Son to RichmOnd.'' -

On the first of May, one year ago, Hooker
crossed the Rapidan with 10000 men, and
the next day attacked Lee at Charlottesville.
At the same time Sedgwick, with 10000
troops, stormed the heights of Fredericks-
burg and captured them. And Stoneman,
with 10000 cavalry, rode post haste to with
in five miles of Richmond, doing little dam-
age, and then retreated down the peninsula
to Fortress Monroe. Averill, with 5000 cav
airy, marched out few miles, dismcunted,
and did nothing. Hooker fought hard
battle, lost it, and retreated. Sedgwick was
attacked by Lee and driven across the Kappa
hammock with great loss.
Such in brief are the melancholy facts of
that movement Grant, by a curious coinci-
dence, leads the same army, reinforced, across
the same fords of the Rapidan in search of
the same foe led by the same General. He
has already met the enemy and driven him
back with terrible slaughter. While Grant
is pressing towards Richmond from the
North, Butler is advancing upon it from the
South, and Sigel is moving up the Stenan-
doah to sever Lees communications with
Lynchburg. These movements indicate the
outlines of far more powerful and better
concerted campaign than any yet planned
for throttling the power Of the rebellion in its
stronghold, and promise the speedy downfall
Of the rebel capital. God grant that it may

A SLIGHTLY SELF. IMPORTANT YOUNG LADY

A SLIGHTLY SELF-IMPoRrANT YOUNG LADY.
Miss Anna E. Dickinson is rather overdo-
ing the thing. She commenced we'll, but
has BEEN spoiled by flattery. She is now
engaged in making fool of herself as, for
example: She lectured in Boston Wednesday
night, and was very severe on the Admins
tration, and especially on the President She
caricatured his person and dress, and gave
this account of her interview with him, as a
Boston paper reports her:
He said to her, "They tell me you are on
my side. Iwant to know how it is." She
told him what was in her thoughts, and plead
for justice for the negro. The President an
swered her with, "That reminds me of a little
story" 81 didn't come here to hear Stories"
replied the maiden fair, but irate. II can
read better ones IN the papers any day than
you can tell me-" This shut the tall joker
up. He showed her his correspondence with
Banks, and that's how she knew Banks acted
under orders of the Government. Mr.. Lin
coin asked her what she thought of the plan
of reconstruction in louisiana. She replied,
''Sir, think it all wrong; as radically bad
as can be-" The President then palavered
her-"sugar plummed her." to use Miss D. s
own phrase-telling her she could talk bet
ter than he, and SO forth; and he remarked,
in concluding the conversation, "All can
say is, if the radicals want me to lead, let
them get out of the way and let me lead."-
"When he said that" said Miss D., 81 came
out and remarked to friend, Il have spoken
my last word to President Lincoln"

TIE DUBUQUE SHiP CANAL CONTENTION
This Convention met at Dubuque last week,
and was rather slimly attended. The interest
in this project had abated considerably after
the call was issued, from the fact the bill be-
fore Congress has been postponed till next
session.
We copy the following summary of the
doings of the Convention: i.
The only business of importance transact.
ed was the adoption of resolutions strongly
urging canal communication between the
Mississippi and the Lakes for convenience in
time of war, and for the cheaper transporta-
ton of produce at the same time stating
that while the Convention would not object
to see the construction of ship canal from
LaSalle to the Mississippi river, duty to the
great bread producing States of the North
west demands a Government appropriation
for the enlargement of the Fox and Wiscon-
sin rivers improvement for the cheap carry
ing Of its produce to all the Atlantic and Eu-
ropean markets also that the Improvement
of the Upper and Lower Rapids of the Miss
lssippi by the canal is proper counterpart
of canal to the Lakes, and is necessarily de-
manded for the good of the nation. 1
An Executive Committee, who were in
structed to prepare a report for public circu-
latop, and a memorial to Congress, was ap-
pointed. The Executive Committee were in
structed to ask for Government survey for
the proposed canal. eo{

Der of immigrants that may be expected at
that port during the current year. There is
great excitement on this subject all through
Europe. Villages, and even whole counties
in England and Ireland will be emptled Of
their able-bodied industrial population. Up
on this subject, the Journal of Commerce
says: a.s-. .rD
Within the last two months, the excite
ment on the subject has been intensified by
the arrival of scores Of agents in Ireland and
England from this country, sent out to en-
gage factory hands, farmers, mechanics, and
laborers of every description at prices which
must be irresistibly tempting to the poorly
requited peasants and drudges of the old
country. The dissemination of pamphlets
and circulars, and the publication of articles
from American newspapers by Irish journals
friendly to this country, have also swelled
the tide. Such is the unprecedented demand
for passages to this country for the next two
months, that we understand that the packet
lines here are selling no tickets for the hithel
voyage to be used before the 1st of July
next It is pleasant to be able to state tha
the class of emigrants who are coming out
are very superior, the majority Of them be-
ing small farmers or mechanics, who bring
property with them, and are industrious
frugal, sober people.

Will the Democrat Please Notice =
In Thursdays issue of the Davenport
Democrat, we find leader made up from the
Washington correspondence of the New York
World, from which we make the following
extract .-....
General Grant is understood to have ad-
mitted, while satisfied with the number and
material Of his army, he is uneasy respecting
the morale. He returned to Washington on
Monday, therefore, with a peremptory de-
mand for the services of General McClellan in
the forthcoming campaign, and refuses to
move his army until his demands are com
pied with. He is also very urgent that Fre-
mont be assigned to duty. These facts are
admitted by Lincoln's adherents, and here
we have the reason why, with splendid roads,
no movement is made.
How much truth there is in the statement
may be inferred from our dispatches yester-
day, informing the country, that our army
had crossed the Rapidan and Lee retreatlng.
The army HAS moved, Mcclellan has not
been assigned to duty, the correspondent Of
the World LIED, and the Democrat was SOLD.
| Is not that so, Dick
