New YORK, May Is.
The morning papers are barren of much else
than speculation. The Tribunes dispatch says
a movement is on foot, in and out of the Cab
met, for the appointment of Gen. Butler to the
command of the Department of the West.
Provost Marshals have been directed to pro-
coed forthwith with the draft, but it is supposed
to be doubtful whether any can be made be-
fore the middle of July. Volunteers may be
called before that time.
The Times dispatch states that Senators
Wade and Chandler have arrived from Fal-
mouth, and report our troop in most effective
condition and best of spirits and impatient for
an immediate advance on Lees army.
Capt. Flagler, our chief ordidance officer, re-
ports that we lost eight guns, and captured
nine, in the recent battles, thus putting the lie
on the rebel assertion that they captured fifty
guns

81. Petersburg, Nay 6M.-The Journal de
ST. Petersburg of to-day publishes the text of
the notes addressed by the Swedish, Spanish
and Italian cabinets to the Russian govern
ment on the Polish question, together with
the replies of Prince Gortschakofl to the same
The Swedish cabinet in its note trusts to the
humane and generous principles of the Empe-
ror, and is sure that words of clemency and
oblivion, with a prospective regime of wise
liberty, would suffice to completely restore or
der and tranquility.
The Spanish note bitterly regrets that the
Impotence of the Poles should not have wait
ed for the continuation of the system of con-
cessions already accorded by the Emperor
Having acquired the experience that modera-
ton pacifes more usefrlly and certainly than
severity, the Queen of Spain asks pardon and
indulgence for the Poles. The reply of Prince
Gortschakotf thanks the Queen amicably.
The note of the Turin Cabinet is couched
in most amicable terms, and hopes that the
Russian Court will see in the date of its COM
munication proof of the desire of Italy to
always entertain the frankest and most sincere
relations with Russia. Prince Gortsehakoff
states in his reply that the Emperor has re-
ceived the amicaDle assurances of the Italian
government with pleasure.
As to the wishes it expresses in favor of Po-
land, the Prince observes that the Italian gov
eminent is not ignorant that revolution i'm
poses difficult task on government. The
Emperor, however, seeks to establish a lasting
epace.
Crdco,r, Nay 5.-According TO news re-
ceived here from Lithnnia, 1000 Baskclnks,
schismatic dssentieuts, armed by the Russian
government, in the neighborhood of Duna-
berg, are desolating Livonia with fire and
sword. Shocking details have been received
of their atrocities.
Yesterday body of 600 Russians were re-
pulsed by Miniewski at Olkusz.

Capture of Federal Mail Boats - Later from
Charleston
FORTRESS MONROE, May 10.
Two small boats which have been running
for some time from Norfolk through the Dis
NAL Swamp canal to North Carolina, carrying
mails, &c, were captured yesterday near Car
rituck bridge, forty miles from Norfolk.
The track of the Seabrook d Roanoke Rail-
road is being torn up by our Suffolk forces be-
tween Cariville and the junction with the
Norfolk & Petersburg Railroad. An order
has been passed in Petersburg prohibiting the
taking of Federal money.
The following is from the Charleston Mer-
curry The guns of the Keokuk have been
raised. The guns of this famous iron clad
now lie on South Commercial wharf, Charles
ton. They consist of two long 11-inch CO.
lumbiads, and will soon be mounted for our
defence-valuable acquisitions no less than
handsome trophies of the battle of Charleston
harbor.
Our prisoners were compelled to walk from
the places of capture to Richmond, and from
thence to City Point. Some gave out on the
march, and could proceed no further. A
member of the Goth New York regiment died
on the route. A rebel captain named Turner
had charge of our prisoners from Richmond
to City Point and is represented to be a brute
of the blacklist kind. A soldier of the 10th
route, by order of Turner, because he could
proceed no further. He would not even al
low the men a drink of water.

Fortress Monroe with load of rebel prison.
ers. The rebel Major Prentice is on board
with $50 prisoners bound to Richmond for ex-
change. He is the son of Mr.. Prentice of the
Louisville Journal.
The Petersburg Express of the 18th says
the retalatory resolutions adopted by the Con-
federate Congress, provide that every commits
stoned officer who shall command negroes for
military service against the Confederate States,
when captured, shall be put to death and ne
groes, when thus captured, shall be delivered
to the State authorities, TO be dealt with ac-
cording to the present or future laws of the
State.
The same paper says the affairs about Vicks-
burg at this time cannot be regarded as flatter-
ing, although safe. 1t will require the utmost
caution, courage and skill to avert disaster.
After having a years time to perfect all the
defences, it appears that we are now set
upon in the very quarter where we least ex-
pected it. 1t may be contraband to say this
much, but it is due TO the people that they
should know how affairs stand, and if danger
threatens they are entitled to know in what
quarter it is. The place for the next fight
will be below Vicksburg or on the railroad
between Vicksburg and Jackson.

WASHINGTON, May Is.
The War Department has officially proclaim
ed the instructions for the government OF the
armies of the United States in the field, pre-
pared by Francis Leiher, l.. l.. d. and revis-
ed by board of officers, of which Maj. Gen.
T.. A. Hitchcock was President. Having been
approved of by the President of the United
States, he commands that they be published.
Among other things, the instructions set forth
that place, district or county occupied by an
enemy, stands, in consequence of the occupa-
ton, under the martial law of the invading or
occupying army, whether any proclamation
declaring martial law, or any public warning
to the inhabitants, has been issued or not
Martial law is the immediate or direct effect,
and consequent of occupation or conquest
Martial law is simply military authority exer
cised in accordance with the laws and usages
of war. Military oppression is not martial
law it is the abuse of the power which that
law conlers.
AS martial law is executed by military force
it is incumbent on those administering it 10 be
strictly guided by the PRINCIPLES of JUSTICE
honor, humanity and virtue, adjoining a soldier
even more than any other men, for the very
reason that he possesses the power of his arms
against the unarmed. Consuls among Euro
pean and American nations are not diplomatic
agents, nevertheless their officers and persons
will be subjected TO martial law in cases of
urgent necessity only Their property and
business are not exempted. Any delinquency
they commit against the established military
rules may be punished as in the case of any
other inhabitant, and such punishment furn-
ishes no reasonable ground for international
complaint.
The more vigorously wars are pursued, the
the better it is for humanity. Sharp wars are
brief.
The instructions also treat of the appropria-
ton, by victorious army, of the public and
private property OF the enemy.
