Undoubtedly the biggest sell Of the season
was the story sent per letter dated Washing

effect that the rebel government Is disposed
to lay down its arms and treat for peace.
No paper in Washington gave it the benefit
OF a notice, though a copy, we believe, was
Supplied to each, eve got duplicates,) but a
Baltimore paper bit at it, and the substance OF
it was telegraphed from that city in a shape to
give it IN air of importance. Mr. "James Yates
of Richmond" is doubtless chuckling in his
sleeve at the success OF his little game.

Assistant Secretary of War p. H. Watson is,
we regret to say, suffering again from serious
indisposition, and has gone North for a short
season. To those who have an opportunity Of
observing the immense amount of work trans
acted per diem at the War Department, and the
constant strain upon the faculties of those per-
forming it, there is little occasion for wsnder
that even the most robust mind and frame
should succumb to the pressure.

PROFANITY IN THE CARS.

A writer in one of our exchanges has the follow
ing to say about what has been observed by many
persons, viz. the rapid increase of profanity and
vulgarity the cars 'Ears polite have often been
shocked by profanity in the running different
railroads. To great extent has this come that
ladies' having respect for themselves have been
PEELED to change cars because of the shocking and
lamentable want Of common decency, as exhibited
by some of the passengers. If gentleman out of
polite Difference to the ladies', should happen to
even gently reprimand the uncouth and vulgar fell
lows, instead of having desirable eecti it seems to
make them worse. In sneh cases the conductors
should turn the selfcondsmned immoralists out of
the cars. The boards of railroads have long since
passed stringent resolutions to prevent smoking in
tho ladies' and special car is attached, for the
smokers benefit. The smoke of cigar is not often
sive to people general thing, but the smoke of
immortality suggestive of fire and birthstone, is en-
trely too sitting to everybody except the low, the
vulgar, and the vile and it should not be permitted
to impregnate the atmosphere of public passenger
car, any other place where promiscuOus crowds of
people apt to collect 1t is intolerable nui-
ssnce, and with view to its abatement we would
suggest the propriety of attaching profane in
front of that occupied by smokers, for the accommo
dation Of those who have regard for the laws of
God or for the feelings of those who may be within
the sound of their voices. +"

COMPLIMENT DIS
TASTEFUL TO THE SOLDIER.

A recent Copperhead conventon composed Of the
semitraitors of Allegany county, Nd endeavored to
conciliate the good feeling of the second Maryland
Regiment, Potomac Home Guards, by compliment
ing it for courage and endurance. The regiment,
however, did not consider recognition from such a
source at all complimentary, and repudated it in Sc
ries ofresolutions, in which they say:
ResOlrcd That compliment of such nature as the
one above alluded to, paid to loyal man by the en-
emy of the Government, should be looked upon by the
former with suspicion and disgust.
A compliment from such source to soldiers in the
army of the Union considered the ne plus ultra
of insults.
Resolred, That even were we an organization OF
american citizens of African descent in the mill
tary service the United States, would not allow
such men as those whose names appear, with their
knowledge and consent upon the circular put forth
by this self styled Union Convention, to associate with
in any capacity whatever neither would we con-
slider the moral standard of regiment elevated or its
patriotism increased. by the addition of recruits from
these would be Unionists.
Resolred That an open foe is more desirable than
treacherous friend-an armed rebel infinitely more
honorable than a freside traitor.
Resolped, That were we in civil life we would take
measures that such by our suffrage should hold
Office gift OF the people.
Resotred That we are decidedly in favor of calling
State Convention, and we will vote for no man ol
set of men who are not pledged to do all in then
power for Immediate or Unconditional Emancipa
ton in the State of Maryland; and if allowed an op
portunity of attending the coming election, we viii
vote for and do all in our power to elect the ticke
| nominated by the Unconditional men of Allegheny
county to attend said State Convention.
ResoIred That if we held the faith of the part,

Dispatches from Cairo, dated Friday, state that
a Union train OF tive hundred and forty wagons,
while returning to Pine Bluff was captured by the
Rebels on the 18th ult, together with the escort,
under the command OF Col. Drake, comprising the
Twenty-sixth Iowa Regiment the Seventy seventh
Ohio Regiment, and the Forty third Indiana Reg
iment, with four pieces ofartlllery. zen. Steele
advance of cavalry reached Little Rock on the lst
inst. His main body was greatly harassed by the
Rebels during his retreat from Camden, and he
was compelled to destroy his trains and every bridge
behind him. On the 30th he crossed the Saline
River but before crossing he was attacked by
the Rebels under Gen. Fagen, and during the eve
ming portion Of the Rebel cavalry crossed above,
and proceeded within eight miles of Little Rock
causing considerable alarm there. Latest reports
from Little Rock assure us that both that place
and Pine Bluff are safe. Gen. Andrews, with three
hundred men, had arrived to strengthen the force
at Pine Bluh.
Gen. Sturgis' cavalry had fight near Bolivar,
Tenn on Monday last with the hebels under For
est. Our troops numbered 700, with two pieces OF
artillery those OF the enemy were 900. After
fight OF two hours, In which Gen. Sturgls lost on
ly two killed and ten wounded, the Rebels were
driven across the Hatchie River destroying the
bridge behind them Advices from Bnll' S Gap an.
nounce the destruction OF the East Tennessee and
Virginia Railroad for distance of Is miles between
Lick Greek and Greenyille, Tenn, by brigade o.
troops belonging to Gen. Cox command. Every
bridge and railroad tie in the whole extent of Il
miles was burned, and the road left in such con
dition that it cannot be repaired for months. Ano
ther expedition burned all the bridges on the roac
over the Watauga River, and tore up the entire
track at all points within their reach.
We have New Orleans dates to the 30th. 1t il
reported that a skirmish had taken place betwees
Grand Ecore and Alexandria Gen. Lucas, will
our rear guard, engaged the Rebels, under Whar
ton, two or three brigades strong, and fought hin
day and night for three days. We cleaned then
assed our force until within seven miles Of Alexan
dria. Our forces were under Gen. Emory.
