TOBACCO TO BE DESTROYED.
(From the RichmOrd Dispatch. Nav It'll


1t has been deemed advisable, in case ane-
cessity should arise for the destruction of the
manufactured tobacco now stored in this city,
that it should all be gathered together in GER
tain prescribed warehouses, so that its des-
truction might certainly be assured if we are
ever so unlucky as to have a visit from the
Yankee vandals. When this course was de-
termined on, all owners were notified that
they could remove their tobacco from the city,
but would not be permitted to spread it about
in small lots for the purpose of retaining it
here and eyading the order respecting it. Yes

RELEASE OF UNION PRISONERS.
(From the Richmond Examiner, May ~
An order has been issued to send off, under
flag of truce, as soon as arrangements can be
made by General Huger, every Yankee pris-
oner, the same being four hundred and seven
ty-nine, now in our hands in this city. Con-
sidering the high price embarrassing scarcity
of provisions, this order seems eminently well
timed. The prospect Of a speedy release had
the most eXhilarating effect on the inmates of
the Libby prison. When we passed the build
ing last evening the prisoners were singing
and whistling like a cage full of hooking

THEY CLAIM A VICTORY AT WILLIAMSBURG.
From the Richmond Enquirer, sth.
The cheering intelligence from the peninsu-
la, on yesterday had the effect of pleasant
surprise upon the community. The details of
the fight are, as yet, meagre, but the brilliancy
Of the victory is none the less certain. The
first dispatches were slightly exaggerated, be-
ing no doubt, the first flying reports from the
scene of conflict. A participant in the fight
informs us that loss, in killed and wound
ed, sums up two hundred and twenty; the
federal loss, in killed and wounded, is I'M
known; the number captured by our forces is
six hundred and twenty-three. The federals
had appeared, six thousand strong, along a
skirt Of woods, small fertilization in our pos
session, below Williamsburg. At an early
hour on Monday morning Gen. Longstreet
despatched howitzer to the right and another
to the left of their position, and subjecting
them to a crOss-tire, which did terrible execu-
ton, advanced on their 'front.' and put them to
rout, taking the above number of prisoners
and eleven mot twelve) pieces of artillery.
The prisoners were Immediately put on the
march to Richmond, and were expected to ar

LEWIS ERWIN, son of John and Elizabeth
Erwin, was born Jan. 9th, IS41, in Bedford
Tp., Meigs County, O., where he lived until
Oct. Sd, 1861, when he volunteered in the SER
vice of his country, and was attached to the
63d Reg't Q. v. l., Co. c, Capt. c. E. Smith.
He assisted in the taking of New Madrid
and Island No. 10, and was in some skirmishes
before Corinth, Miss. Being attacked with
Diarrhea, which was soon followed by fever,
he was removed to Cincinnati and placed in
the 4th Street Military Hospital, where he
died May 18th, 1862.
His father hearing he was in Cincinnati,
hastened to see him, but he had gone to the
Spirit Land, and his body was quietly resting
in the beautiful Spring Grove Cemetry.
He was raised by pious parents, was IN af-
fectionate, pleasant and moral young man at
home, dutiful, faithful and cheerful in the
army, and had the confidence and affection Of
his officers and fellow soldiers.
Another name is thus added to the previously
long list of those who have sacrificed their
lives, to put down this wicked rebellion.
He leaves numerous friends to mourn his
loss. Z.

passed in perfect safety, as were the
other noted places upon both shores of
the placid Ohio, upon whose bosom We
were SO smoothly waited. The display
of our fine descriptive powers upon all
the scenes and scenery we passed, we
must forego.
But, in several respects, we were dis
appointed, and in some others, enlight-
ened. We found the LoceU neat, con
venient, comfortable, little craft, exactly
fitted for the trade it is in We found,
as master and clerk both, our old friend
VIM. 3. Pennington, a more accommo-
dating and careful man than whom,
never ran the trade. We found in the
engineers department Mr.. George Wal
lace, who sticks to bis post as if married
to it. The PILOTS all right, and, in all this,
we were enlightened. The cook got up
such dinner and supper as cannot be
had upon any of the more pretentious
steamers. In this we were disappointed,
as we were in finding that Gallipolis
was not on short rations, waiting
for the ripening of the ''papaw and per-
simmon" We were offered tumbler
of peanuts" by an enterprising mer
chant of the place, and were assured
that there were more in town when his
stock should be exhasted, SO that our
neighbors are not III suffering condi-
tion.
We say, then, to every body, that the
LoUeU is just as nice little craft to
travel upon as can be desired. She
leaves here in the morning, stops wher-
ever any body wants her to stop, stays
about three hours in Gallipolis, and re
turns in the evening, thus giving the
business public the opportunity of
spending day very pleasantly, trans
acting any ordinary business at any of
the points in the limits of her trade,
and at an expense merely mon,indt.-
These accommodations are certainly not
appreciated as-they should be, aud we
call attention to it now in hopes that
all our citizens will feel disposed to SO
patronize, the LoUeu, as to make it
the interest of the parties to continue
in the trade There! that's bigger
"puff" than we can afford often, but JUS
tice requires it., So letit go ini

Gen. Butler,

I@cidedly refreshing. Such an administra

instance Of as sudden and undoubted
conversion of set of 'sGospel hardened

Butler. "Dead in their trespasses and

lowed, and the returning prodigals, by
virtue of bringing forth the requisite

fits of the "new covenant," which is, s'to

revolt, or to continue in their dlsloyalty
by any acts of hasty or harsh means
employed against them, IF decree of
determination were now proclaimed
against every armed traitor who will not
lay down his weapons, the whole civil

for taking down, the national flag. He
has also ''fred the Southern heart "by
the arrest of notorious slaveholding

soldiers to the house of this rebel to
search for concealed arms. He denied
having any. But by promising pro-
lection to a quadroon slave girl in the
house, she told them where the arms
were secreted. They were captured and
the slave girl fed to Gen. Butler for
protection from her master. The vii
lain came to the General, and on his
promise not to abuse her, she was given

and whipped her until she was beat to

strong brine. The neigh bors who heard
the screams Of the victim under the
torture informed Gen. Butler. He had
the scoundrel arrested, and the facts
were fully proved. In fact, the demon

that he had perfect right to do as he
