A letter fron Gen. D c. BUELL., dated head
quarters of the army Of the Ohio, to Gen. BEAU
REGARD, commanding the army of the Missis-
sippi, was received on the 19.h, ratifying the
exchange Of wounded prisoners, as arranged by
Gen. BRECKNRDGE.
Col. JACOB THOMPSON expected to leave for
Richmond on the 2Oth, with large number of
the enemy's Hags-HOPhies q the battle Of
Shiloh.
EGYPTIAN NEWSPAPER vs. HOsEA-The
Cincinnati Commercial, one OF the newspapers
printed on the bo. ders, and in the twilight Of
Egypt, says;
If the Memphis papers think that they must
do given amount of lying and slsndering and
cursing and clustering, they had better work as
fast as possible, foT their tine is short
On the other hand Hosea says Of them;
5. What shall ys do in the solemn day and in
tie day of the feast of the Lord
6. For 10! they are gone because Of destruc-
ton Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis
shall bury them-Hosea, chap II, ;, 6.
MIssoURGANs CAPTURED-The St. Louis Re-
publican states that Capt Hampton l. Boon, Of
the Confederate service, was captured few days
since, with several recruits, on his way to join
Gen. Price st Van BuTen, Ark. They were
caught at Hog Eye, twelve miles south Of Mays
vile. Col. J. 4. Boyd, Of Buchanan, was with
them, but made good his escape under cover Of
the thick brush. Boon being with is party in
advance, signaied back the danger, and then
made himself bold and daring but unsuccess-
ful Effort to escape. Several shots were fred.
No one knew Of Col. Boyd's presence, until
Boon remarked to Major Hubbard day or two
afterwards, Well, major, you missed the biggest

Tbs MERRITAC.-In the absence Of any ex-

following from the New York Times viii be
found interesting;
The delay Of a whole month 10 renewing the
attack is only susceptible of two interpretations.
either the MeTTimac was really so seriously
damaged in the encounter as TO require all this
time to put her IL repairs, OF else the Norfolk
rebels are aware of TIE ample preparations that
have been made to meet and destroy her, and
are afraid to venture a renewal Of the expert

more likely. These pTepaTsgous cen hardly be

II &" WhO saved the capital " is a question
that is now extensively agFated in Lincolnite
circles. Says New York journal OF the Sd
instant:
The attempt Of the Philadelphia press to claim
for the small band OF Pennsylvania t, oops who
arrived at Washington on the 18Th of April, the
credit of having saved the capital from seizure
by the rebels, has excited much ridicule here
1t is well known that this squad Of four hundred
and fifty men came here without arms, clothes.
equipments, or discipline and were here for
weeks before they were ft for any service. The
9th Massachusetts was the first armed regiment
to enter Washington when it was belesguered,
and the district militia was the sole reliance for
its protection until the blockade was broken by
the advance by way Of Annapolis

We learn from gentleman connected with
the press, who has arrived here from White
river, that runrors, which have prevailed Of Fed
sral soldiers having visited POcahOntss, on Black
river, are correct. Eighty of their cavalry
entered that place last Friday week. They
stated that they were from DOniphan, in Mis-
souri, where there were nine thousand troops
sneamped. They also said that they were build
ing fat boats on the Current river at that place,
with which thy would descend to Black river,
and thence to White river.
They threatened that they would take Mr..
JOSEPH FISHER, publisher of the Pocahontas
ddUertiser and Herald, prisoner, but took his
parole to remain at the place, informing him
that if be we're not there when their troops came
down, bis house and Office would be destroyed.
A similar pledge was exacted Of the two part
ners Of the mercantile firm Of Messrs. HUNTER
& OAKS, under the same threat of destruction
to their property in case they absented them
selves. They appeared to be well informed
about persons and things in Pocahontas, and
told where the above firm had placed lot Of
whisky. Whether their statements were true or
mere bravadO time viii tell.

A DREAM.
aohi for the touch OF a vanished hand.
And the sound OF 4 voice thar is stilim


dreamed last night of an isle of light
Far of in a waVeless sea,
And never in fancy's widest fight
Came there such dreams to me.
l sailed in boat like pearl afoat,
With never a sail nor oar
vision SO bright ne'er crossed the sight
OF mortal man before
And at times thought that family caught
The snatch of murmuFed song,
Aud strange deep sound encompassed me
round
Like the tread of mighty throng.
Then land so bright broke on my sight
That my dazzled eyes grew dim;
And the sound of ten thousand harps !
heard,
And the tones of a WondrOus hymn.
And oh among the countless thronG
That moved on the shining shore
saw the face of one whom thought
Had vanished for evermore.
Then called again that sacred name
That has not left my breath
Since knelt by the side of an ppturned face
In the frozen beauty of death. Trushed
Then all was hushed, and my mad brain
Back to this earth again, Imy ears,
And Invoke with a lingering sound in
That pierced through the gloom Of dark
euiug years
And sOOthed my hearts wild pain.
But oh when shall ii see that waveless sea,
And stand on that shining shore,
And feel the touch of that vanished hand,
And look in those eyes once more?

Rebellion. They are steadily falling
back in Virginia, before our coIumens ;
and by the very act they fix upon them
selves the stigma of falsehOOd for having

also, that jackson is falling back to join
Lee, and that both are making haste to
cover Richmond
In Mississippi they are falling back
before Grant, and Holly Springs, where
they were to make stand, has been given
up, that they may. find Glitch still further

The state of West YlrrlnIn.

We are glad to see that the people of
Western Virginia are again earnestly
agitating the question of emancipation in
connection with the admission of the pro-
posed new State into the Union. 1t is
proper that they should understand the
value Of time, and not take so long to
consider the matter as to fail to complete
their action this winter, in order to secure
admission at the present session of Con-
gress in which the spirit is favorable to
them. If they fail to do this, they may
rest assured that so favorable an opportu-
nifty will not soon present itself, and the
people of that loyal region will lapse again
under the rule of the slaYeholding despots
of Eastern Virginia.
1t needs but emancipation there to
cause thousands of emigrants from Eastern
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania to re-
move into Western Virginia, where land
is cheap and plenty. Many free State
farmer would gladly avail himself Of such
an opportunity, If he could be sure of
getting rid of the tyranny which seems
inseparable from slaveholding institutions
But while that remains it is idle to expect
any such emigration Land would imme-
dintely become desirable, and every avail.
ADlO ~ wv WOhA0 AAAA - AAAtAAASt.
This region lies north of the great
compromise line of thirty.six degrees
thirty minutes, is not adapted to the cul-
ture of the staples peculiar to slavery, is
generally conceded to be natural fitted
for free institutions like those of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. and is only held in
slavery because of the peculiar position it
occupies between the eastern and western
divisions of the free Suites, which it was
and is the aim of the slaveholding conspi-
rators to separate in interest in order to
play off the one against the other, and
enable themselves to rule US.
If the people of Western Virginia be
in reality loyal, they cannot fail to see
that this position is very dangerous one
for the free State, and might in the course
of the present war make the whole region
the scene of terrible and desolating war.
Had Western Virginia been free State
before the war broke out, it would not
have become the seat of war at all, since
every free State has thus far escaped de-
hiiddelphia North american
and Gdzefte
