MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-There are no
rebel camps visible on the heights be-
yond Frederick sburg.
Advices from trustworthy sources say
that the whole rebel force ia Virginia
numbers about 10000 including rein
fOrcement of 10000 since the battle of
Charlottesville.
A Washington letter TO the N. Y. Com
msrcial says, although it is denied that
the President received dispatch a day
or two ego from Grant, saying he had in
tercepted dispatch from the rebel SEQ
rotary of war to Pemberton, that if ne
could hold out Is days longer be could
send him one hundred thousand troops.
Gen. Grant says Pemberton can not hold
out 10 days, and that Grierson has de-
stroyed their railroads in Mississippi,
go that no considerable number Of rein
forcements could be furnished.
A special dispatch to the Post says
the military men here do not credit the
report that the rebel leaders are ooncen-
tratiDg an unusually large force In Vir-
ginia, but believe rather that every SOL
der who can be spared from Virginia
and the CarOlinss has been sent TO re-
lieve Johnston and Pemberton, or if too
late TO save Yicksburg, to seize some
other Mississippi river point so as TO
make the capture of Port Hudson by the
Eederals impracticable.
Governor Curtin differs, and is confer
ing with Gen. Schenck, for the defense
of Pennsylvania border.
WAsHINGroE, May 29-An official
dispatch from Vicksburg Goth, says the
attack is still progressing, and Grant still
gaining ground. 1t is reported that
General Carr and Col. Bloomer were
killed.
The rebel army is evidently moving,
but it is doubtful whether intending TO
make raid into Mary!rnd or endeavor-
ing to get between Hooker and Wash
ington.
The steamer City of Memphis, which
left Monday, reports Grant as having
captured every redoubt. Fighting was
still going on when the boat left. The
Federal loss is reported as being heavy.

About the tallest oaper we ever heard
Of bad boys cutting, is thus recorded in
the Louisville Journal:
We learn that band of juveniles
lately designated as the Forty Thieves
have organized themselves as a Provost
Guard, with regularly elected officers,
from Provost Marshal down TO the infe-
rior grades. During the past week
these. young miscreants have been en-
glged in arresting the children Of some
# our most respectable citizens, where
ever they could pick them up after dark,
aud conveying them to vacant house in
the lower part Of the city, where they
are placed under guard. Several of the
unfortunate little prisoners have been
recovered after being incarcers ted all
day and night, without monthfol to eat.
When parents 60 TO this barracks" in
search Of their children, they are furi-
Ously assaulted with rocks and other
dangerous missiles in the hands Of these
young desperaders. As our Provost
Guard has proved quite sufficient to meet
the requirements Of our citizens, we
would respectfully suggest to our police
officers tue propriety Of mastering this
new militsry organization out of service,
and have them detailed for duty in the
Workhouse.

published in pamphlet form, as deliberate
exposition of his views. On page II be says:
''The world cannot live without cotton, and
cotton can only be raised under the eye OF
master or overseeT.'
On page r. he says:

gro slavery has brought upon 1t is tor

meut of an empire monarchy the chief cor
ner stone of which shall be human bondage,

directly approves, sanctions and advises this
war tor slavery. On page OF the pamphlet
speech. we fBd the following words
SIT seems that there must be q time when
Shareholders nay tali back upon their natural

In the speech, he distinctly
himself in favor of dissolution Of the Union.
On page IA he says;

Here, then, is Woodward's own record, Is.
