RUTLAND HERALD.
TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1854.
Second Edition.

We would announce to the public that
we have made arrangements with the
Telegraph Company for the reception of
Forenoon Dispatches, in addition to our
regular Night Report, and that we pro-
pose for the present to issue SECOND
EDITION of the DAILY HERALD in season
for the trains leaving Rutland at about
noon This edition will contain all the
Geographic news of the morning HRRALD,
and also the dispatches received during
the forenoon and up to the hour of going
to press. Terms the same as for the
Morning Edition. Orders solicited.
The NEws.-Among the numerous re-
ports flying over the wires, the follow
ing at least can now be relied upon
Lee was completely foiled in his attempt
to hurl his entire force upon portion
of our army before the whole was well
over the river and prepared to receive
him. Upon this customary movement
of his he evidently counted as usual for
success. He was this time wofully disap-
pointed. In Fridays battle he was so
far defeated as to render a renewal of
battle on Saturday undesirable, and re-
treated. So much alone is glorious
beginning of the campaign and augurs
most fayorably for the end. We have
happily general who knows how to
follow up an enemy retreating after bat
tie.
Gen. Butler deceived the enemy by
making feint as if about TO take his
army to West Point and SO over the old
route to Richmond, and then surprising
them by effecting landing at City
Point on the south side of the James,
He has been fighting the rebels, and
it is said official dispatches announce
that he has whipped them and cut the
Petersburg and Richmond railroad
We are without further reliable partic
ulars, at the time of writing, of opera
tions at the West, but the reports from
all quarters continue of the most cheer
ing character.
The campaign has already reached a
paint to insure its being pushed on to
speedy, and we all devoutly trust, glo-
rious issue,

Speech of Admiral Lesoffsky.

This commander of the Russian fleet now
in our waters, made neat speech at BAN
quet given in Boston, in honor OF the officers
of the fleet. We make the following extract:
"Mr. Mayor and conference.-the mayor
has just told me to say few words. l am
not q speaker, and am afraid to speak be-
cause want to give vent to the feelings of
gratitude which feel in common with my
brother officers. This week has been week
full of events; / mean of events for our feel
ings. We have experienced tho most cordial
hospitality Of you. gentlemen. We have been
introduced to those of yonr institutions,
whose philnathrophy soothes the sufferings
of mankind. These are the most thrilling
sensations. We have been introduced into
your schools where yon prepare citizens to be
your statesmen, and to be your defenders in
the hour of trial. Applause. We have
received so many tokens of your friendship
from you, that think this intelligence will
be heard by you with feelings of pleasure,
when l tell you that since emancipation has
been proclaimed by his majesty, the emperor,
not less than four thousand schools have been
established by the people themselves. Ap-
plause. These serfs. who, l regret TO say
were short time ago but little more than
beasts of burden, have made of themselves
without support from the government, four
thousand schools. Now, gentlemen, cannot
better illustrate the feelings with which we
are animated toward you, than to repeat to
you a scene of which have been witness
day before yesterday, when went on board
my flagship, the Alexander Nevesky, at New
York, which is about to leave for Europe.
The officers were at dinner party-in our
own family. There was not a single Ameri-
can among ms, and, among the toasts propos-
ed, prominent one was toast OF gratitude
10 the Americans and wish for the prosperi-
~ of your country. That family was we
who have experienced your hospitality and
good wishes, for which we are most truly
grateful. Applause.
