DEATH OF Hon. G. f. BAILEY.-We re-
greet to announce the decease Of Hon. Gold
smith +. Bailey,our representatives, congress,
which occurred at his residence in Fitchburg
about ten o'clock Thursday evening. He had
long been in declining health, and was COM
PEELED to relinquish his public duties early in
the present session of congress. Past all hope
OF recovery he returned some weeks ago to
Fitchburg, where in the midst of his friends
and relatives he patiently awaited his end
Mr.. Bailey studied law in the office Of VIM
{. Bradley of Westminster, Vt, and subse-
qucntly removed to Fitchburg, where he early
won the confidence Of his fellow townsmen as
good citizen, and position at the bar of the
county as a safe and prudent counsellor. He
held various offices of trust in his adopted
town. and several times represented his dis
trict, as representative or senator in the
general court. As a legislator he was indus
trous and painstaking, his influence was often
sought, and his counsel always listened to
with Difference and respect. He was chair
man Of the judiciary committee in the senate
OF 1860, which place he held when he was
called by the republicans of the ninth district
to represent them in congress. For the great
er part of the intervening period his impaired
health has prevented him from taking the ac-
tive part in public affairs for which his tastes
and experience would have qualified him. In
private life Mr.. Bailey had many warm friends
who will hear the intelligence of his death
with regret and sorrow

WAR ITEMS.
We see it stated, that more than one-eighth
of the members Of the corps Of engineers and
Typographical engineers are natives Of Massa-
chusetts.
A correspondent writing from Halleck's
army says: sin the coming action there can
not be any very great amount of running or
skulking. Cavalry are to be stationed in the
rear, and all fugityes to be prevented from
taking "French leave" This is the mode
procticed in European armies, and by the reb-
els at the late battle. The large scale upon
which battles are now being fought upon this
continent and the woody character of the
country, makes it absolutely necessary with
us"
letter from Syria to the New York OBJ
server reports that Mr.. Coiiing, of the Adana
station while on his way to Aleppo to attend
the general meeting of the central Armenian
mission, was waylaid and shot, receiving
wounds from which he died soon after.

THE MILITARY SITUATION.

This has been a field week in the history of /
the war The good news has poured in from
all quarters in constantly increasing flood.
The long and weary months of preparation
are bearing their glorious fruit. In the east
the rebel army concentrated between the
York and James rivers has vainly attempted
to eyade the blow prepared for it, and is prob
ably at this time hopelessly routed and bro
ken. There is intelligence of severe battle
on Wednesday at West Point, the head
of navigation on the York river, and
thirty-eight miles from Richmond, in which
the rebels, thirty thousand strong, under Gen.
Lee, commander-in-chief, were repulsed with
heavy loss. The last reports indicate that
the remnants Of their army have crossed the
James river, headed for Petersburg and the
far south, leaving Richmond to its fate. The
Galena, which forced its way up James river
to intercept their retreat, unfortunately ran
aground but it is hoped without serious inju-
~. The army of Mcclellan is winning for
itself all the laurels its most confident friends
have expected or desired. There are also in
teresting movements in Hampton Roads
and around Norfolk of which the accounts
are not as complete as conld be desired But
/ important events are transpiring there, and
we shall confidently expect to hear at any
hour of the disabling Of the Merrimac, and
the capture of Norfolk, which with the sur
render of Richmond, now but few miles
distant from our advance on every side will
practically end the campaign in the east.
The western movements have been
thrown in the background by the near
er and more engrossing events on the
Potomac. The latest authentic intelli-
gcnce leaves Beauregards army nearly sur
rounded by Gen. Hallecks, who has under his
command force only surpassed by the east
ern division in numbers, arms, and discipline
and not inferior to it in courage and determi-
nation to conquer.
The news from New Orleans continues to
be of the most gratifying character. The
fleet is moving up the Mississippi, all obstruc-
tons having been removed between New Or
leans and Memphis. The full official des-
patches in another column give additional in
terest to the brilliant achievements of the
feet below New Orleans.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Woonsocket Pat
riot, writing from Blackstone, gives the fol-
lowing account of a bold attempt at some vii
famous outrage, which was handsomely foiled,
in that vicinity Son Wednesday evening
(the 30th ult.), little before dusk, as a
young girl attending the school of Mr.. g. B.
Williams, in Waterford, was walking to her
home in Millville, about midway between
Blackstone and that place, Il man suddenly
sprang up behind her, seized her in his arms,
and started for the woods. She cried loudly
for help, and was fortunately heard by gem
tleman who was lying in wait for game, down
among the bushes on the river bank He hur-
ried to the rescue, and seeing the position of
affairs, promptly leveled his fowling piece at
the villain, and demanded the instant release
Of the captive. He dropped the girl, who fled
homeward like frightened deer; while he
made hasty exit in an opposite direction

GREAT BATTLE AND BRILLIANT VICTORY AT
WEST POINT.
The Enemy Driven Back by the Gunbeats.n
UNION ARMS AGAIN TRIUMPHANT.
PANIC AT NORFOLK.

FORTRESS MONROE, May S.-Gen. McClcl-
Ian has advanced twelve miles beyond Will
lamsburg, and has had heavy skirmishing
with the enemy, routing them with great loss.
The embarkation of troops for West Point
was progressing with great rapidity, and a
heavy battle took place on Wednesday, be-
tween Gen. Franklin and Sedgewick and the
rebels under Lee, who were endeavoring to
make their way to Richmond. 1t is said to
have been the seyerest battle on the peninsula
and the rebels were totally defeated and
thanked, being driven back towards the forces
under Gen. johnson, on the Chckahominy.
The whole number of killed and wounded
were 300. The enemy were driven back by
our gun boats with great slaughter. They
had not less than 10000 men, whilst our
whole force was not over 10000 men landed
Had it not been for the gun boats they would
have been defeated,
The crew Of the steam tug which deserted
from the enemy, report that there is great ex-
element at Norfolk this morning; that Burn

WILLIAMSBURG, May S.-Gen. Mcclellan,
on the 9Th inst, had most decisive victory.
Only about $1,000 of our troops were engaged,
against $4,000 Of the best rebel troops. Our
men fought most valiantly and used the bayo-
net freely, which the rebels could not stand.
They fought well until they felt the cold steel,
when they took to their heels and ran like
hounds, leaving their dead, wounded and
sick on our hands. Joe Johnston led them in
person. They have lost several of their best
officers

Mirnnnetta as a Tree.

Buy a pot of ordinary mignonette. This
pot will probably contain tuft composed
of many plants, produced from seeds
Pull up all but one; and, as the mignonette
is one of the most rustic of plants, which
may be treated without any delicacy, the
single plant that is left in the middle Of the
pot may be vigorously trimmed, leaving on
ly one shoot. This shoot you must attach
to slender stick of white osier. The eI-
tremity of this shoot will put forth bunch
of flower buds, which must be cut Oft en-
tirely, leaving not single bud. The stalk,
in consequence of this treatment, Will put
on multitude of young shoots, that must
be allowed to develop freely until they arc
about three inches and half long Then
select out OF these, four, six, or eight, ac-
cordng to the strength of the plant, with
equal spaces between them. Now, with a
slender rod of white osier, or better, with
piece of whalebone, make hoop, and at
taeh your shoots to it, supported at the
proper height. When they have grown
two or three inches longer, and are going
to bloom, support them by a second hoop
like the first. Let them bloom; but take off
the seed pods before they have time to form,
Or the plant may perish. 1t will not be
long before new shoots will appear just be-
low the places where the flowers were. From
among these new shoots, choose the one on
each branch which is in the best situation
to replace what you have nipped off. Lit
tie by little, the principal stalk, and also
the branches will become woody, and your
mignonette will no longer be an herbaceous
plant, except at its upper extremities, which
will bloom all the year without interruption.
1t will be truly tree mignonette, living
for an indefinite period; for, with proper
treatment a tree mignonette will live from
twelve to fifteen years. have seen them
in Holland double this age.-Parlor Gar
