Q"oen to allow Of the marriage being
celebrated, bat III vain. Princess Mary
Il Al excellent woman, and also "a fine
woman,' OF the fat, langushing and
lazy style Of beauty; and it is very

THE FLORIDA ExPEpIrIoN.

two letters on the subject Of the Florida eIpe-

other "Morris Island, 8. c." Ths fret con-

COLONEL ULRIC DAHLeREN.

No officer has fallen In the service during
the present war who was more deeply and tom
derly lamented by all who knew him than Col.
Uric Dahlgren. He was universal favorite
In military circles, and although very young,
he was the idol Of all young officers with whom
he was brought into companlonship. With q
cool head, and heart as brave as a lion; with
nobly patriotic instincts and generous human
feelings he endeared himself to all.
His military history all belong 10 the present
war, for he was but twenty-five years old when
he fell. When the rebellion began he held q
position in the army and his Southern acquaIn-
tances tried hard to seduce him from his allie.
glance, but In vain. He was appointed addI-
tonal ald-deeamp with the rank of Captain,
May 30, 1869, and served FIRST on Fremont'a
and subsequently on slgel's staff. While sery-
ing with the latter, he performed an exploit
which sigel characterised as one Of the most
brilliant and daring Of the war. .s.
1t was In the summer campaign Of '62 when

When General Hooker was placed In com,

Dahlgren was assigned to his stan, and w

Hooker aud loved by all his military family
his gallantry consortlng well with their brave

services M TO the time when he lost hia lao In

His last expedition with Fitzpatrick was un

THAT CIRCULAR-TIIE MILK IN TnR
COCOANUT.

She Chicago Tribune, one Of the extreme rad.
ical papers of the West, the editor of which has
known Mr.. Pomeroy from the time he first
went TO Kansas as member of the New Eng
land Emigrant Aid Society to the present,
speaking OF the "Circular." says
Mr.. Pomeroy, In the early stages Of the Ad-
ministration, desired 10 have the control of the
gifts in the hands of the President for Kansas
and the Plains. He aspired to political posi-
ton which his ability did not warrant, and the
President, with his customary shrewd insight,
at once saw that his callbrc was not sufficient.
Mr.. Pomeroy at once soured, and commenced
plotting against Mr.. Lincoln, and this secret
circular Is part Of the programme which he
and a small clique Of disappointed politicians
are attempting to carry out. II Is their game
not alone to throw over Mr.. Lincoln, but Mr.
Chase also, by playing them of, one against
the other, and then fall back upon third can
didate.
The pretended endorsement of Chase Is
purely 1gurative. Mr.. Chase will be used to
throw over Mr.. Lincoln, and then Mr.. ChAsI
will go the same way, and an outside cand
date step in over the ruins Of the other two. II
10 very pretty game but no such hnr kar
process will take place, and M. Pomeroy over
estimates his ability in thinking he can carr
out this conspiracy, as badly as he did when ht
undertook to'be the representative man of thu
Northwest. The circular 10 harmless bolt
II Mr.. Lincoln is as weak as II pretends, tint
would have demonstrated II, and tie futur
will show; II not, the circular falls harmless.
Mr.. Lincoln is 10 day the strongest man il
the country. He will make better time on thu
next Presidential course than he did In go
He 10 the peoples man, and the people hay
determined that he shall 60 on and settle III
the rebellion, reorganize secessia, wipe ou
slavery, and satisfactorily solve the problem
which he enunclated at Springhelds that thes
States cannot exist half slave and half free, b!
Welding them together In the bonds Of uniyer
sal freedom.
Mr.. Pomeroy and such politicians OF llmite
abilities, had better step aside or they will ge
crushed. His influence In his own State I
shown by the fact that recently the Legislator
Of Kansas Tenominated Mr.. Lincoln almos
unanimously. He should take lesson iron
this and also from the pretty little fable o
school-boy days OF u certain frog who split hi
cuticle in the vain attempt TO puff himself u

CINCINNATI, March 9.-The Comnereiars
Chattanooga dispatch OF the 9th says; All is
quiet In front except the occasional exchange
Of shots between the advance cavalry plckets.
To-day large force Of rebel cavalry appeared
before Nickajack Gap and pressed our cavalry.
DOserters arrive within our lines at the rate Of
about thirty per day.
A dispatch Of the 7th says that the rebel cay
airy have retired and our forces are now at
Nickajack Gap. 1t is not unlikely that the
rebels may assume the offensive.
A large force OF rebel cavalry attacked 93
men of the Sd Tennessee at Panther Springs,
East Tennessee, on the 9Th. Our loss was
killed and wounded and 90 captured. The
rebels had 80 XII d and wounded.

General Grants Opinion OF the Military
Situation.

CINCINNATI, March IA special dispatch to
the Columbus Gazette says that Gen. Grant on
his way East, in conversation with distin-
guished officer, expressed himself as entirely
satisfied with the situation Of military affairs.
He spoke in the highest terms Of Gen. sher-
mans expedition, which had given the rebel
lion the seyerest blow since the loss Of Vicks-
burg.
General Sherman had destroyed forage and
provisions enough 10 subslst the rebel army
from three TO six months. In one place he de-
stroyed over two millions of. property, and in
another place immense stores. Thousands OF
bushels Of corn and large quantities OF wheat
were consumed. lie has also brought in large
droyes Of cattle, several thousand mules, 5000
negroes and over 400 prisoners, with only a
triaing loss of men and material on our side.
In addition to this, by the destruction Of very
important railroad lines, General Sherman has
released MePherson's Corps from guard duty
along the Mississippi and restored them TO ac-
| tive service.
