CO The Manchester Journal says -
"A member OF the 9th vermont Regl-
ment in late letter to his father in this
town, says that when our troops reached
Williamsburgh, they found six Or eight of
the Sd Vermont Regiment bayoneted and
weltering in their gore. The bayonet
gashes had every appearance of being
lately made, while their other wounds APP
peared to be very slight. These men
were taken at the battle of Lees Mills,
several miles from Richmond, carried to
Williamsburgh and there butchered in
cold blood! Such is the chivalry of rebel
dom which would disgrace even the bar
barisms of savages and yet we have
those at the North who sympathise with
such wretches and wish them success.

Let it be remembered that we are

will wish might be blotted out forever ?

MAY-BLOOMS

Up the maple-shaded street,
Comes the und of ohildren's feet,
And their voices drop like rain,
While the hills talk back again,
Aud they lnder here aud there,
With their feet 20 brown and bare,
Clapping hands brown as their feet,
Up aud down the shaded strest.
There Ia Allie with dark eyes,
Deeply shaded from the skiea,
And heart as geGtly kind
As the flowers or the wind
Fannie'g pink dress has grace
Like some beauty, robed in lace;
And the May blooms round her head
Give her feet queenly tread
Little Willie used to come
Ro.s he's Ia the Sunset Home!
Aud we miss him at our door,
Since his small feet come no more!
There's Ellie, with her shining head,
And her bro Fn feet's winsome tread,
From her wee checked bonnet looks
Volumes of sweet stsry-books.
And her ewes so bright and blue
Laugh aloud when they look at you!
o, Ilove these ehildren's faces,
And their wlnsome ways, ahd graoes,-
So, throu Oh every pleasant day,
In the sweet young month of May,
Comes the music of their feet,
Up the msple-shaded street
Little May blooms by lifes way!
Sweet young flowers, you may not stay.
But l hope in Heaven thsre'll be
Room enough for You and me.

A CARD FROM EXCLUDED COR +
RESPONDS TS.
Cairo, May 81, 1862,

The members of the PRESS compelled
TO retire from General Halleek's army
unite in the following statement
On the 18th inst. Gen. Halleck issued
an order expelling all unauthorized
hangers ou"from the army lines, threat
ening to compel any one attempting to
evade it to work on the entertainments,
and instructing the Provost Marshal to
report for summary punishment any Off
Ger, of whatever rank, neglecting to en-
force it, or conniving at its violation. In
reply to an official inquiry from MAJOR
General Pope, Gen. Halleck stated that
he included newspaper correspondents
among the unauthorized hangers on. All
the journalists that could be notified then
met, and with single exception, united
in presenting this memorial -
In Camp an the Field, May II.
To Major General Halleck -
The undersigned, loyal citizens and ac-
credited representatives of loyal journals
respectfully represent, that they came
here in compliance with the order of
Secretary Stanton, authorizing journalists
to accompany the army, some OF them
bearing passes issued by his authority,
and have remained there several weeks
for the sole and exclusive purpose of re-
cording the approaching battle. They
are now informed that Field Order No.
81 requires them to leave the army lines,
While they will not attempt to remain
unless they can do so openly, by permits
sion of Major General Halleck, there are
many newspaper letter writers attached
to the camps in fictitious capacities, who,
Notwithstanding whatever precautions
nl.y be taken, will succeed in evading
Field Order No. 81. They will remain
with the army, while the duly accredited
and responsible representatives of the
Press are excluded, in manifest injustice
to themselves and the journals which they
represent.
While DESTROYS of avoiding everything
injurious to the army, or any portion OF
it, they represent that their exclusion just
now on the eve of the event which they
came here especially to record, will be un,
just to the loyal journals and to the coun-
try which looks for information to them
and respectfully ask whether, as has beer
suggested by Col. Scott, Assistant Secre'
tary of War, there are any conditions or
which they will be permitted to remain.
To this General Halleck replied thai
"it would not do at all, that the enc
my had spies in camp, and that to make
sure of excluding them he had resolved
to exclude all civilians The correspon.
dents express considerable Indignation a
this treatment. The persons excluded
are the following

WAR ITEMS.

d. The London Times acknowledges
that the taking of New Orleans is a great
triumph for the North.
gYThe vessels sunk by the rebels at
Norfolk are to be raised by our govern
ment.
HThe rebels mercilessly butchered
our wounded troops along the line of Gen.
Banks retreat.
Under the new tax bill doctors and
lawyers will be required to pay $40 an
nually for license to practice. This is
rather hard on pills and pil-aging
eyTwo hundred thousand dollars have
been appropriated by the Legislature of
Virginia to remove the women and child
rem and decrepid persons resident at
Richmond, to place of safety.
II Massachusetts is nobly responding
to the call for more troops. Ninety men
were enlisted in few hours at Newbury-
port. The old Sixth Regiment which
went through Baltim ore is fully recruited
and ready to move.
VCol. Lefferts of the New York 7th
Regiment only received the Presidents
requisition at eleven o'clock on Sunday
night, and at nine o'clock on Monday
night he started for Washington with
full regiment, thoroughly equipped, amid
the plaudits of vast multitude.
sBThe Petersburg Wing, states that
on the 10th, eighteen of the Monitors
crew went ashore at City Point and were
surprised by the rebels. Nine of them
were made prisoners, and the balance of
them rushed for their boat and padded
for the Monitor. OF these nine, eight
were killed, and the remaining one lost an
arm.
ga Union meeting at Mumfresboro,
Tenn, on Saturday last, was attended by
over one thousand people, and much en-
thusiasm was manifested. Thirty six
rebel soldiers from Corinth, appeared and
took the oath of allegiance. A CORES
pondent of the Louisville Journal who has
been for some time in Nashville and other
portions of Tennessee, testifes in positive
terms to a manifestly growing Union SEN
timent in that State.
u In response to the late call of the
Secretary of War for more troops from
the loyal States, half million of men
in addition to those already in the field
were rendered in less than twenty -four
hours! Who can doubt, in view of this.
either our power or our determination to
put down this rebellion. The Northern
lion has as yet hardly begun to put forth
his strength. Let him be thoroughly en-
ragged and the very earth will tremble be-
meath his awful tread.
wThe Confscation Bill passed the
House of Representatives on the 26th
inst, by Ia majority, but the House re-
fused on the same day, by majority Of
four to pass the bill to L" free from servi-
tude the slaves of rebels engaged in or
abetting the existing rebellion against the
government of the United States" The
entire delegation from Vermont voted for
both bills. Massachusetts cast one-half
her votes against both bills. Nine mem
bers elected as Republicans voted against
confscation, and sixteen Republican mem
bers voted against the emancipation bill.
