Colonel Baker is still making arrests of
Substitute Brokers and others engaged in

cannot be made public for several days.

The Senate Naval Committee are consider

depot on the Northern lakes. Parties
favorable to Cleveland have had hear

urging other points on the lakes, before
they make report.
The HeraIds Washington special says
Colonel Wagner Swan, of the AID Ohio
hss been brevetted Brigsdier General for

The Richmond Ezani'lsT, in sn article
abusing Mr.. Lincoln and Cabinet, says
Mr.. Seward has done US service
before he undertook to use the high
and holy purpose of peace-making to serve
the low and mean ends Of party. The
people of these States were deceived. A
portion Of them believed the enemy would
give them honorable terms of peace if
they agreed to reconstruct the Union, and
under this belief there was growing par

It is not impossible that the scene Of
discord that has distracted this city has
made gloomy and diseontented the people
Of these States, and cast 8 cloud over the
buoyant spirit Of our army, may have en-
coursged Mr.. Seward to propose his dis
honorable terms, that the enemy might

GEN. LE1'S RBPORT OF THE LATE
BATTLE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.
General Lee gives the following dolefuI
account Of the late fighting below Peters
burg:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY NoRTHEREl
VIRGINIA, February 6.
To General S. Cooper: The enemy moved
8 strong force yesterday to Hsteher's run.
Part of his infantry with Gregg's cavalry
crossed and preceded on the Vaughan road,
the infantry to Cat Tail creek, the cavalry
TO DinWiddie Court House, where its sd-
vance encountered q portion Of our caYsl-
~ and retired. In the afternoon part Of
Hills and Gordon's troops demonstrated
against the enemy on the left of Hatcher's
run near Armstrong; Mill. Finding him
entrenched they withdrew after dark.
During the night the force that had
advanced beyond the creek returned to
it and were reported to be recrossing. This
morning Pegrsm's division marched to the
right bank of the creek to reeonnoitre,
when it was vigorously attacked. The bat
tie was obstinately contested several hours,
but General Pegram being killed, while
brsvely encouraging his men, and Colonel
Hoffman wounded, some confusion occur
red, and the division Wss pressed back to
its original position. Evans division was
ordered by General Gordon to the support
Pegram's, and charged the enemy and
forced him back, but was In turn compelled
to retire. MohsVs's division arriving the
enemy was driven rapidly to the defsnses
on Hatcher's run.
Our loss is reported TO be small, and that
of the enemy is not supposed to be great.
