loss was not over 300 in killed wounded, and missing. There is nothing later from Gen. Butler. A telegram dated Fortress Monitor, 12th, says: Gen. Sheridan arrived at the James river yesterday afternoon. He had heavy fights, in which he was very successful. He got inside of the rebel works around Richmond and could have taken the city, but was ignorant of Gen. Butler's position. Our men could see the gas lights in Richmond. They took three hundred prisoners. Capt Howe, A. A. G., of rebel Gen. Ruggles's staff, and seventeen officers and three hundred rebel prisoners, have arrived from Belle Plain in charge of Capt Hond, of the 18th veteran corps, en route in Fort Delaware. Among them are Major Gen. Edward Johnson, Brig Gen. Geo. H. Stuart; Col. Pebbles, of Georgia; Col. Davidson, of New Orleans; Colonel Hardeman, of Georgia; Colonel Harrell, of North Carolina; Colonel Fitzgerald, of Virginia; Colonel Parsley, of North Carolina; Colonel Davant, of Georgi

rce of fifteen hundred rebel cavalry had gone towards the Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad, to burn the bridge over the Susquehanna river. At last accounts the bridge was not burnt. It was reported that the rebels had struck the Baltimore and Washington Railroad at Laurel Factory, but the Chronicle says it was not believed, because telegraphic communication was still kept up with Baltimore. The firing heard at Harper's Ferry on the 10th was unexplained. The Chronicle supposes Gen. Howe was getting in the rear of the Confederates. The rebels burnt many buildings, public and private, in Hagerstown. A special dispatch to the Chronicle, from Baltimore, says the opinion was prevalent there that the real movement is against Washington. The rebels were at Rockville, Maryland, sixteen miles, northwest of Washington, on Sunday evening. Dispatches from newspaper correspondents at Grant's headquarters, on the 9th, say the invasion of Maryland is believed to be in

s pretty well established. Once in Savannah or Charleston, however, he will find himself as effectually besieged there as Howe was in Philadelphia when Dr. Franklin wrote, that instead of Howe taking Philadelphia, Philadelphia had taken Howe. A ConHowe taking Philadelphia, Philadelphia had taken Howe. A Confederate army, lying before whichever of these cities he may select, will effectually bar his entrance into the country and render his army — save in the article of employing so large a force to blockade it — as useless as though it did not exist. THowe. A Confederate army, lying before whichever of these cities he may select, will effectually bar his entrance into the country and render his army — save in the article of employing so large a force to blockade it — as useless as though it did not exist. To take position in Charleston or Savannah is to place himself in precisely the same position with Howe and Clinton in New York. They had the city, with good quarters and a powerful fleet. Washington lay above them, watching them carefully, cutting Howe and Clinton in New York. They had the city, with good quarters and a powerful fleet. Washington lay above them, watching them carefully, cutting off their parties whenever they ventured out; or, when they come out in full force, taking up such strong ground and offering battle on such terms that they did not dare, in a single instance, to accept it. If it be the intention of Sherman to take

st summer, he would have annihilated Grant's army, as he came very near doing even with that impediment to his operations. We have not the most distant belief that Grant can, or will, take Richmond; he to do so, Richmond is not Confederacy, nor is it even Virginia. It is simple Richmond, and nothing more. Its fall would place Lee's army at liberty to manœuvre where he chose it. He would simply sit down before it and watch Grant. It would be but a repetition of the relative situations of Howe and Washington when the former took Philadelphia, or, rather, when. Philadelphia took the former.--And so it would be with regard to Savannah and Wilmington. Let our people, therefore — or, rather, the weak-kneed among them — cheer up and look on the bright side. We have been in worse scrapes than this. We were so last summer, and we probably shall be again. Remember the words of Edmund Burke, quoted by us the other day. No nation was ever conquered but by itself. As long as the pub

onium, gave "Rally Round the Flag," and a new song, of which the lugubrious chorus, "No, no, Jeff., it's all up in Dixie," excited much applause and laughter. Colonel Howe, with a few pleasant words, introduced "our bully minister," the Rev. Mr. Brown chaplain of the Association, whose often humorous and earnest address was much relished, and his closing words, "God bless you, soldiers, whenever and wherever you go, " heartily responded to by the visitors. Colonel Howe then introduced Richard D. Dudley, one of the crew of the Hartford, both of whose arms had been shot off by the same shell at Mobile. His appearance elicited much sympathy, and three s buying up greenbacks by means of an agent, and would soon be running the blockade and escaping to Europe. Mr. Bailey concluded by proposing three cheers for Colonel Howe, which were given with a will. After the singing of the "Star-Spangled Banner," the audience joining, General Hiram Walbridge was introduced. He adverted to

Negro schools in Richmond. --The Rev. Mr. Clayton, on last Sunday, delivered a discourse upon freedmen in a Universalist Church in New York city. The Tribune says of it: "He described the different schools in Richmond, Norfolk, Hampton, Alexandria and Washington, and read the reports of their principals, with such remarks as were appended by the superintendent, which showed them to be in a most satisfactory condition, under the direction of Miss White and Miss Howe. "One in particular, held in the Old African Church of Richmond, had seven hundred day scholars; an evening school was attached for the older and more advanced scholars; a sort of high school, under the direction of Miss Hancock, for preparation of colored teachers. Miss Hancock has two assistant (colored), aged twelve and fifteen respectively. The school was entirely self-sustaining, the teaching being gratuitous. "General Howard had promised that no distinction should be made in regard to the pecu

At Burlington, Wisconsin, on Sunday before last, whilst the elder members of a family named Cook were at church, some one entered their house and murdered three children and ransacked the house, only getting four dollars. Decline in Prices.--Though the prices of most of the necessaries of life are still high, it is certain that they have considerably declined within the last year. Rev. Dr. Howe, the new Episcopal Bishop of Nebraska, has declined the appointment.
