Inc DOl0mlLAAtoM uA HANAA-e-a
A meeting was held at the Cooper In
stitute. in New York, on Saturday eve
ming last, to listen to Mr.. Eli Thayer's ex-
position of his scheme for the colonization
Of Florida BY loyal citizens. Mr.. Thayer
expressed his views at considerable length,
explaining his plan Of introducing free
labor into the South. He estimated that
forty thousand men would be sufficient to
take possession Of the State of Florida,
and bring it back to the Union He ar
Rued that even were this number consid-
cred q drain upon the North, it would be
better to have them living and producing
in Florida, than buried in the swamps Of
the Chickahominy Mr.. Thayer also gave
his views about the use of free negroes IN
Florida, and thought the climate there and
the wages offered would attract the colOred
population from all parts Of the loyal as
well as slave States.
Atthe conclusion Of Mr.. Thsyers re-
marks Mr.. W. c. Bryant offered series Of
resolutions, to the effect that Florida can be,
and ought to beimmediately restored to the
Union by organized immigration Of armed
free-labor colonists, who are ready to be-
come permanent residents Of the State /;
that the same agency is abundantly able
to restore each and all the rebel States,
provided encouragement is given by the
United States to the colOnistsi that this is
the most speedy, economical and certain
method of ending the rebellion, of restOr-
ing national prosperity, and repairing the
damages Of the war that Congress should
accent the services Of these men, and that
= committee be appointed TO present these
resolutions to the President and to Con
BT155.
It is said that Gen. Burnside has made
some remarkable disclosures before the
Committee on the Conduct of the War
The difficulties that he has had thrown in
his way since his taking command, from
the day the pontOOns were not fOrthcOm-
ing. as per agreement with Generals Hal
leck and Meigs, to the day he resigned,
we're Of all kinds. Imbeeility, cOwardice,
spathy and treason met him at every turn.
His orders were not always Obeyed just
when they should be; officers from whom
more should have been expected shirked
their duty; treason in our camps exposed
his plans to the enemy as rapidly as they
we're formed, and jealous officers succeed
ed in more than once preventing forward
movement at the oppOrtune moment.

CINCMNATr, May y2s.-Dispatchcs dated Muir.
freesboro', yesterday, say that Bragg's army is
falling back, and It ia quite probable Rosecrans
is advancing. We look for important news
from that quarter soon.
The rebel Intentions in Kentucky arc undo-
veloped. They are massing a considerable
force north of Monticello, and Il looks as
though they would try TO cross the river again.
Carter is waiting for them.
DEsERTIoN OF REBEL TENNESSEE CoNsCRIPrs.
A number of conscripts from tho Fifteenth
Tennessee rebel regiment reached Cairo on the
25th instant. They were on their way from
Port Hudson to Bragg's army, when the battle
of Raymond was fought. In the fight they re-
fused to fire on the United States troops, and
shot into the air. After this engagement they
encamPed at Mississippi Springs, where they
met l 800 reinforcements from Alabama. In
the middle OF the night about half of the regi-
ment left camp, determined TO make their way
into the Union lines. They say there has been
at no time moro than 10000 troops at Port
Hudson.

DIED,

In this city, on Friday, the 09t.. of May, at Hve
O'Clock, a. M ELEANOR BARBER, Agt d 81, of Con.
sumption. Most OF her time had been spent in
Richmond, Va, but for the last fourteen years she
had lived in Washington. Wherever she was, all
respected her for many valuable traits OF eharac-
ter. Long piouB member OF the Baptist church,
she practiced with great fidelity the precept OF her
Divine Master-and as wife, mother and friend,
was alike exemplary, kind considerate, forbear-
Ing and charitable Contded in by all who knew
her, she was more regarded as an advisory friend,
than as a servant in the family OF her Master,
whose children she had nuFsed In sickness and in
health, with Iudiclous care and attention rarely
equaled, and which was repaid by enduring Affec-
uOn from them. Her pleasure was TO make all
happy around her. She was 4 welcome guest,
wherever she visited-and many, the white as well
az the coored prOtted by her example and discreet
suggestions, made In way to offend no one. No
fault was ever attributed to her, except that she
would rather herself BuHer than expose the errors
Of others. So extended was the mantle OF her
charity, and obedience to the mandate to love our
neighbors as ourselves. Having acted faithfully
her part on earth, when the dark hour came, she
submitted patiently TO = wasting disease, and de-
parted this life, n faithful servant true friend
an aiieetionAte wife and mother, and a sincere
christian.
Her funeral will take place tomorrow, Sunday,
the siat at O'Clock, from the corner of east and
Seventeenth street west. The friends Of the fami-
ly are invited to attend,
