ARMY oFTuE POrOMAC.-The health
and spirits Of Gen. Hooker's army are
improving, and the roads are becoming
fit for travel. The strict discipline man
ifrsted toward absent or negligent Of
%fcers, is working out good results.
Several important Reconnaissance have
been made along the Rappahannock,
and rebel supplies captured, both on
shore and in xmugglers' boats. The
rebels are using colorcd soldiers extern
sively, as nearly half their pickets along
the Rappahannock are regularly armed
and uniformed negroes. A whole bri-
gads of negro Rebel troops also helped
to defeat us near Franklin, Tennessee.
Of course this is all right, bu, it would
be terribly Unconstitutional " to arm
and drill the negroes on onr ride.

H-The remarkable incident, anda
most significant one, at the Presidents
last levee, ON Monday evening, 2dinst.
was the almost tumultous greeting
which General Fremont received in
passing suddenly into view in the East
Room from the Green Room. Generals,
Senators, and official dignitnries gath
cred in a great crowd around him, and
with irrepressible noise aud enthusiasm
testified to the respect and affection
with which the great heart of the peo-
pie yet envelopes the Pathfinder. To
avoid the demonstration, embarrassing
in its time and place, Gen. Fremont
had to retire from the Mansion.

arming Of negroes by the National
Government. This class will not have
much to say against the action of their
friends at Richmond. all m
In point of fact, the rebels have been
using their negroes all along. The
slaves have been found to sustain the
rebellion-to bnild Notifications, and to
shoot Union soldiers. Against this,
the sympathizers had not n word to
protest. But they professed to be hor-
riied at the base proposition to use the
negroes on our side, to help save the
lives Of our brave soldiers, and to as
sist in crushing this infamous rebellion.
The danger now is that our Govern.
ment has wasted too much time in dis
cussing this matter, and that however
active may be movements hencefor-
forward in organizing regiments OF
colored people-the rebels will Outnum-
Der us in this branch of the service
and that while we should to-day have

nothing positive as to the killed and

Van Dorn's headquarters were. Dur

about u miles, where we encamped for
the night. The next morning the ball
opened in earnest about 10 O'Clock, and
before we were aware of it, the infan.
try had advanced right into the jaws
of the enemy's guns and they became
entirely surrounded, when after a ter
ribly destructive fight, they were forced
to surrender. Our loss must have been
great, as up to this time only about 80
of our regiment have come in. Among

are Lieut.. r. Larzelere, Captain Bias.

We say that, RAILWAYS READY RELIEF is
the most elegant aud powerful medicine known in
the world. This is not Boosting: try it, il you
feel sceptical and be convinced. 1t combines in its
composition the properties of a diffusiye stimulant,
an anti-septic, a mild but effective astringent. and
a direct power over the nerves. neither narcotic
nor anodine, that relieves pain, in a manner pecu-
liar to itself, and for which We have no word In the
English language exactly to express its action.
