sIgePs March.

Our special dispatches bring the in
telligence that Sigel has occupied
Lynchburg and cut the Danyille Rail
road. At Lynchburg he strikes the
railroad to Tennessee, which here con-
meets with two railroads, one running
northeast through GordOnsville to the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad, and
striking at Gordonsville the Virginia
Central Railroad from Richmond; the
other running nearly east to huntsville,
from which there is one Railroad to
Richmond, and another through Pc
tersburg to City Point
Sigel was at Winchester last Sunday.
From Winchester to Lynchburg, is a.
bout 40 miles by an air line, and not
less than 100 by the roads. The Dan
vile Railroad is about forty miles east
of Lynchburg, running. southwest from
Richmond and connecting at Green's
boro, North Carolina, with the interior
system of railroads of North and South
Carolina. To Lynchburg would be an
extraordinary march, and to this rail
road so much the more extraordinary.
This movement is a most effective one
on the resources and communications
Of the rebellion. Lynchbufg has from
the first been regarded by intelligent
military writers as a strategic point oil
first rate Importance. Besides, it is the
center Of a large productive region in
the heart of Virginia, which has proba-
bly, furnished more food to the rebel
army than any other territory of equal
Il 81 -,
been hallowed by the foot of a National
soldier. Here the farmers imagined
that they were secure from the APP
proach of war.
From Lynchburg to City Point
is l23 miles by railroad, about the same
to Richmond. This movement shows
that Grant did not expect Sigel's troops
to Join him in the fight with Lee, but
that he is finishing up the rebellion in
its entire breadth as he goes along
With Lynchburg and the Danville road
in our possession, Lees army is restrict
ed to a district on the coast. compris
ing not more than one-third of the
State, and it begins to look now as il
we should hold all the lines of railroad
out of Richmond, and bring our ana
conda around it with short turn.
This movement develops the advant
ages of occupying the Valley of Nir
ginia, and of making that the route
for one of our columns in a campaign
against the South, which some intelli
gent writer's have pointed out from the
first, and which Lee has twice demon
strated in his invasions of the North
although he lacked either sufficient
force or resolution to carry out the uu,
dertakings. Driven from the coast and
from Richmond, but holding the in
terror, the rebels, with their army I'M
broken, could still keep up the contest
but with the interior in our possession
we finish the Confederacy as we &c
along.-Cfn Gazette.

0alEIds the Pale.


o vanished years! we sigh IN vain,
For vanished years come not again.
Outside the pale we stand and wait
The turning Of the fatal gate.
But wait in vain for, turning once,
1t shuts out statesman, scholar, Ounce.
Or maiden fair, or beldame old,
Are all outside the welcome fold.
Beyond the lines the meadow sweeps,
Beyond the lines the river leaps.
Across the path the sunshine plays
All through the smiling summer days.
And blue skies bend above them all,
And squirrels twit ard sparrows call.
And violets and daisies yield
Their spotted glories il the field.
And yet, and yet our spirits fail,
Because we stand outside the pale
Outside the pale, because of years
Time has borne of in shrouded biers.
Till we have touched the further shore,
No more, no more, @ vanished daysl
No more, no moreS o vanished ways!
We see the sunshine on the hills,
We see the lilies by the rills.
As from afar with what avail
The while we stand outside the pale.
The world is a schoolmaster stern
And all the lessons we may learn.
And all the weary tasks Of life
Leave little knowledge, save of strife.
And lotus land is travelled soon,
With little dust on staff or shOOn.
Ere pilgrim young is pilgrim old,
And plodding on through heat and cold,
Till heat grows weak and spirits fail,
And hope is lost-0utside the Pale.

shorter than the circuitous route thro
Washington, Pittsburgh and lndianap-
oils, and much shorter, also, than the
rebel line through Charleston and At
lanta.
Under the light Of the above inter
probation the object of the expedition
rises into something worthy of the three
years bitter experiences we have had
in the art and practice of war; if it is
merely one Of the old, silly raids" to
cut for few days the railroad, and
nothing else, then it is simply contemp-
tible. To attempt to hold the railroad
to Richmond defiant on one side, and
thousand miles of transportation to
Louisville on the other, while rations
are hauled out to the foot Of the Ale
ghenies in wagons and packed on mules
the remainder Of the distance, IS to 60

1t may not be contraband to say that
when General Averell was last heard
from, on the 4th, he was at Logan
Courthouse, and met no opposition.
There are various absurd rumOrs as to
the doings Of General Crook, but the
last certain intelligence brought from
him was that he was quietly moving on
beyond the Narrows of New River.
Communication with the rear is entire

Correspondence Of the Baltimore American
ANNAPOLIS, May 10, 1864.
The flag of-truce boat New York, in
charge of Major John E. milford,
reached Annapolis about six o'clock
yesterday morning, from Aikens Land
ing, few miles below Fort Darling, on
the James river, with four hundred pa
rolled men and seven officers, recently
released from the dungeons and prison
houses of Richmond. The late move
ment of General Butler up the James
had so completely taken the Rebel au-
thorities at City Point and vicinity by
surprise that they were all captured,
and our boat had to go up from there
to Aikens' Landing, where the Rebel
steamers were met and the exchange
effected The condition Of the men is
much better than those by the two or
three last arrivals; but still it is deplo-
rable. About eighty of the men were
Immediately on their landing transfer
red to one of the hospitals. All were
furnished with a new outfit for their d.
lapidated and very lively rags, and af-
ter undergoing q thorough cleansing at
the College Green Hospital presented a
very different appearance than when
they landed. They all bear witness to
the cruelties and horrors inflicted upon
them by their late jailers, and many
say that never again will they be ia
ken prisoners, death being far prefera-
bic to life in the hands of the Rebels as
a soldier of the Union.
Several of the passengers by the New
York confirm the reports published in
the American of the successes of the
expedition against Richmond comman-
ded by Generals Smith and Butler, the
grand object of which is to cut off all
the communications between Richmond
and the "Confederacy." When the
New York left the James river on Sat
urday everything was progressing fine
". None of the Richmond papers
were allowed to come North, all the pri-
soners being carefully searched, to dis
cover if they had any in their posses
sion. The widest excitement exists in
Richmond, and many of its people are
endeavoring to leave. The general i'm
preston is that il will have to be aban-
doned by the military authorities,
should Lee be forced from the north of
the city as they have not provisions
enough to stand a siege for any length
of time All bids fair for the success
of the "Old Flag and that speedily.
Portions Of the wreck of the gun
boat Commodore Jones, a small and
trifing affair, were passed in the James
by he New York. She was literally
blown 10 pieces.

THE FATE OF DUKE ALBERTO.


THE FATE OF DUKE ALBERTO.
Some two centuries ago there lived in
Milan, in Italy, a certain Duke Alberto.
His palace was in the city, almost within
the shadow of the far-famed cathedral,
while his enormous possessions covered
leagues of land in every direction. In
person he was remarkably handsome, a
giant in strength in mind he was cum
ming, shrewd, sufficiently well educated
for his social position in morals he was
INSCRIPTIONS, wicked ard revengful. He
had immured his wife in one of his coun-
try castles, in order to have her out of
the way of his daring and licentious
pleasures. In fac was rumored thro'-
out the city that he had murdered her
but, owing 10 his wealth and power, the
authouues never Instituted an invesuga-
ton. His days and nights were passed
in revelling with lewd women and para
site eourtiers. His amcurs seemed to be
the turning point of his existence, the
whole end and aim of his ambition.
Such, in brief, was the character of
the duke. With his tenants he was care
less and liberal, caring but little about
the amount of his income, provided il
was sufficient TO enable him to support
and crafty his three great passions Of
wine, woman and play, His principle
associate and companion was one Guido
TomaselIi, a libertine and spend thrift
of the frsi water Whenever the duke
proposed an adventure, TofnaselIi was
ever ready TO assist and cooperate with
him. If lady was 10 be abducted, a
nuunery broken into, or a castle sacked
he was ever willing TO obey the behests
of his master In age he was about
fifty years, while the duke scarcely num-
bered thirty. He was wealthy and
powerful, and was even more dreaded
than Alberto. The gray hairs that plen-
tifully sprinkled his hair and beard
brought with them no visdom-his long
experience brought with it no discretion
He had been married, hut his wife had
long been dead, and from the momen, Of
her death he abandoned himself 10 the
world, the flesh and the devil
Such are the two principal personages
with whom we have TO deal IN the follow
ing narrative. A more charming pair Of
Don Juans cannot be found in all history.
Returning home late one night they
had to pass the cathedral. 1t was light
ed, and from lis vast depths poured forth
the musical volume of a requiem mass.
''By my soul, Guido, said the duke,
"this is strange! What noble lord or
lady has departed this life and now IL

the repose of his or her soul 2 Let Us

the seat of Government Of the "confed-

THE CITY OF RICHMOND.

Richmond, by the last census, had a
population Of $4,000 souls, but the great
er influx Of civil and military officers

from its mouth. The city occupies a most
picturesque situation. being built on
Richmond and Shocloe hills, which are
