CINCINNATI, March 2I-WendelI Phillips, the
notorious abolition agitator, attempted to lecture
at the Opera house tonight, but met with rather
an unexpected demonstration.
He avowed himself an abolitionist and dis
%unionist, whereupon he was egged and stoned,
but got away by the aid of a friend.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-A dispatch from
the surgeon of Gen. Shields army to the surgeon
general at Washington, says in relation TO the
Rattl- of Sunday "Our loss is from seventy
five to 100 killed, and $50 wounded. l have
seen 225 of the enemy's dead"
WINCHESTER, March 24-The rebels have
been driven back to StraSbUTg, with heavy loss.
One French officer came up to-day. All quiet
here.
CHICAGO, March pa special dispatch to
the Tribune, . o'clock Sunday night, off Island
No. 10, says firing has been conducted slowly
day and night, at intervals Of half an hour.
Our fire is mostly concentrated upon the upper
battery, which is now falling to pieces. The
battery has not replied for two days.
Only one gun can be seen in position, and that
is at the Quaker batteries on the main shore,
which is also mysteriously silent.
The encampments are growing smaller and
smaller every day. Transports still continue
plying about, apparently carrying away troops.
The river is still rising, and everything is
overlooked. Rebels fairly drowned out. Some
batteries have been attempting the erection of
new ones, but the well directed fire from our
mOrtaTs prevents them.
A special dispatch to the Times, from Cairo,
says officers of the steamer Lake Erie No. ,,
which left Island No. 10 at IL o clock last night,
saw the light of d large fire near the Kentucky
shore, which kept increasing as they got up the
river.
1t is supposed to have been one of the rebel
transports set on FIRE by the bursting of some of
our shells.
Another dispatch to the Tribune, Saturday
night, saysthe gUnbOat Mound City ured twenty
shots at the middle batteries, with considerable
effect.
Our officers, with the aid of a glass, counted
five rebels killed by one shot.
On Sunday the moTtars fred, but owing to
the weather we could not ascertain the effect.
ST. LOUIS, March PA dispatch to the
Secretary of War from Gen. Halleck says that
a detachment Of the LIST cavalry were sent ont
to Jefferson City under Gen. Tottan against
guerilla parties, and had a skirmish with the en-
envy, killing two, wOunding one, and taking
over seventy-fve prisoners, over twenty horses,
forty-eight kegs OF powder, and a quantity Of
arms. Our loss was four hundred

CAPTURE Or THREE YANKEEs-This, we
learn, was quite a daring act, in all probability
saving the captors themselves from capture.
Three privates of the Holcombe legion left early
Saturday morning, and after spending the whole
day and a part of the night in seeking a good
place on the water for landing, they returned to
Mr.. Grimbalrs place, Pineburg, aud Sunday
morning they crossed over to Jehossee, and
thence to Edisto. Having advanced but a short
distance, they saw something approaching, aud
secreting themselves by the side of the road,
allowed, what turned out 70 be 2 buggy, with
three occupants, to get opposite to them, when
they stepped out pistols in hand. The chief
Yankee, a observation-disclosures, attempted TO draw
his pistol, but was warned to desist and to yield
his weapon, the only one possessed by the
Yankee triO-and it was soon surrendered.
The Yankees being then captured, the gallant
captors made their horse and buggy make good
speed down to Watts Cut, where they met our
Jehossee pickets, who assisted in bringing the
captives into our camp. Had our men not met
these Yankees so soon, they would have gone
within the circle of the enemy's pickets, report
ed by the prisoners to be in force, and very little
beyond the place Of capture.
The prisoners the Lieutenant-Co lonel f
P. Bennett, Of the 55th regiment Pennsylvania
volunteers Ist Lieutenant Kirby, of the Ash
New York volunteers and a dOwn-easter, sent
as a government agent to " collect cotton and
other property" as his commission stated.
The p~ilering rogue, whose name Is Ben. Viii
lis, ought to be made to dance to the tune OF
Dixie, every hour in the day, during his captiv'
ity, that he may learn that there is no longer any
such national ar as Yankee Doodle, III these

A FRENCH VIEW OF THE LATE UNION--A
pamphlet by NJ. Sidney Benouf, has just ap-
peared, under the title of l. Union Amcric0Sae
ct FEurgpe. The author, seeing the Southern
States separated from the northern ones, asks
whether Europe ought to desire the TeconstTuc-
ton Of the Union or the independence of the
two sections ? He then takes a rapid view Of
all the political acts OF the Union during its eX-
istencei its rapid increase, its spirit of anneya-
ton, its views upon Mexico and Cuba, the high
tone It assumed towards the smaller States of
South America, as if it already possessed them;
the utter absence, on the American continent. Of
any power to control The growth of the great alb
sOrbing republic, which has never disguised its
ultimate views upon Europe, having more than
once put forth its pretention to intervene in this
quarter of the globe, to make It's influence felt
and to propagate its principles and, lastly, the
uncourteous behavior Of the United States to-
wards foreign nations, whose feelings have often
been hurt by the Uncompromisiug tone of the
republican government, and which have often
been obliged to make severe Sacrifices to their
love of peace. From all this the author of the
pamphlet concludes that the breaking up of the
Union, which he considers certain, viii be a
most fortunate occurrence for the peace Of the
world.

Wendell Phillips, the afeh-demon of aboli-
tionism, recently delivered a lecture at Rochester
to a large audience, embracing " many of the
intelligent and influential citizens" The lecture
was replete with atrocious sentiments. We take
an extract OF two from it to show the spirit
which still actuates one of the leading men of
the North:
The present war is the result of no accident,
nor is it the result Of the action of any particular
person OF party. In one sense, " RObOig was to
blame" for the wal was the result of the ma
tlonal policy for the last sixty or seventy years.
Sia1ery IS the real cause.
l have been a disuniOnist and an honest dis
uniOnist. 1t was only last year that | began to
see how the Union could mean Justice. and | am
Yankee enough not to refuse union if l can get
CROUCH with it. If We can have Justice in the
Union, as we can if we viii, then l am for the
Union. The Union means peace, prosperous
commerce and manufactures, and erfcn9ed M
t~.OHatty. Seeing so much depends upon if. I
would have the nation take that course which
will make its preservation certain.
The Union, simply by coercion, would be a
worthless bond, irritating to the South and I'M
profitable to ourselves. The plan of subiuga-
ting the South by force would result in a bald.
barren conquest, bearing no fruit, because chang
ing no convictions. If General Mcclellan could,
LO-InOFTOW, DlalL the Stars ana stripes on kICh-
mond and Montgomery, and all the principal
points in the South, and to have a force large
enough to hold them there, what then The e-
ephsnt would be ours, but what should be done
with It'll Tn people Of the South would be
left angry and ready to rebel at any time. lie
IS merely a barbarian 10hO l0OuId conquer 10ih JayO-
nets alone. He is a statesman who would con-
quer a people by changing their conviction and
thus removing the cause of hostility.
How should we do this The answer is
simple. Issue a proclamation of emancipation,
and we shall c~heckmate the interests of Eng
land by an appeal to her conscience. 1
would have a liberal compensation to all slave
holders who were loyal. And l would not have
too close a scrutiny as to their loyalty. Ilo0uld
pour money into tie South. This would stimulate
industry and enterprise, and thus with freedom,
Virginia and South Carolina would soon be-
cOmelike New York. would leave none
of the ten million people of the South out of
these blessings, but about $4,000 traitors and
rebels who must die or go into exile, All this is
now possible, because we have got into this war,
and | am Glad the war has come"

Hau.u.
In the House Of Lords, Lord Campbell called
attention to the ineficiencv Of the American
blockade of Confederate ports, and moved for
correspondence on the subject.
Earl Russell replied to the proofs advanced by
Lord Campbell, Of the inefieiency of the block
ade, and recounted the efforts of the North to
render it effective.
He considered that the want of cotton in the
English market was the best test thar the block
ade was not an empty one.
He added that the renewal Of the old feeling
between the North and South was impossible,
and he hoped the North would consent to a peace
able separation of the States, and trusted with
in three months the war would close, leaving
emancipation possible to be effected by gradual,
peaceful means.
He said no formal communication had been
made by the French government as to the inet-
fciency of the blockade.

THE GOLD Spoon APPROPRIATION FOR THE
PRESIDENTS HOUsE.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune writes:
An unusual furry was created in the Senate a
few moments ago Ex-senator Hale's motion TO
reconsider the vote on the civil appropriation
bill, or rather on the fraudulent interpolation Of
the gold spoon amendment amounting TO
S26I3, for the purchase and repair of plate for
the Presidents house, Senator b owning was
instantly on hs feet, and, betraying an intimate
knowledge Of the matter, said that The bin had
already been signed by the President, and the
signature had been reported back to the Senate.
The statement was untrue as to the reporting
back Of the signature to the Senate, but there is
no doubt that it was put through with celebrity,
and that Mr.. Browning was correct as to the
actual signing. Senators Pearce, DOolittle and
Clark, and Messrs. Stevens, Walton and Train,
divide the responsibilities thus introducing new
matter, in violation Of parliamentary law and
practice, in a committee Of conference in the
disagreeing votes of the two houses. One thing
must be said for Mr.. Pearce ia this connection.
He has not been at all loquacious at this session
about re~trenchment and economy.

The visit Of the enemy on Friday to BUcking-
ham Point was of short duration. The move
ment IS evidently intended as a feint or a sim
pie reconnaissance of our lines and forces near
Savannah. The enemy's landing force, which
appears to have been small, retTeated TO their
gunboats on the appearance of our troops with
out making any further demonstration These
movements are, however, supposed to indicate
an advance il force very shortly. They all
probably eudeavOTing to discover some weak
point near Savannah previous to making an
attack.
A private letter from Vaudeville, Saturday,
March y, says: AT daylight yesterday morn
ing It was discovered that the enemy was land
ing troops at Buckingham Point, about FIVE miles
from Button. Reports stated the force to be
about fifteen hundred.
Our troops, under command OF Gen. DTaytou,
Immediately advanced to meet them, and a bat
tie was thought imminent. The enemy, now
ever, without making any further advance, re-
embarked on board Of their gunboats. Oar

more probable. Reinforcements from our friends

treated by their officers, and i'll clad and fed
their rations consisting of very hard and black
bread, made Of shorts or bran, he did not know
which, and old picked beef, unfit for any pur-
pose, and a scanty supply at that. The officers,
however, Jared sUmptuously, and were lndiier-
ent as to the condition of those under their com
mand. For the most trivial otfense they were
put under guard and made to carry a thirty-twO
pound shot tor ten hours. He was determined
on the first opportunity that presented Itself to
desert, and states that the men generally were
dissatisfied. They were principally drafted, and
promised S. a month; volunteers were 70 re-
ceive Sll. He had been in the service five
months, and all he got was a S25 Treasury
note, which he sold while on his way to
Waynesville for 50, to a gentleman who vented
it as a curiosity.
Being sent for water outside the guard line,
he found a boat near the railroad bridge, in
which he crossed over to the main, and followed
the line Of the railroad.
He says that the Federals were encamped east
Of the town OF Eernandina, and were not allowed
to enter It. That about two thousand composed
