THE SITUATION.
- We know enottgh of the operations of the
army of General GRANT to understand the
nature of the present campaign. Thus far
- we have heard nothing but news of victory.
Whether it can be called a decisive victory,
or not, it is too soon to say. To use the,Presi
dent's quaint and sturdy sentence, in Ids
remarks to a serenading, party in Washing
" General Grt.k.sr has not been jostled
from his plans." The rebel General LEE
conthins this judgment of the President in
the only official despatch lie has printed
"By the Messing of Goa," he says; " we
have repulsed the enemy." ThoSe who
know the avidity with which the rebel
generals turn every small advantage into a
triumph, will read in this admission of LEE
au CVhilellee of victory to ns. As yet GM,
GRANT - has not spoken. His silence is
characteristic. We believe his first de
'Match to the Government about Vicks
burg <was the announcement of its
capture ; - and we should not be sur
prised if his first despatch in reference
to this campaign would he written front.
Riclunond. At home, we cannot understand
the slow events of war, and it is our impa
tience with these slow events that makes us
give credence to every silly and criminal
story that men's imagination can suggest.
There were thoSe who saw fit to become
vanie 7 sfricken yesterday, and wild rumors
were everywhere heard announcing dis
aster to our armies. The most careful
reading of the news will show that there is
not the slightest foundation for these re
ports, We have ItOt sustained the first
reverse. We have not retreated an acre.
We have not lost a color or a cam. We
hold the battle-field and the killed and
wounded of both armies. Looking at every
account that has been Written, - we see no
thing that can in any way he called a check
to our - armies, unless, perhaps, the night
attack on SEDGWICK'S corps 7 Here a por
tion of one of our divisions was a little
battered, and two generals Were taken pri.;
soners, but with ILO other result than a
temporary weakening of the line. Our
army is still as strong, and the military
operations progress with as much rapidity,
•
as could be expected.
A little thought will show how unjust it
is to criticise petulantly the movements of
a great army like that of Gen. GRANT. We
should remember that battles like those
now being fought in Yireinia cannot be
decided in one day, nor in many days. We
have a large army in the field. We have
to maintain a long line of communication.
We have more than the usual obstacles of
war. The difficulties that surrounded. and
ruined General BANKS, in the country of
the - Upper Red river, exist in the part of
Virginia now held by our troops. Those
- who have seen both places know that there
is a great resemblance between the Wilder
ness and Pleasant Hill. Both positions are
strong for an army on the defensive. An
offenstVe army finds it impoSsible to employ
its resources. Neither cavalry nor artil
lery can be placed in position, and, accord
ingly, a general in command of one of the
finest artillery and cavalry forces in the
world was compelled to fight hiS battle
solely with infantry. We particularize this
difficulty that men may do justice to the
erect deeds our army has :performed.
Gen. GRANT has been fighting to overcome
the first great: obstacle of:lds campaign.
To copy one of the pert phrases of the New
York - journals, he has been fighting to
g6t out of the wilderness." After that
it is comparatively a clear road: We know
that on Tuesday, at live - o'clock, General
GRANT had driven the enemy from hiS
woods and shrubbery, and Was about to
advance his whole line with all arms_ This
Would reduce the campaign to a very sim-,
ple plan. LEE would either be Compelled
to retreat and stand a siege in Richmond,
ape:opt a pitched battle that would deter
mine the fate of the rebel capital, or sur
render the city and retreat to the moun
tains beyond, Where, with Lynchburg for
a new base, he might fight a guerilla war
. -
and give us a new illustration of the Fa
bian policy. It would be idle to speculate
upon contingencies which the news of to
morrow may dissipate. That LEE should
be compelled to accept either, in the face
of his declared purpose to again invade
the Northern States and apply the fire and
sword to our homes, shows what a great
advantage We have gained in :shaping the
policy of the war.
In battle there are losses on one side and
losses upon the other. We have to lament
the death of many brave, gifted, and illus
trious men. Death has been busy with
those high in command. It is difficult in
deed to call that a victory - which has cost
us the lives of SEnowics., Wkoswoarrr,
and HAYS. All these sacrifices, however,
.show us the magnitude of this enterprise
and the price we are compelled to pay for
liberty and nationality. We do not pause
to weep over the dead, for with the living
our hopes and prayers are centred. Thus
far we have done nobly. All that the most
ardent and impulsive patriot could wish
has been gained. The rebellion has placed
everything upon.the issue of this campaign,
and the Government has accepted the
gauntlet and given every nerve to the con
test. Let our army continue to do as well
11.9 it has been doing for the last few days ;
/et us gain decisive victories at Richmond
and at Rome, and in a few clays what men
call the Southern Confederacy will be a
sad and disgraceful memory in the history
of freedom.
The Sanitary Fair.
Is not this .the fittest time to speak for
our Sanitary Fair ? or is it necessary to say
on e word ? The bloody field of the Wil
derness, the death-strewn ground of Spott
sylvania, appeal too tenderly, too eloquently
for words. We have but to think of the
wounded that fill the houses and all the
highways and out-roads of Fredericksburg,
to feel what an added and grateful duty is
ours. Besides thanking God for victory,
we must thank all these noble men. for
their heroic wounds. The burden is too
great for our gratitude—posterity must
render them homage. But in our day,
let us be worthy of it—worthy of the
men who have won for us, we trust,
more than honor. Our only tribute. to
the fallen must be our care for the
living. And now, when we think of the
Sanitary Fair, beside all the brave anguish
and willing martyrdom of this terrible but
splendid hour, its opportune inception
seems an inspiration of heaven.
WE worlcE with satisfaction that our able
townsman, Mr. J. Huur,Er ASHTON, has
received from the Attorney General of the
United States the:appointment of Assistant
Attorney General. He will succeed the Hon.
TITIAN J. COFFEY, who has resigned this
office after a career of distinguished effi
ciency. Mr. Aswro was latelY the acting
- United States District Attorney for this
city, and his appointment will not excite
surprise where his learning., industry, and
talent are so well known.
LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL"
WAstriNorrox, May 11, 1864.
The military situation was painfully inte
resting yesterday. The battles at Spott
sylVania Court House were obstinate and
bloody; but the substantial advantage was
ours. Our columns are converging steadily
and awfully, and, unless some unexpected
and unapprehended disaster should befal
us, the coil will won be tightened around
the neck and body of the rebel capital.
Men pause and hold their breath at the
sublime spectacle of Southern desperation
in defence of Slavery and Northern en
durance in defence of Freedom. Never
was a conflict between antagonistic prinei„
pies so clearly defined. till the battles of
modern times have been fought for kings,
the peoples having no More interest than
to fight and die for their oppressors, and no
more hope of better government whether
these oppressors lost or . won. But here
and now ! this is a people's war exclu
sively ; a war for personal honor, indi
vidual liberty, and a long peace ; a war
against a blood-thirsty and remorseless
aristocracy,- who, having been enriched
by the sweat, and blood, and utter
brutalization of the blacks, now seek.
to extend the same shameless doMinion
over the whites. It is this instinct that
makes the slaveholders fight as they fight ;
and at last, God be thanked ! our cold
Northern intellects are being opened to
receive the fact. We are cold no more-
Study the valor and the endurance of our
friends and brethren in these battles of the
Wilderness, and watch their slow but re
solved-advance on Richmond; and you will
realize that the fierce fires of Cromwell's
Covenanters are burning in their hearts.
Nothing could be more touching than to
make a tour of our hospitals and converse
with the noble fellows who were wonnded
in the Thursday's and Friday's battle of
last week. There is not a complaint of
their own Government ; not a wish ex
pressed that the war should close dis
honorably ; but frequent and fervent ex
clamations that they may-recover in time
,to go back to their regiments and help
to finish the • rebellion. They are
full of praise of the colored troops in
Burnside's command. These brave blacks
rushed into the very crater of the carnage,
shouting their war cry, " Remember Fort
Pillow !" " Remember Plymouth !" There
is no longer any abuse of the Abolitionists and
of the negroes in the army. Of the rebel
atrocities they speak in terms of unmea
sured indignation.
The Mayor of Fredericksburg, whose ca
reer, from the first, has been one of alternate
obsequiousness and perfidy, and who has
been tolerated and even protected by our
Government, was doubtless the instigator
of the wretches who fired upon these
: wounded heroes as they passed through
the town. He has since crowned his
shameless record by aiding in the capture
of three hundred more of our mutilated
and bleeding sufferers, who were also en
route for the hospitals, and remanding them
to the living death in the rebel dun
geons. Happily for the cause of hu
manity, he is himself again in the
hands of our army. What punishment
can be inflicted, according to the laws of
war, on such afiend, it is for General Grant
to decide ; but it cannot be too severe.
He could not have a more appropriate
name than Slaughter. It is the proof of
his own base nature, and the sign of the
savage school to which he belongs.
Lost Performances or the Operaor 6, Notre
Dame of Paris."
The Committee on Musical Entertainments for
the Sanitary Fair announce the last evening per
formance of "Notre Dame" to-morrow (Friday), the
admission one dollar to the parquet and lower tiers
of boxes, and half-a-dollar to the family circle ; and
the last day performance on Saturday afternoon, at
three o'clock—the admission half-a-dollar to all parts
of the house, except the amphitheatre, which will
be at twenty-five cents. Thus on Saturday the opera
and festival will positively cease. The OPeri Of
"Notre Dame" is illustrated on the stage with an
overwhelming magnificence, which all travelled
connoiseeurs agree is superior to that even of the
model opera-house of Europe, the Paris Academy.
The forces on the stage, between 300 and 400, are
twice as large as those of the French Academy ; the
chorus, composed of fresh young voices, is purer, and
yet larger ; the orchestra is equally good ; so the
scenery, dresses, and decorations. The price of admis
sion is from one-third to one-fifth that for the grand
opera-houses of Europe. '

DESPATCH FROM GEN. RUFUS INGALLS.
[Special telegram to the Press.
WAsuiNdrou, May 11, P. M.—Senator Nesmith,
of Oregon, has just received a despatch from Briga
dier General Rufus Ingalls, Quartermaster General
of Meade's army, dated yesterday noon at SpOttsyl-
Tanta Court House, in which he says :
" We are fighting now, and have been at it all the
time.
" We are bursting them up.
"Our losses are very heavy ; the enemy's exceed
ours greatly.
"We shall make a general attack upon the ene
my's entire line at five o'clock this evening.
"I am constrained to give it as my opinion that
the world never knew or heard of war before,
" Tell my brother I am all right yet, and bound for
Richmond!"
FIGHTING AND PURSUIT RENEWED ON
MONDAY—LEE MASKING TO FALL ON
BUTLER.'
WASHINGTON, May 11.—Despatelms from the
Array of the Potomac speak of General Wright,
who succeeds the late General Sedgwick, as an able
soldier, who will not fail to secure the confidence of
those over whom he is placed.
No movement was intended to be made on Mon
day; but a brief period of rest was given to the
army after their heavy labors during the past week.
All was very quiet along the lines till late in the
afternoon. It was thought that the enemy were
probably falling back, or that Lee had already gone
to Richmond to meet General Smith, who was re
ported as being close to that place ; and therefore a
move forward along the entire line was determined
on and commenced at half past 5 o'clock, the right,
consisting of Birney's and Gibbon's divisions of the
2d Corps, and Carroll's brigade on the left, joining
Warren, the latter being the centre, with., the 6th
Corps on the left.
The right crossed a branch of the Po, and charged
on a light horse battery, which was posted to Cover
a small bridge, but which quickly limbered up and
started off, the skirmishers supporting it also re
treating.
In front of Warren, and on the left of Hancock,
quite a lively engagement ensued, the shell and
round shot from one of the enemy's batteries placed
in the woods coming in rather close proximity to
some lookers-on in an open field in the rear of Ge
neral Warren's headquarters, and causing a stam
pede of the crowd.
The enemy were driven back about three-fourths
of a mile, and at dark the firing ceased. A few pri
soners were captured. They belonged to Wileoft'S
division of Hill's corps.
It is believed, however, that Longstreet's corps
was the only one in our front, and that he was left
there to impede our progress as much as possible,
while Lee was attending to General Reidy Smith.
However, says the correspondent, we shall know
more in the morning.
A rebel cavalry brigade is reported as having
been secs on the north side of the Rapidan, on Mon
-day, near Fredericksburg. As the latter place is in
our possession, trains of wounded have been sent
thither, to be forwarded to Belle Plain, and thence
by transports to Washington.
Messengers were sent forward to stop all boats
going up the Potomac, and load them with the
wounded.
A BATTLE IN' PROGRESS—THE REBELS
FALLING- BACK TO HANOVER.
SPOTTSYLVANIA, May 10.—Last night the 2d
Corps, holding position ‘as the right wing of the
army, made a splendid and successful movement by
the flank across the Po river and this fine body of
veterans will take the enemy in the dank from its
present position to-day.
The indications are that the rebels will fall back
to their formidable fortifications near Hanover
Junction.
. There is, therefore, a prospect now that we shall
have a great battle to-day, unless General Lee re
treats, The 2d Corps had forced a fight last night,
gaining a temporary victory.
General Birney held the right, General Gibbon
the centre, and General Barton the left wing.
With this Organization our troops advanted
steadily, and the rebels were driven from all points,
especially from the main position, which is now held
by Gen. Hancock, and ground has thus been gained,
which will enable Gen. Grant to make a favorable
disposition of our forces for a great battle, or for pur
suit, should the enemy retreat.
GENERAL ATTACK ON TUESDAY—LEE
ABOUT TO CROSS THE NORTH ANNA
RIVER.
I,V sniNGTON, May 11.—A heavy engagement was
going on last evening. A general attack of our army
was made at 5 o'clock yesterday.
Grant has captured a large amount of stores.
The rebels are removing the Libby prisoners to
Danville, on the Virginia and North Carolina line,
for safe keeping.
The churches are all open in Richmond for daily
prayer.
OCCASION AL
Officers who have arrived here to-day state that
our artillery is now playing upon the rebels. This
is the first opportunity we have had for using this
effective arm of the service.
The impression prevailed in the army yesterday
that Lee was about to cross the North Anna river,
bound for Richmond.

The right with the Rebel Ram Albe-
NEW 1701 M, May 11.—The Herald has received
the following correspondence :
NEWICEIZN, N. C., May 7.—On Thursday, the Bth
inst., at 1;4 - P. M., the rebel ram Albemarle, accom
panied by its satellite, the Cotton Plant, and the
gunboat Bombshell, captured by them at Plymouth,
appeared at the mouth of the Roanoke river.
The gunboats Miami, Whitehead, Cores, and
Commodore Hull were lying close to the river in the
Sound.
On perceiving that the ram designed to enter the
Sound, they made off as if fearful of an encounter,
but only anxious to draw tho ram into tho Sound.
The ram and her followers pursued for about twelve
miles, when the gunboats Sassacus, Wyalusing, and
Blatabesett (double-enders) appeared. Our gun
boats, seven in number, immediately opened fire,
and a terrific engagement ensued.
The Cotton Plant made her essapeawhile the ram
retreated up the Sound slowly and steadily, firing
rapidly.
The gunboat Bombshell . was retaken, with all on
board. -
The Sassacus, having an iron prow, ran at full
speed upon the ram, striking it abaft the centre, but
apparently inflicting no injury. The Sassacus had
her forward rudder knocked off, and was obliged to
retire, closely followed by the gunboats.
The ram, under cover of the darkness, succeeded
in entering the Roanoke river again, where our gun
boats could not follow. . The ram has not been seen
since the engagement,
MONTREAL, May 11.—The Minister of Finance
brought forth his budget last night. The imports
were 445,000, and the exports 441,000. The duty on
Canadian whisky has been raised from 15@306 per
gallon, and a specific duty of 40c per gallon is laid
on foreign whisky, and an additional duty of 150
on brandy, gin, rum, cordials, spfrits, wino, and
alcohol, to take effect to-day. The following duty
on tobacco is to take effect on the Ist of July: On
eavendish, plug, /k.c., 10c ; Snuff and cut tobacco,
15c ; cigars, lowest, 452; highest $5 per thousand.
A stamp duty of 30 per hundred dollars has been

Arrival of the City of Manchester
NEW YORK , May IL—The steamer City of Man
chester, from Liverpool on the 27th, via Queenstown
on the 28th of April, has arrived at this port.
The steamer City or London arrived out on the
27th.
The pirate Alabama put into Table Bay on the
10th of March, for coal.
In the House of Lords, on the 26th, Lord Chelms
ford protested against the instructions given to the
Colonial Governors relative to the admission of
American cruisers into British ports. He referred
specially to the Tuscaloosa ease, and condemned
her detention at the Cape.
Earl Russell states that as the Confederates could
not take their captures into their own blockaded
ports, it was necessary for neutral Powers to Insist
on exceptional regulations.
The Government felt bound to eoneider the Tuna-
loosa as an uncondemned prize• but as the circum
stances of the case were new, the law omeors of the
Crown were of the opinion that, instead of detaining
her, it would be sufficient to warn her off.
Earl - Russell denied Lord Chelmsford's insinua
tions that the Government had truckled to the
American Government, which, he said, on their
part, had fairly and promptly attended to whatever
demands had been made on them. England re
turned the courtesy.
Lord Kingsdown denied that the captor wag bound
to take a prize before a prize court. The Lord
Chancellor supported Earl Russell's arguments.
The subject was then dropped.

The Morning Post says the rise in_Confederate

are becoming absorbed, to a considerable amount,
by blockade running, through which cotton is ob

The Red River Defeat.
- -
Mr. LANE, of Kansas, introduced a resolutiOn, re
guesting the Committee on the Conduct of the War to
investigate the causes of the recent disaster on the Red
river. He made a statement to the effect that the expe
dition was under the command of General Lee, of Kan
san, who had several times asked that infantry be given
him, to sustain and cover his artillery, which was , only
protected by cavalry. He held that the disastrous result,
was due to mismanagement.
Mr. RICHARDSON
interferencest - much trouble had
already arisen by the of the civil authori
ties with the military, and did not believe it wine to
pass this resolution.
Mr. GRIMES would express no opinion relative to the
management of this expedition; but it was too late to
i object at this day to Congressional investigation, and
he called attention .to several cases of such investigs
, tions made under Democratic administration.
On his motion, the resolution was amended so as to
give the committee power to investigate the entire ad:
ministration of Gen.- Banks in the Department of the
Southwest.
Mr. WILSON thought - the standing of General Banks
as a man and an officer entitled him to fair treatment at
least, and lie did not think Senators should Indulge in
this wholesale denuhciation of him. There was no
doubt that we bad met with a great disaster on Red
river, but he would not say who was responsible for it.
Mr. LANE, of Kansas, said he did not wishto be un
derstood as denouncing General Banks. He understood
the - expedition was planned by a Western officer, and
very reluctantly consented to by the War Department.
He believed, on the information be had, that the
whole thing was a movement for picking up cotton.
As a military operation it was ridienletni to have an
many wagons up hear the front.
Sanction of the Movement.
Mr. DOOLITTLE thought this movement could not
ha - Ve been made without the sanction of the President
and the Lieutenant General ; and lie had understood it
was also with the sanction of General Curtis.
life." LANE, of Kansas, said that he thought it was
the most ill-advised and foolish movement of the war;
and reiterated that it was inaugurated by a Western
officer, whom lie would not name. Ever since General
Curtis had been in command in Kansas he had been
constantly calling for troops to protect his southern
border, and he did not believe lie had anything' to do
with this expedition, and General Lee had a right to,
and demanded an investigation or the whole affair.
Mr. DOOLITTLE said he would not directly assert
that General Curtis sanctioned the movement, for he
was not at liberty to quote from letters and papers that
he had seen, but he believed that such was the fact.
Mr. GRIMES said that the matter had gone so far now
that it would seem there should he a full investigation.
The resolution as amended was then passed.
Dir. WILSON endeavored to call up the bill allowing ,
persons living in the seceded States to enlist in regi
ment:, from the Northern States, but the Senate refused.
Mr. HALE, from the Naval Committee, reported ajoint
resolution for the relief of Commander W. D. Porter,
and the officers and crew of the gunboat Essex, which

ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The House resumed the considoration of the Senate's
aincmlnienta to the consular and diplomatic appro
priation bill.
Cousinlutir Pupils.
Mr. PATTERSON advocated the Senate amendment
providing for the appointment by the President of
twenty-five consular pupils, showing the importance of
their being educated to their duties.
Mr. BROOKS posed the amendment, arguing that
our diplomatic affairs have been conducted With groat
ability by those who have, according, to our system,
been taken from our most distinguished men, including
statesmen educated at our free schools.
Mr. PATTERS:ON said that the gentleman's remarks
applied to the diplomatic rather than the consular sys
tem, and the distinguished gentlemen who had repre
sented us abroad, and whose names had been mentioned,
had recommended the appointment of consular pupils,
who may become acquainted with the language ot the
countries to which they may be appointed, as well as
their ]awe and usages.
Mr KASSON, of lowa, said the Committee of Ways
and Means had recommended a non-concurrence in the
amendment, because it was not properly guarded, and
il(4'all140 On a change of Administration they would bo
liable to removal, and therefore there was no perma
nency in the system.
Mr. MORRILL took a similar view, and the House
concurred in the Senate's amendment.
Minister to Belgium.
The. Senate had amended the bill providing that the
President may, in Ilia discretion, appoint a full minis
ter to Belgium.
Au amendment was offered in the House appropriat
ing *2,600 in addition to the salary of minister resident.
which is a1q,500, or the salary of a full minister should
the President, hisdiseretion, appoint one, w hich was
rejected—yeas :30, nays 51
The Senate amendment was then non -concurred in,
and a committee of conference asked of the Senate.
Homesteads for Soldiers and Sailors.
The lionse resumed the consideration Of the bill to
secure to persons engaged In the militaryand naval ser
vice, without regard to color, homesteads on forfeited
estates in insurrectionary districts.
ME FERNANDO WOOD said there was no class more
entitled to the exercise of the largest liberality than the
soldiers and sailors, who, from honest and patriotic
motives, are defending the honor of onr flag and the
integrity of our country. Those on the Opposition side
had repeatedly proposed to increase their pay, and.
until a few days ago, the other side hail uniformly voted
against such an appropriation.
The lands in our possession are given to speculators
for railroad purposes, while those which wo do not pos
sess, and the life estate only of which could be enjoyed,
even if confiscated, are to be parcelled into homesteads.
Thus there is held out a deception and falsehood. There
was a hidden motive beyond the title of this bill. He
had suspected there was an African somewhere, and, as
Denton said of Mr. Douglas' bit!, that it carried a stump
speech in the belly of it, go of this bill. it carried do
gro in the belly of it.
The fourth section provided that all persons who are
laborers shall have homesteads. It was for the benefit
of freedmen under the pretext that the soldier and sailor
were to be benefitted. He was further opposed to the
bill because it was based on au assumption that the
Union shall never be restored, and because, if the
States are restored, they are entitled to come back with
all their territorial and other rights. He never did and
never would do anything to prevent the restoration.
He was yet with those who hoped almost against hope
that the Union would be restored.
Mr. SLOAN, of Wisconsin, said the gentleman from
New York bad made great pretensions as to paying the
sailors and soldiers in gold, yet he had voted against the
tax bill which would put money into the hands of the
Government to pay them. This bill merely proposed to
treat the lands as any - otheracquired domains; the ques
tion of confiscation bad been settled or rather it had
been referred to the adjudicatiOn of the courts. It ap
plies only to those who persist in their treason and con
tinue to be engaged in thegreat rebellion. Did the gen
tleman feel tender toward that class?
We have oppres'sed the negro for two hundred years,
ground them down and held them in bondage, and now,
when it was asked that a simple measure of justice be
extended to them, the proposition was met by remarks or
arguments which no man who possessed any self-respect
should use. He denied that the bill would prevent a
restoration of the Union. It would assist in restoring
the Union and harmony in a higher and better sense by
taking from it that which had always been antagonistic
to the Government, and giving us a Union with a free
people everywhere.
The morning hour having expired, the subject went
over.
The House resumod the consideration of the joint reso
lution to drop from the rolls of the army unemployed
general officers.
Unemployed General Officers—Fremont
and McClellan.%
• Mr. SCHENCK, of Ohio, in explaining the measure,
said gentlemen must be hard nice, or draw ungenerous
inferences, when they charged personal feelings on the
Part of the Committee on Military Affairs, who reported
the resolution in accordance with instructions of the
House to apply a remedy for what Wait generally ac
knowledge.' to be an evil. He said that, so far from the
cerninittee being actuated by personal or political mo
tives, he did not know of a single member who was
thus influenced. Three-fourths of the general officers
to be affected by the resolution are staunch friends of
the Present Administration.
Jr John C. Fremont and George B. McClellan wera
not to be affected by the joint resolution, perhaps no se
rious opposition would have been made to its passage.
But he repeated the resolution propgsed to remedy, by
legislation ' evils which all admit exist, and to apply to
present and all future similar cases. There was no
reason why all should not standl equal before the law.
In an economic sense $200,000 would be saved by the
Passage of the joint resolution.
The House voted on Mr. Cox's amendment, hereto•
fore - ofered,providing whenever any officer shall de
mand a board of inquiry, according to the rules and re
gulations in such eases, and be willing to serve, such
- board shall be forthwith convened, and if the board
shall find him competent for command in the rank to
which he is entitled/ tie Shall be restored to active her-
Vice,. with f6n. - nay. And all officers who have received
the thanks of Congress during the present war shall be
lexempt from the provisions of this act. The amendment
was rejected—yeas 46, nays 69.
The Rouse considered Mr. Kernan's substitute for
the joint resolution proposing a board of three major
generals, three brigadier generals and three colonels,
to examine and report to the Secretary of War as to the
competency and incompetency for command of unem
ployed generals, the latter to be dropped or remitted to
the posi thole, in the regular army, occupie under hem
before they were appointed general officers the

Mr. Kernan '36 substitute was rejected—yeas 50, nays 69.
Certain Officers to be Dropped from the
Bolls.
On motion of Mr. SCHEriCK, the previous question
was ordered on the joint resejution which provides that
all major generals and all brigadier generals in the mili
tary service of the United States,who, on the Ist of July
next, shall not be in performance of dutY or service eon
ren,edbia to their respective grades and rank, and who
shall not have been engaged iu such duty or service for

ARKANSAS,
Exciting from Arkansas--Steele at Little
Rock—llis Advance to CaMileli—Battle
and Skirmishing with Price—Race with
Illarmadnke for Little Rock—The Ar
kansas Capital in Peril but Rescued.
[From the Missouri Democrat, May 9.]
The expedition of General Steele toward Shreve
port has ended with his return, under rather ex
citing circumstances, to Little Rock. A gentle
man personally conversant with the facts arrived
here from that City Saturday evening, and commu
nicates to us a statement to the following purport
General Steele left Little Rock with some twelve
thousand infantry and three thousand cavalry, the
latter under command of General Carr. Arkadel
phia was occupied without difficulty, and the force
moved forward to Camden. Between Arkadelphia
nd Camden a subsistence train of one hundred and
eighty wagons was cut off and captured by the ene
my, together with the escort of some four hundred
cad eighty men, who suddenly found themselves In
the hands of a much superior force, and made little
resistance. .
At Camden, Steele soon found the rebels, about
eight thousand strong, cavalry, in the rear. 210
wagons, despatched from Camden, toward Pine
Bluff; for stores, with an escort of sixteen hundred
men, were captured by the enemy. The steamer
Alamo, baying on board twenty tons of ammunition
for Steele's army, was sunk forty or fifty miles be
low Little Rock. A pilot by the name of Robert
Lewis was in charge and the boat earns into de
structive collision with another steamer. _Lewis
was put under arrest on a suspicion of treachery,
but had friends to attest his loyalty and was re
leased.
Gen. Steele found no stores to subsist his troops,
and had to reduce thole allowance to quarter ra
tions. As his movement was to be eo-operative with
the main one of Banks, which had failed, there re
mained no course but to return to Little Rock.
Price undertook to detain Steele at Camden, while
Marmaduke with a strong force set oil for Little
Rock. General Steele had, therefore, to act for the
safety of the Arkansas capital, with the Union po
pulation and millions of dollars' worth of Federal
stores, as well as for the rescue of his army. Ho
broke through Price's lines, and set- out, to Littla
Rook in tilde to Save it frOin Marmaduke. The
latter had with him Generals Magruder and Fagin,
and was making every possible exertion to reach
and bag his proposed game.
At Sabine Fork it became necessary to give Price
battle, and this was handsomely done. The rebels
were well mounted and in fine condition, and the
light was protracted and bloody, lasting three or
four hours. It resulted, however, in a complete re
pulse of the enemy, leaving Steele to resume his ex
citing race with Marmaduke.
The latter approached Little Rock, and began
throwing shells into the city on the afternoon of the
Ist instant. Shortly afterward, General Carr's regi
ments of cavalry came up, and, joining the troops
at the post, compelled Marmaduke to relinquish
this undertaking. Ile made little resistance as the
main body of General Stoele's army was rapidly ar
riving. The shells had done no damage. Thus
Little Rock was saved from sacking, and many of
its citizens from massacre. The Legislature was in
session, and probably not one of its member 4, if
caught, would have been spared by theexasperated
foe.
During the entire march from Camden, our troops
ze y ro wto mo i s u t n e g on u s p t o a n nt gei s r ki r rm ea l r sh a i n nt t i r a i n tit a ar th h ee a n s ot s_
ing and strenuously endeavoring to impede their
progress. There were no ambulances for the wound
ed, and they had therefore to be left in the houses of
the residents on the road.
The captured escort of sixteen hundred men was
composed of the 86th lowa, 43d Indiana, anti 77th
Ohio. Forty-five of tho whole number succeeded - In
escaping.
Our informant represents Steele's cavalry as de
plorably deficient In horses, while the enemy has tine
horses and an abundance of them. Our men hate
been compelled to use unbroken mules in many In
stances, or to try to use thorn, for cavalry horses !
The state of the country below Little Rock may
be imagined, Pride's forces still lingered in the
vicinity, and wore stripping the often desolated
country anew. The Unionists of Arkansas arc
thus doomed to suffer afresh, and probably their
severest period of horrors. - Relief, It is earnestly to
be trusted, will soon be afforded them,
IS THE REAL HiZIO OP ENOLANI> AN - AAnIIICAH
A writer In the Canton (Illinois) Il r eekly Register,
referring to the article in Harper's Magazine, en
titled "A Suppressed Princess,. makes the follow
ing curious statement in regard to the family of
George 111., by his alleged first wife, Hannah Light
foot:
The reader of the "Suppressed Princess " will
be able to form some idea of the care taken by roy
alty and its immediate adherenteto keep such mat
ters from the oars of the vulgar multitude i the ex
treme vigilance that would he exercised in the case
now under consideration and consequent difficulty
of securing a really reliable history of such cases,
and especially of this one, which was undoubtedly
guarded with the utmost care and jealousy. Never
theless, the writer of this has good reason for be
lieving that lie can give an amnint of what became
of Hannah Lightfoot and her children. At any
rate it is the only one he has ever been able to learn
of, after oonsitiormine inquiry and correspondence in
both England and America.
George HI. well know the storm of indignation
that would be poured upon him by the nobility of
England—and that it might even deprive him of the
throne—should he attempt to make Hannah Light
foot his Queen and her oldest son his heir ; conse
quently he divorced her, or put her away. In
order the more completely to rid himself and suc
cessors from all trouble from that source, ho sent his
oldest-Son, whose name was also George, to Pennsyl
vania, in company with a family who came there to
settle, with whom he grew up under the name of Geo.
Shearer. On arriving at the age of manhood, he mar
ried and settled in the western part of the same
State. His oldest son, James, is now a resident
of this county (Fulton,lll.), and is something over
sixty years ofage. Idos a quiet, industrious farmer;
and his features bear so strong a resemblance to
those of his royal grandfather—as stamped on
English pennies --that the one has often reminded
the writer of this of the other. He is comfortably
well off, and possesses to an eminent degree the
prominent eharacteristievof George lll.—that of a
shrewd money-getter. We may also add that he is
a most unflinching Union man, and has no more
affection for royalty than any other American
" sovereign.”
The exact date when George Shearer. was sent
to this country we have never been able to ascer
tain; but about a year subsequent to that event
Hannah Lightfoot and her other children were sent
to Richmond, Va., in the neighborhood of which the
King gave them a largo grant of land, and where
she subsequently married again and raised another
family. -Mr—lames Shearer says he well remem
bers his father going from Pennsylvania to Rich
mond, to visit his mother, two or throe different
times. lie (James) has lost all trace of that branch
of the family; but the writer hereof believes that
he had found one portion of it, by correspondence,
when the war broke out and put an end to all fur
ther search at present.
ThIS IS no now story to us; we have been ac
quainted with the circumstances, as hero stated,
for a number of years, and, for the accomplishment
of certain purposes not necessary to state in this
connection, have been endeavoring to secure all the
Information possible In reference thereto. Al
though we have not been able to secure anything
that would be considered prima facie evidence, yet
every circumstance yet attained only goes to con
firm its truth ; and should opkortunityover offer, we
intend to make some further inquiries at Richmond
and vicinity. We shall also watch with interest the
denouement in the case of the "Suppressed Prin
cess," if that case is ever brought before Parliament;
more especially as it may throw some further light
Upon the circumstances we have related."
Glancing at some of the amenities of war, Mr.
Sala, in his correspondence with the London Tele
graph, says: "I was told recently of a Northern
cavalry officer who for months was opposed to. the
renowned Confederate sabreue—the Murat of the
South—Fitzhugh Lee. The two gallant foomen
fought each other like a couple of wild cats ; but
they were, out of the fight, always on the friendliest
of terms. Both happened to be gentlemen, school
fellows, classmates, West Point men, who had puz
zled their heads over the same mathematical pro
blem and smoked the same prohibited tobacco.
They could find time in the intervals of fighting to
keep up a jocose correspondence. Thus the Con
federate would write to the Federal, 'Clear out ;
you've no right in this part of the country, anyhow.
Send me a bag of coffee.' To which—having sent the
coffee—the Federal would reply, a few days later, 'I
played the deuce with you on Thursday, and moan
to finish you up next week. Old rye is scarce.
Could you manage to let me have a few bet
ties?' And the old rye, or, in default thereof, BOUT.
bon, was punctually sent. It chanced that one of
the aids-de-camp of a Federal officer was taken pri
soner. He met at first with some rough treatment in
the Confederate lines, and, being slightly wounded,
would have fared but ill, when he bethought
himself of 'sending his card to General Fitzhugh
Lee. The Murat of the South was exceedingly
kind to him, He could not set him free—that was
against the rules. He had no wine, no fruit,
no jellies, no delicacies, and but few comforts
to offer him ; but ho sent him every day at noon a
hot whisky-toddy. Whisky-and-water hot, is, per.
haps, not the best diet for a wounded man ; but you
have little idea of the strange things ono gets ac
customed to in war. My belief is that the aid-do
camp throve on the whisky-toddy; but in any ease
the intention of Fitzhugh Lee was as kind and as
tender and as noble as that of the poorHighla.nd ea^
terans, who r when they mighthave, sold Charles Ed-
ward's head fbr -teo,ooo, sheltered their fugitive
prince in a cave, but had rib better fare to give him
than a pennyworth of gingerbread."
• At the benefit of IVl'lle Adelina Patti, in Paris,
recently, she was almost smothered in bouquets.
What happened on the next night is thus described :
"Again, by particular request, she appeared for the
last time this season in 'II Barbiero.' On this oc
casion an admirer, a young Russian prfnee, who
would not be found in the common herd, installed
himself in a box all to himself—having previously
supplied himself with a profusion of bouquets of the
most costly and rare flowers. As soon as Patti ap
peared the gentleman commenced the scene of the
benefit night all alone. -At first this sort of- thing
was received with disfavor by the house; but at last
the audience found it best to take the affair good
humoredly, laughing as each bouquet was landed at
the feet of the embarrassed young songstress. Not
less than fifty or sixty were thrown, several of them
containing cases of valuable diamonds and pearl
bracelets, necklaces, rings, etc. Patti stood the test
admirably, and presented her treasures to her father,
who handed them over to the theatrical manager,
M. Bagier, to be returned to their donor."
Dr. Edward Beecher, in his sermon at the fu
neral of Owen Lovejoy, at his home, in Illinois,
stated that air. L. originally sought ordination in
the Episcopal Church at the hands of Rishop'Chaso,
who required him to pledge himself In writing that
he would not agitate the subject of slavery. He re.
plied : "My right arm shall drop off before I will
sign that pledge. If I should sign it, I should ex
pect it to drop off." The Bishop then agreed that
he might lecture on slavery, if he would say nothing
about it in the pulpit. "Promise not to preach
against sin, and that a prevailing sin! Never."
And so he turned to the freedom of the Congrega
tional polity.
Mario, say the critics, surpassed himself on the
night when he performed Masaniello before Garibal
di at the London opera. "From the dement down
the rock," says the Musical World, "to the last
clutch of the battle-axe, it was to match ; genius
shone in every gesture and spoke in every tone.
Each attitude was a subject for painter's brush or
sculptor's chisel. An essay could be written on
every scene—or rather a poem, which would bo still
more ftiipropriate." It is said, indeed, that Mario ;
feeling that his voice as a singer is beginning to fat

A PARALLEL.—The Cleveland Herald recalls the
following, to show the effect the Fort Pillow mas.
sacre is likely to have :
"The Texan revolution presented a notable in
stance of 'no quarter. , The defenders, of Boxer
fought till but six of their number remained alive.
Of the six, one was Col. Crockett surrendered on
promise of protection, but being taken before Santa
Anna, they were, by his order, instantly cut to
pieces. Their remains were burned in the centre of
the Alamo, by which name the fort was called by
theMexieanS. The, brutality aroused a fire In the
hearts of the Texans which resulted in the battle of
San Jacinto, in the defeat of the Mexicans, and cap

at this battle the Texans, with the battle-cry of

A LETTER dated at Marklesville ' Amador county,
California, April 2d, tells this story: James M.
Sanders left Carroll county, Crooked Creek, Ar
kansas, in April, 1859, for California. He arrived
there, and made a fortune of thirty thousand dol
lars. About a month before the date of the letter,
he was attacked with typhoid fever and died, leaving
the writer of the letter to take charge of his money
and property. He was the son of Francis and Hester
Sanders, and was about thirty years of age. There
were no 'demands against the estate, except the ad
ministrator's fees, The only mystery about the
matter Is, that, for "some reasons," the - writer de
clines to give his whole name, but requests those
interested to address "J. B.M. - " Markleville,

CHESTNUT-STREET THEATTus.—" The Romance
of a Poor Young Man" le being well performed at
this theatre. The plot, whfeli it taken from Octave
Foeuiliet , s novel of the same name, is extremely
interesting. Foeuillet dramatized It himself; for the
French Stage, and the American adaptors have
altered, but, we think, not improved upon his work.
The changes which have been made are, however,
only in some of the minor points, fend the drama re
tains its powerful interest.
Miss Jennie Parker plays the part of the haughty
and distrustful heroine with taste atursidll, and in
the passionate scenes displays much power. Mr.
Mortimer is well fitted for the part of the poor but
high-born hero. His appearance and action finely
express the half-concealed hauteur of the reduced
nobleman. Miss Annie Ward is excellent as Madame
Aubrey, the afflicted poor relation, though at times
she does carry her grief a little too far; it is diffiCult,
however, to play an absurd character without ma
king its absurdity too marked. Miss Ward is an
excellent and deservedly popnlar actress,
Mr. Walter Donaldson's• personation of the aged
Gasper Laroque is a remarkable piece of acting, and
is worthy of great praise. The workings of a trou
bled conscience upon a trembling old man are finely
delineated.
All the appointments of the piece are good—the
music and scenery are excellent, and the whole
forms a highly pleasing dramatic entertainment.

dentists, inform the public that they are about to
uult Chalons for their country house, and those pa
trons who Intend according them their confidence
will find in their new Eden of flowers everything to
satisfy their tastes." We know of an establishment
in this city which has no need of "an Eden" to.ro

Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rockhill & Wilson,

Goon NATtran is the best feature In the finest

A CARD.—Charles Stokes & Co. take pleasure in
informing the press of the city, and elsewhere, that
the distinguished Lieutenant General U. S. Grant
visited our establishment, when passing through
our city last March, and left us his autograph and
measure for a full suit of military clothing, a com
pliment he paid to no other establishment in the
city. We hope other generals, as well as all other
officers belonging to the Union army, will appreciate
the taste as well as the judgment of Lieutenant
Genoral Grant, in thus pronouncing us the very
best military tailors in the United States. We are
receiving numbers of orders daily from all parts of
the army, and in all cases very satisfactory returns
in answer are received.

In Longfellow's Poem Hiawatha was adjudged to
have conferred the greatest boon on his tribe because
he brought to its notice corn. Every one will admit
hat our preparation is worthy of its name, for the be
nefits it confers when it is known.
WHAT THE HIAW-k ; rHA DOES
It restores faded and gray hair and whiskers to their
original color. It brings rip the natural shading of one
hair with another, thus giving the hair a perfect life
appearance, so that the most critical observer cannot
detect its use. It makes harsh hair soft and silky, stoPs
its falling out, cleanses it and the scalp from all lama
is as readily applied and wiped from the skin as
any hair dressing, and entirely overcomes the bad ef
fects of previous use of preparations containingsulphar,
sugar of lead, Ste.
The proprietors of the Hiawatha published the fol•
lowing challenge to test in the Now York dailies three
weeks, which
WAS NETER. ACCEPTED

Let SOPA Well known mid disinterested persons ap
point one to the proprietor of each preparation for the
hair to bring up the color. Every proprietor to 000
nothing but his own preparation, and the person
nothing also during the test. A certificate of the re
sult to be widely published at the eln)enB4 of tha On'
successful competitors. Sold everywhere.
