/. GRANTS SAvAGEs.-We areinformed by
one of our scouts, who has been behind the
lines of the enemy, that their conduct in Is
sex, Spotsylvania agd Caroline has been most
atroeious-exceediSg in villainy,if possible,
their outrages heretofore in other parts OF the
country. The house of Mr.. WIN. Boul%arc,
of Essex County, was burned, and all Ills
property destroyed. His mother, venera-
ble and estimable lady, eighty years old, was
murdered by negroes belonging to Grants
army. Murder. arson, robbery and outrages
Of every. character marked the progress of the
scoundrels calling themselves soldiers. FouT
villains, arrested while attempting 10 outrage
the person of most respectable young lady,
are now awaiting their just doom. Why they
were permitted to polute heearth witathe
living carcasses for an instant .lt.r they were
in our power, we cannet imagine. Prisoners
of war should be treated with all kindness.
when engaged in Legitimate warfare; but
when caught burning mills, dwellings, or 9th
er private property, robbns citizens, commit
ting outrages on females, or wantonly destroy
ing the provisions of individuals, no mercy
should be shown to them. The fate of the
pircte and the mad dog should be visited upon
The wretches, until their leaders are taught
to respect. in some drgree, the laws that gov
ern civilized nations Richmond Sentinel.

rlimentary allusions to Capt: JAS. L.BurIER
an elder brother of the, gallant Gen. NJ. e
BUTLER, and who las resided for number
years beyond the Mississippi. The many
friends of Capt. B. will lie glad to hear from
him in his Western home, knowing full well
however that he will ever lie found fighting
in the cause Of freedom, right and justice SO
long as these inaiiensble rights are denied
him. Tie Enterprise says:

.Brigalier General John e. Vaughn, who
has marched through East Tennessee, and is
now engaged in destroying the railroad in
Sherman's rear, was the Sheriff of Monroe
County, Tenn, when tho war began. His
personal courage is unsurpassed, and his ser
vice in Me1ica, and in every part Of the Con-
federacy, from the first day Of the revolution,
has mado him sIillful official Like Forrest
every battle with him i, personal struggle.
His soldiers say that he killed eighteen men
in single Gght.with Woolford's cavalry, last

Vaughn's home, and drove his wife and chill
dren into the mountains: LIE has come down

A correspondent of the Macan Telegraph
gives tie following process for making " CoR-
tede.ste sugar" As there is likely TO be q
great quantity of syrup made from the Chi
nese sugar cane this year, the mode OF con-
y,rtiug il into sugar is worthy of being
known:
The process is Simple and easy, and as
plain as the " handwriting on the wall" In
the first place, the cano must not only be
rire, but fully ripc-and the best test OF ITS
ripene.s is the hardness and britt!eEess OF lts
seed, never being governed by its general ap-
nearance. It is my opinion that the prime
cause Of thin, dstk, sour syrup, is owihs to
the greenness of the cane from Which 1t is
made.
the Juice boiled in .he usual way. After j,

Capital
Correspondence of the New York News
WASHINGTON, June |, 1864.
The state of feeling here in regard to the
progress which Gen. Grant Is making to>
wards Richmond, is not one OF unmixed sat
isfaction. The Administration and ITS
agents of both high and low degree, crow
loudly, and profess to see nothing IN the
prospect but certain, speedy and complete
vietory.iB they whisper to themselves that
a disaster to Grant may be among the pos
sibilities. There are men here too, IN hgh
station, who would inwardly chuckle and
rejoice over a defeat of Grant ust at this
time; and there are one or two who actually
look for such defeat about the 9th or 18th
of June Your readers will remember hat
the President of tho United States Is the
constitutional commander,in chief of the
army and navy, and Mr. Lincoln had no in-
tention of forgetting that fact, when Gen.
Grant was made Lieutenant General
He still continues and always has continued
to direct the operations of the armies in the
field, at least to the extent of compelling
Gen. Grant and Gen. Banks to adopt cer-
tain views Of his, in opposition to their own
firm convictions. His whole soul Ca little
one il is true) is absorbed in one consider
alton, namely, how to advance his pros
poets for,election; and all the moves on the
military chessboard continue &c be made,
as they have been made for months past,
with that object alone in view.
When this campaign began, the two most
formidable rivals of Mr.. Lincoln were But.
Ter and Grant. Butler because he would
be acceptable to the radical wing of the
Republican party, and might also secure
part oil the army vote; and Grant, because
it was supposed that he might secure the
whole army vote "a vote which will elect
whoever gets,it,no matter who he. isor how he
gets it,, and the conservative votes OF both
Democrats and Republicans. What it be
hooved Mr.. Lincoln to do, therefore, 10
this campaign, was to arrange matters in
such a manner that the result of the
campaign would be death to the hopes OF
these two rivals. The plot has already sue
ceeded in the case Of Butler. Butler, to
use the expressive but inelegant language
OF the P. r., is dead cock in the pit
Even the radical newspapers have thrown
him overheard. The plot against Grant is
more complicated, and is not yet fully de-
velnped. But up to this time it has fully
succeeded. The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of
Butler and Sigel were arranged here, in
such a manner that they should fail, and
they have failed. The result of these two
failures came very near proving fatal to the
campaign, aud they would have proved fatal
but for the indomItable energy and the fer
tility of resources of General Grant. and
the unconquerable spirit and patient
endurance of his troops. As it is, they
