THE SANITARY COMMISSION. A circum-
stance came under our knowledge few
days since, that serves to show where
the money goes of the Sanitary Commits
sion. Three boys belonging to one of
the veteran regiments, that have recent
ly left New Orleans for a short visit to-
their Northern homes, were accidentally
left in this city. They had placed their
money in the hands Of their officer
their knapsaeks were on the boat. thus
leaving them perfectly destitute. The
case was stated to the Sanitary Commisy
sion, and after strict and satisfactory
examination into the circumstances and
the character of the boys, they were pro-
vided by the Agent of the Commission
Rev. F. G. Williams, Chaplain of the st.
Louis Hospital, with blanket, change
of clothing, and seven days ration
cach.
Surely the people will never tire of
giving to this mammoth charitable and
patriotic Commission.-N. 0. Times.
The "boys" above spoken of belonged
to the 9Th Vermont regiment Thew
were furnished transportation hv the eff.
forts Of Major Barstow, and came home
by the next steamer Prass.

The PENDING CONFLICT IN VIRGINIA.
A correspondent Of the Springfield Re
publican sends the following from Gull
pepper, May 8 r.s. -..........
The public will not much longer be
disappointed in its anticipation of early
and stirring news from this quarter
There is ground for the best belief that
the commencement of offensive move
ments will be Immediately followed
by decisive events, and that Lee may,
within very few days, have chance
for a general action The nature of
Gen. Grants plan of operation is already
plainly indicated by certain preliminary
movements in this army and elsewhere
1t will be found as remarkable for it's
boldnes and ingenuity of conception and
for vigor and rapidity of execution as
the movement by which he carried his
way to the rear of Vicksburg Here, as
there, his main reliance will be upon
hard marching and harder fighting"
REBEL VIEW OF THE SITUATION.
The Richmond Examiner of the Doth
ult., concludes an article on the military
situation in Virginia as follows: of
we hold our own in Virginia till this
summer is ended, the North's power of
mischief everywhere will be gone if we
lose, the South's capacity for resistance
will be broken. The confederacy has
ample power to keep it's place in Virgin.
ia if employed with energy and consis-
tency, and this is the last year of the
war, whichever party wins" The same
paper says that the most serious scarcity
of provisions exists in Virginia, both
north and south Of the James river and
not only in cities and towns, but through
out the interior.

RESIGNATION OF Col. JEwETT.-Col.
A. B. Jewett of the Josh Vermont regi-
ment has been compelled by ill-health
which has incapacitated him for field
service, to resign Col. Jewett has won
a high rank in public estimation for
himself and for his regiment By his
resignation the service loses one of it's
best officers.
On learning of the fact, meeting was
held of the officers of the regiment, and
the following resolutions were adopted !.
Whereos, Col A. B. Jewett on account
of disease has been incapacitated for
field service and obliged to resign his
command of this regiment. There
fore, .... N.
Resolved, That we, the officers of the
10th Vermont infantry, express our re-
greet in losing so gallant an officer. w Q
having been under his command for
nearly two years, feel confident that our
little Green Mountain State has never
sent better officer into the field He
has been kind to all, doing injustice to
none-the best welfare of this regiment
ever being his most earnest study. The
regiment owes to- him very much
for its good name and discipline and we
desire to express our sympathy for him
in his affection, and our high regard for
him as an officer and gentleman, assur
ing him that we shall ever remember
our associations with him with pride
and pleasure.
Resolred That one copy of this resolu-
ton be presented to Col. Jewett. and
copies sent to Vermont for publication
in the state papers.

CLEVELAND CoNvENTIoN.-Those NAL
contents who profess to belong to the
Union party and yet refuse to abide by
the action of the regularly called Nation
al Union Convention, have called Con-
vention to be held at Cleveland on the
26th inst. These men are doing all in
their power to divide the Union party
and surrender the government into the
hands Of the peace-at-any- price demo-
cracy. The first and great desire of all
patriots in this hour of the country's
peril, should be the integrity of the I'm
ion strength. United, there is no chance
of defeat in the coming presidential con-
test. The efforts of these Cleveland con-
ventionists can alone render doubtful
the glorious triumph Of Union principles.
For themselves there is not shadow of
hope for success. Their work tends di-
rectly and only to the benefit of the cop
perheads. If any true Union man de-
sires to aid in such work, he can SYM
pathise with these factious politicians
who are boilers even before they know
from what candidate they are boiling.
But there is happily little danger that
such a movement can become of much
practical Importance, Whoever shall be
nominated by the regular Union Conven-
ton will be accepted by all who have at
heart the maintenance and welfare of
the Union, and he will be elected Who
ever allows himself to be used by these
malcontents as candidate for the dis
traction and defeat of the Union cause,
VIII be forever squelched by the voice of
an indignant people.

Nothing but success on the part of

cover Of seeming tranquility, which may

vessels destroyed by the worms, half
their crews dead, and the other half OBJ

home from the small prospect of recover
ing their property, or long existing in
the pestiferous climate And all this oc-
casioned by rriends-a fraternal hug,

from subjugation and starvation-who
had no other medium Of sustenance. To
revenge on us the crimes of the English

TRACKING A THEA new method
for tracking thief was employed the
other day by an engineer who was work
ing one of the Austrian railways. He
noticed that for some time past money
had frequently disappeared out of his
desk, and without telling any one what
he intended doing, he put his desk in
communication with an electric wire,
and placed petard in the ante-room.
The electric wire, and point In contact
with packet of money, so that in re-
moving the money, the friction produ-
ced on the wire would ignite the metard
All these preparations made, the engi-
neer placed the money in his desk, and
left, saying he should be absent some
little time. A few hours later, loud
report frightened all the clerks and 9th
er people employed at the Office greatly.
They all rushed to the spot from which
the noise proceeded the engineer being
amongst them and there they discovered
the thief, stunned by the explosion, and
perhaps the most alarmed of all present.
He was one of the railway porters.
