The Richmond Examiner Of May &c tells us Of
the miseries Of the people In the rebel capital,
and correspondent Of the same paper, writing
from Atlanta, tells the same story for the
people at the other extremity OF the Confede-
racy. These descriptions Of she condition OF the
people at those Two important points are GER
tainly reliable. They are not the descriptions
Of intellige' ccntrabands, OF refugees or de-
scrters; but they are the calm ut.aranoes Of
q journel that has done its utmost to bolster
up the rebellion; that has lied for the Southern
cause with the utmost impudeucs from the
commencement, but that cannot pretend 70

observation.

ssOn % ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS her Battle and
Another Victory.
We have the gratifying intelligence from
General Grant this morning that ON Monday
evening last the rebels made sudden dash upon
Warren's corps, but that they suffered bloody
rspulss, which resulted IN advancing Warren
10 the position which the enemy had occupied,
and within seven miles Of Richmond. General
Grant says the enemy were easily repulsed;"
from which It 10 evident that tho prestige and
the strength Of Leo and his army are broken,
and that our gallant cid Army Of the Potomac,
for Ill its tolls and labors and sufFerings, 10
about 10 be rewarded with the browning
achievement Of the war-the capture u the
rebel capital.
General Lee, In this attack Of Monday even
Ing, saw that, though . desperate experiment.
the opportunity Of doubling up and pushing
back our advancing columns was the best that
be could hope for. 4 shows, too, that be has
no faith IN thoss three tiers Of Notifications in
which RIchmosd Il enclosed, but that he sus-
pech those works, should be retreat behind
them, will only prove snare to bis army and

Lee has undertaken his old game Of beating
back his adversary, IL possible, before he
shall have advanced his guns within
shelling distance Of tho " Executive Mansion"
OF Jen. Davis. But how feeble ID this surprise
attempted BY Ewell compared with tho crush
ing descent Of Stonewall Jackson, with hid
solid column Of forty thousand men, upon The
extreme right Of our army In 1882. Eweli, il
would appear, Is now the main reliance Of Lee;
but from the Rapidan 10 Richmond he has met
with nothing but dimppointments and defeats
and Lee has not been able to turn the tide q

We may expect now that, with the junction
| Of Badly Smiths column with General Grant
The advance upon Richmond wiz be pushed
forward at the poiat Of the bayonet until the
rebels are brought 70 bay within their fortihcs
tions, or are driven to the complete abandon
mens Of the city. General Grant has completely
turned the tables upon the enemy in this cam
paign. In 1861, 1862 and 1868 the fata
policy Of our military operations in vir
glnia, under the guidance Of the Washington
Directory, was to scatter our srmis'

S@D THEM TO LoNDoN.-Mr. Memminger, the
Secretary Il the JED. Davis Treasury, was to
have sold at public auction On May IL some
very desirable property-bonds Of tho rebel
government. These bonds were part Of FIVE
hundred million loan; but the rebel govern
ment didn't want to dispose Of the whole loan
at once, and SO only offered for sale . mere
bagatelle Of Eve millions. These bonds offered
great advantages for the investment Of money.
They had "thrty years to rum" they were Sc
cured by pledges of import and export duties;
both principal and interest we're free from tax
alton; they bore six per cent interest, payable
half yearly, and the coupons were equal to
coin "by law" On the day on which these
bonds were to have been sold Memminger's
star was very clearly in the ascendant; for
just before Il, in time for the news to reach
Richmond on that day. the rebel armies
had gained great victories. Johnston had
pounded Sherman terribly, and then, "by q
ruse," gotten him into Ressacca-and left him
there. Lee had just driven Grant from the
Wilderness to Spottsylvanis Court House.
Some-fve or six-of the victories that Lee
discoursed of in bis general order Of the 14th
were won on that very 18th day Of May. Rich
mond was, of course, jubilant on that day, and
the people wanted the new bonds awfully, and
yet Memminger has since announced to the rebel
Congress that military necessities prevented
the sale" Alas for Memminger! This means
that nobody would buy the bonds. Perhaps
the people in Richmond didn't believe in the
victories. Stupid people! But II Memminger
will send his bonds to London they will buy
them there.

hence they are bitter In their comments
upon the offending Justice and CHIEF.
Gen. Dix's timely oraer was received
here about six o'clock, Dec. 18th, and
gave great delight to the American sym
pathlzers In the city. A few of the well
known "secesh" clamored against IT,
but the thinking portion OF the people
declared II was no moro than could be
expected, after such an outrageous de-
cision as that of Coursols.
We also learn from the Montreal Wit
ness that on Wednesday evening last, at
q meeting of the City Council Of Mont
real, Mr., Devlln brought to the atten-
ton of the Board the conduct of Gull
laume Lamothe, Chief of Police, An In
vestigation was had, from which 1t APP
peared that Lamothe had consulted le-
gal friends, and In accordance with their
advice, when the judgment of thsccurt
was rendered, he delivered the money
mp to the prisoners. The Chief stated
frankly enough thatihe knew the day be-
fore that the prisoners would be liberia
ted that day how he knew was his
business he therefore took the precau
ton 10 so TO the bank and get the
money to be veady when the judgment
was rendered to give 1t to the raiders
also that he had asked Mr.. Carter who
told him that he should give the money
up if the men were discharged, and ha6
asked Mr.. Carter to speak to judge
Coursol on the subject, and that HI
Judge CoursoD had also told him h
should give up the money.
