thousand bales of cotton have been dis
covered hidden or buried in and around
Charleston The black ioyalists have
defeated all the efforts of the rebels and
the semi-rebels to conceal their precious
staple 1t was thought, when we cap
tured Charleston, that we would not get
more than four or FIVE hundred bales. If
willingness to take the cath of allegiance
be true test of loyalty, Charleston is
very, far from beinga "hot bed of trea-
son. Thirty-two hundred persons have
already held up their right hands. kissed
the Bible, and solemnly declared that
they would ''true allegiance bear" to the
Government Of the United States The
colored Methodists of the city are in
doubt whether to join the N. E. Church
of the North OF the African NJ f. Church.
They prefer the former, but want equal
rights in the National Conference with
the white members. and no colored gale
ries or other marks of separation which
they have suffered while in the NJ. Z.

hear only accredited agents of the Afri-
cal, NJ E. Churches before making their

A correspondent in narrating Sheri-
dams splendid achievement at Five Forks
relates the following:
A colonel with shattered regiment
came down upon US in charge. The
bayonets were fixed; the men came on
with u yell; their gray uniforms seemed
black amid the smoke their preserved
colors, torn by grape and ball, waved de-
family; twice they halted, poured in
voIleys, but came on again like the surge
from the fog, depleted, but determined :;
vet in the hot faces of the carbineers,
they read a purpose as resolute, but more
calm, and. while they pressed along,
swept all the while by scathing volleys,
a group of horsemen took them in flank.
1t was an awful instant: the horses re-
coiled; the charging COLUMN trembled
like single thing, but at once the rebels,
with rare organization, fell into hollow
suuare, and with solid sheets of steel de
fed our centaurs. The horsemen rode
around them in vain; no charge could
break the shining squares, until onr dis
mounted carbineers poured i'll their vol
leys afresh, making gaps in their spent
ranks, and then in their wavering time
the cavalry thundered down. The rebels
could stand no more; they reeled and
swayed, and fell back broken and beaten
and on the ground their colonel lay, seal
ing his devotion with his life

MAC, April 9th.
To Lieut. Gen. Grant:
At daylight this morning moved the
Cd, 5th and 9Th army corps along the rail
road in the direction of Dinwiddie Court
House. Soon after moving reliable in-
telligence was received that the enemy
was moving toward Farmville. The di-
rection of the I'd and 5th corps was
changed from northernly to a north
westernly direction, and the directing

the 5th, heretofore in the center, moved
on the right of I'd, and the 9th facing
about and passing by the left flank, TAX

was understood the cavalry would oper-
ate on the extreme left.
The changes were promptly made, the
I'd army corps becoming engaged with
the enemy, near Deat0reville, driving
him by night across Sailors creek to the
Appomattox. The 5th army corps made
a long march, but its position prevented
its striking the enemy's column. Before
it had passed, the 9Th corps came up with
the enemy about 4 p. m, and in conjunc-
ton with the I'd on the right and cavalry
on the left attacked and routed the enc

them 1t. Gen. Ewell and Gen. Curtis Lee.

miii.nr, Interference in Elections.

Military Interference I'm Efeenons.
The Boston Courier eongratulates the
country upon the passage Of the law to
prevent officers OF the army and navy
from interfering in elections in the States.
1t says: ~ --a
"Had the act been passed at an earlier
date, so that direct and indirect military
interference with the last fall elections
had been understood by the people to be
illegal and to subject the offenders to
punishment, there can scarcely be ad0nbt
that MARYLAND, Missouri. Illinois, lndi-
ana, Pennsylvania and New York would
have cast their votes for Mcclellan
These, with the votes thrown by Ken,
tucky, New jersey and Delaware, would
have secured democratic majority
While there can be little doubt that II
there had been no military interference
with the last fall elections, they would
have resulted as the Courier states, we
are by no means confident that If the
law had been in existence at that time
il would have prevented such ihterter-
ence. The officers who interfered with
elections were transgressing law in fact
i'm doing so, but this consideration did
not restrain them. which augurs I'LL for
their observance of more explicit stat
ute. The contempt for law aud for the
rights of political opponents which per
mjtted their intervention in elections
must be eradicated before we can hope
they will treat with respect legal restric-
tiOns, however clear.-ChicdgO Times
