whether we should be received back into the
Union as States or not.

forts to urge his men, they could not be in

South, and he told me that the Salisbury and
Danville prisoners would be coming right

Soon after the argument Of this part OF
the testimony before the committee on the
conduct of the war, Lieut. Gen. Grant came
into the hall accompanied by several friends
As soon as he was noticed crowds gathered
around him to such an extent as to interfere
with the order of business.
Mr.. Mallory moved that the House take q
recess of five minutes to pay their respects
to Gen. Grant This was unanimously
agreed to. and the members generally
then thronged around him and he then came
% the area in front Of the clerks desk, es-
c0rted by Representative Ordell. The men,
bers were formally introduced to him by
the Speaker Of the House. There were fire.
qucnt out6nrsts Of applause from the floor
and galleries.
Mr.. Schenck, in order that the Lieutenant
General might be officially introduced to
Representatives of the people, moved that
he be invited and escorted to the Speakers
stand. This was unanimously acuuiesced in.
Gen. Grant at this was escorted by the
Speaker to the stand, when the latter said:
Gentlemen, have the honor to introduce
70 you our heroic defender in the field-the
Lieutenant General of the armies Of the
United Statos-Ulysses s. Grant,"
The introduction was succeeded by anoth-
or outburst Of applause from the floor and
galleries. Gen. Grant bowed in acknowl-

TOTOMAC, reD. o. "A. NJ.
Nothing Of importance has transpirod on
the lines to-day although the weather has
been more favorable than for several days
past. The troops are busy building works
along the newly established line which. will
take some days to complete, when they will
commence erecting new quarters for them

patches from the Army Of the James men.
ton the renewed rumors Of prepar,tions ~
the rebels for the evacuation of R;chmon3
:. Deserters and Others, WHO came into the
National lines last Friday night unani-
mously concurred in the statement that the
enemy's artillery on the north side Of the
James River, in front Of the Union works
was being removed.
They also said that orders had been given
by Lee for the court martialine Of s1v 81
his men caught At distance Of half . mile
in the rear Of his lines.
They would seem to confirm the former
report, or 1t least indicate that somethine
more than ordinary was in progress ANON
the rebels in Richmond.
The Herald's dispatches from Sheridan
headquarters show that though everything
remains comparatively quiet in the She nan.
doah Valley, the strictest vigilance ia still
exercised by the National forces there and
the country is frequently patroled by scout
ing and accommodating parties.
The regular rebel troops are stat;oned At
dliierent points in the upper part Of the
Valley, but .guerriIlas are proving around
IN some OF the counties between Blue Ridge
and Allegheny Mountain. Z
The Trhunes Washington special Of the
18th says:
1t is generally credited tonight in official
circles that Branchvlle is in Sherman ms.
session, and that Charleston is benp evacu
ated.
1t is expected that Richmond and Viii
mington will be evacuated also. and that
the rebels will make desperate attempt to
concentrate their entire force and endeavor
to crush Sherman while he is in the into.
rior.
There is no doubt but that the stores. etc.

Nv. look to its abandonment Mt no distant
day.
The Petersburg Express says:
The fighting on Monday was very severe.
The timber and underg owth were literally
cut to pieces by balls and bullets. The
ground was fought over four times in con-
sequence Of the arrival of reinforcements IN
either side
The charge which broke the Yankee lines
late in the day is said to have been one Of
the grandest scenes in military annals The
Yankees lost between 1900 and 1000 in
killed, wounded and taken prisoners.
The Times says Henry s. Foote, late
member of the rebel Congress, sailed for
Europe on Saturday in the steamer City Of
Cork. The report that he had been sent to
Fort Warren is without foundation.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 10th saws:
The Union forces are making raids into
Florida, and at last accounts were advancing
on Ricos Bluff in unknown force.
The Augusta Constitutionalist says the
appointment OF Dick Taylor to a command
in the rebel army of Tennessee had inspired
the troops with fresh hope, and they were
in excellent condition.
