luton into the House requesting the Presi-
dent to notify the British Government that our
Government wishes to terminate the Recipro-
city Treaty, as soon as it can be done under the
provisions thereof.
in answer to communication of General
WALLACE. military commander of Baltimore,
Gov. BRADFoED of Maryland says the laws of
Maryland are amply sufficient to exclude dis
loyal voters from the polls, if the judges of
election do their duty. There will therefore be
no necessity for military interference in cleo
items.
The Prussians are still hammering away
at Duppel Notifications, and have achieved
some success at its approaches.
There is y report that Gen. DANA's force
on the Rio Grande and at Brownsville is to be

ity only to Assistant Treasures and National

Gold fluctuated yesterday from 6S11i to
665s, the closing figures. Mr.. CHASE is in the
market selling gold at $165. OF $4,000 re-
ceived at the Custom House yesterday 1910,
900 were in certificates. 1t will not take a
long time at this rate to exhaust his supply.
and then the brokers will again have clear
field.
Gen. GRANT and BADLY SMITH have
gone down to Fortress Monroe. General Bur-
LER, it appears, is not to be trusted with a
command in the field, and will have to coniine
himself to the proclamation business. "BAIDY'
will ION to + edmond" with General GRANT.
The plans of the campaign are being gradually
developed to the public.
Generals BUELL.. NEGLEY. NcCooK, CKrF-
TENpEN NEWTON, SYKES, and ten Brigadcrs
have been ordered to report to Gen. SHERMAN

Tennessee.
There is ruInor that GILMORE is about
heading in person another movement in
Florida.

on the part of the rebels this spting. An in
vasion is to be made in two columns, one
against Cincinnati, and another iato Pennsyl
vania.
-Natchitoches, La, has been capturel, and
a sufficient amount of cotton to cause decline
in the price of that staple in New Orleans.
sgg-Richmond papers of the 25th say large
federal force under BURNSIDE has landed al
Washington. North Carolina. BURNSIDE was
in Chicago OH the 18th, and could not have
been in North Carolina OH the Goth, but it is
Cite likely that a portion of his Corps (the
Ninth), which was ordered to rendezvous at
Annapolis, may have arrived, and is destined
for important W rk in connection with GRANTS
operations against Richmond.
The statement is again made of eXertiOns
in Washington to postpone tie meeting OF the
Republican National Convention from June to
September, and from Baltimore to Philadel-
phia. This movement is instigated by men,
bers of Congress opposed to Mr.. LINCOLN.
They argue, and with some plausiblitv, that
if the result of the summer campaign is un-
favorable, that Mr. LINCoLN's chances of cleo
ton will be very slim, and that if Gen. GRANT
achieves brilliant and decisive victories he will
be borne iuto the Presidential chair by ire
pressible popular enthusiasm despite all the
previous arrangements of political wire-pullers.
-FoRREsr. on the Goth, was reported eight
miles back Of Columbus His captures at
Union City numbered only 25o men.
An express train which left Louisville on
Monday, guarded by seventeen Federal SOL
ders, was captured by ten 'guerillas, and two
passenger cars burned The cowardly seven
teen surrendered to ten without firing gun.
Kentucky is now under command of General
BURnRIDGE, and if half of what we have heard
of this officer is true, we may expect that the
whole State will be overrun before long.
"A correspondent states that the Emperor
NAPOLEON refused to allow an interview be-
tween SIIDELI. and MAMMALIAN, after the lat
ter had assentcd. This story, also, is hardly
credible.
Gen. BANKS has degraded from his rank,
and confined at Dry Tortugas, an officer of the
regular ar,:y, attached to the Corps a. AtriQae,
for an attempted violation of,powerless Wo-
men. Gen. BANKS well observes that the cOun-
try does not wish in It's service men who dis
grace the uniform they wear.
