The Intelligencer thinks that intemperate dis- cussion on the part of some Republicans who denounce évery Conservative or Democrat as a | traitor at heart, and the similar yituperative style of speech held by some Democrats in ail their allusions to political o »ponents, tend very directly and materially to courage our armies and weaken the hands of the Govern-— ment and thereby strengthen the enemy. The Chronicle regards the recent order of the War Department that soldiers whose term of service is about to expire, s all be allowed to arry their arms with themt the plate where ey are tobe mustered out, as & measure not only of wisdom but of regard for the soldier, and that while it contributes to a pardonable | vanity, itsecnres more fully the affection of those who have served th»ir country in the | Sour of her danger. OUR MILITARY BUDGET BRILLIANT AFFAIR IN TENNESSEE. —— SPLENDID DASH OF FEDERAL CAVALRY AT | LINDEN. set BES re THE REBEL FORCES SURPRISED AND CAP- TURED. 6 EP Eee NO CASTALTIES ON OUR SIDE. =e The following was received at the Navy De- | partment this morning: Papucan, TENN., May 14th.—Hon. Gideon | Weiles, Secretary of the Navy:—I am jast down | from Tennessee river, and have on board pris- oners captured at Linden, Tenn., on the night | of the I2th. I took on board the gunboats fifty- five men ard horses of the Ist Western Ten- nessee cayalry, under cominand of Lieut. Col. W.K.M. Breckinridge, and landed them on the east side of the river, sending the gunboats to cover all the landings above and belo Col. Breckinridge dashed across the country to Linden, and surprised the rebel force, more than twice his number, capturing Lieut. Col. Frierson, oue captain, one surgeon, four lieu- tenants, thirty rebel soldiers, ten conscripts, fifty horses, two army wagons, arms, &c. The court house, which was the rebel depot, was burned with a quantity of arms and sup- plies. The enemy lost three killed; our force | mone—only one horse killed. Col. Breckin- ridge, after his exploit, reached our vessels in | safety, and recrossed the river. 1 willsend the Prisoners to Cairo, S. L. PHErps, Lieut. Com’d'g, Commanding Tenn. Div. Miss. Squadron. MOSEBY'’S GANG A small portion of Moseby’s gang are hov- | ering about Fairfax C. H. and yicinity, but not in sufiicient force to create any alarm. Our | forces theré, cavalry and infantry, are amply sufficient to repel anyg@ttack at Fairfax, and grest vigtiance is exercised to prevent depre- dations or incursions in this direction. Tho Tumor of the repeated appearance of a rebel gang in the dizection of the Chain Bridge, had no foundation in fact. NOT DEAD. In last evening's issue, among the deaths re- ported to Capt. E. L. Hartz, A.Q.M, appeared the name of Lieut. Edward Kirby, Ist U.S. Ar- tillery. We are glad to say thet Lieut.

THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE cITy. —— IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS BY A COM- MISSION OF INSPECTION DESIGNA- TED BY THE WAR DEPARTMENT, ——._———_ ; A commission consisting of Ool. D. B. Sacket, Inspector General, U: S. A., and Dr. R. H. Coolidge, Medical Inspector U.S. A.,designa- ted by the War Department to confer that suit- able measures may be taker to prevent the ap- pearance of pestilence during the coming summer from the many sources of disease that exist arouid this city and its suburbs danger- ous to the troops in the city and vicinity, have made a report embedying many valuable sug- gestions and recommendations. They report that they had an interview with the Mayor, who expressed his readiness to do all in his power to improve the sanitary condi- tion of the city, and who informed them as to the action already taken by the city authorities to that end. The Commission afterwards went on 2 tour of inspection, and report first in relation to night soil, that they found large deposits in the vicinity of various hospitals, designated, de- pesited in open or shallow pits, or scattered on the ground. In no case was it covered or de- odorized, and the intolerable nuisance demands | immediate correction. The Commission recommend that deodorizing agents (recently burnt lime and copperas) be freely applied, the pits covered with fresh earth of adequate depth, and that in future all night soil be removed beyond the city limits; members of the Levy Court having stated that they would, if desired, modity the late ordi- nance of that court prohibiting the deposit of night soil within the county. Various other important recommendations are made in this connection. It is recommended that dead ani- mals, which haye been heretofore only scantily covered with earth, if buried at all, be taken outside the city limits and buried or burned. Stable manure in the vicinity of the corrals should be piled and burned once a week. Upon drainage and sewerage the Commis- sion say that as the principal part of the sew- erage ot this city has its outlet in the canal, which is to a greatextent dry at low tide, and all that portion east and south of Seventh street so filled with sand and mud as to be unnayi- gable, that the importance of keeping it filled with water cannot be overestimated, and they recommend that it be kept thoroughly dredged, and that tide-gates be placed at each end of the canal. The drainage of the low grounds north otf K and west cf Sixteenth street, and the low grounds east of Four-and-a-half street and south of Muryland avenue, to the Anacostia, near the Arsenul, is considered essential. Drainage in the vicinity of Lincoln Hospital, and at the foot of Nineteenth street west, is also recommended. As the streets have been yery much injured by Government transportation and requireim- | it is recommended thai the | mediate attentio Government aesist the corporati and repairing Seventh and Fourteerth streets from the river to the hospitals; New York avenue from Fifteenth street to North Capitol | street; and Four-and-a-half street from Penn- sylyania avenue to the Arsenal. The imme- diate repair of Seyenth aud Fourteenth streets is required for the more comfortable transpor- tation of our wounded and for the prompt re- moval of night soil. The streets bordering the grounds of the President’s House on the south and east require thorough police and grading. The city laws relating to nuisances and to the duties of scavenger should be rigidly en- forced, and it is recommended that the Provost General be ordered to co-operate with the city authorities in making inspections and enforc- Ing tee wemitery luwe. These are among the leading recommendations made, and the com- mission say in conclusion, thai they have en- deayored to confine themselyes to those re- comme ndations essential and practicable. | WHAT A BALTIMORE FIRM THINKS OFA REBEL Se HOW A REQUEST FOR A ANSWERED, ase See A Rebel officer, a prisoner in the Old Capi- tol, addressed a nove through the Proyost Mar- shal’s office toa firmin Baltimore, requesting them to send him some money.

JACKSON'S OBSEQUIES, i REBEL ACCOUNTS OF AFFAIRS ON THE RAPPAHANNOCK, eg THE DISPATCH ON THR COURSE PURSUED ¥ BY ENGLAND. . ———-— — ‘We have a copy of the Richmond Dispatch of May 13th, which contains the fellowing: JacKsox, May 11.—A special despatch to the Appeal, dated Senatobin, 10th, says reports from the river represent that (ten. Price had met and chastised the Yankves at St. Francis river. It was reported at Memphis that the Confed. erates had Occupied Pittebarg, Pa. "I Jackson, May 11.—1,000 of Grant's cavalry entered and burned Crystal Springs on the New Orleans Railread, to-day at 12 o'clock. SECOND DISPATCH] JACKSON, May 11.—The enemy are fortifying at Rocky Springs und Western Springs. Gen. Osterhans is at Cayuga with 150 cavalry and six or seven regimentsof iniantry. Theenemy are reinforcing at Wilson Springs and Rocky Springs trom the river. Grant will prebably Savaore eastand not direct from Vicksburg. Vicxssure, May 11.—Nothing of importance has transpired to-day. A barge, laden with coal, ran past the batteries Inst night, The en- emy’s fleet above the city is increasing. : The Dispatch gives the following account of the FUNERAL PROCESSION IN HONOR OF THE LATE LIEUT. GEN. THOMAS «1. JACKSON: The tuneral procession which yesterday took placein token ot regard for the lamented Jack- son, #ilorded the best evidence of the high esti- mation in which the deceased was held by the coun‘ry which is now called to mourn over his deat On Monday night the remains of the lamented chieftain were embalmed, and about eleven o’clock yesterday, in pursuance of public an- nouncement, were taken from the sansion of the Yovernor, through several of the main thor aghfares of the city, to the Capitol, where they were laid in state, and were viewed for the Jst time by his many friends and admirers. Lon ; before the appointed hour for the proces- sion (o move, 4 dense crowd had congregated on the square to pay the last sad tribute of respect to one whom all delighted to honor. The solemn tolling of the bells and the firing of minute guns gave notice that the ceremonies were about to commence, and at [1 o’clock, in obedience to an order of Major Gen. Elzey, the bedy, which bad been placed in a metalic bu- rial case, was removed from the reception- room of the Goyernor’s mansion ard pleced in a hearse in attendance. The procession then took up the line of march. 2 2 «& On striving at the Capitol the coffin contain- ing the remains of the lamented hero, borne by the bearers, was conveyed to the large hallin the southern end of the building and the doors thrown open to afford an opportunity to the eager crowd to look upon the features of one whose death they regarded 45 a great national calamity. Good order was observed, and the e crowd slowly made its way through the rotunéa into the large hall where the coffin laid, and as they passed gazed for the last time upon all that is mortal of the gallant dead. Many of the ladies as they passed shed tears over the remains, and in token of their deep regard for the memory of the noble chieftain, pressed their Hps upon the lid of his coffin. Witnessing the deep feeling of sorrow mani- fested by these fair daughters of Virginia, an elderly and respectable-looking gentleman ad- dressed them in tones of condolence as follow: “Weep not; all is for the best. Though Jac! son has been taken from the head of his corps, his spirit is now pleading our cause at the bar ot God.” For hours after the coffin had been placed in the large ball, thousands continued to crowd in and sround the Capitol, awaiting their tine for a last look at the features fixed in death, The coffiu which contained the remains of the was a metallic one, with a giass door Gn the coffin was raved the simple inscription: « Lieutenant General, T. Zighackson. Born Jan. 2ist, i824; died May 10, 303. All the incidents connected with these inter- esting but melancholy ceremonies were marked by a deep feeling of sorrow. Eyes unused to weep were snffused with tears, and the great popular heart pulsated with emotions of grief too deep for utterance. It is understood that, the remains of the de- ceased will this mornis& be conveyed from the Capitol of Virginia to his late home, Lexing- ton, Rockbridge ceunty, where they will be interred. AFFAIRS ON THE RAPPAHANNOCK. During the day yesterday we had various rumors in circnlation throuchout the city with reference to the movements of the enemy on the Rappahannock,—one of them to the effect that Hooker, having been heayily reinforced, was throwing his columns acr the river at Port Royal, Caroline county, abont twenty miles from Fredericksburg. The information received from passengers on the train Inst night contradicts this rumor, and if we may credit the reports brought down by this source, everything is in a siate ef quiet, with no prob- ability of an immediate advance. For several days past iarge fires have been observed, and black colums of smoke seen as- cending on the Stafford side, which we think rather indicates a retrograde than a forward movement. Hooker does not perhaps feel yery secure on the south side of the Potomac since his late defeat, and itis by no means improb- able that he is destroying stores with a view to fall baek npon Washington. The Dispatch notes the arrival in Richmond of a number of Federal prisoners, and says they dre well clothed and fed: and the great mass of the able-bodied. Peopleare, however, advised not to notice them. “Tney do not de- serve a look, they are too much honored by a werd, from those whom they come to destroy and butcher.” The Dispatch has a long editorial on “Eng- land and the United States,” in which it alludes to recent action in the British Parlia- ment with reference to Adams’ Passport, and concludes as follows: “The British Cabinet is evidently atraid of Jonathan; it will do anything to avoid a dif- ficulty with him. It refuges to recognize the Confederacy. It will most scrupulously pre- serye that neutrality which is throwing ey: facility in the hands of the Yankees and bea ting the most incon venient and serions obstacles in our way. : It will strictly observe all the mest extra gant conceptions of its to the rag coln Government, while that Government is abundantly supplying itself not only with every munition of war to fight us, but is, penlnst right and law, enlistments nm Ireland upon a: to the prejudi hatred of Dagtandinine minds of ie ee which prejudices and hatred are Pp tinted by promises ofaid to free Ireland from British dominion as soon as the South is conquered.
