THE LATE GENERAL STEvENSoS.-Among the
more prominent losses on the Federal side i'll the
battles of the Wilderness, we are called upon to
record that Of General Stevenson. He was son
of j. Thomas Stevenson, q leading citizen of Bos'
ton where he also leaves wide circle of personal
friends. He graduated ut Harvard, and even be-
fore the breaking out of the rebellion took an &C.
tive interest in military affairs, having been a
Major in the Fourth Battalion, a favoritc Boston
organization General Stevenson entered the
present war as Colonel of the Twenty-fourth
Massachusetts regiment, which formed part OF
General Burnsides force in the North Carolina
expedition. Subsequently, General Stevenson
was sent still further South and commanded the
reserve Mt the attack on Fort Wagner. In the
present campaign, he commanded the First Brig.
ade of the First Division of Burnside's corps.
General Stevenson was but twenty eight years
old at the time of his death, but had lived long
enough to win fine reputation as a soldier and
do much good service for the country in whose
defense he laid down his life

LOUIS NAPOLEON AS A GENERAL. - The last
number of Blackwood has an elaborate review Of
the French Emperor's campaign in Italy, in which
the writer expresses the following personal con-
illusions: at is a common thing to see generals,
though regardless of their personal safety, yet
nervOuSly alive to the risk Of engaging. Subse
quent events seem to confirm this view of the
Emperor's character. On the 5th of June he
hesitated, though with superior numbers, and in
the face Of a beaten enemy, to renew the contest
or to pursue. He equally failed o follow the re-
firing foe from Solferino; and lastly, when
another great pitched battle was imminent, he
made his overtures for peace, forgetting alike his
own proclaimed intention and the interest of his
ally Should he, then, take the field in another
war, we should expect that his combinations
would be well calculated, his movements method.
ical and accurate, but we should doubt the reso-
luton not of the man, but of the general; and we
should expect that, opposed to skilful and reso-
lutte adversary, prompt and ready to fight, he
might play for n high stake and lose It,

BUIDING.-The " sound Of axe, hammer
and tools Of iron," is quite noisy in our town
at present. Beside quite number of small
dwellings in process Of erection in the " out
squirts," there is considerable building along
the line Of Main street. The large Turn
verein Hall is enclosed, and is all done but
finishing" the foundation of the Imperial
Hotel is nearly completed; Mr.. McMartin is
rebuilding his saddlery establishment, de-
stroyed in the April FIRE; and Mr.. Butsch is
to-day clearing off the lot where his late shop
stood, preparatory to rebuilding. He will
build narrower upon the street, but extend
his shop to a much greater distance rearward.
He will have a temporary structure up, and
be at work in four or FIVE days.

SOMETHING NEW IN SHIP BUILDING.-Ariel
Patterson, at the foot of North Third street,
Brooklyn, E. D., is now building lighter which
will not contain single particle of metallic fast.
eniug, The frame work of the vessel consists of
oak plank diagonally placed and bent to run from
bulwark to bulwa ark in n single piece. These are
held in place by compressed locust treensails,
thus doing away with the spike and copper nails
ordinarily used, and which rapidly corrode and
rust The lighter will be completed in about two
weeks and is warranted to do three times the
usual service of that kind of craft.-Ne0 York

RIcE-Rice was introduced into South Carroll.
ma by mere accident In l69 the master of a ves-
sci from Madagascar landed about half bushel
of an excellent kind, from which small beginning
sprung up an immense source Of wealth, both to
the agriculturalists and merchants of the South
ern States. Within little more than half q CEN
fury from that time 10000 barrels of rice were
exported In one year from South Carolina, and
1900 from Georgia, all from the remnant of sea
store left in the bottom of sack.

THE SITUATIoN.-The Alta thus sums up the
situation at last accounts: Lee is trying to turn
Grants right flank at Cold Harbor. The object
of the movement is to cut our armies off from
their base and drive them over the route which
Mcclellan once followed. On the other hand,
Grants object is to turn Lees left and force him
into the same position, where for him surrender
cannot be avoided Cold Harbor, under these
circumstances, becomes the vital point of the
campaign for both armies, so long as the lines
last reported are maintained

arrived.
The news from America created great sensa-
ton. The news was generally regarded as disas.

clined five to six per cent. Laird's rams have
been purchased by the British Government.
The Duke of Malakoff (Pelisser) is dead.
NEW YORK. June 6.-The news of the battles
in Virginia has caused profound sensation in
England. The people were astonished at the
magnitude of the losses. Some of the papers
think Grant was defeated in his object Of an adj
vance upon Richmond; Others that the battles
were indecisive, and that the Federals paid too
dear for their victory, if they gained any.
The pirate Georgia was announced for sale at
Liverpool by private party. The crew were
paid of and the stores sold at auction.
The Times thinks that If Grant captures Rich.
mond the rebel cause is not lost. Its downfall
will be at great loss of life to the Federals.
