We have received . copy Of the London
aqrddrd containing one of the Infamous let.
ters Of tho New York correspondent of thit
paper, Manhattan . dated Dune 10. Il WIN
be seen from, the extracts VIC give below that
this foul writer piled up fslschoods mountaiis
high 70 tho last off career; u rrnis'
Bare ss we arc of all detailed reports VIC now
know that up TO this moment, from the time
when Grant crossed the Kspidan, he has not
gained single victory. TiAll is false. At this
moment We know that Lee IA s'moro powerful
than ever, attacking us whenever Il suits him
TO do so, and that our situation Ia very eritl-
cal one. Every hour soldiers sfe sent 20 Grant
10 trg and relnforcci him. On the 4th OF June
We Lost II, 600 msp.a At least 100000, or per-
haps l20 900, have been Loaf sipce Grant COM
rnauded. The wounded are everywhere, and
now II Grant can send them 10 boats thousands
OF wounded will be- forwarded 70 New York.
The carnage is awful, and the wounded are
said 70 be frightfpl- looking objects. Tho
southern soldiers takesure alm, and they prove
TO be msrksmen. Two-thirds or our killed are
shot through the head or heart. The faces Of
those not killed are mangledy and shsttered.
While we have bad news in one quarter all
the time, we have good In another. Gen. Hun
tor, who was 90 famed at Charleston as hum
bug, took poor slgel,s place. Hegot 1t through
Charley Dana, e1-edlior Of the 7fibaas, one Of
thirty three Assistant Secretaries OF War ap-
pointed by Stanton, and distributed generaliy

Now, this isra truthful account OF a peanut
battle. Wait until Gem Lee hears OF this, and
take my head for q football if,- within q few
days, Hunter Is not attacked near staunton,
and set running in such q manner that he and
Miles O'Reilly will NOT stop until they reach

here is specimen of his speeulations upon

scamp. Cochrsnewas, behave, apprenticed TO
q shoemakers but did not know enough 20 learn
the trade, and went with his uncle, who was a
lawyer. II VIII be q race between these two
precious fellows which shall sell out first.
Cochrane wns false to Van Buren, false 10 the
Democracy, false TO Lincoln and now be will
be false TO the ClevelaDd Convention. The
hope OF getting the Democracy may keep Fre-
int'ni In Ihej held. % Now, you ask, what will
the Demo ooraay do That party will at once
postpone It's convention, that was 10 be held at
Chicago 4th July, to the last of August. Il is
crazy III does not do II. Three months hence
is time enough for the election, and gives time
for the parry " calculate all the chances. o.
II Grant IL driven In npon Washington, and
should lose his army this summer, the public
sympathies will be with him much stronger
than for Mcclellan, and his nomin stiou might
unite the Democratic party, and though its
chances are really desperate, yet such a nomi-
nation would aid in electlng Democratic Gov
ernors aud Congressman. One condition OF
tho unanimous nomination Of Uncle Abraham
was, that he should get rid Of his present Cabi-
net. This hewill certainly do, and In speedy
mannery rywithout reference TO the fact of victory
or defeat for, Grant. The defeat Of the armies
