Instantly after the gunboats started the rebel tug J. B. White came out in front-of Newport’s News, having left Norfolk this morning, with a crew and two citizens on board, on a mission to Tannery Point. By previous consent, they ran over to Newport’s News and surrendered to General Mausfield. This is the third time they have attempted to escupe, and they are now most happy individuals. x Sewall’s Point is being evacuated. The Monitor, Naugatuck and several gunboats have just leit for that point. Wasurnoton, May 8, 1862, A despatch from Fredericksburg states that it is currently reported and generally believed there that Norfolk has been evacuated by the rebels. EWS FROM FREDERICKSBURG. Wasuixcton, May 8, 1862. On. Monday afternoon Gen. Mefwwell, accompanied Generals Augur and Patrick, and escorted by a battalion of the Harris Light Cavalry, made a recunnoissauce abot two miles beyund Fredericksburg, anddrove in the rebol | pickets, capturing one of them. No casualties were sua- | tained on cur side. Much excitement exists in the Brocklyn Fourteenth militia reg!ment on account of the determination of Gov, Morgan to change its designation to that of the Eighty- fourth New York Volunteers. The change is violently opposed by the whole regiment. Even private letters addressed to Eighty-fourth New York Volunteers are returned unopened, An order of tne War Department, addressed Eighty-fourth New York Volunteers, or Four- teenth Now York State Militia, was refused. Lieutenant Waldron, commissioned in the Eighty-fourth New York Volunteers, upon reporting to the Colonel, was informed that no such regiment w: own tO exist, and his commission was ignor pera} Van Rensselaer has come to Washington tv have tne matter settled. the regiment clings to the title under which it wona hich reputation in the battle of Bull run, and possesses the sympathy of all the general olficers, It is determined to resist to the utmost the change of name. ‘The unfiaished monument to tke memory of Mrs- Wachington, in the vicinity of Fredericksburg, has been shame‘essly defaced by the rebel soldiery, who used it as @ target. It is covered with profane writing: and obscene caricatures, and scaled by ballets, some of which are buried in the marble, ‘Tho Mayor of Fredericksburg has stationed a guard at tho raiiroad bridge beyond the town to protect i from destruction by the rebels. Mvasures have aiso been taken to prevent the removal of property, hitherto extensively practised by the rebel sympathizers. "Tho cemeteries in tho vicinity of Frodericksburg aro ed with the graves of children, victims of seariet fever last winter. In @ population of four thousand, three hundred children died with this disease during the winter months, Visiters to Fredericksburg from the Union lines de- scribe their reception by the inhabitants as very amis- ing. Tbe men stare deflantiy,or turn thoir backs. The women turn up their noses, or laugh derisively, and the children exclaim, I sve a Yankee,” There goes a Yaa- kee.” Even those who bave been kin !ly received within tie federal cainps are frigid 1 reciproeating hospita ities. Noreliable information has beeu reecived during the last few days in regard to the movements ef the enemy on the Kappahanucck. Contrab: continue to flock in, but they betray great iguorance of the rebel opera tious. Some of the elaves, who left when our forces first advanced to Falmotth, have returned home, de. claring the road to freedom not so smooth as they an- ticipated, and preferring ther customary easy labor to uncertain gains and the absence of the care of thuse to whom they have been wont to look for assistance, Alleged Attempt to Murder by @ South- ern Negro.
