A Few Things to Remember.

1t is well known that the New England
States, those that have filed their quota at
all, have done so by enlisting negroes and
tern States. By this means they keep up
their manufactures and have plenty Of me
chanics and agricultural laborers. They
are in prosperous condition, and they are
making immense sums Of money both di-
rectly and indirectly out Of the war.
The Western States have all filled their
quota. Ohio was little short two weeks
ago, but it has since been filed up by the
draft. The Western States being mostly
devoted to agriculture, and at this season
of the year requiring vast number Of Ia
borers, are more heavily drawn upon whcr
they fill their quota by honestly furnishing
the men from their midst, than the Ncy
England States would be to do the same.
In view of these undcniabc facts, was
not a most infamous outrage for the Gov
ernors of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa
to furnish S5, 900 men when they were nc
asked for or accepted by General GRANT
and only accepted by LINCOLN because h
was too timid and cowardly to tell those OF
iicious Governors to go and attend to thoi
own business,
Governor BRoUGus friends now claim
that he was dragooned into getting the mel
into the service by the regimental and com
pany officers, who were constantly tender
ing their men and importuning their accep
tance BE this as it may, it is certain the
officers are feathcrng their nests, while the
privatcs are torn from their homes at tri
fling wages and their property suffered tc
go to loss

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE roTo-
MAC, May l3, The Army of the Potomac
has achieved the greatest victory of the war
after some of the severest fighting ever re-
corded in history. The battle yesterday is
acknowledged to be the heaviest of all, las
ting from daylight till after dark. 1t was
renewed about . p. NJ, and continuing till
nearly 3 A. NJ; both parties contcnding
during the night for the possession of
line Of rite-pits, from which our men had
driven the enemy in the morning, and skir-
mishing is now going on. Our troops follow
ed them up through the woods. The scene
presented to-day is beyond description.
The dead and dying behind and in front of
the broastworks lying in some places in piles
three and four deep-many of them wound
ed in several parts of the body.
The enemy had removed large number
OF their dead and wounded during the night
from portions of the linc but there were
places where they could not reach and there
they lay as thick as ours. 1t was Gen.
Birney's Division Of the I'd Corps which
charged the position and lost about 700 men.
| Every regiment in the division DISTINGUISHED
itself Col. Carroll brigade aided this di-
vision in the charge, and, as usual, per-
| formed their share of the work with mark
ed gallantry. Col. Carroll was wounded the
second time but keeps on duty
Some of the caissons are now being
brought i'll, which could not be done be-
fore. The number of guns captured was 80.
Many colors have been taken, but the cap
tors still retain them as trophies Col Car
roll 5 brigade took number of prisoners
and eight stands of colors this morning
from 4 rcblc regiment, which they surprised
in piece of wood
LATER.
HEADQUARTERS, May 13, 2 p. M.-The
enemy were found to have fallen back to
new line abandoning their works on their
right, apparently getting into position for
another contest.
New YORK, May 1.-THE following spe-
cial dispatch has been received by the
Iin,cs:
HEADQUARTERS, May 18th, 2 p. M.-The
enemy continues to strengthen his works.
1t is fully expected however, that vigor-
ous turning movement will complete the
l evacuation of the rebel lines without having
battle.
, Yesterday afternoon the rebels suddenly
developed line of battle on our left, COM
ing through the woods and gobbling up
+, several Of our pickets, and also driving back
the reserve. .....
Generals Meade and Wright, with their
} staffs, were out beyond the front at the
: time, and had an extremely narrow escape
! from capture.
: Immediately afterwards, General Wright
| threw out force under cover of artillery fire
:. and rc-took the position, which was an i'm
portant one.
; NEW YORK, May l5.-The Herald spe-
cial says:
The Second corps has lost 400 killed,
:, 900 wounded, and l,400 missing. The
Fifth corps has lost l,2oo killed, 1906
f. wounded, and 1900 missing. The Sixth
three corps amounts to 81, 500.
Burnside's losses are nearly in the same
. proportion.

WASHINGTON. MAY l3.-Thc boats which
left Belle Plain at 10 O'Clock this morning
are just in. The passengers bring the in
telligenco of the result OF yesterday $ battle.
1t lasted all day, and Lee was finally driven
out of his entertainments TO 20 River; four
miles During last night the greater part
OF his army crossed that stream, the glori-
Gus victory of the morning was thus render
cd decisive and brilliant by the result Of the
evening.
Additional advices from Gen Sheridan
show that his has been a great success, both
the fredericksburg and Ric,mond and the
Virginia Central Railroads have been dcs-
troyed for miles.
General Sigei' cavalry, in moving down
the Valley of Virginia, have tapped the
Virginia Central Railroad near Charlotts-
vile.
The Secretary of War, in his dispatch Of
yesterday, stated that the Government was
sparing no pains to support Grant. The
energy to this end is truly commendable.- -
Since the battles of the Wilderness, and
more particularly since the army has been
engaged in the Vicinity of Spottsylvania,
reinfOrccments have been rapidly sent for
ward. $4,000 men left this city Thursday,
and it is stated that Sigel reinforced the
Army Of the Potomac with fifteen thousand
men.
There is every probability that the losses
in the army in the late battles have been
greatly exaggerated, and that the reinforce
mCnts of 20 900 or more men referred to
above will very nearly make up the actual
losses; so that the army is as strong nu-
merically as when it set out upon the cam
paign.

NEW YORK, May l2-On Tuesday, Glib
bon's and Berlon's divisions were with
drawn from the South bank of the Po.
The latter division was closely followed by
the enemy, who were checked by our artil-
lery, posted along the ridge commanding
the river Early in the day the whole ar
my began to straighten out in line of battle
for n renewal Of the engagement. Skir-
mishng was kept up during this time be
tween the advanced lines of the two armies
the enemy stirring himself as tho he inten-
ded offensive operations. Our line formed
with the second corps on the right, the first
in the centre, and the sixth ON the left,
with Burnside's corps in the rear of our
left for the protection Of our immense trains
and TO act as a reserve in any emergency.
The country here was quite rolling, with
studded groves Of pine and hard wood, and
afforded much better facilities for the hand
ling Of troops and the use of artillery than
about the Wilderness The enemy, durins
the night, strengthened their i0rmidabl,
position with rifle pits, breastworks, &c.
rendering it stronger than any line of de
lcnse occupied by him since leaving tn,
carthworks on the Rapidan.
Thus matters stood until far into the al
ternoon. Fighting became quite sharp a
intervals at different points, but withou
anything definite, five clock was fixed fo
the grand assault General orders anno,ln
cling the success of Sherman in the West
and Butler ON James River, were read L

As the time approached for the attack
the enthusiasm of the troops became almos
ungovernable, Grant, surrounded by hi
staff, and Meade, Hancock and Warren, al
stationed ON the eminence within sight a
each other, while the vast columns of on
army slowly gathered themselves togethe

WASHINGTON, May l4.-General Scho-
field has achieved a victory and pursued the
enemy into North Carolina. General
Thomas has gobbled up 5000 and captured
II guns.
PHILADELPHIA, May 16th.-A special to.
the Evening Telegraph from Washington,
says that Surgeon from the Goth New
York regiment, who was captured with
COO others, in the third days fight, and
subsequently paroled, came into our lines
on Saturday with the body of Gen. Wads-
worth, which had been inferred by the or
der of Gen Lee, in neat coffin. He also
saw Gen. Longstreet in his tent. He is
wounded in his collar-bone. The wound
was not mortal, but would incapacitate him
for active duty for some time.
General j. Il. b. Stuart was not down
at Richmond at the time that General
Sheridan was near there, and is now in Gen
Lees army uGhurt.
The rebel loss is tremendous, but there is
no indication of their giving up yet.
Their lines are well supplied by lines OF in
terror works, and more are being construct
ed.
Gen. Lee has not been wounded as the
Surgeon saw and talked with him on Friday,
when he gave him permission to take the
body of Gen Wadsworth. He is of the
opinion that lhe rebels will yet make des-
perate resistance. He says their privations
to exasperate them, and these are kept up by
the hope and idea Of exhausting and com
pelling Us to abandon the contest.

tTimes' Special.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-lO p. NJ.
Dispatches just received from one of your
correspondents at the front, dated Head
quarters, 8 o'clock last night, say that the
rebels are in full retreat to North Anna riv-
er, with fresh troops in hot pursuit
Lee retreat is becoming d rout. Thou
sands of prisoners are being captured The
streams in his rear are very much swollen
by Jhe recent rains. Supplies are reaching
the army rapidly. Our wounded are com
ing in yer fast, and being sent to Washing
ton, many Of them without stopping at
Frederick sburg.
| The rebel cavalry drove two companies OF
! the 22d New York cavalry, and two COM
panie5 Of New Jersey men last night near
/ Frederickburg. Some of our men arc mis-
sing. They made no attack on Fredericks-
burg. They were evidently after our trains,
| as all their movements seem for that object.
We have as yet lost nothing in the way Of
wagons, except four ambulances, captured
in the field.
Our losses in killed, wounded and mis-
sing are estimated at forty-hvc thousand
many Of whom are absent without sufficient
reason and cannot be counted among the
losses.
General Grant will crush Lee before he
goes to Richmond, if he has to use hi
teamsters to do it. We captured over sH
thousand prisoners yesterday, and nca
10 guns.
The Worlds special from the field give
! further details of Thursday great battle
The opening was complete surprise to the
enemy. Hancock moved at half past 1 a
m, and gained one of the outcrmost riff,
pits Of the rebels. They then rushed upor
them with fixed bayonets and captured
about COO prisoners. johnson and Stew
art were taken at breakfast. Forty -eigh
guns were also taken and brought off; th,
remainder fifteen in number, were lef
just behind our skirmish lines, and fought
for by both sides several times The rebel:
also attempted to retakc the riilc-pits, but
were rcpulsed with great slaughter
The 9TH corps, under Warren, charged
repeatedly against the cncmy's works, bu
were unable to take them with an cnfladinl
fire sweeping down our men. Our troop
gained and held three lines Of the rifle
!pits, in addition to that captured on tn
left.
Near dark our center, for the fir t tim
occupied Spottsylyania village This mon
= ming our pickcts sent word that Lee ha
fallen back on the roads running straight t
the Po river and Pcnn's Tavern. At eigl
o'clock this morning it is said Warren ha
come up in pursuit in time to capture on
Of Lees pontoon trains. The rebels how
ever, We're on the South side Of the L
1 river
Prisoners state positively that Lee and h
army are entirely worn out, and fearful
= reduced by tremendous losses.
