on whatever upon them. The preposterous story that Fort Darling has been captured, and that the obstructions in the James river have been removed, is already exploded. Col. Dahlgren's Orders. The Washington correspondent of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican telegraphs as follows: The facts in regard to the correspondence between Gens. Meade and Lee, concerning the dispatches found on the body of Col. Dahlgren, are as follows: Gen. Lee addressed a letter to Gen. Meade, dated April 1, enclosing photographic copies of the papers, and asking whether they had received the sanction of Col. Dahlgren's superior officers, and were approved by the Government of the United States. For some reason Lee's letter was not received until the 15th. Gen. Meade referred the communication to Gen. Kilpatrick, who replied that they were not the instructions which he (Kilpatrick) had marked by an endorsement in red ink just before he and Dahlgren separated, and that he had never seen them be

grieve them, above all other things, did they believe it was in a fair way to stop. They love to hear of Confederate victories, because they detest the Yankees, and love to see their presumption rebuked. But they would not be rejoiced to hear of a victory which should destroy the Yankee army, and render our independence a thing of absolute certainty. That we have not overrated the prosperity of the British Isles, will appear from the following extract taken from the London Mail, of April 1st. Observe how the writer exults in the calamities of other people: "Again the Revenue tells the welcome late of increasing prosperity amid all the troubles which darken the lands around us. There is scarce a day that an Englishman of ordinary feeling is not grieved by the news of fresh catamities which ambition or sectional hatreds are bringing on the world; and week after week shows some of our neighbors advancing in the path which leads to financial rule. But all the consolation wh

re Mr. Palmer had an occasion to use the money he had put in his pocket a few minutes before, when, to his great surprise it was not there. This fact left no doubt on his mind that S was the party who had taken it, and a warrant was thereupon obtained for his arrest. When taken into custody he denied taking the packages from the pocket of Mr. Palmer, but subsequently, during an interview between himself and Mr. Bailey, at the cage, he confessed to having stolen from the safe, since the 1st of April, about eleven thousand dollars in new currency. Mr. B then asked him whether that was all, to which he replied that he thought he had correctly stated the amount he had taken since the appearance of the new currency, but he could not recollect how much he had previously abstracted from the sale. In his pockets were found three keys, fact similes to those which fitted the safe, which he acknowledged had been made by his order.--It is supposed that by some means he got temporary possessio

l doubtful our capacity to redeem it. The total receipts into the treasury for the two quarters ending on the 30th of September, 1864. were $415,191,550, which sum, added to the balance of $308,282,722 that remained in the treasury on the 1st of April last, forms a total of $723,474,272. Of this total, not far from half, that is to say, $342,560,327, have been applied to the extinction of the public debt, while the total expenditures have been $272,378,505, leaving a balance in the treasurylf millions of dollars, than appears on the books of the Register, and that the total public debt on the 1st of last month may be fairly considered to have been $1,126,381,095. The increase of the public debt during the six months from the 1st April to the 1st October was $97,650,780, being rather more than $16,000,000 per month, and it will be apparent, on a perusal of the report, that this augmentation would have been avoided, and a positive reduction of the amount would have been effect

starve and rot in Southern prisons"? In answer to all such appeals I am allowed only to repeat: " I have not uselessly sacrificed the lives of the soldiers of the Union; their blood does not stain my garments" This is not criticism upon the acts of anybody, but only the enunciation of a fact, in explanation of which the responsibilities of my position will not allow me to say more. The campaign against Petersburg — Grants intention to Strike James river above Richmond. On the first of April last, two large armies lay face to face, opposed to each other, on the Rapid Ann. A small army of about eighteen thousand men, six thousand of whom were negroes, lay in and around Fortress Monroe. Twenty thousand men more were ordered from the Department of the South to join that little army. Looking over the whole field, it seemed to me to be the part of wisdom to move that army upon Bermuda Hundred, establishing there a base for operation as strong and as easily defended as Fortress Mon

The bill was thereafter engrossed. An amendment, introduced by Mr. Christian, of Augusta, providing for an amendment to the Constitution, was introduced; but afterwards withdrawn by the author.

e amount of treasury notes authorized to be issued by existing laws had been exhausted, authorized the issue of an additional $90,000,000; but it was shown that the treasury had not, by $50,000,000, issued the amount authorized. It was further shown that, owing to the derangement of the Treasury Note Bureau in consequence of the advance of the enemy in South Carolina, the bill, if passed, could not be executed, it being impossible that the Note Bureau could be got in operation before the 1st of April next. Senate bill to abolish the offices of post quartermasters, post commissaries, etc., with House amendment, was taken up.
