Have we among US men who are prepar-
ed to second this programme of disorder
and civil war among the loyal States, for
the security of victory and peace in the
disloyal States, Involving the consummate
overthrow of the Nation2 If we have, they
are the worst possible public enemies, and
the enmity we have toward the traitors in
arms in the section where the rebellion has
made law, is tame in comparison with that
due those double traitors. We are, how
ever, inclined to believe jeff Davis as much
mistaken in the people Of the Northwest
now, as he was in the people of the whole
North, and the majority of the people Of the
border States, at the commencement of the
war.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 9th inst,
the day after the return of JET Davis to
Richmond and his serenade speech, con-
tanned n leader which bears evidence of
official suggestions; and while perfectly in
harmony with the speeches of the "Presi
dent of the Confederate States" it uses
language somewhat more explicitly than
we find it reported of him in the imperfsct
sketches given of his remarks. The En-
9uirer responds to propositions made and
advocated at New Jersey peace meeting
by the Hon. James Brooks. Those propo-
sitions were such as are in favor among
the peAce-at."ny- price men of the North.-
They are full of COnciliation, COMPROMISE
concession, offers of Southern rights, and
everything OF the sort, and part of the
machinery to be used in making peace
without war was to be a convention Of all
the States. The Enquirer disposes of the
matter in this downright language:

ful since the publication of Gen. Lees official
announcement, was a native of Virginia, and
graduated at West Point in the class of 1916.
lie was IN the Mexican war, was attached to
Magruders battery, and was brevetted Captain
for gallant conduct at Contreras and Cheru-
busco, and Major for like conduct at the storm
ing of Chapultepec. He retired from the army
IN 1852, and became connected with a Virginia
military institute. At the outbreak of the re-
bellion he was very low down in the list of
those who were expected to be of value to
the South But he soon displayed an originali-
ty and vigor that left him no competitors in
his particular line of service. He was i'm every
important battle in Virginia from Bull Run to
Charlottesville; but his remarkable qualities
were first displayed in the famous raid up the
Shenandoah valley last summer, and afterward
in the attack on our right wing at Mechanics
vile. Both in his raids and charges, he moved
with the utmost celebrity, while in the latter
he so massed and kept his forces in hand, that
his onset was tremendous. In fact, he has
caused the Union army more trouble than
any other rebel officer He probably had not
the capacity of Lee for enlarged operations,
but as dashing and effective corps comman-
der, his place cannot be supplied in the rebel
army. We willingly do this Justice to his
memory, because in his private life, and in the
sincerity and depth of his convictions, how
ever mistaken, he was an example worthy the
attention of too many officers in our own
ranks. He demonstrated the value of being
In earnest, and in this respect as in many 9TH
ers, it is, according to the old maxim, fright
to learn from the enemy"

FROM WASHINGTON,

No Movement of Our Army-Telegraph Gen.
sorship-Return of Volunteers-Capture of
q Blockade Runner-National Banks.
WASHINGTON, May IL.
Gentlemen arriving from the Rappahanock
last night, who are certainly in a position to
speak advisedly, say there are no indications
of a movement to the south side of the river
by our army.
The censorship over Geographic messages,
instead of being relaxed, has, if possible, be-
come more stringent.
Thousands Of discharged volunteers, their
term of service having expired, passed through
Baltimore homeward bound, on Tuesday; and
yesterday and to-day regiments returning from
the army of the Potomac paraded our streets.
The men generally appeared to be in healthy
condition, and many of them state that their
health has been strengthened by their two
years or nine months service.
The Navy Department has received infor-
nation that the steamship Cherokee was cap
tured off Charleston, while endeavoring to run
the blockade.
Rebel prisoners to the number of 100 have
signided their willingness to take the oath of
allegiance TO the United States government.
Hugh McCulock. the comptroller of the
Currency, has decided that associations or
ganizing under the Act to provide Natio nal
Currency, &c, shall be designated as National
Banks, and not as National Banking Associa-
tons.

Washington Items.

New YORK, May IA.
Washington special dispatches state that
Gen. Stahl's cavalry have secuted the country
about Warrenton and in other directions pretty
thoroughly. They report nothing but small
sqads of guerrillas, who continue to hover
about our lines in the hopes of doing mischief
when occasion may offer.
The sister and neice of Jackson. who killed
Ellsworth, have been arrested in Georgetown
They are charged with aiding the rebels by
forwarding rebel mails, and in other ways.
They will probably be sent South immediately
1t is stated positively in diplomatic circles
that the entente cordiale is perfect between
Mr.. Seward and the British and French Min
listers.
1t is understood that Secretary Chase receiv-
ed by the last steamer, official advices from
Hon. Robert j. Walker, to the effect that he
would probably negotiate within a week, one
hundred million dollars on satisfactory terms,
interest payable in London.
Arrangements have already been completed
by Col. Hoffman for the exchange of all Union
officers and soldiers captured by the rebels in
the late battles on the Rappahannock.
A letter received by secessionist in Wash
ington, from rebel Major confined in Fort
Delaware, says the rebel force in the recent
engagement at Charlottesville did not exceed
10000. The writer admits that the rebel loss
is much greater than the Federal.
The Virginia Union Convention met at
Alexandria yesterday. Frank III. Pierpont,

EXCHANGED AND RETURNED.-In COM
pany with many Of our citizens we yesterday
extended the hand of welcome to our worthy
fellow citizen, Capt. John w. Dix, late of the
gunboat Isaac P. Smith, U. S. n, which was
captured at Stono Inlet, on January 30th last,
by the rebels. Capt. d. has since that time
been prisoner of war in the military prisons
OF Charleston and Columbia, S. C. and Rich

as to the intentions, recources and prospects
of the rebel states. He was in Richmond

From Mexico.

New YORK, May IA.
Advices from Puebla, via Havana, 10 April
2lst, have been received.
A general review of the situation shows lit
tie change since the LIST of April. Gen. OHIO
ran, with 800 Mexican cavalry, had made a
sortie from Pueba to attack the French supply
trains on the road from Orizaba- Numerous
bands of guerrillas infested the road from Vera
Cruz to Orizaba, and several expeditions to
annihilate them had been unsuccessful. The
French in Vera Cruz entertained great fear
that million dollars in money and large
amount of ammunition about TO leave for Pu-
ebla would not arrive In safety Comoniort
had been reinforced by 1000 men from the city
of Mexico, aud Mexican reports express the
hope that by overwhelming numbers they will
be able to annihiate the French INVADERS
The traitor Bultron, who acted in concert with
the French, is said to have been totally defeat
ed, and Marjuese is reported to be a prisoner.
A private letter received in Havana states
that since the first occupation of the fort of
San Xavier, the French army had not obtained
any advantage. Several attacks have been
made upon various points, but always with i'll
success, and sometimes with absolute defeat.

FORTRESS MONROE, May l3.
The British frigate Rinaldo arrived This af-
ternoon. She left Charleston at o'clock p.
NJ. last Monday.
BY this steamer we received the Charleston
Daily Courier Of the It'll, which contains the
following dispatches:
Vicksburg, 7th.-The enemy have made no
movement this side Of Big Black River. The
enemy's cavalry is reported to be about Cayu-
ga A party of Yankee cavalry crossed at
Hankerson's farm on Tuesday night, and cap
tured Mr.. Owen and son, and recrossed the
river again.
Vicksburg, Sth.-The enemy are using their
spades on the other side of Big Black River
The Yankees occupy Utica, Hines County.
Vicksburg, 9th.-There is nothing new from
the front The enemy are landing troops at
Young's Point. 1t is supposed they are des-
tined to reinforce Grant.
Among the Yankees captured by Forest are
many citizens or natives Of Southern States.
We hope the Governors of the several States
will promptly make demand for the reten-
ton and trial of these traitors under the State
laws. 1t will be more than idle mockery to
turn them loose on exchange.
Among the prisoners reported in Richmond
on the 9th, from Fredericksburg, was Frank
p. Blair, Jr., and passengers say the oath of
allegiance was administered to him at his own
request.

The Tribune has direct advises from the

the north side of the Rappahannock, are I'M
founded. The army occupies its old camps.
The troops are in good spirits. There is some
disappointment among the rank and file at the
retreat, though no decentralization.
Stoneman's raid has been overrated. The
Richmond and Fredericksburg road was so
little damaged that it was repaired in "a hours.
Our losses exceed 1900 men, while Lee is
said TO admit the loss of $1,000. Our army
still outnumbers that of the rebels.

of Vicksburg. Two divisions of Sherman's
corps had reached Grand Gulf McArthurs
force was crossing. The army was in excel
lent condition.
Second Dispdtch.-The very latest dates
from Grants army are to Thursday. At that
time it was eighteen miles from Grand Gulf,
encamped near Big Black river. We have not
yet possession of any part Of the railroad be-
tween Vicksburg and Jackson. There is
probably no truth in the reported battle at
Clinton. Grant is receiving heavy reinforce
ments. new road for troops and trains has
been made from Young's Point to the river
below. 1t is only eight miles long and great
ly expedate the forwarding of men and sup
