Commissioners. This was an assurance that the
work would be fairly done. And we have fur
thor stated that 1t had been suggested that the
same avenue be continued along Harlem river,
taking q curve to Spuyten Duyvil creek, and,
running along the Hudson river. through the
charming and picturesque scenery Of Washing
ton Heights, re-enter the Park by way Of the Ele-
venth avenue-msking q circular road or
pleasure drive without an equal In the world
for beauty and extent. This proposition, We
understand, meets the hearty appreciation Of
property holders and taxpayers, and all
others who take an interest In enhancing
the alluring beauties Of the Park, con-
ndent that the measure will inure to the
common benefit Of the citizens of New York;
and what adds much toward securing
the success Of the proposal when it Is brought
before the next session of the Legislature is
the fact that the intention is to place the entire
business in the hands Of the Park Commits
sioners, who have thus far worked so nobly
and SO faithfully for the people in carrying out
the design Of grand public pleasure ground,
and who will, without doubt, labor with the
same assiduity and fidelity in communicating the
proposed improvement. With the adoption Of
this plan, and the selection of the Park Com
missioners to carry it out, the irritating con-
test which has bothered the Legislature hitherto
about the cutting up of that romantic region,
the Switzerland of Washington
Heights-into SO many grog-loafng corners
and streets will be ended forever, and an i'm
movable incubus placed upon the efforts Of
those disturbing and specializing spirits who,
in breaking up cherished localities and memo
rable landmarks, look only to their own per-
sonal advantage. The citizens and taxpayers
of the region particularly concerned in this
grand Improvement Of the Park-the erection of
a magnificent circular drive of some ten miles
in sxtent-should begin to move earnestly in
the matter. and see that the great object is not
defeated by any want of energy and resolution
on their part. By its success new attraction
will be added to the pride Of New York, q
new charm united to its already innumerable
graceful and health-inspiring features, and =
new emotion of pride and satisfaction Gil the
public heart.

Gun WOUNDED SOLDIERS IN THE HOSPITALS.
Complaints reach US from the hospitals where
so many Of our wounded soldiers are lying
The men state that tho food they get is of
an inferior qualhy-such as even we'll man
could not relish; that comforts such "a should
be at the disposal Of the sick and wounded are
withheld, and that in some instances an INSULT
cheney Of nourishment is offered. Taking into
consideration the vast sums given by the peo-
pie towards the alienation Of the suffering Of
the sick and wounded soldiers, and the duty Of
the government In that respect, no such COM
plants should be made with justice. We are
aware that at period when hundreds are be-
ing wounded daily the care Of these sufferers
is o momentous affair and that In the hurry OF
the moment some must suffer. Still we deem
1t duty to all that attention should be called
to these matters, that those directly concerned

occasion for complaints may exist While on
this subject we would state, for the benefit Of

Under the energetic and skilful direction Of
General Hunter our forces in Western Virginia
promise to become once more of some account
In the campaign against Richmond. According
to news derived from rebel sources, General
Hunter on the 5th instant fought and defeated
the rebel General w. e. Jones at Mount Craw-
ford, few miles south Of Harrisonburg.
General Jones was killed, and his successor,
pursued apparently by General Hunter, fell
back through Staunton to Waynesboro, Gen
eral Hunter occupying Staunton. Staunton is
an important point on the Virginia Central
Railroad, beyond Gordonsville and Charlottes-
vile. Waynesboro is on the same road nearer
to Richmond
This victory is more important one than it
would at the first glance appear to be. Though
the battle at Mount Crawford was fought ty a
comparatively small force, it determines foAus
the concentration Of our forces in Western Vir-
ginia. United in single command these seat
teriRg forces will make considerable body of
troops, and whether this body joins General
Grant, or whether it acts separately though
directly under his influence, it will doubtless
materially affect the result Of our operations.
From the armies under Generals Grant and
Sherman there is no news of further move
ments.

The New York TIMES SLANDERINa GENERAL
GRANr.-On Friday last an action occurred be-
fore Richmond of which General Grant gave
the following official account:-"We assaulted
at halcpast four driving the enemy within his
intrenchments at all points, but without gain
ing any decisive advantage. Our troops now
occupy position close to the enemy--some
places within fifty yards-and are remaining.
Our loss was not severe, nor do j suppose the
enemy to have lost heavily. We captured
over three hundred prisoners, mostly from
oil the other papers, including the first Of the
reports published by the Times give fuller
details Of this action. but do not differ in re
gard to its main features.
On Tuesday morning. however. the 1inas
came out with long account of the battle,
printed in the largest type and covering over
page of the paper. This report purported TO
be written by literary man, who
claims to be considered philologist. but
who has no practical knowledge Of mill
tary affairs It reviews Grants campaign,
declares that Fridays battle was the
most important Of all. and argues that
General Grant was very badly beaten and the
rebels undoubtedly successful Upon this re-
port the World bases a copperhead article at

to help the cause Of the rebels
Our readers will remember that the Balti-
more Convention assembled on the very morn
Ing that the Times published this report; and
we have no doubt that it was written, at the
suggestion OF the Chevalier Raymond, to injure
General Grant and assist Mr.. Lincoln in that
Convention The Times has shown itself SO
utterly inscriptions In its advocacy OF
Old Abe that this theory is undoubtedly
correct. II the Times report be true, then
General Grants report must be false. To
suggest this, and to make out that Grant was
beaten general, was the object OF the Times
article.
We have no words adequate to express our
Reproduction Of such dishonest and malicious

The report is calculated to aid and comfort the
rebels as well as the shoddy politicians, for
whose benefit it was written We ask candid
comparison between General Grants report
and the Times article, and after making this
comparison no man can resist the conviction

Gay TO gorgeousDcss ia our beautiful Park in
these bright sunshiny June days. Every hour
in the day it presents some scene Of enchanting
beauty, with its acres Of glitterlng flowers,
whose aroma fills the air and soothes the
senses: its unrivalled emerald lawns, its beau
tiful trees and shrubbcry, its pretty lakelets,
its well kept and marble-like drives, walks and
rambles, and, above all, with IFS thousands of
bright aud happy faces-men, women and
children-wbo visit it, either as pedestrians, in
small family picnic groups, or upon horse
back, or in equipages whose brifliancy and
polish dazzle tue eye in the vivid sunlight
all 70 enjoy the rare pleasure afforded by
few hours relaxation upon the delightful and
cheerful spot. To attempt to add to the
present attractions Of the Park would seem
like attempting to "gild refined gold or to
add fresh perfume to the violet" But so it is
The Park is such an idol with our citizens, and
they all have such an unwavering confidence
in the probity and honor of the Park Com
missioners, that whatever proposition Ia
made calculated to add to its attractions, as
we have before intimated, is cordially ap-
proved. A few words further in regard to
the Park Commissioners, which will probably
furnish clue to the reason for the confidence
which our citizens repose in them in relation
to the expenditures for identifying the Park
grounds and keeping them In their present
high state Of excellence. 1t is notorious fact
that scarcely an appropriation for matter
OF public ornament or utility has been made
by our city governmment for many years
past that has not been improved as an oppor-
tunity for robbing the public treasury; and
so dlsgusted have our tax payers become In
consequence Of the fragrant acts Of swindling
which have attended the expenditure Of some
OF these appropriations that they view with
suspicion nearly every proposal for an affair
OF public ornament and recreation, fearing
that IL may be connected with some plumber
Ing scheme or other ON the part of corpora
ton jobbers. This II SO far from being
the case In regard to the Park Commits
sioners that taxpayers aver, without hest
tation, that the money appropriated BY the city
for tho purchase and benefit Of the Park grounds
Is the only money appropriated for similar
purpose for which the citizens ever received
corresponding return. Hence the confidence
Of taxpayers In the integrity Of the gentlemen
the commission, and hence their
willingness to concede TO any proposition ema-
mating from respectable class Of citizens In
tended to enhance the present and prospective
and value OF the Park.

lature authorized the extension Of the Seventh
