New YORK, May 24.-The Herald corres-
pondent with Butler May 22d, gives an ac-
count of the midnight assault by the rebels
the night previous. Our pickets received
the fire firmly and gradually fell back, when
the artillery opened upon the advancing
rebels with whitening discharges of grape
and canister. Siege guns and light bat
teries were brought to bear, and the rebels,
moved down like grass, still advanced, re-
ceiving another slaughterlng discharge,
ed, scattering death in all directions. The
gunboats on the Appamattox Joined in
shelling the woods, where the rebel reserves
were stationed. Finally the rebels finding
our forces so well prepared to receive them
withdrew, leaving their dead on the field,
numbering 1853. Our defenses were con-
structed by some OF our best engineers, and
are almost impregnable. .s -.

Gov. Seymour and the Seizure Of
the World and journal of Com.

merce.
New YORK, May 24.-Gov. Seymour's
letter to District Attorney Hall in relation
to the seizure of the World and Journal of
Commerce says: "It is charged that these
acts of violence were done without due
legal process and without the sanction of
State or National laws. If this be true the
offenders must be punished. If the owners
of the above named journals have violated
State or National laws, they must be pro-
ceeded against and punished by those laws.
Any action against them outside of legal
procedures is criminal"
The Governor argues the matter at some
length, and concludes: ain making your
inquiries, and in prosecuting the parties
implicated, you will call upon the sheriff of
the county and the head of the police de-
partment for any needed forces and assist
ance. Tie failure to give this by any Off
cial under my control will be deemed suffi-
cient cause for his removal"

Congressional Items.
Special to the Post.1

WASHINGTON, May 24-The attempt
which will be made in the Senate to strike
out the $500 exemption clause in the en-
rollment act, will probably fail in the
House. There is some prospect that Sena-
tor Wilson's proposition to draft men for a
single year will be adopted.
The Arkansas question assumes an i'm
portant phase. A Senator and Representa-
tive from that State are claiming admis-
sion to seats in Congress. Better news has
been received here from Little Rock within
a day or two.

Times Special

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Senate Mil
itary Committee, is considering PROPOSE
tions to allow the President to call out vol
unteers for less than three years; also to
repeal the $500 exemption clause.
In the District Supreme Court Judge
Wylie decided that Gold speculations are
contrary to public policy, and that plain
tiffs can neither recover profits made on
former contracts in hands of defendants, or
monies deposited with them as margin or
collateral, under contract for the purchase
of gold.

FREDERIcKsBURG, May 2l, 1864.

FREDERICKSBURG, May 81, 1864.
Coo. John Brouph:-DEAR SIR:-I wrote
you hasty note on the 10th, giving an ac-
count OF our doings up to that time. Since
then we have secured very convenient
room, on the corner of Williams and Adams
street as Ohio Headquarters, and put out q
sign by which we can be found. On yes
terday sent Mr.. Wetmore full list of the
Ohio killed and wounded, with the request
that he forward you a copy, my time
being wholly occupied with the care of
$50 wounded in hospital, many of them
but slightly, and will soon be out;
others are seriously wounded, but that
proportion. am happy to say, is SMALL
They are well cared for, having all the at
tention and comforts that it is possible to
give them. The boys are much gratified
with the effort you are making in their be-
half and our agency are doing more than
any other State, many of them having done
nothing. There is great difficulty in get
ting supplies from Belle Plains to Freder-
icksburg, distance of ten miles, the Gov
ernment requiring all the transportation
for the front. In the battle of yesterday
FRIDAY, there were about 1000 killed and
wounded, in which we shall have our pro-
portion. They will be in tonight and we
are now providing for them.
am happy to inform you that Ohio
troops have done nobly in the several bat
ties; the credit Of the State has been nobly
sustained. 1t is to be hoped that Govern
ment will succeed in opening the Kappa
hammock, that our wounded may be sent to
Washington more rapidly and with less
fatigue than by the present route. The
number of wounded now here varies from
nine to ten thousand. Every house is full,
including every public building in the city,
and we are wanting more room.
You can give assurance to the people of
our State that every effort is being made to
properly provide for, and administer to the
wants Of their friends in this CITY,
Yours very truly,
r. ID. HARRISON.

calls. The Government, however, claims

RAILROAD Recommendations arriv-
ing in the city last night over the Central
Ohio Railroad, reported that there had been
a collision on that road within ten miles of
Beilair, between a freight train and train
loaded with soldiers, by which one man
was killed and number wounded. Upon
inquiring at the railroad Office in this city,
we could gather no confirmation of the re-
port. A freight car was off the track near
Union Station, by which trains were delay
ed several hours.
An accident occurred on the Columbus,
Piqua and Indiana Railroad, occasioned by
the breaking down ofa bridge, but no furth-
er damage was done than the injury of a
couple Of cars and the detention of the bag
gage belonging to the train.

ABOLITION BRUTALITY TO THE NATIONAL
GUAEDs.-The National Guards of Ohio
have been smeared with the most disgust
ing flattery by the Abolition newspapers
and the Abolition politicians who recogniz-
ed in them the instruments by which their
own precious carcases were preserved from
the perils of the war. But the evidence
daily accumulates that after the Guards are
out of the State they ale treated most foully
and brutally. For the information of the
real friends of the National Guards of Ohio,
we reprint the following insulting para
graph from the Wheeling Intelligencer, an
Abolition paper:
Three members of the National Guard
of Ohio, recently called out by the Govern
or of that State, were brought up to this city
and committed to the Atheneum, having
refused to take the oath required of those
entering the United States service. Their
excuse Is that their officers have no right
to take them out of the State. They will
probably remain in the Atheneum week,
at the end of which time they will be quite
willing to take the oath and come out and
unless their religious principles are very
firmly fixed, which is not apt to be the case
with soldiers, they will take several oaths
before they come out for the Atheneum Is
about the least engaging establishment we
know Of to man who has been accustom-
ed to the free, fresh air.
This brutal and insulting paragraph is
paraded in the Abolition papers of Column
bus as an excellent "joke" on the militia,
and the same paper is perpetually putting
and blowing about sour noble Guards !"
1t is quite probable that the members of the
Guards "won't see the joke" Those three
men had a perfect right to decline taking
the oath required of them. The law under
which the National Guard was organized
gives the Governor no authority to order
them out of the State; and their right to
decline to enlist in the United States service
is one which no one has a right to question,
and no one but fool would doubt. The
Imprisonment of these three men, for exer-
cising that right, in a filthy Jail, with
thieves, robbers and rebels, and the publi-
cation of their unmerited disgrace in the
Abolition papers, is not calculated to en-
courage enlistments, either in the National
Guards, or any other branch of the service.
