GEN. LEE PARpoNs.-rhe Richmond corr
respondent of the Columbus SIN says that
General Lee %pardorcd the other day, just as
the sentence was about to be executed, q de-
serter, condemned to De shot. His reason for
so doing was to. encourage the wivcs4of all
soldiers to act as the wife of this maj had
done. When the officers came ip search Of
him she promptly delivered Linn up, saying
it was her duty. in spite of her love for him.
and the suffervgs and hardships she endured
10 consequence, Of his absence, TO send him
back to the array, that SO mach needed him
in this hour Of tie lcountry's tribuIation. For
her sake. GeneralLee spared him. Let other
wives take note.

Lees Position and StreBth.

WAsH1NGToN,-April 25.--The Star
Of this afternoon says, information from
the rebel lines an late as Friday NOR.
Mug last, is to the effect that Lee is not
as has been reported, moving towards
the Shenandoah Valley, but is in,,his old
position on the Rapidam. Such move
ments Of bis cavalry as were going on,
seemed to be in the nature of %reconnois.
sances to ascertain Grants purposes
Lees army is preparing for a sudden
move, but seemingly disposed to wait
for Grant to open and develop his game
The movement of u g%unboats up the
Rappahannock raised an alarm in Rich
mond, that Burnside was effecting a
landing there; and a new alarm has
been raised among the rebels OF a
movement up the south side of James
River. The rebels are de,ided be-
tween the fear that Lee may be inves-
ted in Richmond, should he fall back
there, and the fear that he may be out
tlanked by Grant, should he remain in
his present position.
Two weeks ago Lees forces amoun-
ted to 10000 men, and it is believed
now that with the reiptorcements he is
able to bring up, they do not amount
to over SIS 900.

ST LOUIS, April 80 -Adv;ces from Cam

Thayer'- Joined Steele at Elkin's Ferry, on
little Missouri, where the Rebels were driven
from the line Of breastwofks commanding
the bottom.
The enemy next stood at Prairie Dawn,

Gen. Steele hsnked his position. Price
s~kedaddeled alter a brisk fight towards
Washington.
Other skirmiShes occurred during the
march, but our total less was less than 200
Price supposed Steel was going to Shreve'
port via Washington, and moved his com.
mand from Camden to Washington.
After the fight at Prairie Dawn, Steele
purpnsd the Rebels a few miles toward
Washington, and then turned and pushed
tor Camden. Price discovered his mistake
and started for Camden also. A desperate
race ensred, md although heavy skirmish
ing occurred oil the way, Msrmaduke being
in front OF Docki' g, drew near with cavalry
and artillery, Steel came out the victor and
entered the enemies Qualifications u~nopposed
Camden was strongly fortified with 6
forts All approaches will be guarded and
can be held aga inst largely superior forces.
Large Rebel transports were captured &C
miles below Camden. and understood were
reinforcement supplies going overland from
Little Rock to Gen. Steele, be not being able
to draw his from Gen. Banks.
Gen. Steele's forces number 10000 strong
and no fears are entertained Of his safety.

How war. P~eSiilencc is Ec-aGra-
tcd-Y'ke SfaOlIy Plague.

The New York Herald, Of a recent date
had an article calling atten ion to the nu.
merous diseases, with which the land is
now afflicted, and investigates the way in
which they are generated. Among other
suggestions, it says:
Can it be that a shoddy plague is creep,
ing stealthily into our midst?-some un
known terror, which medical science has not
contemplated or provided for; a combina
ton Of diseases, originating from a cause
hitherto not existing in this country; the
pc ison OF tho hospitals and The battle field,
conveyed in the form of shoddy fannels and
shoddy muslin goods?
We believe there is no doubt that the ma
terials OF which these articles are composed
come mainly from these sources. We have
it on the authority Of one OF the managers OIL
a prominent shoddy factory in Pennsylvania
that the shirts, blankets, ard even the ban.
dages, of the wounded, dead and diseased,
both in the field and in the hospitals, are re.
ceived there actually moist with blood and
corruption, and in this state are torn into
shreds IN the machines, and manufactured
into shoddy f~lannels, blankets and cotton ma
terial. II this be true, then the shoddy man.
u'acturers cutvie in their hideons but profit
able trade, the exultation Of the wretch
ChowlesI in his subterranean orgies, as Aims
worth describes him, during the plague o.
London.
Such material injected as it must be witt
the virus Of all kinds Of disease small po2
of course included-lor we must not suppose
that the harpies who follow this line OF bust
ness are at all scrupulous = must f~earfully al
feet the system OF those who wear them, be
cause the natural heat Of tho body will ne
cessarily extract the poison. We trust tina
the mysterious diseases which now stfiict The
community may be traceable to some less hor
rible and inhuman cause; but we trust alst
that the medical faculty. will diligently in
