RECEIVING NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, June S.-Mr. Blaine is re.
ceiving his dispatches in the Senate Cham.
Der. Matt. Carpenter is also there and 9th.
er Senators crowd about Blaine as he reads
the dispatches.
He looks careworn. Edmunds is moi
present. Window read the dispatches owe,
Blaine's shoulder. Secretary Sherman re-
ceives his dispatches in his office at the
Treasury.
1t is rumored that Simon Cameron is in
the city, and that he had conference will
Sherman last evening. Sherman says the
report is untrue. .....
Great excitement prevails here at the
Capitol. Members have deserted theil
seats and congregated about telegraph in
struments TO hear the latest news. The
greatest anxiety and solicitude are be
trayed by the friends of the various candi
dates The result Of the first ballot was
something of a surprise.

without hardly developing the enemy's
position. Sheridan had gone off to the
right OF Hancock. think he said the
night before the attack or on the early
morning, "It did not matter which way
the thing went, Sheridan would get all
the credit there was in it anyway" The
Indifference he manifested aud the delay
and feebleness with which he attacked
the first day, caused me to say what I
did, viz: "They are not going to
amount to much, don't believe he
is going to fight" I did not like
to say anything to smirch the military
character of any one, and after the "lapse
of years" my memory of details, ETC., is
not as fresh as it was fifteen years ago.
The nomination of General Hancock by
the democracy is to catch soldier votes,
and as he has done nothing in civil ca
pacity but tickle the rebel element while
in command at New Orleans, he suits the
southern wing of the party, which wing
is the head and brains of the party. The
northern wing is the tail. They thought
in nominating Hancock they would have
nothing to defend in his past record, and
steal our glory for snppressing the
''slaveholders' rebellion" lam considered
a stalwart here. We have some of the
meanest, most unprincipled rebel demo-
Gratis in Indiana of any state in the
union. They did not have the courage
to take up arms and fight it out, but
stayed in the rear, both here and in Can
ada, and while here murdered enrolling
officers and passed resolutions declaring
the war a failure. Remember me to my
old friends, and come out here if you
want to see lively time. It's getting
red hot" Your friend, FOSTER.

Volga Gazette: Brookings came very
near suffering q serious confiagration on
Sunday night last. Some miserable
wretch placed four pounds Of powder un-

attempt to ignite it. But the fire was
discovered before reaching the powder
and the plan frustrated.
A correspondent of the Volga Gazette
writing from Huron say: It is an old

An Episode in the Career of Hancock.

Boston Traveller.
A few days since we published letter
sent by Colonel William V. Hutchings,
of this city, to General r. s. Foster, of
indianapolis, in which he asked him to
compare recollections as to an incident
in General Hancock's career, which hap
pened in the course of the fighting on
the james river. The following, which
is the full text of Gen. Fosters answer
to Col. Hutchings, brings out the Incl
dent in still clearer light:

was made July, 1864. We talked q
great deal, and I cannot, recollect
all the conversation in detail. He
was evidently jealous of Sheridan
and his attack was SO feeble and pro

with two or three captains my attention
was drawn by several familiar voices cry
ing, "Here's the doctor! Bring the colo
mel this way!" and group somewhat
larger than usual laid the tall figure Of
our colonel on the ground before me.
How ploud we had been of our colonel
of his valor, his steadiness, his courtesy,
his reputation! His very name was a
tower of strength to us. Officer and
private, all leaned on him alike. Our at
tachment to him was almost proverb in
the brigade. He had gone into that
assault the only mounted man, because
it was impossible for him to walk with
his Palmer leg among the felled trees
and tangled bushes of that half mile
or more OF plain over which his men
were to charge (?), and none but him
self should lead this regiment. I shud-
dered to think of having to take away
another limb from the already manned
body that had borne SO bravely his un-
MANNED, mighty, and alert spirit. Why,
he was but % years old A vision of the
fond father and mother, who had charged
me as I left home to look after their boy,
rose before me and wrung my heart, al
ready sore over the wounds of score of
other friends, whose blood had stained
my hands within an hour.
His clear blue eye met mine steadily,
his strong right hand grasped mine firm
ly, and the voice that could ring along
the line like trumpet had no waver in
it as it said: "How are you doctor ?
We've had a rough time of it. Now you
must do your best for me. can't lose
another limb, you know" Isaw that the
hurt in the head could be nothing seri.
Gus; a buckshot had scored the scalp to
the bone, and another had done the same
for the heel of his one foot. [ un:
did the bandage that bound
his left wrist and examined
it. A ball had entered on one side, and
lay near the surface of the other. His
eyes questioned me, and I replied: 81

ceased to suffer, but his dream was not
of home. "Doctor," he muttered, (talk

head Of my regiment again if you take
that off," In moment I had the bull
let in my hand, and saw with Joy tha

reason to hope that it had not shattered
the bones badly in coming through
which could hardly have been the cas-

DAN Polk, colored, a notorious
character here, made a speech to
such negroes as would listen to him,
at the courthouse last Saturday. He
complained Of the enormous tax he
had to pay the State, and seemed
fearful the burden of the entire State
debt would fall on him. He raved
for Wilson and low taxes. As mat
ter of curiosity we inquired of the tax
collector what amount of State tax
Dan had to pay, that he should be so
exercised about the State debt. We
we're shown the tax books, and ascer-
tanned that Dams entire State tax was
thirty cents, and that he had neither
paid that nor his poll tax, and the
constable was after him as a delin-
quent!
