Col GRAM commanding the lst Vermont
Brigade, in his official report of May 9th re-
latiyc to the late battle at Banks Ford says
It was a terrible struggle. If we believe
what intelligent prisoners informed US, the
rebel General Lee was present directing the
attack lie skilfully massed and hurled
against US a terrible force, fully expecting TO
annihilatc or capture the whole Corps. No
less than three Corps of the army were en-
gagged. And no less than three Brigades
fought the Green Mountain BOYS, 10 wit a
Louisiana, North Carolina, and Missis-
sippi Brigade, each consisting of four rcgi-
ments The Louisiana and North Carolina
B-igades must have been nearly annihilated.
The Col. Commanding the Louisiana Brigade,
whom we captured, admitted that We had
taken and killed and wounded the most of
his Brigade The number Of prisoners actu-
ally captured must have been one thousand,
but owing 10 the imperative order withdraw
ing the 2d Sd and 9th Vermont and Goth
y. j. and the darkness which soon prevailed,
only about four hundred were brought away
among whom were one Brigadier General.
one Col. Commanding Brigade, several Lieut.
ColOnels, Majors and Line officers Too much
praise cannot be awarded to the Officers and
Men for their excellent conduct. They could
not hare done better. Vermont may well be
proud Of them all The men did their duty,
and the officers weretherc to direct and en-
courage Not an officer failed to come to
time. Not a man struggled from the ranks.
And when a Regiment moved, it did it with
almost the precision of an ordinary drill.
The loss Of the Vermont troops was, consi-
dering all the circumstances very slight in
deed. There were II killed, lis wounded
and II missing, in all l79. The loss inflicted
upon the enemy was probably FIVE times that

DEATH OF REBEL GENERALs.-It is often as
serted and truthfully that the rebels surpass
us in generalshlp. and that they owe their
success thus far in resisting our arms mainly
to the ability of few men who have espous-
ed the confederate cause. Among those who
have shown themselves most deserving of this
oommondation was Stonewall jackson. lie
was one of the very small number who have
during the war shown themselves not sim
ply appointed to command by the govern
ment but able to fill and to honor tho. place
to which they have been assigned Stonewall
jackson was not surpassed in executive ahili-
ty by any fighting general in the field Gene
raj Lee in his note to jackson at the time he
learned that he zas wounded, hardly does
more than express the general sentiment
when b. saws Il had rather it had been my
self than YOU" Jackson had won from
friends and foes liberal Acknowledgements of
his ability. and was recognized as one OF
those men who possess real military genius
Adapted to eli a subordinate position only,
he could yet fll that position better. and was
perhaps more relied upon by the general COM
msnder, than any other man in the Confe-
derate army

the Confederates have me; with a serious
loss, and one which will Re felt during the
continuance of the present struggle.

The excessive emigration from Great Brit
am to the United States which has OCCASION
ed good deal of newspaper remark has also
attracted the attention, and perhaps we may
add, aroused the suspicion of John Bull On
the Goth of November last Earl Russell
wrote letter to Minister Adams stating that
he had information that attempts had been
made to induce British subjects TO enlist IN the
United States army. The next day Mr.. Adams
replied that he had no knowledge of any such
attempt, and would be glad to obtain such
information as Earl Russell possessed. On
the 10th of April Earl Russell wrote the fol-
lowing in a letter to Mr.. Adams
at is stated that within the last fortnight
1878 ernigrants have sailed, the greater number
being strong, active young men; that it cannot be
doubted that they are intended for the Unitei
army, and that, in fact, many Of them do not
deny it. certain number Of these men were
militia men from Cork and its vicinity, and they
informed,the emigration officer that they would
get from $3.50 to $500 bounty. 1t also sppears
that the prospect Of this large bounty has been
held out to young men BY general rumOr through
out the country"
Mr.. Adams made the following reply,
which is of interest both because of it. spe-
cial object, and Of the explanation it gives
of the excess of emigration referred to

To all such solicitations. the answer given
from here has been uniformly TO the effect that
no authority has been given by the government
to listen to any proposals Of the kind or TO make
any engagements whatever. Instructions have
likewise been sent to the respective consuls, who
have reported similar proposals to me, to make
the same answer. have no reason to believe
that any American citizen in England, clothed
with authority. has ventured to set in sny other

Of the emigration that IS taking place, that
