The government OF Hanover has formally an
nounced to in Chamber of Deputies that it
fully concurs in the efforts Of Austria, Prussia,
and the Federal Diet, to obtain the separation
OF the duchies from Denmark, and their indi-
visible union As an independent State, to be
incorporated with the German Confederation
under the hereditary sovereignty Of the Prince
OF AuguStenburg. The Emperor OF Russia has
transferred to the Grand Duke of oldenburg

Whereas, Col. Simon H. Mix, of the Sd N.
Y. cavalry, commanding 1st brigade Of Gen.
Kautz's division, was killed on the 18th inst,
while leading his brigade In a charge on the
enemy's earthworks at Petersburgi
Resolved, That In the death Of Col. Mix the
nation has lost the services of a man OF distin-
guishment In civil life, as well as of high posi-
ton in the army. He was one Of the first Of
that great multitude OF influential citizens who,
at the beginning of this rebellion, exchanged
the luxuries of home for the privatlons and
dangers OF the field. II was to his instrument
talIty that the formation Of the Sd New York
cavalry was chiefly due; and at the time of his
death he had commanded 1t over two years.
Resolved, That while the nation has lost an
eminent citizen and brave soldier, this regi.
ment has lost friend as well as a commander.
Very few among those great men who, during
this war, have become a memory and a name
carried with them into the army the affection
Of larger number, or made more friends while
10 1t. He was man of such kindness of heart,
of such genlality of disposition, so highly
gifted with all the qualities which give a charm
ID social intercourse, that he brought cheerful
ness into every circle which he entered
RsSolvsd, That while lamentIng the death Of
Col. Mix, we recognize the truth that many of
the circumstances of his death were such as a
soldier would choose. He fell in the final
charge, at the head of his brigade, at the close
Of a day during which ho had always been
where the fire was hottest; and when that wave
formed of brave men that had rolled up 10 the
rebel entertainments fell back on the utmost
limit reached by Its ensanguined crest, he was
found by the cI0my dead; thus, with so many
Others, contributing his blood as the cement OF
our national institutions.
RsSO!ued, That we offer our tender and re-
spectful sympathy TO his relatives and friends,
and especially to his aged parents, who, having
watched by his cradle, are called in Gods
providence to stand by his grave; and also we
offer our sympathy TO his only son.
ReSOlred, That a copy of the above preamble
and resolutions be published in the New York
Tribune, the Albany aud Rochester papers, the
schOharie Union, aud the Johnstown hldcpeHd-

Omeisl Denial OF the Reported Recruit
ing in Ireland and Canada,

The President, in reply to a resolution Of
inquiry, sent to the Senate yesterday a COM
munication from the Secretary of State, from
which 1t appears that no authority has been
given by the Executive Department to any
one, either in this country or elsewhere, to OBJ
tain recruits either In Ireland or in Canada, or
in any foreign country, for either the army or
navy of the United States; and, on the con-
trary, whenever application for such authority
has been made, 1t has been refused and abso-
lutely withheld.

HEADQ'Rs ARMY OF THE PoToMAo, June 81,
a. m.-An attack was made on Burnslde's
line about II O'Clock Saturday night with the
intention OF driving back working party who
were engaged digging entrenchments towards
the enemy, so as to gain better position ln
which TO place guns so as more etfectually to
cover the works In front. The firing was very
brisk for about an hour, resulting In our men
holding their ground aud continuing their
labors without any loss Of consequence. The
usual amount Of picket firing took place yes
terday, being little more persistent In front
Of the Ninth Corps than at any other point.
1t Is usual 10 relieve the picket lines shortly
after dark, and the enemy being generally on
the alert, at the least noise Invariably open
fire in the hope of being able to pick of some
of our men while the change Is being made.
1t is seldom any harm results from these at
tacks, as the men have become so careful to
secure themselves that It is next to impossible
I for the rebel sharpshooters TO get the range OF
| them.
The health Of the troops is in the main
good, considering the oppressivey hot weather
| they have had since their arrival there and the
scarcity of water in this section, The 18th
| Army CorpS seem to have the greatest number
IN hospitals from the effects OF the weather.
The colored troops are reported as being un-
affected by the heat. Surgeon jackson, In charge
of the fourth division hospital of the 9th corps,
reports that in that division only forty men out
OF over 1000 were unfit for duty when they
were put In front on Tuesday to relieve the I'd
corps. This shows how much Better they can
endure the scOrchlng rays OF the sun than white
| troops.
The appearances yesterday afternoon indl.
Gated that we should have shower Of rain.
! Black masses of clouds appeared in the west,
accompanied with considerable thunder. But
we were disappointedi the storm passed OFF to
the north, only few drops Of rain fall ng in
this vicinity.
