BOGUS RUMORs.

hONOH
The trade Of this city Ia suffering just now
from the false rumors set Aaoat by the seecsh'
Coppcrhead-D Dog -ln-the-mange alarmists, who
busy themselves in creating panlcs, by clrcula'
ting reports that have no foundation in fact,
and contrary to the teachings of common sense,
The trade Of Washington has increased and
aourished, lately, beyond all precedent, and IT
ought 10 be substantial.
The sneaking sympathisers with the rebel
lion here are doing all in their power to blight
It by alarming the fears Of dealers and pur.
chasers by crying "wolfl" "Wolf!" The
silly secesslonists hereabout should reflect that
by paralyzing the business Of the town, which
has grown into importance in spite Of them,
that they are lnjuring their own interests by
paralyEfng it, while they do not benefit JEFF
Davis one Jot.
The truth is, that this region has never been
so safe from "raids" at any time since the re-
belllon began as It is now, and II the gentle
men of the rebel persuasion will keep their
kissing tongues between their teeth, they will
promote their own interests as well as those OF
our citizens generally.

PHILADELPHIA, June ga special dispatch
to the Evening BIillstiR, dated June 3, says;
A dispatch to the GdSettS, from Cairo, gives
the following information from an officer ar.
rived from Vicksburg;
The base of the Federal lines extends from
the right TO the left on the Mississippi, from
Yazoo to the lower part Of Vicksburg, over six
miles In the rear. Our lines come up to the
rebel lines, east Of the town. We hold unds'
puted possession Of everything between Big
Black bridge and sixty feet Of hills In the rear
Of the rebel army. At last accounts General
Frank Blair's division had started for Big Black
bridge-destlnation unknown.
It is believed that the gunboat Cincinnati can
be raised. The casualties are not over hfteen,
Deserters report the rebel losses exceedingly
heavy on the 22d ult. The cessation Of hostili
ties on the 21st was for the purpose of letting
the women and children leave Vicksburg.
dispatch from Somerset, Kentucky, say
that twenty refugees had come in from Eas
Tennessee, and report there are but few rebe
troops in Knoxville. Many had passed through
recently, going West. The rebel pickets on The
Cumberland have resumed their old position.

Letter from Minister Ahnms.

The following letter from Mr.. Adams was
read at the annual meeting of the British and
Foreign Anti-slavery Society in London on the
22d ult;
Legation of the United States, May 81.
"SIR: am directed by the President Of the
United States to acknowledge on his behalf the
reception Of the proceedings of a special meet
ing of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery
Society, of the 10Th of January last. which
were duly transmitted to him through the me
dlum Of this Legation.
il gives him pleasure to observe that these
proceedings are distinguished by an earnest
desire that peace may now and forever be pre-
served between the United States and Great
Brtaini that the union Of his own country,
which is the bulwark of Its safety, NAV be
malntalned and especially that 1t may not be
overthrOwn 80 as to give room to O new nation
to be founded on the cornerstone of human
slavery.
am further instructed to say that the lustice
of these sentiments, as well as the confidence
in the President, which is expressed in the pro-
ccedings, would cntitle the subjects of Great
Britain, who constituted this meeting to a spe-
cial, grateful, and fervcnt notice on his part,
His sentiments on the subjects involved have,
however, been so fully expressed in replles
which have been made to the working men of
Manchester, to the citizens of London assem-
blud at Exeter hall on the evening of the 2glh
of Jannary last, and 10 the citizens of Bradford.
that, instead of repetition, he prays that YOU
will consider the spirit expressed in them as
equally entertained in the present case.
81 have the honor to be, your ob't sery't,
