Our Yorktown Correspond Yorntown, Va., May 4, 1864, An expedition moved up the James river on Monday last; but the rebels will not be able to learn much from this movement. They may fancy they understand the object of this advance; but they will find, when too late that a blow will be struck which will astonish thom, RECONKONGARCE ON THE PENINSULA. A number of reports pav} reached Williamsburg withta Tho Tast Yow Saye ¥ fi concentration of a large rebel force on the south side of the Chickahominy, near Bottom’s Bridge, Colonel B. F. Onderdovk, of the Firet Now York Mounted Rifles, was ordered to make a recon- noissance in that direction with a detachment of his reg!- ment, accompanied by the howitzer battery. Tho party left Williamsburg at ¢aybroak yesterday morning, mov- ing along the old Richmond stage road, and moeting with no obstruction until they hu wit :. — Panto aMONG ‘fire ANTS, The appearance of the force created tho greateat ox- citement among tho few natives still remaining on the debatable giotihd between the Chickahominy and Wil- liamsoufg They were satisfieg that the great ad- vhncg had commenced, that General Grant J Porson was in command. So imbued were they with this notion that ths bushwhackers and guerillas neglected to dre upoy the party from the woods, and hastened for- ‘ward as couriers to herald our advance, Almost every- from the expected negro infantry, whose adyont they looked forward to with the utmost terror. A REBRL PICKET, On arriving at Barbameviile the party was divided, Captain Hill and his troop, commanded by Major Wheelan, taking the York river road, while the main body pushed on towards Slaterville. The object of this division of force was to capture @ large rebel picket stationed at New Kent Court House. As the main body approached Slaterville the columo was fired into by guerillas, and after a hard run ono of Hume’s scouts was captured. The exchange of shots at this point probably gave tho rebels notice of our approach, and further con. coalment was dispensed with. NEW KENT COURT HOUBE, Rebel outposts wore one after the other run down and captured, and the moment after the appearance of the head of our column the whole rebel force stationed at this point, which was drawn up in the road to receive us, turned their horses aad fled. The whole advance under Major Hamiiton pursued them some distance, and would undoubtedly hawe captured or secured the entire party had not orders for a balt been given. This step was ron- dered necessery by the necessity of saving the horses for } further exertions. * Rim iifaiet. roncw at nortom’s sripce ‘was found to have been greatly overestimated, being composed only of Holcome’s South Carolina Legion, Their horsea, for want of proper oare and feed, have become almost worthless. This force, however, bas been recrvit fog up, and large numbers of fresn horses are daily ex pected, with which, according to one of the prisoners, it is proposed shortly to make a reid through our lines at Williameburg. ‘TRE PRISONERS tre all men of Intelligence, and far superior to tho class generally met with, Tho idea that tho expedition war the advance of the main army seems to have ontirely possessed them, One was captured who had witnessed ‘ont approach, and 60 reported ns to the officer in com mand of the party, who travemitied the same intelligence to Richmond. There is no doudt that the panic existing | fm the rebel capital was covsiderably increased by tho | Intelligence. ‘THE RETURN. ‘The object of the expedition having been completely accomplished, the party set out on their return, stopp'ng to rest fora few hours at Borhamavitie. We left ths position after dark, and six miles farther on, while pas: ing through a dense wood, eame quite unexpectedly upon TORPEDORS IN THR ROAD. The column had pe~-cd through the groater part of tho ‘woods, and were abou. entering the open country, when the advance came upon some wires lying across the road. Five or six loud explosions followed tm rapid succession, and a number of horses aad several of the men wore hit. ‘One horse und hie rivet word lifted several feet from the ground, and, strenge to may, neither was hurt. Although it was vory ‘lark, and thts kind of an attack ‘was entirely unexpected, ‘here was oot the slightest #!an Of panio among the men, Ordérs wore rapidly passed along the column, and the fire which now burst from 4 large body of guerillas, conecaled among the trees, was returned with such oft as to entirely silence tho assailants, The columa iaen moved ov, and reached all the valuable w Oar Iron-0!

On Friday morning she again got under way, ran rcross to New- port’s Nows Point, asd camo to an anchor 0 mouth of James river, within sight of the wreck of the gallant Dut ill-fated Congress. During the passage down tho coast sho was blessed with most favorable weather, lig!’ breezes and s moderate sea prevailing throughout the trip.

The Monitor clase of tron-clad te unquestionably a most ‘uncomfortable vessel for ber crew in any kind of work ‘Outside of smooth water; for, notwithstanding the favor- able circumstances undor whichs he made the run from ‘New York, the trip was extromely uppiessant and trying tothe ship's company, With ail ner tores aboard mud dal bunkers filled, the deck of a veesc! of this doserkpe tion ig but a foot or eighteen inches above the water. Consequently, whilo steaming ahead, every batchway and ekylight must be battened down, ns the seas con- {inually overflow her decks even during such moderate weather as we experienced. Thus all hands are penned gp within very close, warm quarters, below the water, Hine, with no egress from the bowels of: their iron home save by way of the narrow Indders and hatch: of tho turret. This of itself, ag a conse quence of absolute necossity; has of course to be borne with os best it can, bus unfortunately the dock, with its pine inches thickness of oak and iron plating over that, Proved so extremely leaky as to defy all attempts to stop the streams of water from rusping through. Tho officers showed a praiseworthy desire to do everything in their power to revder the men‘as comfortable as circum: stances would admit; but the discomfort experienced by the Fhip’s company may be imagined when I stato that *@e berth deck is lees than twenty-five feet square in the clear; that within its narrow limits some sixty or seventy men have to oat, live and sleep, and that during the whole of the passage the water was continually stream- ing down upon thom through leaks innumerable. Doubtless the welght of material used in constructing these vessols puts a great strain upon the deck timbors ag they forgo their way through the waters; but most decidedly some plan should be adapted before laying on the deck plates to render their timbers somewhat less leaky than asieve. Surely American mechanical genius is sufficiently inventive to devise means for remedying this evil. 6 Off Newport's Nows were ato the fron-clade Atlanta, Roanoke and Onondaga.

ON TO ROME! Mr. E. D. Westfall’s Despatch. Cuatranooca, Tenn., April 21, 1864, STRAWS TO TRLL THE WIND. Although everything is quiet at tho front just pow, I believe there ia a storm brewing in Northern Georgia which will burst simultaneously with the tornado in Virginin, There are a great many little things (it would be suicide for me to tell them) which lead me to think 80. I believe General Grant’s plan comprehends the cap- tore of Atianta as well as Richmond, and that the former will fall fret. Iincline more to the opinion that John- ston has been weakeued to support Ie than to the be lief that he has been strengthened to save Atlanta. Gen. Grant’s plan is the old Mission Ridge game on a grander scale, in which the chief himself evacts the role of Sher- man. Saturday night, Georgia lieutenant, with fifty-two nop commissioned officers and privates, deserted from the enemy and came into our lines. These desertors fepre- sented many different regiments in Jobneton’s army, ana the stories they told agreed in every particular. Har- dee’s corpe were under marching orders, and several train loads bad already left Daiton for the East—that is, for Allanta-and the impression among the officers and men was that they were going to Virginia, Thoy wero positive that no strange troops had recestly como into Dalton. Johnston is, without doubt, playing the blu gino so bandsomely practised by Bragg boforo Mur. freesboro while the siege of Vicksburg was going ov. He has quite a force of cavalry—say six thousond—in close proximity to our lines, and of lato they have done a great deal of threatening, bnt no actual damage, The “situation” is unchanged. 0. line of posts may be fotlowed on the map by Knox ville, London, Athens, Cleveland, Ringgold to Bridgeport, along the porth bank of the Tennesseé, to Hunteville and Decatar. The rebels are at Tunnel Hill and Dalton, with cavalry before Cleveland, Kinggold, afd in the neighbor hood south of the Teonessee, ia froat of Huutsville and Decatur. They know the situation as well as wo do, So thero is uot $he leagt harm jn telling it. REORGANIZATION. ‘The order consolidating the Eleventh avd Twelfth corps, and reducing General Hooker to a corps commander, has hoiled down a very big thing to ite proper dimensions. The & w corps fs nambered “Twentieth corps,’’ and Major General Dan BuiterGeld, who hag been a vigorous chief of stat all winter, commands a division in it, 1 bayo heard the wonder expressed by officers who know Genera!s Grant and Sherman well that Geuoral Hooker was not overslaughed altogether in the solection of a commander for the new corps. But Generals Hooker and Putterfeld appear to be the men who are lenst affected by the change, The complacency with which the former takes the now corps and the vigor with which, tho latter dives into the command hie division are admired by everybody in this Cumberlad army, and tne matter is takked about a good deal.

The assumption of the supreme command of tho armies Of the United States by General Grant was an era in the war which I do not think has been remarked by the press with that emphasis which its importance required. ‘Tt was the inauguration of a now system of warfare remodelling of the army. The veterans were re-enlisted in more senses than one, and they began their new term of service under entirely now regulatjons, which must add immoosely to their-streogth. The reorganization of the army, the reconstruction of corps, the displacement and assignment of officers, have been made by a bold hand, and could only have been attempted by a man con- fident of the strength of his groat popularity. Generals with papers and parties at their back have been displaced, and others made subordinate to officore of in- ferior grade, and yet neither oMcor nor party nor paper bas raised ahue and cry about it. Luxuries have been banished from the camp as from the diet of a pugilist, and tho army stripped for action as is the pugilist, and diseontent cannot raise aery against the reformer who bas done this, All this in reggrd to the Potomac Army we got here from the papers and reports of the numerous Potomac o@cers artivivg here for duty. The proparations being made here can be seen, and only the most casual of ob- sorvera could fail to ‘behold the redical changes which have been effected here. Goncral Sherman assumed com- mand of the military division a little over a month Maroh ery under his hands @ pew army has modeled atid placed in @ position for active operations. SUPPLIES.

Nasuvite, Tena., April 28, 1864, IMPRESSMENT OF ANIMALS, On Tuesday afternoon it was discovered that no person could leave the city without giving, in addition to thelr usual honor, the couvtersign and parolo of the day. Many residents in tho suburbs immediately beyond tho outposts were compelled to remain over night in the city. Thore appeared to be no trouble in getting in, but a great deal in getting out again. Officers were mystified by the “anheard of arrangement” of demanding the countersign in daylight, and the citizens wero astonished at the new movement, and antictpations of an attack wore indulged in by the timid and the confounded. The mystery was explained soon after night sct in, and ‘& wholesale impresament of horses began. Every horso belonging to citizens of any value for cavalry service was selzod. Many persone engaged in the business of carters and cabmen lost as high as twenty animals, The young mon of fast horse proclivities suffered to the vatue of nu- merous highly prized bloods. General Sherman proposes to mount a portion of bis cavalry on these anima's and put them at the front immediately. Many condemned horses, which have been recruited here by purchasers, were scized, although at the time of pur- chase it was particularly stated that no sefzure of* theso adimais ever be mide. But these promises of the authorities are very much like pie- crust. The department authorities promised, and the military division authorities break the promises. It re- minds one of the construction of the Linoolu ai oath. Rebel officers return and take it and are absolved from thetr crimes against the United States; but Gov- ernor Johnson, through his Judge of the Criminal Court, decides and proclaims that it does not absolve them the penalty of treason against the State of Tennessee. Goneral Sherman hes forover ruined the sale of con- domned horses tn this department, and Goversor Joba- aon bas totally nullified the Presidont’s amnesty oath. r Als jor General J. B.
