A Pleasant Incident.

From the Philadelphia n American of Wednesday
One of those slight but expressive and
influential incidents which touch the uni
versal heart and indicate the tide of feel
ing, transpired the other day in this city,
and deserves, in consideration of all its
surroundings, to be made known. Its inn
port is heightened by the fact that it was
a surprise where surprise was intended,
and that its accomplishment was attended
with no difficulty.
By some means it became known in the
city that Mrs. Gen. Meade was about re-
moving from her residence. The knowl-
edge suggested to number of gentlemen,
who are personal friends of the General
and his family, that home from which no
removals would be necessary would be a
pleasant acknowledgment of his services
and handsome memorial for his children.
The idea was acted upon, and with no diff
Guilty very desirable house, on the south
east corner of Nineteenth street and De.
lancey Place, was purchased, together with
its furniture, for the sum of thirteen thou
sand dollars. The whole was then pre-
sented to Mrs. Meade.
A day o: two after the furniture OF the
house from which she had removed was ad-
vertised for sale, and Mrs. Meade, desiring
to secure some portions of it, attended the
sale Just as she was prepared to bid, the
auctioneer announced its sale. Mrs Meade
left. and when she reached her new resi-
dence, 10. the furniture was there. It had
been bought and sent in as completion Of
the former purchase.

Rebels Defeated with a Loss Of 1000
men--Great Destruction of Railroad
Stock.

CINCINNATI, June 15.-Further reports of the
fight yesterday represent the rebel loss at 800
killed and wounded and about 700 prisoners.
Burbridge is supposed to be pursuing the REM
nant of MOrgan's command.
The loss to the Kentucky Central Railroad is
estimated at about $2,OO0,OO0. There were
five locomotives and seventy-five cars at Lex
ingtOn which were reported uninjured.
CINCINNATI, June 12.-Morgan, with about
5000 men, attacked force under Gen. Hob
severe fight compelled HobsOn to surrender on
exchanged.
The fighting took place in the streets of Gym
thiana and some of our troops took refuge in
the Court House, and in order to dislodge
them the stables were set fire. About twenty
buildings were consumed.
Our loss-killed Is, wounded so. Col Berry,
Provost Marshal of Covington, mortally
wounded. The Colonel of the 168th Ohio is
severely wounded. 1t is also reported that
Hobson is wounded.
Our loss in prisoners is from 1900 to 1,500
men This morning Gen. Burbridge, who left
Paris last night fell upon Morgan while his
men were at breakfast. After heavy fighting
he completely defeated the rebels. About $50
prisoners were taken. Burbridge followed
closely the fleeing rebels.
LOUISVILLE, June 12.-Col Darlington has
just received telegram from Gen. Burbridge's
A. A. G. at Lexington, who says that the re-
bells left yesterday for Georgetown, and went
east from there. Burbridge started in pursuit
with fresh horses last night, and will push
them rapidly

STEAMBOAT DIS.
ASTER,
Burning of the Berkshire..-Fifty
Lives Lost.

RoNDour, n Y, June 9.-The steamer
Berkshire was destroyed by fire last night: on
the Hudson, eight miles below here. 1t is
of whom were burned to death.
LATER.
New YORK, June 9-TheConamerciNs special
from Hudson says the steamboat Berkshire had
about one hundred and fifty passengers on
board. The fire was discovered when the
boat was two miles above Hyde Park, about
10 P. NJ. strong south wind blew the flames
aft preventing many of the passengers from
going forward. The pilot Immediately headed
the boat for the shore, and grounded her with
only four feet of water in the bow. From
forty to fifty passengers are supposed to
be lost. Such as escaped found shelter in q
number of fishermen's huts on the shore, the
only habitations within two miles.
The boat was launched only about six weeks
since, and was furnished and painted in splen-
did style. Her hull is burned to the waters
edge.
No names of the saved or lost are vet learned.
There were about one hundred and thirty
passengers, but as the list was lost, the exact
number was not known.
The passengers were mostly from Hudson
and Catskill.
While the fire was raging, the steamer j. w.
Baldwin passed up, and rescued sixty or
seventy. These were landed at Rhinebeck,
and thence proceeded home
The boat and cargo are total loss. The
former was valued at 100000, and was fully
insured.
No baggage was saved, and many escaped in
their night clothes.

A gentleman residing at Henderson, KY, of
whose Union faith there has been no doubt at
any time, has just returned from the East and
communicates some interesting information he
received from rebel lady who had just run the
blockade, and was making her way westward.
son of this lady went into the rebel service
at the outbreak Of the rebellion, and was made
clerk of the Confederate House of Representa-
tives: Getting, finally, into some difficulty, he
killed man in the quarrel, and was sent to
the penitentiary. His brother went to Rich
mOnd and remained there some time interced-
ing in behalf of his liberation. Finally she
made her escape, as above stated.
She says that no one who has not seen them
can have any adequate idea of the great
strength OF the rebel fortifcationf of the Con-
federate capital. The works are on the most
gigantic scale, and, fully manned, could never
be carried by assault. There are, however,
but few soldiers in the city, and the common
determination of the people is to surrender so
soon as Gen. Lee shall be thoroughly whipped.
They regard this campaign, as the Richmond
papers have so frequently asserted, the close of
the war, on their part at least. Their resolu-
ton to hold out is conditional on the success
of their army outside the city.
This lady says that the leading citizens gen.
orally have the old flag secreted in their houses,
and when Gen. Grant shall arrive at the gates
of the city, they intend to unfurl it from their

Letter from MIR. N. p. Langford.
WASHINGTON, June 2, 1864.
IN the Edifor of the Pioneer.

ILL., WASHINGTON, June 2, 1864.
To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
Your issue of the 26th of May contains let
ter of Cornelius Bray, of Bannock City, to Hon.
J. F. Hoyt, which states that "Mr. N. P.
Langford was not elected to the Idaho Legis-
lature neither was he sent to Washington to
work for division of the Territory ,as stated
That may not appear to have been sailing
under false colors, will say that the first no.
tice which had of my election to the Legisla-
ture was from seeing my name in the New
York Tribune, in list of the members. The
Secretary of the Territory also sent me certi-
icate of my election; but as started for
Washington before the Legislature of Idaho
Territory convened, instead of crossing
the mountains to the capital, I knew nothing
of what had in the mean time transpired, un-
til was informed by Messrs. Rheem and Miller
that my seat was contested, and my opponent
admitted to seat, after the Secretary had sent
me my certificate.
The statement that l was not sent to Wash
ington, is simply untrue. scGs requested by
my friends who supported me, 20 go to Washington
instead of going to Lewiston. Doubtless Mr..
Bray was not aware of this fact, as he did not
belong to the party that supported me, and we
did not deem it necessary to publicly proclaim
all our plans; but the fact is as have stated.
If any explanation of this matter is necessary
among my friends, the foregoing will suffice,
and YOU will do me favor, by giving it place
in your columns. Yours truly,
N. P. LANGFORD.

From the Tribune, June 6.
There was National Mass Meeting at Cleve-
land last week, which nominated Gen. John G.
Fremont for President, with Gen. John COch-
rane for Vice President; and delegated con.
vention is to assemble at Baltimore tomorrow,
Lincoln for reelection as President, with
(probably) Daniel s. Dickinson or Andrew
johnson as Vice President.
Our own conviction that the opening of the
Presidential canvass should be postponed to
the latest moment was early formed and pri-
vately as we'll as publicly expressed whenever it
seemed likely to be needed. 1t has been over
borne and we do not care to insist on it; but
it remains unchanged. We could even now
wish that the convention which meets to-mor-
row would adjourn over to the middle of Au-
gust, to await the developments of the ten
probably eventful weeks just before u.s. ''Tell
your brother, the Governor" Mr.. Lincoln is
reported to have said to John F. Seymour of
our State, during the dark winter of 1862 3,
"that he wants to be President of the Unit
ed States, he must take care that there shall be
United States. We heartily concur in the
suggestion, and hold the question it raises first
in order and OF paramount importance. The
convention which seems to US of absorbing in.
terest is that which General Grant is now hold.
ing on the banks of the Chickahominv; next
to this we place that which General Sherman
is reassembling around the remparts of Allan
ta AS the policy of concentration and deter
mined advance which we have always believed
in has at length been adopted, we could wish
the Presidency utterly forgotten or ignored for
the next two months while every impulse, ev-
cry effort of the loyal millions should be direct
ed toward the overthrow of the armed hosts of
the rebellion. That effected or its speedy ac-
complishment proved impossible, we should be
ready to enter clear-sghtedly on the Presiden-
tial canvas. Now, we are not.
We feel that the expected nomination, if
made at this time, exposes the Union party to
dangerous flank movement" possibly sue
cessful One And we cannot realize that post
ponement to August, or even September,
would imperil any public interest or impair
the efficiency of our ultimate efforts.
For these views, we ask no other cOnsidera-
tion than is due to the calmly expressed con-
victions of every hearty we'll -wisher of the na-
tional cause. We propose to act with the
great body of our fellow Republicans in the
approaching canvass but we are in no hurry
to enter upon that canvass. Let the country
see and feel that we Republicans seek success
for our country's sake more than for that of
our party. Let it realize that our hearts are
with our gallant brethren who are writing our
country's history with steel and flame on the
bloody fields of Virginia and Georgia. The
triumph of the natiOna, arms should be our
first aspiration: after that, everything else in
its order. Live the republic!

Mr. Chase urges an amendment to the tax bill
which will add largely to revenue. He is
known to favor a tax of 81 per gallon on
whisky aud ten per cent. on incomes.
WASHINGTON, Jnne 13.-lSpecial to Tribune. I
1: appears that it was Gen. Wadsworth's in
tention at the close of the war to pay over a
sum of money equal in amount to that he
received from the government to some perma-
nent institution founded for the life relief of
disabled soldiers. ''This," he said, sis the
least invidious way in which I can refuse pay
for fighting for my country in her hour of
danger"
The 11Sth Ohio, one hundred day troops,
having in its ranks lawyers, clergymen and 9TH
ers of the best men in the State, on Saturday
voted unanimous to go to the front and fight.
They then marched to the White House and
had an interview with the President who ad-
dressed them, thanking them for their prompt
response and saying, wherever you go.I know
you will do your best"

Drafts for One Year.

1t will be seen by the following proceedings
of the Senate on Friday last that provision was
made that all calls for draft hereafter shall be
made for one year,
When the bill repeating the communication
clanse of the enrolment law came ap Mr..
Collamer offered new section, that all calls
for draft hereafter made shall be for term not
exceeding one year.
During the day the debate took wide range
in reviewing the military policy of the govern
ment particularly in relation to negroes.
Mr.. Brown favored the repeal of the commu-
tation act, but strongly opposed Mr.. COllamers
amendment. Mr.. Nesmith took the same
view.
Mr.. Collamer briefly advocated his amend
ment.
Mr.. Hendricks spoke at length in denuncia-
ton of the military policy of the Government
in his usual style Of opposition, but said if
slavery went down as an incident of the war
he would not mourn. He favored COllamers
mendmenr, but would vote against the repeal
of the commutation clause.
Mr.. Lane, of Indiana, made brief and elo-
quent speech, which the galleries applauded,
in defense of the Administration and in reply
to Mr.. Hendricks, in which he said he, too,
was for peace, but he wanted liberty, and man.
hood and national integrity, and Christian civ
iization more than any peace obtalnable, ex-
cept by complete subjugation of the rebels.
Mr.. Doolittle favored the repeal of the COM
mutation clause, and said he would almost go
for the repeal of the clause allowing substitu-
ton. The section limiting future drafts to one
year was then adopted by ~ to II. The nays
were Messrs. Brown, Carlisle, Chandler, Con.
ness, Grimes, Harlan, Henderson, johnson,
McDougal Morgan, Nesmith, Pomeroy, Ram
sey, Sherman, Sprague, Ten Eyck and Trum-
bull.
Without further action the Senate adjourned.
There is little doubt of the repeal of the
Communication clause.

Attacks of the Rebels Repulsed with
Heavy Losses.

New YORK, June 13-The T,ibuae's CORES
pondent with Sherman, under date of near
Dallas on the 1st, says enemy in front of the
23d corps yesterday morning made dash on
our advanced line of works with the intention
of occupying the latter position. They were
met by heavy fire from our men, who re-
manned immOvable, although the rebels came
up to within few PAGES. The enemy finally
faltered and fell back in terrible confusion.
This repulse of the enemy has been one of the
most decided and destructive which he has yet
suffered.
During last night the enemy assaulted Gen.
Hooker, but was repulsed as usual, with loss.
The attack on Mcpherson, referred to in
former correspondence, proved very disastrous
to the enemy. The rebels came on in two di.
vision with great resolution, but were received
with destructive fire, both from artillery and
musketry fire. The fight continued nearly an
hour, when the enemy retired, leaving the field
covered with their dead and wounded, num-
bering nearly $500.

what little hope they had at the opening of the
