From Gen. McClellan's Division.
MCCLELLAN's HEADQUARTERS,

MCCLELLAN's HEADQUARTERS,
June 25, Evening.
Gen. Hooker at o o'clock this morning. ad-
yanced his division with view to occupying
new position. The result was that the troops
met with a most determined resistance from
the enemy, which lasted until o'clock in the
afternoon, during which the rebels were fore
ed TO give way before the invincible courage
Of our men. During the day everything ndi-
Gated general engagement, but the enemy
showed no disposition to accept. Our troops
all fought calamity as ever. The loss on our
side was about 200 in killed and wounded.
The following are among the wounded -
Col. Morrison, aid to Gen. Palmer, wounded
in the hand; Capt. Rafferty,, I'd Excelsior, in
the leg.
The loss among the officers of the 1st Mass.
regiment, which suffered most severely, is as
follows Capt Wild, wounded in the head !;
Capt Corruth, wounded in the breast; Capt.
Chamberlain, wounded in the face: Lieutenant
Thomas, arm amputated; Lieutenant Dalton,
wounded in the breast; Lieutenant Parkerson,
wounded in the leg.
Our killed is small in number, most of the
casualties being wounds. The loss of the enc
my is unknown, but is believed to be equal to
ours.
The rebel camp in front of Gen. Hooker's
division was captured, and is now held by our
troops. The ground fought for was swamp
with thick underbrush beyond which is an OPP
en- country. The woods intervening between
our troops and the enemy prevented the result
of our artillery fire being known.
The result of to-day is highly important to
the health of the army, as but little more
ground is to be gained to place our troops be-
yond the swamps. Gen. Mcclellan was present
during the whole day, experimenting all the
movements.

INTERNAL TAX BrLL.-The final passage of
the internal tax bill by Congress, is the subject
of much congratulation. 1t has been pending
nearly three months, and the action of both
Houses was finally harmonized by the Com
mittee of Conference, whose labors have been
very great. The bill is very acceptable TO the
western members, because of the suspension of
the land tax authorized at the last session,
while the tax on tabacco and liquors meets
with much favor. In other respects the
bill is familiar to all, and with the Senates
notifications, which were almost wholly agreed
to, it is probably as nearly perfect as can be-
Its defects can be easily remedied at the next
session. The bill will soon be published as it
passed.-Wdstinyton Letter.

JEFF. Davis Sick at Raleigh.

NEW YORK, June 20.
In an obscure corner of the Richmond Dis
patch of June Is, we find the announcement
that jeff Davis was taken i'll at Raleigh, n
C., whittier he had gone to visit his sick child
A letter from Richmond to the Times saws
Gen. Mcclellan is bringing up from Yorktown
sundry siege guns, some Of which have already
arrived.
1t was agreed between Col. Keyes and Gen.
Howell Cobb, in recent conference, that the
surgeons taken on the field of battle should
not be regarded as prisoners of war, but nom
combatants This arrangement has been sent
TO Washington for approval, and there is but
little doubt it will receive il. Temporary hos
pitals will be put up at Fair Oaks station, at
Savages and elsewhere near the front.
Accommodations for tents have already been
prepared for $500 or 5000 at White House this
will if possible be still further enlarged.
Deserters who came in to-day confirm the
report that Gen. Johnston's wound is very Sc
we're, two of his ribs being broken, and that
Gen. Lee is in command.
Wise is in disgrace and has retired to a coun-
try residence
The Richmond Dispatch of the 23d says
that % deserters from our army were brought
into town yesterday. Some OF the men will
probably be shot as warning TO Others.
The Tribune has letter from before Rich
mond, dated 23d, which says Gen. Peck was
this afternoon ordered TO relieve Gen. Casey
In command of his division near Bottom Bridge.
Gen. A. p. Howe will take command of
Pecks brigade. To Gen. Casey will be assign
ed the exceedingly importent and responsible
command OF protecting the base of our opera
tions at White House.
The Tribune's Washington dispatch says
Gen. Pope laughs at the idea of Beauregard
having reinforced the rebel army at Richmond
by single soldier. He considers the war at
the West virtually at an end.

Municipal Court.

John Riley waited before his Honor yester-
day morning, charged with the heinous offence
of drunkenness and disturbance. Had John
have been less riley, he would not have had to
settle the little amount of two dollars and
costs, which the Judge felt bound to impose
upon him.
Another case of an unpleasant nature came
before his Honor, but we forbear TO publish it,
and also withhold the name of the party inn
mediately concerned, hoping that as it was
his first offence, so may it also prove to
be his last

The members shortly after assembling, pro-
ceeded to the Senate Chamber to attend the
Court oi Impeachment in the case of Judge
Humphries.
When the members returned from the proceed
ings, and the result of the Court of Impeach-
ment reported, Mr. Walton OF VT, as a question
of privilege, caused to be read communication
in the New York Tribune, entitled "Intelligencer
Book job sent thither by one of its Washing
ton reporters. 1t was due to himself as mover
of a resolution to whica reference was made by
one who by courtesy occupies a seat in the re-
porter's gallery, that the charge made in that
article be investigated. He therefore offered the
following resolution:
Whereas, The publisher of the New York Tri-
bune, on the authority of one of its correspond
nature have been made apparently for the pur-
pose of obtaining the action of the House i'm
properly, corruptly and criminally, which
charge if true involves breach of the privleg-
es the House, and if false in respect to any mem-
bers of the House, or others who are implicated,
is breach of the privilege accorded to reporters
by the courtesy of the House; therefore
Resolved, That the Committee on the Judi
ciary be instructed forthwith to inquire by whom
and on what authority such change, and any
other contained in the article referred to, has
been made; and to make thorough investigation
as to their truth or falsty, and report all the
evidence to the House with their opinion there
for, and such resolutions as to them shall seem
meet, and that said committee have power to
send for persons and papers, and report at any
time.
The resolution was adopted-l02 against 49,
The House passed the Senate bill to provide
additional medical officers in the volunteer SER
vice.
The members again proceeded to the Senate by
invitation of that body, to hear judgment pro-
nounced in the impeachment case.
After the members returned, the House ad-
journed.

horses between Cornish and Portland, broke
through the bridge across Hamlin's Brook, in

INTERESTING TO TRADERS WITH THE
SOUTHERN STATEs.-The Cincinnati Gazette
of Saturday says:
"We had conversation with Mr.. Thomas
Ong, who has resided in Memphis for some
months past from whom we obtained informa-
ton OF commercial character, of value to bus
mess men. With reference TO the probable
demand for produce at the South, Mr.. Ong
says the consumption will open very slowly,
and progress gradually, until consumers are
able to buy on credit. Money is scarce, and
cotton, which planters had to rely on for
means, having been to large extent destroyed,
the people are generally in crippled csnd-
ton. 1t is estimated that one million bales of
cotton have been burned up to the present
time, nearly all of which was destroyed by the
military; owners having applied the torch, or
consented to the destruction, in few cases only
As to the growing crops he says, Arkansas
planters are raising, on the average, two acres
TO the ten formerly cultivated As this ground,
from the increased attention given to it, will
produce more per acre than in ordinary years,
the State may have one-third of an average
crop.
In other sections the average crop will not
be so large. OF sugar about 1900 hhds. re-
manned in the hands of Memphis merchants.
Each merchant was allowed TO retain only If
teen hhds. The surplus was sent into Missis-
sippi by the military. Some little sugar was
wasted by careless handling, but otherwise
none was destroyed The stock OF sugar at
Louisiana is estimated at 100000 hhds. 1t
will be sold pretty freely as soon as the river
is opened The principal paper currency in
Memphis, since confederate scrip has been sup
pressed, is Bank of Tennessee issues. This,
though now irredeemable, it is believed will
ultimately be good, the charter of the Bank
being so valuable that capitalists will not suf-
fer it to be forfeited.
"Advices from New Orleans show that con-
siderable business is being transacted there i'm

leans, and drafts on the North were negotiated
with difficulty. Parties going there to trade

DIED OF Extraordinarily Last winter, ION
Sunday, the 10Th of January, we think Mr..
August Nesper, of this city, in company with
one or more young men of his acquaintance,
from this city, was in Dayenport,a nd called at
beer saloon known as Union Hall. They
had lef, the saloon, and were standing on the
sidewalk near the door, when there was
noise of a dog fight inside, and suddenly the
door opened and dog was kicked out. As
the dog was kicked down the steps he sprang
at Mr.. Nesper, tearing open his upper lip and
inAictinc some small wounds on and under
his lower law. Dr. Olshauser was immedi-
a,ely called, ard sewed up the wounds nth
out cauteriziny them. We understand that
the reason given by DR.. 0. for not cauterlzing,
was that he could make better looking lip.
What became Of the dog it is impossible to
tell. Efforts were Immediately made to find
him, but they were unsuccessful. No person
has since been found who could tell what be-
came Of the dog.
