The official bulletins of war movements are as
follows :

War Department, Washington, Saturday,
June 11, 3 30 p.m.
Official reports from the Army of the Potomac down to
5 o'clock yesterday evening detail no movements o f import-
ance. A despatch from General Sherman dated yesterday
states that our cavalry yesterday (Thursday, the 9th) deve-
lope the position of the enemy in a line along the hills
from Kenesaw to Lost Mountain, and are now mat thing by
the roads to Kenesaw. A despatch from General Butler
dated this morning at 1 o'clock reports all quiet along our
lines. Yesterday General Kautz charged the enemy's works
at Petersburg and carried them, penetrating into the town,
but not being supported by General Gilimore, who had
withdrawn his forces without a conflict, General Kautz
was obliged to withdraw without further effect. Gene-
ral Kautz captured 40 prisoners and one piece of artil-
lery, which he brought away. A despatch from General
Canby, dated Vicksburg, June 4, says that General Emery
reports that an attempt by Taylor's force to cross the Atcha-
falaya had been frustrated, the troops that had crossed dis-
persed, and a large quantity of commissary stores and
clothing captured. General Burbridge, commanding in
Kentucky, in a despatch dated yesterday at Lexington, re-
ports that, after concentrating a force at Beaver Creek on the
Big Sandy, I moved against Morgan's force in Virginia
west as far as Gladeville. Morgan, with 2,500 men, moved
into Kentucky, via Whitesbury. I pursued, and by march-
ing 90 miles in 24 hours came upon him at Mount Stirling
yesterday morning, and defeated him. By stealing fresh
horses he reached Lexington at 2 o'clock this morning. Our
forces held the fort, and the rebels did but little damage.
He left here at 7 a.m. for Verslilles. I start in pursuit with
a fresh force, this evening. No efacral report has yet been
received from General Hunter.

EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War.
Major-General Dix.

War Department, Washington, June 12, 12 m.
A despatch from General Hunter, dated 6 o'clock in the
morning of the Bth inst. at Staunton, reports
" We met the enemy at Piedmont last Sunday, the sth
inst., killing William E. Janes, their commanding General,
and totally routing them, after a battle of 10 hours' dura-
tion. We have captured 1,500 prisoners altogether-1,000
men and over 60 officers on the field of battle—also 3,000
stand of arms, three pieces of artillery, and a vast quantity
of stores. We have to-day effected a junction with Generals
Crook and Averill."

It is stated in another despatch, unofficial, dated Stalin.
ton, June 9 :

"Our infantry is now engaged burning ties and bending
rails east and west. All Government and railroad build-
ings have been burnt at Staunton. We leave to-morrow."
A despatch from General Grant's headquarters, dated
yesterday, at 4 p.p., reports :
" Rebel cavalry having yesterday made a dash into Wil-
son's lines near the Jenny-house, Wilson this morning sent
out a part of M'lntosh's brigade to see where the enemy was.
Their pickets were driven back and their outer line forced
the cavalry passing over the intrenchrnents. About a mile
west of Bethesda Church M'lntosh came upon Field's divi-
sion of infantry, and having accomplished the purpose of
his reconnaissance retired. He killed and wounded a num-
ber of rebels in his progress, and brought away four or five
prisoners. He had 16 men killed and wounded."
Despatches from General Sherman, dated at his head-
quarters, Big Shanty, Georgia, this morning, have been
received. They state that our lines are within 400 or 500
yards of the enemy, but no fighting yet.
EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War.
To Major-General Dix.
War Department, Washington, June 13 (Midnight).
We have despatches from the Army of the Potomac as
late as 8 o'clock this morning. The movement was at that
hour in successful progress. No reports to-day from Gen.
Sherman. The following despatch from Gen. Burbridge,
commanding in Kentucky, has just reached here :—" I
attacked Morgan at Cynthiana at daylight yesterday morn-
ing, and after an hour's hard fighting completely routed him,
killing 300, wounding nearly as many, and capturing nearly
400, besides recapturing nearly 100 of Gen. Hobson's com-
mand, and over 1,000 horses. Our loss in killed and wounded
was about 150. Morgan's scattered forces are flying in all
directions, have thrown away arms, are out of ammunition,
and are wholly demoralised " Despatches from Gen. But-
ler at 9 o'clock this evening indicate no change in the com-
mand. No further intelligence has been received from
Gen. Hunter.

EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War.
To Major-General Dix, New York.
Gen. Lee's official report a the battle of the 3d
has been published :
Head-quarters Army Northern Virginia,
June 3, 4 35 p.m.
About half-past 4 a.m. to-day the enemy trade an
attack upon the right of our line. In front of General
Hoke and part of General Breckenridge's line he was re-
pulsed without difficulty, He succeeded in penetrating
a salient in General Breckinridge's line, and captured
a portion of the battalion there posted. General Fin-
negan's brigade of Mahone's division, and the Maryland
battalion of Breckinridge's command immediately drove
the enemy out with severe loss. Repeated attacks were
made upon General Anderson's position,
chiefly against his
right, under General Kershaw. They were met with great
steadiness and repulsed in every instance, The attack ex-
tended to our extreme left, under General Early, with like
results. Later in the day it was twice renewed against
General Heth, who occupied Early's left, but was repulsed
with loss. General Hampton encountered the enemy's
cavalry near Hawes's shop, and a part of William H. F.
Lee's division drove them from their entrenchments. Our
loss to-day has been small, and our success, under the
blessing of God, all that we could expect. Respectfully,
R. E. LEE, General.

With regard to the night attack following, his
report is :

Last night, after the date June 4, 8.30 p.m.
of my despatch, Generals
Breokinridge and Finnegan were attacked by the enemy as
they were preparing to re-establish their skirmish line. The
enemy were soon repulsed. Immediately afterward an at-
tack was made upon Gen. Hoke's front, with a like result.
Up to this time of writing nothing
has occurred along the
lines to-day, except skirmishing at various points. The
position of the army is substantially unchanged.—Respeot-
fully,
R, E. LEE, General.
Hon. secretary of War.

reception. The attack was readily repulsed,
with but little
loss on our side, but that of the enemy is represented again
to have been extremely heavy. Grant, by adopting Breck-
inridge as his favourite, will make him one of ours if he
continues to dose the enemy after the present fashion. A
gentleman whose residence is within the enemy's lines was
arrested by them and taken before Meade and Burnside,
who, after interrogation, released him. From what he heard
he is of the opinion that Grant is endeavouring to reach
the White House. The men told him they were on half ra-
tions. The medical director of Anderson's (Longstreet's)
corps states that up to yesterday morning the total number
of casualties in the corps, killed, wounded and missing in
the fights around Richmond, is only 263. This corps, it will
be recollected, has taken part in nearly every engagement
since the enemy crossed the Pamunkey.
Army of Northern Virginia, June 4.
Nothing of interest occurred along our lines up to a
late hour this evening. I learnt from reliable sources the
following particulars of the engagement of yesterday, in
which the enemy broke through a portion of our lines held
by Edgar's battalion, Breckinridge's command. The attack
was made in two separate columns, two regiments in each
column, one behind the other, The point where they broke
over was a salient angle, embracing a hill which had been
occupied when our cavalry held this part of the line, mainly
for its importance as a 100k-out station. In moving up to
occupS. the works under quite a sharp fire the troops were
somewhat crowded, and before the line was properly ar-
ranged the point was attacked and carried. The first line of
the enemy advanced about 100 yards this side our works,
but were immediately driven back and the works retaken
by the Maryland battalion, assisted by General Finnegan's
brigade. Our loss in prisoners was 150. In retaking
the works we captured quite a number of prisoners and
killed a large number of the enemy. The attack ex-
tended also to Generals Hoke's and Kershaw's fronts, being
more persistent in front of Kershaw's division; but the
enemy were everywhere repulsed with severe loss. When
the attack was made on General Hoke he was just about to
advance so as to gain a position for his skirmishers. We
took the enemy's rifle pits, but finding we could not protect
our skirmishers in them, or hold them without exposing

SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS.—From experiments per-
formed on living subjects, Drs. Estor and Saint-
Pierre, in seeking the cause of the redness which accom-
panies inflammation, have arrived at the following results
—l. In the case of strong inflammations, the venous blood
taken from the side where the inflammation resides is red-
der than that taken from the other side; 2, the former
blood always contains a larger proportion of oxygen than
the other, generally half as much again and more ; 3, it also
contains more carbonic acid ; 4, that the excess of oxygen
being the cause of the greater redness of the blood, it follows
that it is also the cause of the redness which accompanies
inflammation, In a paper addressed to the Academy of
Sciences, Cr Marce compares the qualities of pure bread!),
to the poisonous ones contained in the compound called
absinthe, and finds that stupor, terrifying hallucinations,
and intellectual weakness predominate among the effects of
the latter. To ascertain whether these effects are peculiarly
to be ascribed to wormwood, from whence the above liquor
is distilled, Dr. Mardy has instituted certain experiments,
from which it appears that essence of wormwood, taken in
doses of from two to three grammes, produces the symptoms
above described ; and that in higher doses it may even
occasion fits ; whence he concludes that nothing can be more
injurious than excess in the use of absinthe.—M, Chautard
has sent a paper to the Academy of Sciences on the pre-
sence of caproic acid in the flowers of the Batyrium hircinum,
which emit a smell strongly resembling that of the he-goat.
The quantity of caproic acid obtained was very considerable.
The same chemeist has distilled the flowers of Orchiscorio-
phora, the smell of which strongly reminds us of that of
the bug; the produce was acid, but not in sufficient quan-
tity to allow of its nature being determined.—M. Hugo
Schiff, in treating the red of analine by various alde-
hydes, has obtained two new series of nitrogenized sub-
stances, which he calls the ethylenic and ethylidente series
of anilinic formations.

STAMPED,....Sd.

demanded a German Parliament, trial by jury, the
liberty of the press, &c. The King, four days
afterwards, engaged to abolish feudal rights and
to establish the civic guards. He submitted with
some regret to the constitution voted at Frankfort
in 1849.
The King (March 15) denounced the "vision of
unity" an the most "dangerous enemy of Germany."
Prussia, in wrath, recalled her ambassador from
Stuttgardt. The King of IV urtemberg, nothing
daunted, ridiculed the " German unitarian spirit"
as "a chimera, the most dangerous of ad chimeras,
for Germany and Europe." All the means used for
this end only produced division and dissolution.
He protested in favour of fostering the irdepen-
deuce, strength, harmony, and civilisation of all
States. Such was the King of Wurtemburg—a
king of smaller territory than many of his more
important neighbours, but of less ambition, of less
notoriety, but less evil repute; of less ambition
abroad, less arrogance at home, and consequently
of greater popularity at home and greater respect
abroad. It is true that lately he suffered himself
to be dragged into the muddy vortex of German
folly and recknessness in the Schleswig-Holstein
question ; but, though taking the German view, he
is not believed to have desired to carry it out as
Prussia has done, by the utter violation of the
rights of a gallant nation, as well as the laws of
war. Happily, perhaps, for him, he has gone down
to an honoured grave beloved and respected, before
in his extreme old age, he could see Germany dis-
graced and humiliated before the world as'a righteous
penalty of an act of high-banded and cowardly
aggression.

We have spoken of the late King's first disastrous
marriage. He married, secondly, Jan. 24, 1816,
Catherine Paulowna, daughter of the late Emperor
Paul of Russia, widow of Prince Peter of Holstein-
Oldenburg ; and by her (who died Jan. 9, 1819) he
had issue two daughters, Maria Frederica Charlotte,
born Oct. 30, 1816, and married March 19, 1840, to
Alfred, Count of Neipperg ; and Sophia Frederica
Matilda, born June 17, 1818, married June 18,1839,
to the present King of Holland. By the King's
third marriage, of April 15, 1820, with Pauline
Theresa Louisa, daughter of Louis Frederic Alex-
ander, Duke of Wurtemberg, his uncle, he had two
daughters and one son. One of the daughters, the
elder, Cather:Uie Frederica Charlotte, born Aug. 24,
1821, marred Nov. 20, 1845, Frederic Prince of
Wurtembe rg, her cousin, and the other, Augusta
Wilhelmin a Henrietta, born Oct. 4, 1826, married
