WASHINGTON, June 5

WASHINGTON, June 5.
The Star, this afternoon, says that Gen
eraI Hunter has been at last removed, and
that General Gilmore succeeds him.
Yesterday and last night the enemy
moved of toward Gordons7ille and Gull
pepper. For several days past, the enemy
has been sending away troops, and has
strengthened and weakened his picket
lines as circumstances demanded, in order
to more fully deceive our forces as to his
real intention. There were indications on
Wednesday night, that Lee was massing
his forces at United States Ford, on the
RsppahannOck, apparently either to at
tempt crossing there, or to make a feint for
crossing elsewhere. The rebels have some
facilities for crossing just now in a very
low stage of water in the Rappshannock,
which can b, crossed almost dry shod at
numerous places.
The Star says it would not be proper for
them to intimate what preparations Hooker
has made to meet the enemy, should they
undertake to pay his side of the river
visit, but it is safe to say that Lee will find
the attempt hazardous one, and that he
will not be permitted to return with impu-
nifty when once across.
Considerable of sensation was created
to-day ever the arrival of Fernando Wood
in Washington, and his subsequent visit
to President Lincoln, with whom he spent
en- hour. He called at the White House,
between 10 and II o'clock, and on his re-
turn was the object of considerable atten-
ton, especially 10 some of the cabinet
members, who were on their way to at
tend the II o'clock cabinet meeting. Sub
sequently, in alluding to his interview,
Wood remarked to friend, that he learn
ed that the military situation was encour-
aging, but politics looked gloomy. 1t is
understood that his visit here was, in fact,
on private business, that Of engaging a
residence for the next session of Congress,

own accord. His appearance here so sud-
denly after the Peace Convention, has, Of
course, given rise to every conceivable
story. He will not return to New York
for several days.
The regular Cabinet meeting to-day was
prOtracted one, important business, no
doubt, claiming the attention of the Presi-
dent and his advisers.
ITO the Chicago Tribune.l
1t is rumored that Admiral Dahlgreen,
who applied for active service, goes with
Admiral Foote, and that Admiral Dupont
will take charge of the Ordnance Bureau.
[SOme negro troops in Union uniforms ar
rived, and preceded by a fine brand, pa
raded the avenue to-day, making really a
fine appearance. In the evening they
marched up to the White House and past
tbs War department. At some points The
negroes were loudly cheered. They raised
one hundred recruits to-day.

BALDWIN UNIvERsITY.-EDIToR LEAD
Err Your old army friend has Of late been
wandering about little, and on the Sd in
slant found himself at the celebrated Grind
stone City, (sometimes called Berea) the
seat of Baldwin University, just in time to
witness some of the examinations and all Of
the Commencement exercises.
This Institution has stood up nobly in these
trying times, and while largely represented
in the army, has succeeded in keeping her
classes almost as full as ever.
The Trustees, by their liberality. have re-
Gently inaugurated very important meas
ure. They proposed to sell the Wallace Hall
property to the German Methodists, for the
purpose of establishing great central Ger
man College for the benefit of all the Ger
man of the United States. A great enter
prise, say you, but isn't this the day of stu
pendOus operations.
The new College is to be open to all the
students of Baldwin University free of
charge, who may choose to acquire a knOWl-
edge of this noble language.
The German Methodist Episcopal Church
was represented here, on the Sd inst, by an
Educational Convention which took into con-
sideratiOn the above proposition, and after
some discussion and much deliberation, they
unanimously accepted it, and proceeded to
provide for two new Professorships, and en-
dow the college, &c. The old ProfessOrship
filed by Rothwsiler has given entire satis-
faction and been very successful.
Should our German friends succeed in this
land they never fail,) we may expect this
college to contribute as much, if not more,
than any other one to the educational inter
ests Of Ohio. 1t will have intellectually a
giant faculty. The advantage to the student
Of attending a school where the German
alone is taught and spoken is immeasurable.
DeNast of Cincinnati, one of the most ae-
cOmplished scholars of the age, says that his
children did not succeed we'll in the study of
the German in the hest schools of this coun-
try-but after entering the schools of Ger
many their progress was astonishing. There
they Taught and talked nothing else. We
say emphatically success to our Teutonie
friends.
Baldwin University is rising. The cold
cherries season of her discomfort is wearing
away, and bright and hopeful future is be-
fore her. Her President is a live man-awake
to the demands of the times-her faculty
united, competent, and successful.
All regret the resignation Of Professor
Hartupee who has been connected with the
institution for the past eight or ten years
and greatly endeared himself to hundreds of
the students, I believe he intends entering
upon the labor Of the ministry.
Mr.. Schuyler, Professor of Mathematics, is
8 .. FL
science We have ever met. The demonstra-
tions at the Board by some of his class
evineed profound knowledge of Mathematics
and reflected credit alike on both teacher
and student.

ment exercises at length, but cannot All

Reports from Rebel Papers---The
Importance Of Holding
VickSburg.
ITO the Cincinnati Gazette.l

MURFREEsBoRo', June5
A letter to the Chattanooga Rebel of
May S1st, dated HOOvey Gap, May p, says
that General Breckinridge's division has
been broken up, and the pieces scattered.
He and his staff, with one of the frag-
ments, have been sent to another field Of
labor. The letter goes on to eulogize Gen
eral Breckinridge, and regrets the break
ing up of his band. All this confirms our
former reports of his troops having gone
to Mississippi.
The Mobile Register Of May 29th says:
aGrant having made seven assaults upon
General Pemberton, and been blOOdily re-
pulsed in each, has gone to digging. This
means regular siege operations, and an at
tempt to starve the garrison. He can't
whip-can he starve out Vioksburg? Not
in q hurry, certainly. 1t is we'll prOvi-
stoned Grants possession Of Snyder's
Bluff gives him large advantage in the
proposed siege, in shortening mis- base and
enabling him easily to obtain supplies.
The interest of the situation causes all
eyes to be turned thither. The great bat-
tie, perhaps the decisive battle of the war,
will be fought within cannon shot Of Vicks-
burg.
"There is death-like quietude on Rose
Grams lines. 1t is presumed Grant has
been reinforced from the Tennessee army.
The Yankees will need great numbers for
the work before them, and will send them.
We want the same, and they are gone and
going. General Johnston is quietly rails
ing an army in Grants rear. In short
time one hundred thousand Confederates
will be ready to dispute the sovereignty of
the lower Mississippi, and if victorious,
re-establish the freedom of Louisiana
The fall of the empire hangs upon the
struggle of Vicksburg.
The Chattanooga Rebel devotes its leader
to advocating in all cases the black flag
for black men. The article on Tennessee
affairs says: "On the fate of Vicksburg
hangs the fate of Tennessee. If we play
eternal smash with Grant, goodbye to
poor Roseorans; but if Grant gives Penn
bertOn his quietus, then farewell, a long
farewell to the proposed re-OccupatiOn of
Nashville and Southern Kentucky"

SHOOTING DoGs.-The legal slaughter
of vagrant dogs as at present practised is
nuisance. We hear many complaints on the
subject. If ours are to be killed, why can
not they be collected in some canine Place de
Ia GreVe, and be executed with proper formal
tiles? The other day dog was shot before
house whore lady was lying dangerously
i'll. She was Teviving somewhat when the
pistol shot, the dogs howls and the screams
of the frightened children threw her into a
relapse. This kind of thing should not be
allowed. We trust something will be done
to remedy the evil.
