Brooks thinks the three hundred dollar fee
was designed to enable rich men to get rid Of
lighting at cheap rate The fact is precisely
the reverse. Had not that sum been fxed,
they would hire substitutes for less money.
The law requires them to pay good price,
and it will be for the benefit Of the poor men
who fill their places in the army. 1t strikes

The capture Of the rebel pirates by the
Portland boys is one Of the handsomest things
done during the war Perhaps the copper
heads will complain that it was not done ac-
cording to law, State or NationaI-that there
was not an inch Of red tape anout the whole
affair-and that it was awfully cruel to arrest
without warrant lot Of thieves and pirates
in the act Of running away with one Of Uncle
Sans ships. Perhaps, too, they will invoke
for them the hoJsas corpus but for our part
we are glad that the Portlanders have got the
corpus Of each one of them, and hope they
will hang on to it until there is another sort
of banging.

The BEST WAY To AID VERMONT AND ALL
OTHER SoLDIERs.-It has been very generally
reported that DR.. Phelps, the Medical Director
for Vermont, has spoken in disapproval of the
efforts made in this State. to send supplies to
the Sanitary Commission.
A letter from Dr. Phelps, dated April 90,
1868, with characteristic promptness and court
esy, says explicitly on this subject 80 I am
now so well convinced, that in the formation Of
the Auxiliary Aid Societies all will be accom-
plished that can or need be done, that l believe
it would be useless thing for any other body
to interfere with supplying any aid to the SOL
diers that may be needed
DR.. P. further adds my report to the La
dies will attempt to undo any mischief that has
been done to the Commission - which report
will be published as soon as the onerous duties
of the Hospital will admit

The Crossing OF THE RATFAHANNoCK.-
Kelly's Ford, where the first three corps Of
Gen. Rockers army crossed the Rappalan-
mock, is twenty-five miles northwest of Fred
erick burg. From there the division marched
directly south, striking the Rapidan at Ger
mama, from which point it marched east.
thus being placed to the Southwest and in
rear OF Fredericksburg. Banks and t. 5
Fords are below the junction of the Rapidan
and Rappahannock, the former five miles up
tie river from Fredericksburg. Chancellor
vile is directly south Of Banks Ford, and
the first division having reached that point
the crossing there il unimpeded. Three Of
the army corps were put in readiness to cross
at these two fords and the wagons also.
While this was done, three corps were
sent to lay bridges ar if to cross below the city
about three miles, where Franklin crossed at
the battle of Fredericksburg. The rebels
apparently considered this to be the real
place of crossing and concentrated their
forces there, making a stout resistance
They were sufficiently surprised however, to
allow of the bridges being laid without Sc
rious loss and enough force sent over to hold
the crossing. The feint being completed part
of the force below the city was sent back to
Banks Ford above.
Gen. Hooker's order issued on Saturday
says the movements had been so far success
ful, and the rebels must run, OF fight with
certainty of destruction.
For crossing above the city the rebels
apparently were unprepared. No resistance
was made at Kelly's Ford, and but little at
the two below it. At Germanna the rebels
were preparing to oppose, and skirmish
took place The whole rebel cavalry force is
said to have been at Culpepper, 10 or IL
miles west, and is, therefore, cut of from
the main body. The railroad communication,
it is stated, has been cut by our cavalry /
probably at Orange Court House if SO, the
rebel cavalry is cut off from Richmond, and
useless to Gen. Lee in the battle that has
already taken place.
