policeman, whose beat includes the corn r. of
Fifteenth and Willow streets. while standing
upon that corner wishing for the advent Of
daylight, saw a dark object fall from the third
story window, two doors above, with dull
thud upon the sidewalk. This gave a sudden

the object and found that it was man name /

out Of the window. The unfortunate man
was taken up in shocking condition. with
many bones broken. The neighborhood was
aroused by the knocking of the policeman

unreasonable hour the sufferer was conveyed

Union Speech in Rebel Legislature.

The great speech of Mr.. Hainc., delivered
in the House Of Commons of North Carolina,
on the 10th ultimo, is attracting much atten-
ton. His argument favoring restoration of
the Union is as fearless AS it is able. The
irresponsible representatives in the rebel Con-
gress from Kentucky, Missouri and other
states. who have no constituents, and who are
assisting to bind the letters upon North Caro-
lima. are severely handled by him.
He holds that North Carolina has perfect
right to dissolve her allegiance with the con-
tederute government. and enter into sepa-
rate negotiation with the United States for
peace. He proves secession to be failure,
and says that Sherman is moving forward
through South and North Carolina to co-ope-
rate with Grant in the reduction of Richmond
and the capture Of Lees army that great as
this undertaking may seem, it is not half so
great as was that of his march from Dalton
to Savannah.

bic spirits over their present brilliant prospects

THE CAPTURE OF TWO MAJOR GENERALS.

cursons of guerillas into Western Maryland

the attention of the Commander of the De-
partment to the necessity of being more vigil

Only the day before the capture he had re-
peated his dispatches on this subject. That
two Major Generals, one of them the Depart

The mail steamer Dictator, which arrived
here this morning from City Point, brough,
up nearly one thousand passengers, which,
will be accounted for from the fact that all

Army of the Potomac have been ordered to
leave the Naes.
Parties from the front report that our look
outs and the various signal stations have
within the past few days discovered large
bodies of Rebel troops moving to and fro,
which leads to the belief that Lee is receiving
reinforcements from Beauregard's army, or is
massing his troops at some point for the pur.
pose of attacking our lines. Our troops are
necessarily watchful, and will not be caught

On Saturday considerable canonading and
picket firing occurred between the con;ending

contIn uous cannonading occurred on the APP

as if . great confagration was in progress
The cause of this firing was not known at
City Point when the Dictator left yesterday
morning.
Two hundred anil sixtyfour Rebel desert
ers were brought up on the Dictator, the
largest number that has come into our lines
at any one time thus far which goes to show
that the dissatisfaction in the Rebel army is
rapidly increasing, causing corresponding
depletion of Lees army.

Dcserters who came into our lines on
Thursday and Friday say that the people of
Petersburg had been notified by the Rebel
military authorities to remove themselves and
and their effects from that city within four
lays.
There are other circumstances which tend
to confirm the belief that Lee will soon con-
tract his lines by evacuating Petersburg and
falling back behind the Appomatiox river.
