TRIPLE SHEET. | New Work, Thursday, Jane 5, 1862, — TO THE PUBLIC. We have again to request that our business pa- trons will send in their advertisements before nine In the evening, in order to facilitate their classifi- cation under the proper heads. Attention to this fegulation has become more than ever necessary, From the enormous increase in our circulation, which now exceeds 120,000 copies daily, and ‘which obliges us to go to press at as early an hour Bs possible. In order that business people may erive the fullest advantage from @ publicity so extensive, and which is greater than that afforded by all the other city dailies combined, itis essential that they should comply with our effice require- ments. Let them bear in mind that one advertise- ment published in its proper place is worth a dozen inserted at random. THE SITUATION. No news from General McClellan’s army was received at the War Department yesterday in con- Bequence of the storm, which broke down the telegraph line between Fortress Monroe and the military headquarters. We publish in our columns to-day a full and graphic account of the three days’ fight before Richmond, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, from our special correspondent—who ‘Witnessed the entire action. It is unnecessary to recommend the story to the pedusal of the public, for so much of interest centres around this most important battle of the campaign that it will un- doubtedly be read with avidity. We give also a map of the battle field, which will serve to illus- trate our correspondent’s description. 4 The last news from General Banks’ column comes from Martinsburg yesterday and states that the rebel, General Jackson, with his whole force, pass- ed through there towards New Market, which point ft is said they reached on Monday night, though their rear guard was considerably harassed by General Milroy on that morning at Fisher’s Hill, a mile and a half south of Strasburg. The defeat of Beauregard’s army at Corinth is complete. The advance of General Pope, with 40,000 men thirty miles south of Corinth, has de- monstrated that the great rebel army of the West is utterly broken up and demoralized. General Halleck states in a despatch to the War De- partment yesterday that General Pope already reports ten thousand prisoners and deserters fromthe enemy, and 15,000 stand of arms cap- tured. Thousands of the enemy are throwing away theirarms. A farmer says that when Beau- zegard learned that Colonel Elliott had cut the railroad on his line of retreat—as we reported in Tuesday’s Hezatp—he became frantic, and told his men to save themselves the best way they could. General Halleck further says:—We have captured nine locomotives and a number of cars. One of the former is already repaired and is running to-day. Several more will be in running order in two or three days. The result is all I ould possibly desire. WLOnr correspondent at Corinth, Miss., describes the siege of that place, giving the movements of the federal army, the éfforts of the rebel generals to circumvent the plans of General Halleck, the several skirmishes preceding the evacuation, and all the minutia of the siege and its denouement. From his letter we learn that General Halleck’s plans of operations were changed somewhat after he had arrived before Corinth, when he found that the enemy had so fortified the place as to make it a second Manassas. Our gains were not fully known when his letter was mailed, indeed it may be said that the facts and results are not yet fully ascertained even at Gene- ral Halleck’s headquarters, for our troops are continually bringing in rebel prisoners, discover- ing secreted stores and hidden arms, and unearth- ing rebel wealth of all sorts and in large quan- tities. The success of General Pope, above referred to, in bagging so large s number of the rebels, will prove @ severe loss if not a thorough de- moralisation to the army of General Beauregard, and will necessarily prevent another stand being made by the rebels in the valley of the Mississippi. ‘The whereabouts of Generals Beauregard, Price, ‘Van Dorn and Bragg, still remains a mystery. The former—after giving the word ‘‘ Sauve qui peut ” ‘to his army—has probably turned his face towards Richmond, there to join his fortunes with those of Jeff. Davis and Joe Johnston. To illustrate the movements of our army in the West more fully, we publish to-day some maps showing the operations of the Union ‘forces and of the enemy for some time past. The battle fields around Corinth have “now become historic, and the deeds enacted there ‘will form no insignificant ,part in the story of the Yebellion. By the City of New York, at this port, we have @etails of the European news of the 22d of May. General Prim’s letter, lately published in the Henavo, in which he states his reasons for the re- moval of the Spanish troops from Mexico, and un- \Yoile he inboptane af Nempleon with regard to the NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1862—TRIPLE SHEET. et establishment of a throne for a foreign prince in the capital of the republic, produced a great sen- sation in government circles and among the people in London, Paris and Madrid. The Spaniards gen- erally applauded his conduct. In the sitting of the Cortes on the 19th of May, Senor Castro made a speech in support of his proposition to censure the Ministry for their conduct in reference to Mexican affairs. The Minister of State, in defending the government, said they approved the conduct of General Prim and the Spanish plenipotentiary. Senor Olozaga requested that the documents relating to the question should be communi- cated to the House. Marshal O’Donnell said in reply :—I shall examine the papers as soon as I receive them, and shall communicate them to the Chamber if I see that there would be no inconve- nience in my doing so. The Paris Moniteur, Patrie, Constitutionnel, with many other French journals, sustain the posi- tion of the Emperor in Mexico, The Constitu- tionnel remarks that neither the governments or subjects of England or Spain have had any redress from Mexico, as provided for in the allied treaty, and asserts that the conduct of the commanders of the two Queens, in leaving the country without fulfilling the object of their mission, is like that of ‘firemen who should run away when ® conflagration was burning most flercely.”” The Opinion Nationale—Prince Napoleon’s organ—objects to the scheme of founding a throne in Mexico, on account of the distance and cost, and concludes by saying that after two years the throne would be a target to be incessantly bat- tered by the United States.” The London Times approves of the projects of Napoleon, provided France wishes a dominion in Mexico. The London Post has an elaborate article on the position of affairs in that country. After recapitulating the events which have oc. curred since the arrival of the allied expedition, the Post condemns what it describes as the ill-judged misssion of General Almonte, to which it attributes the independent course pursued by France, hinting, at the same time, however, that the General’s conduct was probably prompted by French instigation. ‘The Post justifies the Mexican government in its conduct, ‘‘which is as completely in the right as on many previous occasions it has been in the wrong;”’ and, in reply to the Moniteur’s attempt to show that the honor of France is bound up with the protection accorded to General Almonte, says that that honor, if implicated at all, is implicated in another fashion, since the honor of a great State should suggest the necessity of carrying out aolearly expressed convention in its terms and spirit. Lord Palmerston, in a speech which we publish to-day, declares that Lord Lyons and M. Mercier act in perfect accord in Washington with refe- rence to their official action relative to the ques- tions arising from the rebellion, and that their instructions are ‘‘identical.” The Paris corres- pondent of the London Post makes a similar state- ment. The captain of the British steamship Bermuda writes a letter from Philadelphia to the owners, detailing the circumstances attending the capture of that vessel by the officers of the United States Navy. The communication appears in our col- umns to-day. In the House of Lords Earl Russell laid upon the table the new treaty with the United States for the suppression of the slave trade. He briefly ex- plained its objects, and bore testimony to the ef- forts of the government of President Lincoln to put a stop to the traffic. CONGRESS. In the Senate yesterday communications relative to soldiers imprisoned in the District penitentiary, and transmitting the instructions given to the pro- visional Governors of Tennessee and North Caro. lina, were received. A joint resolution was adopted allowing hereafter a premium of two dollars for every accepted recruit to the regular army, and allowing soldiers enlisted as volunteers or in the regular army to receive their first month's pay in advance. The joint resolution sus- pending all payments under the act making pay- ment to persons employed in the Department of the West was also adopted. The Tax bill was then taken up, and oecupied the Senate till the ad- journment. In the House of Representatives, the motion to reconsider the vote whereby the bill to free from servitude the slaves of rebels was rejected was taken up, and, after debate, the subject was re* committed to the seleet committee, with instruc- tions to report a substitute in effect liberating the slaves of the leading conspirators against the gov- ernment. A bill declaring all persons holding office under the Confederate government forever ineligible to office under the government of the United States was passed. The House then ad- journed. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steamship City of New York, from Queens- town on the 22d of May, reached this port yester- day evening. Our files are dated in London on the 21st ultimo, and contain some very important de- tails of her news report at Cape Race, telegraphed from Newfoundland, and published in the Heraup last Sunday and Monday mornings. Where is Beauregard’s rebel army? This ques- tion seems somewhat difficult to answer; but a “reliable” gentleman has informed a corres- pondent ef a Chicago paper that twenty-five thousand of his force may be found at Grand Junction, on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad; ten thousand are at Kossuth, and fifty thousand made their way to Okolona, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. The Chicago Trilwne says there are thousands of soldiers in the West who were sent home sick, but are now well, who do not intend to return to their regiments until the war is over, when they will report to draw their pay. ‘The Kansas papers say that the President has promised to appoint Colonel Jennison Brigadier General of Jayhawkers, and to send him to the Indian country. All persons holding militery claims against the State of New York are notified to send them, with all necessary vouchers, to Silas W. Burt, Assistant Inspector General, at the Capitol in Albany. All the printing materials, including the types, machinery and presses, together with the build- ings which contain them, of the Nashville Patriot, Nashville Banner, Nashville Union, Nashville Gazette, Tennessee Baptist, and the Southern Me- thodist Publishing House, and the Baptist Pub- lishing House in that city, have been libelled by the United States Attorney. The Republican State Convention of Maine will meet to-day in Portland, to nominate a candidate for Governor, and to take, look over the political field. Tho rain storm yesterday probably checked the fire in the Adirondack Mountains in this State, and eared the Ginton Gownt diate Prison, Some of the goods in the prison had been removed to Plattsburg for security, and preparations had been made for the safety of the prisoners. A correspondent informs us that our Williman- tic correspondept did not give the correct name of the village in which is located the Tribune gun manufactory. It is not Eagle village, but Eagle- ville, Tolland county, Conn, The former factory was destroyed by fire three or four years instead of one year ago. Some inquiries have been made by the Depart- ment at Washington for the reason of the delay in transmitting thither the resolutions respecting the New York Mint, passed by the Board of Alder- men about ten days ago. They were sent by the Mayor to the Clerk of the Common Council yester- day, and Mr. Valentine has directed the resolutions to be engrossed and forwarded to Washington without delay. A regular meeting of the Board of Education was held last evening, when a resolution was adopted appropriating the sum of $18,918 for the purpose of erecting a new schoolhouse in the Twelfth ward. A further sum of $13,50) was appropriated to purchase the two lots of ground Nos. 68 and 70 Monroe street, on which to erect a new school- house for the Seventh ward. Owing toa difference of opinion among the members of the Warming and Ventilating Committee, two reports were pre- sented on warming and ventilating Ward School No. 29, in the First ward. A loag and stormy de- bate ensued, when the matter laid over and made the special order of bi for a special meeting, to be held on Wednesday next, the llth instant. A regular meeting of the Commissioners of Emi- gration was held yesterday; but no business of public importance was transacted. From the weekly statement it appears that the number of emigrants who arrived here during the week end- ing on the 4th inst. was 2,978, making a total of 20,684 during the present year, against 34,034 to the same date in 1861. The number of inmates remaining on Ward's Island is 677. The Treasurer’s report shows that there is a balance of $20,202 65 remaining in the bank to the credit of the Com- missioners. The stock market was very buoyant yesterday, and prices of all descriptions were higher. Governments were wanted at 106 for the sixes of 1881; Central rose to91, and other stocks in proportion. The money market was easy. Callloans3 aS per cent. Nothing was done in foreign exchange. The extreme inclemency of the weather yesterday tended to check transactions in many branches of busi- ness. The cotton market was firmer, witha good re- quest, chiefly from spinners. The sales embraced about 800 bales, closing stiff on the basisof 313¢c. for middling upiands. The flour market was steady, but not active, with a little better feeling in common medium grades of shipping qualities, while higher brands of extra were somewhat irregular, though without important change in prices. The export demand was light, the chief sales having ‘been made to the home trade. Prime wheat was firm, while poor qualities were heavy and prices irregular. Corn was firm and in fair demand, with sales of Western mixed at 4934c. a 50c., in store and delivered. Pork was rather active at the recent concession, with sales of mess at $11 50, and of prime at $9 25. Sugars were steady, with sales of 700 bhds. Coffee was quiet. Of the 3,500 bags Rio and Santos advertised to be sold at auction, only 388 bags of Santos were sold, at 22c.a 22%. Freight engagements were fair, while rates, in consequence of the large amount of room offering, were heavy, and in some cases rather easior. Corn to Liver- pool was engaged in bulk and bags at 8d. a834d.,and wheat do. at 9d. a 93¢d., and flour at2s. To London flour was taken at 2s. 9d.,and wheat at 10d., in ship’s bags. Wheat to Havre was taken at 20c., in ship’s bags. Important from the Battle Fields of Richmond and Corinth, The news which we publish this morning from these two historic places is of the highest public importance. The movements of the re- bels since their evacuation of Corinth, and the operations of the grand army of General Hal- leck, are even of more importance than the sudden abandonment of the rebel strongholdin the Southwest. The toils are fast closing in upon our rebellious brethren, and the avenging arms of the insulted republic are now being vindicated upon every battle field. Thus we see that treason is reaping the ripe fruit whose seed wassown without any regard to ulterior consequences. We now have posi- tive information not only that the Southern army under General Beauregard is demoral- ized and disjointed, but that it is altogether broken up and destroyed. Mutual confidence between officer and soldier has been lost, and the mass of the rebel army is now but little better than an untrained mob. As a proof of this, we may say that the despatches of General Halleck inform us that the rebels can only save themselves by flight. Beauregard has called upon his troops to save themselves—a certain sign that there is no other salvation for those who have been blind enough to follow him. When an older general, driven to the wall by his opponents, found that the fates were against him, and that his power was gone—on his last and fatal battle field—he cried, ‘‘ sauve qui peut.” He saved his own life for a time, it is true, but he lost his army and the empire he had fought to rear, and which he hoped to retain. And so with Beau- regard. He has long enough defied the legiti- mate government of the land, only to end his career by calling upon his deluded followers to “save themselves.” The news from this distant quarter is also important as showing the great distinction of General Pope, @ meritorious officer, whose claims have been as yet but slightly con- sidered by the great public. No general of a corps d’armee in our service has done more than this officer for the good cause in which he is enlisted. One of the most brilliant achievements of the present war belongs to him. Advancing over thirty miles beyond Corinth, he has met the enemy, seized and captured 10,000 prisoners— in addition to three or four thousand previ- ously taken—15,000 stand of arms, nine locomotives, and all the concomitants of railroad cars, ammunition, &&. Such a successful and decisive attack upon any army could only result in its ruin and demo- realization; and this bold act of General Pope, if one had no other reasons, would naturally lead us to believe that the rebel army of the Mississippi has been broken into fragments altogether as irredeemable as Southern bank notes. There will, of course, be floating atoms of the old organization to be found here and there for some time to come; but the solid strength of the hitherto redoubtable Southern army hes been destroyed, and it must now break into worthless pieces under the united pressure of Northern arms and home starva- tion. In connection with this gratifying news from the far South, we have important advices from one of our own correspondents in front of Richmond concerning the recent battles under General McClellan on the one side, and Gene ral Joseph Johnston on the other. Although it must be confessed that the Southern rebelshave fought with all the courage and desperation of our heroic race, still the unwavering resistance of Northern soldiers, and the justice of our cause, have always brought victory to our ban- ners. The rebels have, in fact, reckoned with- out their host. Instead of two days fighting, we now learn that the Union soldiers contested the ground with the greatest determination for three days; and, when the overwhelming host of rebels thought they had got our troops a ‘the “ast ditch,” they were driven from their ground by the triumphant bayonets of our in- vincible Northern soldiers. Brief as is this review of the operations of our army, it cannot but be highly gratifying to the public. The course of our armies is always onward. From the Potomac, as from the dis- tant Tennessee, we hear the cheering sounds of victory. We have already published the earliest ad- vices of the battles fought by both our armies. The graphic accounts of the last contest near Richmond will show how earnestly the Union army before that city is battling for the right, Gradually we are approaching the rebel capi- tal; and even now our pickets are advanced to the line of the rebel works on the last line of defences in front of Richmond. In the last battle with the enemy we took no less than 1,500 prisoners, and killed and wounded 5,500 rebels; while our own loss was not over 800 killed and about 3,000 wounded. The rebels took no prisoners at all, but retreated before the unrestrained sweep of our patriot army. These are evidences of the past—to be re- peated more destructively in the future Wherever the Union flag, Union soldiers and & Union spirit are seen, the cause of right and constitutional liberty must invariably triumph. Commerce.—The Chamber of Commerce, at their last monthly meeting, postponed the elec- tion of Secretary. We hear no objections urged by our merchants to the present incum- bent. The postponement was made on the presumption that the Secretary was cognizant of a suggestion made to the members two days before the election that, incase the President declined a re-election another gentleman named might be acceptable. It is very wrong sometimes for aman to know too much. He had better keep his information and the practi- cal suggestions of others to himself, and not make himself too useful. We have known numerous instances where persons have been superseded in office because they knew too much, and were too little under the curb. But if the Chamber of Commerce wishes to perpetuate its fame among our future mer- chants it will again strive to call the atten- tion of government to the necessity of a direct railway between our city and Wash- ington. Every merchant in New York can ap. preciate the importance of speed in the trans- portation of the mails between leading points; yet they submit silently to thirteen hours travel between New York and Washington, when eight hours would be ample. And this very route is at once the great connecting link— commercial, postal and travelling—between the North and the South, and connects the three largest cities of the Union with the capi- tal of the country. The correspondence and business of the government alone demand this reform. What commercial country on the globe besides this would submit for nearly a quarter of a century to the disgraceful deten- tions caused by the break in the railway line, and all to give a little profit to two grasping corporations like the cities of Philadelphia and Baltimore? When we look at the extent and im- portance of our commercial correspond- ence between the North and Northeast and the entire South, therecan be no doubt of the ur- gent need of increased speed on our main lines of railroad. On all the leading mail routes of Great Britain, France, Germany, Prussia and Austria the mails are carried from forty to sixty miles an hour, and not an instance can be found in Europe where any city is allowed to break the railway connection for local profit or any other cause. There is one railway already directly through London, and three more are building to intersect at different points the great metropolis of the kingdom—a city of near three millions of people. The Southern (or Washington) train for New York leaves at six A. M., and should reach this city at two P. M., being a speed of little more than thirty miles an hour. Instead of that the passengers are landed here at seven P. M., after & tedious steamboat passage in New York Bay via Amboy. Parties with large means have pro- posed to build a first class railroad between New York and Washington, at a cost of from six to eight millions of dollars, provided the government will, after its completion, lend its aid. Then let the government take a first mortgage, and apply the Post Office and mili- tary transportation money to the sinking fund to pay off the road debt. The contracting par- ties offer to do the government military trans- po at two-thirds the rate they are now paying, and to carry first class passengers be- tween New York and Washington, without change of cars, for five dollars and a half. They will also build a direct road to Point of Rocks, which will, with the completion of the Connellsville Railroad, shorten the distance to Pittsburg more than one hundred miles. This will effect a large saving to the government in the transportation of coal from the mines of Maryland gnd Pennsylvania for the sup- ply of vessels and foundries at Wash- ington and Annapolis. To carry out this greatly needed improvement Congress need not advance a single dollar, and every mer- chant, traveller, trader and manufacturer in future years will thank the government that breaks down a galling monopoly and aids in the establishment of an important postal, com. mercial and military line of communication, Will the Chamber of Commerce of this great city condescend to spend a little of their time fn giving their countenance to this important commercial subject?’ By another month their action will be too late. The matter has been before them four months, without the slightest Teport or notice from their committee to whom it was referred. The Chamber has also had before their body the subject of the new postal bill providing for ® uniform two cent postage, the abolition of franking, a free letter delivery, a Post Office money order office and other necessary reforms. Can they not, by a vote of the Chamber, sus- tain the action taken by our citizens in nume- Tous petitions, meetings and reports of commit- tees of merchants? If the New York Chamber of Commerce is a live body let it be made ma- nifest. Governor Stanly and the Negro Im- broglio in North Carolina—What is to be Done? Our abolition radicals, missionaries and ne- gto worshippers, from Pamlico Sound to Bos ton, have been thrown into a state of great ex- citement, wrath and consternation in conse- quence of the very positive anti-abolition and anti-nigger worshipping proceedings of Hon. Edward Stanly, President Lincoln’s Provis- ional Governor of North Carolina. Of the character of these proceedings the readers of the Heraup have already been in- formed; but for the purposes of a clear under- standing of the matter let us briefly recite them. The Newbern abolition correspondent of the New York Tribune commence® his statement with these very interesting complainte—to wit: that “Governor Stanly continues the policy of propitiating the slave- holders of North Carolina, and succeeds admi- rably;” that “his house is the resort ofan ad- miring class of Newberners, Unionists now, late rebels, who are greatly elated at the prospect of affairs;” that “they no longer go about gloomy, moody and sullen, asof old,” but that “they laugh and are merry” over the boast that . “Governor Stanly is a North Carolinian—none of your nigger worshippers.” In our judgment a very strong case is here made out in favor of the Governor, in view of the special business of his mission—the restoration of the people and of the State of North Carolina to the Union; for in beginning with the governing class of its people we think he begins at the right end of his work and in the right way. The abolition specifications againsthim are: 1. His suspension and closing up of the negro contraband schools established at New- bern and other points under the general super- vision of the Rev. Mr. Vincent Colyer, of New York. 2. His return of fugitive slaves to their masters. 3. His expatriation of H. H. Helper, brother of H. R. Helper (there are two Helpers, perhaps more), author of the “Impending Cri- ais.” This H. H. Helper, disgusted at these as- tounding innovations of Governor Stanly, ad- dressed him a letter, dated Newbern, May 30, in which he says, substantially, that he had ex- pected the Governor would break ground to the people of North Carolina in favor of eman- cipation; “but your first act, closing the schools which have been established for the instruction of the negroes, has seemed to me to point in quite another direction.” Helper considers this “a bad beginning,” and desires to know if the Governor intends to follow it up; for, “if 8o,”’ says Helper, “I shall need no further light, and will prepare, as soon as practicable, to leave the State, satisfied,as I am, that I can render the State no service so acceptable to you and them.” Helper is answered the next day by an order from the Provost Marshal of Newbern, acting under the Governor’s instructions, requiring said Helper “to leave this department in the first vessel going North;” and such is the “expatria- tion” of Helper. The scene changes from Newbern to Wash- ington, where the abolition negro brigade, tak- ing the alarm, instantly proceeds to action. Thus it appears that on Tuesday last “the Rev. Dr. Tyng, of New York, and Stephen Caldwell, of Philadelphia, representing the Freedman’s Association of those cities, waited upon Secre- tary Stanton, in company with Senator*Sumner (from whom came the late resolution of inquiry in the Senate upon the subject), to inquire into the authority under which Governor Stanly issued his order closing the colored schools in North Carolina.” It is further reported by the Washington chronicler of the Tribune that Se- eretary Stanton showed this inquiring com- mittee of three “his instructions to Governor Stanly, which contain not a word directing him to enforce the local laws of North Carolina;” and that “Secretary Stanton also said he would not remain one hour a member of an adminis- tration which sanctioned such proceedings as those of Governor Stanly;” and that the Secre- tary “read his visitors the letter which he had just written” to the Governor, “after consulta- tion with the President, in which he was direct- ed to revoke the obnoxious order, and allow the schools (for the instruction of the blacks) to go on as heretofore.” Lastly, in answer to Mr. Senator Sumner’s resolution, the commissions and instructions to Governors Johnson, of Tennessee, and Stanly, of North Carolina, have been sent into the Senate, and it appears that they “are very general in their terms;” that there is “not a word in either about enforcing the local laws;” but that still a large margin of discretion is left to the Governors concerned, in view of the delicate and important duties with which they are entrusted. The facts thus being stated, the ques- tion recurs, What is to be the upshot of this negro imbroglio? That Governor John- son, in shaping his administration of af- fairs in Tennessee, as far as possible, in ac. cordance with the local laws and institutions of the State, has been and is pursuing a wise and successful policy, is abundantly manifest from the numerous and enthusiastic Union meetings that have become the peculiar feature of the times in Tennessee, Maryland and Kentucky and Missouri were rescued from the very jawe of this rebellion, and restored to the Union intact, by a similar policy respecting their local laws and institutions. Governor Stanly, « consistent Union man, has under. taken to initiate the same policy in North Caro- lina. The abolition disorganizers confess that it is working successfully in the conciliation of the slaveholders, the ruling class of the Com- monwealth. They were rebels; but they are becoming Unionists; and this is the difficulty, Our abolition disunion faction has no desire to coneiliate the slaveholders of the South; its objects are to exterminate them, to abolish slavery, to redace the Southern States to Terri. tories, and to recopStruct their institutions eq their boundaries upon a free soil, free negre and negro equality basis. Hence this war upon Gov. Stanly. We may rely, however, upon President Lincdln’s pa- triotism and sagacity to prevent the States of North Carolina and Tennessee from falling under the control of such mischievous fools and fanatics as the Helpers, and such im- placable disunionists as the managing chiefs of our Northern abolition faction. The successfut Union policy of Gov. Johnson in Tennessee we hope and believe will still be encouraged there, and in North Carolina, and in other States, as our military forces occupy them. This is our high road to the restoration of the Union, while that of our abolition Jacobins, knaves and fanatics is the broad road to ruin, dissolution and endless anarchy, involving government, society, law and order, public and individual liberty, life and property, North and South. The country will sustain the President in his wise and well considered policy for saving the Union. Tre Fravputent Issvg or Inptana STATS Bonps.—Governor Morton, of Indiana, and several other officials of that State, are now im this city on business connected with the fraudu- lent issue of Indiana State bonds. It appears that when Governor Morton was here in Febru. ary last he urged the necessity of taking im- melliate proceedings against those guilty of the frauds. But for some reason or other, with which, we are assured, Governor Morton has nothing to do, no action has been taken in the premises. ed The Pursuit of the Flying Rebels from Corinth. Curcaco, June 4, 1862. A special despatch from Cairo says:— Immediately on the occupation of Corinth, forces from General Pope’s division were sent out in pursuit of such rebels as flea westward. General Granger, in command of two regiments of cavalry, soon came in the rear of the enemy, six miles southwest of Corinth, and engaged in a fight. He lost fifty men, but was afterwards largely reinforced, when the rebela were surrounded. It is said that five or ten thousand have been captured. Aportion of them have reached Pittsburg Landing, ew rows to Northern military prisons. News from Harper’s Ferry. THE NUMBER OF PRISONERS TAKEN BY JACKSON— REOCCUPATION OF WINCHESTER—THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD, Hanrsr’s Furey, Juno 4, 1862. Mr, Eicheleger, formerly of New York, but recently engaged in business at Winchester, reached here to-day. Himself and partner were taken prisoners by the rebels, but he managed to escape and walked to this place. ‘the rebels took 2,100 prisoners, forty of whom were officers and sixty civilians. They were taken to Lynch. burg. Our forces hold Martinsburg, and by this time are ag Winchester. Colonel Kenley, of the First Maryland, had left Martinsburg, on parole, for Baltimore, by way of Frederick, this morning. ‘Nine deserters from Jackson's army were sent to Bal- timore this afternoon. Mr. Smith, master of transportation of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, has gone to Martinsburg. He thinks that all tne damage done to the railroad by the rebels may be repaired without difficulty, and the road put im Order by Saturday. The Military Commander in Kentucky. Lousvuig, June 4, 1862.

Wasuixoron, June 3, 1862. ‘The Difficulty of the Seventy-first Regiment Finally Se- ted—The Regiment Sent to ‘Tenallytown Camp" —Ceb. Martin About to Withdraw from the Regiment, dc. ‘Your readers will no doubt receive with no ordinary degree of satisfaction the intelligence of the final settle. ment of the difficulty attending the New York Seventy, firat, and the news that the regiment is comfortably quartered and ready to be sworn in. As your readers at home are watching with aaxiety the movements of the New York Militia, a full statement as to the difficul- ty which arose between General Dix and Colonei Martin ‘will undoubtedly prove interesting. It seems that when Colonel Martin left New York with his command he received orders from the War Department to proceed direct to Washington, On his arrival at the city of Baltim ore, an order reached him at the Washington depot not to go on to Washington, put that arrangements had been made for the convey- anco of the regiment to Harper's Ferry. Col. Martin, on the receipt of this order signed, by Gen, Dix, refused to comply with the same, stating as an ex- cuse that his men had not been sworn in, and, further- more, he had received orders to proceed to Washing~ yon, and that he was going there direct and to no other place. When he arrived there and bis men were sworn in, then he would take his regiment to any point ordered. That Col. Martin took upon himself great responsibility by not obeying the orders of Gen. Dix there is not aquestion of doubt, and, though it might be all well and proper for Col. Martin to see that his men were sworn in for service at the earliest moment, yet the first duty of @ soldier is to obey his superior officers. No matter how harsh or wrong his or- dors may be, there is always a time to seek redress at other hands. Col. Martin always been considered, ‘and certainly is, one of the best drilled officers in our New York State Militia; yet in this matter it is to be regretiod he has neglected the duty of asolaier. But whoever isto be censured it isnotmy duty tosay As stated in my former letter, the regiment, at the demand made by Colonel Martin, were sent on to Washington, the only accommodation furnished them being cattle and freight cars. On their arrival at Washington they were left at the depot, and Col, Martin immediately reported at headquarters the arrival of his regiment. e facts having already been forwarded by telegraph, Col. Martin found himself strongly censured for not com- plying with General Dix's orders, and no sutisfaction could be obtained from the War Department as to what ‘was to be done with the regiment. The only satisfaction obtained was that the men be provided with rations, Friday brought no better success; the regiment was oompelled to lay around the dopot and the streets, and there was every possibility that the gow- ernment bad determined not to accept them on account of Colonel Martin's actions. Saturday found the regiment: in the same position, though in the meantime Colonel Martin had called on the War Department, but with no success. Finally, on Saturday afternoon, he made another appeal, saying that if they would only take his men out of the streets, he cared not what they did with them. Some further understanding was , and the Colonel finally succeeded in accomplishing his purpose, and he thereupon received immediate orders to take his men to “Tenallytown Camp,”’ which is about two anda half miles outfrom tho capital. Here the men were comfort. cared for, and a visit to the camp to-day found them all in good spirits, enjoying themselves, and anxiousi} ‘waiting to be sworn tn, Colonel Martin, it is unders' le intends to resign as Colonel soon, and accept the lieute- nant colonelcy of a volunteer regiment now in front of Richmond.
