time our left wing was in possession of
Fredericksburg and of the first line of
redoubts on- the hill behind it, and was

river was crossed, and the redoubts were
carried with great ease and with very
- slight loss of:life.

Fredericksburg) to attack our right wing

Radical Speech bya "Conserv-
'
Among the speakers at a great Union
Meeting at Springfield, Ohio, on the 11th
inst.; was Gen. S. F. Carey, of Cincinnati,
well known thereaboutsas a Conservative
gentleman of the striciewt sect. In c!os•
log `
is remarks General. Carey said:--
"ls,low, a few word on the politics of
particular men. I was not in favor of
Fremont's proclamation, but I. bava got
teligion since then. - [Laughter] This
war will not cease until slavery is sunken.
It has been the economy of God in all
past history to make slave holding nations
tight for the removal of the cause.
"tot at first, but now I am in favor of
using Degrees in any way to assist in put
ting! down rebels. [Cheers.] [Voices,
'that's so.'] Let us save the Union and
the 'constitution, and God will take care
of the white and black races.
"When you hear a wan vaporing about
Mr. iLincoln's breaking the constitution,
with nnthing to say Elbow; Jeff. Davis, set
him' down as a traitor.
"If you think Mr. Lincoln weak, then
the greater scoundrel you are if you do
not Ihelp him. [Cheers]
"A. rebel has but two rights ' —a
con
stitutional right to be hung and a divine
right to be d—d--[terrific cheers. God
bless Mr. Lincoln, with all his faults.
[t oaring applause.]
"ye are making history. let us pledge
each other to make it well."
the speaker then spoke at length of
rhelmarvellous work accomplished by our
government in the last two years. He
spoke of the sacri6eesl of mothers and
fathers, and in the flowing blood of thou
sand s - to leave the heritage of a free goy
erctuent to their grandchildren in great
peace, and scorned the idea of the nation
not' being able is meet its debt. Ho
wanted, and should ever demand, the
right of way to pilgrimages to the graves
of Washington and Clay.
"The rebels are guilty of a crime, but
we frhall be guilty of aigreater ono if we
do not crush them." •
.Some conservative gentlemen, who
left! the United States, some time since,
because it was engaged in What they called

determined not to be conscripted to fight
for the "nigger," hare!, been heard from

our Southern brethren, 'and found homes

Ta r .. CONFEDERATE, DEI3T.—The ra
ful,6l of the Legislatuk of Georgia to
guaranty any portion Of the Confederate
delt, will hasten the collapse of the rebel
finances, as tt will still further knock
down the quotations for Confederate 1
bonds abroad. The quotations, it is now
apparent, were inflated when the loan was
put upon the market, and the sudden fall
has already caused a panic among the
see l ession sympathizers. Withput any
mo l 6y or credit the supplies which have
heetofore been furnished to• the rebels
byj mercenary Englishmen must soon
cease, and this will hasten the downfall
of the rebellion. . .
Where ie great dullness in trade in New
Irerk, and much anxiety Co sell, particu

goids and foreign fabrics. Several large
sat s of foreign dress goods are announced
at, Unction. - Those who are shrewd in
reading the signs of the times infer that
there will be no foreign intervention or
wto, and that the prospect of speedily
IHttitig down the rebellion is considered
to pre much brighter.

county of T,useolu, not a single copper

LIBERALITY or Pnystcr i sss.--It has always

did not originate themselves. This - has been

shows a willingness to Countenance articles
that, have intrinsic merit's which deserve their
attention, ;This does the learned profession
grieet credit, and effectually contradicts the
r .
prevalent erroneous notion that their appo
si ion to proprietary remedies is baesd in
flit it interest to discreld them. -We have

T.I.moN SOLDIER. KILLED EIGIIT
REBELS.—A young man named Austin
Dlacy, uT Montgovery county, Ohio, sta
tioned at Camp Dick Robinson, I(y., with
his regiment,
.was recently sent out on .a
scouting . expedition. After a tithe be
became separated, and soon discovered a
party of Sccesh, who did not notice him.
*Concealing himself, he- fired on and sue
iceeded iu killing seven of them. before
Ithey saw where. he was . hidden. There
being no further chance Macy attempted
to esci.pe, but unfortunately his horse
threw him, severely injuring, and disab
ling him. In this way he was eurily.cap•
tured by the rebels, who deliberately shut
him seven times, wounding and mangling
hint. He was still able to raise up, and ,
shot his eighth man ! An end was then
put to this gallant hew by bayonetting
liiin,and his mangled , reinains were thrown
iutu a mud bole. Macy .was between 21 l i
and 22 years of age. The above partic
ulars were obtained from a Union ivoinam,
who witnessed a part of the 'affair. It
occurred on her farm. She pleaded un
pecessfully with the leader of the rebel;
party fur the privilege of. burying -Mr.
Macy's corpse, but was refused. :
THE FASHIONS IN RICHMOND.—The
wife of a rebel , officer writes in a letter
recently intercepted concerning dress and
parties in the _rebel Capital :
"A calico dress costs thirty-six dollars,
that is three dollars per yard. White
cottons, three dollars per yard; lawns
and ginghams the same. The 'most or
dinary merino or silk one hundred dollars.
A simple bonnet fifty dollars. A parr of
ordinary three dollar gaiters, twenty dol
lars. Notwithstanding these prices, par
ties were very numerous till Lent began.
There was a wedding' next door to us,
which five hundred Teeple attended, and
whore all liquors were abundant, and
champagne, and other wines flowing like
water. (Then follows a description of
the bride's underclothes-the finest the
writer ever saw.) * Everything
elegant. Tho oranges at the wedding
cost one dollar and fifty cents apiece, nod
everything was as plentiful as of
The whole of the wedding paraphernalia
and supper must have cost twenty thou
sand dollars or more."
THE RIOTOUS SOUTHERN LADIES.-
Oa the 10th of April, there. was a cvo-
Men's riot at Milledgeville, Ga. There
were about three hundred won) zn, many
of them well clad, "and some Of them el
egantly clad," says the Confederacl's
correspondent. They pitched into the
dry goods store of Mr. Gans, "a Jew,"
and seized his flue goods. After a fright
ful flurry. the.delicato creatures were dis.
persed tby an eloquent appeal from Judge
Harris; of tho Superioreourt. The cor

Cotton and Sugar In Illinois-
It is riot at all improbable that cotton
and sugar will soon rank mdong the sta

this : spring, and during last Week no less
than six carloads, were sent out of Cairo
and distributed at stations ott the Illinois
