Destruction Of Madison Court
House.

WASHINGTON, May 2, 1864.
The expedition which was sent out from
here last week destroyed Madison Court
House.
The expedition met no rebels until about
half mile from the Court House, when
slight skirmish took place, IN which the
rebel loss was five and ours none.
The rebels retreated 10 the direction OF
the Court House. -.E
The rebels suddenly disappeared, button
our forces entering the town they were re
ceived with volleys Of musketry, hred
from the windows of houses, and were com
pelled for time to withdraw.
The officers Of the feconnoitering party
ordered another advance, when again a
destructive fire was poured In from the
houses.
The being no other way Of smoking out
the rebels orders were issued that the town
should be fred
The torch was applied to number OF
houses affording cover for the enemy, where
upon the latter hastily deesmped, leaving
our forces in possession OF the place.
The flames, however, spread very RAPIDLY
and there being no means at hand whereby
they could be checked q general con1sgra-
tion was the result, and in a short time
almest the entire town was In ashes. - $.
The act was certainly not wanton -one
on the part of the Union forces; but was
rendered necessary BY the dastardly act
of the rebels; who used the shelter OF the
houses for the purpose of slaughtering our
! troops. .-f.

IMMoRaLIrY in THE Treasury DEPARf-

of Congress have used the Department IS .
sort of asylum for their female friends,
whom they take on to Washington during
the session to see the lions of the capital.
1t was stated, when Mr. Chase began TO

! frHE IMPENDING Battle IN GEORGIA.
The following is from the Eraminsr OF
the Goth: t'e' 80
We have again rumors Of an impending
battle on the Georgia and Tennessee lines.
The opinion appears to be that the enemy is
to make . grand effort in that quarter but
while there is much stronger evidence that
the effort is to be made in the direction OF
Richmond, it must be recollected that the
theory by no means excludes the probabii-
ity that an important issue is to be tried in
Northern Georgia. TIE enemy has no ar
my there which il formidable in numbers
and discipline. It possesses one great ad-
vantage, which the enemy has not in Vir,
ginis-the impregnable forti6cations OF
o Ohsttanooga upon which to fall back in case
of disaster. The state Of preparation OF
the army in Gen. Johuson's front, the re
moval of great body Of troops from Knox
Vile and Cleveland to Chattanooga, and the
facility with which reinforcements can be
thrown from Tennessee and Kentucky, warn
rs that We need not be surprised at any
time to hear that an earnest attempt is
being made to break our lines at Dalton,
and that grand battle is going on

THE SIDEwALKs.-In city Of "mag-
ni6cent distance" like ours, we are
aware that it is impossible to keep
the walks at all times and in all pla-
ces in an entirely comely, safe and
comfortable condition, but we arc by
no means prepared to accept the
proposition which seems to be in pro-
cess of demonstration within our
boundaries, that because our limits
are limitless, our passage ways must
be TO great extent impossible. If
our ways are ways of pleasantness tits
not necessary therefore that all our
paths be in pieces, nor our walks so
immoderately holey. If she individ-
ual mentioned in scripture who "lead
the blind by a way they know not,
make darkness light before them,
crooked things straight" &C., or any
of his successors in office should at
tempt TO thread the labyrinth Of some
Of our principal streets of dark
night-and by the way we have a
preparation Of darkness in this elysiu-
mic valley so intense that coal makes
a white mark on the objects it envel-
ops without a lantern, against driv-
ing rain, among the excavations, ele-
vations and depressions incident to the
interminable improvements of a
public and private character going
on all about, he would be con-
WINGED that neither tho ruins of old
Damascus nor any other Of the ancient
cities presented half the impediments
to pedestrians under difficulties to be
met with in this tfe modernest of all
modern towns.
Seriously, the condition Of the side
walks in many quarters of the city
particularly on some portions of Wash
ington street, is dangerous, Disagree
able, abominable, outrageous, bad
and it is the duty of the authorities to
see that they are put in repair with
out delay.
