon Raymond, where Gen. Gregg bad 4,100 intan- uy, & few cavalry and no artillery. Skirmish- ang began at 9a.m. The enemy were conitinu- | ally reinforced until i p.m., when we opened battle heavily with musketry alone. Learning | that the enemy were heavily reiuforced, and | the reinforcements ready to engage, we retired | slowly and in good order through Raymond to make a stand at Mississippi Springs, where woneye been reinforced with infantry and ar- ullery. i Cot, McGavock, of the 10th Tennessee, was killed. The firing to-day is very heavy and | © continuous towards Jackson. One thousand of Gen. Grant's cayalry en- ‘ tered and burned Crystal Springs,on the New Grieans railroad, on the 10th. The Yankees are reported as entrenching | - themselves and tortifying at Port Gibson,Miss It is Grant’s purpose, no doubt, to make that place bis base of operations. If permitted, he | can mass thert his army snpplies, and ina very short time will put himself in a position from which it will be very difficuit to dislodge | him. THE STONEMAN CAVALRY RAID. @ificial Report of Col. Davis. in Command oi one Division of the Forces. Col. Davis, of the 12th Illinois cayalry, who was in command of a portion of Stoneman’s cavalry force, has submitted the official report of his operations to Gen. Rufus King, com- manding at Yorktown. * | On Sunday, May 3d, he received orders to penetrate to the Fredericksburg railroad, and, if possible, to the Virginia Central, and destroy communications. He murehed down the bank of the South Anna, through a region never be- fore penetrated by our forces; and on the first day burned one bridge and dispersed a party of mounted guerillas, and sirwck the first raii- | way line at Ashland, which village was taken | without difficulty. | ‘They cut the telegraph wire and tore upa hatt doven rails, and piling a quantity of boards , iu some trestle- work south of the town. made | an immense fire, which soon consumed the en- tire structure. While at this work, a train of cars approaching the town was captured and brought in for inspection, and the train being | found full of sick and wounded rebel soldiers, the latier were paroled and permitted to depart. The report continues thus : 1 We leit Ashlagd at 6 o’clock p.m. <A few | Miles trom the#lown, word was brought us | that a train of eighteen wagons was camped in | the wovuds near by. I sent Captain Roder with companies and C to destroy them, which he did. We siruck the Central railroad at Hanover Station aboutS p.m. Although wearied and exhausted by our day’s labor, I thought it best | to complete the duty assigned us, and break | ali the soemy's communications before resting. It would be impossible to give a precise state- ; ment of the damage here inflicted upon the | enemy; it must have been great. There were ! more than hundred wagons burned, a thou- | sand sacks of flour and corn, a large quantit; of clothing and horse equimpents. The build- ings and cars were full of property collected | tor the use of the Southern army. All private property we respected, and I believe that none whatever was damaged. — ' By the light of the burning buildings we left the station and marched for the Court House, _ which had been previously occupied by Cap- | tain Fisher, with companies A and G, who had placed pickets there, and taken a captain and four men prisoners. We passed through the Court House and marched down to within seven miles of Richmond, where we bivoucked till § a. m. the next day, when we marched for Willian:sburg. At Tunstal Station (near the ‘White Hou-e and the Richmond and Yorktown railroad) a train of cars, filled with infantry and « battery of three guns, Was run out to op- us. I thought it best to make an effort to break through before the men could be got out of the cars, or the battery in position. I there- fore brought up my two foremost squadrens and ordered a charge, which was executed by | them—Captain Reanes. with companies D and | F, taking the lead, and followed by Captain Sheaves, wih companies H and I. This cha was nademostgallantly. The infantry fill the embankment of the railway and poured upon us a severe fire, but ay men up tothe embankments in splendid style, | and with carbines aud pistols responded to the | fire with eqnalefiect. It was, however, impos- | sible to break throuch. There were formidable rifle-pits to the left of the road. and the enemy | soon iijied them, and we were forced to retire, | ‘with a loss of two killed and several wounded. Failing to trate the enemy's lines at that | point, Col. Davis started for Gloucester Point, | Pinere he arrived on the Sth mst., haying trav- | eled over two hundred miles through a section | of country never before traversed bya Federal | force. The total jo=s.in the expedition was three commissioned officers and thirey-three enlisted | men. They brought with them one hundred mules and seventy-five horses, captured from the enemy. They captured in the course of | their march a much larger number, which they | could not bring in. The amonnt of property | destroyed is estimated at over cue million of dollars. \ | pied by the Federa | aidin paying the debt on the schoo prop ——————————— VERY (MPORTANT FROM THE SOUTHWEST. after ————_ —E CAPTUREOF JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, IN TH!

Over 1,500 wounded soldiers of the Tweifth Army Corps, (Gen. Slocum,) have been re- ceived into the corps’ hospital at Aquia Creek since the late battle. Two hundred wounded (among them forty officers) were brought in yesterday from the enemies lines. Theee wounded report a great want of Assist- ance in the enemy’s lines, and some of them were obliged to pay rebel officers seven and eight doliars before the latter would render them assistance. The wounds of many have not been attended well, and in some cases mug- gots have been dug out almost by the handful. They were poorly provided for even with what ‘was furnished and sent over from our own supplies. » WHAT THE REBELS MEAN-TO DO. The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Richmond Dispaick writes, May 14, the follow- ing, which may mean something and may not: “Hooker apprehends ‘a crossing,’ I believe, more than we do. His backers take hope that we may ‘fall back’ from weariness and ex- haustion. And Richmond idlers may sug- | gest the same apprehension. Believe it not even if appearances should ever countenance the thought, and then remember that in the rising tide the wayes apparently recede, but only to gatherstrength and volume for further i conquest of the shore.” A GALLANT ACT. Maj. Gen. Heintzelman has issued an order | complimenting Col. De Forrest of the 5th New York Cavyualry, his officers and men, for their gallant rescue of a detachment of the 1st Vir- ginia Cavalry surprised and overpowered by rebel guerillas under Major Moseby, and for | the thorough manner in which they defeated them.

The Swedish Cabinet trusts to the humane and generous principles of the Emperor that he will issue words of clemency and oblivion, which, with a prospective regime of wise lib- erty, would completely restore order. The Spanish note bitterly regrets that the impatience of the Poles should not haye wai ed for a continuation of the system of conces- sions already accorded by the Emperor. The ({ueen asks pardon and indulgence for the Poles. The reply of Prince Gortchakoff thanks the Queen am | The note of the Turin cabinet is couched in the most amicable terms. Hopes that Russia will see in the date of its communication a proof of the desire that Italy will always en- tertain the most sincere relations with Russia- Gortchakoff states that the Emperor received | the amicable asstirances or the Italian Govern- ment with pleasure, as io the wishes it ex pressed in fayor of Poland. The Prince ob- serves that the Italian Government is not igno- rant of the fact that the revolution imposes a diflicult task upon the Governments. The Emperor, however, seeks to establish lasting peace.
