v A very entertaining dialogue oc-
cured some days ago in the Govern
or's Office, between Governor Johnson and
two rebel ladies of this city, who had
come to complain of the occupation of
residence belonging to the rebel husband
OF one of the ladies, by Federal officer
The conversation was substantially as
follows:
Ladg. I think II IS too dreadful for a
woman in my lonesome condition 20 have
her property exposed to Injury and destrue-
tiou
Gocsnor. Well, Madam, l viii inquire
ialo the matter, and il any injustice has baen
done, will try 10 have il corrected. But your
husband, you admit, has gone of with the
rebels, and you abandoned your dwelling.
Lady Ny husband went cf' South becaufe
II was to his interest to do SO. You mustn't
dnd fault with anybody Tor taking care Of
himself these times. You know, Governor,
That all things are unsuitable ia wac.
Go,ernor. Well, Madam, it appears to nus
that this broad rule OF yours will jdstily TAX
ing possession Of your honse. According 60
your maxim, done see any reason for
helping you out OF your difficulty.
Lady, Oh! bus didn't mean II that
way.
Goegs.O., No, Madam, suppose not.

your own rule would make me. do not
believe in your rule that "all things are jug

what you rebels insist upon. II is perfectly
right aud proper for you to violate the laws,
to destroy This Government, but IL is all
wrong for as to execute the laws 10 main-
tain the Government.
The rebel ladies looked around in va
rious directions, and seemed to think
that they had opened knotty argument
on dangerous subject, with very hard
adversary. Heaving long sigh, they
retired, to become, we earnestly hope,
"wiser and better men,"

dered Gen. Wood TO advance the head of
his column, cautiously on the left hand

third brigade of the fifth division up the
right hand road. About half mile from
the forks was a clear field through which
the road passed, and Immediately beyond
a space Of some two hundred yards Of

DR.. Williams who has been prisoner at
Salisbury, N. c. for several months, and who
arrived here Saturday, having been uncondi-
tionally released, states that for 10 days after
the battle in front of Richmond one thousand
rebel troops passed through that town daily,
on their way to Richmond, and more were
on their way. The Doctors window over
looked the railroad and depot, giving him a
good opportunity of ascertaining what was
going on there. The troops came from James
Island and Eastern Georgia. Among other
facts the Doctor ascertained was, that IL 900
troops were at Charlottesville waiting trans
portation to Richmond, that 10000 conscripts
had been raised in each Of the States of Tenn.
and Georgia since the month of July and
proportionate number in other extreme South
ern States
He heard an Adjutant say that the rebels
had 10000 troops engaged in battle of srven
days. He was accompanied by DIR. Stone, who
was taken prisoner at Bull Run, and who cor
roborates the statement so far as relates TO the
movements of troops. On their way to Rich
mond they passed long trains of empty cars on
the way South.
Gen. Mcclellan spent the entire day yester-
day in visiting the different hospitals, speaking
words of encouragement 10 the sick and
wounded, and seeing that their wants were
properly attended to.
Boats to-day brought down 495 wounded
from Richmond, leaving about 700 yea to
come.
