ARRIVAL OF THE GUNBOATS AT FREDE

ARRIVAL OF THE GUNBOATS AT FREDE-
RIoKSBURG.
On Thursday evening last, the gunboats
Yankee, Lieut.. Hooker, Jacob Bell, Acting
Master Shuttle, and the Fuschia, Acting
Master Street, arrived at Fredericksburg after
an exciting passage OF three days up the Rap.
pahannock. The boats belong to the Potomac
flotilla, Commander Parker, and this expedi-
ton was sent up under the command of Lieut..
Hooker, who comma nds one of the divisions
of the fiotllla. The Fuschia, Captain Street,
took the lead in going up. she being fitted with
q heavy torpedo fender, which exploded sever.
al torpedoes ON the passage, but no damage
was done to our boats. Quite number OF
other torpedoes were found and removed safe
ly. Some guerlllas were seen on the banks of
the river, but they did not venture to attack
the boats. The boats above named are at
fredericksburg while others, the Ourrituck,
Dragon, and Anacostia among them, are pat
rolling the river. Capt. Street reports the Rap
pahannock, clear of torpedoes from its mouth
to the wharf at Fredericksburg, bnt there are
guerrillas lurking along the banks, doubtless
hopeful to do mischief. Transports can now
reach Fredericksburg with supplies for the
army, and to convey the wounded North.

ORPHANS COURT, Judge Purceu.-The busi-
ness transacted in court this morning was
principally confined to the proving Of accounts
against various estates.
The last will and testament Of Mrs. Mary
Key Wallace, deceased, was fully proved. Her
estate, real and personal, is bequeathed to her
daughter, Frances r. W. Wallace, who is con.
stituted sole executor of the will.
Saturday female child, colored, was brought
into court by man in whose custody she had
been placed temporarily. The aunt of the
girl, who brought her from Virginia a year
ago, demanded the custody Of her, having be-
fore been her sole protector. The Judge de.
cided that by q recent act Of the State Con.
vention in Alexandria it is declared that
slavery shall no longer exist in that State.
The child is therefore free from the bands of
slavery, and as no slavery is known in this
District the court has jurisdiction over such
orphans domicile here, and therefore the court
ordered the child back ae ain to the aunt, Lilly
Taylor, being the next OF kin.
Mrs. Christiana Simps on, with the consent
of her husband, gave bend as Administrative
upon the estate Of Barbara Williams, decd.
]. g. Smith gave bond as guardian OF Laura
Stillings.
The remuneration Of Nary V. Ellis, widow Of
John A. Ellis, decd, OF her right to admins
ter on the estate, in favor Of Chas. NJ. Matthews
was filed.

RAID ON LIGHT HOUSE.

Last Thursday night a party of fourteen per-
sons, two of whom were colored, came out from
the Virginia shore, and watching their chance
made dash across the Potomac to Blacks
toms Island, and going to the light house at
that point they proceeded to destroy the lamp
and lantern, which they did most effectually.
They also carried off about twenty five gallons
of Oil, and started to carry off the keeper. Mr..
Jerome McWilliams, but through the entreaty
of his family he was allowed to remain.
The party were led by a man named John
Goldsmith, of Westmoreland county, Va, and
the others said also to belong to that locality.
Goldsmith has lately made several small raids
across the river, and short time since he and
his companions robbed store on the Maryland
shore, compelling the proprietor to carry some
of the goods to their boats.
Mr.. McWilliams, the keeper Of the light.
house, arrived on the Leslie this morning.
since the destruction OF the lantern a hand

FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE
THE CASE OF THE SEA BRIDE SOLD AS A
PRIZE OF THE PIRATE ALABAMA.

NEW YORK, May n.-Cape Of Good Hope
adylces to april 9TH have been received.
The Governor who had shown so much
lukewarmness in the matter of the sale of the
Sea Bride, one OF the Alabama's victims, has
been, it is stated, reprimanded by the home
Government.
Bride was raised on forged paper; one Of the
forgers died of fright, and the other is working
out five years sentence. 1t is said that the Sea
Bride not having papers, cannot be sold, and
is fair prize to vessels Of war OF any nation
who may meet her.
The India Times says :-'sIt is difficult to de.
termine whose property Semmes has been de-
stroyng, and lift turns out that he has destroyed
English property, it will make the nation the
laughing stock Of the world"

THE SITUATION.

We have much interesting information from
the front, all of a highly satisfactory nature,
bat which 1t would not be proper to publish.
II there has been no fighting for some days, it
Ia not because Grant has shirked it certainly;
and we imagine that the Richmond papers
nave had occasion ere this to still further ex-
press their wonder at the pertinacity with
which Grant presses on towards Richmond,

The enemy las shown by the Richmond
papers OF the 1sth) seem to anticipate an open

shall have suficiently detached himself from
his base Of supplies at Fredericksburg; but in
thsse pleasing Vaccinations they are certainly
counting without their host.
Grant has on many occasions struck ont

he VIII undoubtedly be as brilliantly success.
ful In this instance as heretofore. Port Royal.
On the Rappahannock, some twenty miles
below Fredericksburg and fifteen miles from
Milford Station, would afford an excellent new
base Of supplies. and Tappahannock, some
forty miles below Fredericksburg, would afford
yet another In case Grant shall need 1t in his
further advance toward Richmond.
Belle Plain, and also the road leading from
Fredericksburg to Spottsylvania Court House,
could thus be abandoned at any time without
interfering with the supplies of the army.
An officer from the front says it is an estab-
nsaed fact in the minds Of the army that we
are TO be in Richmond precisely on the 14th of
June; the calculation, we suppose, being made
on the basis of the rate Of Grants advance per

WASHINGTON, May o.

WASHINGTON, May 23-l.35 r. N.
To Major General Dir, NeV York Dispatches
from Major General Candy, dated mouth OF
Red river, midn light May Is, states that Admit
raj Porter has just arrived. The remainder o.
the gunboats will arrive tonight. Genera
Banks will probably reach Semmesport, on the
Atehafalaya, tomorrow. A despatch nom
Admiral Porter, dated on board the flagship
Black Hawk, mouth of Red river, May TO-
states that the portion of the squadron ABOVE
the falls at Alexandria have been released from
their unpleasant pos ition, owing to the indelat.
ieable exertion of Lieutenant Colonel Baily,
acting as engineer Of the 10th army corps, who
proposed and built tree dam Of six hundred
feet across the river, at the lower falls, which
enabled the vessels to- pass in safety to the back
water of the Mississippi, reaching Alexandria,
and allowed them to pass over all the shoals
and the distractions, and f1oated by the enemy
to point of safety.
Lieutenant Colonel Baily will be immedi-
ately nominated for promotion, for distin-
guished and meritorious service.
An unofficial report from Cairo, dated May
22d, states that the army and gunboats were all
safe at the mouth of Red river and Semmes-
port.
Major General Sherman, by adespatch dated
$50 p. m. last night reports that he will be
ready by morning to resume his operations.
Returned veterans and regiments, he says,
have more than replaced all losses and detach-
ments.
We have no official reports since my last
telegram from General Grant or General But
Ter. Official reports OF this department show
that, within eight days after the great battle
Of Spottsylyania Court House, many thousand
veteran troops have been forwarded to Gene.
raj Grant The whole army has been amply
supplied with full rations Of subsistence.
Upwards of 10000 sick and wounded have
been transported from the fields OF battle to the
Washington hospitals and placed under surgi.
cal care. Over eight thousand prisoners have
been transported from the field to the prison
depot, and a large amount Of artillery and other
impediments Of an active campaign brought
away. Several thousand fresh cavalry horses
have been forwarded to the army, and the grand
Army Of the Potomac is now fully as strong in
numbers, better equipped, supplied. and fur
nished as when the campaign opened. Several
thousand reinforcements have also been for
warded to other armies in the field, and ample
supplies to all during the same time. Over 900
volunteers for hundred days have been mus
tered into service-clothed, armed, equipped,
and transported to their respective positions.
This statement it due to the chiefs of the army
staff and bureaus, andtheir respective corps
to whom the credit belongs.

GRANTS MOVEMENTS.

In difference to the very proper request made
by the authorities, that no mention shall be
made by the press at present of army move
ments, we refrain from publishing much OF
interest, within our knowledge, concerning
said movements, and trust that the same reti.
cence will be observed BY our contemporaries.
1t is a notorious fact that while Union news
papers are crammed with such information
to the extent of making them worth their
weight in gold to the rebel leaders, the rebel
newspapers are as silent as the grave con.
corning the movements Of their own armies,
and a file OF Richmond papers really affords
no information whatever, Of any importance,
as to what is transpirlng in a military way
within their lines.
If they can maintain this caution and reserve
in aid Of bad cause, let us do at least as much
in behalf Of q good one.

THE RECENT NEWSPAPER SUSPENSIONS,
A great effort is being made to create SYM
patty for the New York World and Journal of
Commerce on account Of the recent suspension
OF their publication for two or three days by
order of the War Department Not only is
every newspaper notorious for active sympa.
thy with the rebellion and persevering efforts
to render it q success bowling over the alleged
wrongs infiic ted upon the proprietors of those
two establishments, but every thoughtless
loyal correspondent jealous Of the possibility
that some OF his rivals may get exciting ne ws
in print ahead OF him, is preparing to take M
the howl In order to do away with any future
restriction upon license to publish concern.
ing our military movements, whatever any dis
loyal or loyal contributor to the press NAV
hereafter wish to print.
We are not among those who realize that any
harm or wrong has been done by the War De-
partment in the premises. The publication
made by the two papers in question, was calcu-
lated to infllct irreparable injury on the cause
of the country, as involved in the war.
If we would succeed, such publications must
be summariiy stopped; as TO await the result
OF law suit to that end, especially in New
ork, would be to proclaim immunity ID all
traitors to aid and abet the rebellion with their
pens. There was no other mode of putting q
stcp 10 them than by endeavoring to make ex-
ampies in the recent fragrant case To tn at
end ii was absolutely necessary as we'll as
right that the War Department should lay
hands fer the time being upon all men and
means reasonably suspected of completely
with the rank treason involved in the publica.
ton. and to hold them, subject to trial by a
military court, as prompt investigation might
render necessary for the public safety.
The War Department has done that, and that
only. and deserves the thanks and increased
confidence OF the country in this its hour OF
trial, for so doing. The injury inflicted upon
the World and Journal of Commerce by its act is
not thousandth part of that which those
journals have inflicted on the country's cause
and the business community by making the
publication in question. Their excuse that
they were "taken in and done for" by scoun.
drels. and thus made the reprehensible publ.
cation, is an insufficient one; the Government
not being able to Judge Of its truth until after
due Investigation.
In this case the penalty for their In discretion
two or three days suspension of their issues
Is by no means beyond their deserts; and the
country will soon come to reolisc the fact, howl
as Justify as they may.
The parties guilty of perpetrating the crime
with criminal intent having been ascertained
and seized, all others mixed up with it have
been promptly released from molestation by
the Government.
