A friend wishes to know if the President
in stating that he had been under the ne
cessity of laying strong hand on the col
ored clement" did not mean to say, clay
ing hand on the strong colored ele-
ment"
In view of the suffering condition of the
freedmen, it is reasonable to infer that the
hand which Mr.. Lincoln says he laid upon
the colored element" must have been a
heavy one.
The Minnesota Democratic State Central
committee have issued call for conven-
ton to be held at St. Paul, on the 25th of
May, for the purpose of electing six dele
gates to the Chicago convention.
The Boston Journal says: "It is said
that Fremont has expressed a determine
ton to run for the Presidency if Lincoln is
the candidate of the Union convention, but
not if any other candidate is brought for
ward.
The Washington Republican contains the
announcement of the death of woman
employed in the Treasury Department,
said to have been produced by abortion.
The medicines were obtained in New York.

The Confederate Official Report
Of the Late Disaster on Red
RiVer--A Terrible Route.

The Vicksburg correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican writes as follows:
"The rebel General Kirby Smith reports
the defeat of General Banks as complete.
They officially claim to have taken four thou
sand prisoners; two thousand five hundred
wounded eight thousand stand of arms;
two thousand and odd mules two hundred
and fifty wagons: nine hundred barrels of
-four and thirty five pieces of cannon.
''The gun-boats are still above the rapids
and unable to get down. 1t is to be hoped
that they will not be captured or burned.
"SPECTATOR.
Yet this terrible defeat-one of the worst
in its results of the whole war-was repre-
sented at first as victory, and many of our
Abolition cotemporaries were in ecstacies
over it.

The Fight at SpOttsyiyania--EiG-
teen Thousand OF 'OurNOundesi
at Fredericksburg.

WASHINGTON, May lO.-The ,Star says
a messenger got in last night from the army,
who left Spottsylvania yesterday, and came
on horseback to Aqua creek, and then came
here on gunboat. At II O. clock the fight
was going on at Spottsylvania Courthouse
We held the place at that hour, and Lee
gave evidence of being weakened and fall
ing back. The messenger had an escort Of
100 cavalry, and as guerrillasw were frequent
~ encountered ON the way it is not improb-
able that many of the escort were captured
when returning to the army.
Our wounded are reported to be Is, 900,
most of whom are at Fredericksburg and
so thick that they are lying in the streets
and upon the paveinents. n cavalry patrol
ordered out could not do duty, as it was diff
ficult to pass between the rows Of wounded
without treading on them. 1t is said there
are between 1000 and 5000 rebel wounded
there also, whe were left upon the field.
WASHINGTON, May IO.-A messenger
from Spottsylvania Court House yesterday
morning states that Hancock was compelled
to retire on the Spottsylvania road until he
was joined by Burnside, when he held his
ground.
On Sunday morning the battle was re-
newed, and we drove the rebels to Poe riv-
cI. VII tHc III llit WnOle ullllN WdSTttItdl-
ing and by night had been driven in every
direction. This morning we put artillery
into play, and when our messenger left,
heavy cannonading was going on. We be-
lieye Lee will make stand on North Anna
river. In the three days operations we
captured about 1900 prisoners and lost
about II, 900 killed, wounded and pi isoners
PHILADELPHIA, May lO-A special to
the Inquirer, dated Washington last night,
says: Meade again moved on the enemy and
had a brisk fight at Todd's Tavern, just
north Of Poe river. BY night the rebels
were rctreating on three roads south towarc
Richmond. On Sunday the rebels attemp
ted to make another stand, but Meade at
tackled them. Dispatches tonight confirm
their retreat to North Anna river The reb
els succeeded in getting off most of thei,
wounded up to Saturday night. The col
ored troops were not put into the fight bu
held as reserves with Burnside. We lost
pieces Of artillery altogether. The Bullctr
has received the following special from
Washington: Gems. Warren and Hancock
are in close pursuit of the enemy. The
rebels have been driven from Spottsylvania
Court House towards Cane river. Advices
from Richmond represent that great distress
and wild disorder prevail there.

PATRIOTIC DRINKING.-A 'loyall' man
came to town the other day, got a little
heavy about the head, and fearing he might
be suspected of drinking too freely, apollo
gised to crowd of by-standers in the follow
ing eloquent and patriotic language:
''Now AK you fellers who's the best citi-
zen, him as supports Government, or him
as doesn't? Why him as does, in course.
Isupports Government, fellers-every man
as drinks supports Government. That is if
he drinks taxed lickers. Every blessed drop
of ticker he swallers is taxed to pay the sal
aries of them big officers at Washington and
support the war. Spose all was to quit a
drinking, why the war must stop and the
Government fall-it couldn' help it no how.
That's the Very reason / drinks. | don't
like grog-I mortally hates it. fl follored
my own inclernation, I'd rather drink but
termilk, or ginger pop, or soda-water. But
lickers for the good of my country, to set
an example of loyalty wirtuous selfdenial
10 the rising generation.

Little Washington.

Little Washington, North Carolina, was
destroyed by fire, after its evacuation by
the Federal forces, ,-one report ascribing
the incendiarism to struggling soldiers, and
another stating that the perpetrators were
probably gucrrillas The town was main
ly owned by Unionists, who were left, with
out food or shelter, to the mcrcies of the
rebels. There is intense Indignation against
General BUTLER among the Union men of
North Carolina, who have sent delegation
to Washington to petition for his removal.

TAxEs.-There is a large crop of taxes
this year, in fact taxes are about the only
crop left to be collected by the Administra-
tion, There is no use of this generation
growing about tax burdens, in view of the
Affections which lie in wait for posterity
Sidney Smith-the witty Smith, formerly
of England-once fred off in jest predic-
tion of the possible extent of taxation in the
United States in case of war, but his pre-
diction is sorry jest to be read at this day.
We do not propose homily on taxation,
and will therefore say, what we intended to
do in the beginning, that Il. B. RAIFF,
County Treasurer, has received his books,
and is now ready to collect the June taxes.

the Enemy under Beauregard

BERMCDA LANDING, Va, VIA FORTRESS
MONROE, May lO.--Fighting commenced
yesterday noon, and continued until night,
between Hickman's brigade and several
other brigades under Gen. Smith. Beau
regard commanded in person. During the
fight our forces drove the enemy back 3
miles, nearly to Petersburg. Gen. Kuntz
subsequently succeeded in destroying some
portion Of the Petersburg and Weldon rail-
road at Hicks Ford, and capturing many
rebel prisoners.

Important from cen. sherman

WATHNGTON, May ~.
10 Gco. Dic.--A dispatch from General
Sherman, received at midnight, states that
we are fighting for the possession Of Rocky
Face Ridge, and that Mcpherson took Snake
Creek Gap, and was seven miles from Res
cca this morning On Saturday the rebels
we're forced from Tunnel Hill by Thomas
and took position at Buzzard Root, Just
north Of Dalton. This is represented as a
very strong position, from which Thomas
was unable to drive the enemy on a former
occasion. Rescca is on the railroad, about
fifteen miles south Of Baltn. This will
place Mcpherson, with strong corps, inthe
cncmy's rear, while Thomas advances upon
the front and Schofeld crosses on the flank
from Cleveland. Probably great battle was
fought on that line yesterday, and may now
be in progress, nothing since my last has
been received from Grant or Butler.
