MOREAU, COMPANY F, 119 TIT . REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS. This is the brief record of the close of a brief life. A private soldier and a volunteer , in the American army, his life and his death' afford a beautiful illustration of the spirit i that animates the American soMier in:this: war, Joseph N. Moreau entered the army in obedience to a feeling of duty. He ac-, ccpted the war in its highest sense, and he gave ,his life as a. solemn sacrifice. It was; my fortune , to know him intimately, and I know how he felt in reference to the:eiuse j of the Republic. He was The Private 'Sol dier. When the war was precipitated by the fall of Fort Sumpter, lie at once joined 1 one of the many enthusiastic bodies of recruits, that assembled at the sound of the fife and drum to learn the rudiments of the soldier’s drill. He marched with the first of the three-months regiments, and served' under-, the command of. Colonel F. E. Patterson, during his brief campaign. In doing this he abandoned a position in the office of The Phess, where he was engaged as a compo sitor, and made many sacrifices. When ■"mustered out of the service he returned to his position; and continued until the failure of the Peninsular campaign,, and the ad vance upon the capital, again aroused the North. Mr. Moreau was among the-first to answer the President’s - call. In company with six others of his companions, who also’ held positions in the office, of The Puess, he volunteered as a private in the 110th Re giment Pennsylvania Volunteers, Col. P. C. Ellmaker commanding, and proceeded to the field, lie followed the fortunes of the war without receiving any injury, until the recent campaign against Chancellorville and Fredericksburg. The division to which he belonged was directed to, ad vance against the heights of St Maryc. The story of that magnificent exploit is one of the most brilliant -in tbe chroni cles of the war. It is related, however, that during--the attack it became necessary for our troops to advance upon a body of rebels, , who were stationed- in a woods, and the company to which,Private Moreau belonged found, itself in the advance. The rebels were securely posted; their fire was continu ous and annoying, and the commanding officer directed a charge. Those who saw Private Moreau during the time he had been in action, and' particularly during the awful moments in which they found themselves assailing a hidden and sheltered enemy, say that the enthusiasm and bravery he mani fested were almost sublime. His comrades . called it recklessness, and implored him not to tempt danger and death. The 1 order was given to charge the wood. There was a de gree of hesitation common to men about to do a daring deed. Private Moreau—impa tient, eager, animated—-rushed from the line to the head of the .company, evidently de siring,.. by word and .example, to lead them into the.deadly woods: His person at once became the; mark for: :a hundred rifles, and be fell pierced with.many balls. -Before a comrade could reach him he was dead. Tliis is tlie life of Joseph" N. Moreau, as .the soldier. He was horn in Montreal, February 15, 1835, and. went to Detroit in. 1854, where he made the acquaintance of Hon. John Ingersoll, subsequently wedding his daughter, who now survives l him: Mr.. Moreau accompanied Mr. Ingersoll to Ko chester, and became attached to. his news-, paper, iii various capacities, until-1857:, when became to Philadelphia;'.and accepted a : position on The Pp.kss. ’ On this hews ..paper he was known as one of its most effi cient and intelligent attaches. Although a printer,; and by the very necessity of his profession compelled to labor during the hours that men give to study .and rest, Mr. Moreau cultivated-Jus fine literary tastes,, and exhibited more than ordinary scholar ship.- The prevailing f trait in his- character' was enthusiasm, and in; every action of his life he seemed to anticipate the manner of -his death. It was , thus in his studiessand habits of though'.He. never , adopted an. idea without assuming its championship, and he was its/champion amid obloquy,,; persecution, poverty, and misfortune. In dependent and bold in iris thoughts, he adopted doctrines that were far from being general and popular, and demanded a free dom of sentiment : which : the world never looks upon; withfavor. He was a radical. On questions of religion, and po litics, and society, lie was often, extreme, al ways decided, frequently: impracticable and chimerical. I should hesitate to. speak of sincere and honest thought as a chimera, for it demands respect even where we neither endorse nor believe it; but there were many sentiments, of my friend-that must be thus described.- So ■thinking, and with the ear nestness of his nature, he took as a hero the late Thomas Paine. Mr. Paine was to him not so much the enemy of religion as the friend of freedom ; and while . not agreeing with his hero in matters of theology, he looked upon him as a man who had been in jured by posterity, and to whom the world owed recompense. This was the thought that controlled the life of Joseph N. Mo reau. This .earnest, hard-working printer surrendered-everything, his own comfort, his prospects of advancement, his health and - means; to dig from the grave, the name- of Paine, and show that ffis a thing of beauty and virtue, and not what the general opinion , of the world lias so long thought it to he.- ' He determined to write Paine’s Life" and be gan to collect the materials for it. Wherever any document paper, volume, - or reference,., could he found in relation to Paine; he cither, ' obtained or copied it. He.visited his home,: his various resorts during the Revolution, so far as it could be ascertained ; his tomb, : at Hew Rochetfe—studying, observing, in quiring, " and following every item of evi dence with earnest avidity. The article on Paine, in Appleton’s New Cyclopedia, was from his pen, and is said to he just and com prehensive. When he entered the army, . his idea ; was neither forgotten nor; post-; poned, and he continued to write the life of Paine while in camp. Shortly before the battle of CbaricellOTville, be sent to his home a portion of the . life, as far as completed; and obtained a number of' books that he might pursue the study of the German language. Think of the private soldier, in; the yeaw- turriult and. whirl of war, writing biography and studying a foreign tongue ! I have said that’Mr. Moreau was''a radi cal man ; but in nothing, was he more ex treme, earnest, 'and conscientious, than in . this war against rebellion. Although an "adopted citizen merely, he loved this Union, • : its;flag,-its laws, and its glory, with a fana tical love. To him, it was a war for liber ty ; and :I have no doubt, that.the agony : of the parting moment. was sweetened and sanctified by the thought.that lie had given ; all to ’liberty. .There, were few ■ men who' ..-■less-desh : e4'-:ffißit^-knfi}iti.pn:j';..-AJspl4ie&.'; war seemed to have no glory,- except in the glory of .the cause lie defended. When he entered the ..service- of the country; he had .friends who. endeavored to persuade him to accept' a commission, which they, wojjld willingly have obtained. This he ; demined ; ho professed himself incompetent" take any command, and said that, as-lie' only, entered the army to fight, he preferred the musket to tlie sword. And with his musket in his hand die died. There is so' much truth and beauty and courage in the life of this young man— this Private. Soldier —that I, as -one, one who knew him, have tjius tos Jhe story of his fieqth. He is tunoiig the heroes of this war; the humble heroes, whose praises the nation yet must. sing. He 1 carried his musket, fought his fight, loved his flag, believed in the Repub lic, and laid down his life. His history may never be recorded beyond this epheme ral newspaper sketch; and, like thousands of otljers who died ■as he died, and with the; same faith in their souls, his name may be soon forgotten; But let us iiot forget that men like him felt honored in being private soldiers '.of the. Republic.; and that those who died that it should live, believed in its purity and perpetuity, and. regarded liberty as worthy, of the .greatest sacrifice mail can give. J. R. Y. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

We, in the army, who, by right of interest, of experience, of positive know;- ledge,- should be beat -.acquainted with the'general ships of our leaders, to say the least, greatly surprised to see that' so ‘ much more tact and : skill are evinced hymen in_Gotham, innocent of gun powder, and so agreeably ignorant of the knapsack- ."We have long labored under the delusion thatf it Was one thing to lead a column of type, another to lead a column of men. It seeins that the delusion, was a wide-spread one until the breaking out of this war, when quill drivers, armed with Bohn’s translation of Gc- CoTnm&itcn'ics, began to criticise every mi litary operation, from the digging of a French to the siege of a city, Halleck'fl Jomini's Life of Napoleon was a godsend to the sciolistsj and chapter twenty second of that admirable work has furnished, mate -rialefor critiques on McDowell’s Bull Run,;McOiel ; lan’s Ohickahominy, Burnside’s Fredericksburg, and Hooker’s Seven Days! Why do theße country-sav ers ignore Polybius ? Why do they.fail to cite the Stratage mala Polyani in Bupport of their theories re lative to Charleston, Vicksburg, and Pensacola? Could they not draw some useful hints therefrom, .with v which to overwhelm Grant, Banks, Dupont, iranagut, and Porter? But, throwing,levity aside, can they not forbear wholesale abuse of our generals and our rulers, until this unhappy war shall have - Gnded ?; You at home, may look upon these assaults as you please; we, who take aotive part in the struggle fora nation’s life, deem them treasonable. To be sure, there is nothing in the Constitution which explicitly forbids the censuring of officers; but that document does declare in plainTanguage, that giving' aid and comfort to the enemy is treason, and shall be punished ae ; such. The weakening of an army’s con fidence in its commander is treason. Publiehingthe . fact, that the general public is dissatisfied with the conduct of-the war is giving comfort to the enemy. This is treason. It is treason to lay the slightest obstacle in the waj r of the Government in the proee „ cutionofUan enterprise whose object is the ultimate Balv;ation of the country, whose failure ia the coun try’s,-ruin. "This is a soldier’s opinion. It may not takertvith the big-wigs who - expound the Constitu tion ;.in cosy rooms, where no Bhrieking shell dis turbs ;the current of their, thoughts. Lawyers may not consider it logically deduced. Peace politicians may. hoot; at it; Peace preachers may consign it and its hoidersjto everlasting perdition.

Fortress Monroe, May 16, 0 o’clock P. M.— The Richmond -Enquirer of the 16th contains the follow ing editorial article: “There is evidently to be an active summer* cam-, paign. The plan of the enemy Beems to be to keep our attention constantly excited at every point at once, bo that no part of our whole wide frontier may be freed from the urgent immediate apprehension of an attack. Then they can strike where they •think our line is weakest or our defences least perfect, and, if re pulsed, can retire and direct a blow at some other quarter." In the meantime, they can bag much plun der and cause much sorrowAhd heartbreak to our people by expeditions through thinly-peopled re gions, destitute of troops, and also can force more and more of our people within their lines to take their hated oatli, for a quiet life, and to Bave their property from confiscation. “ Thus they can both demoralize and rob us with ,in our own border, preparing all the while Berious assaults, and delivering them just when they are ready and where they chooße. “ Itis hard to say at whatpoint they are most ac tive just now. If one looks southwestwai-d it would Beem that the State of Mississippi is the region of the most, extensive operations. Immense armies are gathering around Vicksburg, and while prepara tions are in progress for a new; assault upon that place, the back country is devastated and the people plundered by cavalry raidß. : “ But at the very same moment Charleston is kept on the qui i rive by energetic preparations for another attack by sea or land, or both at once. The object may be only to prevent General- Beauregard from sending away any of the troops which now defend Charleston; -' - - - “At the same instant, too, Burnside threatens East Tennessee, and Hooker, largely reinforced, is expected to cross the Rappahannock somewhere or other from Culpeper to Port Royal. “To keep some of our forces employed in the de fence of Richmond, reinforcements are sent to Fortress and lest any part of the country should have to .assist, the enemy’s gunboats are harassing North Carolina. “ In" the ßaleigh Progress of,the 13th inst, we read ‘gunboats continue to prowl up and down the Cro wan and Perquimans rivers. They steal negroes, silver-ware, jewelry, and everything they can lay ;hands oh, and have broken up a number of fisheries. They stole some four thousand dollars’ worth of jewelry from a man named Cook, breaking up his furniture, etc., and committed other depredations.’ “In one instance they entered a soldier’s house, broke the crockery, furniture, Ac, Five or six thou sand Yankees are reported to be in Plymouth, and several gunboats in the Sound. There is ho enemy at Edenton or Elizabeth city. . “They recently burnt a mill on the Chowan, the property of Mr. Haye, situated a mile below’Win ton. Some persons entertain the idea that the force at Plymouth meditate an expedition up the Roan oke. . “ The great number of the enemy’s forces and mul titudes of their shipping make it easy for them to carry on simultaneously all -these operations; and they do not care for delay, for it is our people who are suffering, not them. -The longer this style of warfare lastß, the greater will be the mass of plunder carried North. “ The more of our mills, machine shops, and rail roads they have destroyed, the more of our material resources they will have ruined and wasted, the bet ter chance theythink they will have for an irresisti ble advance at last. They are in no hurry. Last year,;indeed, there was urgent haste to get the rebellion crushed in thirty days or ninety. Now we hear much less of the vehement ,urgency, and the whole Yankee nation seems to have laid out its ac counts for war as the settled business of life rather than consent to peace and separation. .“They are perfectly willing to fight upon the pre sent system for twenty years or forty. They are wil ling during all that time to go on submitting to such defeats as they have sustained at Fredericksljurg and on the Rappahannock, because by these defeats they lose not a foot of ground. “They lose,nothing but men, and they are of less value to them than m To kill one thousand Southern, soldiers they would be willing at anytime to sacrifice five thousand Hessians to sustain a re pulse, which they would represent, however, as a mere retreat for strategic - reasons, and-rather honorable than otherwise j and they would regard the transaction as a paying one oh the whole. “ One thousand gallant Southern-lives lost to us are ill-balStaced by five thousand of their base hire lings. Jackson alone is a dearer loss to us than Hooker and his whole hundred and fifty thousand would be to them. And they speculate that it may be Lee’s tufmnext,. orXongstreet’e, and that at any rate they are killing us slowly off. “ And in the meantime they are stealing much and ruining more, and their wwinehand children are safe at home. Many of them dress betterthan ever be fore in the spoils of our homes, while Confederate women and children are routed - out of house and home and chased like wild beaßts. “In short, if we can endure this war for the next hall century, they cau and will wish u& joy of our victories and our glory. “"We urge nothing, suggest nothing, hint nothing. >Weonly state the facts. Such is the policy of the enemyj such is his calculation^and such is his inte rest and intent.” THE. WAR IN MISSISSIPPI. - Fortress Monroe, May lG;— The Richmond- En~ quireT) of yesterday, contains the following: The enemy, yesterday, advanced one thousand strong upon Raymond, where Gen, Bragg had 4,100 infantry, and a-few- cavalry. . Skirmishing commenced at nine o’clock in the forenoon. The enemy was continually till one o’clock- in the jafternoon, when we opened the battle heavily with musketry. o • Hearing that the enemy was heavily reinforced, and ready to engage, we retired through Raymond, making a stand at Mississippi Springs, where we have reinforcements. .

General Grant will probably -advance east, and not direct to Vickßburg. ' The enemy’s fleet above the city is increasing. REPORTS FROM BRAGG. Chattanooga, May 11.—All is quiet in front and there is no prospect of a battle. Andrew Johnson is as a major ge neral of the Yankee army, with authority to organ ize a force of 5,000 Tennesseans and 10,000 niggerß. Bob Johnson, son of Andy, has been prompted to a brigadier. : Ex-Governor Neil S.

All quiet. ~ STONEWALL JACKSON’?; DEATH. TFrom the Bicbmoud Enquirer, May. 13.] • General Jackson, having-gone some distance In front of the line of skirmishers on Saturday evening, was returning about eight olclock, attended by his stall' and part of his couriers. .The cavalcade was, • in.the darkness of the night, mistaken for a body of the enemy’s cavalry, and fired upon by a regimeht of his own corps. He was struck by three balls, one through the left arm, two inches below the shoulder joint, shattering the bone and severing the chief artery; another 'ball passed through the : same arm between the elbow and wrist, making its exit through the palm of the hand; a third bali entered the palm of the right hand about its middle, pasting through, and broke two .bones. He was wounded on the plank road, about fifty yards in advance of the enemy." He fell from his horse, and was caught by Captain Wormley, to whom he remarked. “ All my wounds are by my own men.” He had given orders to fireAt anything coming up the road before he.left the linej." The enemy’s skirmishers appeared ahead of him, and he turned'to ride back. Just then some one cried out; “ Cavalry, charge !” and immediately the regimentfirod. . , The. whole party broke forward to ride through our line to escape the lire. Captain Roswell was killed/ahd oarried through the line by liis horse, and fell among our own men. Col. Couchfield, chief of stafi*, was wounded by his side. Two couriers were killed. Major Pendleton and Lieuts. Blorrisou and Smith escaped uninjured. GenrJackson was imme diately placed on a litter, And started for the rear. The firing attracted the attention of the enemy, and; was resumed by both lines. One litter-bearer was shot down,.and the General fell from the shoulders of;the men, receiving a severe contusion, adding to r the injury of the arm, and injuring his side se verely. . The enemy’s fire of artillery on this point was ter rible. General Jackson was left for five minutes, until the fire slackened; then placed iu an ambu lance, and carried to the field hospital at Wilderness run. He lost a large amount of bloed, and at one time told Dr. McGuire he thought he was dying, and would have bled to death; but a torniquet wa& im mediately applied. For two hours he tvas nearly. pulseless from the shock. • As he was being-carried Jrom the field, frequent inquiries were made by the soldiers,; 11 Who have youtheret” He told : the doc tor, .“©o not tell the troops Xam r After the reaction,; a consultation was held be tween Drs. Black, Coleman, Walls, and, MoGiuire, and amputation was decided upon. He was asked: *‘lf we find amputation necessary; shall it be done at once?” “Yes, certainly, Dr. McGuire—do for me whatever you think is right.” The operation was performed while he was under the influence of chloroform, and was borne well. He slept onSrn day morning, was cheerful, and m,everyway was doing well. He sent for Mrs. Jackson, asked mi nutely-about the battle, spoke cheerfully of the re suit,' and said: If I had not been'woundod, or had an hour more of daylight. I would.- have cut off the cncxny from the road to the United States ford, and we would have had them entirely surrounded, and they would have been obliged to surrender or out .their way out.’ They had noother alternative. IVIy troops sometimes may fail in .driving the ene my from a position, but the enetay always fail to drive my men from a position. This was said smi lingly. ■ He complained this day-of the fall from the litter, although no contusion or abrasion was- apparent as the-reeult of the fall. He. did not complain of his wounds; never. Bpoke of them unless asked. On Sun day. evening.he slept well. On Monday he was car ried to Ohancellor’B hbus©, hear Guiney’s depot. He Was • cheerful • talkedaboutthe brave, gallant bearing of General Hhod.es, and said that hia major general’s commission ought to date from Saturday $ : the grand charge of his old Stonewall brigade, of which he had heard; asked after all his officers; during the day talked more than usual, and said: “Men who live through this war will be uioud to say, 1 1 was one of the Stonewall-brigade, 1 to their children. 11 He insisted that the term Stonewall be longed to them, and hot to him. ' During the ride to Guiney’a he complained greatly of heat, and, besides wet applications to his wounds, begged that a wet cloth be applied! to his stomach, which was done, greaily to his relief as he expressed it. He slept well jdn Monday night, and ate with relish the next morning. On Tuesday his wounds wore doing very well; He asked, “Can you tell me,'from the appearance of my wounds, how long I will’be keptfrom the field?” He was greatly satisfied when told they were.doing remarkably well. He did hot complain of any pain in Kts side, and wanted to see the members of hia staff, but-was advised hot. On ■Wednesday his wounds looked remarkably well. .He expected to go to Richmond this day.'but-was prevented, by rain. This night, while his surgeon (who had slept none fofthree nights) was asleep, he complained of nausea, arid ordered his boy, Jim, to place a'wet towel overplus atomaoh. This was done. Aboutdayiightthe surgeon was awakened by the toy-saying, “the s General is in great pain.” The., pain waß in the'right side, and due to incipient pneu monia, and some nervousness, which he himself at tributed from the litter, On Thursday Mrs. Jackson arrived, greatly-to his joy and satis faction, and faithfully nursed him to the end,. By Thursday eye Ding all pain had ocased. He Buf fered greatly from prostration.- On Friday he suti'eied f o pain, but prostration increased. < " ;OnSuhday it was apparent that * e v?as rapidly sinking,-Mrs. Jackson waa informed. THREE CENTS. of his condition. She then had free and full con verse with him, and told him he waa going to die. He eaid, “Very good; very good. It is all right." He had previously said : “I consider these wounds a blessing. .They were given me for some good and wise purpoße. I would not part with them if I could." He asked of Major Pendleton: "Who is preaching at headquarters to-day?” He sent mes sages to all the generals. He expressed a wish to be buried in Lexington, in the Valley of Virginia. Du ring delirium his mind reverted to the battle-field, - and he sent orders to General A. P. Hill to prepare for action, and to Major Hawks, his commissary, and to the surgeons. He frequently expressed to his aids his wish that Major General Ewell should be ordered to command his corps. His confidence In General. Ewell was very great, and the manner in which he spoke of him showed that he had duly con sidered the matter. THE FUNERAL OF JACKSON. [From the Richmond Enquirer, May 13. j The city, was again, on yesterday, the scene of anothertumultuous outburst of mourning, and the last offices of honor to the departed hero were per formed with fitting magnificence. In no public ceremony, not even the grand display which attend ed the inauguration of the monument to Washing ton some years ago, has Richmond been rendered more memorable than upon this occasion, when every branch of the Confederate and State Govern ments, with an army of bronzed and hardy, heroes, and the whole city pouring forth its living tribute, aged and young of both sexes, joined in the pageant, and gave it all the imposing grandeur which sym pathy; sorrow, love, and admiration united, could bestow. .. In accordance with arrangements made upon Mon day, the procession was formed upon Capitol Square at 10 o’clock, stretching along . Monument avenue from the Governor’s mansion out upon Grace street, and consisted of the following civil and military -bodies: Public guard, with Armory Band, followed by the 19th and 56th Virginia Infantry, Major Wren’s battalion of cavalry, and the Richmond Lafayette Ar tillery, all preceded by a full band. * Hearse drawn.by four white horses, appropriately caparisoned, the hearse draped and plumed, and the coffin wrapped and decorated with flowers. Palhbearers, consisting of the Staff of the lamented Hero, and several other officers of high rank, wearing the insignia of mourning. Carriages; containing—first, his Excellency the Presi dent, and the family of the.deceased, followed by personal friends and distinguished admirers; vaxiouß chiefß of Departments, State and Confederate, civil, military.and ju dicial ; the Mayor of the city and members of the Council. On either side, and in the rear, an immense throng of ladies and gentlemen, children, servants, and sol diers mingled ready to move along with the proces sion. The banners were draped with crape, and the swords of the military officials were draped at the ■ hilt. The artillery bore the sad insignia ; the arms of the infantry were reversed j the drumß were muf fled, and at the given hour a gun stationed beneath the monument boomed forth the signal for motion. General George W. Randolph, chief marshal of the ceremony, proceeded to the front, and the caval cade moved slowly out upon Governor street, through the Mansion gate. The bells of the city commenced tolling, and soon a melancholy dirge swelled forth in moving tones from the .leading corps of musicians. The proceßßion passed down Governor to Main street, turning up the latter, i and proceeding as far as Second ‘ street. The streets were crowded with people; Btores were closed. As the pageant moved along, and from many windows floated flags draped in mourn ing. The flags upon the public buildings re mained, as on Monday, at half-mast. The scene on Main street was beyond adequate description, so impressive, so beautiful, so full of stirring associa tions. blending with the martial dirges of the bands, the gleam of mußket, rifle, and sabre drawn, the sheen of black cannon, thousands of throbbing hearts, and the soul of sorrow that mantled over all. From Second street, through which the procession partly passed, it wheeled into Grace street, down which it returned to Capitol Square, entering by Monument gate.- At different stages of the obse quies, the cannon, which remained stationed at the foot of the monument, pealed outdn tones of thun der, which heightened the effect of the tolling bells, the solemn music, and the grand display. The hearse being drawn up infront of the Capitol, the coffin was removed to the Hall of the House of Representatives, where it was laid in state in front of the Speaker’s seat. Thousands crowded into the building, many bearing splendid bouquets with which to adorn the coffin, and at night hundreds' were turned away, after hours of fruitless effort, without seeing the face of the beloved departed war rior. The remains will be sent to Lexington this morning; All the courts in Richmond'passed reso lutions of respect to the memory of Jackson, and adjourned to attend the ceremonies, STATUE TO JACKSON.

Major Frank Lynch, on Major General’ Wheeler’s staff, under date of April 20th, writes to his wife, at Montgomery, Ala., that; -“The scouts last night,brought in reports that Rosecrahs waß getting ready to advance; If so, it 1b just what we want, and what we ha ve been pray ing for for a month past. We are all ready for him. * * *. I think we shall go into Ken tucky soon, if the enemy does-not make a forward move.” , . . ' An officer in Terry’s- regiment of Texan Rangers, in Wheeler’s-command, writing to his brother on the.Slst, speaks ol the proposed-raid into Kentucky as follows: . • - “ Beyond doubt we will have to go to Kentucky soon, or starve out ourselves and horses. Rumor has it that we start as soon as we can cross the Cun* b£rlamL Wheeler’s whole corps will go—the two divisions of Morgan and Wharton—five brigades in all. and three batteries of artillery.” - ; Another Texan Ranger, also in t Wheeler’s com mand; writes'that— : / “ Our cavalry will all go to Kentucky, I think, as soon aa.jhe river gets low enough to'cross. ; We all want to go there to rig ourselves-out. Everything is very scarce and higkbere—boots; s4s@7s pants; $4O; coatß (uniform), $450 ;• common horses, from S3COtO $500.” The following is the opinion of a woman who writes to her brother in Morgan’s cavalry: • “As to the war, there is no x>robability of its ceas ing.’ The Abolitionists are as anxious-for separa tion as the Secessionists, now that they are satisfied that they cannot abolish slavery, but the Democrats are determined to force the South-into : the Union.” , r , ' HUNTING CONSCRIPTS. A husband writes his wife that he is still' “hunt ing conscripts.” . In East Tennessee the rebels have a company of Cherokee Indians engaged in the same business; This fellow says: - ' ' :“ I esterday, I was out with four men. The first hiding place we found was in a small thicket be tween a wagon road and a creek. One of our party accidentally^stepped; into the top of the chimney. ;The den hadr been dug’ in the earth, a'little larger than a grave. It had a- snug little fireplace* a-nd plenty of straw, and a coffee-pot in it; It was* nicely covered with boards, with a snug trap? or fall-door to go in at, and the. whole covered- with leave* and trash so,as to make a natural-appearance; But Ihere was no person within. This was something new to us. We then proceeded to hunt further. On the opposite side of where the man. lived we found another den similar to the first by the side of a large log. We have reason to believe there are many such places in this country.; therefore the catching of conscripts has become quite a tedious business.” CIRCUMSTANCES OF VAN DORN’S DEATH. The Nashville Dispatch of Wednesday contains the ’ following account of the killing ol the rebel Van Dorn: /. The reported killing of Gen. Van Dorn by.'Dr. Peters has been confirmed. It occurred in his quar ters at . Spring Hill, on the morning of the 7ch inat. Dr, Peters has arrived in this city,, and from. Mm we learn that the cause of the difficulty, which resulted in the death of Van Dorm was an interview held Ihirly hours previous to the killing, in which the latter agreed, on his honor, to- give . Dr. Peters a written statement'the next day, setting forth four distinctr facts. Dr. Peterß said to Mm, that upon the fulfil]ment of thiß promiae, he w:ould spare his life to his wife and children,' although Van Dorn had - said he cared nothing for hi® own wife. ' The next day Dr. Peters was Bick, and did not eall on Van Dorn until the second day, Thursday morning, about eight, when he demanded of Van ; Dorn a compli ance with his promise, which he seemed not in clined to do. Dr. Peterß then said that he would - give him half an hour in : which to comply, and dis tinctly notified him that, in case of failure, - his life should be the forfeit. He then walked iip into the village. On hia return Van'Dom read to him what he bad written. The first clause fully complied with his promise jtlie second was an entire misrepresentation; and the other two acknowledg ments he refused to make. Dr. Peters then de nounced him for his bad faith, when; Van; Dorn cursed him for a u cowardly dog,” and ordered him to leave the room, or he would kick him out.

EARL RUSSELL TO LORD XAPIER. _ T T „ „ . Foreign Office, April 10,1363. Mr Lord: Her Majesty's Government think it incum bent upon them to. state once more to the Government of his Majesty th# Emperor of.Kusria the deep interest which, in common with the rest of Europe, they take in the welfare of the kingdom of Poland; i The general sympathy which is felt for the. Polish na tion might of itself justify her Majesty’s Government in making, in favor of the Polish race, an appeal to the generous and benevolent teelings of his Imperial Ma jesty, who has oj late, by various and important mea sures of improvement and-reform, manifested an en lightened desire to. promote the welfrre of all classes of his subjects. But with regard to the kingdom of Poland, her Majesty’s Government feel that the Government of Great Britain has a peculiar right-to make its 'opinions known to that of his Imperial Majesty, because Great Britain having, in.common with Austria, France, Prus sia,' Portugal, Spain, and Sweden, been a party to the treaty of Vienna of June, 1815, lur Majesty’s Government are entitled to interpose with regard to any matter winch may appear to them to constitute a, departure from the provisions and stipulations of that treaty. By the first article of that treaty the Grand Duchy of Warsaw was erected into a kingdom of Poland, to be in separably attached to the Empire of Russia under certain conditions specified iii that article; and her Majesty’s Government are concerned to have to say that, although, the union of the kingdom to the empire has been main tained. the conditions on which that union was distinct ly made'fo depend have not been fulfilled by the Russian Government. ‘ / The Emperor Alexander, in execution of - the engage ments contracted by the treaty of Vienna, established in the kingdom of Poland a national representation and national institutions corresponding with the stipulations of the treaty. It is not necessary for her Majesty’s Go vernment now to observe upon the manner in which those arrangements were practically administered from that time down to the revolt inl&Q. But upon the sup pression of that revolt by the success of the imperial, arms those arrangements were swept away, and a totally different order of things was by the imperial authority established. . Prince Gortcbakoff argues, as his predecessors in office have on former occasions argued, that the suppression, of that revolt cancelled all the engagements of Russia in the treaty of Vienna with regard to the kingdom .of Poland, and left the Emperor of RnAsia at full liberty to deal with the kingdom of Poland as with a conquered country, and to dispose of its people and institutions at hiswili. But her Majesty’s Government cannot acqui esce in a doctrine which they deem so contrarv to good faith, so-destractive of the obligation of treaties, and so fatal to all the international ties which bind together the community of .European States and Powers. If, indeed, the Emperor of Russia had held Poland as part of theoriginal dominions of his crown, or if he had acquired it by the unassisted success of his arms, and unsanctioned by the consent of. any other Power, he could have contended that might was equivalent to right, and, without listening to the dictates of generosiW ana justice, lie might have punished a temporary revolt of a portion of his Polish subjects by deprlviog the whole of them and tneir descendants forever of those privileges and institutions which his predecessor had deemed es sential to the welfare and prosperity of the Polish king dom. . ■. But the position of the Russian sovereign with regard to the kingdom of Poland was, entirely /different. He .held that kingdom by the solemn stipulation of a treaty made by him with Great Britain, Austria, Franca, Prus sia, Portugal, Spain and Sweden: and the Tevoltof the - Poles could not release him from the engagements so contracted, nor obliterate the signatures by which his Plenipotentiaries had concluded, and he himself had ratified,: those engagements. .' • • The question, then, having arisen whether the engage ments taken by Russia by the treaty of Vienna have been and are now faithfully earned into execution, her Majesty’s Government, with deep regret, feel bound to say that this question must be answered in the nega tive. With regard to the present revolt, her Majesty’s Go vernment forbear to dwell upon that long course of ac tion. civil, political, and military, carried on by the Rus sian Government within the kingdom of Poland, of which the Poles so loudly complain, and to which they refer as the causes which in their opi nion justified, their insurrection. Her Majesty’s go vernment would rather advert to the mnch-wished-ior termination of these lamentahletroubles. What may be the final issue of this contest it is not indeed, for her Majesty’s Government to fortell; but whe* ther the result shall be the more extended spread of the -insurrection, ; andits assumption of dimensions not at present contemplated, or whether, as is more likely, that Tesult shall be the ultimate success of the' imperial arms, it is clear and certain that neither result can be arrived at without a calamitous effusion of blood, a great sacrifice of human life, and an extensive devastation of property;'and it is evident that even if Poland shall be reduced to .subjection, the remembrance of the events of the struggle will long continue to make it the bitter ene my of Russia, and a source of weakness and of instead of being an element of security and of strength. Her. Majesty-s Government, therefore, most earnestly entreat ; the Government of Russia to give their most se rious attention to all the foregoing considerations; and her Majesty’s Government would beg, moreover,to sub mit to the Imperial Government that; besides the obliga tions of treaties, Russia, as a member of. the community of European States, has duties of comity towards other nations to fulfil. The condition of things which has nowlor a long course of time existed in Poland is a source of danger not to Russia alone, but also to the gene ral Teaceof Europe. " ' T Tfie disturbances which are perpetually breaking out among the Polish .subjects of his Imperial Majesty ne • ces'sarily.produce a’serious agitation of opinion - in other tending to'exeite much anxiety in the minds of their Governments, and which, might, un der possible circumstances: nroducecomplicationsof the most serious nature. - Her Majesty’s Government, therefore, fervently hope -that the Russian Government will so arrange these mat ters that peace may be restored to the Polish people, and may be established upon lasting foundations. Your lordship will read this despatch to Prince Gorts chakoff, and you will give him a copy of it. I am. &c. RUSSELL- EARL RUSSELL ARB ‘ BARON BBUNfjp'. A second English despateh of the same date contains the following important conversation between Earl Rus sell and Baron Brunow r Baron Brunow asked me some questions as to the na ture of the representations about to Be- made at St. Pe tersburg, and when I told him that the despatch of her Majesty’s Government was chiefly founded on Hie non observance of the stipulations of the- treaty of Vienna, he expressed some satisfaction that we still founded our .‘demands on the basis of that treaty. But there was one question he felt he was entitled to ask. aud that-was whether the communication lier Majesty’s Government were about to make'at St. Petersburg was of a pa cific nature. I replied that it was;but that as I did not wlshtomis lead him,'l must ,say something more. Her Majesty’s Government had no intentions that were otherwise than pacific, still less any concert with other. Powers for- fyny but pacific purposes. But the state of things might change. The present overtures of her Majesty’s Government might be rejected, as the representation of the 2d of March bad been reject ed’by the Imperial Government. ‘-The insurrections in Poland might continue, aud might assume larger pro portions; the atrocities on both sides might be aggra vated, and extended to a wider range of couutry. If, iu such a state-of affairs,, the Emperor of-Russia were to . takes no steps ofa conciliatory nature, dangers and com plications might arise not at present in contemplation. Baron Brunow.said he could not call our former de spatch an overture.---The intentions of the Emperor towards Poland were most kind and benevolent. But there were -projects afloat for altering the map of Eu rope. In these projects compensations toJßussia were in cluded. Russia entered into hone of these projects; she wanted no compensation; she held by the present terri torial arrangements of Europe, and he (Baron Brnnowl trusted Great Britain would do so likewise. I saidit was ’the 'wish lof her Majesty’s (.Government to do- so.'- But Russia herself had-in .somecases been active m proposing and carrying into .effect.territorial changes, - I trusted, howevi r, that in'tke present case the EmperoT of Russia, by granting : an amnesty .to those who would lay down their arms, and the benefits of free institutions to Poland, would put'an end to the insurrection. . ; .- r . ~. =. REPLY OP THE CZAR TO THE GREAT POWERS. The Paris Presse r of May 1, gives the' first interesting gleanings ofthe probable Russian answer: . Oh the 19th of April the - Imperial Council met. under -the presidency of the Czar.. .All present seemed to agree that although the steps taken by the Powers might not seem, .to exercise pressure,'inaszaueh as :the demands Were not specified, still they were so far worse*.'as they • strved as an encouragement to the revolution. • Con , sideling th e matter from this point, the communication aggravated the position without showing the way of solving the difficulty without" self-abasement. In stead of endeavoring t° "stop the effusion of blood aimed 1 at bv the. amnesty, the notes; are a manifes tation in the opposite direction —a calling to : the Poles - to. continue the struggle instead of influencing* the insurgents to. law down their arms previous •to an interference in their favor. In the latter case Rus ' sia might have gone onwaid with the concessions ;• now, such athing is impossible-without atotal abdication. The:last words are said to come fr&m Prince Gortcha koff.; .-Besides, continues the correspondent, from' a practical poiiit of .view,^that which the Powers- demand is not so easily inasmuch as.betweezt that which fhe-insurgents demand, and. the Government can concede, tliere is ; an impassableSabyss. An-independent army, and the re-iucorporation of. the quondam Polish provinces the Government would' never consent to, and -with- less the,Poles would not be.satisfied. What could then he the aim of' the notes ? ' What-practical clue can they offertothe solution? The'correspondent, though, admitting that these might not he;the last words, guaran tees the fact ’that this was the unanimous 'opinion'".of the Council up to the last date. THE CHANCES OP WAR. . : . [Prom the London Globe (semi-official organ) April 3XI No one can read through the Correspondence Re specting-the Insurrection m Poland.” just presented to- Parliament, -without feeling that for the last three months the peace of .Europe has been constantly in danger, and. no one can, pause upon the necessarily abrupt termi nation of the papers-without feeling that ~tbe: danger is not at an-end.-'At the same time, every true Englishman will be proud of the action of his bwii Government under these trying circumstances. From the first Earl Bussell took a just and statesmanlike view of the facts. It is no wonder he was not jnisledhy the pro-Russian reports of the British Consul General at Warsaw, whose discern ment was so ; sadly at fault, and from the first he found almost able and clear-sighted informant in Lord Na pier, who, while he gives praise to the Emperor that is ; justly , his, due, sees, distinctly.-,the actual character pi the revolt, and the atrocious'proceedings which^led to it.;,-;The of the and arbitrarymodeof obtaining recruits adopted by theßussianGovernment is avowed by Prince Gortschakoff to be that of sweeping the ground clear of person s hostile to Russian rale. Our own Government never lost sight of the real origin of tho re volt,never scrupled to say where the responsibility rested, andnever refrained on fit occasion from pointing out the consequences that might flow from it. As early as the 2d. of March lord Russell suggested to the Russian Govern-. , xnent the propriety o£ granting an immediate and uncon*- ditional amnesty,and asked whythe Emperor at.the samo time should not “announce his iutention to. replace,, without delay, his kngdom of Poland in possession, of the political and civil privileges which were'granted to it by the Emperor Alexander I, in execution of the .stipulation of the treaty of ISl5?’-’ And on ApiiL 10, in the note which was subsequently presented entire same day with the notes of Austria and France, it-will be seen that Lord 'Russell pointed out, with’ emphasis, the non-fulfilment of the stipulations of the Treaty of Vienna, and pressed upon Russia that of things which has'now for a long course of idmooxisted to. Poland i» a source ot danger not to Russia alone,but also to the general peace of Europe. ” He intimates the pos sibility of more tenons complications,, und inhiß conver sion with. Baron Brunow he is still jnore emphatic. In. answer to the Russian minister, Lo,fd Kasself said: that ‘ Her Majesty’s Government had 'ho intentions that were otherwise than pacific, still any concert -with, any other Powers for. any but pacjfic'purposes.. But ha says something; more—" tne.- state of things might change: ’ the present overthie might be rejected; the insurrection might assume ’/argetfproportions;” and,|‘ k if m such.a state of affairs. t\le Emperor of Russia were .to take no steps of a concili dtory nature, dangers and com , plications jnight aiisQ r A ot at present in: contemplation. ’* it was the duty of th / y British Government, which has no'ihterest in promoting any disturbance-.df the peace, to make the Bussifji Go vernmefitfeel.all the dangers of the situation. ; it is dear that the Russian-Govern ment did not cor f ec tiy appreciate the position in which it stood with regard toEnrope, and dia not anticipate that ; the be taken up so seriously by they Western -Rc/wera and Austria.
