issance. Roger A. Pryor has been sent to Fort Lafayette. A Washington telegram says: "Roger A. Pryor arrived here this morning, and leaves to night for Fort 1st layette.

but on the return of the Whigs to power in 1846, he was appointed Commissioner of Woods and Forests, and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Soon after, he visited the United States, traveling extensively in different portions of the country, and taking the deepest interest in the character and institutions of the American people. He made many friends in almost every circle of society, winning universal regard by the amenity of his manners, his liberal and comprehensive views, and his sound and cultivated understanding.

reek, West Virginia, to be surprised by rebel raiders some time ago, and its garrison captured. New York and Pennsylvania both have commissioners at Washington to protest against their heavy share of the draft. A novel scene was witnessed in the Supreme Court-room at Washington, Wednesday: J. S. Rock, a negro lawyer, of Massachusetts, being admitted, on the motion of Hon. Charles Sumner, as a practitioner.

The London correspondent (February 11) of the New York Tribune says that no sick oysters could have opened more quietly than Parliament on its seventh and last session. Whether the consciousness of its impending dissolution affected its spirits, whether the members were under the influence of the weather, or whether they are reserving themselves for more appropriate opportunities, quien sabe? Pope's Goddess of Dullness was prevalent. Of all the barren Queen's speeches that ever were delivered — and that is saying a good deal --the last is probably the barrenest. We are interested in it (says the correspondent) only so far as it quietly scatters to the winds all the foolish rumors of "recognition"by the utterance of the cold word "neutrality "--which might be stereotyped for future use until there shall be no further occasion. We cannot understand how a speech can be considered "barren," in the United States, which contains that consoling assurance. The correspondent tr
efence, if not for attack. From all the outer garrisons and troop depots the rebel army at the capital is being augmented. Silently but surely the storm is gathering. Let us not be too sanguine of success. It may be that the rebel General will make it a Waterloo for us, while upon him, through the smoke of that day's battle, will shine the sun of a second day's Austerlitz. Lee will not throw away a single chance. He is not the man of Lost Opportunities.--Had Lee had command of our armies at the outset of war, we verily believe the rebellion would have been crushed in less than eight months. But we had only such second-rate Undertaker as Burnside and Hooker, Butler and Pope. Let us trust that our Lieutenant-General may be thoroughly prepared for the conflict; that when the conflict comes, our immense plurality of men may not be driven to their deaths in vain attempts to accomplish an impossible purpose, and that for once our leaders may be equal to their Herculean task.
gain, a scout returned from the southern portion of Jackson county recently and reported that while absent the men had killed thirteen guerrillas. Again, three bushwhackers attempted to rob a house in Montgomery county, and were pursued and killed. The troops occupying Pilot Knob, Salem, Houston, Springfield and other points, are constantly reporting the death of one, two, three or more rebels every day in their vicinity, and thus the work of extermination is going on all the time. General Pope is absent on a visit to Milwaukee, and General Dodge has returned from Leavenworth. It is understood that Major-General Pleasanton will be assigned to command in the State of Kansas as soon as he returns from Philadelphia, where he has been lying on a sick bed for several days. The judiciousness of this appointment may be questioned. General Pleasanton was championed by the anti Lane party in Kansas during the last election, and this fact compelled the Lane party to pitch into him — co
