NEW YORK, April 25.
Reliable information places Gen. Lee in command of the rebels at Yorktown. Gen. Johnston did not remain. All rebel stores, ammunition, and baggage has been moved three miles to the rear of Yorktown. Contrabands say the rebels had nearly 200 killed and wounded in the recent affair at Lee’s Mills.
A gang of 3,000 negroes who were at work on a dam had a dozen killed, were stampeded by our shells, and had to be forced back with bayonets.
