A Word for Mr. Garrison.
■ 'The Copperhead-Radicals—or the .Radi
cal-Copperheads—make WILLIAM Lloyd
Gabrisoh their special mark of denuncia
tion. The Nm Nation, a weekly news
paper, edited by a number of German gen
tlemen of New York, is the organ of the
■Copperhead-Radicals, and this is the way
‘■it speaks of Mr. Garrison:
*' Garrison lias fallen. Tho old man is no longer
the '.'prophet .whom we royored. Drank with the
-nine of political expediency—tasted now rorthe drat
time—ho Ims nncovorod his.nakedness, and made
himself the sport qf the mob. Some of hts sons have
■covered him vovorently s but with a sad heart, and
pityingly withal. Some others, like the parasite of
tho drunken king, too . far gono themselves to lift
him up, have loyally lain down in tho mire at his
eldo.e . - ..
The meaning of this refined rhetoric .is
simply that Mr. Garrison finds ft hts duty
to support Mr. Lincoln for tho Presidency,
in opposition to the wishes of Mr. Puil
iirs and Mrs. E. Cady Stanton, who
prefer Mr. Fremont. Now, why should
notthe great leader of. aiili-slavery sustain
Mr. Lincoln. Our President is an anti
slavery man. He has given the anti-slave
ry cause power. Until lie entered the
■White House freedom had no voice in tho
councils of this The twine
of Abolitionist was a name of scorn. The
lidgro clanked his chains in the shadow of
the Capitol, and men like Mr. Prin.i.TPS
would have been treated as badly in Wash-
ington ns Mr. Garrison was treated in Bal
timore in IS3S. Tiie cause of anti-slavery,
which heretofore had been a mere sentiment
—a thing—the burden of songs and annual
speeches —was taken up by Mr. Lincoln,
and made a triumphant cause. He not
only protected and respected the anti-sla
very man, but he proclaimed emancipation,
and placed at its service, the great army
and navy of the nation. Ho has given us
an anti-slavery Government,. anti-slavery
cannon, and anti-slavery swords. More than
that, he lias made , the slave a man and a
soldier. In doing this, he, has not, per- _
haps, 1 consulted Mr. PitiLi.irs, or Mr.’Ebb
most, or Mr. Cochrane; he has not done
injustice to loyal,:men wiio believed in sla
very, in his desire to do justice to the negro ;
he has quietly advanced in the path of
right, taking the people with him, going
neither faster nor slower, but moving on'
with them at his side. ; -. . ; ,
For this reason, Mr, Wili.tam Lloyd
Gabbison, acting like a sensible, practical
man, and seeing in these acts of Mr. Lin
coln the accomplishment of the principles
for which he labored during many, years of.
life, became the friend and supporter of the
President of tlie United States. This was
a logical act, and we honor the great Aboli
tionist for his candor. It was consistent
•with his . whole life, ; but, for some unac
countable reason, it does not seem to have
pleased Mr. Pun, ups and his German
friend of tiie i\ r <s?e Nation. They denounce
Mr. Garrison in indecent' rhetoric, and
seek to cast shame and obloquy upon him.
The man is too well known to need de
fence from ns. We do hot write as a parti
san or an apologist of the great Abolitionist,
hut we think he lias been treated in a
shameful way, and it is proper that the fact
should he known. ,
Can the Queen do "Wrong t
The popularity of Queen Victoria is not
upon the increase in England. . This may
he attributed to two causes : first, the al
. most unremitting persistency-; with which
she has kept herself in seclusion, siucc
•'• Christinas, 1801, -when her husband died;
secondly,, the belief that the njin-iuter
ference of England, for the purpose of
saving Denmark from being dismembered
by Prussia and Austria, is . a Ministerial;
policy not only recommended blit dictated
' bylier Majesty.
The London tradesmen differ greatly
upon the sovereign’s withdrawal from pub
lic life. Levees and drawing-rooms at St.
James’s and stately banquets, grand con
certs, and magnificent balls at Buckingham
Palace, invariably cause a great seal of
money to be put .into circulation, among ,
many of the trades of London, indepen
dent of the examples which they hold out
for the.-noble and the wealthy to imitate.
The substitution of the Prince, and the
Princess of Wales, at a drawing-room or
levee,'by no means is an equivalent. ,The
public want to behold the personal par
ticipation of the Sovereign herself. Even
the courtly Morning Post, the true gazette
■of fashion, complains of the system which
virtually reduces the Queen into the con
dition of a myth. Other journals are more
outspoken, and say that as Queen Victoria;
is allowed $2,000,000 for a particulaT: ex
penditure which she now avoids, a large
portion of that salary Ought to be returned
to the people, by whom it is paid.
One editor plainly .says':Tire great
affliction . wherein; an illustrious per-
sonage remains plunged, forbidding gra
tification in the splendors and gaieties
which the Court, under ordinary circum
stances, is-cxpeeted to encourage, must: be
attended, we should think, with . a greatly
diminished expenditure. .In the house of
mourning, wherefrom the pomps and vani
ties of the world are necessarily excluded,
thei'6 ceases to he that 'demand upon the
pmse exacted by their observance. It is
not an unreasonable inference that a con
siderable portion of the £400,000 a year
appropriated to the civil fist, is saved since
the illustrious personage remains in the
strict and sacred retirement of grief, which
the nation most truly and feelingly respects;
nor would it he an unreasonable request
that the saving might he applied to public
purposes—say, for instance, the repairs of
"Royal palaces, which, notwithstanding the
unabated vote for the civil list, have coat,
the nation this year £52,258,” or $261,290.;
A few years ago, plain writing like, this
would linye subjected the author to arrest
for sedition.
The other. matter is still more serious,
•On Thursday, May 20th, the Earl of Eltcn
borough, a man of mark and talent, who
has been Viceroy of India, and several
times n Cabinet Minister, drew the atten
tion of the House of Lords to the conduct
of Prussia towards Denmark, objected to
the foreign policy pf England, and broadly
insinuated that this policy had been forced
on the Palmerston Ministry by Queen
Victoria herself. Now, this imputation
, was a direct blow at the understood politi
cal principle of England, that “the
•Queen can do no wrong.” It assailed
a certain policy, declaring it to ho
radically wrong, .and it inferred that this
.policy was the personal opinion, fancy,, or
prejudice of the Queen, which she induced
her Ministers to substitute for their own.
•On the part of the Ministry a clumsy reply
-was made by Lord Rcssei/i,, to the effect,
’ that be ami his colleagues were guided by
their own judgment,, that the Queen, bad
never tried to force any of her own
opinions upon them, and that she had
accepted, -without demur, '.-the advice her
Ministers gave her. This reply has not sat
isfied England—especially as it lias since
been asked whether the Ministry were not
cautious in advising the Queen precisely as
they know her own feelings and prejudices
pointed.
■Whether correctly or not, the general be
lief, not only in England but in the political
circles of Paris, is that Queen Victoria on
this Danish question has acted in concert,
from the first, with her brother-in-law, the
Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, who firet set
on the Prince of Augustenburg to separate
Schleswig-Holstein from Denmark, and
■that the Prince of Wales, naturally inclin
ing to the opinion of his wife, (the King of
Dcnmark’3 daughter,) is decidedly opposed
to any dismemberment of his father-in
law’skingdom—already one of the smallest,
though amoiig the most ancient in Europe.
The reader of English history will see, at
a glance, that for the reigning sovereign to
differ will l His or her heir apparent and sue-.
cessor has ever been the practice in En
gland. Besides, apart from politics,- Queen
Victoria may not be quite pleased with the
great popularity of the Prince of Wales,
and his young, accessible, accomplished,
and handsome wife.
There is constitutional government in
England, not any. written Constitution—,
for Magna Oharta, extorted from King
John, nearly six hundred and fifty years
ago, was mainly in favor of the nobles and
tho landowners. The British Constitution,
like the common law, rests upon plain tra
ditionary principles—one of which is “ The
Sovereign can do no wrong," This pro
tects the royal prerogatives and person—
but, like every general rule,' has its excep
tions; notably so, by the execution of
Charles I. in 1040 and the deposition of
James 11. in 1688. The rule, espoeially
since the latter dale, has been that the
monarch shall do, and can do, nothing per
son ally, but must exercise all acts of govern-.
ment solely by tim advice of Ministers,
who are responsible for the same. The
Sovereign has acknowledged, over since,
Hint if her Ministers advise her contrary to
the wishes of Parliament, the advice must
be bad, and the Ministers,changed before
their counsels can lake effect.
“ But ot’lato'yours,** tho Lcmfon ftcinem says,
“ there seems to have been some infringement of this
constitutional rule v as regards the foreign policy of
tho country.. Her Majesty has expressly asserted
her right to revise and direct the communications
passing between her Government and tho Govern
ments of other nations. And the ominous sllonce
of Ministers at the present moment leads tho pub
lic to believe that sac is even now berii on pursuing a
line of policy which is not that which they would re
commcndf and which the two Houses would dpprovc t
while Lord Pahnnston explicitly lays down the doc
trine that the Houses are not entitled to know the en
gagements made in the name of the country till of ter
they have been irrevocably concluded.
“Such doctrines and such prnctico may bo, as wo
have admitted thoy aro, in conformity with the lot-;
ter of tlio Constitution ; but they are contrary to
its spirit, and utterly opposed to the spirit of tho
immfc maxim on which wo are now, in- the interest
of both Sovereign and people, commenting. The
maxim applies to foreign affairs as well as to homo
government, because it assures us that both the So
vereign '.will submit to be guided by, constitutional
advisers. -
In the reign of Charles 11., Lord Derby
was' impeached for- haying: carried, on a
treaty with Prance, which was made under
the personal direction of the King.himself.
In 1701, four of the Ministers of William
111. were impeached for the evil counsel
they were assumed to have given in the
matter of the partition treaty of the Spanish
dominions. Through party disputes this
impeachment failed, and, indeed, the ac
cused peers were only theoretically guilty,
for the treaty-had been concluded without
their knowledge. But the House of Lord a
put upon record its opinion of the uncon
stitutional nature of personal government,
by the Sovereign only, even in foreign af
; fairs, by an address to the King, in which
they requested him to constitute a Council,
to whom should he entrusted all affairs,
both at home and abroad, “ which may in
any way concern your Majesty and your
dominions, ’ ’ and in respect to a particular
action.of the King of France, added, “we
humbly advise your; Majesty, in future
treaties with the French King, to proceed
with such caution,as 'may. carry along with
it a real security. ” : Mr. Hallam, com
menting on King William’s beink his own
Foreign Minister, says : “ It must be owned,
that ,by this sort of proceeding William
brought on, hiniseif much of that dislike
which appears so .ungrateful and unaccount
able.”
From that time until now, when it- is
charged that Queen Victoria has changed
the system, the rule has been that, in fo
reign as well as in 'home affairs, the Sove
reign is not justified in acting without or
against the advice of ministers, who are
legally responsible. . England is greatly in
favor of not permitting Denmark to be
crushed, as Poland was, by a much similar
process, in/ the/ last century. The belief
that the Queen is disposed to sympathize
with flic oppressors is gaining ground
among her “loving -subjects. ” In the
House of Lords the Opposition are strong
enough to carry an address,of .censure or
remonstrance to the Queen. The London
Review offers the only apology: that can he
passed for her, and this is really as much; a
gentle reproof as an excuse.: It runs thus":
“Blest as this nation has been for a quarter of a
century with a Sovereign whose exemplary private
.life;has been equalled by., her strict adherence to
constitutional principles in home politics, it has had
no inclination to inquire critically into her relations
with her responsible ministers, or to suspect that in
this age there could bo danger of an extension of
the Royal prerogative. Yet It may perhaps seem,
to the calm observer of human nature, scarcely pos
sible that in a: female reign some such questions
should not arise. Those peculiarities of disposition
and temperament which make a woman most
loveable and most sacred, are precisely those which
tend to urge her, in such a position, to Ike exercise
of forbidden powers. It would bo almost' unna
tural if such a one should not bo moved
by family reeling and ,by tender memories, should
not struggle to support her wishes by her authority,
and should be able to weigh against these motives:
the policy of States and the unwritten restraints of
the Constitution. But unhappily that which tends
tothe overstepping of the Constitution makes the
transgression doubly dangerous. Personal govern
ment, In the hands of a man so wary,so experienced,
so impasstvo, as the Emperor of the French, may,
during one generation, be successful; but personal
government, virtual or avowed, exercised by a wo-
intellect, deprived of the masculine support
on which for twenty years it avowedly leant, guided
by a woman’s knowledge, and inspired ,by a woman’s
feelings, can neither represent the interests of the' na
tion nor cope with the astuteness of foreign'diplomacy..
For these reasons, we have thought it. fight to re-;
call to attention, that in foreign policy, as well .as;.
in domestic rule, the Constitution subjects the Sov
ereign, nominally supreme, in the. same restraints.
It removes the responsibility from her to her Minis
ters, by assigning to them, not to her, the right to'
act.” ■
The Copperheads of Hew York fo
mented a/riot last year, because the 'con
scription bill contained an exemption
clause. "We were told that bytheprovl
..sions of this exemption act. the poor man
was oppressed, and the rich man permitted,
to escape from military duty. According
to these people, of all the infamous mea
sures of the Administration, none excelled
this exemption clause of the conscription
act. . The; poor, and-; ignorant -foreigners
and mechanics - were told that the first act
of tlie triumphant Democracy would he to
repeal the obnoxious measure. The ne
cessities of, war have-led the Administra
tion to do wliat,. last year, the Copperheads
were committing murder, and assassination
in New York because the Administration
refused to do. The Government; asks
the abolition of the exemption clause.
The Copperheads now turn around and de
nounce the Government: for suggesting
. such a' nieasure ! These men never seek
what is right or what is wrong. They are
consistent in nothing but enmity to the
Government. • ,'
The opinions upon llic renomination of
President Lincoln, which we- publish to
day, arc chiefly from loyal papers, some of
them hitherto supposed to he in favor of
another candidate. Not selected, but taken
almost .by chance from the largest exchange
list of any paper in Pennsylvania, they suf
ficiently indicate the universal satisfaction.
A correspondent of the New York
Tima suggests that the original of the
Cleveland Convention will he found in Ist

“ And every ono that was In distress, and every
ono that was in debt, and every one that w£s dis
contented, gathered themselves unto him; and he
became a. captain over them; and there were with,
him about four hundred men.” - ,

“Tlie Days of SSiacty-threo.”
This is tho title of a most attractive little-poem
written by a lady of this city as a con tribution to the
Central Fair 3 for the benefit of tho Sanitary Com
mission. The design Is ingenious. A soldier who
has served through tho battles of the prosent con
test relates to his grandchildren on the ovo or the
4th of July, 1933, the story ,of the war from the
attach on Fort Sumpter to the final triumph of the
national arms, secn ; by thb v author with prophetic
eye, but narrated by tho veteran as a tale of the
past, Tho versification. Is pleasing, tho sentiments
■elevated, and the earnest patriotism of the writer
will commend her effort to every American heart.

.fifty cents is within the reach of every purse. '

The Committee say they boiH a bill to the Secretary of
'State, who replied to their question that tho bill was
approved on that day, and that the date as well as the
signature is in tho bandwrittingof tits President; ‘Tbo
truth is established that owing to the great press of busi

President until after Congrosshad adjourned.
Tho Committee briefly state the Pre.sideut’s reasons
why ho signed tho bill during the recose, believing he
was justified in doing so by constitutional warrant, but
they say, although there is force and plausibility tu
the rcßsouiuf, they conceived it a correct interpretation
of the Constitution thaOthe ten days limitation refers
to the time during which Congress remains in session,.
aud has no application after an. adjournment. Hence,
if tho Executive can hold a bill ten days ho can as well
hold it for teu months.
This would render the. enactment of the laws un-_

June.ll, 1864. .
Heavy cannonading yesterday and to-day has
revealed the fact that the,rebels are using siege
guns to drive this army from its work of eircumval
lation. Mortar shells have burst within our lines..
One uncxploderl Parrott shell. has been found.: Its
class was the 100-pounder. A truck has been mounted
with a gun upon the Richmond and York Railroad,
whence 64-pounder shells are hurled at us. Judging
by its sweet voice (baritone robwsto), it is either tho
same gun that made so much noise and little execu
tion among the pine-tree tops at Olusteo, Florida
on the 20th of February last; or it is a very near
relation to that historical piece. So far the casual
ties from the siege practice of the rebels: has boon
only the wounding of five men in the division lately
commanded by.the lamented General Wadsworth—
the 4th of the Dfch Army Corps. '

ATTEMPT TO MURDER UNION SOLDIERS.
.; An authentic ease of attempt to murder Union
soldiers by poison has come to light . On the 19th of
May, at a farm house, near the Munkey river, a pi
ously-talking old woman offered mince pie to sovon
soldiers of the Ist arid 2d New Jersey Regiments.
All.partook and shortly exhibited severe symptoms
Of poisoning. The stomach pump usod by Dr.
Mott, offthe Ist New Jersey, and Di*. Hendrix of the
2d Now Jersey. Analysis of the contents of the
stomach revealed arsenic. From the stomach of oho
man of the. Ist Now Jersey (S. N. Ell worth, Go. K,)
was taken sufficient poison to kill two men. The
men were,all over-dosed, and will recover. : But
even yet the severe effects of the poison are felt by
themand they are in hospital.
A FLAG ov TRUCE—THE WOUNDED.:
Yetteriiay a flag-of-truco arrangement for the bu
rial of tho dead was effected. Firing was suspended
from 4to G P.-M. The number of dead betwocn the
lines of the armies was not largo, and the numbers
of the rebels and Federals respectively were about
the same. Numbers of wounded men, left unearod
for, in some oases, daring six days and nights, wore
brought in and cared for. One of our men, wounded
n tho affair of tho Ist of Juno, had made ropoatod
efforts to crawl into our lines, and was found to kavo
been hit by sharpshooters, after hts flrst wound, no
less/than seven times. His wounds were full of
maggots. Strange to say, he is doing welly and is
likely to recover.
GENERAL T.KK AfiAIX REPORTED WOENDBD.
Tho rebels, during the cessation of the firing,
freely declared that they could not be beaten. At
tho ond of the truce agreed on a strong forco of
armed rebels drove In the men who had boon de
tailed as grave-diggers, &c. Forco was necessary
to prevent them from slinking, away into our lines.

THE BATTLE NEAR STAUNTON—GREAT
SUCCESS OF Oipi FORCES.
Washington, Friday, June 10.—The following
brief, but .highly satisfactory, despatch has justbeen
received from Staunton, Virginia, ’via Harper’s
Ferry : ■.
■Staunton, Ya., Monday, June 6,1864.—We came
upon the enemy yesterday in force, fifteen miles
north of this place, and after a brief but spirited
fight, "we whipped them most thoroughly, driving
them from the field, capturing a largo number of
prisoners. The rebels were commanded by Generals
AY. E. Jones and Imboden, the former of whom was
killed. To-day wc pursued the rebels into and
through this place, where they made little resist
ance, although Die place is quite strongly fortified,
and every male person in tho place was ordered out
In its defence. ; The disposition of our forces was
sucli, however, that they should not have hold it in
any base,.as we were on their fronts, flank and rear.
AYc have captured a battery of six guns, several
hundred prisoners, and many hundred thousand
dollars’ worth of stores.
Wo do not stop hero. A still more important
point is aimed at.. Crooks' cavalry are with us,;
anddoing splendidly. .
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Staunton, Shenandoah Valley, Monday, June
6.—Our movements here have in every way been an
entire success. We have thoroughly whipped and
driven ; back the enemy, who -is rapidly retreating
toward the Blue Ridge.
In our movements so.far rro have captured one
battery of six pieces, besides other cannon of heavy
calibre. ; Over a million dollars’worth of stores fell
into our hands. The: amount of railroad property
which we have destroyed and captured is large. We
have taken a large number of prisoners. Someof
them are mere boys, and one or two I saw were so
young that they could hardly.use a musket!
Considering the extensive character of our com
binations, and the important result we have , at
tained, our loss is not. large In either killed or
wounded.
Crooks’ eolumn and Averill’s command met with
decided success.
In one action which we had the enemy attempted
a trick by trying to flank our left. In the end we
tricked him, as we turned his left, and thereby
brought about his defeat handsomely. ;
Thobum’s brigade of infantry suffered the heaviest
in killed and wounded.
Our forces are in hot pursuit of the enemy.
Stahl’s division of cavalry and Sullivan’s divi
sion ofinfantry woro hotly engaged.
The brigades commanded by Colonel Mcßeynold3,
of the Ist New York Cavalry, and Colonel Wyn
koop, of the 20th Pennsylvania, did their work. ;
The enemy’s retreat is a complete stampede—a
rout.; - . N
On taking Staunton we found that every man and
boy had been called out for its defence.
-Staunton is well fortified, but if the enemy had
only remained to hold the place to the last extremi
ty, we would have captured the whole rebel com
mand.; We gpt in juBt : BUCh positions as insecure
that character of result.': At onetime our eolumn
was, in a great measure, in the rear of Jones and
Imboden and the main rebel position.
The. principal fight: took place on the line of the
North river and Middle river.'
It is very difficult getting dispatches to the reaT,
as vre arenowbver one hundred and seventeen miles
in the enemy’s country, or from Blartinsburg and
the lino of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the
nearest accessible point of communication, and the
road is lined all the way, with guerillas of every
stripe, from the wild highwayman to the regular
life-taker and no-mercy. .

REBED REPORT OF HUNTER’S VICTORY.
The Richmond.' Examiner contains the' following
account of the battle of Mount Crawford: \ ;
“ On Sunday evening the enemy, In very heavy,
force, supposed to bo about ten or twelve thousand
strong, and consisting of infantry, cavalry,: and
thirty pieces of artillery, made an attack upon a de
tachment of our troops, then near Mount Crawford,;
twelve miles the other side of Staunton, under com
mand of Gen. Wm.E. Jones.
, “At the time of the attack, a large portion of Gen.
.Tones’command had been detached to operate in
another direction—where, it is not prudent to say—
and had not come up when the enemy made their
appearance. Onr forces made a gallant resistance,,
but in the face of overpowering numbers of the ene
my,to whom our forces were but as a mere handful,
defeat was inevitable. At the point where the fight
occurred, there are two roads diverging, one leading
to Staunton, and the other to Waynesboro, a small
town on tbe Central Railroad,' on the other side of
Blue Ridge Mountain, immediately at its foot; both
points are about equally distant.
. ” Fearing to fall back upon Staunton, lest the
enemy might cut them off by moving on Waynes
boro, our forces retreated in the direction of the
latter place, saving their artillery and wagon trains.
There was a rumor on the street that our iorcos had
been muted, and had sustained considerable disaster
in their retreat; but this is not so. A despatch, re
ceived yesterday morning by the Secretary of War,
stated distinctly that we nad saved ourartilloryanu
wagon trains, pretty good evidence that our retreat
was conducted in good order.
“ The worst news of the whole affair is that Ge
neral Wm, E. Jones was certainly killed in the
fight. This is melancholy news indeed, for he was
decidedly one of the best cavalry officers in the ser
vice, anu one whom thocountry can ill afford to lose
at this juncture. He was an officer in the old army,
if we mistake riot, Where he left a reeord of inuc h
distinction, and was as brave and fearless a spirit
as ever drew" sword. His operations in this war
have been mostly confined to western Virginia, and
arc too fresh in the minds of the public to need any
review' at this time. Since his demise, the command
devolves upon General Vaughan, who, wo believe,
is of Tennessee." The enemy, we .learn, was under
command of General Hunter, successor of the van
quished Dutch General SigoD
“ The despatches received yesterday by the De
partment were confirmatory of the facts stated
above!” It was understood that a despatch had been
received last evening, reporting that the enemy had
taken Staunton. Fortunately for us, if this even bo
true, they can- do us but little harm, unless they
burn the town, which we think they hardly will do,
all our stores and supplies having been removed
from there as mueh as a week ago. Rumors wore
flying around the city last night reporting that the
"enemy had also reached Doxington, and burned the:

FURTHER FROM KENTUCKY.
Louisville, June 11.—Headquarters has just

attack until General Burbridge, who, at last ac
counts, was at Doxington, shall arrive there.

went towards Frankfort, an escort of forty soldiers
on board fighting a; following force of rebels at
various points. .••••• : .-
The rebels had obstructed the road in several
places between Lore and Bagaad/by felling trees,
etc., across, and destroyed the bridges in the rear of
the ordnance train, as it returned from Bagdad
toward Frankfort. j
: It is supposed the train arrived safely at Frank
fort, but telegraphic communication was not yet

GRANT’S MOVEMENTS ON THE" JAMES
IUYER.
SHERMAN’S ADVANCE MORE FOB
MIRABEE THAN EVER.
PERSONAL A»VJERTfISEWBNTS.
Late Richmond papers received by us last night
contain much Interesting matter.
UNION PRISONERS.
The Richmond Enquirer of the BUI says:
To-day over one thousand of the Yankee prisoners
nowhere will ho sent to Andersonville, Georgia,
where a general depot for their reception has been
established. On Thursday another thousand will
follow. This Is done to make room for tho con
stantly Increasing numbers that find their way here
from Grant’s armv. If any are retained hero this
summer they wilfbe sent to Belle Isle.
The Federal officers now in our custody are quar
tered at ftlncon, Georgia. The privates and non
commissioned officers are at Camp Sumpter. Ander
sonvdlc, Ga. The friends of these prisoners in tho
United States should note .this' change. To insure,
with positive certainty, a letter reaching Its destina
tion, alter its arrival by flag of truce in Richmond,
the writer should n all cases pre-pay the postage
by which means all delay ig avoided.
There are over 1,500 Yankee prisoners at-Anderson-'
ville, Georgia. The editor bC/lhe Albany Palrioi
says that upwards of 3,000 have'died since their re
moval to Amlersonville, the mortality averaging
daily thirty-five, with every prospect of a large in
crease. €>n the night of tho 14th, thirty-two died
GRANT'S OPERATIONS ON THE JAMES RIVER.
[From the Enquirer of the Sth. I
Scouts report that on Saturday last the enemy
towed up .fames river, above the month or poweip*
creek, a pontoon bridge, with, sixty tents pitched
upon it. Perhaps this is the bridge upon which
Grant hoped to pass after breaking through the
lines of General Lee. But as he failed*to force his
way through, the aforesaid pontoon bridge may
prove useless above tin) mouth of Powell’s creek,
•which is in Prince QeOrge county.
This constructed:pontoon bridge will span the
river, and should Grant reach the .Tames river near
Harrison’s Landing, or opposite oity Point, it would
bnaVlc him to throw his army speedily across, and
push on to Petersburg, while Gen. Lee was making
the circuit around by Richmond. The south, side is
now the point for which Grant is making—ha has
abandoned all hope of taking Richmond except
by siege—by taking ; possession of Petersburg,
and with his cavalry cutting and destroying
the Danville railroad and starving the cityinto
surrender. He i$ endeavoring to repeat ike
Vicksburg campaign. His failure to cross the
Chicknhominy may materially alter his plans;
but should ’he once succeed in fixing himself
on the south side, either north or south of the Appo
mattox, while his army would be no : more formid
able there than anywhere else, his cavalry could do
us mvchdamage and put us to many inconveniences.
It is rumored that a cavalry command from the
James river crossed the Chiekahominy yesterday,
at the Forgo Bridge, in Charles City county, going
to Grant’s army. It is supposed.to be a party
reconnoitring the way for Grant to the James
river. All circumstances point to Grants going over
the James, if Lee will permit Kim.
SIEGE OS* RICHMOND.
[From the Riclimoud Examiner, June 9.3
After alluding to the comments upon this subject
inthc Northern press the leading article in the Ex
amincr concludes as follows;
The citizens, if we may judge by their quiet in
difference. did not believe one word pHt, They begin
to doubt m existence of.Gi-ahVs army . Let Grant
prove it. Here is Richmond waiting to be taken;
built evidently to be taken; predestined to be taken,
robbed and burned, according to very high authori
ties. And It is clear, also, that the whole heart of a
great and mighty nation, of all the mighty nations
the roightest, and the best, has been -set upon this
achievement, as its highest business, and holiest
mission upon earth. And there are not wanting
eager, eloquent, voluble writers for the public press,
of that same people, most enlightened press of all
creation, protesting, affirming, and almost swearing
that large and numerous bodies of persons In uni
form, wearing buttons,, carrying weapons, in fact,
what Yankees call armies, were most certainly
coming this way on the errand aforesaid; and that
Richmond was to consider herself besieged, or, for
that matter, as good a 3 taken. There is a very gene
ral incredulity, about this whole matter. Perhaps itis
because weaxenow soused to Yankee lying as to set
down anything false because they say it, or perhaps
it is. that our citizens have heretofore read in books
about besieged cities, and had the impression that
in such cases people could not go in or out; meat or
vegetables could not come to market from the coun
try, and, no matter how tempting the summer
weather, family parties could not make picnics to the
rural districts. And finding none of these conditions
in the present situation, they say that there is no
siege. They surmise that the whole story of those
vast hosts, and this investment of a city, and bloody
arbitrament of the great world conflict of the age,
must have been got up in order, to amuse or detudo
a convention , now said to be assembled at Balti
more. And they begin generously to doubt -whether
it be indeed. true, or was true a few days ago,
that some of the largest armies ever embattled upon
earth advancing -With a celerity never
before known, to decide the destinies of a continent
in our and seal the errand charter of her
man, freedom in flame and blood, amidst the confla
gration of our crashing dwellings,and the murderous
shrieks of a hundred thousand- souls. They say,
“Booh!” Say there'has been.no such battle in
hand at all. Let Grant prove it. If he has any
army, let him produce it j let him prove his own ex
istence to begin with. Richmond is open to correc
tion, and is tired of waiting to be taken. It is
rather a drowsy affair, this Tife In a besieged city.
Richmond is in danger of falling /asleep upon her
seven bills fn this still and sultry atmosphere. We
can conceive; of a certain lazy somnolence which
seems to be crushitg out our people.

A Popular Domestic Institution.—Tkeworld
renowned Wheeler & "Wilson Sewing Machine, sold;
at the Wardrooms of the Company, No. 704 Chest
nut street, has become a “domesticinstitution, 35 the*
popularity orwhich may : be: judged from the fact
that there are to-day over jive thousand of these in
valuable instruments in use in this city alone. The
great peculiarity of the Wheeler & Wilson Machine
is, that no one is ever disappointed in the way in
which it operates.' : It sews, hems, tucks, gathers,
binds, fells, and. performs all the most delicate
and artistic- stitching with a degree of strength;
elasticity,.* and precision never attained by
any other sewing machine. It is, moreover, a
beautiful ornament; is so simple, in Its movements
that a child can operate it, and so perfectly con
structed that it is almost impossible for It to get out
of repair. Purchasers of the .Wheeler- & Wilson
machines are, instructed in the use of them by com
petent teachers, without cither at their
homes, or at the Instruction Rooms, 704-Chestnut
street. Every machine is sold with a guarantee to

and that is to direct the attention, of our readers
Visiting the city during the Pair to the fine Art Gal
lery of this firm, at 912,914, and 916 Chestnut street.
Of eotirso, many will embrace the opportunity of
having their pictures taken while here, and a look
through this princely including every
phase ortho photographic art that lias ever been de
veloped, will enable them not only to determine what
style of picture or pictures to order, but mAcre to
order them. Mr. Wcnderoth, whom wo believo-to
bo tho most inventive artist in America, personally
superintends the artistic department of this im
mense establishment, while tho various mechanical
prccesscs are all entrusted to persons of talent and
experience. The result is, that the pictures of this
firm have a wider reputation for vividness of ex
pression, brilliancy of softness of tone, ami
general artistic excellence, than any others produced
in tho United States.

The Siege op Richmond ts iskqun ; Grant has
marshalled his legions and inspired them with the

dead as a mackerel. All the time during which the

ergo, faro was fowl, aud fowl was fair. But this re
markable fact furnishes no substantial reason why

We respectfully invite your attentica to and conside
rationof the justly celebrated and re;able remedy for
Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Debility, and Prostration. Tbe
proprietors are proud to acknowledged unparalleled
success wbicb has attended tbe sale of heir valuable
preparation, known in nearly every portion of tbe
civilized world as tbe “GOLDEN BITTESS.”
We risk nothing when we term them a vdtua&k pre
potation, for they are one of tbe few aricies of th
present day which are not a humbug; and ue are wU
ling and able to satisfy any person or personj who will
call upon us, that the celebrated “Golden Bitters” are
a genuine, bonaJSde hypienie article. Jt is the wish of
the proprietors that tbe virtue oHh e article be tested be*
fore condemning.. A decision of th%i T merits by any one
who has tried them is worth a minion of purchased
bogus testimonials. For creating a hetjthy APPETITE
they are invaluable, and are unequalled a TONIC.
They are mild in their action, and ope raw in giving
vigor and strength to the sysiem—not'by any changa
they produce in the solids, hut through the meuta.mof
the living principle. They are purely VEGETABLE,
being composed "of Gentian Boot, Calamus, Rai>s%fr^ t
and many other remedial agents of the Vegetable world,
all preserved in Jamaica Rum and Sherry Wine.
' AS A BEVERAGE
they are the most toholesome, invigorating, and pala
*toble stimulant ever offered to the public. And the fact
of their being prepared chemically and :ecientificaHy
precludes the possibility of a bitter, unpleasant taste,
common to Bitters generally offered for sale. We es
pecially recommend them toLADIBS, and particularly
to those suffering from Debility, Weakness, and Pros
tration. Half a wine glass of these “Bitters’* three or
four times a day will produce a remarkable healthy
change in persons greatly debilitated. The * l4 Golden
.Bitters” have been tried and not found wanting. They
are put up in our own patejit quart bottles, and for sale
