WASHINGTON, April Q.
Sixty or seventy rebel prisoners have arriv-
ed here from Gen. Stahl's quarters. They
were captured by Gen. Copeland's cavalry
force, who recently made Reconnaissance to
Adlie, Middlebury and Ropersville, in Loudon
county, Va, but found no enemy in force
Small parties of rebels were however discover
ed, and either dispersed or taken prsoers
Only II of them acknowledged that they had
any connection with Mosely's gang The re-
mainder are bushwhackers and citizens. Over
10a horses, including some stolen from Gen.
Stoughton's staff, were recovered. Gen. Stahl
does not permit his command to remain idle.
Commander Goldsborough reports to the
Navy Department that on the 18th ult the
bark Kanawha captured the schooner Clara
off Mobile, laden with a good cargo. The
schooner was attempting to run the blockade
of that port.
Nothing official has been received up to one
o'clocksto-night concerning Charleston affairs
A private telegram from the headquarters of
the Army of the Potomac says, the tone of
the Richmond papers of yesterday is not
hopeful. Ii shows that they consider the sur
render of Charleston impossible, as the city
will be destroyed rather than be permitted to
fall into our possession.

JAPAN.-The lecture at Lancaster Hall last
evening, by DIR, Mcgowan, was one of the
richest treats of the season. Our citizens do
not know what they are losing by allowing
themselves to remain away from this course Of
conversational lectures upon one of the most
interesting, and at the same time least known
nations Of the world. No books, no reading
accessible to our people can possibly impart
the familiar acquaintance with the inside of
tina. wonderful people that is to be derived
from DIR. Mcgowan, who has spent twenty
years Of his life among them and ia China.
Then his cabinet of japanese curiosities is
worthy of careful study. We hope this eve
ming DR.. NJ. may have the pleasure of meet
ing very full house. He has the elements
well adapted to make such lectures interest
ing, and he does not fail to bring them all into
requisition. The audience last night seemed
perfectly delighted with the intellectual repast
which the Doctor spread before them.
He Is also prepared to give series of lee
lures upon China, but intimated last evening
that he should not probably give them, owing
TO the limited interest awakened by those on
Japan. We hope the attention bestowed upon
him tonight win be sufficient to cause him to
reconsider this decision, and tn open his mu-
scum OF celestial curiosities for the benefit
OF our people.

Ono ground on which the coPPcrhcads
have urged the abandonment Of the draft and
reliance solely on the old recruiting system.
Is that the volunteers that could he obtained
by offering bounties, would be much superior
to drafted men. The character of the SD
New Jersey regiment, Just raised by large
bounties under suspension of the draft, does
not sustain this view Of the case. Only after
shooting FIVE or SIX Of the roughs, Of which
the regiment Is composed, and disarmlng the
entire regiment, has it been got into some
kind of subjection and started of for the
seat Of war there to be thorn in the side

THE DEMOCRATIC HATCHET
RJRJFn
RCRLINGTOl

Inc Douglas and Breckenridge Demccra-
tc National Committee, held Joint meeting
IN N Y. City On Tuesday Of last week to bury
the hatehet of their ancient quarrel, and cut
out work for the - Abolitionists" in the
coming campaign. The meeting declined to
name a day for National Convention, but
agreed to make Il common call for ono,
when the proper time arrives, and to en-
hrsce in it all lovers and defenders of Slavery,
by whatever name they may heretofore have
,alled thcmselyee The y. Y. Herald gives
IN extended report Of the proceedings Of this
loye-feast of the Democratic Sachems, from
which we learn that Vermont was represented
ihere by Charils G. Eastman Now as Mr.
Eastman has been in his grave for two or
three years, this might strike some persons
"a rather strange. As the Democratic party
in Vermont, however, Is essentially defunct.
-alvanized once in two or three years. it is
true, by great effort, into a spasmodic and
nomentary show Of life, but really as dead
- Julius Caesar. there is an obvious proprie-
" in having it represented by a dead man.
But Mr.. Eastman, or his ghost, was not only
prceent, be made speech As thus-we
quote from the Herald:
Mr.. CHARLES G. EASTMAN, Of Vermont, COIN
cided with the last speaker. 1t would be bad
policy to unfold our programme too soon, as we
81 l. ,Aw 20 he 80
pubhcans. If the meeting agreed upon any
time Of holding the Convention the republicans
would regulate the time Of holding their Conven-
ton accordingly.
We call that very neat and sound speech
for departed spirit. 1t makes no pretence
Of any principles for its party, except hatred
Of the republicans. The party it spoke for,
a, no principles. only programme
The meetin: of course could not fail to fol-
ilv this utterunce from the spirit land, and
We may all understand that the democratic
rrozramme' Is to remain folded for the
present Probably when the time comes to
unfold, the ghost of some departed politician
i. to be called up to do the business-the
ghost in Hamlet " could tale unfold and
If ghosts can unfold tales, of course they can
rrogrammes Till then We must possess our
-ouls in patience.
P.S. We suspect from all We hear, that
tho spirit Of Mr.. Eastman spoke through
the mouth of Mr. II. B. Smith, of Milton,
whom Mr.. Eastman IN his lifetime used to
call " Cow boy"

GLORIOUS VERxoSI.-The result OF the
State election in Vermont comes with its usu-
al influence. In the darkest hours that gal
liant little State never yet faltered in its poll
tical faitn, and as regularly as the time comes
around for its election, we always hear the
cheering announcement that it has given its
usual overwhelming majority for our ticket.
AL other States in the Union change their
political character. They veer about from
side 70 side With the varying fortunes Of the
great parties. But Vermont has settled
faith. and never changes it. She has voted
for Clay, Harrison, Taylor, Scott, Fremont
and Lincoln. She has recorded her vote at
every Presidential election against the De
mocratic party, and stands clear Of any res
possibility for its tcrgivcrsations and iniqui-
ties. She has gone the same way at every
State election. Without an interruption
her State administration has been with US.
Vermont, small as she is, has set a bril-
liant example for her sister States. She has
been consistently on the side of nationality,
liberty, democratic republican principles,
and good faith, and opposed to every phase
of oligarchy, nulliicatIon, slavery and sepa-
ration. Her vote now comes 10 US as a har-
binger Of the result Of the fall campaign. It
speaks to Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio
in unmIstakable tones, and tells us to 90 and
do hkwise. 1t shows tie rising popular SEN
timent in favor Of the national government,
which has 50 gloriously redeemed the repub-
lie.
This Vermont election Is 80 Invariably and
so largely in our favor. that ths Dernccr.ti-
organs nevoc eTsa question beforehand that il
will g the eanc way They give i " =
advance, because they know thar they caz-
rot saec: It = any possible way. S.Sssr.e
