THE EVENING STAR. ee WwW. D. WALLAt H, iditer and Pr: WASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY .. SEB OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- @RAPHIO AND UTHER MATTER. NEWS FROM REBELDOM. ——q—— THE REBELS THINK GRANT’S STRATEGS” “ UNSOUND.” ————— BREAD RIOT THREATENED IN RICHMOND. eet A gentleman of an inquisitive turn of mind ‘who has circulated to some extent in the rebel camps lately, bas retarned to our lines, and reports among other things that therebels have been expacting from day today that Grant’: parently reckless movement across Lee’s right Would resultin bis placing him in the trap where Eee wanted him, but they admit that rant’s rapidity of movement and good luck, | —™* 3 rn aanea pepe succeed in an “unsound” | ‘PEE CLEVELAND CONVENTION; U maneuver. Grant's wrinkle of wholly severing his con- nection with his base of supplies and taking the chances of establishing another they say is quite indefensible strategically,—a piece of quixotical rashness, successful only in Grant's case through the same streak of good luck which must come to an end, they hold, sooner | or later. They believe that Grant will not contest Lee’s position on the line of the South | Anna and Pamunkey, but will strike down | omiberiand Coal at $8 towards the York River Railroad flanking Lee's right and opening anew base at West Point. This they claim will be virtually torcing Grant to return to McOlellan’s lineof advance on Richmond, but tney admit that Grant, in reaching it will have covered Washington and crippled Leein men and supplies sufficiently to put it out of his power to carry out any in- | vaeion projects he might haye undertaken during the four weeks or more time required to send the Army of the Potomactothe Pen- insula by water. Lee’s army is tolerably supplied with pro- ‘Visions, but it is a supply eked out day by day by great exertion on the part of the rebel com- Missariat. There was danger of a bread riot in Richmond, from the fact that almost all the , produce seeking Richmond as a market has, by | military order, been diveried to Lee's army. ALL OF THE WOUNDED BROUGHT UP FROM FREDERICKSBURG. ‘The steamers Keyport and Lizzie Baker ar- rived here this morning with five hundred ‘wounded—all that were at Fredericksbugg. ‘The wounded brought up on these boats are | the most serious cases that have reached here yet, nearly all of them having lost limbs. | Some of these cases were found to be so dan- gerous, that it was impossible to remove the unfortunate men from the litterson which they ‘were brought up in the boats, and as they could Bot bear the jostling of the ambulances, detach- ments of the Reserve Corps were engaged for several hours in carrying them fromthe wharf | to the hospitals. | Six died on board the Keyport on the upward | trip, as did also quie a number on the Lizzie | Baker. Five died on the wharf while waiting their turns to be removed, and others breathed | their tast while being conveyed from the wharf | tothe hospitals. It was heart-rending to hear the groans of some of these poor fellows as they were being taken trom the boats to the | dock. | -TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. FROM VICKSBURG.

BETWEEN THE NORTE AND SOUTH ANNA. —___.—___- GRANT MOVING TO OUTFLANK HIM. ————_ UTTER DESTRUCTION OF THE REBEL COM- MUNICATIONS ON THE VIRGINIA CENTRAL RAILROAD. ——>———_. EVERYTHING WORKING WELL IN FRONT, ———_———. Acourier for the Philadelphia Inquirer ar- tivedin town to-day, bringing very late infor- mation from the front. Up to Thursday night, 26th instant, therehad been no fighting beyond slight skirmishes. On our extreme left Grant had thrown a small force across the Pamunkey river, below Sex- ton’s Junction, in the direction of Hanover Court House. The report that we have held Sexton's Junc- tion is untrue, as we have never occupied that point. Lee occupies & strong position between the North and South Anna, along the line of New- found river and of the South Anns, in which Newfound river empties. The rebels are seen busily occupied throwing up entrenchments in front of their line as if anticipating an attack by Grant in that di- rection. It is not thought that Grant will accommo- date them by an attack on this strong position, but is working out a plan which will put Lee or a double-quick again, or force him to accept a fair fight in the open field. The desiruction of the Virginia Central Railroad above Sexton’s Junction has been so complete that it will be utterly useless to the rebels—rails destroyed, cuttings filled, em- bankments thrown down, bridges burned, &c., &e. All the information from the front is in the highest degree encouraging, and calculated to inspire the utmost confidence in the success of the plans Grant is busily working out. FROM FREDERICKSBURG. —— GUERRILLAS FIRE ON SOME OF OUR SOL- DIERS WHILST BATHING, —~—___—_ Parties who reached here this morning from Fredericksburg report that guerriilas continue to hover around the town in considerable num- bers. Many ot them are also to be seen along the banks of the Rappahannock. On Thursday evening the guerrillas, sup- posing that Fredericksburg had been evac- uated, made a dash upto where some of our troops were in the river bathing, and fired upon them, killing one and wounding two. They soon discovered that our forces held the town, and they immediately skedaddled. A detachment of Union cavalry were sent in pursuit, but they were unable to overtake the marauders. The train sentout from Fredericksburg to the Wilderness to bring in the wounded that were left in hospital there, had not returned when our informants left, but no fears were entertained for its safety, as the guard accom- panying it was sufficient to protect it from the depredations of the gnerrillas. FROM THE FRONT. SS THE FIRST ARRIVAL OF WOUNDED FROM PORT ROYAL, SS The cteamer Uity of Albany arrived at Al- exandria to-dsy from Port Royal with seven hundred wounded on board. The men were wounded on Tuesday and Wednesday last in the fighting on the North Anna. Up to ncon yesterday no cannonading had been heard at Port Royal from the scene of Grant's operations, thirty-five miles distant from Port Royal, and consequently it is believed that ifany fighting had taken place since Wednesday it was mosily of musketry. TOTAL EVACUATION OF AQUIA CREEK. ———— THE BUILDINGS DESTROYED. Sip eee The steamer Columbus arrived at Alexan- dria early this morning bringing up the last of the rolling stock trom the Fredericksburg Railroad with a number of Veteran Reserves who had been guarding that point and the road. Some of the buildings were destroyed Thursday night, and last night the work of demolition was finished to prevent the build. ings being used as shelter places by the guer- rillas. THE OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SURGEON GENERAL OF THE ARMLES OF THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST ESTABLISHED AT LOUISVILLE, KY. To facilitate the prompt transmission of medical supplies to points developed by emer- gencies, secure the proper distribution and presence of medical officers and their assistants where their services are most required, and to provide comfortable, abundant, and available hospital accommodation for the sick and wounded of the Armies of the West and South- west, the office of the Assistant Surgeon Gen’) has been established at Louisville, Ky. Tofully accomplish these important objects: Assistant Surgeon General R. G© Wood will have immediate control, under the general di- rection of the Surgeon General, uf the medical affairs in the Military Department of the Northwest, the Northern Department, the De- pariments of Kansas, Missouri, and those com- posing the Division of the Mississippi, except that officers assigned to duty with any Army or Department will not be removed therefrom, unless by order of the War Department. WOUNDED OFFICERS, The following officers, wounded in the late fights, have reported to Surgeon Antisell’s office since cur last report: Lieut. Morrison: 1ith New Hampshire; Lieut. H. R. Whiting, 24th Michigan; Lieut. Jno. O. Meddagh, 67th New York; Capt. J. U. Ware, 10th New Jer- sey; Major J. O. Richart, 6th Onto cavalry; Lieut. Henry Thompson, 61th New York; Lieut. Alfred Newbold, 15th New York artillery; Lieut. A. B. Allen, 2d New York cavalry; Lieut. O. M. Hongh, 9th New York heavy srtiery; Lieut. Albert L. Andrews, Mth In- diana; Major D. F. Parker, 10th Massachusetts; Cayt. Wm. Camp, 4th Ohio. THE WOUNDED. The total number of wounded in the late battles brought to this city from Fredericks. burg, Aquia Creek and Belle Plain, is estimated to be 25,500. This includes the considerable number of Confederate wounded who were Jeftin our hands. As there was but little ar- tillery used in the engagements between Grant apd Lee, the proportion of serious cases is unusually small, and a large number of the wounded will ve able to return to the field within thirty days.

SenaTz.—Mr. Wade called u amend the charter of the city of Washington in regard to the registration of voters—the pend- ing questior being on Mr. Willey’s amendment to Mr. Sumner’s negro suffrage proviso—Mr. Willey’s being in the following words: “Pro- vided, however, that no such resident, who is entitled to yote elsewhere, shall be entitled or allowed to vote under or by virtue of this res- olution.”” This amendment to the amendment the bill to ’ was rejected. The question was then taken 6n Mr. Sum- ner’s amendment, as previously amended by Mr. Harlan, limiting the negro suffrage or per- mission to register to theso who have borne arms in the U. S. military service and been honorably discharged; and it was agreed to. Mr. Carlile then suggested to amend by substituting the word “citizen” instead of “res- ident” in the bill, soas to prevent temporary residents, and who hold citizenship in other States, from voting here. Mr. Willey thought the amendment would not accomplish the object; and On motion of Mr. Ten Eyck, the words “who is a qualified voter in other respects” was then inserted in the first line of the bill, after the word “peson.” Mr. Sumner then moved another proviso, giving all persons, without distinction of color, @ vote who had, during the previous year, paid @ tax on any estate or been assessed for part of the revenue of the city, &c. After debate it was rejected—yeas 5, nays 27. Some further modifications of the first amend- ed provisoof Mr. Sumuer were then made, and it was putin the following form: « Provided that no distinction shall be made between persons who have borne arms in the military service of the United States.’ It was then rejected—yeas 18, nays 20. The bill was then passed. LOCAL NEWS. —_—_—_ A MEETING of the friends of Jno. H. Semmes in the Second Ward was held last evening at United Hall, 11th street. The meeting was called to order By Mr.G. Powell, on whose motion Mr. W. P. Shedd was called to the chair. Mr. George Bowers was elected secre- tary. Nonfinations being in order for a candidate for the Board of Aldermen, Messrs. George T. Raub, Grafton Powell, and Wm. P. Shedd were nominated. Mr. Shedd stated that he had striven todo his cat the lower Board, but he had no de- sire to be a candidate for the Board of Alder- men. Mr. Powell said he had been accused of being @ secessionist, and denied the charge emphati- cally. He was a Union manon any condition. A ballot was had—Messrs. J. H. Yeatman and W.H. Sincell being tellers—with the fol- lowing result :—For Mr. Raub, 46; Mr Powell, 3; Mr. Shedd, 3. Mr. Raub was therefore de- clared the nominee, and the nomination was made unanimous. The following were put in nomination for the Council tiecket:—Thos. W. Miller, Michael R. Coombs, Wm. P. Shedd, J. H. Yeatman, and L. Johnsoy, and a ballot was had, resulting as follows:—Muller, 56; Coombs, 52, Shedd, 56; Yeatman, 10; Johnson, 3. The three first- named were thereupon declared the nominees tor Council, and om motion, the nomination was made unanimous, On motion of J. H. Dubant, a committee of tena John McClellan, O. H. Marsh and Wm. Rutherford—were appointed to draft res. olutions. 3 During the absence of the committee calls were made for the candidates, and Mr. Raub, who had entered the room, came forward in answer to & call, remarking that as «‘Pradence is the better part of valor,” he would not say much, and would return his thanks for the flattering compliment paid him in nominating him for Alderman, which was more than he had expected. He would promise, however, to deal uprightly and honestly with all, as here- tofore, not forgetting his friends. Mr. Shedd expressed his thanks for the flat- tering compliment paid him so unexpectedly. He would endeavor to do his duty in the future as in the past and work for the benefit of the ward and city. The true policy was to legis- late for the masses and not for classes and for that reason he had voted against the bill to in- crease the pay of corporation laborers, he be- lieving that the laborer could command an equivalent for his work. He also opposed the bill for watering the avenue on the ground that it was wrong to appropriate money from the general fund for such purpose to the exclu- sion of other portions of the city. Mr. Miller was called tor, and briefly re- turned his thanks, remarking that he was no speech maker, but if they had any water pipe3 to lay he was on hand. The committee on resolutions returned, and, through Mr. Marsh, reported resolutions en- dorsing the nomination of Mr. Semmes for Mayor, and the nominations for Aldermen and Common Council, pledging themselves to use their utmost energies to elect them to the offices named.
