Courier states that in one of the cotton
mills Of that city was found, a day or
so ago, in opening some cotton bales,

found in the picker room, containing
eight or ten purcussion caps. On try

supposed that all are good. Had

been the consequence. 0 qg3tJ

The n. Y. Herald says "our opera
tions in Virginia now go on slowly |;
but we do not doubt of their success.

campaign to a speedy and decisive
conclusion against the rebellion, Mr..
Lincoln will DO as criminally respon-
sible for that failure as no has been
for every failure Of our armies hither-
TO; for, if we fail, it will be on account
of the incapacity of Butler and Sigel. 4"
