has swept with even more than its accustomed
regularity-and the Grave has claimed tor its

years, and during that time how many who,
but comparatively short time ago, were &C

che reflection that these deaths nave taken

New YORK, May l9-The Post prints the
following: "a private note from Washington
gives the following as trustworthy informa-
ton; No movement is likely to take place on
the Potomac for some time. Gen. Hooker
has been left to follow his own plans, with the
assurance of not being interfered with.
Gov. Curtin of Pennsylvania, has offered to
raise so 900 volunteers to man the fortitica-
tons of Washington, and the proposition is
understood to have been accepted. Advices
received at the navy department from the
fleet in the Mississippi express the opinion
that Vicksburg must very shortly be ours.
The Herald's Washington despatch says the
rebels have delivered to Col. Ludlow about
1900 prisoners, who have arrived at camp pa
role, Annapolis. The rebels are not inclined
to release commissioned officers, except as
we have rebel officers to exchange for them.
Secretary Stanton has not made any authori-
tative declaration suspcndng the $500 pro-
vision OF the conscription act.
The Tribunes Washington dispatch states
that Gen. Scofeld has been assigned to the
command of the department of Missouri i'll
place of Gen. Curtis, removed.
Col. Thorpe, from Gen. Banks department,
states that Gen. Ullman's brigade is more than
filled, and the new country just opened by
Gen. Banks campaign will furnish two or
three divisions Of negroes IN response to Gen.
Banks call for a corps d Antique. There Is
no doubt that the rebels are engaged in rals-
ing negro regiments, as it is only from such
material they can now, in the extreme south
ern states, recruit their ranks. The negroes
are not backward in adopting uniform, which
is their death warrant if taken by the rebels.

SALAMANCA, CATTARANGUs COUNTY, N. Y,
May 19.-As the express tram on the Attain
tic and Great Western railroad, consisting Of
an engine, one baggage and two passenger
cars, was passing over bridge just west of
this station, to-day, the bridge parted in tine
CENTER letting the tender, the baggage car,
and one passenger car, down some fifteen feet
to the ground. The baggage car was badly
broken up, the passenger car but slightly
damaged. Fortunately, the small stream
which runs under the bridge was very low,
the water being but about ten inches in depth.
Among the casualties are the following =
A newsboy named Green, killed; c. Taplitfe,
U. S. mail agent, badly injured in the legs;
Oliver Coney, baggage master, injured in the
head and chest. Twenty or thirty others
were slightly bruised. None of the passen-
gers were seriously injured. The damage to
the bridge will be repaired, and trains will re-
sumo their regular trips by tomorrow morn
