New York, June 12.-One mil

Augusta, Ca, June u. A
United States soldier, cut with a
razor in the bowels by negro
barber, in an alteration last night
died this morning.
Gen. Mcdowell formally as
sumes command of the Fourth
District, comprising Mississippi
and Arkansas.
% The World has taken the
trouble to give a comparative
statement Of troops and the loss
es of General Grant and Gener-
al Lee in the celebrated campaign
between the Rapidan and the
James. Those who are acquaint-
ed with the facts know that this
statement is a close approximation
to the truth. Here it is:
Grant on assuming command
May 4, 1864, had of effective men,
besides the reserve, when he
crossed the Rapidan, $4,000.
Lee at the same date had an
effective force of $4,000.
Grants reinforcements up to
the battle of Cold Harbor, June
3, were $4,000.
| Lees reinforcements up to the
same date were $4,000.
Grants total force, including
reinfOrcements was $4,000
| Lees total including reinforce
ments, was 10000.
Returns to their respective Gov,
ernments showed that when both
armies had reached the James.
June 10, the number Of Grants
army that had been put hors du
combat was $4,000.
Up to the same date the mum
Der of Lees men who had beer
put hors du combat was 10000.
The two armies then met il
front of Petersburg.
The oblivious reflection upor
the exhibit is, that General Grant
having unlimited resources anC
capital fighting material, did not
in the least know how to handle
and to lead it; that he sacrificed
$4,000 human lives in series o
stupid blunders; in short, that HI
knows no more of the military ar
than he knows of the law of til,
land or Of anything else; and thai
when he received General Lees
5 sword under that apple-tree a
Appomattox, he had no more
merit in effecting the result ant
knew no more about it, than tn,
apple-tree itself.
. However that may be, he is nov
put forward as the champion ant
standard bearer of a powerful par
ty; and we do not object to hin
either as a soldier, or as stupiC
and incompetent soldier. The ter
J rible and fatal objection to him is
4 that he is nominated by a party
which avOws its determination t
trample upon all law, and that b
o accepts the nomination expressl
y upon that footing.-[ Irish Citizen

A special dispatch TO the New York Herald.
dated Richmond. January q, SAYS: sQuite a
stormy scene took place IN the Convention to-
day that nearly illuminated a general aud
probably bloody nele.. While Mr. Hunnicutt
was replying 10 the scathlng record given OF
HIM yesterday by Mr.. Gibson. Cons~rya,i,e,
ELECTED by his taunts on Nirginians as rebels
and traitors, he went far beyond the recosni zed
latitude of speaker, and called Henry A
Wise and II. nj. L. Hunter traitors. This
brought Mr.. r. " Hunter, Conservative dele
gate and relative of the ex-senator to his feet
who said: If you say X. NJ. T. Hunter II
traitor, YOU are a liar, and i hurl the lia in
your teeth Mr. Liggaft then arose and
Endorsed the language OF Hunter, and a most
Understandable scene then ensued. Dir Norton
colored member, moved that the parties b. rep
rmanded. The Chair was thoroughly Devil
dered. and looked terrified. For a time n was
feared a general melee would grow out of tn.
matter. Many began 10 feel for their pistols
and, amid the confusion one revolver on the
Radical side of the house dropped on the floor
The sergeant-at-arms roared =. Order - in vain.
and the Chair brought down has hammer for
nausht while the excitement prevailed. The
remarks OF Hunnicutt are generally condeIn ned
and even the adicals do not countenance IN :
course in this matter. Half the house were on
their feet at the same time. but order wac ulti-
mately restored, and the affair referred for in -
yestigatlon 10 an appropriate committee. Much
feeling exists IN consequence OF this. and mSy
Yet result m an encounter brtween the Opposing,
