THE IMPENDING BATTLE IN. VIRGINIA.
WASEUROTON, May 3.—The counsels of the
military authorities are kept remarkably secret.
;Heretofore, on the eve of a battle, some idea
hould be formed of the contemplated Move
ments ; but now they are matters of mere
speculation, both among prominent civilians
and even army officers. The utmost confidence,
however, is reposed.in those having the direct
conduct of affairs, and due credit is given for
their wisdom in preventing premature disclo
sures.
ARRIVAL OF RELEASED PRISONERS
Rwrinortn, May 3.—The Smerican's special
Annapolis letter says ; The flag of truce boat
New York arrived at the .Naval Academy
wharf yesterday morning from City Point with
34 paroled officers and 364 men. Such was
the condition of the latter that every man of
them was admitted to the hospital. One hun
dred and fifty had to be carried from the water
on stretchers and cars. Their looks and words
abundantly testify that , their miserable condi
tion has been produced by starvation,and many
are undoubtedly pae; the - reach of medicine or
nourishment.
Among the officers is CoI. Rose of the 77th
Fennsylvania regiment, who was the chief
engineer of the tunnel by which so many of our
officers escaped in February last, he having
been recaptured.

Wenn:No.l'ox, May 3d.—The bill which has
just become a law, fixing rules and regulations
for preventing collisions on the water, will go
into effect on the let of September. It is 'ap
plicable both to the Navy and Mercantile lcia
rine. The same features have been adopted
by England and France, and perhaps by other
nations, and have thus become international.
A new principle has been adopted by a recent
law, namely, authorizing the Postmaster-Gen
eral to refund to Postuasters the sums of which
they may have been robbedlby the Confederate
forces or rebel guerillas.

XIXITIIITH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
WASHINGTON, May 3. '
Boren. —Mr. Schenck (Ohio) from the Commit-
tee on Military Affairs, reported a bill providing
that on and after the let of May next. the pay of
privates in the army shall be increased from $ll to
$lO a month, and that of non• commissioned offi
cers as follows: Corporals, $18; Sergeants, $•?0;
Orderly sergeants, $24; Sergeant Major, $2O per
Month. Clerks and Paymasters to receive $1,200
per annum, etc -
Er. Schenck moved the previous question and
was about to explain the bill, when •
Mr. Cox (Ohio) asked his colleague to withdraw
the demand so as to allow him to amend the bill
by increasing the pay of private soldiers to $lO
per month and non-commissioned officers $2O
Even this sum would hardly be enough to keep
pace with the increase of the price of necessaries
o, life for the families of the soldiers. His (Mr.
Cox's) friends, on his side of the - House, offkied
Ibis in. goodpith.
Nr. Schmick declined to comply, having been
instructed by his committee to urge the present
bill. -
Mr. Dawson (Pa.) appealed to'hlr. Schenck. He
was chairman of the Democratic caucus, and de
- sired to offer what that caucus had agreed to offer
for the soldiers.
Mr. Schenck replied that if the Democratic
caucus were more numerous than the Union
caucus they could vote down- the motion for the
previous question.
- ffir. Schenck proceeded to explain the bill.
Both the Senate and Haase have acted upon the
proposition to equalize the pay of the white and
colored soldiers.
'The Committee on Military Affairs had princi 7
pally confined themselves to the increase of pay.
in the course of his remarks he said it was pro
posed to amend a former law, so that officers may
have leave of absence for causes other than sick
. ness or wounds, without deduction of pay and
allowance, and that the absence shall not exceed
thirty days in any one year.
The ration of 1861 is restored making a reduc
tion of $1 29 a month. This took away nothing
essential to the soldier's comfort and subsistence,
and gave him supplies equal to those of any sol-
Biers in the world, and twice as much as those of
Jeff. Davis.
In the aggregate the Government vrill save con
siderable, while the soldier is paid live or six
times as much in cash as the deduction, in the la-
Icrease of his pay. _ . •

CITY BULLETIN.
PROCEEDINGS OP GENERAL • CONFP:RENCE
OF THE IL E.' CHURCH.
'SECOND DAT
Quite an exciting meeting wail held in front of
the Church this morning, hefore the opening of the
Session. According to the request of the body,
yesterday, the Stars and Stripes were thing out to
the breeze amid the lend Imams of a vast multi
tilde of people, both Clergy and Laity. The Bat
tle Song of Freedom was snag, alter which Rev.
Colonel Moody, of Ohio, made a patriotic speech,
in which he uttered sentiments that stirred every
loyal heart. His allusion to the old bell of Inde
pendence, and its motto was truly eloquent. Said
the speaker, It lam allowed to see that eld
I shall put my hand upon it and swear fidelity to
the Union afresh."
He contended that while the success of our old
flag would secure the freedom, from bendsge of
nearly flys millions of human beings,
it would
also bring deliyeranco and equality to 6 millions
of "poor white trash" who are down-trodden in
the South, and who, to a large extent, make no
their army.
The old battle cry was, “Osrry the war into
Africa." Now it is, "We'll carry Africa into the
war."
The President of the United States is as much
the servant of God as is Bishop Morris. God
rules the world by two arms—the right arm is the
Church, the left is the civil government.
Abraham Lincoln, as the servant of God, is a ter
ror to evil doers, but a praise to those who do
well. Bence Tallandigham went to Canada to
find protection under the British Lion. A mean
man in a mean place; the right man in the right
place.
The speaker closed by expressing the wish that
for the next four years, at least, the nation might
find peace and quietness in Abraham's bosom.
The Star Spangled Banner was then sung with a
will, and the audience adjourned into the church.
The opening religious services consisted of read
ing part of the sth chapter of St Matthew, and of
singing and prayer, conducted by the Rev. J. W.
Armstrong, of the Black River Conference.
The Journal of yesterday was read by the Secre
tary, Rev. Dr. Harris.
Bishop Simpson presided. '
Rev. Dr. Durbin, Chairman of the Committee
on Reception of the Delegates from the Wesleyan
Body in England, requested the other members of
the committee to proceed at once to Room No.
in the basement of the church.
The Committee on Rules for the government of
the body made their :report, which was adopted.
The hour 0110 having arrived, the special order
of the day, namely, the reception of the English
Delegates, was then taken up.
These distinguished gentlemen were then es
.corted into the church by the committee, and pre-
seined by them to the President, Bishop Morris.
The Rev. Dr. Thornton, Delegate from the Wes
leyan church, England, and the Rev. Dr. Robin
son. Delegate from the Wesleyan church of Ire
land, are the Delegates.
These gentlemen named were presented by the
Bishop to each of the college of Bishops, and the
Conference then received them - standing.
The delegate from England then presented to the
President the address of the Wesleyan Conference
in England to the General Conference of the M. E.
Church in America. It was handed to the Secre
tary, ' , who read it to the body.
It was in substance as follows :
Reverend and Very Dear Brethren: A grateful re
membrance of the origin from which we are both
descended, of the truth whibh we equally main
tain, and of the objects which we are mutaily
striving to promote by the diffusion of spiritual and
prkctical Christianity. prompts us to address you
on the present' occasion, and to convey to you
renewed assurances of all kindly and fraternal
affection.
Great has been our sympathy with you, beloved
brethren, in the calamities of the war which has
now for so long a time ravaged your land, and
which cannot but have inflicted sore distresses on
you as a Christian community, impeding not a
few of your evangelical efforts and casting shadows
of discouragement and fear on some of the brightest
scenes of y our ministerial toil. Our prayer is,
that the God of peace may speedily bring this na
tional strife to a righteous and happy termination
and - that the extensive territories may flourish be
yond all former measure in temporal anal spiritual
prosperity.
Meanwhile, and in every event, we trust that by
the grace and blessing of the God of our Fathers,
you will continue to hold on your way as minis.
tem of the word of life, sewing the seed of truth
with all fidelity, and reaping thence a plentiful
harvest, "fruit unto life eternal."
Still let us aim_in our several allotted provinces
of service to “walk by the same rule, to mind the
same thing," to spread scriptural holiness all
around us, and ever - to advance twhatsover
things are true,"
.!cc. -
Need we add that the sentiments which we have
often expressed on the evil of slavery, and the
importance of its speedy abolition, rem9in un
changed?.
Earnestly do we look for the time when that evil
shall no longer exist. The time - will assuredly
come.
May we remind you, brethren, -that as Chris
tians - Ton are called to pursue firm, yet wise and
pacific counsels, and in the very spirit of the Chris
tianity which you and we profess, to proceed with
calm and steady perseverance, entertaing no doubt
of the final result when slavery shall be no more
As our Delegate to the next general Conference in
Philadelphia, we haVe appointed the Rev. W. L.
Thornton, M. A., arid as his companion, the Rev.
William B. Pope—brethren beloved, in whom we
ourselves repose the highest confidence, and whom
we are persuaded that you will affectionately
welcome as messengers' to you of our constant
fraternal love.
And may the God of Grace cause all blessings
to abound towards you, and whatever may arise,
grant you the security of them who abide under
the shadow of His Almighty protection. '

COMMODORE WILKES TO BE REPRIMANDED.
NAVY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, May 3d,
1864.—General Orders No. 33.
Aka naval general court-martial recently con.
vened in the cityof Washington, Commodore
Charles Wilkes,of the Navy,was tried uponthe
following charges preferred against him by the
Department:
Charge 1. Disobedience of lawful orders of
his superior officers while in the execution of
his office.
Charge 2. Insubordinate conduct and negli
gence or carelessness in obeying ordeis.
Charge 3. Disrespect and disrespectful
language to his superior officer, whilst in the
execution of his office.
Chirge 4—Refusal of obedience to lawful
general orders or regulations issued by the Se
cretary of the Navy.
Charge s—Conduct unbecoming an officer
and constituting an offence made reprehensible
by Article 8 of the Articles adopted and put in
force for the government of the Navy of the
United. States.
Of each of these charges the accused was
found by the Court “Guilty," and was sen
tenced in the following terms:
""And the court does hereby sentence the
accused, Commodore Chas. Wilkes, to be pub
licly reprimanded by the Secretary of the
Navy, and to be suspended from duty for the
term of three years."
The finding of the court in this case is ap
proved and the sentence is confirmed.
In carrying into execution that part of the
sentence which requires that Commodore
Wilkes shall be publicly -0 'reprimanded,
I hardly need say more to an officer
of his age and experience in the ser
vice than that the promulgation of such
charges, and of the decision upon them by a
court composed of officers of the highest rank
in the Navy, constitutes in itself a reprimand
sufficiently poignant and severe to anyone who
may have the desire to preserve untarnished
his record in the service.
The Department would gladly have been
spared the unpleasant duty which has de
volved upon it• in this case; but the appeal
made to the public by the accused in the
papers, which the Court has pronounced
to be "of an insubordinate and disrespect
ful chkracter, containing remarks and
statements not warranted by the facts,"
rendered it necessary for the Department either
to tolerate , the disrespect and submit to the
unfounded aspersions, or refer7the case to the
investigation aid decision of a Court-Martial.

-Secretary of the Navy.
,EUROPEAN NEWS.
lrwrther Details by the
Scotia.
Nsw Yonr, May 3.—The following addi
tional news cornea by the Scotia:
Madeira advices to April 10th say that the
Florida and U. S. ship St. Louis bad been
there together. The St. Louis was allowed 24
hours start of the Florida.
Garibaldi finally quitted London on the 22d,
proceedingto the residence of the Dowager
Duchess of Sutherland, near Maidenhead,
where he would remairrin retirement for a few
days, embarking for Caprera on the 25th.
The Prince of Wales went to London and
paid an hour's visit to Garibaldi.
The General breakfasted with a party o
Americans at the U. S. Consul's on the 2.2 d
He expressed himself warmly in favor of the
United States in the struggle with the slave
power, and would go there at once and tender
his services, if they were needed ; but he was
glad to learn that they were not. He remarked
that England and America, united - in senti
ment, could keep the peace of the world.
Mr. Gladstone, in Parliament, and / Lord
Shaftesbury in a etter to the Times, affirm that
the advice to Garibaldi to leave England was
simply on account of his health, and not on any
political ground.
The Daily News-asserts that the visit had
political motives, France proving a faithless
friend to Italy.
Garibaldi issued a farewell address to the
people of England and offers his heartfelt gra
titude. He says his principal object was to
thank England for her sympathy, and this is
accomplished. He regrets the necessity for
his departure and hopes to return again at no
distant time.
The Paris Temps thinks little of the resolu
tion of the Washington House of Representa
tives, relative to Mexico, at least during the
continuance of the civil war. _
The Danish news is confined to additional
details of the fall of Dybbiil. Nothing new
has transpired, and no movement of importance
since the King of Prussia visited the troops
engaged at D3bbol.
LONDON, April 24.—A telegram from Gib-
raltar on the 23d, says an Austrian squadron
of five ships had just sailed for the German
.ocean.!
