will bring up our rear. The army moves
with celebrity never known before. We
will make twenty miles before night.
Sheridan is ahead securing the country.
Lee evidently thought we were going to
turn his left, and give battle on the north
side of the South Anna, but he is outgener-
aled, and by night we will be within four
hours march of Richmond.
Once getting Lee in his works, we go
round his flank and into his rear. The whole
country hereabouts is planted with corn.
The pasture is very fine. We sweep all be-
fore us, horses, cattle, mules, contrabands,
all fall into our train.

'The GuerriIIns at Worle.

CAIRO, May 30.-The steamer Graham,
with Memphis dates of the 9th, arrived
last night. On the morning of the 25lh
the gunboat Curlew was attacked at Gaines
Landing, fifty miles below Napoleon, by a
rebel battery of ten guns, eighteen and
twenty Founders. The fire was returned.
A brisk engagement ensued for half an
hour, when the rebels were driven off.
The Belle of st. Louis, from Memphis,
has arrived with one days later dates. The
U. 5. hospital boat Thomas, in charge of
DR.. III. Hains, had arrived from Red river
with about two hundred of the wounded in
the engagement at Yellow Bayou. Twen-
ty-nine boats had arrived at Vicksburg
with Gen. A. j. Smiths command.
The steamer Longworth was fired into
on Wednesday last by a rebel battery of
six guns from the Arkansas shore, near the
Columbia. The boat was beyond range,
and passed on without injury. The steam
er Sallie Listabo was fired into the follow
ing morning by the same battery, and the
pilot badly wounded.

Much excitement existed yesterday at Pa
ducah in consequence of various rumors of
the approach of Buford, with force esti-
mated at 500 to 1000. This force is said to
have been at Maytield yesterday. The mil
itary authorities are prepared to repel any
attack attempted. 1t is not likely they will
allow the enemy to remain in the vicinity

Grant RecrOsses the North Anna
Lee left 10 Enjoy his Position.

New YORK, May 3O.-The Times special
says Grants reconnaissance on Wednesday
showed the rebels III full force, and holding
powerful position In our immediate front,
somewhat in advance of Little River; the
ground was also very favorable to him, and
he had occupied every hour in fortifying.
If driven back from here he had elaborately
prepared line on the South Anna to fall
back upon. Grant, therefore, determined
to recross the North Anna, swing round to
the left over the Pamunky, and leave Lee
to enjoy his position. A cavalry demon
stration was made to divert the attention of
the enemy while Grants movement took
place, which proved successful; for when it
was accomplished the rebels were com
pletcly taken by surprise.
The Herald's correspondent saysa wound
ed rebel officer estimates that their loss in
the late battles reached thirty thousand.
The Times special says Ledlie's brigade,
the 10th regulars, the 35th, 36th, 57th and
59th Massachusetts, and 4th regulars, met
with repulse on crossing the North Anna.
They had crossed the river, and were driv-
ing in the rebel skirmishers when charge
was made instantly from concealed bate
ry of four or six guns; the rebels opening
terrible fire of grape and canister. The
brigade fell back to cover in piece of
woods, when In the height OF q thunder
storm, the rebels charged and drove our
men toward the river, just us another brig
ade came up and checked the advance of
the enemy. Four hundred and fifty of the
brigade were killed, wounded or missing.
The Worlds special says there was con-
siderable skirmishing on Friday, but no
heavy fighting near Hanover Court House.
Grants movements are progressing well
and rapidly. Most of the casualties are
among the New England regiments.

THE CITY.
SHOCKING SUICIDE.
"A Respectable Woman Cuts Her
Throat With a Razor In a Mo-
mentary Fit of insanity.

A melancholy affair occurred in Franklin
township, of this county, on Sunday last,
which resulted in the death of most esti-
mable and respectable woman, the wife of
William A.kire, well known farmer of
that township.
Mrs. Alkire had been extremely unwell
for several days. and had lost two or three
nights sleep. On Sunday her husband
came to the city for doctor, and while he
was away his wife was left in charge oftwo
grown daughters Mrs. A. told her daugh-
ters that if they would leave the room in
which she was lying she thought she could
sleep. Her daughters retired and were out
of the room not moIe than fifteen minutes.
On returning to the room they found their
mother with razor in her hand, with
which she had cut her throat in five places,
severing the jugular vein. She had string
tied about her neck as if she had prepared
to bleed herself. When herdaughters came
In she appeared to awake to realization of
some dreadful calamity of which she was
before unconscious, snd she exclaimed, 20,
what have 1 done, why did do it'll"
AL that could be done by the family was
done to save the unfortunate woman, and
neighboring physician was called in, but
before he could effect anything she died.
The sorrow into which the family was
plunged by this melancholy affair, can
scarcely be imagined. 1t is supposed that
the deed was committed undera fit of mo-
mentary insanity, in which the victim was
unconscious of what she did.
