Lieut.. Gen. Grants communication with
the White House is complete and sll works
we'll. Richmond papers Of the Both have
bean received here. They have changed
their views with regard to Gen. Grant
They say that they have been undertaking
him, and that he is smarter than they had
dreamed Of, and manifest some fears in re-
gard to the safety Of Lee, or rather as to
his success in repelling the Yankee army.
A ,messageI from Grant reports that on
Monday morning cur army had reached
MechaDicsville with but little opposition
Gen. Sheridan had routed the enemy's Cav
airy ct all points. Captured many prison
ers. Heavy oAnnonading Was heard in
direction Of MechaniosVihe.
The steamer Thomas Powell has just ar
rived from Bermuda Hundred ALI was
quiet with Buffers forces. The steamer
C. ". Thomas with bearer Of dispatches
from General Grant has arrived fr m the
White House. A portion Of Grants force
arrived at Mechsnicsyille yesterday morn
ing, and lad not encountered the enemy in
force in that town.
Sheridsn's cavalry had several skirmish-
ishes with the enemy and routed them.
Heavy cannonsding was heard in the di-
rection Of NecbsnicsVile yesterday.
The highest hopes are entertained by
those competent to judge Of the situation.
The following order has been issued by
General Butler, in sScOrdsnce with the
ordsrs from the War Department and for
sundry reasons no bodies will be disin-
TERED in this dlstrict until the 1st Of
October. By order Of, Major General

A telegram to headquarters from Rolls,
Missouri, May 30th, states that train Of
Union refugees from JscksoDpori Arksn-
as, nnder en- escort Of 10 men Of the I'd
Missouri cavalry, was attacked at Salem,
Arkansas, by 800 guerriilas. The train

On Friday last ten men of detachment

the convention +; ave ourselves hal but
little hope in the success Of this conven-
ton, for war is poor time to make pOlit-
cal radical experiments; the peepis. look
to the battle field and ask what will
smother Week bring fOrth-but especially
did We little expect that there would be a
convention Of less than 1000 persons at
least we expected that the signers of the
calls would have been here, but neither
Grstz Brown nor PretOriOus Of Missouri
nor did Fred. Knapp and others Of New
York appear"
From this we infer that the Waeohter
Al Erie does not intend to support Cen
era Fremont, and iU this decision it acts
wisely. The Germans are a patriotic peO-
pie. In Europe they are schooled in the
love Of fatherland. They are more rsdi-
cal than other men because Of their burn-
ing love Of liberty and intense hatred Of
oppression. At times, they allow their
impulses to carry them too far, as we feel
assured they are doing in their advocacy
Of an independent candidate.
As itnoW stands the more vofas thar
can cast for Fremont the more do they
weaken the Union strength Of the
country. We think therefore the Waech-
ter Am Erie will be ardently supported
by The more rejecting portion of the Ger.
mans.

We recorded some time ago the fact that
the Austrian Baron Lenk has eontriVed
preparation Of gun cotton, which could be
used IS substitute for gunpoWder. The
process has been perfected, and gun-sottOn
for this purpose is now manufactured as
an article Of commerce by an English CON-
pany, the Great Eastern Chemical Works,
Messrs. Thomas, Prentice & Co., who offer
to supply it "either for purposes Of mining,
engineering, for military and submarine
explosion, or for artillery use"
For artillery the manufacturers claim
that the same initial velocity Of the pro-
jectile can be obtained by 3 charge Of gun
cotton one-fourth of the weight Of gun
powder; there is no smoke from the ex-
plosion it does not foul the gun; it does
not heat the gun to the luxurious degree
Of gunpoWder; it lessons the reooil; pro-
duces the same initial velocity with .
shorter barrel snd, used in shells, one
third the weight Of gun. cotton produces
double the explosive force, and breaks the
shell into more numerous pieces. Used in
naval warfare, IS well as in casemsted
forts, it is claimed that this preparation
OF gun. cotton is Of great advantage By
reason Of the absence Of smoke. 1t does
not heat or foul the gun in rspid firing;
time, lamp ead exposure do not injure its
qualities; it can be transported through
fire, without risk, simply BY being Wstted
when dried in the open air it RECEIVERS
all its power; it is free from liability to
spontaneous combustion; and its weight
is only one-sixth thst Of gunp0Wder.
1t is manufactured in the shape Of rope
or yarn, and the makers assert that it is
especially valuable in military engineer
ing; its peculiar localized action enables
the engineer to dastroy bridges and pslis-
sdes, and to remove every kind Of obstacle,
with great facility. Il all is true that is
claimed for it by the manufacturers, this
preparation Of gun-cotton must shortly
come into general in warfare it would
lessen transportation, which is . most i'm
portsnt point; and for use in forts and on
shipboard it would be particularly Vslua-
Bile. At any rate, it is already An article
Of commerce; the particulars mentioned
above We have taken from an advertise
msnt printed In an Engli'h journal We
suppose cur bureau Of ordnance has al
ready its, attention directed to this new
manufacture.-M. y PoSt.

EXECUTIVE DEPAKTHEET OF =


ONO, COLUMBUS, June let 1854.
The progress Of the present draft has
demonstrated that the enrolment lists Of
this State are exceedingly errop-
eous. Fully one half Of the persons
drafted thus far. have been exemp ted on
the ground Of over age, alenisge minority
or non residence. By the original sddi-
tion Of these names to our lists, our quota
was cOrrespcndingly increased and the
State made liable for more men than
would on correct enrolment have been
spportioned to US. Present indications
are, that with correct enrolment lists,
we would not have been subjected to
the present draft. In view Of the proba-
bilties of another call for troops, the
condition Of these lists becomes 3 matter
Of great Importance to the people of this
State. There have heretofore been sew
ersl obstacles in the way Of correcting
Potter, Assistant Provost Marshal Of the
State, that under full power delegated to
him, he will Issue instructions to his as
sistsnts and the B ,srds Of Enrollments to
make all proper corrections during the
next ten days, by striking from the rolls
all names they may find improperly there,
and adding such as they may find have
bsen omitted. Without aid from the peo-
D the labors Of these officers cannot Re
very effective. therefore sppesl to ell
citizens to give their attention to this
matter. Every county and township is
interested in it, and each township should
send one or two men, thoroughly acquaint-
ed in such townships, to examine the rolls
and aid in their corrections, and see that
names / OF properly there are stricken off,
and to add others if you know they should
20 on. Also see that the names Of men
now enlisted, or who have served two
years in the service, arc taken from the
rolls, and in each ward, see that these lists
are made as perfect as practicable
Ohio has no disposition to shrink from
her full share Of responsibility in this
great struggle, but our people h, We hith-
ertO SO well performed their duty that no
imputatiOn eau rest upon them for desir-
ing to equali5e the turthens Of the war,
by SO correcting her lists that only fair
quota Of men will be imposed upon her.
Very respectfully,
(Signed), JN0. BROUGH.
