TINS PARDON OF JANIS BAIRD On Friday
morning last, the pardon Of James Baird, con
vieted nj the April Term Of the United States
District Court, on the charge Of attempting to
rob the mail and assault on the person having il
~ charge, was received by james c. Akin, ESQ,
United States Marshal Tor the District of Della
ware. That gentleman conveyed tue document
to New Castle where Baird was incarcerated in
prison, on the same day, aud the culprit was
set at liberty. Baird manifested great joy upon
his release. This exercise Of the clemeucy of
the Executive was brought about from the fact
mat the evidence upon the trial was clear rs to
the assault, hut doubtful as To the attempt to
rob the mail. The petition for his pardon Was
signed by the jury that convicted him. and the
United States district Attorney who prosecuted
the case. Baird, it appears, was under the in
iluencc of liquor at the time of the commission
Ut the deed, and it is to be hoped that he will
profit by the lesson he has learned, aud shun
the Intoxicating bowl in the future. The fol
lowing is copy of the pardon;

New YORK, June Is.
The Worlds New Orleans letter of the
7th, states that small body of Grierson's
Cavalry, which was sent on reOonnoi-
sance in the vicinity of Clinton, they
came upon some 200 rebel cavalry The
report is that Capt. Davis and thirty men
were killed, 20 taken prisoners and 60
horses captured by the rebels. The rest
escaped and returned to our army, and has
fears that the cavalry would follow and
make raid on Baton Rouge, where our
supplies are, and only & small force been
sent to protect them.
A dispatch received this morning dated
Headquarters, 9th army corps states
that troops and wagons have been passing
there all night. The troops of the 9TH
corps are still guarding the Ford's with
orders to be in readiness to move at mo-
ments notice.
The Herald says editorially that its evil
dent that an active capaigu is now in op-
peration on the Rappahannock. Harper's
Ferry, the Shenandoah Valley and the
upper Fords of the Potomac, are points in

MORNING LEADER.
TUESDAY MORNING, JUNEI6, Ts63.
EeEanes Rear ven Froteeted.

OFamFs hear well Protected.
The Vicksburg correspondent of the
New York Tribune, speaking of the prob
abilities Of General Grant being attacked
in the rear, says: "As regards reinforce
ments reaching the beleaguered city, this
seems out of the question, for two reasons,
One is, that Vicksburg is surrounded by
swamps, through which are but few passes,
easily defended, and deiaohments of our
army hold them and no sufficient force
could leave in front Of Roseerans without
his knowledge, when he would advance, as
In fact he is now doing, inch by inch, as
if he we're fOreseeing this movement" -
The main fear is thus set at rest. General
Grant may proceed with the work Of re-
ducing the city leisurely.
We have a line Of communication, short,
direct and comparatively unexposed to at
tack, through WarrentOn and Chickasaw
Bayou. The policy Of our commanding
officers is to destroy sll the bridges, block
up all the roads, and in every way retard
the approaches to Vicksburg through the
arc Of a oOncentric circle of tewnty miles
in tho rear, so that Joe Johnston's army
Of reserve, if it should ever prove TO be
more than an army of Gorgons, Hydras
and Chimeras dire" will find it task Of
some difficulty to unesrth. US. There is
no serious apprehension of rebel Hfre
in the rear for some time to come. The
earthworks of the cOntending forces are
fast assuming the dimensions Of a second
sebastOpOL General Mcpherson has a
scheme on foot which may perhaps result
shortly in the capture of the stronghold
opposite him, but any description would
be improper.
The losses OF our armp during the pres
ent campaigR have been very heavy. In
General McCleraands Corps, Csrr's divis-
ion has lost about 1000 men. That of
General HOvey, in tho two battles of Port
Gibson and Champion Hills, lost 1868.
Still the army is in fine condition eager
for the fray"

A New HospitnI Chr.

After every great battle the compass
ionate heart of the community has been
shocked at the recital Of the sufFerings of
the wounded while being transported on
the platform or in uncovered cars, exposed
to heat, cold oElTain, and the misery Of
shiftings and jOltings. The most vivid i'm
agination could not f Il the picture with de-
tails more ghastly than those familiar to
every one who has been near a battlefield.
During the campaign on the Peninsula it
was as bad las could be. Since that time
we have seen a gradual ameliOratiOn, as
one improvement after another has been
adOpted. After the Fredericksburg fight
the poor fellows we're carried as carefully
as possible with ordinary means of trans
portation; but now that most efficient care
taker Of the wounded man and guardian
Of his comfort, the Sanitary Commission,
has fitted up hospital car, which appears
70 combine every improvement that can
be desired. The car has been turned over
to the Surgeon General, who has signifed
his approval of the plan, and has ordered
the immediate construction of three others
on the same plan. It resembles in general
appearance the ordinary sleeping car, but
the berths are simply the field stretchers,
which are brought in with their loads, and
are suspended by strong india rubber loops
from pegs in the sides Of upright sianch-
ions. Thus a badly wounded or very sick
! E Al ~
in which he is brought from the field until
he arrives at the place Of destination.
The great advantage of this car can
hardly be appreciated except by surgeons.
The stretchers are hung in three tiers, and
as their handles overlap, no room is lost.
Thus thirty beds may be suspended in a
Cesr Of ordinary size. There are also L
folding chairs provided, which nay be set
in the passage ways if required, and used
- for the accommodation of the least feeble,
The windows Of the roof open both ways,

The corner of the car, and there, too, is

dicament of the sufferers. This part was
arranged by an old sailor, who knew th'
value Of square inch. There is bed
also, for the surgeon in charge, and undel

A WOMAN STUNG To DEATH BY BEEs.-
We learn from the Columbiana Gazette that
Mrs. Hannah Kegarise, residing in Unity,
Columbiana county, on last Monday, while
working in the garden, came to her death by
the sting of bees, as near as we can learn in
the following manner One Of the children
had been tormenting them with a stick, and
on Mrs KS approach quite number Of
them flew at her, stinging her a number of
times about the head, from the effects Of
which she died in fifteen minutes. About a
year ago she was stung with one bee and her
life was despaired of for short time, but
recovered. At the time of the accident,
which resulted in her death, she was just re-
covering from a broken limb, and had just
been able to leave the room few days be-
fore. She leaves husband and several
children to mourn her loss.

FROM TIE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.


NEW YORK, June Is.
The Times says editorially that informa-
ton reached this city yesterday from
Washington that Lees army, 80, 600 strong,
was on this side of the Rappahannock,
marching northward and Hooker's army
was hastening north to prevent the rebel
advance. Lee, before the close of last
week, crossed by fords above Fredericks-
burg, and was apparently pushing for the
Orange and Alexandra railroad.
By Friday Hooker's whole army was on
the northward march, following that day
a line between Warrenton and Catletts
Station.
All our commissary stores have been
embarked from Aqua Greek.
Lee has been Joined by large detach-
ments from North Carolina and the Black
Water, and all his cavalry have been
massed on the north fork of the Kappa
hammock.
LOngstreefs corps, lately at Culpepper,
has doubtless Joined Lee.
Hooker's force cannot be inferior to
Lees, and our army has recently been
heavily reinforced from the Nansemond,
peninsula, and elsewhere.
No official or semi official indications of
these movements have been received from
Washington, and the Times says these ac-
counts we have obtained from other sourc =
es, but there seems to be agreement that
our army and that of the rebels are both
on the move and so close together they
can hardly avoid collision soon.
