GENERAL BUTLER's DEPARTMENT

Fortress Monroe, June 3, 1864.
The enemy attacked General Buffers
lines of defence at Bermuda Hundred
on Wednesday evening, at o'clock, and
made charge with the evident intention
of capturing our Parrott guns; but they
were repulsed, with heavy loss. The
| fighting continued until near Thursday
morning, when the enemy were driven
back. Our loss was very slight.
The Strategic Value of Grants Position
on Tuesday.
Near Hanoyertown, Tuesday, May 81,
1S64.-At this date, Mr.. Swinton, of the
Times, writes:
Draw line five or six miles in length
| from the Pamunkey, near Hanover Court
House, where our right now rests, almost
due south across Totopatamoy creek, three
miles south of Hanovertown, and you
will have our line of battle as it now
stands Five miles west of our lines runs
that famous stream, the "Chickahominy."
Along that river, in front covering the
Virginia Central Railroad, from Atlee'
Station to Shady Grove, FIVE miles north
of Richmond, the rebel front is formed
Midway of the interval that divides these
two fronts Of mighty opposites, the skir-
mish lines of two armies meet, and to our
ears the morning air brings the crackle
of musketry like the spluttering of some
hell cauldron, while now and then comes
the boom of guns. whose reverberations
are easily heard in the capital of the re-
bellion. Gaines Mill and Mechanics
vile are within an hours ride. Fair Oaks
you can reach in two hours trot.-
Richmond is ten miles off. 'Tis thus
that history repeats itself
The present position of this army is
the result of the fne turning movement,
which, commencing on Thursday last, in
two days planted our corps across the Pa
munkey river, rendered useless the elab-
orate rebel defences on the South Anna,
and secured US communication with York
river, the Chesapeake, and the ample re-
sources which these waters float OF this
movement | have sent you such reports
as it has been possible to send with such
infrequent opportunities of communica-
ton as are afforded. [ fear, however,
that no reports which you can have re-
ceived are at all adequate to set forth the
true presentation of this great operation
in strategy. Your readers would require
better maps than can possibly be accessi-
BILE to them, and would need to bring tol
them all amount of study of which you
are capable in order to grasp its relations

Coming Home.

The Pennsylvania Reserves, who have
won such an enviable reputation during
the past three years, arrived at Harris
burg, on Monday last, for the purpose OF
being mustered out Of service their tern
of enlistment having expired. a most
fitting reception was given them by the
State authorities, ard by the citizens o.
Harrisburg As Monroe County wa;
honorably and faithfully represented III
the Reserves, would it not be well for oul
citizens to make some preparation to give
the surviving members Of Company f,
4th Regiment proper acknowledgement
of their services. The Reserves marched
10 the seat of war some $4,000 strong
Disease. re-enlstments and casualties oI
war reduced that number to 1900. Il
such sacrifice does not secure fitting
show of public appreciation to the survl'
yors, calloused indeed have we all become
to the finer feelings Of humanity. Let us
bestir ourselves fellow citizens, and dc
something to gladden. the hearts of those
who have suffered so long, and fought SC
well for the preservation of the glorious
privileges which our fathers bequeathed
TO Us.

DEsTITUTION IN RICHMOND.

Rebel prisoners and deserters tell
woful story Of the great destitution OF the
poorer classes in Richmond. They state
that hundreds of poor families are anx-

flour is worth three hundred and fifty
dollars per barrel, and ginger snaps, sold
in New York four or five for cent, are
sold in Richmond at one dollar each.

GENIUS, TALENT AND CLBvERNEss.
rushes like a whirlwind-talent marches like a
cavalcade of heavy men and heavy horses
cleYerness skins like swallow in the summer
evening, with a sharp, shrill note and a sudden
turning. The of genius dwells with men
and with nature; the man of talent in his study;
but the clever man dances here, there and eve
rywhere, like butterfly in a hurricane, striking
everything and enjoying nothing, but too light
to be dashed to pieces. The man of talent will
attack theories, the clever man will assail the
individual, and slander private character. The
man of genius despises both; he needs none, he
fears none, he lives in himself, shrouded in the
consciousness of his 0wn strength ne inter-
feres with none, and walks forth an example
that "eagles fly alone-they are sheep that herd
together" 1t is true, that should poisonous
worm cross his path he may tread it under his
foot; should a cur snarl at him he may chastise
him; but he will not, cannot attack the privacy
of another.

Look Aloft.

In the tempest of life, when the and the gale
Are around and above, if thy footing should fail
If thine eve should grow d and thy caution depart,
Look aloft, and be firm, and be fearless of heart.
If the friend who embraced in prosperity's glow,
With smile for each joy and tear for each wo,
Should betray thee when sorrows like clouds are ar
rayed,
Look aoft to the friendship which shall fade.
Should the visions which hope spreads in light to
to thine eye
Like the tints of the rainbow but brighten to fly,
Then turn and through tears of repentant regret,
Look aloft to the sun that is never to set.
Should they who are dearest. the son Of thy heart,
The wife of thy bosom, in sorrow depart,
Look alOft from the darkness and dust of the tomb
To that soil where affection is ever in bloom.
And, o when death comes in his terrors to cast
His fears on the FUTURE his pail on the past,
In that moment of darkness with hope in thy heart,
And smile in thine eye look aloft, and depart.

GOLD IN ANCIENT TIMEs.-Whatever may have
been the source whence the ancients obtained
their gold, there is abundant evidence that this
metal was admired and valued by them as much
as it is at the present day. Many of the accounts
given by the earlier writer's dazzle us into sup
position that the stores of gold in those days
were much larger than can be commanded at
present. Thus Semiramis is said to have erect
ed statues of Jupiter, Juno, and Rhea, forty feet
in height, and made of beaten gold. Drinking
vessels made of gold, and weighing twelve hun
dred talents, are also spoken Of The sumptu-
GUS display of precious metals in the palaces of
the great are frequently alluded to; but it has
been aptly observed that the quantity difused
among the bulk of the English population at
the present day would make sum total for
outbidding the golden wealth of those earlier
days, though less obvious and glittering from
being so much diffused.

RELIGION NOT GLooM.-We are of those who
love religion who wish to express it in our
daily life; and, loving it as we do, we cannot
push it to one side as a dark and solemn thing,
fit only to receive our tears of repentance, and
before which we must walk with long-drawn
faces. We see it in the glory the sunshine of
life. When it springs within us, it does not
consign us to a life of trembling suspense passed
on the edge of the tomb but our souls, hitherto
stumbling among the tombs cropping in dim
caverns of the earth, rise into the sunshine of
Gods love. This is the true, life, and no one
can truly say he lives, unless throwing aside his
grave-clothes, he walks forth in this light. We
hold that those who live in earnest, must of ne
cessity be religious, and that their religion will
carry them above all sorrow and care. There
fore we do not like the fashionable sentimental
ism which throws shadows upon religion. We
like soberness and reverence, but also cheerful
ness, triumph joy and gladness.
