MARK TAPLEY IN AN AMBULANcE.-The
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Traveller is responsible for this story of
an Irish soldier of the Union army
Il noticed in an ambulance, as the
regiment was passing, a soldier lying
down and resting on one arm, with a
Zouave cap in his hand wave it repeat
eddy and cheer as loud as his faint voice
would permit. From curiosity and adj
miration Of the brave fellow, ques-
toned him as to the regiment he be-
longed to, and he answered in a genuine
rich Irish "brogue": THE l43d Fan
ians, of New York, Colonel MacMa-
hon, sir" He had his foot anputated
little above the ankle, and l remarked
that it was very severe wound. Yis,
in troth, it is hard thing for man to
lave half his anaerstandia' on the field
but, begar, it's thankful to God am
that the Johnny Rebs didn't take my
rason." His companion in the ambulance
said, in laugh thatevidently hurt him,
for he had frightful wound in his
right side, Con, l believe you'll die
with joke on your lips" WE'LL"
said he, II hope I'll have my pipe along
wild it,"

Coon FOR YEAMAN.-Mr. Yeaman, of
Kentucky, COMPOUNDED the opposition in
the House during the debate upon the
contested election in his district. The
Democrats complained of the arbitrary
acts of the "pig-headed Burnside" in is
suing an order forbidding disloyal per-
sons in Kentucky to vote. Mr. Yeaman
responded by reading the order Of Gen.
Mcclellan to Gen. Banks, when the lat
ter was in command in Baltimore, di-
recting him to prevent the tories in that
State from voting. OF the two orders,
McClellan's was more emphatic and ar
bitrary.

A NEAT SPEECH BY THE RUSSIAN AD-
MIRAL.-Admiral Lesoffsky, commander
of the Russian fleet now in this country,
is very intelligent man, as are most OF
his officers, and has quite a good COM
mand of the English language. At the
banquet given In Boston, Tuesday night,
in honor of the officers of the fleet, the
admiral made, the following handsome
speech in response to toast to the en-
peror:
"Mr. Mayor and Conference.-The may
or has just told me to say few words.
am not a speaker, and | am afraid to
speak because | want to give vent to the
feelings of gratitude which feel in COM
mon with my brother officers. This
week has been a week full of events
mean of events for our feelings. We
have experienced the most cordial hospi-
tality of you, gentlemen. We have
been introduced to those of your insti:
buttons whose philanthropy soothes the
suffering of mankind. These are the
most thrilling sensations. We have
been introduced into your schools
where you prepare citizens to be your
statesmen and to be your defenders in
the hour of trial. (Applause.) We
have received so many tokens of your
friendship from you that | think this
intelligence will be heard by you with
feelings of pleasure when tell you that
since emancipation has been proclaimed
by his majesty the emperor, not less
than four thousand schools have been
established by the people themselves.
(ApplauSe,) These serfs, who | regret
to say were short time ago but little
more than beasts of burden, have made
of themselves, without support from the
government four thousand schools.
Now, gentlemen, / cannot better illus
trate the feelings with which we are an
mated toward you than to repeat
to you scene of which | have
been a witness day before yesterday,
when l went on board my flagship, the
Alexander Nevesky, at New York, which
is about to leave for Europe. The Off
GERS were at dinner party-in our own
family There was not single Amer
lean among us, and, among the toasts
proposed, prominent one was toast
of gratitude to the Americans and a
wish for the prosperity Of your country
That family was we who have ex-
perienced your hospitality and good
wishes, for which we are most grateful.

and Official trust those only who cor
daily indorse the principles proclaimed
In these resolutions and which should
characterize the administration OF the
government. fe4g
Resolped, That the government owes to
all men employed in its armies, without
regard to distinction of color, the null
protection of the laws of war (applause)
and that any violations of these laws or
of the usages of civilized nations In the
time of war by the rebels now in arms
should be made the subject OF full and
prompt redress.
Resolped, That the foreign immigration
which In the past has added so much to
the wealth and development of resources
and increase of power to this nation, the
asylum Of the oppressed of all nations
should be fostered and encouraged by
liberal and just policy.
Resolved That we are in favor of the
speedy construction of the railroad to
the Pacific.
Resolved, That the national faith
pledged for the redemption of the public
debt must be kept inviolate, and that for
this purpose we recommend economy
and rigid responsibility in the public
expenditures, and vigorous and just
system of taxation that 1t is the duty
| of every loyal state to sustain the credit
and promote the use of the national cur
rency.
Resolved, That we approve the position
taken by the government that the people
| of the United States can never regard
with indifference the attempt of any
European power to overthrow by force
or to supplant by fraud the institutions
Of any republican government on the
Western Continent prolonged applause)
and that they will view with extreme
jealousy, as menacing to the peace and
independence of this our country, the
efforts of any such power to obtain new
footholds for monarchical governments,
sustained by foreign military force in
near proximity to the United States.

Washington, June 5, 1864.
My Dear Sir know from repeated
conversations with Gov. Chase that he
has no desire connected with the actor
of the Convention, except that the mani

nomination of the President be faithful
ly executed by the Convention, and that
its declaration of principles be explicit
and decided. In this opinion l heartily
concur. You are authorized to say this
much for either of us to any one who
would be affected by our opinion.
