gave destination to her voyage different
from what she anticipated ct the onset
Upon her arrival here she WAS politely
waited upon by Marshal Keyes and invit-
ed to take lodgings st the fremont House
until the pleasure Of the GoVernment
should be known respecting b disposl-
ton. She is accompanied by three serV-
ants-s white woman, black girl and
b aok boy. She converses freely and well,
sud is evidentlys female of intelligence
and quick understanding. Her bearing
during the passsge-in act and speech
is described as being strictly becoming and
proper in all respects. She entertsins
and expresses strong admiration Of, sym
pathy with, the South, but not in offensive
terms. She thinks the pending contest
between Lee and Grant will terminate the
war in favor Of the victor. These Gener-
ais she considers the two ablest officers in
the country. During the attack upon the

Fredericksburg, then pushed onward fol-
lowing the railrosd, and tonight finds the
headquarters Of Hancock's column at
Bowling Green, eighteen miles south Of
fredericksburg. The other corps have
been today following the same general
line, and are now passing the point from
which this dispatch is dated.
You will observe from these indications
that the commanding General has effected
q turning movement on the right flank Of
Lee, who is now hastily falling back to
take up new defensive position. It is
expected his next stand will be on the
South Anna river, although he may endes-
vor to hit US while moving by flank, just
he ss did when outhanked in his lines on
the Rspidsn.
Heavy firing is in fact heard at this mo-
ment across the Ny, where one Of our col
umns is moving. A mile southwest Of
Guiness Station is the point Of confluence
Of the Po and Ny Rivers, and at this point
the stream is crossed bY Guinea bridge,
which is in our posses ion. Our army has
now sll gone from the front it has held
before Spottsylvonis Court House the past
two weeks. Our present front, while it
puts Us in very advantageous position in
regard 10 the enemy, perfectly covers our
communications, which are via Frederick
burg and Aqua Greek. The railroad will
soon be sll right from Aqua Greek to
fredericksburg, and doubtless will be put
in order south Of that point IS we advance.
The Herald correspondent with Butler,
May 22d, gives an account Of 8 midnight
assault by the rebels on the night previous.
The piokets received the FIRE firmly and
gradually fell back, when the artillery
opened upon the advancing rebels with
Witbering discharges Of grape and can
mister. The siege guns and light batteries
were brought to bear, and the rebels were
moved down like grass. They still ad-
Vanced, receiving another slsughtering
csisson exploded, scattering death in all
directions. The gunboats on the Apo
tomsx Joined in she!ling the woods where
the rebel reserves were stationed. Finally,
the rebels, finding our forces so we'll pre-
pared to receive them, withdrew, leaving
their dead on the field, numbering 263.-

our best engineers, and arc almost i'm

The Committee on Elections reported in
favor of giving the seat for Dacatah to ].
D. s. Todd.
The Senate amendments 10 the National
Currency bill were then taken up, and an
effort to have them sent to q Conference
Committee failed.
Mr.. Holman, Of Indiana, moved that the
amendments be laid on the table
This was decided in the negative by q

The Senate had amended on the twelfth
section Of the bill, which provides that
shareholders shall be held individually
responsible, by adding an exception that

ton, now existing under the State laws,
having not less than 100000 Of cspi-
tai actually paid in and surplus Of 20
per cent on hand, both TO be deter
mined by the Comptroller Of the Currency,
shall be liable only to the amount invested

kept un1imiuished, aud be in addition ID
the surplus provided for in this act and
if at any time there shall be deficiency
in such surplus of 20 per cent, the Bank
ing Association shall not pay any diVi
dends to it's shareholders until such def
cheney shall be made good, and in cas-
of such deficiency, the Comptroller Of tn,
Currency nay compel the Banking AssO
citation to close its business and wind "
