From Washington.

NEW YoRK, June 27.-The correspondent Of
the Post from Washington says: Reconnois-
ssnces 10 front have failed to find any of the
enemy's cavalry In the Loudon valley. De-
feated in bis recent engagements there, he had
doubtless departed for operations elsewhere.
General Hooker Ia determined to prevent con-
traband information from reaching the enemy,
and yesterday destroyed all the papers sent into
the lines for distribution.
The Vallandigham oommittse from Ohio will
get no satisfaction from their mission here.
Among the stories afoat to-day is one that
Beauregard has arrived at Aqua Creek with
ten thousand men, and commenced erecting
forts for blockading the river. OF course It ia
untrue. No batteries can be built while our
gunboass are there to prevent 1t.
Important advices are expected from the front
in few days.
The question Of rank, 1t is said, will be de.
oided against General Butler by the special
board.

DEMOCRATIC MRETlRG.-An adjourned meet.
ing Of the Democracy of this city aud township
was held In the City Hall last evening. The
chairman of the meeting-Governor Medary-
csusd letter to be read from Judge Green, In
which he stated that from continued ill-health
he was unable to address the meeting.
The committee appoLted for that puSbose at
the previous meeting, rep,rted q Constitution
for Democratic Club, which was read, and at-
ter come remarks upon 1t, ite further nsidera
tion was postponed till the next meeting.
VI Judge Thurman being called upon addressed
the meeting in an argumentatve and eloquent
speech, which Was enthusiastically received by
the large assembly present. The Judge gave
an interesting account of the great Democratic
ratification meeting at Cleveland on Thursday
evening last-s meeting that from It's numbers,
harmony and enthusiasm, surprised political
'ffiends and opponents.
Judge Thurman dwelt at some length upon
the causes that led to the nomination OF Mr..
vallandlgham for Governor and the determine
sion Of the people that he should be elected.
His nomination did not raise the question of
peace or war, but simply put in Issue the ques
tion whether Ohio citizens should be free or be
come the slaves of military despotism.
In New York and New Jersey there we're now
no arbitrary arrests, no imprisonment for politi-
cal ofenses, no censorship over or suppression Of
Democratic presses, no mobbng Of Democratic
newspapers and no resistance to the execution
Of the laws. In those States they had Dt moe
cratic Administrations, and the same state pf
things would exist In Ohio under Democratic
Administration. Therefore, our Dsmocratic
State ticket should be elected In O,sche,
next. .....'
Judge Thurman showed how 10 every instance
arbitrary, unconstitutional and illegal arrests
had weakened the hands of the Administration
and brought about the very evils to prevent
jch those arrests wereI ostensibly made.
Sy other points equally forcible we're made
In the address, which We have not space to note.
Judge Thurman closed by exhorting Demo-
crats 10 stand firm, assuring them that the
skies were bright. and that by energy and pey-
severance their candidate for Governor would
be elected on the second Tuesday Of October.
and inaugurated on the second Monday Of
January .nexti a,sg,sg y ss@g
The meeting then adjourned till Monday
evening, July 9Th. t't Z. s'st.

Banks issued an order for one thousand vo
teers to make the final charge on the enemy's

oners, all or nearly all.
The Herald's New Orleans letter states our
lose In the repulse on the 18th at Port Hudson
was seven hundred killed and wounded. Among
the wounded was General Paine, in the leg,

county with fifteen or twenty thousand men,
destroying ell property we did not move. He
is also fortifying at Franklin, to defend that
country should Port Hudson fall

no renewal Of the attack for several days.

Rebel Privaseers ON the Coast OF
Maine.

PORTLAND, Me-, 2:S0 P. M.-The Caleb
Cushing apparently came to anchor and took
In sails, and was soon after discovered to be on
FIRE, and al twenty minutes to two O'Clock she
blew up with tremendous report, and nothing
Of her 10 now visible from the observatory. It
10 supposed she was blown up by the crew. The
steamer In pursuit lay of some distance when
Hhe blew up.
2:4O P. M The crew Of the OUTER seems to
have escaped before she was blown mp, In boats
probably, to 0 schooner near by, as the Forest
City chased one down toward Green island,
caught her, and is towing her In. The Forest
City had only IL poundera and the Chesapeake
only 6-pounders, but their intention was to run
the cutter down at once, a. they were no match
for her 32-pounders. rt,
