pendent conservative Vallandigham paper,
and predicted that that convicted traitor
would carry theState of Ohio, overwhelming
ly for Governor. 1t predicted last fall that
the democracy would carry this State against
Republicans and War Democrats, so over
whelmingly that there wouldn't be rem
nant Of either left, to tell the tale of their
defeat. They proved nearer the truth than
this last prophecy that the Meas copies.

"a fellow feeling makes wonderous kind.'
The Milwaukee NevS publishes call of
some self constituted national committee for
National Convention at Cleveland onthe
31st of the present month, and endorses the
call and hopes for much good from the con-
vention, and all that sort of thing. So much
good in prospect, makes the editor almost in
love with anti-slavery men and abolitionists.
Hitherto, the Milwaukee Netc8 could never
find words Or epithets to express its hatred
of and contempt for abolitionists and anti
slavery men. 1t exhausted the vocabulary
of bile and billingsgate long since, in APP
plying opprobious epithets and venting its
spleen. Its worst term of reproach was to
call man an abolitionist. But all this is
changed Now it proposes to go into part
nership with the hated and despised aboli-
tionists and antislavery men. We shall be
glad to see a few discontinued abolitionists
yoked in loving fellowship with the North
ern copperheads. The Meas admits that
''Dem0crats and anti-slayery Republicans, do
not agree as to the political question. Of
slavery but then, under the circumstan
ces it thinks, it can consent to almost any
kind of fellowship, that promises to defeat
Lincoln. We presume that just now if the
contratbands were only endowed with the
right of suffrage, the News would be JUS
as anxious to fellowship with them if il
could only convince them that they ought
to 60 against s'Massa Linkum," which i
never could.
4 Here is little of the ''soft solder thu
News applies to abolitionists and anti-slave
ny men:
"AlI true anti-sIavery men at least respec
the forms of law and the personal rights 0
men. In these ii mes, a pure abolitionis
if honest, is a far nobler work of creation
than cross between southern fire-eate
and northern shoddyite
We would prefer the constitution Iegit
imately amended for the abolition of SLAYER,
than no constitution at ALL"
There is hopes of the News yet, if it i
honest in the expression of its preferences
We are glad it has so far overcome its pref
udices as to express such belief in anti-slave
ry men and abolitionists.

WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON

May 24-10 P. NJ.
To Major General Dix:
A dispatch from Gen. Grant, dated l o.
clock last night, states that the army moved
from its position to North Anna, following
closely on Lees army. The 9th and 9th Corps
marched by the way of Harris Store, to Je-
rych's Ford, and the 9Th Corps succeeded in
seffecting crossing and getting position
without much opposition.
Shortly after, however, they were violently
attacked, and handsomely repuIsed the assault
without much loss to u.s. We captured some
prisoners. Everything looks exceedingly IA
vorabe.
Another dispatch giving detail of move
ments OF our corps, and speaking Of the rebel
assault on Gen. Warrens position, says: ''He
was attacked with great violence. | have
never heard more rapid firing, either of ar
tillerp or musetry. The attack resulted in
destructive repulse to the enemy. At the po-
sition attacked by Hancock, the rebels were
entrenched and in considerable force, between
the creek he had crossed and the river and
made pertinacious resistance to his onset,
but before dark Hancock had forced them
from their works, and driven them across the
stream" 1t is also said that in these engage
ments the slaughter of the enemy was great.
Our losses were inconsiderable. The rebels
charged against our artillery, and suffered,
ESPECIALLY from canister.
Another dispatch from Gen. Grant, dated
at 3 o'clock this morning, has also been re-
ceived. 1t states: THE enemy has fallen
back from North Anna, and we are in pursuit.
Negroes who have come into our lines say
that Lee is falling back on Richmond"
| Other official dispatches from headquarters,
say that Warren, Burnside and Hancock are
pushing forward after the retreating army.
Warren has captured good number of pris-
oners up to last evening, but had time to
count them, or ascertain his loss.
| Hancock was storming rifle-pits this side
Of the river. Last evening he also took be-
tween 100 and 200 prisoners, and drove
many rebels into the river, where they were
drowned.
Warren also captured some official papers
among which was an official order calling
out boys fifteen years of age to garrison
Richmond. Ambulance men and musicians
are also ordered to the ranks.
Sheridan, this morning, was at Dunkirk,
and will be at Mifard tonight
No dispatches have been received to-day
from Sherman, and none are expected for
several days.
Dispatches from Butler have been received
to-day, relating briefly to the respective
forces.
Admiral Lee in telegram dated the
22d, to the Secretary of the Navy, states
that last night and Saturday night the en-
my attacked the army, but were handsome
ly repulsed.
A dispatch from General Candy, dated
the 18th, at the mouth of the Red river,
states that General Banks troobs had ar
rived at Semmesport yesterday, and will
reach Morgause to-day.
The army is in better condition than was
expected, and will be ready to presume often

From General BaatIer's Command

New York, May "a
The Heralds correspondent with General
Butler, writing May 22d, gives an account
of a midnight assault by the rebels on the
night previous. The pickets received their
fire warmly, and gradually fell back, when
our artillery opened upon the advancing reb-
els with whitening discharges of grape and
canister. Siege guns and light batteries
were brought to bear, and the rebels were
moved down like grass. They still advanced
and were given another SCATTERING discharge,
when they halted A rebel passion ex-
ploded, scattering death in all directions,
and the gunboats on the Appomattox joined
i'll Smelling the woods where the rebel re-
serves were stationed Finally, the rebels,
finding our forces as well prepared to re-
ceive them, withdrew, leaving their dead on
the field, numbering 293.
Our defences were constructed by some of
our best engineers, and are almost impreg-
nable.

Where can we turn and not behold
Some scene which brings to mind
Our loved ones gone-and then a cold
Sad feeling, words have never yet defined,
Comes DER our souls, and a dread sorrow
Fills our hearts, which for while refuses balm.
Full well we know, no bright tomorrow
Will bring the loved bitter grief to calm.
Yet all our duties must be done, the while,
The living still have claims,
And we must calm ourselves and smile,
Although the anguish be like burning flames.
Our Mother left Now, brother dies,
And strangers place him il a strangers grave!
Yet God is just and stitch in the skies,
His feeblest work, to love and save,
And we must suffer, do and trust,
And wait the time for our release,
And ever feel the truth, sour God is just"
