Army oy TpB PoTOxA9 Friday March IN 1861
After the review Of the Twelfth Army Corps by
Gen Hooker yesterday, he met the officers at Gen.
Slocun . headqusrters In the course Of the inter-
view be expressed his qualification at the soldery
sppearance Of the corps under their command, and
.aid that be relied upon them for their assistance
and hearty cooperation in tho ensuing campaign.
So far as he was concerned, he meant that " there
should be no more mistakes or doubtful resuts. II
the enemy did not run, God help them"
During Averls recent cavalry fight We had only
three men killed on the field end five MORALLY
wounded; we had many slight cuts and flesh
wounds but our to casualties are sss than seventy.
The report that Col. Doster was wounded proves
incorrect. The enemy left twenty dead upon the
field. including Major Phelsn Of Lees staff and we
brought in eighty prisoners. Rebel officers who
have ,ince met our own under the flag Of truce seem
very sore about the affair and express astoniShmens
at the splendid fighting Of our cavalry. Fully one
third of our wounded show marks Of the sabcr, 30
close WIS the contest The effect Of the fight upon
the tone of our entire army has been admirable.

The Richmond Examiner of yesterday has an ex-
traordnary leader the tone Of which is evidently in
tended 10 prepare the public mind Of the South for
serious reverses to the Confederate arms the line
of the Rappahsnnock. 1t commences with the fol-
lowing significant language:
"The active operations Of the chief Union army
under Hooker are now commenced and either de.
csve BATTLE or the retreat Of Gen. Lee must be the
speedy conseq uence and tho latter contingency il
possible, but not probsble and another heavy strug'
gle over the limo Of tho Rappahsnuock may be
safely anticipated"
After speculsting upon the supposed plan Of Gen.
Hooker, and the strength and probabilities OF sue
cess Of Gen. Lees forces, the editor remarks If,
however, the Confederate Generals force is not sui.
icently numerous to prevent the completion OF the
maneuver, it is supposed that no course remains but
TO fall back upon some point nearer Richmond, and
give the enemy battle at greater distance from bis
base."
There is nothing Of Importance from any scene Of
active operations in the field.
There was heavy fall Of snow here during the
lay and last night. II is cold now.

Fremont to take Command or re-
sign--Butler's Destination
Resolved UpOn--Seward
and Meroier--The
New Postal Bill.
WASHINGTON, February IA.


Fremont has made another demand to
be placed in active service somewhere.-
He does not ask for any particular COM
mand, but only requests that if the Presi-
dent has any use for him as Major Gener-
al, he should promptly put him to that
use, and that he has further decided, if his
request is net complied with, to resign
his commission in the army, being unwil-
ling to hold place for which the Presi-
dent must be regarded as declaring him
unfit. Fremont was on the floor of the
Senate to-day, where he was warmly well
coined by Messrs. Wade, Sumner, Chand-
Ter, Wilmot and others.
It is stated that Buffers destination is
finally decided on-that he was to have
received his orders this evening. The
stories are that the management of the
War Department found him an unpleas-
ant rival, and was only too glad to get rid
of him.
Chase's friends say that careful count
Of the House shows clear majority in IA
VOr of his bank bill.
Mercier is disposed to make light of the
question between him and Seward, and
will not make point. OF what his Gov
ernmeut may do is another matter.

He is allowed 10 communicate with the
officers Of the guard and fort through
whom he can procure any food he desires
IN addition to his rations Having taken
advantage Of paper and books to commu-
nicate with persons outside he isn't al
lowed the privilege Of their use. The sur
geon reports his health generally good,
better, by his own confession, than when
he was first imprisoned. He considers the
prisoner mentally sane, but regards him
as ecoentric.
Adjutant General Townsend reports him
as indicted by the Grand Jury Of the
Maryland District, for attempting to
seize tie Mary Washington for treason,
and quotes the opinion of General Dix,
that he should be treated as q pirate and
spy. There are four witnesses to prove
the first crime, and their evidence 10 the
second charge consists in his being taken
in the disguise Of female, with COM
mission as Colonel Of active volunteer
forces Of Virginia, upon his person. In
consequence Of such q report, he is not
held as a prisoner of war, and he was
placed in close confinement for desper-
ate attempt to escape.
The Secretary Of the Navy has received
voluminous dispatches from Rear Admi-
raj Dupont in reference to the late attack
on the bloekading feet off Charleston.
Officers commanding various vessels of
abe blOckading feet make the following
statement:
We deem it our duty to say that the re-
suits as published in the Charleston pa
pers are false in every particular No
vessels were sunk and none set on fire.
Two vessels alone were injured, the Mer-
cedita and Keystone State. After the
gring ended the blockade continued as be-
fore. No vessel ran in or out the port
that day, nor was any attempt made to run
the blockade. These are the facts and We
do not hesitate to state that no vessel did
come out beyond the bar after the return
of the rams, between and "a. n, to the
cover Of the forts

FROlI WASHINGTON.

WAsHIEGToE, Feb. l6.
The Presidents message, with accompa-
nying statements of the officers of the In
terror Department, in response to the
Houses resolution of December last, in
curing into the cause of the Indian out
break in the Northwest, gives no adequate
cause for the mischief and outrages OF such
magnitude The evidences Of a premedi-
tated design in their attack is not satisfac-
tory.
The Sioux brooded over and complained
of misunderstanding stipulations but
their agent, Mr.. Galbraith, had apprehend-
ed no unusual difficulty up TO the time
Of the outbreak. They appeared to CO.
operate cordially in the preparation made
for the civilization andnational advance
ment. Messengers had been sent TO other
tribes, even to Selkirk settlement, to an
nounee their declaration ofwar, and to de-
mand assistance. But there is no evidence
of q reasonable ground for such expecta-
tions.
The Secretary Of the Interior thinks that
the chief or'immediate cause was an un-
fortunate affair, in which few reckless
Young Indians became involved through
the use of spirituous liquors. This oe-
CURED at a time when their minds were
inAamed by accounts given by reckless or
malicious persons of bloody conflicts in
the United States, affirming that the Gov
ernment was broken up, and that their
annuities would not be paid, and they
must take care Of themselves.
This excitement added to disafection
that having parted with their lands evil
IDENTIFY led them to attempt to regain their
hunting grounds.
Threatened difficulties with the Chippe-
wa, Pillager and Winnebago Indians was
happily arrested. The quarrel was per-
sonal between the agent and the principal
chiefs of Mississippi bands.
The message is accompanied by interest
ing and circumstisl ds:sils'of massaersS by
Agents Galbraith and George H. Spencer
and from the report of Calvert Sibley.
The report of Senator Wilson, from the
Military Committee, in answer to resolu-
tion inquiring into the case Of Richard
Thomas, of Maryland, alleged to be insane
from in-usage while q prisoner Of war,
states that he was placed in confinement
December 31st, 1851, and after March Sd,
1852, he was kept in close quarters. he
attempted to escape, in April, by jumping
overheard and swimming to Long Island

CoMxAND OF CoLoRED TRooPs-At

Gems Of Cleveland, last evening, it was unan-
imously desired that in case it becomes a law
that colored men are to be mustered into the

one or more regiments in this State. Mr..
Mcleod was born in Savannah, Georgia
he was forced to leave his home for no other
reason than because he took sides with the
oppressed against the OppressOr, and has ever
since defended the rights of the dowutrod-
den, For the last i've years he.has been a
student at different institutions in this State,
from each Of which he has won the highest
eommendation of the Professors. We regard
him as a gentlemen of fine attainments, and

Snee in military matters, and We believe is
fully competent to fill the position he so ar

TIE READINGS The Academy Of Mu-
sic was filed last evening by very fine
audience, brought together to hear Mr.. Muir
doch's readings from the poets. The enter
tainment was rather prolonged but he did
not weary his audience. Whether giving
voice to the inspired utteranees Of shaks-
peare, the glowing verse Of Byron, the
smooth and polished melody Of Whittier, the
feeling song of Hood, the wierd rhymes of
Poe or the convulsiTe humor Of Dickens, Mr..
Murdoch is always successful and happy
We think, however, that his chief power lies
in the field of tragedy.
He gave his opinion with regard to the idea
intended to be conveyed in POe's Raven, %
which BY the way, he read as no one else can
readit. He considers that Z" the lost LenOre y
symbolizss the innocence and purity Of child
hood, which to Poe would return "neVer-
more The raven typihes that remorsa Of
whose unweleome presence the brilIisnt but
unhappy poet was unable to rid himself.
Mr.. Murdoek read Hoods "Bridge Of
sighi" with much feeling and effect. I" The
Pipes Of Lucknow" brought the historic
scene which the poem of Whittier OOnmen-
crates very fOrcibiy to the fsncies Of biz
listeners. The selections from shakspears'l
tragedy Of Julius Caesar we're spIspdidlJ
rendered. The " Shooting Party" from tbs
PiekEiek papers, amused the audience great
y, and formed pleasing variety to the per
formanee,

Review Of rhe Cleveland wholesale Mar
ket for Produce, Groceries, &c, for the
Week ending February IR 1RRS

Review OF the Cleveland wholesale Mar
ket for Produce, Groceries, &c, for the
Week ending February 16, 1868.
The downward tendency in breadstuffs noted
in our last weekly report, was followed, later in
the same day, by decline Of &c on wheat, at
which point the market remained dull and heavy
for day or two, WHEN it dropped to $3.50, with a
few sales at that figure. Holders generally,
however, were indisposed to sell. Subsequently
part of the decline was recovered, and at the
close, sales were made at 81, IS, with firm feel
ing on the part Of sellers. Flour has been held
at old figures, but the transactions of the week
have been very limited, and these prices have
been little more than nominal. At the close, the
feeling in the market has improved, but holding
rates are still too high for the relative price of
wheat.
The receipts of both Wheat and Flour arc very
light.
Corn declined three cents early the week. and has
sold to a considerable amount at 7Oe. The transac-
tions in Oats, Barley and Rye are very few, and
scarcely sufficient to furnish exact quotations.
There has been quiet market for seeds, with
a decline Of 25s5Oc on clover. Timothy is IN
moderate supply and little more than nominal at
quotations.
Hogs continue about reported in our last Our
quotations Of that date still paid, though not
readily.
The Provision market remains inactive and not ac-
curately quoted. The only Transaction in pork was a
sale Of alot Of uninspected country mess at sls75
Choice sugar-cured hams have sold at &c. The stock
Of Pork and Cut Meats is extremely light, except
those in the hands OF city packers.
There has been an active demand for Dried Apples
and N
the week-mostly at SIC.
Highwines remain unchanged.
In the Grocery department we note an advance in
Macksrel, White Fish, Cassia Rice, and white coae
Sugar, which last quote at an improvement Of &c
on last weeks outside figure
Exchange and Government Currency are selling at
4 per cent premium.
