WEDNESDAY, JUNE 89, 1861 Beprcsentativc Recruits. Tlie Provost Marshal General lias just issued a circular, wliose admirable sugges tion Bliould at once inspire another earnest move to speedily supply our victorious armies. Bo much has been bravely and skilfully accomplished by General Grant •and his noble men, that now, .while the • great end seems in view, we should he 'more than over ready to contribute our igbare of sacrifice and example to the cause. Our armies iritis! he supplied, and the. ene lny ho overcome.. Bet every, citizen realize this fact, and, whether or ndf liable to the draft, receive the proposition which Gen. Fry offers from the people with that practical welcome which its importance must surely claim. ,We give it here. n Persons not fit for military fluty, atwt not : Ita l>lo to draft, from age or other causes, have express? ' 1 desire to bo personally represented in the armv In addition to the contributions they have ,„, u lo in the way of bounties, they propose to'nro- CTro at their own expense, end present dor enlist ment recruits to represent them In the service. SMh nractlcnl patriotism is worthy of special com niendntlon ami encouragement. Provost Marshals; .and all other officers acting under this Bureau, are nrilered to furnish all the facilities In their powor to enlist ami muster promptly the acceptable represen tattve recruit* presented, in accordance with the de sign heroin set forth.” . ” ii The name of the person whom the recruit repre sents will be noted on the Enlistment and Descrip tive 801 l of the roornit, and will be carried forward from those papors to the other official records which form his military history. . “ Suitably prepared certificates of this personal representation in the service will ho forwarded from this office, to be filled: out and issued by Provost Marshals to the persons who put in representative recruits.. . Eycry citizen of means lifts how a way to make his own patriotism represented in tlie best effort of the war. Men who can not go to the war themselves can readily •send one, two, ot three stain ait men in their places, and thus lake double or triple share in bringing the war to a close. Many public-spirited men have heretofore re cruited, clothed, and -Supplied companies, squadrons, and regiments. It is not more difficult now for those most interested in the national success to recruit tor its ser vice Thousands of men will enlist, pro vided their families are ■ maintained in tbeir absence, or they .are accept ably rewarded for the risk, they under go. In this way,'men may he readily and voluntarily raised, and the... complained, injustice of commutation cease. Thus,', also, the general rigor of a draft may he avoided by the poor and rich. We hear that in some localities money to the amount of many fortunes has been paid to recruiting committees for substitutes, in view of the expected action of Congress in repealing the exemption clause. Every prosperous : citi 2en can do at least this much for his covin- -Uy—make liimself a voluntary officer in its temporary service, and recruit in good earnest among Ms neiglibors. Much can in tliis ivay ho done for the community, but still more for the nation. A New York Demonstration. There was a meeting of the friends of FREMONT and Cochrane, in New York, on Monday evening.. The following distin guished gentlemen were among the Yice 'Presidents: H. IVesesdonck, Pantaloon ■Candid-os, Sextos Lodwio Kafff, A. :Caoder Lange, W: H. Schtjpe, and Col. 'Pn-SEN. The speakers wore Dr. 0. A. Brownson nnd John Cochrane. Dr. Browsson insisted oh telling, tlie peoplehe. was quite old,-and to make no noise, after which he went on to say: ;\, “ Bat I Lave this to say, and let it boas my con fession, that in 1556 I Toted for .Tames Buchanan. That is bad enough. [Hisses.] Hear a little more: but in 18601 did the far worse thing of voting for Abraham Lincoln. [Great laughter, hisses, and ap plause; ebeers for:McClellan and Lincoln.] Hay ing been wrong twice, I do not mean to be wrong the third time—[“Bully’’]—and now I am,ready to support any man who will defeat Abraham Lin coln. [Hisses and applause.] My first object—the thing which lie 3 nearest my heart—is tb save the in tegrity of this nation, to save the Union anil the •Constitution which haß made its strength and its glory: lam ready to support any party o- any man— [Horatio Seymour ?]— yes, or VaHnndigkam [Hisses and cheers ] ; aye. or Fernando Wood — [Good, and ap plause'}—any wan who can defeat the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. Understand me, while that is my first object, to defeat the nominations of the Balti more Convention—[“ Bully,” and applause]—lam ready to join with all honest, all sincere, and all ! earnest Americans or American citizens who will -defeat Shoddy and Shoddy's defenders.” This -will show our readers that . the wooing of the -Radicals and Copperheads is progressing splendidly Qjetter, indeed, ..than we could anticipate. After thus prais iifg Yallandigiiaai we have naturally enough this endorsement of McClellan : “ McClellan is a very respectable: man, and It is •not worth while to say anything about Gen. McClellan till you can find a better general than be has proved to be. I never was a military or political partisan of Gen. McClellan; but I owe_hiijr this reparation to say that his successors have made him respectable os a general. [Cheers.] llow about Fremont? Is it possible that he is to have none of this: new-made respectability ?, After this harangue, Johh Cochrane— formerly a .general, wo. be lieve—made a speech, the most remarkable •declaration in which was .the..following,: « Let it he borne in reverberating echoes along •the streets of New Yorlt, and penetrate every se questered vale of the land : let it flush along yonder ■wire—if the Government will permit the news to go that here, to-niglit, freemen have assembled by thousands to assertitheir right of free speech and tiro great principles or Magna Charta, the Bit [ of Bights, and the Constitution of the United States.” Now that we have permitted the Fre mont speakers to speak for themselves, our readers may form some idea; of the meeting ■from the report .of the Herald : . ■ 11 There were two stands erectecl outside the build 3hks, east nnd west—one termed the German and the other the English stand. The assemblage here was not large, hut a few hundred persons being present at rut time, and those not tarrying very long. The sneakers wanted the itsual incentive to oralory—an au dience and they incontinently vacated; the stands, leav ing the square to peace and quiet,” The House of Representatives resolved on Monday that it was the duty of- its offi cers, in appointing subordinates, to give the preference, to returned soldiers. The prin-: ciple thus affirmed should he .respected in all the public departments. No one has so much right tfo he an office-holder under the United States as the soldier who has for three years fought for his country. Hon. James Pollock long ago decided that in . all cases veterans shall he appointed to va cancies in the Mint in preference to civi lians, and the results have justifiedthe rule. WASHINGTON.

Be said there was a parallel throughout be tween George the Third and Lord. North as to the Colo nies of America, and President Lincoln ami Ins Cabiuet in respect to the Southern States. Both -the King ami.

Mr DAVIS concluded hie remarks, when .

If his colleague (Mr. Rowell) was a traitor, the Senator himself is a greater traitor. Besides, the Senator drew up and argued, tho roost uilra-of confiscation acts ever presented in the Senate,aud forthe last eighteen moatHß he had been traducing ami abusing overy man who stands on the same platform ho aid when he en tered the Senate.

Ho has uttered ho war cries against trea .son. lie has not lifted up his voice in behalf of the con stituted authorities .of the country, lie has given no aid to strengthen the power of tho Government; his whole effort has been for Its destruction and ruin.

Do you suppose that If ths honora ble Sonatoruud bis colleagues had stood up and made every sacrifice that you would sen such scones In Ken tucky as you have witnessed? Not a word of it! The honorable Senatorhnd spoken against negro troops, and yet tho Governor of Kentucky, who was recently cooped up at Frankfort,could novovhave got out lmt for the gallantry and valor of negroes, who released him from the rebel blockade. It was well for the negroes to protect the Governor of Kentucky, but they have no interest in the Government, nud are only fit to be sneered at in tho spodchesof the Senator from Kentucky, Mr. DAVIS rose to repel the assault made upon him, ami *ald H was not true that he had changed a HoUtary opinion since he came into the Senate, or a solitary principle. It whb not true that hn had reversed his po sition, and ha challenged the Senator, or any othprraan whosoever, to prove the contrary by Ihe production of his F.peeches, in which ho condemned tho course of the Abolitionists as ho bad here to-night, and he had said distinctly that if he bad the power ho would Jiang tbo rebel# ami Abolitionists in pairs, and if ho had the pwerbe would hang the Senator from Minnesota with: There was some demonstration in the galleries, which was promptly suppressed by the Chair.

The war was, according to this declaration, not to bo coudnated for any other object than. to CQ*fi?9i <?iwUeiWS t to the lavra and respect to the Government: but the Senator bad departed from his course on that subject, on which he (Mr..

He repeated he oould prove his perfect con histency, rectitude, ahd adherence,to the constitutional . duty as well as that Senator.- .• ■ . • . Mr, WILKiESOK said that when this war was com menced he had no idea of doiug anything but to save Use country. Re had no desire to .oppress the people of the South, or adopt any measure which would -bo con sidered harsh or severe, but as the war has progressed, as the rebels have starved our prisoners, as Uity have butchered tbeir captives and,slaughtered others m cold blood, he was for desolation and subjngation. He was for the exercise of all the power that will crush, these infernal, damnable fiends under our feet, . Mr. POWELL, in reply to arcmarlc of Mr, Wilkinson, said it was not true that negroes reicuea Governor Bramlette at Frankfort and relieved the garrison. The Commonwealth .newspaper denounced the statement, which was made out of whole cloth. Sir. . WILKINSON said he had read a statement that Governor Brsmlette had soremarked, Mrl POWELLreplied there was such a'statemeut at tributed t<> the Governor, but it was a lie, and was re ported in the House. ' - 3Mr- CHANDLER said when be made the mphon to expel John C. Breckinridge, a vacancy whs thus created, which the Senator (Davis) filled.' He regretied having made the motion, as he be lieved Breckinridge could not have rendered as much aid and comfort to ihc rebels as his^successor haddone That Senator had come to him and asked him to move the expulsion of his colleague (Mr. Powell), but thU motion was made bytthe Senator from Minnesota. Mr. DAVIS advanced towards Mr. Chandler, and asked excitedly, Do you accuse mo of being a traitor? Mr. CHANDLER. 1 uccuso no man here of being a traitor but if you want to iaako a personal case, yon can have it. I accuse no man here of being a traitor, because every one here has taken the oath*ro support the Constitution. In the course of his remarks he said a loyal liOgrd WaS better than any. Southern rebel and.traitor, and he thanked God to-dav that we are near the end of this damnable and accursed rebellion, and we should use all possible means which the Almighty and the nation . give us for the accomplishment of thU end-; Mr.HARLAN offered a resolution, which was ordered to be printed, requesting the President to appoint a day of humiliation and prayer, r Mr. McDOBGALL made aapeech against the bill. .. Mr; DAYiS replied to Mr. Chandler, saying he (3fr. Davis) was pledged before he came here to have a reso lution moved for the expulsion of Scnutor Poweli, and he believed that his colleague was satisfied with the ex planation which be had made' concerning his . course in- that particular. The Senate from Michigan had expressed his regret that he had moved for the ex pulficn of Breckiuridge, because ho (Mr. Davis) was thereby put in theiplaeeof that, traitor. The Senator could not regrethis course more than He did that ho had been put in his place here by any such agency as the ' Senator from Michigan.- • / •• - v Mr. DAVIS declared that his loyalty consisted in lus devotion to the Constitution, and not to Abrahaui L\a -5 coin or any' one else who is seeking to ovonhrow it. The course of tbo Senator from Michigan falsified his ; conrfco at the commencement of the war. | THE BILL.

TVashiwgtow, .TtievSS. —A despatch, dated Head quarters Army of the Potomac, June 2Tth, B'A. M-, says: An attack was made on Burnside's line about 11 o’clock on Saturday night, with, tho intention of driving hack a working party who were engaged in digging entrenchments towards the enemy, so as to gain a better posit ion in which to place guns to more effectually cover the works in front. The iiriDg was very brisk'for about: anjiour, re- ” suiting in our men holding their, ground,'and con tinuing their labors without: any loss of conse quence. ■ .T-" ‘ '.■■ ■■■ '■ ■ ' The usual amount of picket flring took place yes-. terday, being a little more persistent in front of the 9th Corps than at any other point. : ; It is usual to relieve picket corps shortly after dark, and the enemy being generally on tho alert at that time, the least noise invariably causes them to open lire, in the hope of heiug able to pick off some men while the change is being made. It is seldom any b&Tm results from these attacks, as the. men bavo become so careful to screen themselves that it. is next to impossible for the rebel sharpshooters to get the range of them. The health of the troops is in tho main good, con-: 'sidering the oppressive hot weather they have had - since crossing tho James river, and the scarcity of water in this section. Tho llth Corps seems to have the greatest number. in the hospitals from the effects of the weather. The : colored troops are represented as being un affected by tho heat Surgeon Jackson, in charge or the Itli'jlivision Hospital, 9th Corps, reports that in that division only forty men, out of more than 4,000, were unfit ;fov duty when’ they were put in front on Tuesday last, to relieve tho 2d Corps. This tends to show, how much better they can en dure the scorching rays of the sun than tho whito troops. ' * Appearances, yesterday afternoon, indicated that ■we were tbbave a shower of rain, thick Mack clouds appearing in the west, with a grea t deal of thunder; but we were disappointed, as the storm passed off to the northwest,: only a few drops of water falling in this vicinity. , AFFAIRS: ON THE JAMES RIVER.

V He gives to all the assurance of our final and con elusive success. Among tho striking facts which Sir. Dana Ims mentioned is that wo have at this moment 51,000^0f the rebel soldiers prisoners in our hands.

[Special Correspondence of Tho Press. 3 Amiy Headquarters, Near Petkrsjiurg,Va., June 21,15C4. This morning at 8.30 a sharp fire from oohorn mortars and rocket-batteries was poured into our Jlno on the extreme right. The ground was hold by Gen.

To oppose it, Captain AngelPs Battery K, and Captain Howell’s Battery M, of the 3d;New York Artillery, were put in posi tion, and by their superior gunnery silenced the rebel works. At 8.30 A. MI arebelelinrge was made ui)on our skirmish-lino by about 4(H) men. They suffered frightful loss from musketry, on their way, but effected a- lodgment In the outer lino of works. ; Having got so far, they found themselves quite un supported by any force in thelrrear. With, a galling fire from ten times their humber in front, and with the certainty of beingshot down in their tracks, if they tried to go back, this unfortunate charging party discreetly surrendered. Ono hundred and sixty-six prisoners were taken; thirty-six others were among the wounded. The residue must have been killed. The rebel force consisted of the 11th, 21st, and 27tli Regiments of South Carolina trobps, belonging to Hoke’s division of Beauregard’s army.: Among the captured rebels was a captain, who declared that the whole brigade he belonged to were ready to desert, and would do so, but for fear of being fired on in ad vancing.

J NEW YORK CITY* '-New York, Jane 2S t im. qtjaraktjne troubles. There exists, at present much excitement in those portions of Staten Island contiguous to the Quaran tine grounds. Rumors have for some time been prevalent that the Quarantine buildings are again to be used as hospitals. To any such action on the part of the authorities the people are thoroughly 'opposed: Gentlemen of .leisure, having their coun ‘try-seats thereabout established, are outraged at the thought of a lever-tainted atmosphere sweeping into their drawing. and billiard rooms. As usual, however, those who have but little legitimate in terest in the matter are the most, violent’ and up roarious in their opposition. In the year 1858 they assaulted tho hospitals, dragged; out tho sick and dying patients, placed them In positions eligiblo for scorching to death, and then fired the buildings. Many a poor fellow lay where'they had placed him, suffering from the intolerable heat and glare of tho flames. It was understood that the “leading citi zens ” were the Instigators or this riot, and, as is usual under such circumstances, tho, arm of tho law was comparatively powerioss to avongo the outrage. The present state of feeling upon the Island is un promising. and fears are entertained of a renewal of the same; lawless scenes. On Friday evening the [rowdies turned' out in force, and rendered night hideous with their discordant notes. Appear ances seemed threatening, but no violence was per petrated. If they wish to-burn the hospitals, of course they will do St, thereby entitling themselves to the euphonious titles of “friends,” “innocent people, ls afcd il outraged masses. ll - * ‘ MORE POLICE ASSAULTS. .:.

The London THmes says that Grant has evidently abandoned liis- original tactics and called strategy to the aid of brute force* It thinks the change un doubtedly betokens disappointment, if not weak ness, but adds. “ It is not indeed impossible that Grant’s army, after; all its terrible, losses, Is as strong now as it was wh6n the campaign opened. It is well ap pointed, and lacks nothing that greenbacks can procure. Its equipment is perfect, its artillery numerous, its. provisions at present abundant, its health for the moment good, and; its spirits such os the spirits of Americans always are. It will fight as well as- it has hitherto done, and will bear the slaughter of a third of its numbers with the equanimity , which so surprises Euro peans. The general will, doubtless, use all his energy, aud attack the.enemy again and again with the obstinacy of a man who knows that all de pends on his success. On the one side are fame, popularity, the highest honors, the Presidency It self; on the other are obscurity, slander, and the as sociation In men’s minds with a Pope anda Hooker. A man who has done so much as Grant will strug gle with desperation to do more. All that we can be sure of is that the Confederates will have to stand' the shock of a very powerful *army wielded bv an energetic will ; and we nmy further presumo.tllafc it' they succeed in worsting-such an antagonist, the effect on the Northern people will be greater than, has been hitherto produced by:any campaign.”; The Morning Post says Grant has • undoubtedly shown greatjudginent and; boldness, but tho deci sive battle has yet to be fought. : The Daily News eulogizes Grant’s strategic move ments, and thinks that tho worst he lias now to fear Is.the malaria of the region around Richmond, and that if Richmond is to be preserved, it must be pro : served by the army now under its walls. The Morning Star interprets tho Persia’s news as highly favorable to tho North, and looks upon ' Grant’s advance as a great victory. .

British Government' have been sent to the Governors of British Colonies respecting the treatment of prizes captured by Federal or Confederate cruizers, if brought into Bri tish waters. The new rules are as follows: : {£ l. if any prize captured by a. ship-of-war of either of the belligerent powers shall he brought by the’captors within her. Majesty's jurisdiction, notice shall be given by the Governor to the cap tors immediately to depart and remove such prize. 2. A vessel which shall have been actually and bonajide, converted into and used as a public ves sel of war shall not be deemed to bo a prize with in the meaning of these rules. 3.’lf any prize shall bo brought within her Majesty’s jurisdiction through mere stress of weather, or other extreme and unavoidable necessity, the Governor may allow for her removal such time as ho may consider to be necessary. 4. If any prize shall not be re moved at the time prescribed to the captora bythe Governor, the Governor may detain suen prize until her Majesty’s pleasure shall be made known. 5. If any prize shall have been captured by any viola tion of the territory or territorial wafers of her Majesty, the Governor may detain such prize until ■ her Majesty’s pleasure shall be made known. Her Majesty’s Government have not thought it necessary to make any addition to the instructions already given with respect to car goes—viz.: that f her Majesty ! s : orders apply as much to prize cargoes of every kind, which-may be brought by any armed ships or privateers of either belligerent into British waters,.as to the cap tured vessels themselves. They do'not, however, apply to any articles which may have formed part .of any such cargoes if brought within British juris diction, hot by armed ships or. privateers of either belligerent, but by. other persons who may have ac quired or may claim property fin them by reason of any dealings with the captors. These rules are for the guidance of the executive authority, and are not intended to int erfere in any way. with the pro cess of any court or justice.” ■ :: THE DANISH ■WAR. . Juno 16, P. M.—The Paris ConstifuUon nilof to-day contains an article, showing England to be compelled to take part in the Dano-German war, while France can remain neutral. The Copenhagen Dagbladcl of the 15th calls on tho Government, provided the support of England and Sweden be withheld, onlihe resumption of hostili ties, to seek support from the revolutionarv ele-. ments of Europe, and to accept Garibaldi’s' offer. It also urges the raising of a foreign legion. FORGED CONFEDERATE BONDS. A letter in the Times’ city article states that a quantity of forged : Confederate bonds of X2O each have been put-in circulation in England.' The writer says they were seat from New York and sold. One batch of $72,000, was sold in London to go to Holland. - - The Banish Conference in London makes no headway. The Paris Memorial Diplomatique asserts that. Earl Russell communicated to Count Apponyi the Banish note announcing the resumption of hos tilities on the 12th, should the belligerents not pre viously comb to an understanding. Russell inti mated that should the Austrian fleet proceed to the Baltic when hostilities were resumed, would be compelled to send a fleet also. Austria will not send a fleet if the truce is prolonged. SPAIN. •• There was some;-excitement at Madrid under tho latest dates , from Peru.

Tko ball was much crowded, and, although a Fremont meeting, there were umnistakcablc indi cations that a large number of the supporters of Mr. Idncoln were present. Flag 3, covered over with various mottoes sotting forth the loading Ideas in tho Cleveland platform ; transparencies serving the same important purpose, and festooned ban ners, pcmlantfrom roof and draped on pillar, and an immense plaifmn made up the interior arrange ments for the meeting. Besides this, two other stands wore erected on tho outside. During tho proceedings both divisions of the audience amu3od themselves by dicers and counter cheers j exclama tions and interpolations on the most of the speeches but without any unpleasant results. E. W. Gilbert, as president, called the meeting to order $ vice presidents and secretaries were ap pointed, and tho Cleveland platform adopted May 31, was read. The resolutions of the platform met with mingled applause and hisses, the former, how ever, greatly predominating. When the 13th was read, an individual at the door of the hall shouted out in stentorian tones: “ John C. Fremont refused to accept that clause of the platform.” ’ Great confusion followed, with the usual cries or “Put him out!” “Free speech I” “Who is hew “Bring him here!” &eV The regular ratification resolutions were then read. •• V The first ratifies the Cleveland nominations as the consistent and able advocates and exponents of con stitutional liberty and popular rights. . The second asserts that the Cloveland Convention has been shown to have “descended on aright line from the Republican party, established under the shade trees at Philadelphia in ’as.” The third affirms the fifth resolution of the Balti more Convention to be a violation of the Constitu tion, ruinous to civil rights, and destructive of all American liberty. The fourth asks the people whether a President of the United States shall, in defiance of the peopled Congress, create, restore, or introduce States, into the American Union for any purpose, even on a pre text for tho'public good. The eighth understands that a cardinal principle of Republican faith is that' the States, by their se cession and rebel lion, arc effectually out of the Union, and charges the Republican party, with at tempts to violate the Constitution, by nominating from Tennessee Andrew Johnson, who, by that faith, was not a citizen, or by making him a citizen of the Tjfnted States through the usurpation' by which Abraham Lincoln Is declare;! to have consti tutionally reconstructed Tennessee as a State, and restored her to the Union. . The resolutions were put and carried. Speeches were then made by Dr. Orestes |A.. Brownson, Hon. Mr. Claiborne, of Missouri, and Hon. John ,Cochrane. The remarks were inter spersedwith -confascd -applause for Lincoln and Fremont, hisses, shouts, questions, and satirical comments from the mass of listeners., At the con clusion of Mr. Cochrane’s spcechthe assembly was declared adjourned. It. was an imposing scene!. A rebel regiment, their bayonets glistening in the slanting rays of tlie setting sun, were having a dress parade on the sum mit oi the Kenesaw Mountain. Below were their rifle-pits, and their comrads d'anrus occupying them. . * A courier dashed up j he hands .the adjutant a document. It is an order from Johnson, announc ing to the troops that Sherman had brought his army so far south that his line of supplies was long er than he could hold; that he was too far from his base—just where their commanding general wished to get him: that a part of their army would hold the railroad, thirty miles north of the Etowah, and that the great railroad bridge at Alatoona had been completely destroyed; that in a.Tew days Sher man would be out of supplies, because he could bring no more . trains . through ,by the rail road. They were urged to maintain a bold front, and in a few days the Yankees would be forced to retreat. Breathless silence* evinces the attention which evefy word of the order re ceives, as the adjutant reads. Cheers are about to be given, when hark 1 loud whistles from Sherman’s cars, at Big Shanty, interrupt them. The number of whistles increase. Alatoona, Aekworfch, and Big Shanty depots resound with them. Supplies hare arrived. The effect can easily be imagined. . The illustration was so apt—the commentary so appro priate—that it was appreciated at the instant. “Bully for the base of supplies!” “Bully for the long line!”. “Three cheers for the big bridge!” “Here’s your Yankee cars!” . “There’s Sherman’s rations!”. Bedlam was loose along their line for a shorttime. t There is a tree in front of General Harrow’s 4th Division, 15th Anny Corps, Sherman’s army, which is called the fatal tree. Eight men were shot, one after another, ; as soon as they advanced to the ill fated tree to take a secure position behind its huge trunk. Seven men were shot, when a board was, placed there with the word “ dangerous” chalked upon it. -The rebels shot the guide-post into frag-, ments, and a sergeant took his place behind the un suspecting tree. In less than two minutes two Minie bails pierced the sergeant’s body, and he fell, the eighth martyr beneath the shadow of the tree of death. • , A correspondent of the Chicago Journal, writing; from Sherman’s army, says the rebel troops opposed to us are good soldiers and fight well. They are weli clothed, weir armed, and well fed. They ap pear to bo in good spirits. They are hardly willing togive Sherman credit for ability, and attribute his success to good luck. One old fellow, whom we took prisoner, argued the case very good humor edly,! and, to himself very satisfactorily. He said, “ You’uns would never have got we’uns outer them hills, only that Joe Hooker and another reegi ment fiiiiked us out.” We assured the venerable Butter nut {that Joe Hooker and that other “reegiroc7U” was very apt to do this‘sort of thing, and the old rebel closed the argument by “ Mciibc, mebbe; it does look like you’uns did It a purpose.” The saloon of a Mississippi river steamboat at tacked by guerillas presents a scene quite as comic as It exciting. To those who can at all control their nerves, the ludicrous positively banishes all thoughts of the tragic—to see great big fellows, with and without shoulder straps, sprawl fiat bo . hind every conceivable projection ©i chair or table,... at the first rattle of musketry, andgoing through the; absurdly impossible process of trying to make pan--' cakes of themselves. Near to my cabin door, where I was sitting reading when the alarm I saw behind the leaves of a. table, piled ;up abou% two feet high, a United States officer (notone of the 133 d), lying fiat on. his faee v on the top of a negro waiter;'and on the top of the latter a gaunt, petri fied, long-bearded sutler, whose eyes seemed ready to leap from their sockets. Poor fellow! X know he must iiave felt as relieved as any of us when we safely reached this place at 11P.

THE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR. the fire Hroßisr. The Good Will Engine Company Triumphant, THE CLOSING SCENES, The Fair was crowded lost evening in every part, much more so than at any one time since the (fraud opening on Jnne7tli. During the day theittrend ance was excellent, and many of the ladies in at tendance at the tables reportod that, the sales made by them were heavier tiian on any one day during the Fair. We are Informed by the committee that the gros* receipts of the Fair will reach about one million of dollars. The Committee on Labor, Income, and Revenue, have, wo arc informed, paid into the trev sury $570,000. The gross amount, It is thought, will reach $225,000. The closing scenes last night were eminently pa* triotic, and the Fair, it may be said, closed in a. grand, thrilling, and happy manner. At nine o’clock, the Executive Committee, accom panied by the band of musicians, formed In line of procession at their room, and marched to the plat form to the soul-fnspiring strains of Hail Columbia. The Right Rev. Bishop Hotter, In company with Mr. John "Welsh, the chairman of the Executive Committee, ascended the platform or gallery, fol lowed by the remaining members or the committee. Bishop Potter addressed the Throne of Grace in an eloquent and appropriate maimer. The Loxology was now sung, Mr. si. m. Mieheaer officiating as leader: “Praise God, from whom all McPnici?!i Sow; Praise Him, all creators here below; Praise Him above* ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. ” Mr. John Welsh, the chairman of the Executive Committee, delivered a short address, in jshlch ho said the whole affair had been conducted in a highly satisfactory manner, all the men, women, and children uniting in heart and soul to make the Fair a success. •••■.'■ - The band, now stationed on the floor, played the Star-Spangled Banner. Mr. Miehener sold : “ Fellow-citizens, I think we can all join in singing the Star-Spangled Banner.” It may be needless to say that the national song was sung with a full chorus. ' This being ended, a voice came from the densely packed multitude, “Give us * Yankee Doodle.* ” This was responded to by the band, and The people became wild with delight. They cheered, clapped their hands, waved their handkerchiefs, and evinced various demonstrations of joy. * Mr. Wm. D. Lewis proposed three cheers for the worthy chairman of the Executive Committee, John Welsh. This was responded to In the most lively manner. Tho committee now retired. On motion of Mr. Lewis, Dr John Rodman Paul was called to the chair, whereupon a series ofreso lutions were passed, returning thanks, on behalf of the people, to the ladies and gentlemen "who man aged the Fair..
