A SWARM OF BUGs.-The air in and about Ga
lena has to-day been literally alive with chinch
bugs. As we write We can see from our window
millions Of them circling about In the air, and
many of them are crawling over our table and
on the Office floor. The bridges across GAlena
river are covered with them. They are crawling
in the streets, on tho sidewalks, on the walls Of
houses, aud on the clothes Of people walking the
streets. We met several fair ladies to-day who
were picking them out of their hair. The lice
Of Egypt bore no comparison to them. They
have ruined the fields Of grain, aud ore now
bunting for other plunder. IL they continue to
increase, this productive region Of eeuntry will
be no better than desert--GGleRd (iH,) Ga

of the refusal of the exchange agent of prison
ers to recognize Butler, the Federals placed
him in command of the Army of the Potomac
and had battle with Gen. Lee, and that Lee
had whipped him worse than at any time since
the commencement of the war. From the
same source we learn that Gen. Sherman found
10. Johnston, and that he met tGFtdr-John-
ston completely routing him, and capturing
great many prisoners. Tho fight commenced
