urderous Cold Harbor; but also of the brilliant fights at Sailor's Creek and Farmville, and all the splendid action to the victorious end. Here is the seasoned remnant of the Corcoran Legion, the new brigade which, rushing into the terrors of Spottsylvania, halted a moment while its priest stood before the brave, bent heads and called down benediction. Webb's Brigade of the Wilderness is commanded to-day by Olmstead; the second, by Mclvorveteran colonels from New York; the third by Colonel Woodall of Delaware. This brigade knows the meaning of that colorless phrase, the casualties of the service, showing the ever shifting elements which enter into what we call identity. Here are all that is left of French's old division at Antietam, and Hays' at Gettysburg, who was killed in the Wilderness, Carroll's Brigade at Spottsylvania, where he was severely wounded; Smyth's at Cold Harbor, killed at Farmville. Into this brigade Owen's, too, is now merged. They are a museum of history.

ace or at Augusta. The admirable judgment and sagacity displayed by General Croxton throughout his march of over six hundred and fifty miles in thirty days, as well as the good conduct and endurance of his command, are worthy of the highest commendation. For the details of his operations I respectfully refer to his report herewith. On the thirtieth of April I received notice of the final capitulation of the rebel forces east of the Chattahoochee, and the next day, by the hands of Colonel Woodall, the order of the Secretary of War annulling the first armistice, directing the resumption of hostilities and the capture of the rebel chiefs. I had been previously advised of Davis' movements, and had given the necessary instructions to secure a clue to the route he intended following, with the hope of finally effecting his capture. I directed General Upton to proceed in person to Augusta, and ordered General Winslow, with the Fourth division, to march to Atlanta for the purpose of

Prisoners of war. --We understand that the flag of truce steamer, with 240 released prisoners, under charge of detective officers Woodall and Clackner, will leave Richmond for Newport News on Friday morning. The Yankee Government having initiated this system of exchange, has doubtless come to regard the cause of the South as something more than that of a "people in rebellion." A few more "thrashings" will humble the crest of the American buzzard sufficiently, without any outside interference. Two Federal soldiers, belonging to the 23d Pennsylvania regiment, were brought to this city yesterday morning. We learn that they were captured in the neighborhood of Leesburg.

Contradicted. --We stated a few days since that the arrest of George Elam, charged with counterfeiting Treasury notes, was caused by Detectives Cashmeyer and Woodall, of Gen. Winder's force, but were informed yesterday that the party was put in jail in Petersburg, at the suggestion of J. W. Goodrich and Henry Meyers, acting by authority of the Secretary of the Treasury. The last named officers, at the time, were in Norfolk hunting up evidence against the other parties implicated with Elam, when they learned of his whereabouts at Petersburg, and at once took measures which were successful in procuring his arrest.
