FROM THE CAPITOL.

The last week has been marked by several
matters of great Importance.
The most important thing that has oc-
cured during the session is the passage of
Asolution by both Houses to adjourn on
Frilay next until the second Tuesday in
september next. 1t will be seen that they
are to meet again. Well, it will be Il great
relief to our people to get rid Of. them even
for short time. and we NAV thank our stars
that they have done no more mischief than
they have. What thew will vet do. however
| cannot tell, but the friends of the Lottery
have high anticipations that they will pass
their bill.
The counsel in the Stout divorce case
have got through with hearing the evidence
and the argument, and the matter is now be-
fore the Legislature. Opinions are divided
as to whether the bill will pass. From all
can learn doubt it.

BY TELEGRAPH.
BALTIMORE, July IL

The news from Washington is exciting
The star says the skirmishing on the Rock
willie road that commenced at an early hour
this forenoon was continual by the advance
Of the Rebel force to a point about four
miles west of Tennallytown; there heir
progress on that road stopped, and they dis
anne ared in some other direction. Suisse
onentlv we hear of them skirmishing be-
tween IL and II O'Clock on and around the
Seventh street Turnpike, near Clagget's
farm.
1t is reported to-day that the Rebels
burned the residence of F. P. Blair. There
were 800 infantry only in force encAmped
at Rock Vile last night. Refugees arriving
to-day from the vicinity of Edwards Fer
nv report them crossing at North Point yes
terday and to-day in large NUM- ers, som e
saving IL 600 strong and other 10000.
Breckinridge is believed to be in COM
of their advance in this direction, and Inn
boden commands the cavalry now hanging
around our Notifications. All was quiet in
front of our picket lines upon what is known
as the River Road. Up to noon to-day, the
Star says the numbers and purposes of the
Rebel invading forces are confusngly con-
flicting.
We give, elsewhere, the opinion enter
tanned by many, that the Rebel force is not
of weight sufficient to undertake serious
attack upon the Notifications of Washing
ton, aud that it Is not their purpose to do so.
Per con ira, we have just received the fol-
lowing from a source of great intelligence
and reliability-one that has, on repeated
occasions, had the earliest aud most accu
rate information Of Rebel movements in
Virginia. The information received from
this quarter, is as follows:
zhaI IF uocin bn
valley is As 900 strong, including 5000 cav
airy, under the command of Early, Brsck-
inridge, 'Ransom, Imboden and McCaus-
laud.
Longstreet was at Gordonsville on Tues
day last with additional forces to join the
Rebel army of invasion, and the purpose of
that: army was an attempt to capture
Washington by surprise.
The Virginia Central Railroad is repaired
and running from Richm ond to Stauntou.
Moseby has 2, 400 men in his command.
aud expects to have his force increased. In
the fight at Alde, Moseby captured 81 cav
alrymen, killed 20, captured Major and
II pound cannon. Kinchelloe's mmand Z,
one company, was operating near Fairfax
G. H., aud near OccOquan.
Later.
I'm to quarter past two o'clock the state
of affairs 10 the vicinity of Rabbits Branch
Postoffice continued to be about the same
as during the morning.
There has been no general engagement,
but cavalry diminishing is going on at IN
tervals. The enemy has not made his ap-
perance anywhere within range Of our guns
and so far has shown DO disposition to do so.
No casualties have been reported on our
side in the f ght this morning between Lo-
wsIl and til Rebel cavalry.
Maysville weekly bulletin. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1864-1866, 1864-07-14

that Johnston had transferred portion OF
his army to Richmond is not credited here
in army circles. The object OF Johnston Is
evidently to weaken Sherman as much as
possible before he shall reach the Chatta-
hoochee river, so that in case the Federals
shall be defeated there, few OF them can es'
cape death or capture. Secretary Stanton
is entirely satisfied Sherman is in good posi-
ton and condition, aud that he will GER
tainly capture Atlanta. Mr.. Lincoln also
shares in these views of his War Secretary.
The destruction of the Alabama has caus-
ed much rejoicing. It is about the only
ecisivs victory we have achieved this year
And singular as it map seem, it Is not con-
sidered SO much victory over the rebels as
over the British flag. 1t is generally trea-
ted as a victory over Jonny Bull, since the
vessel was fitted out in a British port and
was manned by English sailors and gun
neFs.
1t is not expected that Mr.. Fessenden
will change the course marked out by Mr..
Chase. Indeed he cannot do it if he would,
without producing a general convulsion.-
So he says. He will issue more greenoacks.
He will expand instead of contractig then
currency. One thousand million OF dollars
were appropriated by this congress at its late
session. That cannot be raised by loans. -
! The Treasury will have torely mainly on Its
paper issues. The depreciation must con-
tinue, unless we gain some decisive victo-
ries which will give assurance that the
rebellion can be put down some day in the
distant future. Such victories are hardly
| to be looked for at present, at least, and the
future is too misty to see far into 1t.

here, being quickened as we advanced by
the souud Of Crooks guns engaged with
Gen. McCausland, who held this place -
They defended it with acrimony, burning
the bridge, playing on the hills as we came
40 with she'll, and bushwackiDg us from
syery tree. This was madness on their
part, as we had beaten them before being
Joined by Gen Brook and Averill, aud are
now of course able to whip them twice
over.
1t seems, however, that McCansland Is
waiting for Breckenridge, who has been de-
tailed with his Division from Lees army
to drive us back, or at least halt US be-
tween there and Richmond or Lynchourg,
which ever we strike for. It is supposed
the plan is to put the broken brigades OF
cavalry under Imboden. jenkins, M udwali
Jackson, McCausland and Jones, rallied to-
oether upon a division of Lees veterans,
and then to give US another trial for the
Valley. This morning we destroyed the
Virginia Military Institute. morrow
we move at daylight, but have no idea In
what direction. Our situation is pressing
but not critical. If Lac is not fully en-
ployed by Grant he can send down troops
enough via Lynchburg Railroad to over
wheim us; but if Grant will hold all OF
Lees force in Richmond, this column can
make the Rebel Capital untenable within
few days by cutting off the last main artery
| of supply.

New YORK, July 1o

On Sunday afternoon the steamer Elec-
trio Spark, on a voyage from this port to
Havana and New Orleans, was boarded
and taken possession of by the privateer
Florida. When the Florida was first dis
covered she was distant about 10 miles to
the northward, and making for the Eiec-
trio Spark, which she gained on rapidly
When seven or eight miles distant the
Florida hoisted the English flag which she
kept flying until within l 200 yards Of the
steamer when the Rebel colors were sub
stitu ted, and a shot fired astern OF the Elec-
trio Spark, closely followed by another
across the bow; the steamer not comming
to Immediately, a she'll was fred, which, at
ter striking in the water a few feet from
the vessel, passed directly over her about
midship.
The steamer then hove to, and was i'm
mediately boarded by a party from the
Florida, who took possession of her, and
ordered the captain on board the privatser,
NTH his papers. His personal property
was not DESTROYED or taken. but the steamer
with all the mails, contained in 65 bags,
were retained.
The English sch ooner Lave had been
previously board ed by the Florida. and was
near by at the time she captured the Eec-
trio Spark. Both steamers soon headed for
the schooner. which hove to until they
came up, and the captain. crew and pasSeu =
gers, about 40 in number. were then put on
board the Lave, which was bound for this
port The Lave arrived here last evening
The Electric Spark had a very narrow
escape from destruction, being mistaken for
a transport. Had she not stopped after the
third shot, a broadside from the rebel bat
terry, which was in readiness for the pur
pose, would have destroyed her.

East MaysvIIIe AffaIrs-Scenes of ViO-
IencP-The Remedy

East MdySNlll6 "a
Ience-The Remedy.
Mr. EDIToR:-It Is we'll known that for
some time past, East Maysville has been
the theatre of habitual rowdyism, and that
scarcely night passes that the peace and
quiet of the place is not disturbed by per-
sons from abroad who visit the houses Of i'll
fame which are suffered to exist there. At
all hours of the night, these jewellers may
be heard making all things hideous by the
turbulence of their conduct, and the danger
which ensues to peaceful persons aud their
property. It IS natural to ask why these
things are tolerated.
It is the duty of the Board of Trustees,
who are the guardians of the peace and
m erals of the town, to put an instant stop to
these disturbances, first by the employment
of an efficient police, and then by the
removal of the attractive nuisancss which
are the stimulating cause of all the violence
and wrong. God knows, thsy collect taxes
enough in TIE place, to pay ten times over
for strong police force, sufficient to keep
perfect quiet at all times, and the money
had better iniDitsly be expended in pro-
tectiug the peace and property of the citi :
zens, than to be appropriated as some OF it
has been lately for partial and local i'm
provements. The citizens OF East Mays
Vile, it is we'll known, have for several
year paid higher taxes than are paid in old
Maysville, as grevious and burdensome as
the taxes have been in that place, and yet
| in more than half the town not one dollar
as been expended in the way Of improve
ments for several years. Even the cutters,
which are so necessary for the drainage and
proper health of the place, in some parts of
the town have not been cleaned for years.
1t is the duty of the Trustees, in the pre-
servation of good order, and the conservatism
of the public peace, to take steps to abate
the moral nuisances which exist right under
their noses, and for q failure to do 30, the
| Corporation is liable to indictment. They
should see that their Marshal does his duty,
by arresting the owners of houses, who rent
them for purposes Of prostitution, and the
keepers Of such houses, and take them be-
fore some Judge of Police, or Justice of the
Peace, who will hold them to bail to appear
before the Circuit Court, to answer indict-
ments for the offences of which they are
guilty. If the Marshal alone is not com =
petert to make the arrests, then the Board
of Trustees are bound to provide him proper
assistants for this purpose, as we'll as to pre-
vent the scenes of outrage and violence
which are constantly occurring within theii
Jurisdiction. If the Board of Trustees will
give their attention to these grievances, OIL
which the citizens have just right to COM
plain, they can speedily restore quiet and
security to the place. a CITIZEN.
