New YORK, May IL,

New YORK, May IL,
The Tribune says Gen. Grant was still
near Spottsylvania Court House on Mon
day, and that the enemy had been found
in force not far beyond, and that there
had been-though not general engage
ment---a good deal of severe fighting
A result either favorable or the reverse
seems to have been reached, because
Grant deemed it necessary to delay for
a day or two, either till supplies had
come up, or perhaps till Butler had re-
ported progress.
Gen. Sedgwick died at the head of his
corps by ball from a sharp shooter
(The death of this most able, gallant and
experienced general, with whose com
mand the Vermont Brigade have long
been identified, will cause a peculiar
and universal sadness among the people
of Vermont)
A still later dispatch from Buffers
expedition states that q battle was
fought by a portion of Gen. Smiths
corps against rebel force under Gen.
Beauregard in person that the latter
were beaten and driven three miles, and
that the railroad is in Buffers hands,
both north and south of Petersburgh.
A severe battle for the possession Of
Dalton was fought yesterday. A move
ment was in progress under Mcpherson
with intent to cut the railroad to At

To SOLDIERS AID SooIRrIRs.-An or-

cieties for immediate provision, SO lar
as posslble, for the wants of the wound

any former period of the war, And
they are wanted at once, Now Is the

the wants and suferings of the brave.
The New England women's Auxiliary
Association write, through the Execu-
tive Committee, TO Mrs, VIM. Y, Ripley

as follows .... .
We need not inform you OF the near

Sheets, shirts, and drawers, old linen

The Rebel Congress.

The rebel Congress met at Richmond
on Tuesday last, the Sd. The house re-
solved to appoint a committee to inquire
into the reported disloyalty to the con-
federacy of w. r. w. Cobb, member from
Alabama. From view of president
Davis message in the Wing we infer
that it is mostly devoted to complaints
against foreign powers for refusing to
recognize the independence of the con-
federacy. The president, speaking ex
eathedra, tells us that he sees no prospect
of an early change in the course hereto
fore pursued by. those the European)
governments. In his words, which are
true enough and forcible enough to COM
mend them to every citizen of the con-
federacy, it is enough for US to know
that every avenue of negotiation is clos
ed against us that our enemy is max
ing renewed and strenuous efforts for
our destruction, and that the sole re-
source for us, as a people secure in the
justice Of our cause and holding our lib
critics to be more precious than all other
earthly possessions, is to combine and
apply every available element of power
for their defense and preservation
The rebel president is eXultant over
the late successes Of his armies in Louis
lana and elsewhere, and predicts still
greater successes in Virginia and Geor-
gia. The condition of his armies he says
is all that could be desired. The cur
rency question is but slightly touched,
and the Congress is referred to the re-
port of Secretary Memminger, with
whom the problem is how to double the
rebel paper circulation without cheap
ening it.

VERMONT LOSSES. the general
rejoicings at the victories achieved by
the armies under Gen. Grant, Vermont is
called upon to mourn great losses among
her bravest sons. The LIST Vermont brig
ade was on Thursday and Friday, as it
has ever been found, in the hottest OF
the feht--the noblest compliment TO its
heroism, but attended with fearful sac
rifices The extent of its present losses
are not yet fully known, but may be
conjectured from the dispatch in our
Geographic columns, that only fee cbEcers
and ninety men of the 4th regiment are
left. The rest, if this statement is not
an exaggeration, as we hope it may be,
are either killed wounded, or prisoners.
The losses in the other regiments we
trust are much smaller. All will deeply
regret to learn that the gallant officers
named in the dispatches, Coils. Barney,
Foster, Stone, and Lewis, are among
the wounded; and the whole State will
mourn the gallant dead, whether officers
or privates, as her noblest and bravest
sons. May God comfort and sustain
those who are called upon to give up
dear ones, though it be in that noblest
of earthly causes the defense Of their
country.
In the very imperfect lists now report
ed, we find the following names, in ad-
dition to the above:

New YoRK, May 10,
The special 10 the world says;
Skirmishing took place at different
points of the line during the morning
and afternoon, but no serious demonstra-
ton has been made by either side. By
II o'clock our skirmishers advanced
and discovered that the enemy had re-
treated from their line of last night
1t is believed at headquarters that they
are withdrawing from our front. We
will advance before dark,
IL will be feint TO cover a movement
further south that is To take place dur
ing the night. How far south and in
what direction the army will move can
not now be disclosed. The enemy has
tried TO stand in Gen. Grants way, but
he pushed him out of 1t and before mora
ing will be marching rapidly towards
the point he set out for from Culpepper.
The cavalry corps, like the infantry,
has done its share of hard fighting. The
three divisions have been covering the
various roads leading TO our rear from
Fredericksburg and the region below.
They have encountered large bodies of
Stuart's cavalry almost daily, with ami
! form success, losing. up to the present
time, a total of about 100 killed and 300
wounded. The losses of the infantry
and artillery during the last three days
are estimated by the Medical Director of
the army at 1900 killed and 5000
wounded, aud the remainder missing, OF
these the I'd corps loses about 5000, the
5th and 9Th 5000 each, Burnside 700.

but that 1t is also duty accompanying
such right, to abide by andsupport who
ever shall fairly receive the nomination at
the hands of majority of the Conven-
ton. In no other way can the largest
liberty of choice, which they claim, be
practically reached. If the great mass
of the people, represented by a majority
in the Convention shall re-nominate MT
Lincoln, it will be no innovation
Washington, jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
and Jackson were re-nominated, The
people desired it. If they desire re-
nomination now, they have the right TO
IT, II not, they have an equal right 10
new candidate, and whatever may be the
result, all who have at heart the good OF
the country will cheerfully drop their
individual preference, if necessary, and
support the nominee of the majority.
There is no other course which would
not be fraught with the greatest danger
TO the country, at time like this when
the party for the Union should itself be
a unit .
The Troy Times, by the way, says it
understands the programme Of the
Cleveland Conventionists to be to meet
for consultation, and then adjourn to
Baltimore to hold a session there about
the time of the meeting Of the Union Ma
tional Convention. We submit whether
such course would not subject them to
the great danger apprehended by them
for the regular Convention, OF too close
proximity to Washington The Times
further thinks that the regular Conven-
ton will adjourn without action to Au-
gust or September Such we hope may
be the case. Neither the friends of Mr..
Lincoln, nor the friends of any other
candidate, should do what may have the
appearance of endeavoring to force their
choice upon the Convention and it is
barely possible that the situation may be
such in August or September as to rem
der Mr.. Lincoln's denomination, now so
generally desired, unadvisable. In this
national crisis let all be done on all sides
that may be, in the way Of mutual con-
cession, for the promotion of harmony
and union.

GEN. BUFFERS MYsTIFICATIoN MOVE
MENT.--A correspondent Of the New
York Times, writing from James River
on Thursday, says:
That Yorktown and Gloucester Point,
both at the mouth of York river, should
have been selected for the rendezvous of
these troops naturally led to the suppo-
sition that an advance was intended to
be made up the peninsula. That the as
surance of deception might be made
doubly sure, a brigade of Union troops
was dispatched by Gen. Butler as late
as Wednesday to White House land
ing, where, at sunset. when we last heard
from them, they were sedulously en-
gagged in telling timber and constructing
a wharf as if preparing to facilitate the
landing of large army to aid in this
scheme of mystifcation. All the light
draft steamers were kept until the last
moment at Fortress Monroe, whence
early Wednesday morning they were dis
patched to the York river and the work
of embarking the troops, whose ar
rangements for the purpose had been al
ready made, was begun promptly. Soon
after the shades of evening closed over
the camping ground, the last tent was
struck and the troops all on board. Gen.
Buffers order to his subordinate gener-
ais made it incumbent for them to repair
to Hampton Roads as quickly as posi-
BILE after dark, where they were to an
Choir for the night. At daybreak the Or

his own ground. On Sunday morning
the battle was renewed, and we drove
the rebels down to Pc river; the whole

The NEW COMMANDER IN LOUISIANA
Major General Edward R. s. Candy has
been appointed to the command of the
department Of Louisiana and Arkansas
vice Major General Banks and Steele
Gen. Candy was born in Kentucky about
the year 1919. He graduated at West
Point in 1889, in the same class with
Gen. Halleck. He entered the United
States regular army the same year as
Second Lieutenant of infantry. In 1916
he was made First Lieutenant, and the
next year was appointed Assistant Ad-
jutant General on Gen. Riley's staff
He served with distinction during the
3. Mexican war, and was promoted to the
full rank of Captain in 1851. In 1858,
he commanded in Utah Territory. When
the regular army was increased under
the proclamation of President Lincoln,
Gen. Candy was appointed Colonel of
of the Nineteenth regiment of infantry,
with rank and commission from May
14th, 1861. In November, 1861, New
Mexico was made into department,
and Col. Candy placed at it's head. He
was promoted to the rank of Brigadier
General, on the 31st of March. 1852
During the exciting times of the New
York riots he was, on July II, 1868,
made commander Of all the United
States troops in the city and harbor of
New York, and by his energetic meas
ures, at once aided in restoring the
peace and order of that city. Gen. Can
by retired from that post last November,
and during the early part of the present
year, formed one Of the committee Sc
lected to revise the Articles of War,
after which he again returned to his Of
fetal duties at the War Department,
from which he has been relieved to take
this important command, and with an
increased rank.

The Star says a messenger arrived
tonight from the army, who left Spots
ylvania at IL o'clock, and came on horse
back to Acqua Creek, and thence came
up on gun-boat At l. o'clock yester-
day heavy fight was going on at
Spottsylvania Court House. We held
the place at that hour, and Lee gave
evidence of being weakened and Of fall
ing back. The messenger had an escort
of $50 cayalrymen, and as guerrillas
were frequently encountered upon the
way, it is not improbable that many Of
the escort were captured when returning
to the army.
