THE GRAND CAMPAIGN.
This much is sure : the Army of the Po
tomac has met -ulth no disaster. All
rumors of defeat - are evidently false, and
the facts thus ,far "mown justify us in re
fusing any credence whatever to defeat
until it is positively proven, while we have
the right to receive even vague reports of
victory as probabilities. All that we know
is encouraging. It is little, it is true, but
everyjmrtiele of the news received is alto
gether in our favor.
Iris certain that General LEE, forced by
a flank movement to leave his entrench
ments, on Wednesday offered battle; that
lie fiercely attacked our army on Thursday
near the Chancellonville battle-ground, at- -
tempting to force the centre, under Generals
-WARREN- and lIANcOCK ;
_that he was first
repulsed, then driven back ; that the fight
of these two days ended in a Union Me
tory ; that the slaughter on each side was
immense ; and that the fighting was re
stoned with greater fury on Friday, with
results that are not yet fully known.
The accounts of Wednesday and Thurs- :
day may now be accepted as true, and they
give additional probability to the reports of
a grand - victory on Friday, ending in the
3 71, 4 4.4L1treat of LEE tolyjp;Sly , ....H3j i liraTfiet;
pursued by our entire army. Grant that it
is true, 01 it •is almost impossible that
lie shoulA reach that. city without fighting
another ( heavy battle. It is asserted
that t? enemy _his abandoned ten thou

Tepidly-stecce,cling battles, increasing in

dccisivestraggle of the war. It will not
do to think on the many, many brave

uolestly lost, no heart be broken vainly,

rational necessities
Wt may infer that General LEE, in these
:)att s, was forced to use his entire army,
Ann hat General -MEADE fought with a part
o r
of s force, holding back a heavy reserve,
--w eh he intended to bring into action on
ay - . This fset alone is of great im
po nee ; but there are others equally sig
i
ni cant. The attempt of the , enemy to
stake a decisive blow before General GRANT
I
wpuld be fully ready to attack is a con
frion of weakness. We are heartily
glad that LEE had not the time to
Veit, and attach special value to the fact
that the advance of General GRANT com
pelled hint to leave his chosen position.
. - Nottimg could more clearly demonstrate
• the strength of the combination upon which
General GRANT is working than this stra
tegic advantage, gained so speedily and
easily. It is evidence, also, of the supe
riority of our force ; and it is unnecessary
to disguise the fact that the largest element
of our strategy in this campaign is brute
force. For the first time in the war it
seems that our full strength is exerted.
Twice before the Government placed in Vir
ainia an army great enough to crush, by
.sheer weight, the ablest opposition of the
enemy. There was the strength, but it
was not used. Now there is no ques
tion, not only that every man we could
muster is in the field, that this co
lossal campaign is *organized on the
sound basis of superior power, but that
the last man, the ultimate power, will be
-exerted with the utmost energy. Victory,
in brief, is not merely to be deserved ; it is
to be conquered. This is the best strategy,
for it depends upon the herculean strength
and numerical superiority of the North.
Directed by a great General, it is impossi
ble that such a campaign should fail.
FrOm the Peninsula we have great news.
Petersburg deserted and burned by its de
fenders, upon. the advance of the Union
army, is, if not success, assurance of
success. It, too, is proof of the weak
ness of the enemy, and of the energy
which inspires all the parts of the
tremendous movement. It is simply
-stated that the enemy has abandoned Pe
tersburg ; whither REAVREGAUD has gone
must be conjectured ; but it is plain that
the inferior forces of the enemy compel the
attempt to concentrate them, in the face of
the enormous difficulties which our simul-
taneous movements create
We do not - wish to be premature in an
nouncing victory. The whole country has
learned, by terrible experience, the folly of:
those enthusiastic anticipations of - which a
day may prove the falsehood. Let us cele
brate our victories when - we have won
them. Yet, it seems to us that now the
fall of Richmond is inevitable—inevitable
the destruction of the rebellion in Virginia,
But if this seeming is deceptive, and we
.are again doomed to have our hopes raised
to the skies only to be dashed again to the
earth, we are ready to accept, without
doubting or despairing, even a positive de
feat. The rebels can inflict no evil which
we are unable to endure.
LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL?'
WASELN'GTON, May 8, 1864
I begin this letter on Sunday morning,
the first day of the week, which, must be
productive of some decisive results. The
agony and suspdhse of Thursday, Fri
day, and Saturday, who can describe ?
Ere I have passed through nearly
all the painful watching and waiting
periods that have punctuated the pro
gress and history of the war. Tile
anxious hour before Mr. Lincoln was in
augurated ; the doubt whether he would not
be assassinated on the way to the Capitol;
- the inauguration, with many traitors pre
sent eager to take his life ; the exciting
days between that ceremony and the fall
of Sumpter and the attack on the Massa
chusetts troops, (an interval when hun
dreds of placemen fled into the rebellion
rather than take the oath which faithful
-officers insisted they should swear) ; the
call for 75,000 troops; the call for an ex
tra session of Congress, and those incidents
-of that Congress with John C. Breckinrielge
.as the Democratic leader, before lie passed
into open treason for . the purpose of help
ing to put to death thOusands who had voted
for him in 1860 ; the first and the second
Bull Run, the two Fredericksburg disasters,
the Antietam drawn battle, and at last the
victory of Gettysburg and Vicksburg;—
t . hese, with lesser and intermediate conflicts,
,land and sea, extending over a space
of time of more than three years' duration,
and affecting a vast empire of land and
water,
.have excited varying emotions of
doubt, anxiety, despondency,- gratitude,
and joy. But none of these events was
watched and waited for with such solici
tude as _that terrible struggle beyond the
Rapidan, which began on Thursday last,
and, on this peaceful Sabbath, is still going
on, in one or in another way.
Two o'clock P. M.—Since the above
words have been written, I have visited the
War Department, and Obtained the first in
dication of the dreadful carnage of the last
seventy hours. Whatever details our re
porters and correspondents have gathered
will go forward by the evening train,
or by telegraph ; but until the ar
rival of the trains with the wounded to
morrow morning, full and satisfactory de
tails cannot be expected. Who have fallen,
who are seriously hurt, and who arc
very slightly injured, 'information impor
tant to to many households, cannot
be known until that time. As I write,
it makes my heart beat with gratitude
to God, to say that the belief in the tri
umph of our arms, among those in au
thority, is strong indeed. Before you get
this letter, however, you will know all, or
enough. If the result is, as I hope, a great
victory for our country, the rebellion will
fall like a palace built of ice suddenly sub
jected to the fierce heat of a tropical sun.
A WEEK AGO, as our readers must have
observed, we put TIIR Things into new
type. At the time we simply announced
the fact, but refer to it now, after the type
has got into good working order, so 'as,
with the aid of one of Hou's lightning
presses, to produce impressions equal to
fine book work, we feel that we may safely
name the firm which has produced it.
.Of
course we deal with a Philadelphian house,
viz.: Messrs. COLLINS & 31CLEESTER, of
the American Type Foundry,_.7l)s ;ramp.
Bei - enth ; and whether we con
sider the rapidity with which they executed
the order, the clearness and durability of
the type, the judicious manner in which
they select and supply " sorts," or the fair
price flhich they charge, we know that we
have every.cause to be satisfied with them.
Our readers, also, must participate in this
satisfaction, for surely it is pleasant to read
on of the kgst-printed journals in the
Union.
A NEW CO3IMANDER AT THIS GULP.—It Is re
ported that General E. R. S. Canby has been as
signed to the chief, or a very important command
in the military sphere of Louisiana and Arkansas.
It will be remembered that on the 21st of February,
1862, he commanded at the famous struggle of Val
verde, or Fort Craig, where he held his position
with the tenaciousness of a bulldog. He finally de
feated the traitor Sibley, and drove the rebel Texans
out of the department.

A 'Tribute to Speaker Colfax.
There was a large attendance of ladles and gentle
men at the residence of Speaker COLFAX last night,
it being the'occasion of the presentation of a costly
service of silver, as a testimonial for his unwavering
faithfulness to principle and to duty. Commissioner
of the Currency MoCur.rocu made an appropriate
and patriotic speech, which was responded to by the
honored recipient in a manner not less apposite and
impressive. He said he desired no other inscription
uponhis tomb than that he had always endeavored
to perform his duty. The company was bountifully
entertained after the interesting ceremonies were
concluded.
Nevi's from Atlanta, Ga.
Atlanta (Georgia) papers of the 29th ultimo have
been received here.
The Daily Intelliyencer says it was Decatur, in

Arrest of a Rebel Spy.
A rebel spy went to the Me i tropolitan Hotel last
night, and entered his name as WARREN. On dis
covering thnt he was under, suspicion, he left the

Recruits for New England Regiments.
Since permission was given to soldiers in the regu
lar service who re-enlist to select any State to which
they may choose to be credited as part of its quota,
and to receive its bounty, large numbers have been
secured by the agents of New England cities and
towns. Boston has thus obtained over one thousand
men. Large numbers of negroes have also been en
listed by the recruiting agents, some of whom have
pocketed the lion's share of the large local bounties
paid.

THE BATTLE; OF THURSDAY-BRILLIANT
NEW YORK, May. B.—The 25•ibune's totter from
the army,. dated Thursday night, says:
Early this morning the march was resumed in the
direction of Todd's tavern, which point was reached
before noon, and the troops placed in line of battle
at noon. Gen. Wilson, commanding Gen. Kilpat
rick's former cavalry division, made his where
abouts known by a brisk cannonading several miles
southwest of the tavern and in the vicinity of Shady
(3 rove Chul•ch, where for three-quarters of an hour he
was sharply winged. with
Of rebel ek.
valry and a considerable force of infantry, by whom
he was gra dimity forced back upon the 25 Corps. Had
not the IIIitinCUTTOEI or the enemy prerented, night
would have found Gen. Hancock's command at
Shady Grove Church, connecting with Gon. Warren
on his right. By this munmuvre we would have oc
cupied the pike running in a northwestern direction
from Germania - Ford on the Rapidan. The movo
ments of Lee soon revealed his real design.
• Gen. Warren was directed to attack him at once,
which ho did about E. A. M., and a determined
musketry fight of an hour and a half ensued, in
Which Warren handsomely drove him from his po
sition with the infliction of groat loss.
Gen. Griffin's division, of the sth Corps, led the
attack, and suffered severely, nearly 1,000 being
killed, wounded, and missing. Finding his effort to
break our centre futile, the onomy next attempted
to interpose an overwhelming force between War
ren and Hancock, the latter of whom, in accordance
with orders, was marching his corps rapidly to form
a junction with the former. Fortunately his ad
vance, consisting of Gen. Birney's division, came
up just in time to circumvent the rebel general,
who at P. M. commenced a terrific onslaught on
the divisions of Gens. Birney, Gibbons, and Getty,
the latter of whom had been temporarily detached
to form the extreme right of Hancock's command.
Tho fight raged hotly until some time after dark,
and resulted in the complete repulse of the enemy
at all points. Our loss in this engagement does not
probably exceed 1,000 men. Scarcely any artillery
was brought into requisition, the character of the
ground rendering it useless. The battle-field is co
vered with a thick growth of underbrush and medi
um-sized oak trees, and it is owing to that fact that
our losses are comparatively light. Our captures in
prisoners are about 000.
When General Hancock's corps retired towards
Parker's store, 300 of the 18th Pennsylvania Caval
ry, under Major Brinton, sent to relieve the pickets,
several miles below, on the Spottsylvania road, were
attacked by a large body of rebel troops, and driven
back to Todd's tavern, in confusion,,and quite a
large number were taken prisoners by the rebels.
A great and-perhaps decisive battle will be fought
to-morrow (Friday). All are enthusiastic over the
success of to-day, and speak confidently of the move
ment.
WA5.1..1 . 07f, May B.—The Republican l / 4 - extra
says Gen. Grant hurled his entiro army against the
rebels on Friday. Lee was driven three miles,
leaving 3,000 killed and 10,000 wounded in our
hands. Gen. Grant is master of the field. Lee is
in full retreat. Gen. Grant is in hot pursuit.
Everything is being done for the wounded that
lies in the power of our surgeons and Ambulance
Corps.
SUCCESS OF GEN• S➢IITH'S MOYEMENT
PETERSBURG ABANDONED BY THE RE

NEw'Yourc, May B.—The steamer Western Me
tropolis, from Fortress Monroe on the 9th, reports
that on the sth inst. the Ist and 2d Regiments cf co
lored cavalry, under Col. West, made a dash across
the Chickahominy river, and two companies, dis
mounted, charged into the camp of the 46th Virginia
Cavalry, killing thirty men, and capturing as many
horses. The horses were immediately mounted by
our troops, who pursued the rebels to within ten
miles of Richmond.
On the 6th instant, our forces who had landed at
City Point moved on Petersburg, when - the enemy
immediately set fire to the city and abandoned it.
On the morning of the same date, the. United
States gunboat Commodore Jones, while on picket,
duty on the James river, near Turkey Bend, was
blown up by a torpedo, one of the cigar-shaped in
ternals, and several of her officers and men killed

Baltimore—The Peabody Institute and
the Public Park.
[Special Correspondence of The Pros& ]
BALTIMORIC, May 6, 1864.
• '
Baltimore is SO fortunate, and has been so suc
cessful in her public school system, that the muni
ficent donation of siiioo,ooo, to found and maintain
the Peabody Institute for the advancement of sol
es:l'CE,, literat ure,and the fine arts,provides as a suit
able supplement to that system. I am not quite
sure whether, in ono respect, Baltimore has not the
advantage of Philadelphia In its education arrange
ments. There, about two-thirds of the pupils pay a
small sum for instruction—about $1 for twelve
weeks—and the remainder are admitted as free pu
pils, on proof of their parents' inability to pay even
the small sum in question. Bore, every ono, no
matter how wealthy the parents, can have gratui
tous education, which, perhaps, would be more high
ly prized if it were not gratuitous, for we value what
we pay for snore than what is got for nothing.
The Institute, founded by Mr. George Peabody,
of London, has been erected in one of the best parts
of Baltimore—in the square containing the Wagit
ington Monument—and aside much to the architec
tural beauty of that part of the city. I believe that,
thus far, the library is all that yet approaches
Completeness, and, at present, oven that is not fully
established. Scarcely seven years have elapsed
since Mr. Peabody announced his purposed gift to
Baltimore, and the first stone of the building was
laid in 1818, In the wing which I visited are the
lecture-room and the library. The latter (barring
the disadvantage of being far up stairs, which is
trying to all who, like Hamlet, aro " fat and scant
of breath"), is well suited for its destined purpose,
and, after the ascent is completed, the view from
the windows of the ante-chamber (the book-room it
self is lighted from the top) will amply compensate
for the labor. 'PO librariap the Rev. Dr. Morris,
Itild not see, and I was introdas;,al tO the
books by his assistant, Mr. P. It. Uhler, a gentle
man who seems well acquainted with them.
The library is so lilted up, with double tier of gal
lery, that it will contain a far greater number of
volumes than one would imagine on the first glance.
Dr. Morris is collecting and arranging the books on
the plainest and most practical system, and, even
with the comparatively few volumes already in
stock, (a few thousands, which geom still fewer in
such an extended area,) the value of 1113 arrange
ment is evident. Of very old books there are few.
The oldest that I saw was a Latin Bible, printed in
1501. In fact, the Baltimore system is to build up a
large colleetion of useful books, on all subjects, pre
ferring the best editions, but not paying largely fon
an editio princeps, simply because it happens to
have been printed within fifty years of the
first appearance of a book in typo, by the joint
effort of John Gutenberg, John Faust, and
Peter Sebtlfer. Tho error at the Astor Libra
ry, at New York, has been to pay largely for curi
ous old books, which are rarely opened, except to
elicit wonder at their antiquity. In' the fulness of
time, no doubt, the library of tho Peabody Institute
will have as many books of this description as are.
good for it,l's there is a tendency in men's minds to
present or bequeath such things to public collec
tions. Our own Philadelphia Library, which may
be said to be hidden, if not lost, in a building badly
adapted for its valuable contents, contains a great
many early printed volumes, as well as seine illu
minated manuscripts, laboriously produced long be
foro printing was discovered.
The Peabody Collection is arranged under the
following heads: Theology, Government, Politics,
Diplomacy, Jurisprudence, Political Economy,
Commerce, Education, Mental and Moral Philoso
phy, General History, Chronology, North Ameri
ca, Heraldry, Chivalry, Orders, as appendiees to
History, Physical Science, Biological Science, Ma

-
There are here many of the Classics, in the old
folio form, printed at the famed Clarendon Press at
Oxford ; coniplete sets of valuable English periodi
cals, including the Gentleman's Magazine from its
commencement in 1731, and sets, also, of the publi
cations of the Percy, Camden, Shakspeare, andother
English societies. In a few years, no doubt, this
Library will be very complete and useful.
No Baltimorean would ever forgive me, I am
sure, if, writing about his city—one of the cleanest
and best paved I ever set foot in—l passed on With
out special mention of Republic parks. They con
sist of Druid Hill and Patterson's Parks, which, as
Paddy would say, "are contagious to each other,”
So as actually to form one. Druid Hill Park was
the earliest purchase. The name may arise from a
mound or hummock, near tho Mansion, beneath
which, if there were Druids among the aborigines,
one of them might have been interred! This Park
was opened to the public, (or "inaugurated," as
the cant is) in October, 1860, on which oc
casion Mr. Thomas Swann, the Mayor of Bal
timore:and now chairman of the Public Park Com
missioners, delivered an address to the multitude,
who celebrated the event by making a holiday, in
which, while fie spoke eloquently of the past and of
the prospects of the Monumental City, he particu
larly became the historian of the ground on which
his numerous auditors stood. He said: "Druid
Hill is one of the most ancient estates in - Maryland,
having been settled at a very early period of our
colonial history. The original patent bears date in
1688. Its name, Druid,' I have been informed by
a descendant of the last proprietor, was suggested
by the large number of oaks which everywhere
abound. Some of these, associated with certain
marked localities of the estate, bear the evidence
of great age, and have been appropriately
named. The great Tent Oak,' near Ediallnd'S
Well,' is a white oak, measurir , fifteen feet
in circumference, at seven feet from its base,
and its lateral branches rest upon the ground.
Another huge white oak, The Sentinel,' grow
ing on the Terrapin's Back,' a Curiously shaped
hill, ,is another remarkable tree; while the
King of the Forest,' a rock chestnut oak, stands
on the hightest pinnacle of land on the top of Su
gar-Loaf and commands a view of the entire
property and the adjacent country and bay for miles
around. In 1709 this estate passed into the hands of
Nicholas Rogers,- whose' grandson, of the same
name, a soldier of the Revolution, and aid-de-camp
to Baron Do Kalb, attained considerable eminence
as an architect, and left monuments of his taste, as
well in the city, as In the grouping of the .beautiful
trees around you. The square-rigged vessel repre
sented in the view of Baltimore in 1752, and conk
prising at that time nearly her whole commercial
marine, was the property of the elder Nicholas
Rogers. From its original settlement down to its
transfer to the city of Baltimore, it has remained
unchanged in its general outlines."
Baltimore, excited by the example of New York,
wished for a public park, but lacked the funds
with which to purchase it. Mr. Swann made, and
succeeded its earrying, a proposition that the street
passenger railway companies should pay a tax of
one cent out of every five-cents fare, which money
should supply the necessary means for purchasing
a public park, In the first year this bonus realized
$33,000. In the year 1863 it produced $53,032. Re
cently the State Legislature has authorized the
raising of the fare from five to six cents. Here, in
Philadelphia, we allow the ears to run over nearly
every street in the city on the payment of an ordinary
license for each car, the railway companies pro
mising to keep the streets which 'they use in good
repair—a promise which, we need not say, they do
not perform. Had we acted as wisely as the Balti
moreans, what a perfect bijou would not our Fair
mount Park have been by this Um.'
The amount paid for DruidHillPark was 5511,692,
to which must be added costs since that time to the
end of last year, making a total of $644,841. The
purchase money of Patterson Park was $42,642,
which amounted, with expenses of improvement, to
455,540 by the close 0f1863 4 The whole first cost, there
fore, is 070,541. One-fourth of the purchase money
was paid in cash—advanced by seven gentlemen of
the city. Interest is paid on the bonds given by the
city, the, passenger railway tax loot only doing
this, but also putting an annual amount into a
sinking fund for the ultimate redemption of the
bonds, as well as providing ample means for im
proymg the land and its appurtenances, so as to
wake it as ornamental and useful as possible. To
aid this, the city appropriated, in 1863, the Thum of
$150,000 for Druid Hill and $20,000 for Patterson's
Park. Of the revenue from the railway tax, seven
eighths go to Druid's Hill and one-eighth to Patter
son's Park. The old Mansion House has been con
verted into a pavilion, for the reception and shelter
of visitors at the Park, and for the accommodation
Of vendors of refreshments. A large lake, for boats
and also for skating, Is under way, and other
lakes are in progress—one of them with an area of
65 acres and a capacity for holding 650,000,000 gal
lons of water. A noble promenade and a handsome
pavilion add to the beauty and utility of the Park,
which is wooded with noble forest trees, and the
drives for carriages, rides for equestrians, and
walks for pedestrians, will be extended, all over
the Park, to an aggregate length of between
twenty-five and thirty miles. These roads are made
of a feldspar rock, found in the park, which snakes
the finest macadamized paths in the world. Druid
Hill Park had numerous natural advantages, but
Patterson's Park had little, except the splendid
view it commands of the harbor and bay. However,
landscape gardening is improving it rapidly. The
good feeling of the public has rendered the employ
ment of the police almost needless in the Baltimore
Parks. Every citizen feels a right of property in
them, and carefully zuards their contents from
injury anil depredation. The Parks consist of about
600 acres, (Patterson's contains not more than tett, I
believe,) which is larger than any single park in
London, but 250 acres smaller than the Central
Park of New York. In this item of extent it is alone
inferior to the Central Park. In its shape, surround
ings, quality of soil, and, above all, in the splendid
view it commands, It has the superiority. The facility
of access to this Park is a groat advantage. It is
approached by a noble road (the Northern Boundary
avenue and Madison street), and a railway, nearly
complete, will convey passengers eloae up to the
principal entrance. It also is very central, and
quite rural, though almost in the city.
I compared it with our own little Fairmount Park,
really a very beautiful spot, well situated, which a
moderate-outlay could extend and improve, and la
mented that we allow other cities to get ahead of us.
Here must end this desultory sketch of a visitor's
observations in and impressions of Baltimore. The
street-pavement, let me add, is composed of hard
fiat instead of, as here am! in New York, of round
cobble-stones, and carriage-driving is therefore far
less shaking than with us. I observed considerable
building in the suburbs, and in the city proper no
ticed that the great station of the ;Baltimore sand
Ohio Railroad Company is being completed, by ex
tension, so as to carry out the original plan. One
wing, indeed, is nearly finished. laid the whole will
add to the architectural beauty of Baltimore. .

WAsantaTON - , May 9.
The Chronicle of yesterday, in a review of
the situation, speaking of information re
ceived from the highest authority, prints
this interesting and important statement :
Up to 1 o'clock this (Sunday) morning,
no reports had been received at the War
Department, from the. Army of the Poto
mac, of operations later than Thursday
night. General Burnside had at that time
formed a junction, by a forced march from
Manassas, with General Meade's army. On
Thursday, vigorous efforts were made by
the rebels to break General Meade's line
and separate his corps. For that pur
pose the rebel •• forces were massed, and,
under the command of General Long
street, endeavored to penetrate between
the centre, held by General Warren, at the
Wilderness, and the right wing, com
manded by Sedgwiek, and resting on Ger
manna Ford. Failing in this, Hlill's 'corps,'
under command of General A. P. Hill, the
strongest in the rebel army,- was further
strengthened by a portion of Ewell's corps,
and tried to break through between Witic
ren's centre and our left wing, commanded
by General Hancock, • but this effort also
proved abortive. The New York Cavalry
were pushed forward toward Orange Court
House, but were forced back with conside
rable loss. On Thursday night the position
of the Army of the Potomac remained as it
had been during the day—Warren in the
centre, at the " Wilderness : ;" Hancock at
Chaneellorsville, on the left ; and Sedg
wick on the right, extending to Germanna
Ford. In these operations not more than
one-half of Gen. Meade's army were en
gaged, but the loss is reported to have
been severe. Among the casualties, the
country will regret the death of Brigadier
General Alexander Hays, of Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania. This gallant officer had
served during the whole Wdf. He held the
position which bore the 'brunt of General
A. P. Hill's attack, and fell at the head of
his command, just at the moment that sup
port had been ordered forward to assist
him. Several other officers were wounded
- with more or less severity, but the details
have _ not been. received. At the hour of
going to press, reports of the operations of
Friday and Saturday are hourly expected
at the War Department.
A despatch from General Butler, received
Saturday evening, at the War Department,
states that the movement from Fortress
Monro 6 had thus far successfully accom
plished everything that had been ex
pected.
OESERAL SHERMAN'S COMMAND.
Nothing had been heard from General
Sherman at the
.War Department later than
Thursday. At that time the army under
General Thomas had advanced from Chat
tanooga. The centre was at Ringgold, the
left wing at Catoosa Springs, the right
wing at Kidd's tanyard. It was expected
that a battle would be fought on Saturday
at Tunnel Hill.
GENERAL STEELE'S COMMAND.
The War Department has received no
official notice of ' General Steele having
fallen back to Little Rock, but it
is believed, from information derived from
other sources, that he has clone so. The
disaster of General Banks and the fall of
Red river render movements in advance
impossible, and the difficulty of obtaining
supplies rendered a retrograde movement
expedient.
GENERAL BANKS' COMMAND.
At the latest dates General Banks was at
Alexandria, and no intimation has been
given that he designed to leave that posi
tion. Positive orders from General Grant
required General Banks to afford protection
to the gunboats in the Red river.
GENERAL SIGEL.
General Sigel, with his force, occupies
the Shenandoah Valley, and is in position
to threaten the enemy from that quarter
and co-operate with General Grant, as cir
cumstances may 'require.
TINE WOUNDED ON THE FIELD.
This morning at eight o'clock inteeli
gence was received ;that over twenty-five
hundred wounded were still upon the field,
supposed to be thoSe of the enemy. This
was the only official information received
at the War Department, and it was re
garded as a cheering indication, showing
that our troops still held the field. Under
the skilful and prompt management of
Colonel Elias M. Greene,who acted by
the immediate orders of Quartermaster Ge
neral Meigs, immense trains were at once
forwarded, containing accommodations and
comforts for' the wounded of both armies.
The preparations for the reception of the
wounded of this battle are magnificent and
thorough. There are eighteen thousand
beds awaiting Occupants, in the most
cleanly and elegant hospitals of the world,
together with an abundance of hospital
stores. 'This exhibits a wise care and fore
thought on the part of the Government,
and is a high tribute to _the - Secretary of
War and the chiefs of his various depart
ments.
SERGE.ONS NEEDED.
There is a great immediate need of sur
geons„ AssiStant Burgeon General Barnes
telegraphed at once, on hearing of the
battle; to the lifferent cities of the North
for medical and surgical aid. Extra trains,
containing these gentlemen, were expected
to arrive during the night. The wounded
will conic in at the foot of Tenth street and
Maryland avenue.
GOVERNOR CIURTIN.
'Governor Curtin 'reached Baltimore this
afternoon. He is expected in town this
evening, to meet the wounded of our regi
menth who are expected to arrive at Mary
land-avenue depot to-morrow morning.
The remains of the gallant General Alex 7
ander-Hasa are expected-to arrive in the
first train.
THE RAILROAD INTACT.
The railroad from here to Rappahan
nock Station is uninjured. :Not a rail•is
removed, nor a telegraph Role taken-down:
While we have no news direct from Grant, it
is known that he holds his ground, and has
forwarded his wounded to Rappahannock
Station. These are the first fruits of a vic
tory. All the indications show that the rebel
army is in lull retreat.
GARTnALDI ON OUR WAR.—An English corres
pondent says that Garibaldi, in a very straight-for

lowing morning, when he hoped to moot all who
would do him the honor of calling on him. Mr.
Morse, of .course, was delighted with the privilege
thus afforded him. In the course of the conversa
tion that ensued, the correspondent says :
"Garibaldi spoke in the most enthusiastic terms
of General Grant. Ho said that ho was a brave and
efficient officer, and commented particularly on his
Western campaign, saying that it was the most
masterly millfary feat that it had been his province
over to have heard of. He spoke of him as being
the 'right man in the right place,' and that he,
above all others, was the man to command the
American armies.
"I may mention another item which was part of
General Garibaldi's conversation. In speaking of
having been in London, some years ago, before he
had become so universally known, he said when
hero ho dined with the notorious George N. San
ders, thon United States consul hero. since that
time Sanders has written to him, asking him to go
over and take up the cause of the South, 'which
proposition,' said ho, 'I scornfully rejected. I did
not even answer Sanders' communication.' "
CURIOUS INCIDENT INA UNITED STATES COURT.
—On yesterday, in the Federal Court, at Nashville,
an attorney read a declaration wherein certain par
ties, citizens (as the declaration alleged) of the State
of 'West Virginia, sued certain parties, citizens ;of
Tennessee, when Judge Oatron requested the attor

IYFRIAORY OF FORT P: m.ow—A MAN HAIMED.—
A cotton speculator named B. W. Wooster was
hanged by our colored troops at Haines' Bluf, Mis
sissippi, on the 24th ult, under circumstances which
arc thus officially reported. by the officers of the 3d
United States Colored Cavalry Regiment :
"Mr. B. w. Wooster made the statement to Maj.
r. B. Cook, 3d United States Cavalry (colored),
that ho (B. W. Wooster) considered that the rebel
General Vorrest was perfectly justified in massacre
ing the brave colored garrison at Fort Pillow, Ten
nessee, on his capture of that place. Ile (B. W.
Wooster) made the statements to colored soldiers of
3d United Status Cavairr(colorea), that the rebels
were right in killing them when captured, alluding
to Fort Pillow, Tennessee, and the murder of men
belonging to the regiment at Boache's plantation,
Mississippi.
"Said B. W. Wooster drew his knife on a Colored
soldier, Amos Hurd, Company IC, 3d United States
Cavalry,(eolored,) while said soldier was on guard
duty, and threatened to cut his throat.
-
"The said B. W. Wooster was, at the time, en
gaged in purchasing .
, Cotton and other speculations,
under the protection - of a brigade of colored sol
diers, while in an enemy's country, on an expedi
tion towards Yasoe City, Mississippi.
"He was arrested by order of Colonel E. D. Os
bard, commanding the regiment. During the ab
sence of Colonel Osband at brigade headquarters,
the undersigned officers of the regiment met, and,
having dispassionately heard the testimony in the
case, decided that he should be hung, and did hang
him."
SINOULAR APPOINTMENT OP A CADET TO WEST
Ponvr.—Hon. Henry L. Dawes, of North Adams,
Member of Congress from the Tenth Massachusetts
district, having - had bad luck with two or three of
his appointments to West Point cadetships, re
solved to disregard the pressure of high recom
mendations, and take the matter securing a suitable
candidate into his own hands. He accordingly
sought out a poor Irish boy . in Cheshire, whom ho
had heard of as haying attained extraordinary pro
ficiency in his studies in the school of that town.
Findin&him at work in a potato field with his
father, lie besought the parent to allow his son to
go to West Point, and, the father yielding*, Mr.
Dawes now has the satisfaction of hearing that the
young son of Erin stands fifth of his class in mathe
matics and ninth in languages.
The friends of General McClellan have started
dollar subscriptions to enable them to buy a sword
to present to him, in lieu of the one he was expected
to receive from the visitors at the .Sanitary Fair.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE HONEY MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA., May 7, 1864.
The various exciting rumors from the seat of war in
Virginia brought everything on Third street up to fever
heat to-day. Gold was the only pale-visaged thing seen;
o p en i n g at 173;4, it fell oir to 17035, rose to /723, and
finally settled at 171,with considerable movement. The
money market is well supplied, and rates are moderate.
Governments are very firm.
The stock market labors under a doubtful state of ex.
pectancy. -Opinions differ widely as to the effect of
the coming conflict, no one opinion agreeing with an
other. The tendency would seem to point to a general
recovery of prices, whether General Grant is successful
or not. Business was very dull, and the Board held
but one session,
the public feeling being so excited that
any more was deemed unpatriotic. Towards the close
of business prices were slightly better than at the
opening.

The N. Y. Evening Post of Saturday says!
Gold opened at 170, and gradually tell to 171, closing
al lVilecline is attributed in part to the news from
the army, but chiefly to the evident determinatitin of
Congress to adopt the popular and necessary policy of
contracting the currency. -
The measures which sir. Chase intends to adopt,with
a view to lusen the depreciation of the currency, have
not been officially published. It is rumored, however,
that he intends to issue no more five-per-cent. legal
tenders, and that those which are in circulation will be,
as soon as possible, called in and cancelled. The 111014
eminent financial authorities are in favor of the issue of
seVen•per•cont. treasury notes in place of these live-
per-centlegal tenders:, or these five-per-cents., it is
argued, could be converted into seven-per-cents. by
being officially stamped at the Sub-Treasury.
Such notes, if authorized, could be emitted at par in
amounts sufficient to supply the urgent wants of the
Treasury, and they would not inflate the eurkency,laas
leech es they must he hold its investinouts, and would
not be made legal-tender for debts. It has, however,
been pointed out that whatever measures are decided
on there is need of their immediate adoption, for the
notes of the now National Banks are increasing, and
now exceed fifteen millions of dollars; moreover, ou
the first of June next, one hundred and fifteen millions
of two.yenr live per cent. Treasnyy notes will become
legal-reader currency, its they will then lose their first
coupons.'

CITY ITEMS.
BTIV mnn FLORENCE.”—It is always economy
in making purchases to got the best, but it is doubly
so in selecting a Sewing Machine, and for this rea
son we feel under obligations to recommend our
readers to examine the "Florence" before par
chasing. We say examine, merely, for we have
yet to hear of a single instance in which an exa
mination of this great machine has not resulted in
its preference over all others. The fact is, it is the
Sowing Machine carried to perfection.
THE PRIZE-MEDAL " SHIRT, invented by Mr.
John F. Taggart, and'sold by Mr. George Grant,
610 Chestnut street, is, without exception, the best
in fit, comfort, beauty, and durability. ills stock of
Gentlemen's Furnishing Goods, of his own exclusive
manufacture and importation, is also the choicest
in the city, and his prices are moderate.
THE NEXT BRESIDENT.—Six months will bring
us to the eve of another Presidential election.
Before that time arrives, however, there is good
reason for believing that the price of Coal will have
reached a much higher figure than it has yot
touched. In view of this, it is the province of wisdom
to order full supplies at the famous yard of W. W.
Alter, 935 North Ninth street.
MESSRS. WOOD & CARY'S Di".llW ENGLISH Walk
ing Hats are the " ton." Their elegant warerooms,
725 Chestnut street, were on Saturday thronged
with fair buyers, made all the fairer by these exqui
site head-coverings, and their store will no doubt
present a busy scene to-day.
JUST OPENED,
Rich Paris Lace Mantillas, new styles and pat-
tenss.
Points, half Shawls,"square Shawls, andßournous,
with and without capes.
Rich White Lama, Lace Mantillas, in all the new
designs.
T. W. PROCTOR & Co.,
The Paris Mantilla Emporium,
820 Chestnut street.
QUEER PAsatorts.—A hundred years ago men
tollowed queer fashions. _Powdered hair, coats with
enormous cuffs and skirts, reaching to the heels;
embroidered vests, with huge flaps over the pockets;
breeches, silk stocking% shoes with monstrous buek
les, and cocked hats, made up the costume of the
gentlemen of the day. The fashions of the present
age are simpler, and the chiefest exponents of the
mode of 1861 are those who precure their wearingap
parel at the Brown Stone Clothing Hail of. Rock
hill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut street,
above Sixth. We live in a progressive time.
"CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP TUE DOGS OF
WAR."—Terrible as war is, one cannot contemplate
the movement of vast armies, as we are now moving
them on the rebellious soil of our country, without
admiring the patriotism and manhood of those who
are willing to lay their lives on the altar of their
country. Uniforms and civilians' dress, ready made
or made to order, at Charles Stokes & Co.'s, under
the Continental.
THE PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT OP THE LADIES,
who pledge themselves to purchase no extravagant
foreign luxuries, is worthy of all commendation ; and
why should not men also organize a league binding
its members to eschew extravagance in living, dress,
etc., while.the war lasts? We can get all things of
native production good enough for anybody, and the
best of Elegant Clothing, at rwiderate charges, at
the Fashionable Clothing !Bazaar of Granville
Stokes, No. 809 Chestnut Street.
"TAKE care of the Moths while they're Millers.!'
Cedar Camp?we is the thing proper to keep moths,
and bugs, and mould from clothing. Furs or wool
ens conic out bright, whole, and fresh as a rose.
Cedar Camphor is cheaper than anything. Is certain
and durable. Druggists have it. Harris & Chap
mnn, Boston, make It.

been discharged by reason of any wounds received
in battle and have not received the *l6O bounty, can
