THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY . - APRIL 7, 18630 “#7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. BEE OTSIDE FOR INTERESTING THLE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer calls for the publication of the testimony as well as the «‘yerdict” in the matter of the War Committee's report, and says, The country wants to read these ps pers in an efficial shape and in their entirety, without suppression and without notes or comments to make them mean what somebody or anybody may desire to make them mean.” The Chronicle, upon the same topic, speaks (in good faith apparently) of ‘the fairness and unanswerable facts of the report.

STANLEY MURFRERSnORO' ge » Tenn., April 6.—Maj. Gen, Hatieck, General-in-Chief: Gen. Stanley has returned from his scout, bringing in some forty or fifty prisoners and 3Wseryiceable horses and mules. He drove Morgan’s cavalry from the peninsula, whipped them from their strong- hold (Snow's Hill) north of Smithville, and but for their precipitate retreat and the difficult nature of the country would have had a ferca in their rear and captured their artillery and animals. The enemy left quite a3 number ot “ dead, and fied towards McMinnville, losing many horses, saddles and guns. y. S. Rosecrans, Maj. Gen. THE PRESIDENT'S VISIT TO THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. eek GRAND REVIEW YESTERDAY AND TO-DAY, ge {Special Correspondence of The Star.} Headquarters Army of the Potomac, ) April 6, Is63. § Editor Star: The visit of President Lincoln and family (Mrs. Lincoln and Master Thody Lincoln) has served to relieve the monotony of eamp life, and hss hada good eflect upon the men, as showing the interest the Chief Magis- trate fecls in their welfare. It is pleasant also to see a Indy in the camp; and Mrs, Lincoin probably had a new experience in sleeping for the first time in her lifeina tent. The Pr dential party were accompanied by Attorne General Bates, The President was the re- cipient of a fine serenade at night trom the bands of the 33d Mas husetts regiment and fth New York cavalry. At ten o'clock to-day he received the officers of the army at his tent, and at noon to-day he will review the cayalry er Gen. Stoneman, and to-morrow at i2 o'clock be present at a grand review of the infantry of the Army of the Potomac. He is exprcied to return to Washington to-morrow | evening. The roads are frightful, and the storm of Sat urday ni-ht has sot us back” for a season in «ur on to Richmond movement; but good Weather must come at last, and then you will h: ar from the Army of the Potomac. The sick of the army now averages less than | six per cent. FURLOUGHED. The Aquia Creek boat, last evening, brought up seven or eight hundred soldiers, on fur- loughs of ten and fifteen days. +<ce + Tue Connxcticr? ELEcTION.—The result of this clection will afford sincere gratification to loyal men everywhere throughout the country. The Democrats in Connecticut put themeelye+ palpably in the wrong by planting themselyes upon a nlatform hy which their | success would have been hailed with more | joy in Richmond than a victory over us in the field. They consequently richly deserved the j drubbing they have received, and the lesson | taught by the result isa wholesome one to be remembered by plattorm builders every where, | t. +, that the people will repudiate any party tat does not come square up to the support of the Government and the war. PERSONAL.—Major General Dix came up from Fortress Monroe yesterday, on the flag | of truce boat Henry Burden. He will proba- biy return to-day. : Charming, piquant Mrs. Wood, will appear at the “ Washington” soon (about Thursday might, say) in Brougham’s rich burlesque of “Pocahontas.” The war horse presented to Gen.

Ten or twelve transports came out empty, following the Goody Friends to Helena, and it was supposed they were intended to take rein- forcements tor the fleet off Green wood; but, as soon as they arrived at Helena, they were im- mediately ordered bi to the fleet in the Pass. The information a ved points to an evacua. tion or retrograde Liovement. The rebel battery at Greenwvod is too much for our gunboats, They cannot silence the battery there, nor can the place be flanked by land forces, as it is hemmed in by water on both sides. There has been no attack upon the battery at Greenwood since my last report. A great many transports haye passed here within the past few days, for Gen. Grant.

Tae INTELLIGENC “PRENCOM AN. —In the spring of tho year the little fishes, such as gudgeons and othersmal! fry, come ont of their muddy seds with such sharpand indiscrimina‘e appetites that they fall an easy prey to young anglers fitted out by indulgent grandmas with lines of homespun thread and pin-hooks, in grateful return for the lessons id urehins heave viven them (the grandmothers) during the winter, in the art of imbibing albumen from j its limy integuments. And soit happens that ; Insunny France “poisson d’ayril” [April fish] is the term applied to a person easily taken instead of the coarse English epithet April f: But « pelisson” would be considered a ye { rough expression in that givilized land, unless { under great provocation.

Burr, No. § | Ninth s Hesrervs. 3 reet north, wus entered by burglars, ot in from an alley in the rear of the ng, and pryingopen a window. About a quarter pastone Mrs. Burr woke up andsaw atu glimmer of a light upon the wall of her | hed-room, and at the same time heard a noise {| below, and a moment afterwards the hed-room door was opened and the intruder exposed the buil’s eye of a dark lantern, and commenced to ransack the room; getting, however nothing for his pains but three thimbles, (two silver j 4nd one gold,) and a few small articles: the hole 2zmounting to but little im value. Mrs. Burr \was so frightened that she could not | move or utter a syllable until the thief had left _ | the room, when she awoke her hnsband, and a | the latter started in y suit, but he got down rs only in time to see the dim outline of the urglar as he retreated through the yard and ; alley To Bk Wexpxp Ovr.—At last a move ha , been inaugnrated looking to the breaking up o the many houses of ill fame, and the dispersion ot the army of prostitutes who now curse this | city. On Sunday night, Col. Baker, Provost Mirenal of the War Depirtment, accompanied by a number of his detectives, started out ow a tour of obseryation, and visited a number of heures, and arrested the proprietors, and all found therein whether regular inmates or guests. Of the latter predominating feature in Gress was Uncle Su:n’s blue, brass buttons and shoulder straps allof whom were taken into custody. An officer wearing the insignia of a Colonel was found in one of the very lowest establisi.ments. This time the Colonel will not anake publicity of the names, but a repetition of the offence will cause their names to be pub- lished to the werld. ee 3 TESTIMONAL DECLINED.—On Satardity after. r of Agriculture, Hen. Newton, received notice that the worthy employed in the Seed Deparimentof his office desired his presence for the purpose of formally presenting to him a superb silyer goblet,” fed with gold, chastely ornament-d and appropriately inscribed in the best style of art, together with a boquet of magnificent ua- tural flowers, as a small token of their per- sonal revard. Mr. Newton, upon being informed of their kind intentions, expressed his sincere regret that his views in reference to presentations of this character were such as must compel him to decline its acceptance, at the same time ex- pressing bis sincere thanks to the ladies for the intended compliment. aS Is THE Wronc Horer..—Last night, Eaw'd Eyeland and Ellen Nuttrell were roving about in search of a room to let, and made a big mis- take, by going up stairs to the rooms of the Young Mens’ Christian Association. In the piussage they came in contact with two young men, when a fight ensaed, and the police ar- rested Ellen and her beau, and put them in the Fourth Ward station-house, This morn- ing Eveland had a horrid black eye, and prom- ised to leave the city instanter, so Justice Fer- guson dismissed him: but Ellen was not so fortunate, and was sent to the workhouse for sixty days.

He leaves all of his property to his widow, which is, after her death, to re- vert to her danghter, and nominates John E. Norris as his executor. The case of the estate of the late Joshua Gib- son has been in the court several times recent- ly. Mrs. Gibson claimed that she had the right to lease the property (resteurant) which is situated at the corner of Seventh and E streets at the sppoeeed value (%1,000,) but Judge Purcell decided that the leasehold should be sold at public sale, and it brought 5,200, being a gain to the heirs of $7,200. eh Sent To THE OLD CapiToL.— Yesterday morning John R. James, formerly a lieutenant in the rebel army and aide-de-eamp to Gen. Jce Johnson, was arrested by order of Captain Jvbnson, of the infantry patrol, on the charge of vsing treasonable langu id singing rebel songs and taken before the vost Marshal, who committed him to the Old Capitol. In the office he gave ample evidencee that he was a full-fledged secessionist, and indignantly re- fused to take the oath of allegiance. He was arrested on the Piney Point boat last sammer under suspicious circumstances by detective Camp, but nothing being found on him he was released, since which time he has been hanging around the corners of this city. ee BREAKING tp HOUSEKEEPING.—On Sunday morning, officers Stuard and Calhoun heard the cry of murder proceeding from the house of Bartley Welch, on K street, between Twen- ty-first and Twenty-second, and on entering found him and his wife Bridget engaged in terrific conflict, haying broken the doors and nearly every piece of furniture in the house. They were both taken in charge and carried betore Justice Drury, at the First Ward sta- tion, who, after hearing their statements—she asserting that he bate her for nothing, and he that he was trying to paceably put her to bed. fined each $1.75, and they left the office, it is hoped, a wiser couple. BEATING HIS WiFE.—Sunday night, Edw'd Dwyer, who resides in the nor! part of the Fourth Ward, was arrested for beating his wife. Aftera hearing before Justice Ferguson, he was ordered to pay $3.91 fine and costs. Dwyer stood on his dignity, and said he wouldn't pay “ad—d cent.” Justice eocen- son ordered him to be locked up in the cells, with the intention to send him to the work- house if the fine be not paid. He seemed to expect his wife to pay his fine, but itis to be hoped she will let him soak awhile in quod. LATEST QUOTATIONS hed by Lewis Johnson & Co., Bankers iagton Monk -—Washington Money Market.
