GEN. GRAST's DAUGHTER PHoToGRAPHED.-
One of the most interesting Incidents OF the
exhibition at the St. Louis Sanitary Fair on
Friday afternoon was tho taking Of a photo
graphic likeness OF q daughter OF Lieutenant
General Grant, who, since the beginning of
the Fair, has been personAtlng the character
Of the old woman In the shoe, IN the children's
department. We understand that she is the
Generals only daughter, and Ia eight years Of
age. She was dressed as an old woman, with
cap and spectacles, and seated In mammoth
shoe, and surrounded by innumerable dolls.
crowd Of spectators gathered about to
witness the undertaking, and gaEed with great
interest upon the little old woman as soon as
II was whispered about that she was Gen
Grants daughter. She paid no attention,
however, to the close scrutiny OF the crowd
was not in the least disconnected, and during
the sitting" was as perfectly self-possessed
and unmoved as her illustrious father is usu-
ally represented in all his terrific battles.
As soon as her likeness had been taken, Mai
Mackay, and the Secretary OF the Fair, pro-
posed three rousipg cheers for Lieut.. Gen.
Grant," which were given. The Generals
daughter Is very prepossessing In appearance,
with fair complexion and plump features, and
dressed as an old woman, she possessed a cap
tlVating appearance. A large number OF her
will be taken, and no doubt will
meet with ready sale.

No intelligence later than has heretofore

A portion Of Gen. Buffers force at Bermuda
Hundred, not required for defensive operations
there, has been transferred, under the command
Of Gen. Smith, to the Army of the Potomac,
and is supposed by this time to have formed

No change In the command Of the Depart
ment of Virginia has been made. Gen. Butler
remains in full command Of the Department Of
Virginia and North Carolina, and continues at
the head of his force in the field.
Dispatches from General Candy have been
received to-day. He is actively engaged in
resupplylng the troops brought back by Gems.

exercised by Gen. Grant, and now exercised
by Gen. Sherman over the Departments OF the
Ohio, the Cumberland, and the Tennessee.

We are very happy to be able to announce
that we were mistaken yesterday in stating
upon the authority of usually very reliable
gentleman) that Gems. Butler and Banks were
ssverally superceded in their commands, and
had been assigned to other duties. The secre.
tary of War announces that they continue in
command Of their several Departments, Gen.
sButler being yet in the field at the head OF all
tho troops not sent under Gen. Smith to join
Gen. Grant; and Gen. Banks continues in COM
mand of the Department OF the Gulf, which

Of Gen. Candy.

HEGIRA OF THE CoNTRABASDs.-O On the
abandonment of Fredericksburg as a base by
our forces, large numbers of the negroes, old
and young, took occasion to emigrate from that
unWholesome locality. Yesterday the Andrew
HHrker brought about eight hundred to this
city, and when the gunboats left the Kappa
hammock river they conveyed large number
to Point Lookout. In anticipation of their
flight, the poor creatures had hid away food
and clothing, and they express the utmost
at their escape.

Gov. Andy johnson Attacked by Drunk IN
omeer--He knocks his AssaiIant
Down and Poundh Him,

Just before dark last evening most disgrace
ful affair occurred on one Of the principal thor
oughfares OF the city. A drunken officer,
named Augustus A. Brown, Lieutenant of the
7lst Ohio volunteer infantry, after Insulting
several gentlemen on Cedar street in the neigh
borhood Of the capitol, stopped at the private
residence OF Gov. johnson, and demanded
sOme whlske! from a negro who was standing
at the gate. The negro told him that he had
nothing Of the kind, when the Lieutenant, in
an enraged condition, drew pistol, and threat
ened to shoot him. The negro fed TO the house,
closely followed by the officer.
Gov. johnson, hearing the disturbance, came
out OF the house and OndeavorSd to appeAse the
wrath OF the Lieutenant, when he cooked his
pistol and fired at the Governor, the ball gra-
Eing the Governors side and passing through
his coat. At this stage Of the affair the Gov
ernor concluded that paciAcation was entirely
out Of order, and throwing aside his dlgnatorial
robes he advanced upon the Lieutenant, and,
as he should have done, knocked him down
and pounded him severely. Tho Lieutenant

SUSTAIN THE GOVERNMENT AND
nRINa anIp DOWN

bObTAAh THE GOVERNMENTS AND
BRING GOLD DOWN.
Great complaint has been and continues to
be made about abuses In cotton speculatlons.
No doubt, such abuses exist It is impossible
to prevent them as long as cotton can be
bought at twenty cents within rebel lines and
sold at eighty cents within Union lines. That
tells the whole story. Trade regulations are
doubtless as good as they can be made, but the
dlfieulty ia in enforcing them.
Commanding Generals and Generals Of De-
pnrtmeuts and Admirals of the Navy doubtless
desire to prevent corruption, maraudlng and
pillSglng by subordinate officers, but the din.
Guilty is to secure proper enforcement of their
orders.
1t Is impossible to prevent trade; it is eI-
cecdingly difficult, II not impossible, to regu-
late 1t, so long as It is allowed to be conducted
by private individuals.
Why not require, as ia insisted upon by Gen.
Banks, that all cotton and other staples within
our lines, and wherever our armies go, be pur-
chased by officers of the Government at price
fixed by proper authority, and then promptly
sold at auction, and hs proceeds placed in the
Treasury.
This would prevent all speculsting abuses
and give all fair traders an equal chance. It
would also give us large amount of additional
exports, and so reduce the price Of gold and
improve tho national credit.
