GENERAL SUMMARY.

We are indebted to Adj. Gen. Hodsdon for
copy Of his able report.
Congress has passed the bill cqualizing tho
pay Of soldiers-iurther than this. little Of
importance has been transacted since our last.
Hon. Charles Hale, Of the Boston Daily
Advertiser, has been confirmed Is Consul
General for Egypt, vice William S. Thayer,
deceased. r-~.r - ..-.s
Our losses in the Virginia battles will not
vary far from $4,000. OF this number are
5000 prisoners, while the proportion Of
wounded is unprccedcntedly large. Grants
reiniorcemcnts exceed this number.
The Lewiston Journal says that the small
pox has appeared In North Anson, causing
considerable commotion among the copper
heads, because they know that they catch
everything that's bad.
It is understood that arrangements have
been entered into between our Government
and that Of Spain for tho purpose Of render
ing up slave traders who escape from Cuba
to the United States and from tho United
States to Cuba. In this connection tho ar
rest Of Col. Jose Augusta Argucllcs is sig
niGcant.
Gen. Butler has removed tho .obstructions
from the James river, and our gunboats arc
going towards Richmond. A chart showing
tho location Of the torpcdocs vas found on
the man who was shot while attempting to
explode torpedo fow nights ago. Butler
has used 1t to good purpose.
Tho House Of Representatives has passed
n bill, which we hopo to SEQ pass the Senate,
dropping from tho army rolls oil Generals
not in active service on tho LIST Of July, un-
less retired by reason Of sickness contracted
on duty, wounds, or capture.
The copperhcads are "singins small over
Mcclellan, and arc evidently intending to
drop him rs candidate. This is cruel, for
Mac. has dono more for the Democratic party
than no ever did Tor his country. Mr.. Fi,z
John Porter Is talked Of candidate by some.
The notice that several Of our Maine ex-
changes have raised their prices for advertis-
ing and also their subscription price. Wo
shall try the old prices littlO longer, but If
printing material does not como down soon
within reasonable rates, shall follow suit, or
suspend publication altogether.
We have news of terrible battle on Mon
day between Butler and Beaureguard, tho
latter attacking tho former. The 18th corps
was doubled up and some confusion caused.
which was soon repaired. Every attack Of
the rebels was repulscd, but neither sidc
gained victory. Gen. Sheridan has COM
menccd another raid around Richmond.
Tho Boston Advertiser says that even tho
London Times. although its proof sheets arc
probably moro carefully read than those Of
any other paper in the world, sometimes
makes sad plumbers. AMr. wieass dictated
~ chairman at tho adjourned meeting Of tho
Garibaldi Working Mems COMMITTEES on tho
23d, and the Times made him present ofan
s, which was rather awkwardly placed. His
name was given as "Wiseass," very much to
the disgust Of tho gentleman in question,
who made very carly call at tho Times Of
fee that morning.

Removal ofTorpedocs.

WASHINGTON, May l6.
On the afternoon Of tho 18th inst, Command.

in placing torpedoes In the Rappahannock and
Ponkatauk rivers. An expedition was imme-
dately started out, who succeeded in finding
several of tho torpedoes. Four were exploded
and six others were got out of the river un.
harmed. They were made of tin cases, filled
with powder, and were to have been exploded
by percussion cap, q string leading to the
shore being arranged to set the cap of. The
amount of powder In them varied from thirty
to sixty pounds. A force of 200 rebels who
were watching the party placing the torpedoes

The Commercial Advertisers special Wash
ington dispatch OF this afternoon says
"The Stars adyices from the army OF the
Potomac speak Of the extreme difficulty OF
discovering the exact position OF the enemy,
who are very cautious, and have availed them
selves of the cover of the dense woods to
conceal their operations, their pickets only
being seen. The roads arc described as in q
frightful condition, delaying the progress OF
endorsements going to Grant, but BY this
time they must have joined him In sufficient
numbers to form very handsome addition
to his army. II is believed that reinforce
ments ore reaching Lee, but not in any great
degree commensurate with his needs, and
there is no doubt, from the weakness shown
by the Confederates at other points in the
Confederacy where they are being pressed,
that pretty nearly the extent of its resources
in the way Of fighting men had been hurried
up to Lees support previous to Grants ad-
vance, leaving very little reserve for him.
A Baltimore letter reports the passage
through there during the past week OF
great number of troops to reinforce Gen;
Grant. Between 5000 and 5000 passed
throagh Yesterday. The 9th N. Y. cavalry,
1900 strong, stationed for some time at Bal
timore, has gone to tho front.
There is not the slightest grain for truth
that Stuart's cavalry has made raid within
our lines.
