The electors in the First District Will poll the
largest ant-Democratic vote ever given IN that
District for George William Curtis for Congress.
Be sure Of that 1t is so much gain to the
Union cause, even il he is not elected. But
even lis election is not improbable. In Queens
County they are confident Of majority in his
favor. In Richmond County his personal popu-
larty renders like result a great deal more
than probable. Work with a will, men! There
could not be more significant triumph in the
whole State than to carry that District for the
Union

CANADIAN LUMBER TRADE.-The Toronto
Globes correspondent says that the lumber
operations during the winter, on the Ottawa
river and in Western Oanda, are likely to be
reduced from one-third to one half com pared
with last year. This he states arises from
several causes, the dearness of money in
England and the depreciation of American
currency being important ones. The differ
ence in exchange has enabled Americans to
ship OAK, and successfully compete with Que
bee shippers. The stock. of white pine in
Quebec 10 about sixteen millions OF feet; per-
haps a million feet more than last year. The
curtaiment of local consumption is equal to
two millions of feet, owing to reduced opera
tions in the shlp-yards. Among local causes
may be mentioned the drought, which In GER
tain sections will increase the price of hay and
oats. The banks have curtailed credits very
largely. The lumber operations of the past
two years have been generally successful, and
the restricted production of next winter is, by
those who understand the trade, considered q
wise step. FEY @N-'@7

WASHINGTON May 3.-The counsels of
the military authorities are kept remarkably
secret. Heretofore, on the eve of battle.
some idea could be formed of the contem-
plated movements, but now they are matters
of mere speculation, both among prominent
civilians and even army officers The ut
most confidence, however, is reposed in those
having the direct conduct of affairs. and due
credit is given for their wisdom in prevent
ing premature disclosures.
The Navy Department has received CO.
pies Of the Richmond Examiner of the 2Sth
ult.
4 Fredericksburg correspondent of the
Examiner, writing under date of April 27th,
says:
The opinion prevails in Washington that
Lees army, in numerical strength, does not
exceed fifty thousand men. To oppose this
force, or rather for the purpose of attack,
Grant has required that the Army of the
Potomac shall be rendered one hundred
thousand strong. To this end reinforce.
ments to that army have been continually
passing up the Orange and Alexandria rail
way for the past ten days. Ten days hence
it will be ready for the advance, which is
universally desired in the United States. from
Lincoln down, or up, whichever phrase you
prefer.
The commonly received opinion that
Grant will attack Lee in front and in his
fortifcations is erroneous. He will seek to
turn the flank of our army, and his policy
Is, evidently, to maintain his present posi-
tion until his organization and equipment
are thoroughly accomplished, and then, by
suddenly unfolding his strategy. to surprise
Gen. Lee. lie may march rapidly and with
out announcement either to some point of
crossing on the Rapidan, or Rappahannock,
or to Port Republic, thence to Staunton,
thence to Lynchburg. think that an attempt
to flank on the east more probable his army
crossing at some of the lower fords of the
Rappahannock. This, however, is all con-
lecture, and but the echo of Washington
gossip.

Eight hundred rebel cavalry have reached
