The London Times, referring to Mr..


Adams letter, says:
1t is believed that the relations between our
Cabinet and the United States Legatlon III Lon-
don will continue on q friendly f00ung-a re-
snit which in a personal sense will afford un-
mixed satisfaction, since the individual ana MS
torical claims of Mr. Adams to respect ana es-
TEEN have never been disputed in any quarter.
AS the New York Second Regiment
was returning from Washington, it SO hap
pened that Gen. Mcclellan was on board
the Jersey City ferry boat, and was i'm
mediatsly recognized by the men. He was
greeted with the greatest enthusiasm, and
cheer upon cheer went up for the gallant
general. He removed his hat, and bowed
his acknowledgment to the returning SOL
diers.
We regret to learn, says the Albany
Statesman, that Erastus Corning will re-
tire from the iron and hardware business
on or about the 1st of July. Mr.. Corning

menced as clerk at twenty dollars a

The 122d Pennsylvania Volunteers
left their homes nine months ago 1900
strong, and returned on Monday only 800.
The 124th New York, that left Goshen
last fall with 1000 men, went into the
campaign $50 strong, and only 800 came
out. An Indiana regiment at Washington
has only 200 left of the original 1,O46.
-Keokuk has been again disgraced by
mobbery. A gang of convalescent SOL
diers from the hospitals, on Friday night,
took Henry Clay Dean from the house of
Judge Claggett, and. having decided not
to hand him over to the Provost Marshal,
are now holding him in custody, with the

changes made. The Hallecks, the Stewards,
the Chases, would follow the leadership of
their own ambition, and they would be sup
ported by strong minds and bad hearts and
corruption; but they would never have vic
tory till these men were buried so deep that the
plummet could never find them.
Won't such talk as this tend to "demor-
alize the army?"
A Washington special to the Herald
says:
1t will be recoIlected that it was stated
that, previous to the falling back of General
Hooker he held council of war with his corps
commanders. With this statement in view,
the public will be surprised to know that four
of the six Generals present urged upon Gen.
Hooker an immediate advance against the rebel
army.
From the Washington specials to the
Post we extract the following:
1t is said that serious disagreement exists
between Hooker and Halleck. 1t is positively
said that Hookers new movement was cOun-
termanded by Halleck.
Prominent Congressman here have uniteu in
a vigorous protest against Halleck taking the
field. 1t is thought the President may veto the
project
There are no indications of an immediate
movement Many corps commanders and staff
officers in the Army OF the Potomac are pre-
pairing to leave Some are now in Washing
ton.

able-bodied men of Wheeling had gone

of the business houses were closed.
