General Lee.

The Army correspondent of the r edmond Dispatch
writing from the army Of Northern Virginia. under
date OF May 7tb in giving detailed account OF the
Battle of the WilderDess, relates an incident in con-
nection with Gen Lee that is worthy Of c0mmemnra-
ton. During the progress of the battle being over
powered ov numbers, Wilco1s ard Heath's divisions
viii ich bad done so well the evening before, were
thrown into confusion and gave way. just Kersbaw
doubleq1icked it to the front in column. The latter
succeeded in throwing three regiments Of his old br
gade commanded by COL Hinnegan, isto line while
Wilcox's aud Heth's men were falling back over his
troops, and with this small but heroic band be cor
fronted the heavy masses of the enemy now flushed
With the hope of easy victory and pressing rapidly
forward. These regiments suffered severely, but they
maintained their ground until the remainder of the
division could be got into some sort of line under the
terrible fire to which it was exposed. 81 Lee wit
messed the unfortunate and unexpected confusion and
withdrawal OF the divisions of Wilcox and Heth in
both OF which be had reposed so much confidence, and
which had behaved go handsomely former occasions
and tears rushed into his eyes. He at once placed
himself at the head OF Greggs Texan brigade Fields
division, formerly Hoods and prepared to lead it n

the circuit of the Conf daracy under Long street, re-
monstrated against such unnecessary exposure of

federacy and to all friends OF liberty tbroug hout the
world. He replied that he must win the battle at
every hazird--that he must whip the fight. The
rexans who had not yet moved from their tracks,
answered that they could whip the fight without his
leading them and wou do it. In tie meantime ap-
peals made by several officers to Longstreet the

Financial.

The following is the Financial" article
of Saturdays S. +. Argus:
The condition of the money market this
week differs in no material respect from that
of the past month. Continued ease seems to
prevail, and we can learn of no pressure in
commercial circles, or in other quarters,
where the requirement is based upon legiti-
mate business transactions. 1t was thought,
some time since, by the closest and most in
telligent observers Of the condition Of affairs,
that ere this, stringency would soon show
itself in an increased demand for accomoda-
ton in bank and from capitalists generally,
but thus far there has been no appearance Of
any unusual tightness. On the contrary,
capital is rather more abundant, and the dis
count line of the bankers is no larger than
it was months ago. There has been no con-
traction, and the regular business Of the
moneyed institutions of San Francisco, SO
far as we can learn, have undergone no
change, nor is any at present contemplated.
The settlement Of the currency question has
given more confidence to money lenders,
most Of whom have an abiding faith in the
future prosperity and present substantial
character of the interests Of this city.
Rates in bank, for good short paper, rule as
formerly-l1 per cent. per month; and stock
collateral loans can be effected, at the same
figures, to limited extent, where the parties
borrowing are well known. Outside loans
take wider range, and may be quoted at 2
to per cent. per month.
Legal Tender Notes have been extensively
dealt in by the brokers, at rates ranging from
45i to 46s, and closing at about 45ll, seller 80.
Some 800, 900 have been sold at these rates.

The s. F. Argus ofSaturday, gives the fol-
lowing review Of the Mining Stock Market
for the past weeks
The Mining Share Market has been active
during the week, and the sales have been
fairly distributed throughout the entire list.
A number Of speculative shares have revived
and advanced moderately.
Gould & Curry rose from 81 ,230 to 81, 280,
declined to 81, $50, advanced to 81 200, and
receded at the close to 81, l35-some SO feet
changing hands at these rates. No favorable
change has taken place in the character Of
this mine, and the development Of the drifts
from the lower shafts is steadily progressing.
Savage was severely hammered by the
bears" and receded from 81 300 to 81, 120,
seller 60, but recovered at the close to 81 ,225
bid, so feet were sold. G
to S725, asked. Belcher is held at $500.
Yellow Jacket at $40.
Ophir is in much less favor, and has de-
clined from $3.50 to 1925. % feet have
changed hands within this range.
Chollar is firmly held at the close $3.50 bid,
seller 80. 20 feet were sold during the week
at from $3.50 to $3.50. Every portion of this
mine continues to improve. d.. u
Imperial fell from $l43 to $l37, and rose
to $l424-l0O shares changing hands. The
regular monthly dividends Of this mine are
to be increased to SD per share.
Wide West has been very actively dealt in,
declining from $35 to $50, and closing at
about $26. 100 shares were sold.
Burning Moscow has gradually risen from
$40 to $2S and $29, at which rates sales were
made last evening. .....
Nevada J. G. advanced from $50 to 1872,
and is now held with some frmness at about
$50.
Baltic is also in more favor, and rose from
SIG to 1923, declining to Sl7, and rallying to
1923.

PULvERIsING OREs.-Mr. Charles PEN
gilly, has Professionally specified an invention,
which consists in having system Of conical,
tapering, or partly conical or partly tapering,
crushing rollers, the largest diameter Of these
rollers to be at the bottom or exit end, in
order that the open spaces between the roll
ers may be larger at the top or entrance place,
where the stuff to be crushed is first intro
duced (of large reduced size), and may grad
ually decrease in size till at the bottom, or
exit; the rollers may be so close together
that nothing but very fine particles can pass
through, although the extent to which the
opening shall be contracted must depend. of
course, upon the tineness Of the pulverising
required. The pulverised material will pass
through at the bottom or exit place, and can
be from time to time removed therefrom.
The rollers are intended to be corrugated in
slanting lines or otherwise, and the slant of
the corrugations of one roller should cross
those of the rollers working against it, as
thus, X, whereby greater reducing power will
be obtained; but near the bottom the rollers
should, in many cases, be perfectly plain, and
free from corrugations. i

GRANTS INvEsTMENT.-The importance
of Grants seizure and control Of a portion of
the Weldon Railroad begins to become appa-
rent. 1t has forced the Rebels to the neces-
sity Of obtaining their supplies by rounda-
bout Journey BY Dinwiddie Court House,
using FIVE or six hundred wagons in exchange
for the free use of the railroad heretofore in
their possession. This accounts for the
strong demonstration mad5 by Lee along the
line Of the road heretofore spoken of, which
many interpreted as indicative of n determin-
alton on the part Of the Rebel General to
give battle in order to regain possession Of
that supply line. There is for him but one
other line over which supplies fer his large
forces about Richmond and Petersburg can
be had. The road through the Shenandoah
Valley, and extending between the mountain
ranges towards Tennessee, can do him but
little good. He still commands the Danyille
road but the probabilities are that supplies
by that route have been pretty much exhaust
ed. Grants siege is gradually operating as
il his army surrounded the rebel cities, and
as one by one he cuts off the resources, hun
ger will do what it did at Vicksburg. Rebel
organs may affect indifference, but the fact
cannot be gainsaid that the shoe already
pinches, and their brayado is only the whist
ling of the boy passing the graveyard. When
Winter shall have fairly set in, with its rains
and Virginia mud, the question arises-How
are his thousands Of soldiers, and the many
thousands of civilians in and about the two
rebel cities and adjacent county, to get their
rations? All the grain of the farmers is be-
ing seized, leaving not even seed for the
farmers for next year, as if the rebel leaders
are convinced that the present is their last
campaign. Next year, with no seed for the
soil, there can be no crops for the troops and
the people. And thus, though slowly, the
inevitable result and end approach. Poor
Virginia How dearly are her people pay
ing for the hallucination which flung away
peace and prosperity in the pursuit Of a chi
mera, an insane worship Of the ebony god

"LrrrrL MAC" AS AN INFAST.-This
wonderful being has not astonished the world
by his military achievements and failures
alone, he was prodigy" from his birth.
Here is what the Washington Chronicle says
Of the astonishing circumstances which at
tended his introduction to the Democratic
party: "a son was born to our professor
1.-THE father Of "littul mac" and the event
scarcely transpired before the father announe-
ed it to his delightful pupils. Scales were
instantly brought from a neighboring grocer.
Into one dish he placed the babe, into the
other all the weights. The beam was raised,
but the child moved not The father empty
ing his pockets, threw in his watch, coin,
keys, knives and lancets, but to no purpose
the little hero could not be moved. At
last, while adding more and more weight, the
cord supporting the beam gave way and broke,
rather than the giant infant would yield.
His recollection Of this incident doubtless
induced littul mac to keep of the trial
train when it passed over certain railroad
bridge which he built, and it is why two plat
forms are required TO support the "giant."

Jrsr So.-The Piae says: " Yes, thank
Heaven, there are men hourly coming to
light, who, amid all the darkness of the
times, have remained true to the principles
of the Constitution and the welfare Of the
Government-men whose great, throbbing
hearts have not grown black BY the smoke
Of fratricidal gunpowder, and the CLEAN Of
bristling and bloody bayonets, nor become
imbruted with the scent of human blood
and that their own mediterranean whose
large, patriotic hearts loom up, like pillars
of FIRE, and who are destined to lead and
guide US over and through this desolate
waste Of war, carnage and devastation, with
honor to the whole country. Among them,
and eminently chief, are Geo. B. Mcclellan
and Geo. H. Pendleton.
That's so-especially about little Mac.
His great thrObbing heart, has taken good
care to keep away from the powder smoke,
the bristling bayonets and all that sort of
thing, and the smell of his brothers blood
has never offended his delicate nostrils,
and never will if he can help it.

NEW CIRCUs.-Thc Yreka Journal gives
the following very appropriate and sharp no
tice of the consolidated circus troupe which
is now on the boards for exhibition. 1t says:
The Great Democratic Circus Troupe, hay
ing been recognized at Chicago, will per-
form every afternoon and evening, at the
usual hour, until November. Vallandigham
is Ringmaster, and Seymour and Wood,
Clowns. Mcclellan will appear in his great
Double Equestrian Act, Of riding the two
horses, Peace and War Democracy, while
they go round the ring in different directions.
At the crack of the Ringmaster's whip, Little
Mac will turn somersault and "change his
base" from one horse to the other, with such
rapidity that it will be impossible for the
spectators to tell which of them he is riding.
A portion of the troupe is at present in Rich
mond, but as the city will soon be occupied
by Yankees, who can't appreciate their tai
ents, the performers will be sent North, to
add the thrilling attraction of a tight-rope
performance to the bill already presented"
