! With its usual fondness for sensa-
ton articles, the New York Herald
proclaims the wonderful piece of news
that the defense Of Richmond is to be
abandoned. the rebel army disbanded
and the whole Southern Confoderacy
to be given up in despair. The Her
aid goes 80 far as to say that ga pro-
position to this effect has passed
through Gen. McDowell's lines, at
Fredericksburg. on its way to Wash
ington." This extraordinary story is
evidently gotten up to rally the North
ern mind from the dishearsen!ng effect
Of its reverse before Richmond. and
the Herald accordingly dresses it up
IN the very best style.

career of desperate vices, and at last, during
his fits of iutoxications, wrung from him con-
fessions of guilt. And on these confessions,

THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1863.

WE have additional news from the army
under Gen. Grant, from which it appears that
our troops now occupy Corinth, and that they
chased the rebels beyond that place. General
A. Sydney Johnston was killed and left on the
battle field; and there is confirmation of the
report that Beauregard's arm was shot off.
The victory was complete and overwhelming
Memphis must fall Immediately. The rebels
will not be in condition TO make stand at
Randolph, and Commodore Foote will go to
New Orleans as soon as circumstances make
it desirable for him to do so. Now let us have
a victory at Yorktown, and JEFF Davis must
run without knowing where to find a secure
retreat for his government"

EVIDENCE AGAINST ACCUSED PERSONS.

The refusal of the legislature to authorize
the removal of the justice of the police court
in Taunton on account of criminal conduct,
has attracted attention to the peculiar method
of procuring evidence OF guilt sometimes re.
sorted to in criminal matters. The justice
was arraigned on several specifications, the
last of which was charge of indecent assault
committed on young girl, some time in June,
1861. lie had been indicted, tried, and ac-
quilted, by the superior court on all these
specifications, except the last, on which the
jury disagreed. The parties who were active
against him had previously offered to with
hold proceedings, or, in other words, to COM
pound the felony, if the accused would resign
his office. He refused, on the ground that
resignation under such circumstances would
be taken as confession of guilt; when his
accusers brought the case to the legislature,
on an address for his removal. The whole
matter was re.heard, and from the mass of
testimony it appeared that on the evening
above named the justice was visited by the
girl, who is the principal witness against him
that on the same evening, as if by some pre-
arrangement, two men were concealed in a
little attic overhead, listening to such frag.
ments of their conversation as they could
catch, and spying through a narrow opening
in the floor for evidences of criminal conduct
that some time previously the justice had
tried and convicted the girls lover of bur.
glary, and sent him to the penitentiary and
that the men overhead were his enemies, and
had before made efforts for his removal.
From the nature of the case the evidence was
fatty contradictory-the justice asserting his
Innocence OF every criminal act and intent,
"hile his aceusers, the girl and the spies, differ
cd on various essential points as to the details
OF their accusation On the facts as presented
the house rejected the address for the iu,tca,,
removal by large majority - mainly. of
course, because his guilt was not established
beyond reasonable doubt, but also in a great
degree on account Of the natural adherence
which rises in every honorable mind to such
methods OF procuring evidence against accus-
ed persons. A case, similar in its essentials,
but more serious in its results, recently trans
pired in the New York courts, wherein a
young man was convicted Of double murder
committed in the streets at midnight On his
first trial, though the evidence against him
was very formidable he was acquitted and
discharged. Subsequently, a spy Of the gov.
ernment nsinuated himself into the young

LOSSES IN GREAT BATTLES.

At the battle of Waterloo the English had
about $4,000 men, with 1000 Dutch troops.
Before the battle was over, the Prussians ar
rived to assist them. The French had about
$1,000 engaged, with $4,000 more under
Grouchy who did not make their appearance
at the battle, either because Grouchy was
treacherous or for some other reason. There
is no official account of the French losses in
this battle. Some English accounts say they
had $4,000 killed and wounded, but this is
evidently an exaggeration. The English and
Dutch official reports state that they had
10,5S0 killed and wounded, and the loss OF the
Prussians, according to their report, was 719l,
making total on their side of 17771.
AT Austerlitz the French had 10000 men,
and the Russians and Austrians 10000. The
killed and wounded of the allies numbered
about $4,000, and those of the French about
5000. AT Marengo the Austrians had 81 900
men, and the French %, 000 and the loss in
killed and wounded was about 1000 on each
side. AT Wagram Napoleon had about 1885,,
900 men against 125000 Austrans under the
Arch Duke Charles 1t was bloody fight,
in which about 1000 were killed and wound.
ed on each side. AT Borodino, where Napo.
leon fought one of his bloodlest battles, he
had $4,000 men against 10000 Russians.
One account says the Russians lost $4,000
killed and wounded, and the French 10000.
Another account says the total of both sides
was about $4,000.
The great battles of Louis Napoleon's short,
splendid, and decisive campaign il Italy were
much less bloody than those of the great Ma
poleon. AT Solferno the Austrians had 225,.
900 men and the French and Sardnians had
nearly as many. They fought from early
morning till nightfal and the defeat of the
Austrans was complete at every point. The
most exaggerated estimate of the Austrian
loss, repOr ted at that time, placed the number
of their killed and wounded at $4,000. Ac.
cording to subsequent and more reliable state
ments it was less than 10000. The killed and
wounded of the French and Sardinians in that
battle numbered 1000. If the losses at Sol,
ferina had been proportionately equal to those
at Waterloo, the loss of both sides would have
been not much less than 10000.
The battle of Pea Ridge, in Arkansas, was
more desperately fought and more bloody
than the battle of Solferino. The forces en-
gagged were very much smaller, but the fight
ing was even greater and more heroic on the
part of the federal troops engaged, for $1,000
of them fought and routed about So 200 of
the enemy. AT Fort Doneson, too, there was
a bravely fought and bloody battle. And
now we have another great battle in Ten
nessee, in which as many troops were
engaged as there were in the battle
Of Waterloo, and more than twice as many as
there were at Marengo. The losses appear
to have been greater in proportion than those
at Solferino; and when we get full and au-
thentic account of the engagement it will
doubtless be shown that it was every way
equal to any battle OF Louis Napoleon's cam
pagn. 1t has given the rebels staggering
blow from which they will not easily recover.
