ent position, and a citizen who came over yesterday evening says that he is certainly shifting the guns at Battery No. 5; but whether they are being removed or replaced with others of different calibre could not be ascertained. There was a heavy explosion heard yesterday afternoon on the Chesterfield Peninsula, and a heavy smoke was seen shortly after in a straight line east from Dunlop's, on the Petersburg road. It was supposed some of Butler's powder magazines had "gone off" unexpectedly. From the Trans-Mississippi it is stated that General Buckner is to take the place of General Dick Taylor, in East Louisiana. General Taylor left that army, in consequence of a disagreement with Lieutenant-General E. Kirby Smith, after the defeat of Banks. He demanded to be relieved by General Smith, and his demand was complied with. General Smith was in Houston, Texas, on the 1st instant. In Texas, Governor Murrah is busy organizing the reserve troops, providing arms, ammunition, &c.

ood. The old Scottish pint held as much as two English quarts. This explains much that we have heard about "bees in the Bonnet." The London bakers get fourteen cents for an ordinary loaf of bread. The young quondam Jew, Mortars, whose abduction from his family at Bologna, and subsequent education as a Roman Catholic, have furnished such matter for discussion and remonstrance, has addressed an Italian ode to the Pope, on the occasion of a religious commemoration. On the 5th ultimo a Shetland pony, Black Prince, died at Moresby House, in Cumberland, at the extraordinary age of forty-two years. Lord Overstone's fortune, says the Spectator, is estimated at £5,000,000. At a wedding in Paris last week, Mdlle. Pereire, the bride, wore a lace veil worth £4,000.

n, supposing, however, that it was probably Staunton. He exhorts her to bear up under the trial, hoping to meet his family soon again on earth — at all events, in a better world. This is about all the information his friends have concerning him till the time of his end. The few facts known concerning his murder we now proceed to relate: The army of General Hunter left Staunton on Friday, June the 10th, proceeding up the Valley towards Lexington by various roads. On Sunday evening, the 12th, General Averill encamped on Hay's creek, about two miles below Brownsburg.--The spot selected was the home of our childhood — the farm owned by our father, and ever since his death by his son-in-law and successor as pastor of New Providence church, the Reverend James Morrison. The tent of General Averill was pitched in his yard. About dark a rather elderly- looking person knocked at the door, announcing himself as the Reverend Mr. Osborn, from Uniontown, Pennsylvania, a chaplain of the Fed

conclusions could not be had then, and at those places, we are just as well off now to let disease work its telling effects on the army of Northern men, hemmed in, as they are, on the flat land and swamps of the Appomattox and the James. It is better that our enemies should be nursed first, and then die, than that we should have to hazard our men's lives and use our ammunition in the killing of them. We should not be surprised, however, to see the grand army that crossed the Rapidan in May to take Richmond and wind up the Confederacy, depart, bag and baggage, in a very few days. All its plans have failed. Its own presses confess that it has nothing to do and nothing to hope for where it is; but must sit down in inglorious idleness. A position so ridiculous, and one, indeed, so uncomfortable and unhealthy--one in which they must lose thousands by disease — could not be persistently held but in madness. Should they do so, however, they can do us no harm; while our large force

The Objectionable paragraph. --The following is probably the paragraph which has provoked, the sentence of banishment of Mr. Cropsey, the Inquirer army correspondent. It occurs in a letter from the correspondent in question, dated Mongohick, May 27th: "Let me break the thread of narrative and say a word of Meade's position. He is as much the commander of the Army of the Potomac as he ever was. Grant plans and exercises a supervisory control over the army, but to Meade belongs everything of detail. He is entitled to great credit for the magnificent movements of the army since we left Brandy, for they have been directed by him. In battle he puts troops in action and controls their movements; in a word, he commands the army. General Grant is here only because he deems the present campaign the vital one of the war, and wishes to decide on the spot all questions that would be referred to him as general-in-chief. "History will record, but newspapers cannot, that on one e
