Monday morning, at 1 o'clock, the gunboat
Bombshell ran up the Roanoke river to look

fired into by a rebel battery.
About 3 o'clock a rebel ram cane down, ran
our batteries, and sunk the gunboat Southfield,
by running into her.
The gunboat Miami, a very strong vessel,
lay close to the ram. Captain Flusser, one of
the most gallant men in the Navy, cleared the
decks for action and fired a 9-inch shall into
the rebel ram, which rebounded, exploded and
killed the captain. The Miami was then imme

THE ARMY OP THE POTOMAC.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.)
ARMY or Tux POTOMAC, April 22, 1864.--
The army of the Potomac is actively engaged
in perfecting the preparations necessary to in
sure its success in the campaign in which it
is expected to play such an important part
during the present spring and ensuing summer.
All the commanders take advantage of every
fine day to drill their new recruits. The new
troops are fast becoming accustomed to the
evolutions of the line and the different duties
of the soldier.
Several commands have been recently re
viewed. Gen. Hancock has just completed a
review by divisions of all the troops in his fine
command, closing with a careful inspection of
the artillery, under command of Col. Tibball.
Gen. Sheridan has been reviewing the differ
ent divisions of his cavalry corps, having pre
viously reviewed the 2d division, Gen. Gregg
commanding. He proceeded to he vicinity of
Culpeper yesterday, where ho reviewed the Ist
division, to the command of which Gen. Dor
beft has been recently assigned. The division
was formed in lines by brigade. It was an im
posing spectacle to see so many horses dis
posed in order of battle on the field. General
Sheridan rode along the lines, carefully observ
ing the condition of the men and horses. He
then took up his position on an adjacent hill,and
the cavalry, wheeling by division to the right,
marched past in solid column.
General Sheridan was surrounded by a bril
liant array of officers, including Generals War
ren, Wadsworth and Robinson. Gen. Custer's
brigade was followed by the 2d, under corn- -
mend of Col. Devens, and the 3d, or regular
brigade,under Gen. erritt;the Horse artillery,
under Lieutenant Williams, bringing up the
rear.
The troops presented a fine appearance and
elicited the admiration of the new commander.
Cur,repsn,Va.,April ),1864.2—CaptainC.E.
Norris, 2d United States cavalry, now detailed
to inspect horses and return Government horses
that axe branded to the Quartermaster's De
partment, has returned one thousand good ca
valry horses within four weeks.
ALEXANDRIA, April 22.—A few days since
reports were received at General Tyler's head
quarters at Fairfax, that an organized body of
rebel guerillas were marauding in the neigh
borhood of Leesburg, and the 4th Delaware in
fantry and detachments from the 13th and 16th
New York and the 2d Massachusetts cavalry
was despatched in quest of them. The expe
dition scoured the country in the vicinity of
Leesburg, having been entirely successful.
The enterprise resulted in the capture of 21
rebels of Colonel Mosby's command, 25 head
of fine beef cattle, which were found in posses
sion of the rebel id, and three deserters from
our own army. Two of the deserters were
from Connecticut regiments and one from the
157th Pennsylvania infantry. Two of the re
bels were officers of Ashby's old command,
who, being home on furlough, were indulging
in a bit of private warfare on their own hook.
Our loss was one man killed and two wounded.
The Washington telegram to the Northern
papers, that the 2d corps was reviewed by
Generals Grant and Meade on the 21st instant,
was purely imaginary. The review, as a corps,
has not yet taken place, but will very soon.

EYE AND EAR.—Of the many ailments to
which the human family are subject, there are
none requiring such consummate skill and sound
professional knowledge as diseases Of the Eye and
Ear. The extreme delicacy and sensitiveness of
these organs add, much to this difficulty. This
being the case it *ould seem that he who devotes
his whole attention to the diseases incidental to
these organs would meet with most success.
Prof. J. Isaacs, .EL D. ' No. 511 Pine street, has
for many years given his individual attention to
disenses of the Eye and Ear, and his skill in curing
such diseases, is well attested by certificates from
all parts of the city and country. Those who are

COURTS
QUARTER. SESSIONS—Judge Thompson.—An in•
teresting habeas corpus case was beard this morn
ing. Mrs. Ann Brady, the mother of Patrick
Brady, a lad of about twelve or fourteen years of
age, at present an iamate of the House of Refuge.
applied for his custody through a habeas corpus.
The return to the writ alleged that the boy
committed to the House on the ltlth of May 1 t.
Mr. Barclay, the Solicitor for the Ho se of
Befuge, objected to a hearing at this late day, when
the witnesses had dispersed The boy had been in
the House previously, and was taken out by his
mother. His second committal was on a charge
of burglary and larceny. Mr. B. thought a hear
ing after a year's imprisonment, would prove de
structive of the discipline of the House of Refuge.
Mr. O'Byrne, for the mother, thought the right
of the mother were superior to the discipline of the
House. In regard to the first committal to the
House, it was established that the boy had simply
plucked a few flowers from a roadside, and on the
second occasion, he, in company with another
boy, had gone into a school house and taken a
number of concert tickets, and this was magnified
Into a charge of burglary. They could show that
the mother was respectable, and that she reared
her children properly; that the Managers had pro
mised to release the boy at the end of a year, and
hence the Mother had neglected to apply sooner fur
a writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Thompson thought the time had passed
for a hearing in the case, When a child is coin
nutted to the House, 'within a short time a judge
goes there for the purpose of investigating the
cause of comlnitment If the . parents desire a
public hearing the case is sent to Court. If the
parents do not choose to attend the judge hears and
disposes of the case with the evidence before him.
In this case the boy admitted that he was guilty of
the charge preferred
Mr. 0' Byrne quoted a decision by Judge King,
that the admissionof a boy should not be taken as
evidence of guilt, as a boy of under years if
charged with arson and burglary, was as likely to
confess as deny, when surrounded by officers.
Mr. 0' Byrne said the parents seldom hear of the
investigation made at. the house, and therefore it
was unfair to impute neglect to them because they
do not appear.
Judge Thompson said the boy was committed on
the lath of May and the hearing took place on the
sth of June, and during that time the mother had
an opportunity to press her claim.
Mr. Byrne said that If he was allowed. to give
evidence he would show that the mother applied
to the House but she received no notice of the hear
ing He. renewed his offers to prove by the
nephews, relatives, friends and teachers, the
respectability of the mother.
J udge Thompson still thought that it was im
proper to give the parties two hearings on account
of habeas corpus.
Mr. O'Byrne denied that the first hearing was
upon a writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Thcmpson said it was the same thing.
After some remarks in reference to the fact that
this boy had been in the House twice, Le postponed
a decision until Saturday nest'
Comkox PLEAS—Judges Allison and Ludlow--
This morning Judge Allison delivered an opinion
in the case of John Kromer vs. Wm Calhoun, in
volving the question of the extinguishment of a
ground rent where the covenant is for i‘lawfir
money." A tender of Uniteil States notes was
made and the question is in regard to the legality
of - this tender. The Court decides that as a ground
rent is not a debt, the tender of the United States
notes was not a compliance with the covenant.

are you to-day?
And your three little children at home, how are
they?
I'm glad they are well;. you'll of course take them
all,
On the second of May, to the Children's May Ball.
It opens quite early, at half after three—
' They will leave before seven, and get home to tea.
I'm glad 'tie in daylight, as esch little lark
Can be snugly tucked into its nest before dark.
I'm going to take Freddy and Harry and Jane—
' Tis a sight that they never may witness again.
• And I shall go too, • tis my greatest delight
To see all the little ones happy and bright.
Right gladly I'll give fifty cents for the chance
Of seeing their fairy forms fly through the dance;
And though mine are little, it gives them great
pleasure
To add each his mite to the brave soldier's treasure.
Though I can't well afford it in this day of trial,
I shall practice in some other way self-denial;
And I want them to feel that they each have a share
In all that we do f•n. the Great Central Fair.
The tickets are two for a dollar, you know,
And no extra charge if I let Bridget go,
To see when they get there they look nice and neat,
And be sure they get nothing impradent to eat.
But of that there's no danger, for ices and cake
The whole entertainment, they tell me, will make,
The cake the Committee will gratis dispense,
But for ices they charge for each saucer five cents,
There are tickets for sale here at Schwartz's close
by,
We'd better secure them,—let's step in and try.
'Tis just round the corner in Chestnut, you know
One thousand and six. come, let's both of us go;
If all his are sold, to Miss Druck' s I shall send.
I'm determined the children this ball shall attend.
Sixth and Buttonwood is not much out of my
way,
Tie there Miss Druck lives, and I'll send thereto.

Now be sure that you send Richard, Amy and
Bet:
-Don't keep them at home if the weather be wet.
The rooms, I am sure will be perfectly warm:
If you wrap them up well it will do them no

And you'll find they will none of them take any
