FIRST limo of works in front of Rich.
mond, and occupied them.
On the morning of the 10th the
enemy attacked General Gilmore in
force, but was .gallan,ly repulsed.
General Gilmore refused to follow up
bis success by attacking.
In the meantime Grant had been
repulsed and compelled to change his
tactics. Instead Of marching direct
to Richmond, he made flank moves
ment to City Point. Thanks to
Buffers foresight, however, an inn
pregnable refuge was ready for him.
Grant could, therefore, also "bottle
up" his army.
Butler had, up to this time, in
spite of the treachery of the regular
army officers who were in supreme
command under him, done all that he
agreed. He had seized City Point
and Bermula Hundred by a surprise,
had brought his army, against all Oh
stacles and all opposition. and without
any considerable loss, into the outer
line of entertainments of Richmond,
and was there VIGOROUSLY awaiting
Grant; aud he compelled the recall of
every considerable body of Confeder-
ates from North and South Carolina,
and kept more than 10000 rebel
troops more than 10 days busy de-
Tending Richmond, so that they might
not join Lees army. He had also
cut tho Weldon Railroad two success
i've times, and torn up seven miles Of
it. He had cut the Petersburg Rail-
road and prevented the sending of
troops and supplies, and cut in many
places the Dsnv,lle Railroad, Lees
other supply road -
On the 18th, At midnight, the
enemy attacked Buffers position in
force. and WAS repeIled with enormous
loss. 1t lost 1900 men in Hickman :
front alone-or more men than Heck
mans brigade numbered.
But this valor did not avail much,
besides assuring the safety of the
armies of the Potomac and of the
james. The dilatoriness of Generals
Gilmore and Smith, the lstter's refusal
to push on to Richmond when he
captured the outer works, General

That time on it Was only a question OF

-PRR ENTS! J.

Ourextrenely low prices on Boys and Children's
Clothing will surprise you. We know it. We
have all kinds of good Clothing. The most de-
sirable variety, the most charming styles. All
new styles, every shade in vogue. Notwith-
standing the heavy sale we had in Clothing for the
youngsters, our stock is unbroken, in fact we may
say that it is more complete than eyer because
we have added new lines in anticipation of
greater rush than ever during the last few weeks.
1t will be noticed that the cheapest suits we sell
conform to style, so the poor boy can look as well
as his rich playfellow. WageWorkers and men on
small salaries with boys to clothe will find our
goods and prices right, While in the Fine and Ex-
ira Fine Grades we don't think there is a house in
the State can beat our stock.

UNCLE SAM NOT IN STRAITS.
Secretary Foster Denies the Story Of a DE-
pIeted Treasury.

NEW YORK. March l9-Secrctary Foster was
seen this morning by a reporter in reference
to a dispatch from Washington published tins
morning to the effect that payments OF money
TO those to whom it due were held back
owing to the present depleted state Of the
treasury. and that in order to tide over the
present emergency il might be necessary 10
encroach upon the SlO0. .O00. 900 gold reserve
The Secretary said: 1T is an old story There
is nothing new in il and il is no nearer correct
than when it first started. There are am
tions and they are being met and the business
Of paying salaries and claims is being expe-
dited rapidly as possible. There are
many different departments for which money
has TO be disblrsed that IT is a matter OF i'm
possibility for every one TO be paid ON
the same day, but there is no more delay
than is usual Some changes have taken
place in the methods that formerly obtained
For instance there is over $40, ,0o0, 900 which
has been lying in the national banks 10 the
credit OF the government which has now been
withdrawn and covered into the treasury. where
it properly belongs. A custom formerly
prevailed Of allowing the army and Navy
Departments, the State Department and other
departments tor which appropriations are
made, to draw the entire amount OF the annual
appropriation At once. leaving millions of dolars
to lay in national banks until it was noeoed.
and instead of being credited to the
surplus this was entered as q charge ags inst
the treasury. There being no necessity OF that
it has been discontinued, and only such
amounts as are needed are allowed 70 b.
