Important Movements in

THE FIGHT AT WHITE

of the Potomac, says:
As l write, another important movement
of this army Is being executed. General
Headquarters are to be moved at 9 o'clock
iu the morning. Of course any details al
present would be contraband. This move
ment must have been one of Meade's own
choosing, as we have. not and never could
be driven from our position there and the
public will be satisfied in understanding the
change to be prompted by prospects Of ad
vantages and not forced by necessity. The
utmost confidence prevails in the COM
mand.
LATER.-Since the above was written,
headquarters have been moved, and the
movement referred to at last accounts is be-
ing made.
WASHINGTON, JUNE 23-The Worlds spe>
cial advices from the army to yesterday
noon are at hand, and related almost wholly
to contraband intelligence.
A movement which premises important
results, is in progress, but it is not deemed
prudent to give any particulars for the
present.
The position of affairs around Petersburg
remains unchanged. We still retain all the
rebel works which our forces captured.
" Tribune's special headquarters Army oil
the Potomac, June 2lst says:
The troops Of the army of the Potomac
proper, are now disposed in semi>circular
line around the town, our left extending
across the Petersburg and Norfolk railroad
south, and the right resting on the Apo
mattox at the Mills House, four miles north
of the city.
Buffers forces occupy position on our
right and front to the north and westward
towards the Petersburg and Richmond
railroad. ..t l. .a,..H b..
Different opinions exist as to the number
of rebel troops lying in front of Peters
burg. |
1t is known that Beauregard's troops are
there as great majority of the prisoners
thus far represent themselves as belong to
his command.
Gen. Lees army, however, confront But.
ler. and is 80 disposed to defend any move
ment of Grant against the Petersburg and
Richmond rail road. The occupation OF
the road by our forces would undoubtedly
compel the abandonment of Petersburg
while at the same time it would hasten
the downfall of the rebel Capital.
Petersburg is the terminus of the Nor,
folk, Weldon and Lynchburg roads, and
once in our possession, with Gordonsvile
occupied by Hunter, and our cavalry con-
stantly cutting the Danville railroad, the
fall of Richmond, soon without further ag.
oressjye movements on our part becomes
simply matter Of time.
WASHINGTON. Juno ga special de-
spatch to the Times, from the Army of
the Potomac, dated Wednesday, June 22d,
says:
No serious fighting has occurred since
the night attack on Sunday. A wounded
officer, who arrived by the Lizzie Baker,
says Sheridan had fight on Tuesday with
Hampton ard Fitz Lee at White House.
The rebels being dismounted at first threw
our men into temporary confusion, but they
soon rallied md drove the rebels two miles.

The death Of Mrs. Louise Kirby Piatt,
wife of Col. Dom Piatt, and daughter OF

in the H0n,e JoW.ao! and we're speedily

Paris, enriched with observations on the
society and scenery Of the city, vivid and
sparkling with humor and wit, were col

The Press tells all amusing circum-
stance" which occurred at Lake City, dur
ing an address by Hon. JOHN M. GILMAN
A "lady" sprang to her feet and cried out
in shrill voice:
~ won't listen to YOU any lOnger-you've
told more than fifty lies in the last twenty
minutes" and she marched down the whole
length of the room to the door. Reaching
this point she turned around and gave Gilman
another "piece of her mind The audience
was composed two.thirds of Republicans She
addressed them as follows: You ought to be
ashamed of yourselves to sit there and listen
to such lies. If l was man wouldn't let
him talk so. You ought to follow my example
and leave the room at once"

which does it reflect the severest, the

ton of this "lady" for moment.

Treatment OF Servants,

BY Mrs. Stowe m October Atlantic.
As to the terms of social intercourse. it
seems somehow to be settled in the minds
Of many employers that their servants owe
them and their family more respect than
they and the family owe to the servants
But do theyr What is the relation of SER
want to employer in domestic country ?
Precisely that of person who for money
perfcrmes any kind Of service for YOU.
The carpenter comes into your house to
put up set Of shelves,-the cook comes
into your kitchen to cook your dinner.
You never think that the carpenter owes
you any more respect than you owe to
him because he is in your house doing
your behests; he is your fellow. citizen,
you treat him with respect, you expect to
be treated with respect by him. You
have a claim on him that he shall do your
work according tn your directions,
more. Now | apprehend that there is a
very common notion As to the position
and rights of servants which is quite diff
ferent from this. Is it not a common feel
ing that servant is one who may be
treated with degree of freedom by every
member OF the family which he or she may
not return? Do rot people feel at liberty
to question servants about their private
affairs, to comment on their dress and ap-
pearance, in a manner which they would
feel to be an impertinence, if reciprocated2
Do they not feel at liberty to express dis
satisfaction with their performances in
rude terms, to reprove them in the pres
ence of company, while yet they require
that the dissatisfaction of servants shall be
expressed only in terms of respect? A
woman would not feel herself at liberty to
talk to her milliner or dressnaker in lam
guage as devoid of consideration as she
will employ towards her cook or her
chambermaid. Yet both are rendering
her service which she pays for in money,
and one is no more made her inferior
threby than the other. Both have an
equal right to be treated with courtesy.
The master and mistress of house have
right to require respectful treatment
from all whom their roof shelters; but
they have no more right to exact it of SER
wants than Of every guest and every child,
and they themselves owe it as much to
servants as guests.
The complaint made OF Irish girls are
numerous and loud the faiIines of green
Erin, alas are but too open and manifest;
yet, In arrest of judgment, let us move
this consideration let us imagine our
own daughters between the ages of sixteen
and twenty-four, untaught and inexpe-
rienced in domestic affairs as they com
monty are, shipped to q foreign shore to
seek service in families 1t may be ques-
toned whether as whole they would do
much better. The girls that fill our fami-
lies and do our house-work, are often of
the age of our own daughters, standing
for themselves, without mothers to guide
them, in foreign country, ard not only
bravely supporting themselves, but send.
ing home in every ship remittances to i'm.
poverished friends left behind. If our
daughters did as much for US, should we
not be proud of their energy and heroism

ite'hlstory OF two souls is compassed in

hover around weddng-rings There is no
romance for those who can read it like
that of an old wedding-ring. The

such rings having been hawked about the

who gave the ring had not afterwards To

About Rings.

There are few people who take no inter-
est in the subject of rings. We all love
them-they seem, as a gift, so natural and
touching all emblem of another's affection ::
Of all the familiar objects of domestic
life, it may be remarked, none are so init
mately connected with our deepest feelings
and most cherished memories as rings.
The spousal ring touches the chords of all
that is noble and elevated in either sex it
is " the enchantment of human life" call
ing up devotion and chivalric tenderness in
man, and mellowing the kindly impulses
which draw the maiden to all that is good,
into the most intense and self-denying love
for one. Friendship and departed rela-
tives leave their mementoes with US in
rings. Who cares for ring that has no
fond memory clinging to it? The whole

THE late MARQUIS Of Waterford, of Ire
land. was in the habit Of riding in the sec
ond-class carriages of the railroad in his
vicinity. Such course very highly dis
gusted the proprietors, and they resolved
to cure the marquis, as they said, of his
eccentricity. Accordingly, On one occa-
sion. as he was sitting in second class
carriage, a sweep, who had previously been
in q third-class compartment, was invited
out, and placed by the marquiss side. His
lordship Immediately got out and purchased
trst-class ticket, on delivering which to
him the clerk laughed, as if the company
had gained victory. But Lord Water
ford quietly returned to the train, gave the
first-class ticket to the sweep, gravely es-
corted him to his place Of honor, and then
resumed his place in the second class car
riage, from which the proprietors never
again sought to remove him.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

This week is past; it's latest ray
Is vanished with the closing day
And It's as far beyond our grasp
It's now departed hours TO clasp,
As to recall the moment bright
When first creation sprung to light
The week is past 1t it has brought
Some beams of sweet and soothing thought :;
fit has left some memory dear
OF heavenly rapture tasted here,
II has not winged its flight in vain.
Although it nc'er return again.
