EXTRACTS FROM "MANHATTAN'S" UST/TR.
New You, May 17.
To
give you an ides of tire superiority of Grant over
M'Clr RIM in the slaughter bumbler, it is only necessary
for me to say that according to the official report of
M'elellan, his loaies before Richmond oaring with the
reven days were 1582 killed • wounded, 7,700 ; missing,
, 5,968; total 15,249. Grantts term Weeks *input up six
times that total.
It is a difficult matter to get a surgeon in New York,
or in any other city. All the leading surgeons have
gone to the battle-fields, to attend to the wants of the
fifty or silty thenund that are woutided there. Tire
Government is still sending on for more surgeons from
the States. Feeenty or eighty will leave the fit.
Nicholas to-night. Fowl' wounded men uncared for—
some of them ten to fourteen days. This is one of the
worst of our civil war horrors. We cannot glee •
gue a of hc• many have died that were alive and well
in April, 1861.
We have really some eases of soldien that seem
miraculous. A boy 111103 ed Junes MTord went to the
Potomac in the spring of 1861. He fought in every
battle, and his regiment was annihilated. He came
home wounded laat week. He has risen to be •
lieutenant. kirdley cud Co., the large candy manu-
facturers, heard of Ilia case, and the workmen in their
employ bought M'Cord a sword. It was presented
to him on Memday by William A. Fritz, one of the
firm, with an appropriate speech. What luck. He is
one out of 1,909 saved in • regiment Th. Governor of
New Jersey announced that in three of the regiments
from that stole the numbers had been reduced by death
to 81,40, and 28!
The disgraceful wholesale lying about the war and
victories *WI continues. Nothing like it has ever been
heard before wince t 1.6 world began. Many believe we
have really achieved a great victory. There is one man
who does nnt believe it, and that one is Lieut-Generel
Grant. For the first six days of battle his army was
being exterminated so rapidly that had it continued two
days longer be would have fled the battle-field. He is
daily supplied with reinforcements. Troops go from
here. Troops go from the west The fortifioations
about Washington have been drained of troops to go to
the aid of Grant. At least 100.000 have been Sent on
since Grant eenunenced fighting, and the new men
have been engaged Is MOO of the severest battles. It
is estimated that Grant has lost 85,000 to 100,000 men
—wounded and killed. The Confederates do not num
to have bad a fancy for taking prisoners, se they would
he an embarrassment. In spite of all the lie. of Lee
being wounded, in retreat, and so forth, he hu not
fallen back one rade. He i 1 still at Spottcylvania
Court House. What a burlesque, the thanksgiving
proclamation and thanksgiving ! Grant to-day cannot
move • mile without more men are sent to biro.
From Florida we have news that one of our war
versels, the Harriet A. Weed (she was named after one
of the daughters of Thorlow Weed) was blown up by
a torpedo in Cedar Creek, killing and wounding many
persona on board.
Charleston bad been attacked again ; as usual, with no
effect.
It is almost impassible to get a lemon in New York—
not even at a dollar each. The chairman of the
sanitary couimittee ordered all the lemons to be bought
up and sent to the Fredericksburg hospital* for our
wounded soldier,.
The news is confirmed that General Stuart, of the
Confederate cavalry, ia dead. He was • Baltimore man,
and in former yews commanded a crack regiment of th.-
City Guards. He was a very handsome man; his less
will be felt When the report came that General Les
was wounded I heard one of our leading merchants
observe, " I would purchase a cartlud'of gold and give
it away if it woukl nature him."
' The 14th of May Secretary Chase made it public
that we oeed over 1,731 millions of dollars. It would
be • isle investment to bet that old Chase don't know
, within five hundred or • thousand millions how much
we do owe. It may be his 200 steam printing praises
have run more rapidly than he has calculated.

To IPreill RASA. —These splendid and formidable
vowels are now part of the British navy. This event
will be hailed with satisfaction by all Boglithmen.
The affair has been satisfactorily settled with credit to
all parties committed. Nothing would have been decided
by the trial but some remote point of law on the con-
struction of an obscure &Sof parliament, passed for the
correction of • temporary evil in a past age. The public
now know the terms of settlement. This they would
not have known bat for the misplaced seal of the
Solicitor General. Before his elevation to his present
high office this gentleman had the honour to be the
socumel of the American minister. Of course heresignal
this post on taking office under the Crown; but his
mind is still tinged with • lingering fondness for his
former friends, and on Thursday, the 26th ult., •ithout
instructions, without consultation with his col-
leagues, without due consideration of the existing
agreement contained in a written correspondence, he
wandered into the Court of Exchequer, and there,
a to nothing, informed the Court that
ttrtie of the " ram." would not be tried.
Now, this information might have been with equal
propriety conveyed to the chief baron in private, and
probably would have been so conveyed by the Attorney
General. But the Solicitor General thought otherwise;
and having sll the field to himself, he indulged in • fine
flourish on the generosity of the Crown,and the humilia-
tion of the defendants. "Th. Crown did not want to
pupal) individuals by fine or forfeiture, though the de-
fendants had withdrawn their claim and submitted
to • judgment." Our readers will judge for
themselves of the feelings of indignation with
which this statement in the public prints must have
been read by the parties most deeply interested. Not
a moment was lost in calling the attention of the
Attorney General to the bestow consequences this
statement, if unoontrsdicted, would cause to the
character and standing of the defendants, and the
Attorney General, in a stmightfotward and manly
winner, at once consented to put the matter right.
The country will see in this arrangement that there has
been no yielding on either side. The legal proceedings
would have been barren of any useful result. The
vesseli might have lain for years encumbering the use-
ful water apses of the Mersey—a floating record of the
folly and timidity of a British officer; the feelings of
different iections of the public would have become ea-
&operated ; the public money would have been
squandered. All this has been avoided by the eththise
of calm judgment. Tue Crown will ray a fair price for
the ships. and Parliament may now proceed to consider
the expediency of passing • froth act, couched in intelli-
gible language. The result of this last week's proceed-
ings will, however, teach Government one importing
Imam, that the legal officers of the Crown should be
selected from =omit the independent members of the
her, and that, however vast the conic's, pure the
charsoter, or extensive the legal acquirements of • gen-
tlemmo may be, it is not expedient to appoint to • high
office under the Crown the advocate of a foreign Go-
vernment, merely because be happens to be an un-
flinching supporter at his own political party—Lever-
pool Albion.
