We have been permitted to make the fol-
lowing extract from letter received by Judge
Smith of sBath, from his son at Memphis
Tenn, under date of April 30th:
" think military matters look much more
cheering in this immediate vicinity than for
twelve months before. The new commander
Gen. Washburn, is a man of energy, and has
gone 10 work with will. A large expedi-
ton has gone out after Forrest, and before
you get this you will learn whether it has been
success or failure. 1t has been organized
with promptness, energy and despatch. Ev-
cry body is looking TO the vicinity of Rich
mond with great interest. 1t is felt that upon
Gen. Grants success or failure the life of the
Republic hangs. Interests so mighty were
never committed TO the hands of man. But
have an abiding and cheerful faith that God
will assurediy prosper the cause of right and
Justice, and so believing, am content TO await
the result"
The expedition named in the foregoing was
a success; Forrest was whipped at Bolivar,
Tenn.

Methodist General Conference,

When that part of the quadrennial address
of the Bishop was read in the National Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church on
Thursday, which recommends the passage of
law that no STAKEHOLDER shall hereafter be
entitled TO admission into the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, it was hailed with the most I'M
bounded applause. The stronger anti-slavery
members of the body could scarcely tel
whether they were in the flesh or out of il.
while the whole body seemed TO feel that the
year OF Jubilee had come. The Rev. Bishop
was compelled 10 cease for considerable
time his reading, which pause was fully occu
pied by continued applause, and shouts O.
"Glory" "Hallelujah~ "Amen" &c. The
address was finally flushed, when it was pro-
posed to sing to "old Hundred" Praise God
from whom all blessings fiow," &c. A mo-
ton was then made to print five thousand
copies of the address. On this question an
opportunity was taken by the members of the
body for enjoying" as Dr. Hill, OF Erie, re
marked, 'the sunshine of the day." Great
and rapturous jnbilation was expressed on ac-
count of the change in national affairs, which,
in the providence of God has rendered this
proposed action OF the church possible. Stir
ring speeches were made by the Rev. S. Y.
Monroe, of New Jersey Rev. Colonel Moody,
OF Ohio; Rev. DR.. Kingsley, Of Erie; Rev. Mr..
Drummond, and great many others. Final
ly it was determined to print 10000 copies of
the address, for gratuitous circulation, and re-
quest Its publication in all the church pa

Operations of Gen. Bmtf.r.

FORTRESS MONROE, May II.
Steamer Hero, with 200 sick and wounded
men, has just arrived from Bermuda Hun
dreds. from which the following is derived:
Gen. Butler is intrenched from the Apo
mattox to the James River, distance of six
miles.
Gen. Beauregard was reinforced on Tuesday
night by two brigades from Lees army. This
statement seems impossible, unless Gen. Lee
is really retreating from his present position.
The James river was INSTRUCTED yesterday
afternoon by our forces near Turkey Bend, by
sinking number of schooners and barges.
This step efiectually blockades the rebel iron
ciads, and prevents them from coming out.
Our whole force moved up this morning
and are probably engaging the enemy at this
time.
No citizen is permitted to come within this
department without a special pass from the
Secretary of War. One hundred and seventy
prisoners, including three officers, arrived here
last night. They were taken at the recent
fight near Petersburg.

The OPERA.-Our readers will bear in
mind that the celebrated Opera, Faust, will be
performed Monday evening, at Deering Hail.
already won high reputation ia our large
cities where they have performed This opera
Is one of extraordinary power, and requires
for Its performance musicians of the first
order. This troupe is fully equal to the task
and our readers may expect such musical
banquet as they never sat down at in this city.
To give full expression TO all the passions and
sentiments of this opera demands the highest
powers of music. The Libretto is deeply in.
teresting. Faust, German student, becomes
sick OF the world and his own knowledge,
deeming both as mere nothingness. In this
sad state OF mind he appeals to the Evil One
who hears and appears to him, glad that he
has found SO good subject. Faust is anxious
70 penetrate the Arcana of Nature, and the
Devil readily assists him, rejuvenates him.
and gives him all the passions and beauty of
youth. He now enters on new career, and
the Evil Spirit reveals TO him a beauteous vii
lage maiden, whose charms entrance him. At
0Asb chC hsJCSto Dul through the influence
Of the Devil he succeeds in triumphing over
her virtue and ruins her. Her soldier brother
returns from the wars and learns the sad fate
of his sister. He challenges Faust and is
killed. The night of dispair settles upon her
soul, and she becomes demented aud is thrown
into prison. She dies, and the Devil rejoices
that he has one more human soul, but she re-
pents in season, and her spirit is borne by
angels to Heaven.
All this and much more is told by vocal and
instrumental music. The Boston papers speak
in the highest terms of this German troupe.
We shall give brief view OF the Libretto of
Der Freischutz Monday morning. 1t is a
splendid opera, and has never gone out Of
date, as good things never do.
Seats for the Opera are rapidly selling.
To-day the sale Of reserved seats for single
nights commences, and also of single tickets,
and we advise our readers to secure them in
season, for there will be rush. The tide is
now setting strongly towards Paine's Music
Store, where the tickets are sold.
