A COUSIN OF SECRETARY CHASE MURDERED BY
THE REBELS.


A correspondent of The Brooklyn Union Of
Saturday says:
"The remains of Arthur L. Chase, late a
lieutenant in the New York Artillery, passed
through New York city this morning, on the
way to Lockport, N. Y, the residence of biz
parents, for interment. The circumstances of
the death Of this brave and noble boy are of
such character that they may well be PIT on
record with the many other acts OF disgrace
full barbarity, which will remain in the future
as Just exponents of the character of the rebel
lion, its cause aud its abetors. He died in
Washington on the 9th instant, in the Ar
mory Square Hospital, and after his death a
memorandum was found in one OF his pockets
in his own handwriting, which states that he
had been ounded on the battle field, and that
while in this helpless state he was approached
by four rebel soldiers, who shot him through
the neck, chest, and thigh, placing the muzzles
of their guns 80 near him that bis clothing and
flesh were burned by their discharge, and are
now the witnesses of the truth of this memo
randum, which he had strength to make after
suffering from the atrocious act.'
Lieutenant Chase was cousin of Secretary
Chase, and nephew of DR.. Wells, of Brook
lyn.

head of the distinguished party. The entire
afternoon was spent in most agreeable and
pleasant stroll among the Strawberries and
grape vines. The speculstions, criticisms, and
conclusions will, We are assured be given to the
public in an official report.
Our readers are, or should be familiar with
the acres of strawberries here presented
There can be no more inviting prospect than
the long rows of green plants, with the rich,
luscious scarlet berries dazzling in the sun
shine. Here is every conceivable variety OF
strawberry-every size, color and shape
from the tiny Scarlet Runner TO The mammoth
Triomphe de Gand and Seven Hundred
This last named variety Mr.. Knox thinks ex-
GELS the Triomphe de GaDd Its enormous
size. tender flesh, and pleasant favor, entities
il to be ranked among the finest berries yet
grown. The crowniug advantage of visit to
these grounds, is that you see, side by side,
rows Of all the varieties, produced by the best
culture and under similar circumstances. To
essay description of all these different varie-
ties would require an octave volume, much less
newspaper paragraph. DE-. Warder varied
the monotony of the strawberry conversation
by dissecting the bugs, slugs and other insects
showing that be was as much at home in ento-
mOlogy as he is in pomOlOgy.
The strawberry is not the only fruit grown

the special attention of Mr.. Knox. The Del

to make dark colored wine, very rough and

A despatch from New York states that the
Democratic Executive Committee, at a meet
ing held in that city on the 22d inst, resolved
TO postpone the National Convention for the
nomination of candidates for President and
Vice President which was to have been held
at Chicago on the 4th of July, till the 28th Of
August. The object of this movement is man
ifest. The Democracy, who are in a hopeless
minority in the loyal States, are nearly equally
divided into two factions one of which, known
as the peace party, is in favor of submitting
to the rebellion and accepting such terms as
JEFF. Davis & Co., chose to grant; the other
favors the putting down of the rebellion by the
force of arms, providing it can be done in
strict accordance with the Constitution,
and especially without interfering seriously
with the institution of negro slavery. The one
faction desires the nomination of some such
war man as Mcclellan, while the other will
Only be satisfied with an undoubted peace man
Of the Vallandigham or Fernando Wood
stripe A big row was in prospect at Chiea-
co. and with view to reconciling existing
differences, and in hopes that in the meantime
aomething may "turn up" to their advantage,
the postponement has been resorted to.

THE NEWS.

The entire army of Gen. Grant is now op-
Grating on the south side of James river, in
the vicinity of Petersburgh, and though 20
decisive success has as yet crowned our efforts
and the rebels continue to hold the city, en-
couraging progress has been made, and there
is every reason to anticipate that we shall
soon possess the city, which is admitted to be
the key to Richmond.
In the fighting which has occurred since
our army crossed the james our forces have
exhibited heroic bravery, and in one of the
main assaults on the defences around Peters
burgh, which took our lines within shelling
distance of the city, the negro troops partic-
ularly distinguished themselves, SO much so
that the officer under whose immediate com
mand they happened to be, publicly thanked
them for the noble part they acted. General
Grant has demanded the surrender of the city,
and the rebel commander having refused to
comply with the demand, preparations were
being made at last adviees to shell it. 1t be-
ing vital point, it will of course be defended
as long as defense is possible.
The army of Lee seems TO have gone to the
defense of Petersburgh and other threatened
points south and west of Richmond, but they
have not been able to protect their roads
leading to the more southern States and upon
which they are dependent for their supplies
Our cavalry have cut 10 greater or less extent
all their roads. and the injury inflicted on
some of them are of very serious nature.
The last official dispatch from Secretary
Stanton speaks Of important movements in
progress. What they are it is impossible to
say, but few days will probably develop
them to the public.
Gen. Hunters force, which has been SC
highly successful in the Shenandoah Valley
has effected junction with Grant, and is now
aiding in the direct movement against Rich.
mond.
From Gen. Shernan's command the advices
continue to be highly encouraging, with prom
ise Of important results. Our advance though
slow is coustan'; and there has thus far been
no retrograde movement, or serious defeat il
any of the numerous assaults upon the enemy'f
lines, while in all instances in which he has
yentured 10 assume the offensive he bas been
most dsastrOusly repused. The victory
claimed by the rebel papers over Hooker's
command, proves to have been just the re-
verse, the victory having been on our side
with large captures of prisoners, guns &c.
From the Gulf Department there is nothing
of interest. The rebels continue to FIRE occas-
iopallv into boats on the Mississippi river
but the force that for short time blOckaded
the river at point south Of Vicksburg' has
been driven of.
A despatch from Gen. Foster, in command
or our forces near Charleston, says the rebel
commander has notified him that Eve of our
officers have been placed in range of our guns
bearing upon Charleston and asking for per,
mission to place an equal number OF rebel
officers in position of like exposure by way

A large and enthusiastic meeting to ratify
the nomination OF Lincoln and johnson, was
held at Columbus Tuesday evening, eloquent
speeches being made by Ex-Governor Denni-
son, Ex- x-Governor Tod, Hon. G. Delsno, and
Hon. G. v. Dorsey, our delegates for the State
at large to the Baltimore Convention. SINH
lar meetings have been held at New York,
Pittsburgh, Indiana polls, aud numerous other
points. The attempt to divide the Union for

inees of the Baltimore Convention with un-
precedented unanimity.

about military operations, and finds hs1only
comfort in this statement: "If We sustain our
selves, or more, if we gaiu any signal advau-
lage over the enemy soon after the opening Of
the campaign, we may give the opposite sls-
ment of the North chance to combine and

HORRIBLE EXPLOSION At THE WASHINGTON AR
ReNH

WASHINGTON, June ia terrible explo-
sion occurred at the Washington Arsenal to-
day, few minutes before IL o'clock. II
seems that some red stars for fireworks had
been made and set out on black pans to dry.
They could not stand temperature of more
than 200 degrees, and under the hot sun soon
reached that. One of the stars ignited, which
set the remainder of, exploding the laboratory
The occupants of the building were all fe-
males. Upon the explosion terrible scene
was witnessed in the yard. There were about
1,2O0 men and 800 women at work, number
of whom were burned and bruised in endeav-
oring to get away. The alarm was immedi-
ately given and after the FIRE was extinguish-
ed, search for the bodies commenced
Eighteen bodies have thus far been taken out
OF the ruins, burned to a crisp; it was impOssi-
Bile to recognize them. Eight females were
taken out in sad condition and placed in the
hospital. The scene at the yard was of the
most heartrending description. The parents
of many of those at work in the building aud
yard rushed to the scene of the disaster to
make inquiries after the safety Of their chill
dren, but the names Of all whOl have periShed
cannot be ascertained until call of the roll
can be made and those who have been saved
are assembled.
