The several divisions of the command were drawn up in columns of two on .high lcvel'grounds overlooking the sur rounding country for many miles. To the east, headquarters of the army was in full view, and dis tant camps of the Sixth corps mingled in the boun dary of the eastern horizon; southward; and across the Rappahannock, were seen the enemy’s camps covering the hills and Btretching along the valley, not only in sight, but within range of the rifled Par rotts of the enemy, though they did not care to try us atlongtaw. Westward, laythecity ofFredericks buig, dull even to deadness, on the bank of the river, and.northward, the. hills and valleys were spotted with the canvas-housea of many thouoftnde of'nooie ‘ warriors. Oh this plateau, thus surrounded, was drawn up for ; review the largest body of cavalry ever assembled on this continent. . .Hitherto the cavalry arm of the national service has been dribbled about among the several infantry corps, to be used for outpost duty, or for any pur pose that might suggest itself to the commanding officer. Small brigades were constituted into sepa rate commands for scouting purposes, but an orga nized cavalry corps was unknown to the service. The result was, that the arm became the butt of eve ry jeer,and the laughing-stock of the army. Neither horses nor men were earning their salt, and but for the few brilliant dashes of the lamented Bayard, Pleasonton, and Dahlgren, the country would never have supposed that cavalry wasa fighting element in war. Among the almost innumerable great, military acts of the present Commander-in- Ghief. of the Army of the Potomac, the proper and thorough organization of the cavalry is by no means the least considerable. In this very act General Hooker lias given evidence of the poßßession of two very essential qualifications for a great soldier, order and organization. • On the nth of MaTch that young com mander, Gen. AveriH, astonished the wholecountry by his-brilliant and successful expedition across Kelley’s Ford, in which he engaged an equal num ber of the enemy’s picked men, fought them for, five hours on their own ground, and in a succession of the most spirited charges made during the war, re pelled or forced the enemy on every charge, driviag him several miles, and into his infantry, fortifica tions i captured more of the enemy than the sum of his own losses, and placed over five times the number hors de combat; terrified the whole 65 Con federate States of-America,” and returned in. tri umph and unmolested to the north side of the .Rap pahannock. Then all.the people said, “The na tional cavalry knows how to fight.” In consideration of these things Gen. Hooker very properly first exhibited to the President this arm of the service, to the end that the great changes wrought in the command might be apparent to' the comman der* in-chief of all the army and navy forces of the United States. The depth of the interest felt in the corps may be inferred from the fact, that over three thousand officers were present at the President’s re view, including all the major and most of the briga dier generals of the army. ' At the appointed hour, Gen. Stonemaa having his command advantageously arranged, President Lin coln, accompanied by Gen., Hooker and staff, the commander and staff of each corps, and of each di vision, and of many of the brigades, rode on the field which now formed a scene presented less than once in a thousand , years. So large a body of ca valry, numbering many thousands, such an array of .military genius, comprising the commander-in-chief, the commanders of corps, of divisions, of brigades, -of regiments, and of companies, gathered around the Chief Magistrate of the nation, formed a combina tion the-world has rarely seen, peculiar to a repub lican form of government and to America. Stoneman met the president and escort, and iminediafely'tKe reyiew' lt-would give ■ your correspondent great pleasure to accompany the reader through the review, by giving the- name, number, and appearance of each command; but elo quence, praise, and detail must be content to be eclipsed by the umbra of a larger patriotism. From regiment to regiment, from brigade to brigade, and from division to division, the reviewing party rode rapidly along the lines; and, after the entire com . maud had been thus reviewed, the President took a position on conspicuous ground, and the . corps marched in review before him. Mrs. Lincoln had come on the field in a carriage, which now stood by the side of the President, where the review might be distinctly seen. Around the President and JYlra/ Lincoln there was collected a vast concourse of offi cers of all grades ; two Btars, one star, eagles, leaves,, bars, plain straps, braids, and men without insignia or rank, mingled harmoniously in the living mass.. Just opposite .the place thus occupied, on a com manding ri3e from which the entire scene could be viewed, waß Attorney General Bates, with a few friend?,, who,h&d no taste for the joßtle of so large a of men and horsee, . . \ % The President was.in a most happy mood, and had pleasant words and a familiar smile for all who saluted him. The harmony which so apparently prevailed throughout the day, and the evident good feeling among the general officers present, were especially marked. The display of the cavalry, and the appearance of the men, horses, arms, and artil lery, were matters in which General Stoneman and his officers had good reason to be complimented. The good order and thorough discipline that per vaded the corps were especially noted by every i military man present. Men thus orgauized v equipped, j and commanded, cannot fail to render efficient.ser -1 vice, and it is proper that the country should have ■/ due notice, that the cavalry corps attached to this i army is no loDger-an unorganized and undisciplined mass of soldiery, but an organized and powerful auxiliary, that in opportune occasions will hurl itself with terrible effect on the disorganised hosts of the enemy. When the entire corpß had passed in review, per forming, its complicated evolutions over the vast field with the utmost precision, keeping line well “ dressed,” the mea-withdrew, and the Presi dent and'officers present returned to Gen. Hooker’s headquarters, when many pleasant congratulations were interchanged. A bountiful collation had been provided not only at General Hooker’s board, but in several tents of the members of the staff, where all might partake. To the acting Assistant Adju tant General, Colonel Dickinson, was delegated the very pleasing duty of entertaining the ladies, quite .a number of whom were present. It does not ap pear whether by a ruse de guerre he wrb thus assign ed, but that the ceremonies were entered into toto corde y no one acquainted with the gallant Phila delphian will for a moment question. As night drew, near the guests gradually with drew, and returned to their respective commands, jeach feeling stronger in purpose, and more patriotic jin spirit, than when he set out.for the review in the jinorning.

I clip-the following from the Shelbyvilie Rebel 3anncr (travelling newspaper) as one of the most nteresting articles I have seen for a long time. I übmit it to the reader, and will then tell him soine hing about Shelbyvilie, which I have honored bany times, by informing you that it is the most loyal tily in Tennessee: j “ The pEori.E Around. —A great part of the people in mdavound Shelbyvilie got prematurely jubilant a short .:{imeaffo, in-expectation, or a grand irrigation of this region by 4 lager beer.’: It has so happened that as yet ! though Duck river has several times surged over its 'anks) none of us rebels have met a watery or any other .ind of a bier.

When our troops fell back to this place from Murfreesboro, our fitigned and hungry troops were* in many instances, pjit off from citizens* houses on the pretence that provi sions were out aud famine close at hand, and in many other instances they were fed, but at the most extrswa gint: prices, as high as fiye dollars being charged and piid for one scanty little meal; and ever since then these people have displayed, in their dealings with our army, tUe same irrepressible desire to get weight for weight of . Confederate money for their comestibles. “Recently, when the Van Dorn prisoners reached this place, and were put into the Courthouse Square, scenes followed which surprised even those who were previ ously Rware of the Lincolnite character of‘the neighbor hobd. Ladies as'sefnbled in wagons and other vehicles from the surrounding country, accompanied by creak ing baskets, emitting savory odors of all kinds. Tables wore' spread in the public squares, and the baskets and buckets disgorged their gustatory wealth. Roast turkey, chicken, pig,; biscuit, butter, pickles, preserves, cordials, pies, the whole catalogue of delicacies unknown to our army,, were spread out in the noonday sun, and greedily devoured by the blue-coated rabble that Van Dorn had taken; all under the manage ment of the Union-loving ladies, who lavished upon them—beside all possible evidences of their heartfelt sympathy and admiration—smiles,tears, God-blessings, kerchief-waving, and all that. It is not to he denied that most of the rebel spectators looked on perfectly aghast. ; The lamp of Aladdin never produced anything more startling than did this advent or the Van Dorn, pri soners in Shelbyvilie, State.of Tennessee. . " . .“It there was anything redeemable in this spectacle, it Wasthe delicacy of the male Unionists of the county, whose modesty; forbade their public participancy in the affair,- and whose gallantry prompted them to allow their Wives, daughters, and sisters to reap the whole honor of it, if honor they chose to deem it. But for those ladies, witha’l our gallantry, we cannot frame much excuse. It is tnie,.we would be the last to denouuco any -ebullition of womanly feeling, however unworthy or in.- famous might be. But they were guilty of the grossest bad taste in.thus flaunting in the face of the. Confederate public those hoarded treasures for which they were indebted solely tOithe Confederate occupation of their town and county. “It is odd, too, that there should be a Union commu nity so isolated as this. It is in tho very heart-of the most loyal Confederate section of Tennessee, and must remain, we suppose, one of tlio many unexplained won ders that have been brought to light by the present war. ” . It is not odd that there should be an isolated Union community like Shelbyvilie; and although it may be a wonder^in- one sense it is by. no means an unexplainable one. The fact is, the leading men of the place, Edmund Cooper, Henry Cooper, ‘and William H, Wifleher, went for the Union, unconditionally, first and 1 iat.

I staid in Shelbyville a week last summer, and know something about the place and the people.

Before the rebellion it carried on a’ ; flourishing business/ supported two newspapers,* five churches, and a number of free schoolß.

MISSISSIPPI - MARINE BRIGADE. Geii. RUet’s Last Exploit—Graphic Account of the Attempt to Run the Gauntlet at Vicksl>m*g vyitli the Rams Lancaster and Switzerland—lncidents of tl ic Affair, and tJic Design of tlic aiovement. Flag-ship Autocrat, below Young’s Ft., La,, Thuhsdat A. M., March 26. The Union rams Switzerland and Lancaster, ac cording to a preconcerted programme arranged be tween Captain Henry Walker, of the Lafayette, (the next in naval rank to Porter, and empowered to command in the absence of the Admiral,) and Genera! Alfred W. Ellet, of the Marine Brigade, made preparations forrunning theblockadeof Yicks bujg early yesterday morning. RUNNING THE BLOCKADE. Owing to the slowness of the Autocrat’s chrono meter, and the length of time required to get the boats ready, they did not leave their moorings until five o’clock, fully an hour later than they should have started? and thereby greatly increasingthe dan ger of the experiment. Col. Charles Rivers Ellct commanded the Swit zerland, and Lieut. Col. John A. Ellet the Lancas ter, and took with them as small crews, not over twenty on each vessel, as would enable them to pro perly manage the rams; thereby diminishing the probability* of serious losses. THE REBEL BATTERIES OPEN. The rams had reached the upper portion of the town, the Switzerland some two hundred yards in advance, before either. of them was struck. Shot and shell hit the boats again and again, but without hurting any one or injuring the vessels. When the gallant boats were opposite the town, the East was dappled with morn. The brave fellows saw it with forebodings, and the rebels hailed it with savage joy. The rams could now be descried out lined against the shore-and the greenness of the trees, ;and every few moments a hostile shot went crashing through some portion of the fearless ships. Still they moved boldly on, and their commanders believed they would achieve their mission when a tremendous mass of iron, probably from a ten or an eleven-inch gun in one of the upper batteries, struck the Lancaster astern, and passed through her entire length, cutting her almost in twain. THE; LANCASTER SINKING. The Lancaster had received her quietus. Lieut. Col. Ellet, seeing she was sinking, ordered the few wounded to he placed in the.small boats, which had been quickly lowered. Then the remainder of? the crew followed, and the Colonel tarried upon the vessel, discharging his revolver into the bales of cotton placed there for protection, that the boat might be consumed beyond all chance,'if she should fail to sink entirely. The precaution was useless, however, for the ram was steadily going down, and the water was ankle deep on the lower deck before the Colonel stepped in the yawl.-Hardly had he taken his seat, and ordered the men to “give way,” when the doomed Lancaster plunged forward, pitching her. blazing cotton bales into the river, and sank, the cabin and upper works floating off, in two hundred and fifty feet of water. . EXPLOSION OF THE SWITZERLAND, The Switzerland, which had been struck such a number of times without serious injury, received'a plunging shot through her hurricane roof, just be fore the sublimation of the catastrophe to the Lan caster, causing an explosion, and the rushing forth of an immense volume of steam, which, for some mo ments, shut her out from sight. : It was now broad day, and the rebels perceiving the explosion, sent up a fierce, wild shout, fiercer and wilder, than when they had seen the Lancaster go down in the surges of the Mississippi. How they screamed! GEN. ELLET’S COURAGE. Meanwhile Gen. Ellet had been watching the two rams with the most intense anxiety, and as soon as he observed that the Switzerland was powerless, through the explosion of her boilers, he went out to her in a yawl in the midst of a heary fire from the enemy’s batteries. The iron hail—the rebels were now fting grape and canister—and fragments of shell showered around him and his adjutant, and the crew of the Switzerland, whom Col. Ellet had ordered forward to avoid the steam, cried out to him to return: that he was needlessly exposing his life; that he could do no good. The General thought otherwise, and pulled steadily into the middle of the stream, and leaped aboard the disabled ram. PATRIOTIC DEVOTION. At this critical period, when the ram seemed lost, for she had-no motive power, and could not be directed, and was drifting with the current, Colonel Charles Rivers Ellet, who"" had not raised the na tional ensign, hurried below, and, bringing it in his hand, ran it up aloft, with the words: “If we are going to the bottom, let us go down with the Stars and Stripes over head! Let us die, if we must, my brave comrades, remembering last the glorious-old flag !” The early morning greeted the banner of the free. A FAMILY REUNION. Lieut. Col. Ellet, of the Lancaster, after landing his men on the Louisiana shore, selected two trusty oarsmen, negroes of determined courage, and bade them row.him to the Switzerland, reaolved to share the fate of his relatives, three of whom were on the disabled ~ram—Gen. Ellet, Col, Ellet, and Lieut. Edward C. Ellet, son of the General, who, though only a lad of seventeen, has been on all the perilous adventures for which the ram fleet haß become noted. . ; On the arrival of the lieutenant colonel, the boy lieutenant, cool as Monte Cristo, fired a twenty pound Parrott in honor, aB he said, of the reunion of the familyand in defiance of the rebels. The Switzerland had continued to drift rapidly down stream, and by this time, being almost out of danger, the Albatross was moving up from below, and soon towed the powerless ram ashore, as Faria gut, a deeply interested though distant spectator of the scene, had ordered. KILLED AND WOUNDED. Strange as it seems, the casualties on the rams were very few. Wm. McDonald, orderly sergeant of the Marine Brigade, and one of the very last to leave the Lancaster, was drowned. Thomas Kitson, pilot of the same vessel, had lus left leg shot off be low the knee, and three of the negro firemen, and En gineer : H. S. Brown, were scalded—the last-men tioned very slightly. • . Oil the Switzerland, three negroes were soalded— one ofthem dangerously; and Third Master Connor, slightly.*. FIGHT AT WARRENTON. After the disabled vessel hadbeen taken to a place of safety, Farragut engaged the batteries of War renton, and would have been assisted by a land force but for the accidents to the rams, which were to have been used as transports. The admiral Bilenced the batteries, but during the fight had three of his crew wounded. His purpose was to occupy the place, and destroy or render useless the guns, and he would have accomplished this had it not been for unfore seen contingencies.. MAXWELL, On the two rams there were sixteen or eighteen negroes, all fugitive slaves, and the four Ellets bear the fullest testimony to the bravery, fidelity, cool ness, and determination of the Bell-emancipated bondmen. Though never before: under fire, they did not hesitate at any time to obey orders prompt ly j were self-possessed and entirely courageous in. the greatest danger, and proved conclusively that they would make excellent soldiers. The committee from the New York Legislature, have just reported on this subject, and recommend an appropriation by the State of one million dollars, additional to that of Brooklyn and New York, The committee report: “ The defences complel ed. and in process of com pletion are on a most liberal and magnificent scale. Fort Richmond, located at the Narrows, on the easterly shore of Staten Island, with Battery Hud son to the south and Fort Tompkins on the bluff in the rear ; Fort Hamilton on Long Island shore op posite, with Fort Lafayette in front and a redoubt in the rear. When these works are fully armed, it is believed that these alone will so effectually sweep the channel with such weight of metal as will make all attempts at ingress by wooden vessels utterly impracticable. “At the lower entrance of the bay, the works at Sandy Hook are being hastened forward with all possible despatch. Indeed, the work-on fortifica tions is in advance of • armament, and such is the demand for warlike material, that the Government is unable to procure workmen and workshops to furnish such armament as is required. Still, much is being done. Several 15-inch guns have been re cently mounted, and a 20-inch gun, with capacity to throw a solid shot o4a thousand pounds weight, is on the way from the j?ittsburg foundry, and will be mounted at Fort Tompkins ,as soon as practicable. “The plan of defence, when:.comnleted,.it was be lieved, would -make the harbor of New York im pregnable. The works are of a character unsur passed in the world. With these works,gradually advancing, and no clouds of war mantling the hori2on, the city of-New York, and the whole State, has reposed in apparent security. Now, re cent improvements in the science of war indicate that means of defence, are necessary. The land fortifications, when completed, are, in the judgment of the committee, inadequate to de fend the harbor against iron-clad steamers, but, after full consultation with the engineer iu charge, the committee believe the harbor may be rendered impregnable by placing steamers of light draught and great speed at ready.command to co-operate with the lortificationß on shore.' These steamers should he ball-proof, and armed with submarine explosives, nu<l such other mcanß of attack and defence as is believed the inventive genius of our mechanics and naval engincers'can readily supply.” . • Arrival oi' tlic Star of the South.

Mutiny In a Massachusetts Regiment at Boston, April 9.—A spirit of insubordination Which recently prevailed among some of the soldiers of the 2d Massachusetts Cavalry, led to one of them, William Lynch, being placed in irons. His comrades: resisted this order, and. drawing their sabres, knocked down the sergeant who at tempted to put it into execution. The assistance of the police was called for, but the threatening demonstrations made by the soldiers deterred them from interfering. The colonel of the regiment (Col. Lowell) was sent for, and. after warning the men of the conse quences of their folly and the penalty of, disobe dience, he ordered Lynch to be taken from the ranks and placed in irons. ' Lynch objected to the irons being put on him, and his comrades rushed forward to his rescue, where upon Col. Lowell fired at them, killing the leading mutineer, Mr. Pendergrast. By this means the out break was promptly checked. The IT. S. Steamer Sumpter in, Distress.

I am hot-aware that any testimony spreadthe record of that court'establishes, or even -intimsteg, that such-was the fact! The aßaumofefon is-purelv gratuitous.- ■ In a conversation had with Colonel*Helfc- ia? the month of February, 1883? upon this sutrject,' he- said to me, “thatin bis ‘Review ’ it wasnct r iu.tends£:to convey the-idea that I' was absent fronts my-’ com mand, and that he could-not see how any one could draw that inference.” In that “ Review”' the meaning of his language ia-plain enough.. What the intention may have been ie-lelt to the imaginatioa of the readen He said further, that a. pamphlet form.of the ‘Review ’ waa soon to be published, and that he woiild attach a ‘nota’ T to it to away the impressioii- which I-had l conceived to-reflect upon myself.”* That pamphlet has-recentiy. been sown broadcast in the Army of the Potomac,and:l presume has-been as thickly sown in other armies of the-United States. It has a- note of explanation, but it is neither frank, .satisfactory; nor of the nature T-was led to believe would be made by-Colonel Holt: On the assurance thafr this explanation: would be made* I refrained at the time from: counteracting the im pressions conveyed in the language of the ‘“Re view.” Now I-wish to state Bimply:;- 1. That I was never absent from my command? & single hour on the 29th of August, 1862, nor upon any other day after my division joined the army, of General Pope. 2. That the joint bivouac of General Pope and myself, on the 29th August,,lS62; was near. Bethle hem Church, about the centre of the ground held by my troops, and therefore my proper place. 3. That my command did extenAfrom General Moirell’s forces to where General Porter was* and considerably beyond it. 4. In my evidence before the general court martial I stated that I was with GeneraE Porter when one order was received, but Ldid not say that it was the order of (“attack”) to. which the Judge Advocate .refers, nor did I know it was that order. : These assertions can be substantiated by officers of every grade in the service, and I submit them to the public with the single aim of placing myself above the innuendoes of -the Judge Advocate Gene ral ofthe army. GEORGE SYKES, Major General United Stateß Yols. 'General Sykes takes exception to the following clause in the review of Judge Advocate Holt: There is one fact—probably the most remarkable one disclosed by the record—which must have im pressed the court as going far to manifest the true spirit of the conduct of the accused on this occasion. The forces of General Morrell were in the front, and those of Gen. Sykes were immediately intheir rear, and supporting them. In the progress of any de termined movement, against the enemy, therefore, the command of General Sykes would be neces sarily involved, and the presence of that General would be required; yet General Sykeß states that he was with General Porter when the order from General Pope waß received, and when that to General Morrell was sent; that he remained with him all the evening and night, and that he never heard that an order to attack the enemy had beenre ceiyed from Gen. Pope, or had been forwarded to Gen. Moil ell. ."What conclusion is necessarily drawn from this? If the accused had Beriously.de termined that the order to Gen. Morrell should be executed, would he not have apprised Gen, Sykes of its character, and directed him to proceed at once to his command?* *Tbe troops of General Sykes extended along the road, from those of GeueraL Morrell, towards, and it may be» to where General Porter was. It is not, therefore, in tended to inthnatf that, in being with General Porter at the moment, he was out of place, bat to say that had it been Gen. Porters purpose that his order to General Morrell to engage the enemy should he vigorously carried out, he would, from General Sykes’ necessary relation to the movement, have advised him of it, and.hare directed him to go forward and prepare for performing his part in its execution. • The Woodlands Cemetery. To the Editor of The Press: Sir : There are yet several modes of obtaining redress open to those aggrieved by the intended desecration of Woodlands Cemetery, some of which, must, the writer believes, have effect. The Legislature is yet in session, for one thing, and if prompt steps are taken, the act passed authorizing the company to surround the cemetery with' a row of houses can be repealed. Not a day should be lost in trying this remedy. Next, the courtß offer a resource, if the firßt fails. A contract made with lotholders.for the possession of a cemetery in perpe tuity cannot be broken by building , shops or resi dences on portions - of the cemetery not sold for bunal lots. If the corporators doubt on this point, their doubts will, be compelled to give way when the trial comes. No case parallel to this has we dare say, ever gone before any court, for no case „of mere eagerness to get money has, until now, cut up a cemetery of this character, located at a distance from the densely-built-up city, and not intruded or by any municipal necessity whatever. And beyond these is another powerful agency, which will certainly be brought to bear to preserve the dead from desecration—public opinion. It will not do to persist in' a purpose which' revolts every mind at the first mention of it, and which no argu ment can paint in tolerable colors. The proposition is to sell the street front of this splendid cemetery, suchJt building lots, and to erect. from. a point very near the main entrance, a.f o w~orh.ousea half a mile long, whose back buildlngß shall consti tute the prospect and outward view of the cemetery hereafter. It is true that it is not proposed to build these houses.on. the lots ,now occupied for burial, since there is space enough between these lots ana the wall to put buildings a hundred and twenty feet deep. Why, the managers think, shall this valuable space go unsold since there is a chance to get house? built on it? The only reason is, that it has been sa credly dedicnted.to the purposes of a cemetery for ever, and those who, now violate this trust will be blighted .with pecuniary loss as well as by the public indignation, if they persist in their purpose. It will.not. pay, iB another reaaoffwhy it can be prevented,. No firmness is so; stern and 'unyielding sb that which, relates to the sanctity of'thei dead— no aversion so unconquerable and lastihg .as that inspired by the violation of sepulture. And this, we beg the managers to observe, belongs'as much to the lookers on as to.those already having loved ones buried where their watch; oyer them never ceases. This Woodlands Cemetery ia"ruined, as a property, the moment this ghoul-like building begins. Let those who expect money to be made'out of the busi ness carefully consider this point before they wreck their estate.. I am, truly, your obedient servant, L.B. A Card. To the Editor of. The Frees: Sir : In your paper of the 12th .of February last appeared an . official order of * Adjutant.
