tnSe-
Mr.. James Watson webb, our Minister near
the brazilian Court has written a moderate des-
patch TO the Brazilian Government in reply to
one sent him by the Brazilian Minister for
Foreign Affairs, complaining Of the capture of
the FloUd1. Mr.. Webb writes:-
"The Government Of the United
States will feel regret at learning that a comman-
der in the Navy, without any instructions or
authority whatever, took upon himself the re-
SpOnsibltytO capture one of the pIratcal cruisers
of our Rebels while she was anchored ia the port
Of Bahia; and the undersigned believes himself
70 be authorized to assure your ENcellcncy that
all the rcparatOn which honor and Justice exact
will be very freely offered.
"Ncither the United States nor the undersigned
are directly or indirectly responsible for this Oc-
CurTeLCe. IL was not ordered or authorized
either by the Government of the United States OF
10y the undersigned
'"l hus replying to the note of your Excellency,
and accepting as facts the statements of which
the undersigned has no knowledge the UNDER
signed very frankly, in his own name, and also
no behalf of his Government, under the circum-
stances already stated, disavOws, with oil his force,
the capture OF the pirate Florida in the waters of
Brazil. IN the dispatches which he has sent to
Washington he has always expressed a desire to
strengthen the bonds of friendship between the
two principal nations Of the American continent.
"SuCh being, as the undersigned has no doubt,
the feelings and intentions of Brazil as also of
the United States, he does not apprehend in
the least that these sentiments cn be disturbed
by the acts. OF the commander of one OF our ves-
sells of war, or by those of an excited people
smarting under what they regard as a national
injury.
ain the perfect conviction that the Government
of the United States will promptly do all that is
consistent with its proper dignity and the honor
and dignity Of Brazil, the undersigned asks your
ENcelCnCy to excuse this hasly NOE, and rcnews
the expression of his distinguished consideration.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Galett

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WAsHINGToN, June 1--we may soon
expect something stirring from Grant
again. 1t is certain his army has safely
crossed the James river. He averted
the passage of the White Oak Swamps,
and took short cut to Charles City
Court House, by crossing the Chicka-
hominy at Long Bridge and Jones
Bridge. Yesterday morning our adj
vance were on the march in the direc-
ton of Petersburg and General Kautzs
cavalry were already engaging the enc
my in the outskirts of the town.
Their operations were distinctly visi-
BILE from General Buffers headquarters.
White House is entirely abandoned,
and steamers leave this city now for
Charles City Landing, on James river.
The Richmond Dispatch, received yes
terday, states that Sheridans forces
encamped, on Thursday night, at New
Market, in SpottsylVania county, about
five miles from Childsburg and ten
miles south of Spottsylvsnia c. House.
We have good authority for stating shat
General Hampton was between them
and GordonsVille A citizen of Caroline
who arrived in this yesterday, states
that SheFidan's command is about 600
strong, with ten pieces of artillery, and
that they moved in three columns. A
rumor was in circulation yesterday, that
Hampton surprised the enemys camp
and put them to route, but this lacks
confirmation"

Trembling.


The following remarks from the Ex-
aminer, although intended to be ex-
ceedingly truculent and boastful, do
not strike us in exactly that liglt-in
fact we fancy there is slight tremor
in the voice that has so long Numbered
contempt and defiance to the mudsills:
We hope the Confederate Govern
ment is not still in want of evidence to
satisfy it that the whole of this great
war is actually concentrated on Vir-
GINA, and pressed into a summers cam
paign. We hope it now realizes the 81
gantic character of the operations in
course of execution. If it does not, we
beg leave to direct attention to the two
paragraphs we have extracted and
printed above They contain the truth.
The war is in Virginia; the real battle
is on the Chickahominy. All other
events are now Insignificant trifes all
other military movements are blinds
and delusions. Here is the final trial
of strength According to the action
or inaction of the Government Lee win
triumph or fail The prize for which
the enemy contends is enormous, and
his profits by victory will be incalcu-
liable But they are no greater than our
own viii be if this business terminates
well for us. The evil which will befall
US if defeated, viii be no worse than
the ultimate consequences to the enc
my if he is overthrow.
IT., Ill .,,,l;t,r,. ,,,,-o,, &c a.
United States is to be sent after its
first venture in this Virginia campaign;
it has been determined to conquer this
State and take this city or lose the en-
tire army of the United States; another,
resembling it, cannot be raised. When
their military force is broken, the
United States must make a peace with
this country If they refuse, anarchy
and new disruption will befall them
Probably they will befal whether
peace is formally concluded, or an I'M
equal war should be still attempted.
This is the state of the case. Things
are so arranged that utter ruin OF
complete victory will be the issue of the
struggle begun in the neighborhood of
Richmond. There is no retreat for
either party. Sixty thousand of the
enemys men were disposed of before
he left Spottsylvania The loss of
twice as many more will destroy the
nerve of his military power and put
the security of this Confederacy beyond
the reach of chance. To those who are
tired of war-tO those who repeat the
parrots question. "How can it end at
all ?'-we say, here is the end and here
is the way to finish it. The force Of the
Union is flowing in one unbroken
stream to the force of these hills. Here
let it be broken, here let it be spent,
and the war over. If there is a muscle
unstrained, let it stretch now. Let
every man and every ounce of food be
brought to this front. Let every en-
CINE work Leave unemployed no
means to increase the physical and NOR
al power Of our troops, and we viii here
win the whole game.

HEADQUARTERS OF GEN. BUTLER, !
June II, 1864 J
The signal, or rather lookout tower,
erected by Gen. Weitzel, seems to be an
especial object of annoyance to the re-
bells; and well it may be, inasmuch as

A boy came into our lines the other
day from Richmond, whose adventures
may be briefly narrated thus: His name
is Thomas E May, a servant in the 4th
New York Infantry, and he was cap
tured in the fight in the Wilderness on
the Sth of May.
He was then sent to Danville, but be-
fore reaching that place succeeded in
making his escape from the cars. After
travelling some days he was re-arrested
and taken to Richmond, where he was
lodged in Libby Prison He again de-
termined 70 escape which he did sue
cessfully, and made his way to James
River. He then swan the river to reach
our line. but unfortunately struck the
south bank inside the rebel picketS. In
swimming he passed near the rebel
feet, consisting of three iron-clads, four
gunboats, and about twenty row-boats.
On discovering his error, he made his
way to a house and applied for work,
which was given him. While so en-
gagged he learned the position of our
gunbOats, and again took 20 the river,
being fred upon by the rebel picket
This time he was successful and reach
ed our gunboats, from whence he was
sent to General Butler. He could not
furnish much information, as he was
only in the prison a short time, and in
his escape was of course compelled TO
avoid roads and houses

Special Correspondence ofthe Cincinnati Gazette.
WAsHISGToS, June a.
I have never been intoxicated with
admiration for Gen Grant; but he has
always seemed to possess two elements
Of genuine greatness
On the evening of the first day at
Pittsburg Landing, everybody was des-
pondent General Grant and his staff
gathered in a little group by the post
office Said one to him, General, the
prospect looks a little bad ''Oh, no,
not at all, he quietly replied; I'VE can
stand it out tonight; in the morning
wen have fresh men, and they won't /;
Of course we'll whip them, sir.
"0f course we'll whip them, sir. "
There was one element Of greatness.
He didn't know what it was to be dis
couraged. And another, not less mark
ed, and il those times, even more val
liable than it is now, was his splendid
pugnacity. In the days when McClel-
Ian exalted Manassas, and Buell. talked
of strategy before Bowling Green; when
everywhere man was held in estima-
ton according as he showed reasons for
UOL UguN1Eg. Oel. AEdub hbDOQ n sDcC1al
exception to the rule He was always
ready to fight, and he never knew wht
he was whipped.
Can we not now add a third element
of military greatness2 Does not his
movement from the Chiclahominy to
the south side Of the James prove him
as willing to change his plans for better
ones, as he has been obstinate in stick
ing to the best
Il have lost a great battle, solely
through my own fault, said Frederick
the Great once Only proved him wor-
thy of his title. Only great men can
afford to admit mistakes or to change
their plan in the face Of criticism. If
Gen Grant had been small man, he
would have tried to fight it out on the
north side of Richmond The most en-
couraging sign in his whole campaign
is this abandonment of that policy, and
the movement to the south side of the
