MONDAY, MAY 23, 1864.
THE SITUATION.
Again the official statement of the Secre
tary of War informs us of success. Again
LEE has been out-generalled, forced to re
treat by the combinations of GRANT, and
his own pressing necessities. Early on the
20th LONCSTREET fell back, hastily pursued
by ITAficoca• ; : ,ESI'ELL, too, retreated, and
on the 21st the entire rebel force had crossed
the North Anna river, eagerly folloted by
the whole Union army. It is understood
that General GRAN''rifts urgently requested
that the details of the movements of his
own army should not now be published,
and it is to be hoped that no loyal newspa
per will mistake recklessness for legitimate
-enterprise: = .
OnArr, on Friday night, began a move
ment which-left the enemy uo choice be
tween fighting at great disadvantage or re 7
- treating. Our forces at the latest dates
occupied Guinney's Station, Milford; and
the line south of the Mattapony, but where
they now are, or where LEE will make his
stand, it were useless to 'conjecturai Heavy
fighting, it is :more than prObable i - has
already occurred between portions of the
two armies.,
GRANT has overcome a great difticulty
Re has forced' tlfc enemy from fortifica
tions which only by immense sacrifice of
life could have been taken by storm, and
driven him, for the third time, from his
chosen positions.. The campaign seems to
be resolved into the reluctant retreat of thg
enemy on Richmond.
Ministerial Changes in England.
t 7.
The recent changes in the British Govern,
went are not without significance in Eng
land nor devoid of interest here. After
some deviations, which we condemned
when they occurred, the doctrine of neu
trality was finally adopted by Lord PAL
MERSTON and his colleagues, and for more
than a year we have had no cause to sus
pect them of ill-faith towards us. ( Should
a change of Ministry take place, it Probably
would be injurious, to our National cause,
for it is next to certain that the Earl of
DERBY would tali° Lord PALMERSTON'S
place as Prime Minister, and it is notorious
from his whole parliamentary course, du
ringlle last three years, that Lord DERBY
is resolutely . and persistently opposed to
the United States and friendly to " the so
called Southern Confederation." There
fore, we are nationally interested in the
continuance of the Palmerston Govern: 7
mett.
The recent changes in that Administra
tion will strengthen it. The Secretary
ship of the Colonies, which ill health com
pelled the Duke of Newcastle to resign,
has' been given to Mr. CARDWELL, a
shrewd and sensible man, one of the late
Sir ROBERT PEEL'S bringing forward, who
has had considerable parliamentary and
official experience, but latterly was a
member of :the Cabinet, by virtue of hold- .
ing the chancellorship of the Duchy of
Lancaster, which is almost a sinecure.
Able, active, experienced, strong in , mind
and body, and little over fifty, Mr. CARD
WELL is •an improvement, as Celonial
Secretary, upon. the Duke of - Newcastle,
who haS latterli been incapacitated by bad
health from"attending to his important
duties. The. Earl of Clarendon's accept
ance of the office vacated by Mr. CAnD
WELL'S promotion, restores to the cabinet
one of the ablest statesmen of England.
Lord CLARENDON, after hav,ing performed
the duties of .AmbasSador to Spain for
more than six years, was. Viceroy of Ire,
land from May, 1847, to February, 1352,,
and Foreign Secretary from 1853 to 1858.
Equally at home in domestic and foreign
administration, he is supposed to be ex
celled by PALMEASTON alone in the latter,
and• immediately on resuming office last,
month was sent on a confidential mission
to the Emperor of the French to restore
the entente cordiale, which he. succeeded in
The resignatibn of NT. STANSFELD;
Junior Lord of the Admiralty, deprived
the Palmerston Government of a cleVer,
hardworking colleague, who may certainly
resume office, ere king, if it so pleaSe him.
Mr: ROBERT LOWE, Vice President of the
Education Board, was the subject:Of a vote
.of censure in the House of Coinmons, and
at once placed his resignation in Lcird PAL
MERSTON7S hands, probably expecting that:
(as was done in Mr. STANSPELO'S Case) Ihe
- Would be Solicited to Withdraw it. : But
Lord PALMERSTON promptly took him at
his word; and filled the place with little de'-.
lay. Mr. LowE being one Of the leading
- writers in the Times, it is considered that .
Lord PALMERSTON has shown much moral
courage in thus inviting, as it were, the
hostility of such a journalist. In .reality,
however, his Lordship ran little risk, - for
Mr. LOWE writes in the Times under in
struction, and subject to revision ; and Mr.
WALTER, the principal owner of that Mer,
joined in - the Vote of censure, upon
,Mr,
LOWE, and may not be much grieved at hiS
friend's ambition being checked, Mr. LoWt
was what is called- -" an -ill-Conditioned
man ;" dictatorial, and sometimes tyran
nical in office; testy and satirical hi
Parliament ; and cherishing, since- PAL
3IERSTON!S reconstruction of the Minis
try, in June, 1859; the . unconcealed diSsatis
faction of baffled ambition because he, who
was then only a few . years in the legisla- -
lure, was not invited to one of the highest
places in the Cabinet. We suspect that his
ejection from office has contributed to PAL
IMMISTON'S peace of mind.
Consequent upon these 'leading changes
has been the transfer of certain minor offi
cers—chiefly under-secretaries of depart
mends, Five of these had seats in the HOuse
of Conunous, where Mr. DIsnAELT lately
stated, with the grsvity of tam. - Who had
made a surprising discoverY, that, under a
forgotten statute, passed JIM 'reign of
Queen ANNE, only fouP gecretaries could
simultaneously sit in the CoMmons ; adding
that, as the last appointed of the- five; the
Marquis of Hartington (tire nobleman : who
exhibited such questionable taste in Wear
ing -a Secession badge at a ptiblic:ball in
New York), had acted illegally, and there
by forfeited his seat. Lord PALmtERSTON
referred the subject to a committee of in
vestigation, whose report is that the seat
was not forfeited—thereby declaring that
Mr. DISRAELI had found a mare's nest.
Pending the inquiry,
:Mr. T. G. BARING
resigned the office of linder-Seeretary of
State for -India, going to the :Home OffiCe,
and Lord PALMERSTON has grefitly , strength- .
ened himself by appointing Lord
ROUSE in his place.
Lord WODETIOUSE, though Only
{tight years old, is one of the most promis
ing of British statesmen. His Vniyersity
career was highly distinguished: :He suc
ceeded to the peerage at the age of twenty,
.and having taken hi seat in the House of
lords, rejected the lt4editary Tory politicS
-of his family, and joined-the Liberal party.
Speaking seldom but well, he established
so respectable a character, that on the forma
tion of Lord ABEIIDEN7I3 ministry, in
December, 1852, when Mord CLMtENDON
- became Foreign Secretary, Lord WOW
:frousE took office as his Under-Secretary,
.and they workod together : throughout the
-quarrel with Russia, to the, close of the
!sanguinary- war which ensued. In April,
:1856, Lord :WODEnouSE went On a special
iembassy.to St. Petersburg, to renew the
TrfAitions between England and Russia,
and succeeded in his negotiatiOns:- 'When
the second Derby-Disraeli ministry was
formed, in: the'-spring of . 1801, he was re-
Called, and resumed-his . place in the
oppo
sition, leading the attaclt, on the Lords, on
the :do-nothing foreign policy of the Tory
GuYernment. In 1859, when PitziplisToti:
10.ccame,Premier, he .restored Lord WOOF,-
gLOVOU `to _Ws former - position as FOreigal,
Under-Secretary, and ono of his earliest
duties was to announce the conclusion of
peace between the Emperors of France and
Austria, after the Italian,witr. Some time
ago Lord WODETIOUSE resigned office, but
has again consented to serve under the
veteran Premier as Under-Secretary of State
for India. With his ability, and his un
usually great experience (for so young a
man), Lerd WoliEnousn may be con
si4red as not Unlikely, in the course of
years; to arrive at - the distinction and re
sponsibility of yet being head of the Go
vernment. -
The retirement of the Duke of New
castle, Who latterly was a cipher in his
office ; the taking of Mr. CARDWELL, from
that Sleepy Hollow, the Duchy of LancaS
ter, and making him Colonial Secretary ;
the removing, Lord CLARENDON from the
shelf to put him. into the Cabinet as a
working man; the ejection of Mr. LOWE
from office ; and the calling Lord WODE
HOUSE into active duty, must tend •to
strengthen the Palmerston Government.
So much so, indeed, that tho Ugh the Oppo
sition arc probably strong enough to carry a
hostile vote in the Commons, it is doubtful
whether Mr: DISRAELI will permit them to
do it, seeing that the only issue would be
general election, which, at all events, will
rake place:next autumn. Gitr interests, we
repeat, are at present Mixed up with Lord
PALMERSTON'S continuance in power. He
is friendly to us; his succesSor would be
hostile - . '1
The SailitAry Coinmission.
The great day is coming: Mr. VV . :laza
announces it will be the seventh day in
June—from this time fifteen clays distant.
Fifteen days ! It seems to be a very long
time, and many impatient men and women
count over their fingers as eagerly as bride
grooms, It is. certainly a very - short time
when we look at our forlorn Logan Square,
and the long, narrow buildings that cover
it, The mortar is still soft, the lumber is
securely nailed, and the noise of hammer
and saw and trowel has hushed the warbling
and humming of the birds. Has Mr.'WELsir
the magic power to bid these sticks and
stones arise and fashion themselves ? He
- gives himself a short • time for the task, but
he has all of our confidence and we low
that having published this'purpose, he will
accomplish it, and on the seventh of June the
great Fair will be onened
Everybody is talking about the Fair, and
in fashionable circles we find it associated
with the. last new bonnet, and in literary
circles with Mr. Dicx.F.Ns' coming novel
and Mr. BoitEiVs'coming volume of poems.
We have determined to postpone the sea-
SOIL' We—we, the happy ten thousand,- - -
shall keep our new styles for the opening
day; our new dresses of hoMe-made stuffs
and . our new raiment of, hoine- T spun cloth:
We shall delay our country' trips, our pro
posed excursions to Nahant and Cresson,
and, instead of, an exodus in May from
dust and noise to - green grass and good
butter, we shall remain in the horrid town.
until June. All for the Sanitary Fair ; fOr
now that- we are patriotic, it shall be a
princely, magnificent, self-denying patriot
ism. We have determined not only, to
cel everybody else; but - to excel ourselves.
New York .has beaten everybody; we -
must beat . New York. Her figures are
before us—one million one hundred thou.-
sand dollara—and we : must surpass ,
theth. Nothing can -be more readily
done, if -we make up our- mind to do
it. Philadelphia_ alone can give - a
Million, and our-suburbs are good for at
least half the sum, in addition. Laneaster.
and Chester will certainly do a good .part..
Away up in the western shore, along - the
rich Susquehanna and the romantic
niata, in the dark - and grim mining . dis
' triets, and the new- El Dorado _ of petro
letim, the peeple are counselling and acting .
- 1 and carrying on the good work. What "do
'we hear? -- HoW much is given? Come,
gentlemen, there are but fifteen days—fif
teen brief days, and the Fair Will open.
How much from coal and iron? You have
become rich under this- Constithtion, and a
Union *hese downfall would be your utter
ruin. How much from oil ? Certainly a
good contribution. You have been`busy
and fortunate in these latter weeks. You
' have made money and fame; and even-now
rule the stock exchange. You ,propose to .
advance farther and farther, and: to sup
plant iron and cOal, ay, as some of your en
thusiastic friends declare, even gold and_
silver, with your.' wealth and enterprise.
--
How Much will you, give to the Sanitary
Fair?: Let the per centagehe ever so small
of the many thonsands you have- gained
and put away, we shall accept it gladly, for
it will be among our largest contributions.
These arc all doing nobly, and gentler
thoughts associate themselves with the
Sanitary Fair. After all, the women have
the Fair in charge; and -we must look to
them. They are very quiet, rmd, con.sider
ing they are women, very " - reticent. What,
are 'they doing? Does anybody know ?
What great - surprise have theyin store for
us ? What are they discussing in, that
carpeted corner room -in Logan Square ?
—the room . with' n 'No admittance '' on the
door , and to which our most adventurous
and enterprising reporter has failed to en
ter. Do they drink tea, - or is it .possible
that all the vast interests of this .great Fait.
are. managed without this necessary ad-
junct of manly parliaraentarianism ? Who
presides ? Is it a " Mr." President, or a
":Mrs." President, or, more charming still,
a " Miss"'President ? For once we are cu
lions, and hopeful, and resigned. - Our
hopea, after all,: are in that corner room. It
contains secrets ; for- these women are ter
ribly in earnest, and intend that this Fair
shall be the grandest affair in the land-; so:
that men will write of it and remember it ;-
and old men, now bright-eyed children,
wilYspeak of it far on in other years ; as
old men speak of the Meschianza, or the
great display attending the.adoption of the
Federal Constitution in 178 S, a display
which teipinated very near the site to be
honored:by the Sanitary -Fair. We' give
them our own- sympathy and assistance.
We are with:the women in this cause, and
shall give them all possible aid. All we
need say to our friends is to hasten, for the
days are brief and ranch' remains to be
done. Let all who have to give, give
speedily, and when the curtain rises on the
seventh of June we shall see what we
shall see.
TITE New Nation belongs to aclass whose
loyaltyis: so Superfine they can see nothing
but disloyalty .in Mr. LnccoLN and : his
friends: :We.alWays respect:those *lio.aie
so, intensely and . progressively right that
their zeal outruns their discretion,; but
this can hardly be said of the New Nation.
While it denounces all friends ' of the Ad
ministratiOn, it tells us frankly, in speaking
of:the World, the great organ. of COpper- .
headiam and- disloyalty, that it is 'Fable,
and we often. find Much in its columns with
ichielt we not only 'sympathize but are eqi- .

his own friends, and he has none More

not desire the.acbrocacy of those - who find

THE E%-PRESIDENT, FRANKLIN :FLEECE,
has written a letter to a friend in reference
to the sudden death of Mr. HAWTHORNE at
Plymotith. , , Arr. PIERCE says "Mr. HAW
THORNE lies, upon his side; his position so
perfectly nature] and easy, his eyes closed,
that it is difficult to realize, while looking
upo - ri his - noble face, that this is death. He
must :have passed from natural slumber to
that from which there is: no waking with
out the slightest movement." There is
Something in the death of Mr. ll.A.wrnoincz
that sadly suggests that of Mr. THAOKERAY,
:whose idejoarture so recently preceded his
own. :
ONE by one they are coming back to the
fold. JEEEMIAIE CLEMENS, an eminent son
of 'Alabama,
,formerly a Senator' in Con
gress, and an enemy of Secession until
Treagon swept him away, is now in YiraSh
ington. He is
~ said to be anxious for the
return of Alabamajo the . Union—an event
that will soon be'..accomplished, if SHER
xicii keeps on his tinn - Wring 13:argil,
Our National Debt.
Mr. WENDIML Purr:Jars, in one of his
recent elegant rhetorical sophistries, made
the assertion that " the ilkole debt of the
country—national, State, county, and town
obligations—would, if the war closed to
morrow, amount to half the property of
the nation." As this is .one - of the most
mischievous assertions a speaker can make,
and one that will d i o us much injury if al
lowed to pass unnoticed, the charge should
be examined. The Boston Transcript
makes this admirable reply :
The taxable (spode) value of thO property of tho
United States in,1860 was sixteen thousand one hun
dred and liftyLnine millions of dollars. Deducting
from this amount the valuation of Arkansas, Tea
nessee, and Louisiana., as well as that of Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Mississipi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia, and the result
will be, for the loyal States, c r ier - on thousand in
lions of dollars. -
Tho public debt of the United States on May 14th
was $1,730,870,050, of which $508,300,300 bears no in
terest. The following table compiled by the author •
of a book entitled "The Philanthropic Results of
the War," exhibits the amounts_ paid by States,
loans, &c., as well as those given by . lndivid oats :
Amount expended by States, not reimbursed or guaran
teed to bo reimbursed by the General Go-
verument 1310,937,823 59
Bounties, extra pay, Stc 47,585,500 81
Contributed by cities, towns, &c., for rais
ing regiments 34,230,000 00
Bounties and aid to volunteers by towns,
&c - 72,752,824 43
State contributions for sick and wounded
soldiers 816,041 00
Contributions of States to National defences 13,040,1100 . 00
Contributions by individuals to National
defences, 1,000,000 00
Private contributioneto the care anal com
fort of soldiers through societies 24,044,865 91
Conti ibutions from abroad 380,140 71
Contributions for, freedmen; sufferers in
riots, ,ke 689,614 13
'Making in all the sum or $212,27.1;259.45—0ver two
hundred and twelve millions of dollars.
This amount, added to the national debt, makes a
sum of about one thousand nine hundred and forty
mil lions.
If we call the whole debt two thousand millions,
it is less than one-fifth of the taxable value of the
loyal States in 1300, and less than the taxable value
of the property of two States alone—Ohio and Massa
chusetts—at that time: The whole national' debt,
on the 14th of May, was not so large, by a hundred
millions of dollars, as the valuation, on a specie
bitsis,'of the State of New York in 1860.
In regard to the actual destruction of capital
which the debt represents, we must remember that,
leaving out the very largo amount which may be
considered to be only prematurely invested in ship's,
fortifications, and military and naval materials, a
considerable proportion of the money remains in
the hands of our people in the shape of profits, and
affects merely the distribdtion and not the existence
of the nation's wealth. We will not venture to say
how much, from these two considerations alone,
would have to - be deducted from the debt to get at
the amount of capital which has been really sunk in
the war.
When the contest began, it was estimated that
the surplus income of the people of the free States
was- four hundred millions of dollars a year, and
there can be no doubt that this has been greatly in
creased since 1861. The surplus income, alter all
the expenses of individuals have been paid, is what
enables a people to sustain a war. The relation of
the interest on the debt to this surplus income,
taking it at the estimate of four hundred millions,
is about one to six, forty-seven millions of-the inte
rest being payable in gold, and about twenty mil
lions in currency.
. From these figures it will be seen hew far from,
the fact is the assertion that the nation's debt
amounts to half the valuation of the property: of
the country. . ,
WE. rfAirF. read no More comprehensive
and masterly summing up of the reasons
that should lead a loyal man to support Mr.
LL3ccour for re-election than those given by
ILEI.TRY WARD BEECHER
" In consideration of the present exigency ; in view
of Mr. 'Lincoln's past Administration,. the wisdom
he has-shown'; the moral purity of the ;man; the
great confidence which the people put in him ; the
Gan g er which there would be; if he were set aside,
of having it regarded as a popular rebuke of his
policy, and the confidence that I feel that though
long in learning, he has learned to govern, I am full
and strong in my conviction that he should be our
next President."
These words, from one of the: most illus
trious and gifted friends of freedomin .the
land, will create a deep impression. Mr.
BEECHER and Mr. GmuusoN arc true friends
of negro freedom. They are practical, far
seeing men. They have the statesmanship
of common sense, a quality that seems to
have abandoned other - men of their party,
including Mr. FOSTER, Mr. REDPATTI, and

WASHINGTON, May 22.—The following despatch
has been received by the Navy Department:
Hon. Gideon Welies, Sicrelary of Navy:
I have just received a letter from Lieut. Com
mander Breese, dated at the mouth of Black river,
111ay..15, 1864. He writes as follows :
"This morning a bearer of despatches from Banks
arrived at Fort De Russey, who says when he left,
one gunboat was coming over the falls, and' it was,
currently believed that all would, get over. He
knew nothing more. I have information from a re
liable source that the dam has been completed, and
we may soon expect to hear that all the iron-clads
are over."
I have also received a communication from the
United States bark Ethan Allen, blockading off
Murrill's Inlet, S. C., of the destruction of value,.
ble salt works near that place. Information was
given by contrabands of the location of the works,
which were at a place called OanePitch, twelve
miles from the inlet. Upon reaching the works atk
armed crew was sent ashore who succeeded in de
stroying them and burning the buildings. Expen
sive arrangements had been made for extending the
works to double their original size. The pans were
of, cast iron and easily broken. Thole were four
works each containing twelve large pans, the water
being raised from the beach by •horse power, and
being led into a cistern large enough to contain
100,090 gallons of water.
All the salt found was effectually destroyed, by
mixing with sand.
While returning to their station, a man was taken
off the coast who, made signals to the Allen. Ho
gave his name as Allen Jones, of North Carolina,
and was a commissary in the rebel army.
Communications have also been received from the
commanding °Meer of the Pawnee, who says the
expntlition sent up the St. john's river, Florida,
tinder the command 'of General Birney, has been
Very successful. 'They did not, however, meet the
enemy, who are supposed to have crossed at Fort
Yates to the east - side of the St. John's river. One
thousand head of cattle were captured, with some
horses and other valuable property. The expedi
tion had not returned to Jacksonville at the last
adVices; but was expected soon to do so, by way of
St. Augustine.

The Pope I the Sanitary Commis , ilOn—
A Donation of Five Hundred Doctors.
Prom the following it will be soon that amparal
contribution has been received by the Goners "Aid
Society in Buffalo from the Pope :
BuPtenr.o, May 17, Mit
MADAM: The Sovereign Pontlii, Poo Pius
through his Eminence, Cardinal llarnabo, no
tified me that, with the deepest sorrow, and with the
most fraternal interest, helms heard of the number
of gallant soldiers wounded in our many battles,
and that he desires me to give, in his name, and out
of his private purse, 11500, as seine aid to alleviate
their sufferings.
Your truly providentially orghnized society has
done very much to aid our wounded soldiers, hence
it seems to me that there can be no bettor means of
acoomplishlng the kind and paternal wish of his
Ugliness than to and over to you this chock for
1600, with my humble And fervent prayers that
God's blessing any not only rest on our gallant
wounded soldiers, but also on the honored members

The Forged Proclamation—Arrest of the
Forger.
NEW Yonk, May 21.—1 t turns out that I. How
ard, Jr., city editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, is the
person who forged the proclamation, and procured
its insertion in as many of the city newspapers as
he succeeded in duping:'- Ile has acknowledged the
fact, and was sent down last evening to - Fort La
fayette. He says he had no other Motive except to
make a little money on the Stock Exchange, and
that it never occurred to him that his performance
could produce any more important or serious ef
fect.
It seems that something like a week ago Howard
consulted M r. Kent, a member of the firm of Kent Sr
Clapp, brokers, as to the probable effect upon the
market of a proclamation calling for 300,000 more
men. Mr. Kent gave him his opinion, and subse
quently Howard showed him tbe draft of a proeta
mation, which be claimed to kneW; through secret
channels of intelligence at Washington, was about
to be issued. After the publication in the Wo . rlll. and
Journal of Commerce on Welinesday morning, Mr.
Rent at once identified the published proclamation
with the draft which Howard had shown him, and
gave information of theeircumstance to Gen. Dix.
Howard was arrested and brought to the General's
headquarters yesterday afternoon, where he at once
made a full acknowledgment of his agency in the
matter, and exculpated all the newspapers which ,
he succeeded in victimising, from any connection with
it, directly or indirectly.
Howard had been connected in various capacities
with several of the city newspapersthe Times and
Tribune among them; and had thus acquired ,a
knowledge of their routine of business, which was
of service to him in this imposition upon them. •
Francis A. Mallison, a reporter of the Brooklyn
Eagle, was arrested at half-past-nine o'clock this
morning, by Detectives Young, Radford, and Mc-
Dougal.
Mallison is charged with writing in manifold the
copies of the pretended proclamation of the'Presi
dent which Howard had drawn.
It is alleged that Dlallison received the draft of
the proclamation from Howard, with a request to
see that copies were delivered at the newspaper
offices in this city.
The work was performed, and the °fibers will
probably lind the boy who carried the copies he had
made.
He was arraigned before General Dix l and willbe
fully examined.
HOWARD TH - THE PORT-HIS - ACCOUNT TO TRH. IX-
Howard was taken to_ Port Lafayette kst night,
and locked in one of the loweecells. He said little
on his antral, further than that " flue telegraphers
would be released."
This morning one of the inmates; desiring to know
upon what charge their new companion was incar
cerated, intimated his wish to Mr. Howard, who re
plied that he "was arrested because he put some
thing in his paper (the Brooklyn Eagle) about the
proclamation.'
Society at the fort, which is; in a peculiar sense,
exclusive, and which assumes to decide on the re
spectability of the crime committed by persons who
enter it, is unfavoiable to Mr. Howard.
His ease was discussed in advance; and it was de
cided that whoever wrote the proclamation thus in
juring the World and Journal of Commerce, should
not receive their countenan& and support; if he
were sent among them. As a consequence Mr.
Howard is not, for the present at lcast,to be admitted
to the "iness”.which the elect, who may be able
to support, are allowed to form. .
Therefore, until Mr. Howard can ConvinCe the
company that! his act was performed with the pur
pose of aiding the cause for which they, according
to their own theory, are"made martyrs, and not "(if
injuring the World and Jourhal of Commerce, they
will consider that his crime Is highly . venal and con
temptible, and will refusehiMtheir association and
.
sympathy. - . -
The Care of the Wounded
• WASHINGTON, May 20, MI.
John F. Seymour, Esq., General State Agent cif iCew
Sin: Haying just returned from Fredericksburg,
where I have been for ten days past, I take pleasure
in answering your inquiries relative to the condition
of the wounded.
as to numbers, Di. MeFarlan, Medical DI.:
rector of the Army of the Potomac, assured me two :
days since that nineteen thousand would cover all
the wounded since the movementof the army. 'From
Dr. Dalton, Medical Director at Fredericksburg,l
learn that at no time haye the wounded in that ety
exceeded= six thousand, and most of the time but
little over five thousand. Of course, these num
bers are large, but far less than reports thus far
would lead us to suppose. '
As to the care of the wounded, at no time have the
wants of the wounded been more promptly met by the
Government and the various commissions. If there
has been suffering among the wounded at Fredericks
burg from want of supplies, as there undoubtedly has,
it has arisen-more from want of , knowledge how to
procure theih andfrom lack of medical officers than
from any deficiency in supplies. My hospital of 120
patients was opened on Wednesday,May llamong
the first of those by el viliansand from an hour after
the entry of the wounded they have not wanted for
all necessaries and luxuries. Eaeh day all the men
have had coffee, beef, tea, farina, milk punch seve
ral times, soft bread, and butter, and solid ra,
tions - in abundance to those who - could take them.
In my judgment, the great want there at present is
young men as dressers, or young physicians, who
will go through the long service of dressing wounds
and attending to the minor wants. Of mere nurses
there seemed anample number. Few civilians will
continue uninterruptedly to perform the actual
labor necessary for this purpose, and liberaidetail
rem the army has been made. In addition to the_
abundant medical and other Supplies furnished by
the Government, the viriouscommissions and State
agencies are on the ground (Wog all In their power.
The volunteer surgeons sent to Fredericksburg by
'the Governor of New 'York have .been some of the
most talented and experienced in the profession,
and in number exceeding that of any other State.

WASHINGTON, May 22-10 P. M.
To Major General Dix, New York :
On Friday evening General Grant commenced' a
movement for the- purpose of compelling, Leo to
abandon his position at Spottsylvania, the details of
which, for obvious reasons, should not be made pub
lib. It has thus far progressed successfully. Long
street's corps started south at one o'clock- on Friday
night. An hour and a half after, Hancock moved.
"Emell's corps followed Longstroet last night.
This indicates that the rebel army has fallen back
beyond the North Anna. Hoke's brigade has joined
Lee. The movement of General Grant has thus
far been accomplished without any severe engage
ment or serious interruption. We now occupy
Guinney , s Station, Milford Station, and south of
the Mattapony on that-line.

THURSDAY'S FIGHTING
The New "York Herald correspondent, writing
from headquarters bth Corps, May 19, 11 P. ikE.,
A change made in the disposition of our troops,
last night, left several heavy artillery regiments
this morning on the extreme, right of our line.
These regiments comprised the Ist Massachusetts;
Col. Tannott ; 15th Isiew. York, Col. Ackerman; 2d
New York:, Col. Palmer; 6th New York, Lieut. Co!.
Travis, and a battalion of the 4th New 'York, under
command of Major Arthur, the whole under com
mand of Col. Kitchings, Although organized as
heavy artillery, these regiments, it will be under
stood, are doing service as infantry. Two battalions
of the 6th New York, and a battalion of the 15th
New York, were deployed as skirmishers.
There was slight.skirmishing all day, the opposing
pickets not being as friendly by any means as on
other portions of our line.
At 4 P. N. the enemy made a quick and - sudden
dash in force to turn the right. Our men fell back
across an open field into the edge of- some pine
Woods, and there made a stand. Here followed a
terrific interchange of volleys of musketry. Several
attempts were made to: drive our bbys back, but
against the charging columns our men 'stood firmly,
and by the coolness and steadiness Of their fire re
sisted their further advance each time. At length
It was thought best to make a charge on our side,
which resulted in driving the enemy across this
open field. Our men took position behind a rail
fence,
and kept the enemy completely at bay.
Just before dark some batteries were placed in
position in the refuel' our column, and did splendid
service in the showers of shell- and shrapnel sent
into the enemyls ranks. His position was sack that
he could not use artillery against us. Some rebel
sharpshooters concealed themselves in and around
some old negro huts in the vicinity, but were soon
driven out. Lieutenant Colonel Travis took a rifle
from a:private and ended the career of one of them,
a species - of rifle practice successfully imitated by
Olptoin Hall, of the same regi . ceat.
Failing to turn the right, an effort was made to
got in on the loTt flank, but this attempt as signally
tailed. Night found our forces holding_ the ground
they occupied in the morning. They hold the posi
tion still .•
About-7 o'clock, General Griffin's and General
Crawford's divisions of this .corps wore given posi
tions to aid in repelling the attacks of the enemy;
but had no occasion to fire a gun.
Seine of the Ist, 4th, and Bth Maryland regiments,
just returning from furlough, got into a portion of
the fight. They were coming up the Fredericksburg
road, and when called on rendered most willing and
efficient service.
-The - object of the attack was, of course, to get
possession of the Fredericksburg road; and cut off
our communication •in that direction, besides
tnring our supply trains in the rear. In this at
tempt., finely and desperately as it was made, they
were signally foiled.' Prisoners say that the whole
of EwelPs corps was engaged in this attack.
Our : losses are estimated at about a thousand.
The wounded are now being taken to the oth Corps
hospital•. Among the wounded is Colonel Travis.
He was
,hit by Millie in the groin. The ball
first passed through a bag of tobacco, and this
doubtless saved his life. Major Chamberlain; of the
16th New York, was first, reported killed. He is
Only wounded in the arm, a painful, but not dan
gerous wound. Platt,: of tho 6th
'New York, is mortally, wounded. .A ball Struck
him in the shoulder, and taking a diagonal direc
tion, lodged near the spine.
We have taken fully five hundred prisoners. Our
own captured are very:few.
Many of the - reops belOnglng to the regiments
engaged in this light have never been in action be
fore. - They stood up to their work: -
Colonel Coulter, of the 11th Pennsylvania Re

Allem° of thelnessinz of a heavy force of the enemy
at our front,kat the Half Way House, and a serious
battle, whlelt occurred on the same day, in which
we lost the position we had gained by the advance
toward Bichmend. Or forces came In in good
order, without the loss ofsg ratan after the retreat he
gun. The operation was siilffnily carried out; and,
after four days of fighting, searching, and loss of
sleep, the mon again rested by their camps behind
secure fortifications. Our scouts , were sent out to
watch the movements of the MIMI,. and dining' the'
afternoon two heavy columns of the enemy, wrtir
largo trains, wore observed passing' down - the pike
towards Petersburg. It was conjectured that the
trains wore either carrying supplies for the moving
columns, or they were being sent to IF''etersburg to
be !maid with supplies for Lee's army er the forces
in Richmond. At any rate the captureor destruc
tion of any of the trains was an object vorydeslrable
at the present juncture or rebel affairs, fiat It was
determined to attempt it. General R. S. Foster,
chief of General Gilmere's staff, took commund of
the force, consisting of Onderdenk's mounted rifles,
a lxittalion of the 4th Massachusetts Oavalry,..two
regiments of colored cavalry, and a portion of the
11th Maine Infantry.
General leaner started with his column at about
nine o'clock in the evening, and moved quietly out
to our picket lines, and a fewhundeed yards beyond,
when he halted, stationed pickets on different roads,
to guard against a move to cut irlin off, and then at
tempted to move up the road leading to the pike.
He encountered the rebel pickets in a moment or
two, and attempting to capture them or drive them
off, received a heavy fire from the pickets and a
large rebel force in line of battle behind them. Re
engaged it, but the fire becoming, mare heavy and
from a longer line, he was satisfied at that point the
rebels were in too groat a force to be forced beck or
broken through. Be tried another portion of the
line with the same result, and soon ascertained that
the woods were teeming with rebels, and that Beau
regard was in full force before, our works.
Ho then turned and came into camp, havilig lost
his orderly, killed, and several men wounded. As
the fighting was done in the dark, no one can say
what the rebel loss whs. - It perhaps equaled our
own; The sound of the firing alarmed our camps,
and the men were quickly got under arms and wait
ed results for awhile, when, the cause of the Meg
being known, they again retired. Tho Intelligence
of the presence of the enemy in so large a force in
our immediate front occasioned extraordinary ex
ertions to complete the work on our defences. A
large force wus put on this morning, and have
worked through the day, and will continue to work
all the present night, making ready for whateves
may come.
At daylight this morning the rebels threw out a
heavy line of skirmishers and drove our picket line
within a few hundred yards of the breastworks,
when their advance was checked after a heavy skir
mish. Our pickets were reinforced, and have driven
and . been driven in turn several times during the
day at one or two points of the line. In front of
G en. Ames' I ine the enemy were particularly strong - ,
and brought to their aid some light pieces of artil
lery, which, however, did no damage.
A soldier of the 112th New York was, killed by a
sharpshooter Inside the entrenchments, so near had
the enemy got, on one occiSion. They werespeedily
driven from their position by a vigorous advance of
our pickets and shells from CoMpany E, 3d United
States Artillery, Lieut. Sorger in command. There
has been heavy picket firing all day, but to-night it
seems to have ceased.
The enemy are engaged in throwing up works di
rectly in 'frorit of us, either for the purpose of lay
ing siege to our poSition or to prevent us Trout reach
ing the railroad again to destroy it. They are known
to ne engaged in repairing the: railroad, and may
design only to keep us away from it. But it is gene
rally expected that they will endeavor to carry our
works by assault to-morrow, and gobble or cut-to
pieces our army. We shall be ready for them - at
daylight, and do not doubt our ability to repulse
every ellen they may make. Their force Is placed
at from twenty-five to thirty thousand men. Gen:
Beauregard commands, and.BuShrod Johnsen has
their left wing.
The gunboats under Admiral Lee leave been
shelling the rebels engaged in building a battery on
one of the bluffs at the Seines river, about a mile
and a half from our lines. Thus far they have not
succeeded in their efforts to drivo them from their
works, and it is feared that to-morrow they will hast
their guns in position; commanding the river and of
annoyanchto our lines.

Musical Fund Hall, on Friday evening, when a con
cell: in aid ofthe Sanitary Commission Was given, un
der the-auspices of the eight Scottish Societies. The
audience, largo and appreciative, were so highly
pleased that they encored every piece in the pro 7
gramme. The giving this entertainment was a
suggestion of Mr. Daniel Mclntyre, who efficiently
officiated as Conductor, Mr. R. A. Clark, an excel
lent musician, being pianist.. , He had the advantage
of playing on a very fine instrument—one of Steels's
pianos, lent by Mr. J. E. Gould, corner of Seventh
and Chestnut streets. The performance ought to
have commenced at eight, but it was fall twenty
minutes after time when the drone of the bag-pipes
was heard. Presently Mr. Binney„ the; well-known
Highland piper, entered the hall, playing "The
CaMpbells arc- Coming," and followed" by chief.
tains and clansmen of the Caledonian Club, in fall
national costumekilt and eagle-feathered bon
net, philabeg, and • all. • They walked up the
hall, and took their seats upon the stage amid
thunders of applause. Of the female vocalists first.
We had not previously heard Mrs. C. A. Mullen,
but she evidently is a lady whose fine Take and mu
sical knowledge admirably qualify her
. for the con-
cert room. She -is well known as a fine singer of
sacred music. On Friday evening she showed her
self equally capable in the miscellaneous depart-
ment, and it would be difficult to decide whether her
serious or her lively singing is the best. Miss-Ma
tilda Shill, who has been brought forward at the
Scottish concerts, is only sixteen years old, but has a
voice so good and a manner se dramatic that if care
be taken of her musical education, she bids fair, one
day, to take her place among our best native singers.
She sang Hogg's well-known ballad, " When the
)lye Come name," with especial effect, relieving
the sentiment 'by a little archness. Mr. Thomas
Bishop, well-known and, highly-valued as our best
concert-singer, and also as a successful teacher,
gave "John And , erson, my-. Jo," with a sweet
ness and tenderness all his own. Mr. George
Simpson, from New York, with a delightful
voice and chermibg manner, fully sustained the re
putation he blade here on a former occasion, at
Gottschalk's concerts, and appears familiar with
Scottish ballads, which he delivers with that sim
plicity which makes them effective. The other vo
calists were Mr. Alexender•Bobb, Mr. T. E. Har
kins, Mr. Thome§ Duncan, Jr., and Mr: James
Taylor. "Auld Lting Syne" was sung, with a full
chorus, and to the Star-Spangled Banner, which
appropriately closed the performances,-the whole
audience sang the chorus. A novelty in this con
cert was "The Starry nag of Liberty," a new na
tional song, with a splendid chorus, sang by Miss
Shill, Mr. Thomas Duncan, and Mr. Daniel Mcln
tyre. We predict that this will become very popu
lar. Music and poetry were composed by John Hill
yer, Esq., of New York:"
COLLEGE Soxas.- - =A concert of college songs
will be given this evening atthe hall of the Univer
sity by the Glee Club, composed of students of the
institution. The proceeds are for the Sanitary
Fair. Thelprice of tickets is fifty cents, and they
Can be obtained of J. E. Gould, Ashmead & Evans,
and at the Hall to-night.
This is the first concert of college music ever
given in this city, ansl there is no music mom melo
dious and beautiful, although very simple. The air
of the rebel song "Maryland" - is that of an old
student song " Lauriger Horatius," and had been
sung at colleges years before the rebels appro
.
printed it. The student version, with many other
choruses and quartets, will be sung to-night.

CITY ITJEMS.
Wi trNow THAT Wheeler & Wilson's highest pre
mium sowing machines are the best, simplest, and
cheapest. -These unequalled machines are adapted
to every variety of sewing for
_family wear, from
the lightest muslins to the heaviest cloths. They
work equally well upon silk, linen, woolen, -and
cotton goods, with silk, cotton, or linen thread
They will seam, quilt, gather, hem, fell, cord, braid.
bind, and perform every species of sewing, making
a beautiful and perfect stitch, alike on both sides of
the article sewed. 150,000 of the celebrated Wheeler
& Wilson machines have been sold ; 5,000 are In use
in Philadelphia. Every meehine warranted, and
the money returned if not entirely satisfactory. We
advise our readers to go to Wheeler `& Wilson's
salesrooms, 704 Chestnut street, above Seventh, and
examine these wonderful machines.
er 1 Trflt: " FLORENCE."—Among - the various
Sewing Machines now in the tnarket, the
"Florence" is emphatically the queen. Every one
who examines it is delighted with the manner In
which it performs, and the wonderful range it pos
sesses for all kinds of sewing. No one should think
of buying a Sewing Machine without visiting 630
Chestnut street, and examining the "Florence."
It is the only machine sold that is warranted to give
satisfaction, or the money refunded to the pur
chaser.
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. His stock of
Gentlemen's Furnishing Goods, of his own exclu
siVe manufacture and importation, is , also the
choicest in the city, and his prices are moderate.
THE RECENT SPURIOUS PRIVIAMATION, the per
petrator of which has been ferreted out, is causing
no small amount of comment. If this be true of
spurious things, what must we say about an article
as genuine as Alter's Coal, sold at 935 North Ninth
street? Why, that it is the beat and cheapest Coal
in the city. Try it.
LADII:S' 'WALKING HATS AND FASHIONABLE
SPRING BowNETs.—Messrs. Wood & Cary, 725
Chestnut street, have just received a fresh Importa
tion of English Walking Hats for ladies and misses.
Their new styles Spring Bonnets are also universal
favorites.
AN Crn-Trsrms DANDY.—A dandy of forty years
ago cut a ridiculous figure: coat fitting him as
tight as the shell fits the egg, with a collar which
eternally threatened to shove off the hat of the
wearer; short waist,. swallow tail, etc. These
were the most striking peculiarities of an old-times
dandy. How strong is the contrast between such
an uncouth "rig as this and the elegaut,graceful,
becoming, durable, and healthful suits that are
made at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rock
hill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 60.5 Chestnut street,
above Sixth.

days for defending clothes from the ravaging raids
of moths is Cedar Camphor, a facture by Harris &
Chapman, of Boston, and fora sale by any good
druggist. •
IF YOU WANT TORE A. " SWELL" of the first water,
get the dropsy. If you would preserve your health
on the one hand, and dress well and economically
on the other, buy your clothes at the-fashionable
store of Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut.

In Longfellow's Poem Hiawatha was adjudged to
have conferred the greatest boon on his tribe because

WHAT THE HIAWATHA DOES.
It restores faded - and gray hair
. and whiskers to their
original color. It brings up 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, stop[
its falling out, cleanses it and the scalp from all impa.
cities, 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, &a.
The proprietors of the Hiawatha published the fol
lowing challenge to test in the New York dailies three
