Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1862-06-24

A gentleman called on General Butler,
writes New Orleans correspondent and
stated that he had a negro who was hang
ing about the General Hospital, and he
wished to get him. The Generals policy
in such cases is to turn the negro out of our
lines, unless he has been employed by some
officer. He therefore turned to one of his
aids-Lieutenant Clark-and told him to
write to Dr. Smith to turn the man out of
his hospital. Lieutenant Clark wrote to
DIR, Smith q You will at once turn this
man out Of your hospital accidentally
Omitting to say anything about colored
man. The owner Of the slave took it 10
the hospital innocently enough, and hand
ed tito DR.. Smith. The Doctor read the
order, and, though rather astonished, sup
posed the General had good reasons for
giving such instructions; so up he jumped,
and told his visitor to leave the house
quicker than he eyer came into it. The
gentleman was completely astounded, and
attempted to ask the reason Of such treat
ment; but the Doctor said he would not
hear word, and, taking him by the shoul-
der, pushed him towards the door, and
then ordered 0 corporal to put him out,
which he did, the gentleman brandishing
his cane, and cursing bitterly against such
usage. He went back to the General, and
an explanation ensued, and resulted in all
hands enjoying q regular old-fashiOned
horse laugh. The negro was not in the
hospital, and has not yet been found.

The RebeI RaId near RIehmond.


The Rebel Raid near Richmond.
The Richmond Dispatch, in its conclu-
sion of an account of the dashing rebel raid
through our lines says:
"What, then, was the general result q
asked we of a wearied, dusty trooper, wa
tering his jaded and faithful animal by a
roadside spring. "The result" answered
he, proudly, but much exhausted, the re
sult2 We have been in the saddle from
Thursday morning until Saturday noon,
never breaking rein or breaking fast. We
have whipped the enemy wherever he dared
to appear, never opposing more than equal
forces; we have burned two hundred wag-
ons, laden with valuable stores, sunk Or
fired three large transports, captured three
hundred horses and mules, lots Of side
arms, &C.; brought in one hundred and
seventy prisoners, four officers, and many
negroes; killed and wounded scores of the
enemy; pleased Stuart, and had one man
killed-pOor Captain Latane! This is the
result; and S3OO0,OOO can not cover the
Federal loss in goods alone. As to my
self said he, mounting and trOtting away,
~ wouldn't have missed the trip for
81 900. History can not show such an
other exploit as this of Stuart's y He
spoke the truth, honestly and roughly, as
a true soldier serving under an incompar-
able leader. More words are not now
! needed; the whole country is astonished
and applauds; Mcclellan is disgraced; /;
Stuart and his troopers are now forever in
history.

bering over one thousand head Of cattle
and between two or three hundred horses
and mules. Their value is estimated at
over $4,000 in this country. Both officers
and men displayed great eoolness, and an
opportunity only was wanted to let you

1t was to New Orleans that Secretary
(now Geusral) Dix, in January, 1861, sent
that famous telegraphic message; "If any
one attempts to haul down the American
flag, shoot him on the spot" The flag
however, was hauled down in that city,
and all over the South, and no man suffer-
ed. It was raised there again, at the. close
of April of this year; and for then haul
ing it down, man on the 7th inst. suffered
amore infamous death than being shot; he
was hanged by the neck until he was dead,
in the presence Of a vast crowd of citizens
Of New Orleans. AS the Delta says, it is
the first instance in this country of man
being tried, found guilty and executed for
laying violent hands upon our national
flag.

ST.. Louis, March Il.-Special to the
Democrat from Cairo says two Union men
reached there from New Orleans to-day
They left that city on the 26th, and by
careful travelling were enabled to get off in
safety. They both spent the winter in
New Orleans, where the greatest excite
ment and distress prevail. Approaches to
the city on the South are pretty well de-
fonded, and on the North the Notifications
run back from OalroIIton. The only per.
sons in the city not regularly enlisted are
Germans and Jews. The city is full of
secret Union clubs. 1t is said that ut least
$4,000 citizens are members of these clubs.
The condition of things is no better at
Memphis. The Appeal advocates the
burning of the city as last resort in case
of an attack, bat the Mayor has issued a
proclamation that any person detected in
setting Ere TO a house shall be Immediate
ly hung.
Beauregard had left Jackson, aud was
expected to take command at Island No.

lying mt the foot of the Island to take OF

fused to postpone the bill till Mondny

From Fortress Monroe.


FoRTREss MoARoE, March lO.-The
gunboat White Hall took fireat two o'clock
this morning and was badly destroyed.
Three of her guns which were all shattered
went of at intervals and one she'll burst ia
the air sent several fragments in various
directions doing no damage; the other guns
were saved by the harbor crew. The Min
nesota was not afloat when SO reported in
my letter of Sunday, her crew having been
sent on shore, her guns were spiked pre-
paratOry to her destruction. when by the
exertions of Captain Howe, of Spaulding,
she was finally got of during night and re-
sumed her usual position at the entrance
Of the roads.
The Monitor came down early this mOr-
ming and was most enthusiastically cheered
as she passed the various vessels in the
harbor. Auumber of gentlemen went on
board of her during the day; she did not
appear to have suffered at all and is as
ready as ever for another engagement.
The officers and men speak in the highest
terms of her performances and think they
might have destroyed the Merrimac with
out much difficulty if they had been al
lowed an opportunity.
The British sloop-of-war ,Rinaldo ar
rived this forenoon from off Charleston.
She brings no news.
Infee omceFs on BOARD the Congress
were killed; Lieut.. Jos. B. Smith, COM
manding acting master, Thos. Moore and
coast pilot, VIM. Rhodes. Capt. w. Smith,
who until recently transferred, commanded
the Congress, was unhurt. The most re-
cent estimate Of the number killed Is 90.
TwentyiseVen were sent ashore wounded
and forty taken prisoners not including
any officers. So far rs known the mas
ter's mate Peter Hargons is missing and
rlay be among the prisoners on board the
Cumberland. The Rev. Mr.. Lenhart, the
chaplain, was drowned and the master
mate John n. Harrington was killed; no
other officers were lost and none are
known to be severely wounded. But ten
out of the wounded on board reached the
shore and the remainder were drowned.
The whole loss is probably not over 100,
Andrew Nesbett third assistant engineer,
and Robert Waugh and Cbas. 0'Connel
were wounded. Seven men were killed
The Oregon had but nine killed. The
Minnesota had six men killed and seven.
teen wounded. She received large mum.
Der of shots and was well riddled. The
Roanoke received two shots doing nc
damage. No casualties occurred exceEt
the pulling of a man from the rigging.

B9-THE FAST OF LENF.-The origin If
the fast and its name are matters of dis.
cussion among Christians, and remain
among those ''Vezed questions concerning
things scriptpral which are unsettled and
unbeatable. Various sects have their
opinions regarding it. Protestants, gener-
ally, believe that this was not established
until the second or third century after the
Christian Era. Others, following in the
footsteps of ST. Jerome, consider it me-
mortal of the Sayior's passion, and believe
with st. Leo and st. Augustine, that it was
instituted by the Apostles. The number
forty is peculiarly scriptural. There were
forty days granted to the Ninevites fOr re-
Pentance; the deluge lasted forty days;
the Jews were wandering in the wilder
ness forty years Moses and Elijah tasted
, forty days; and our Savior tasted forty
days in private. What particular event
Lent is designed to commemorate must al
ways remain unknown, but it Is well to be-
lieve that it deseends to rs in remembrance
of Him who died that We might live. An
other suppositiou advanced by writer's is
that the word Lent is derived from the
Saxon lsuet.n, dsnoting Spring, or the in
crease in the length of the days. The
German word leae1sn-tO thaw-is alluded
to by others as the source of the dertva.
