Southern News

BALTIMORE, May 7.

The regular news letter from Old Point is received.  The mail boat Nellie baker arrived just before the Old Point steamer left, and reported that Gen. McClellan was in Williamsburg, having driven the enemy from his position there.  A few captured cannon have been recaptured, and a whole division had been thrown in the rear of Williamsburg.
