Vrtss. WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1864 THE WAR. Our unofficial telegrams give us hut scant detail of the present movement of General Gnnivr, but this brief news is full of signi ficance, and we may believe its assurance that Richmond is now nearer to being cap tured than ever, and that our forces have relaxed neither energy nor enthusiasm. General HANCOcK, on the 21st, had driven 18,000 of the enemy through Milford, and at last accounts was seven miles south of Bowling Green, and had occupied the bridge over the Mattapony. General Buy- LEn holds his position ably; and doubtless finds it more eco`nomical to repulse.than to assail the enemy, Who bury their dead un der a flag of truce. The Official gazette gives us fulfillment of the promise indicated in the news to which we have alluded. LEE has sus 7 ; tained a signal defeat upon the North Anna ricer, and is now fully believed to be retreating upon Richmond. The point at which the last battle took place, is :within the innhedlate angle of the railroads from what was called: Saxton's : Junc 7 Junc tion, : and LEp has been effectively turned from another position, sus . taining a terrible 1 loss by assault upon WitunEE's Corps; and meeting chastise ment almost as severe from the impetuous charge of lIANcocE. Our own losses-have been much leSs than those of the enemy, and the prisoners taken are numerous. While speculation of Gen. Gn.k*r! s ope rations is suspended, criticism, we think, should be modest. We deprecate the queS, tiouable taste Of attempting to criticise the preSent campaign upon instinct. Instinct made Sir JOHN FALSTAFF a coward,- and there is equal danger to the military critic ambitious to :deny that GeIL.GRANT haS achieved a victory. Yet our lately-esta blished cotemporary,.the New Nation, has made it a special business to endeavor to reduce the Lieutenant General, by sloW siege, .at a , distance which out-GtEmonE's GILMORE—from New York to Spottsylva- Whether this critic be a French captain or a civilian, the policy of criticising a campaign in advance has little claim - to se rious consideration. Otherwise, it is un fortunate that Gen. GnAwr's special censor had not the opportunity of making a criti cism. of Vicksburg before it was taken, instead of a year afterward. What, if having shown the folly of attempting to take Richmond, he should give us another such "Vicksburg criticism after Richmond is taken ? We submit that -it is best -to whit, and measure all'things by results, Tile Campaign in Louisiana. The latest arrival from New Orleans brings us the gratifying information that General BANKS has succeeded in extricating his army from its embarrassing position , on the Red river. .The town 'of Alexandria . had b6en evacuated ; and a Portion of it burned. AdmiralTenrEn had withdrawn his gunboats, their relief having been ma naged by a contrivance of an officer of the army, and he is now on the Upper General CANBY was at the mouth of the Red river, endeavoring to relieve DarrEs, and for purpose massing a large body of troops. In the meantime BArtss was about to march across the State of Louisiana from the Red to the Missis sippi river and: there effect a junction with the general who is hereafter to have command of his iriap r ortant army. 'This will probably end the campaign against Shreveport We have not taken any "part in the:Many little and antri7 dis cessions it has caused, for we desired to learn the' whole truth in reference to the campaign. Our confidence in General BANKS, - and the admiration We have always felt for - him, cannot be shaken by the de nunciations:of the-disloyal and dissatisfied press. It is not often that a mark. so dis tinguished as the Commander of the Gulf is open to the shafts of denunciation and ridicule. The military misfortune on the Red river is made the text for all manner of censure and condemnation. We are asked to believe that, from the beginning, the career of General BANKS has been a failure ; that his administration of the affairs in the -Department of the Gulf has been in every respect a departure from the true policy of the Administration and the principles nvolved in our cause. Some men ..haVe gOne: so far as to say that: ih. this: recent campaign General BANKs' was merely carrying out a Cotton specula lion. We: have foolish stories about : long trains of eMpty wagons forthing a part of the; trains,. with winch it was intended to• carry cotton'frotn : Shreveport to Alexan dria; • To listen to the censures now filling - - • the columuS of many newspapers, this N. YUANIEi P. BANKS, so.much : beloved not many weeks • ago, and se popular that multitudes shouted his -name as that of a great leader, and were pfond to be called his 'friends and partisans, is the most lamen table failure of the AdministratiOn. We do not think so ; and now that all that pos sibly can be imagined has been said against General BANKS, we desire to say a word in his faver.: We admit that the campaign in Lou isiana has been a failure ; that we have lost men and money and national prestige. General BANKS was in command, and, as all the honors of success would have been worn by him, he must accept the penalties of failure. This general rule governs all men, and in this case we can make no ex ception. At the same time, do our readers know the nature of a campaign in. Louisi ana ? We have lately been made familiar with a small patch of trees on the banks of the Rappahannock river called " Thc.Wil derness." It is so dense and crowded that, in our recent battles, General GRANT was linable to use his cannon Or .his cavalry, and was compelled to drive LEE'S great army into the Open country beyond at the point of the bayonet, where he might use his great guns and bis horsemen. The Wilderness is but, a small tract of ground, not more than ten miles square. Yet General BANKS, in his cam paign against Shreveport, was compelledlo march for hundreds of miles into a country as intricate and bewildering as " the Wil derness," ivithout proper roads, through a bairn country, and without forage or water for the army. If General BANKS had been successful, he might have reached the clear, fruitful, and well-,watered country surrounding Caddo Lake,- and the upper counties of the Red river, where his army could have subsisted, and received succor from the gunboats. He failed, and then it was that so many disadvantages combined to overwhelm hitt'. He was attacked very suddenly on the Sth of April. The attack was a surprise. A soldier as eminent as General FRANKLIN,_ and totally free from the misfortunes of being a civilian' and not a graduate of West Point, was se cond in command of the expedition, and, until the hour almost when the attack began, the actual commander of the march ing army. .Then General BANKS took command.. The mismanagement which carried an army into tIM woodS, and had it so' arranged that when the attack was xuade:i smaller force, was strong enough to beat it in detail, does not altogether seem tube the fault of a general who had barely time to arrive on - the field and take actual and personal command before the thunders of an assailing enemy were filling the air. It was a surprise ; and 'although as much valor was shown as had ever been known before, it was in vain. The army was compelled to fall back. A 'second battle was necessary to retrieve the disaster of this surprise, and the battle of Pleasant Hill we know to have been one of the sharpest and most successful battles of the war. It was too late. The tide had turned, and there in that vast wilderness this brave but unfortunate army was compelled to re treat for nearly fifty miles to a base on the banks of a narrow and treacherous river. This miSfortnne made the retreat of the navy, and of the forces of General STEELE, a necessity, All the country so recently taken was abandoned, and the campaign - was at an end. The Administration did a proper thing. 'in removing a general whose misfortunes were of such a character as to impair the confideuee of his arrny. We do not cen - - sure this ; but we_ do say that this removal does not end the case of General BANKs With the nation. We regard that officer: as an unfortunate commander, but we are far from abandoning that confidence in him which his whole career has inspired. In the:management of the vast interests com mitted to his care in Louisiana and , Tekas General BANKS has shOwn a high order of statesmanship. Men may say that the regulations in reference to the negroes are but another form of returning them to .shivery. This is Merely 'rePeating a pert slander of the London Times: The negro hag had no truer' friend aad freedom no more determined and self denying champion than Gen: BANKS ; and in no 'departMent has the new system of labor, and the many grave questions aris ing out of it, been managed With more genius and forethought than by him. The return of LOnisiana to. the Union, the pro gress of Union sentiment; the reviving commerce of the Mississippi, the rapid pro greSs towards a new and More perivanent prosperity, ' all show 'that this commander has never failed in the effort to do his duty. This being his record, we can. afford to be just and generous to Gen.. BANKs—to wait at least until we have heard his own vindi 7 cation. He has served the nation well during, his brilliant and patriotic life, and the nation will not cast him away at the bidding of, disloyal and dissatisfied men, who hate him for his devotion to liberty, the Union, and the policy of the Adminis tration. The .Suppressed Pltipers. The " suppressed papers" in New York are making as much ado over their misfor tunes as Possible. This is sensible. It shows tlipt they understand advertising, and that while CHARLES lost his crown and Mr. LiNeoLN will get into similar trou ble if these Millenarians can find a CROM WELL, they are still disposed to make an honest penny by going before the world and making as much clamor as possible. We are very sorry that our conteMporaries were so onfortunate, but we do think that there can be such a thing as excessive mar tyrdom. The whole subject simplifies it self thus : I. Two New York newspapers published a forged prdclaination, the effect of which was to bast gloom and sorrow into every home, and to bring shlme on our country. 11. The Government suffered from this publication, and still suffers, for its effect still lingers in New York. 111. Riots had taken place,' and' blood was shed in New York a year before. Was the Government to wait until another riot had been engendered before-it showed its authority? IV. The blame belonged to these sup pressed papers. They might have been in nocent ; but their business was to show their innocence by bringing forth the guilty party. For all the misery thus cre ated they were responsible until the re sponsible party was found. V. According to Mr. MARBLE, the re sponsihility of his paper is made to dePend: upon " the night clerk." He says that in the management of Lig' paper there is a time when " competent inspection of the news is impcissible." His editors keep early hours, and " the night clerk ", has upon him the weightiest responsibility of the editorial day. An editor who abandons his paper to a night clerk should not com plain if he is compelled to submit to a se _vere discipline. VI. The best evidence that the GoYern ment did not intend to persecute these sup pressed papers is to, be found in the fact that theyare still printed. We cannot end this discussion in a bet ter way than by printing the following from the New York' Times of yesterday, which seems to exhaust the whole case We can say for THE PRESS what is thus said by The Times. "But the pretensioni which these two papers set up we will never admit for an instant. Their plea that there is 'no newspaper in the country but would have been deceived as we were,' • is false. The Times had that proclamation given it in exact ly the same manner as they, and yet was not de volved. It suspected the spuriousness of the pro duction before five lines of it were read; was entire ly convinced by the time the reading was completed. It made that assurance doubly sure by sending at once to the teleg - raph office and ascertaining thatnothing of the kind had come through that channel. What was done by the Times might have been done by any of our co temporaries with competent men in their edito rial.rOOms. ' The Journal, to meet this, pleads that it had no man in its editorial rooms, stud that the foreman of its . printing-rooms, as usual in such cases, gave the copy out without reading it. The plea is an insult to the business habits of this city. .No business house could keep public confidence for a day if• it should entrust its most important acts to a subordinate who should 'go it blind' in that fashion, for one minute of the day. The pretence, too,. that it was a specious counterfeit that might deceive any one, is absurd. No man in this country writes a more unique and unmistakable style than Abraham Lincoln. Never was there a coarser and niece pal pable counterfeit of a bank, bill than this counterfeit of one of the President's official documents. The editor, who is supposed to know the marks which snake style, stultifies himself by affirming that the style of that document had any resemblance to Mr. Lincoln's. A bank . teller would be instantly dismissed who shOuld ac credit a forgery so clumsy. The publication of that counterfeit was notrfront accident, but the grossest care lessness. Ilad we been guilty of it, we should have deemed the Government perfectly right in calling us to personal account for it. -An editor is personally re sponsible for whatever appears in his paper, whether through design or negligence. Ff he thus accredits and gives currency to a forgery, he ought to answer for- it in court. If the forgery was one of a military order, as was here the case, he must expeet to be trted by a military court, in' accordance with the army repute iiol2B, which are a part of the law of the land. In view of the tremendous power the press has for harm, we accept that responsibility as just, and cheerfully abide by it. No right-minded editor will complain of it; least of all at a time when such awful Issues. are in suspense, which forged proclamations and bulletins may most seriously affect. If there be any portion of the press who spurn this responsibility, we trust that the Government will strictly hold them to it, but by a wiser method than that just employed. The national interests are not to be placed at the mercy of the irresponsible carelessness, or malice, of either &Mere or any other men. It is an indig nity to the press to claim any such immunity in its favor; and the public are now treating such claims withjust the contempt they deserve.. IE TIIE Louisiana Convention, on the 11th, Mr. THOMAS W. WELLS, son of one of the greatest cotton and slaveowiaei's of Louisiana,: rose and eloquently declared himself .in favor of iminediate and uncon ditional emancipation. He was folloWed by RonEnT TALIAFEBRO, son ,Of another noted planter, related to the aristocratic TALIAFEREOS of South Carolina and Vir ginia. This gentleman said : "I am in favor of immediate emanpipation; and of the education of the negro. rWaS'born iti the interior of Louisiana, and was never beyOnd the boundary of the State. lam with Mr. WELLS." We find great encou ragement and hope in instances like these.: They show us the true spirit of the young and new Soucy advanced upbn the ruins of the old. 7 „ 13EOITSE two caSy-going editors left their papers in the care of "the night clerk," and went home, thus acting in a manner so negligent and care:le - SS that they became liable to military law, by giving publication to a 'forged military order, the Albany Atlas and Argus Urges the Democratic Congressmen "to abandon their seats in Congress and! return" home to their con stituents." This is very harmless aaviee, and will stand the widest Circulation. Let us add ;the hope,'. however{ that these worthies should go lioine, they wilrnot fail to imitate the example of such good Dario crats aiIIBENJAMIN and DAVIS, 7110, before they Went hOMe, took care to draw their mileage pay and allowances.: POLLAMD, the captured rebel, is a writer of a , book about the war and an editor of the Richmond Examiner. He distinguished himself by calling upon LEE, when in Penn sylvania 'last year, to burn up the State generally, set. fire to the coal mines, and blow up the, capital. Lie is a harmless, fiery rhetorician, an enemy of JEFF DAVIS, who, we presume, never gave him an office, and, as he'was at hob:Le a kind of discontented rebel, we hope ho will find comfort in Fort Warren. . Tm State of Massachusetts is making arrangements to trelcome home the first regiment of her volunteers whose term has expired. In a few days we shall have with us our gallant Pennsylvania Reseries, whose deeds in every field, from the Pe ninsula to the Wilderness, have given them immortal honor. Let our people welcome them as they deserve to be welc6ined, THE summer days are coming on, and we should begin to look at the health of our city. We have received many com munications from citizens complaining of the condition of the streets in the - upper part of the city. We trust this will be re medied. With a little care now, We shall have a healthy and happy summer. WE AGREE with the Springfield Repub lidan in thinking it a curious phenomenon that those who think June too early for a Presidential Convention arc most active for the Convention at Cleveland in May. TICEBE has been a great deal of pedantic writing about what is called the case of Col. Artour.mts. The Copperhead papers seem to think that it is the " worst out rage " of all. This is what the Herald says : "The Copperhead journals seem to be trying to maim some capital out of this case to use against the Administration. Wo advise them to be more discriminating in their a,ttaeks. To condemn the Administration for the arbitrary suppression of a newspaper, or for tho arrest of a citizen without due process of aw, Is certainly justifiable ; but In the , Arguelles case the Administration is morally, if not legally, right. Arguelles is clearly compromised as 'a slave trailer, and the Administration has, or ought to have, the right to aid in securing his conviction by returning him for trial. The correspondence, which we published yesterday, shows this fact most conclusively. To assail the Administration upon such grounds is to blunt the - edge of more just accusations.” ,OFFICIAL GAZETTE. ANOTHER VICTORY IN VIRGINIA GRANT'S ARMY CROSSING THE NORTH ANNA. -THE REBELS BRIVEN FROM THEIR ENTRENOII LEE FALLING BACK TO RICHMOND. Fearful Shrug-her of the Reb•els. GREAT CAPTURE OF PRISONERS 5113011113.11_N TILE ENEMY REPULSED BY THE NAVY. DESPATCHES FROM GEN. CANBY WAsarrra•row, May 24-10 P.• M To Major General Dix., New York A despatch, dated, at 11 o'clock last night, states that the army mined from its position .to the North Anna, following I closely Lee's army. The sth and 6th Corps marched by way of Harris" store to .Terico Ford, and the sth Corps succeeded in effecting a crossing and getting into position without muck opposition. Shortly after, however, they were violently attacked, and handsomely repulsed the assault, which was with out much loss to us. We captured some prisoners. Everything looks exceedingly favorable to us. Another despatch, giving in detail the movements of our corps, and speaking of the rebel assault on Gen. Warren's position, says "he was attacked with great vehemeney, ;and I have nevec heard more rapid or massive firing, either of artillery or - musketry." The attack resulted in a destructive repulse of the enemy. At the position attacked by Gen. Hancock, the rebels were entrenched, and in considerable force between the creek he had crossed and the river, and made a pertinacious resistance to his onset, but before dark he had forced them from their works, and driven them across the stream. It is also said that in these engagements the slaughter of the enemy. was very great. Our losses were inconsiderable. The rebels charged against our artillery, and suffered especially from canister. A despatch from General Grant this morning at 8 o'clock has also been received. It states that the enemy have fallen back from the North Anna, and we are in pursuit. Negroes who have come in say that Lee is falling back to Richmond. Other offiCial despatches from headquarters say that Gens. Warren, Burnside, and Hancock aro pushing forward after the retreating army. Gen. Warren captured a good number of prisoners last evening, but has not had time to count them or as certain his loss. Gem Hancock, in storming the rifle-pits this side ,of the river, last evening, took between 100 and 200 prisoners, and drove many rebels into the river, where they were drowned. General 'Warren also'captured some official pa pers, and among them . an order calling out all the boys, 17- years of-ago, to garrison Richmond. The ambulance men and musicians are also ordered into the ranks. General Sheridan was at Dunkirk this morning, and will be at Milford to-night.' Ico despatches have been received from General Sherman to-day, and none are expected for several days. Despatches from General Butler have been re ceived to-day, relating chiefly to the respective forces. Admiral Lee, in a, telegram dated the 922 d, to the Secretary of the Navy, states that last Saturday night the enemy attacked the army, and were handsomely repulsed., - A despatch from Major General Canby, dated the 18th, at the mouth of the Red river, states that Gen. Banks' troops had arrived at Semmesport yes terday, and Auld be at Morganza to-day. The army is in better condition than was expected, and will soon -be ready to assume offensive opera tions. EDWIN .

This was decided in the nemttive—yeas, 66: nays, SO:. The Senate had amended the 12th section; which pro vides that shareholders shall be held individually re sponsible, by, adding an exception that 'shareholders of anj banking association now existing under State laws, haring not lees than five millions of capital actually paid in and a surplus of 20 per cont, on hand, both to be determined by the Comptroller, of the Currency, shall be liable only to the amount invested In their shares; and such surplus shit , ' be kept undiminished, and be Mad dition to the surplus provided for in this =act; 'and if at any time there shall lie a deficiency in such surplus of 20 per centuni, :the banking association shall not pay any dividends to its stockholders until such deficiency shall be made good ; and in case of such deficiency the Comptroller of the Currency may compel the banking association to close its business, and wind up its affairs, under the provisions. of this act.

TILE NitWBBOYS' 110MX. Dir. PAI'TERSON, of Now Hampshire, reported a bill to incorporate tho Newsboys' Home, to the District of Columbia. • Mi BROOKS, of New York, wished M know what was the use of such homes if newspapers were to be suppressed. 13.1 that case there would be no newsboys. hr. COX, of Ohio, expressed his sarprise at that re . - mark, for the newspapers were suppressed, not only the boys themselves, but the gentleman, might want a home. • Mr. ELDRIDGE would like the gentleman from Now York to inform him whether the Government was uot now furnishing homes to editors in the forts of the North. Mr. BROOKS replied that perhaps HOMO gentleman on.the Republican sfde could give the .information:'As for himself, he was uot an organ of the Goverunient. Mr. KERNAN, - of 'New York, desired to say- a few words, coining from a State where the people were greatly aggrieved from a spasmodic on orgy which train , pled down the constitutional rights of Home of her citi zens. Mr. MORRILL, of Vermont, suggested that the dis cussion of the suppression of the World and the Jour nal of Commerce wasuot in order on this bill, which it was desirable to pass merely to secure an insurance on the buildings of the Newsboys' HOMO. The SPEAKER sustained the point of order. Mr. KERNAN said it would be idle to protect news. boys, if we do -not protect citizens whose rights have been violated.;. If it was not in order for him to express his views in thid grand inquest of the nation,he desived that all express section should be added to the bill, pro viding that the press shall not be suppressed by the arbitrary will of au executive officer. Mr. MORRILL again raised the question that the free dom of the press was not pertinent to the bill. and the Speaker again sustained the point. Ile said the bill merely provided for an act of incorporation of a house [Or newsboys, aqd such remarks were uo more appro priate to this than to a land or a pension bill. - Mr. KEENAN remarked he simply desired to call the attention of the House to the importance of the subject in its efforts for the well-being of the country, and to show that whenever au executive Officer should, by mistake, or from impulse, do KU act tho tendency of which was to alienate the people, the Government was Proportionately weakened. - - Mr. STEVENS, of Pounsyliranta,hoPed the gentleman would not now be allowed to go on any lougor, and, with a view of au accommodatiOn for- a speech, he Would move that the evening be set apart for that pur- Mr. KEENAN replied he would be happy to be heard at any time: Mr. BROOKS moved to recommit the bill, with in structions that its provisions shall be made to apply to the newsboys of New York, provided its shall not be lawful for the Executive, or any other person in au thority, to suppress newspapers by military force, thus depriving - new,-boye of their employment. The SPEAKER said the amendment was clearly oat of order._,_ - . . . . Mr, BROOKS modified Ms proposition, instructing the committee to report a new section, that no newspaper shall be suppressed in Washington, or its editor incarce rated, without due process of law. The SPEAKER for the reasons before stated, pro nounced the proposition out of order, Mr. COX asked the Speaker whether ho had ever read. the Constitution. The SPEAKER replied that he had not only frequently read it, but had'sworn to support it besides. Air. KERNAN resumed the floor, and was proceeding with his remarks, when Mr. WILSON, of lowa, called him to order for irrelevance. . . Mr. KERNAN said he had supposed he might make some suggestions, because, from recent events, the news boys were. liable at any, moment to be thrown...out of employment. The SPkAKER again pronounced the, gentleman out of order. Di,: BROOKS, who had yielded the floor to Mr. Ker win, retook the floor. He said it was the pride of the Speaker ot the House, as well as his own, that in their early days they were newsboys, and had been elected to be journalists. Mr. BELSON, of New York, asked his colleague whether he wan in favor of continuing the home at Fort Lafayette. Mr. BROOKS said that the Newsboys' Home should be the Capitol Prison, and he would have their educa tion such as would thoroughly fit them for champions of human liberty. He would hare them each to study Inagua cbarta, not only in English but in the original Latin. He would have them thoroughly trained to the principles of that charter extorted by the Barons from King John at Runnymede. and which declares that no man shall be deprored of his liberty except by due pro cess of law. He would have this declaration posted oa the Capitol walls in Latin, Saxon, English, and all other languages, that it might be read and tuideratood by all men. . He would have newsboys educated under the pro tection of right and the principles of common law affecting human liberty, as declared in England cen turies ago. Ile would have newsboys iso thoroughly trained as that, when they were stopped from sett ing their newspapers by arbitrary power, they would have the powers of thejeurnalist to remonstrate against the gros.i injustice and outrage upon their rights. Am I (Mr. Brooks said) now in order? Mr. 'WADSWORTH, 'of Kentucky, who' was sitting near Mr. Brooks, ironically said his remarks were treasonable. Mr. BROOKS, resuming, said those who violate the Constitution are guilty of treason. Those who lawlessly arrest editors and suppress journals are guilty of trea son. A violation of the Constitution of the United States is the highest order of treason. The SPEAKER said the gentleman is not in order. Mr. BROOKS remarked, it this is not In order I have nothing more to say, and took his seat. The bill for the incorporation of the Newsboys' Home in the District of. Columbia was then passed under the operation of the previous question. The House resumed the consideration of the Recipro city Treaty bill, when Hr. DAVIS, of New York, made a speech against the propriety and expediedcy, at this time, of giving the notice for the termination of the treaty. The House soon after adjourned. Adviees from the - Cape of,.Good Hope Captain S6mmes and his Prize—Case of the Sea Eride NEW YORK, May 24.—Advices from the Gape of Good Hope to the 7th of April have been re ceived. The Governor had proposed to the Chamber of Conitneree of Cape Town the imposition of tonnage duties. The increased taxation on imports and ex ports was receiving much attention. Several serious mercantile failures are darkly tainted at in Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. - The wool season was over and the stock light. The Governor, who had shown so much hike warmness in the matter of the sale of the Sea Bride ) one of the Alabama's victims, has been, it is report, ed, reprimanded by the Home Government. The money paid to Semmes for the Sea Bride was raised on forged papers, and one of the forgers has died of fright, while the other is working out a dye years' sentence. 4 , • It is said that the Sea Bride not haying any papers cannot be sold, and is a fair prize to the ves sels of war of any nation that may moet her. The India Timee says it is difficult to determine whose property Semmes has been destroying, and if it turns out that he has destroyed- English pro perty, it will make the nation the laughing stock of the world.

GOVERNOR SEYMOUR AND THE nEcayr FORGED PROCLAMATION. Governor Seymourse letter to District Attorney Hall, in relation to the seizure of the IVorld and Journal of Commerce, says : "It is charged these acts of violence were done without due legal pro cess, and without sanction of State or national laws. If this be true, the offenders must be punish ed.' If the owners of-the above-named journals have violated State or national laws they must be pro ceeded against and punished by these RIMS, and any action against them outside of legal pro cedures Is criminal.V The Governor argues, the matter at some length, and concludes thus ' , ln making your inquiries, and in prosecuting parties implicated, you will call upon the sheriff of the county and the heads of the police department for any needed force and assistance. The failure to give this, by any, official under my control, will be deem ed sufficient cause for removal." The quota of this city is understood to be so nearly full that a decision has been' made by the authorities not to draft.

ADVICES FROM THE PENINSULA Foni•rtEss Mormon, May 23,; 1'. M.—The steamer Thomas Powell, General Butler's despateh-boat, has just arrived, and reports everything quiet. There had been no hostilities since last Saturday night. From the best accounts the rebels received a severe punishment in their attempted night sur prise. They buried their dead under n. flag of truce. Captain George Emerson, 07th Ohio, shot through the body, died last night, on the hospital transport, and his remains have been brought to the Chesa peake Hospital. Two hundred and forty-nine wounded men wore brought to Hampton Hospital last evening, all wounded since the fight. of Monday, the Seth. In all, 3,400 wounded men have been brought down the James river since the army first landed. The agent of the Associated Press has received the folloNving notification : " General Butler directs that no press despatches be sent unless revised and approved by him at his headquarters in the field;' , consequently, no news from this point oan be sent over the wires. The agent at the front has been un filled of this fact, and the matter-will probably be adjusted soon. THE POTOMAC FLOTILLA-A GUNBOAT EXPEDITION WASHINGTON, May 24.—0 n Thursday evening last the gunboats Yankee, Lieut. Hooker ; ,Tacob Bell, Acting Master Schultze ; Fuohsia, Acting Waster Street, arrived at Fredericksburg, after an exciting passage of three days up;the Rappahan nock. The boats belong to the Potomac flotilla, Commander Parker, and the expedition was sent up under the command of Lieut. Hooker, who com mands one division of the flotilla. The Fuchsia took the lead In going up, she being fitted up with le heavy torpedo fonder, which ox plodod severed torpedoes on the passage, but no damage was done to our boats. Quite a number of torpedoes were found and removed. Some guerillas were seen on the banks of the river, but they did not venture to attack the boats. < All the vessels above named are at Fredericksburg, while others, the Currituek, Dragon, and Anacostia., among them, are patrolling the river. Captain Street reports the Rappahannock - to be clear of torpedoes, from its mouth to the wharf at Fredericksburg, but there are guerillas lurking along the banks, doubtless hoping to do mischief. Transports can.now reach Fredericksburg with sup plies for the army and to convey our wounded to the North. REBEL RAID ON THE LOWER POTOMAC WASHINGTON, May 2-I.—Last Thursday night a party of fourteen persons, two of whom were co lored, came out from the Virginia shore and, watching their chance, made a dash across the Po tomac to Bla.kistonls Island. Going to the light house at that point, they proceeded to destroy the lamp and lantern, which they did most effectually. They also carried off about 21 gallons of oil, and started to carry off the light-keeper, Mr. Jerome McWilliams, but through the entreaty of hts fami ly he was allowed to remain. Since the destruction of the, light a hand-lamp has been used to guide veS sels bound up the river. [Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.) • GUINNEY'S STATION, SATURDAY, May 24-7 P. M. The Army of the Potomac is again on the march toward Richmond. During the night, liancoeles corps, which had held the left of our lines in front of Spottsylvania Court House, took up its march, mov ing on the road parallel with the river. Early this morning it reached Guinney's station, on the Fredericksburg and Richmondrailroad, 12 miles due south of Frederickshurg. Thence it p•ushed onward, following the railroad, and to-night finds the head of Hancock's column at t. Bowling Green, eighteen miles south of Fredericksburg. The other corps have been to-day following the same general line, and the sth is now passing the point at which this despatch is dated. You will observe from these in dications that the Commanding General has efeeted a turning more2nent on the right flank of Lee, who is now hastily falling back to take up a fresh defensive position. It is expected that his next stand will be on the South Anna river, although he may en deavor to hit us while moving by the flank, just as he did when outflanked in his lines on the Ra pidan. Heavy firing, in fact, Is this moment-heard across the Ny, where one of our columns is moving. A mile south by west of Guiney's Station is the point of con fluence of the Po and Ny rivers, and at this point the stream is crossed by Guinney's bridge, which is in our possession. The river south of the junction of the Po and the Ny is called by the inhabitants of the country the ‘' Mattapony," although the Mat and Ta, its other affluents. do not enter it till we reach a point a dozen miles south of this. Volt will notice by the map that our present front, while it puts us in a very advantageous position in regard to the enemy, at the same time perfectly covers our communications, which are by way of Fredericksburg and Acquia creek. The railroad will soon be open from Acquia creek to Fredericks bur,. and will doubtless be put in order south of that point as we advance. There are also, several available points of water communication by the Rappahannock. as at Port Royal, he., which will probably be used. I should misrepresent the conviction of the sound est heads in tins army if I ..should convey the im pressica, that our progress is to be now only a tri umphant march. We shall be met by the most ob durate resistance which< skill and courage on the part of the enemy can command. But General Grant has given you the key-note of the sentiment of this army ; we <shall go through with this busi ness, " if it takes all summer to do it." ARMY OF _THE PENINSULA From General Butler's position, near Bermuda Hundred, we have correspondence of the 20th and 21st. At 12 o'clock on the foggy night of the 19th the rebels made a charge to gain some rifle-pits, held by the whole of. the 9th Maine, and portions of the 4th New Hampshire, 55th Pennsylvania, and 97th New York. Through the cowardice of two lieutenants, since dismissed from the service, the 9th Maine broke and ran, and enabled the enemy to flank the rest and take the rifle-pits. This success emboldened the rebels to make a fresh as swat on Monday, in which they were slaughtered like sheep, and General 'Walker was captured. C.APTITRE OF TEE REBEL GENERAL WALKER The line in front of Gen. Terry was recovered by Col. Howell's brigade, assisted by the 14241 New York, Col. Curtis, and the 89th New York - , Col. Fairchild. In this effort the rebel Brigadier Gene ral Wm. S. Walker, commanding the South Caroli na brigade, was captured. He was reconnoitring the left of the enemy's line, when Col. Howell dashed upon him at the head of his brigade. Walker at first thought our men, were his own, but soon discovering his error, put spurs to his horse to get away. A volley brought him down. He received one wound - in - the left arm, and another shot tore off part of - his leg. He was quite cool, brave, and insolent when Col. Howell approached him. The latter is also brave as Julius Ceesari and as perfect a gentleman as ever breathed. His soft reply" to the angry rebel officer turned away his wrath completely. A litter was procured, and he was tenderly conveyed to Gen. Gilmore's head quarters, himself requesting that no operation should be performed on him. until he was taken out of the range of the shells. He also asked to see Gen. "Baldy " Smith and Gen. Terry, having known the former before the war, when he was an honored of ficer of the old army, and having met Gen. Terry several times in the progress of the South Carolina campaign. Walker commanded the forces at Poca taligo when Gen. 0. M. Mitchell attempted to cut the railroad. Dr. Craven, medical director of the 10th Corps, gave up his tent to the wounded man, and there 1 saw him a little while since,moaning in agony, and so weak from'loss of blood that the ampu tation of his limb, though necessary, had to be post poned until such time as he should rally. There seems to be little chance of his recovering. He dic ta ted a letter, last night, to General Beauregard, stating the circumstances of his capture, describing his injuries, and expressing his acknowledgments of the courtesy and kindness he had received, request ing that the communication might be sent by flag oltruce. Our losses yesterday were considerable. The ene my, however, suffered incomparably snore. Our but teries played havoc with them as they were massed in the woods. DISASTROUS CHARGE OF THE WITH PENNSYLVANIA. In the afternoon a, charge was made upon the rifle pits by the 97th Pennsylvania Regiment, under Maj. Pennypacker. It was a deadly movement to the boys of the Keystone State. There seems to have been a misapprehension of the order. They were told, or expected to advance upon the enemy under shelter of the woods; but instead of doingso, charged madly across an open field between our works and the pits. They were slaughtered like sheep by the concentrated tire of a field-battery. Below I give a partial list of the wounded. 'The officers suffered greatly. - WOUNDED PENNSYLVANIANS IN BUT LEWS DEPARTMENT. 97TH PENNSYLVANIA. • - • Lieut Isaac Falk, D—groin Corp J :Daubmani A—both and foot I legs Major G Pennypacker-- Robert Gizeubier, A—lung arm R:Fenuesy,..E—leg Capt J DI C Savage, B— Sergt It B Moore, C—shoul• foot Copt 7 Price, C—thigh' Wm '7 Smith, E—leg Lieut Geo A Cloister, 11— Corp N R Cowen, A — leg arm Wm Given, A—neck Capt D C Lewis,F.—miss Sergt Smith, E—hand tug Frederick SeHon, A—arm LIP Cosgrove, F, missing Sgt Wet HIT Gibson,l,knee Lemuel Mcßride, D, leg E Flyght, C, hand John Goodwin, 1), thigh DI Brontzman, I thigh Jacob Putell,.ll, head A K.

Gon. Loo, having been relieved from the command of the cavalry, has requested the Adjutant General of the United States army to order a cent t of inquiry in relation thereto, which will involve an investigation into the disaster at Sabine Cross Roads. —General Godfrey;Weitzel, commanding the 2d Division of the 18th Corps, has been appointed chief engineer of Geenral Dutler's department. General Martindale is named as the successor of Weitzel in the command of the division. General Weitzel -en joys the reputation of being one of the niost ac complished and experienced engineers in the ser vice. Ito takes the place of Captain Farquhar, and the improved defences of Gen. Butler's position witness the wisdom of his now appointment. —'Gen: Win. S. liarnoy has, according to orders furnished a statement of his services since 1861. Regarding the agreement wlthGen. Storting Price, commanding the Missouri. State Guard, during the earliest trouble of the war, and for a while under stood to bo a neutrality Unionist Gen. Harney testi fies himself, and speaks of Price as "a man of the highest respectability, who had been a brigadier general in the wat with Mexico, had been the Govonor of the State of Missouri, and had occupied other public Offices, acquiring a high reputation in - all of them for ability,, high honor, and espo - chilly for integrity of character. Ile accepted the appointment of major general, but °specialty spoke of the fact in public that ho had not taken the oath of special allegiance to the State of Missouri under the militia bill ; whilst he publicly declared that was under oath to support the Constitution of the United States." The act to arrest the Governor of Missouri Gen. Harney looked upon as a breach of faith, and thus explains the subsequent conduct of Price "As might have been anticipated, the Gover nor of the State, Immediately upon hearing if the military expedition for his arrest, took care to secure himself by, withdrawino• from Jeffer son City beyond reach. And if effects of this military expedition had stopped with this fact alone, it would have been fortunate for the the State • but, unfortunately, General Price, hav ing no knowledge of tho particular circumstances connected with it, looked upon It as a broach of faith against himself, who had, of his own accord, removed the militia on which the Governor might have relied, and it appeared to him as If his meet ing me at St. Louts ILad been designed, expressly, to induce such an action on his part as might lay the Governor ?pen to seizure. This was un doubtedly his view of the proceeding, upon which he decided to take part with the Governor against what he regarded as a treacherous act of military. despotism. Accordingly, he fled with the Governor, and has since been uumb&ofl among the enemies of the Federal Government." —The New York =llorald contradicts the report tha,,t its correspondent, Mr. W. F. G. Shanks, was killed at Resaca, Georgia, on tho 15th instant, as he Wes safe In Louisville three days later than that date. The rebel General Corso was killed in the bat tle at Drury's Bluff, and the casualties among the rebel field officers are quite numerous. Colonel Richard Maury, son of Commodore Maury, C. S. N., was mortally wounded. The Burial of Hawthorne groin the Boston Post, May 24.3 Yesterday, the gave closed forever over the re mains of Nathaniel Hawthorne a, name that will live while the English language has an existence or a memory. The body wad'removed from Plymouth, N. H., the place of iris demise, to his residence at Concord, Mass., and in that quiet tovrn, yesterday afternoon, he was followed to his last resting-place by a numerous company of friends, including many of his literary associates; whose writings, like his own, are known around the globe. The services were appointed for one o'clock, but the appointment was afterwards changed for three o'clock. At that hour the Unitarian Church was well filled, and among the audience were Professor Longfellow, Prot. Agsissiz, ex-President Franklin Pierce, Dr. 0. W. Holmes, James Russell Lowell, George S. Hillardev. Wm. Ellery Charming, Prof.P Charles E. Norton, George W. Greene, Judge Hoar,.B. F. Thomas, Ralph Waldo Emerson, E. P. Whipple, A. Bronson Alcott, Jas. T. Ileitis, George B. Loring, John S. Dwight, Richard S. Frothing ham, A. Williams, of A. Williams Sr. 00., Richard S. Spofford, Jr., Miss Harriet E. Prescott, Mrs. Jas. T. Fields, and others. The coffin was placed in front of the pulpit, and was covered wilh a profusion of spring Bowers, whose fragrance filled the church. The services commenced with a voluntary upon the organ and the chant "Thy will be done," by the choir. Rev. James Freeman Clarke, of Indiana Place Church, Boston; addressed the audience partially as fol lows If there ever has been one who was eminently himself, and received, cherished, and faithfully ful filled that which God-gave to him, it was our friend who has left us. It is not for me to speak of him, for many of you knew him better than L But we all knew this of him,,and we knew it in his writings, in which ho put himself; we know of him that his plan was his own, and that his whole work came according to the law which God had impressed upon it, and that God placed him here to glorify this tame New England life, and to pour over it all that poetry that was in his heart. I know no other thinker or writer who has had such sympathy as he had with that dark shadow which falls over our existence—that shadow which theologians call sin. He seemed to be the friend of sinners in his writings. I think we may give him that title. 'I think that he - may follow after our Heavenly friend, and bear something of the same name. He entered into those tmysterious depths and felt his way through those dark pas sages of the human heart, and always with ten derest sympathy, always to show us that there is something in our own hearts which might have led us the same way. I think that Was a work which our friend has= done which was never done before as he did it. It was not that he did not recognize all that was right and generous and noble in nature. His books were full of sunshine as well as of shade. They are sunny all through, and the dear mother, Nature, who sympathizes with her children, seems to-day to have bound the stars of her beauty around her, as a parting tribute to this her son who has been so faithful tolierallegianee, All this fragrance and sweetness of the opening year which is breathed around us seems to be the farewell of the mother to the son who has gone on into that higher nature, that nobler work, that lafger life which is ready for us when we have finished our work here. The services were concluded by prayer and the singing of a hymn. The coffin was then opened, and friends wore permitted to Molt for the last time upon the familiar face t which retained almost the appear ance and expression of life. The coffin was then placed in the hearse, haying upon it a wreath of apple-blossoms from the " Old Manse," which, by the pen of Mr. Hawthorne, has become a familiar name to our literature, and the manuscript of an unfinished romance which had engaged the attention of the deceased in his later days. . A. procession was then formed, a number of Mr. Hawthorne , s associates acting as pall-bearers and the body was conveyed to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Here on the summit of a hill, a spot much frequent ed by the deceased while at his Concord home, amid the tall pines, whose leaves rustled mournfully above, he was laid to his rest. The usual Scripture selections for burial were read by Rev. Mr. Clarke, and the friends who sadly gathered round felt, while dust was committed to dust, that the spirit had re turned to God who gave it. It was pleasant to notice that so many turned aside from their daily duties tojoin in this sad scene, and that the store of Messrs. Ticknor & holds, in this city, 'was appropriately closed during the day. Public Entertainments Mns.
