One of the Washin gton Family

The Point Lookout correspond
ent Of the Baltimore Americans
speaking of four hundred more
prisoners leaving that point for ext
change, thus notices one Of the
Washington family:
Among those who left in this
load was Augustus Washington, OF
Clark county, Virginia, a second
cousin of John A. Washington Of
IIarper's Ferry. Mr.. Washington
is very anxious to reach his home,
he having been wounded at the
battle of GottJ sburg, aud in such
q manuer as to unfit him for active
service. Mr.. Washington in leav.
ing he,e lett some warm personal
friends; and if he differed in his
political opinions from Others, he
at least deserves the credit OF being
a gentleman in his manners. ]
have frequently conversed with
him in regard to secession, and
find that he has the self-same idea
of Sla'es Rights that possesses
mott OF the soldiers from the OLE
Dominion, and believes that the
same spirit that caused ~the..heroe'
of '76 to follow the fortunes o
Washington. possesses the follow
ers of Jeff. Davis, and that thei
cause is az Just and holy.

WEEKLY SUMMARY.

The "On to Richmond move.
ment is in a fix. Lee will not allow
Grant to have it all his own way.
The Southern States have not yet
been subdaed. When will they be
brought under the power of Abra'
ham Lincoln ? "On to Richmond"
and even into Richmond, will hot
crush out the rebellion. IF Lee and
Johnstons armies could be crushed,
and entirely destroyed, the rcbel!il
on would be rendered weaker,
though not altogether harmless.
Butler has been defeated by
B%eaurcgard's army, or at least a
portion of it.
OF Sherman We hear bnt little,
lie, it is said, has gaincd a victory
aud is going on hopefully but II
may turn out that Johnston is gra
dually giving way TO him, to draw
him into'a series of traps.
The less of about eighty thou
sand men, including killed, wound
ed, missing, and prisoners, am
about twenty-five generals, includ
ing both armies, is u large sacrifice
offered tothe prince Of tho powe
of the air. in ten days. Will

. FOREIGN OFFICERS OPINION OF
THE BATTLE oFTHE WILDERNESS.

From the N. Y WORLDS Correspondence
An intelligent commissioned foreign OF.
Hcer who witnessed the battle Of the Wilder
ress throughous, and followed nttcntively
all our m oyemch;s without participating in
The fight. has made sts I. mcnts 10 me in re
gard 10 il which are Of considerable interest
inasmuch as they are the op;uionS Of a mill
tary man who apparently judged the allah
in an impartial and unbiased manner
While he thinks the position is en- the whole
hopeful for the Union arms, he states tha'
the publisher accounts have SO far been
highly colorcd beyond he truth as to thu
success Of Central Grart in the succession
of battles fougntwith Lee.
The officer to whom l have just allndet
says that the effect Of the bloody conflict h
has Just Witnessed may be summed upFin VI
! following manner: Preservation Of the battl
field by the Union forces; failure Of the Reb
els in driving them out oft; repulse Of th
Union forces whenever they ATTEMPTED to al
tact any Of the rebol inlrenchments; super
iorrity of tie rebel tactics GU the battle
field; voluntary withdrawal Of the rebols
All these elements taken into consideration
he arrives at the conel sion that the ret
els have moi been compelled to fall back b
reason of the Fl hitting; bnt jndg' ng fror
! the action in q military point Of view, I'll
! battle If the Wilderness may be called
drawn battle. He says also that the man
ner in which both parties were located II
clines him TO think that cur loss must b
far greater Than that Of the rebels.

THE LATE CAMPAIGN IN ARKANSAS

The Little Rock Correspondent of
the New York Times thus writes
"Gep. Steele reached Little Rock
on the ID. lie was closely followed
by the rebels to within fifteen or
twenty miles OF that City. His loss
in the engagement OF Saturday
could not have been less than six
or eight hundred men. On the
march he was compelled to aban
don several guns and a number of
wagons. Our entire loss, in men
and material, during this disastrous
campaign is very la.ge. Nor is that
the disaster most to DO approx
hended. In the various engage
ments. skirmiohes, &c, we have had
$500 men rendered (hors du CON-
lost twenty guns and at least eight
hundred wagons, with their teams
besides over one thousand stand Of
arms.
The position of affairs in Arkansas
is generally gloomy. Our army
somewhat defeatd, holds the vale!
of the Arkansas from Pine Bluff
to Fort Smith cy rather aprecariouI
tenure. The enemy were alread,
menacing Pine Bluffs when we left
being reported in force eight mile
from that post. No fears need b.
entertainer as to Col. Clayton snt
his com mand. lie will hold BIZ
own as CALAMITY as may be, aud i
is trusted will do so SUGGEST fully
That is the way the Union is being
restored.

lime and pootical prophet says, \
have nourished and brought up
children, and behold they have re
belled against me-"
Junius knows that human flesh
is cheap, and when it becomes a
burden, war is the very best and
quickest way of consuming it. We
have sent commissioners over the
At ante to kidnap the peasantry,
and thus bring tens OF thousands
to America, to make white slaves
of them. If Earl RUSSELL, Old
PAM, or old BoNY should complain.
we can tell them that we are gov.
erncd by the higher law of ncces'
eity."
Junius hints that our taxes are
somewhat heavy. I admit that he
is right, but as the people are AMI
mails, and made 10 bear heavy bur
dens, why should they not bear al
the burdens laid upon them pa
tiently, and if they cannot earn
enough to pay the taxes, and fine
bread, let them go forth ne othe
