The above reward of $50 will be paid for his delivery to me, or if secured in any jail so I get him again. R. A. Patterson, Henrico co, May 23, 1864, my 24--6t

is gentleman, who has for so many years been connected with the British Consulate in this city, and whose official intercourse here was always so circumspect and courteous, was named by Earl Russell, in the House of Lords, on the 5th of April, as one of those Consuls whose conduct had been obnoxious to the Confederate Government, and Earl R, mentioned as one of the offences that he or others had committed, the advising of British subjects "not to resist their enlistment in the Confederate army, but to desert their colors in the moment of action." The tenor of this speech of Earl Russell was published in our paper of the 4th inst. No one who knows Mr. C. could suppose him guilty of such a piece of folly as this. We are satisfied that he never gave such advice. Mr. Benjamin, in his letter to Mr. Fullerton, dated October 8th, 1863, mentions the names of those who gave the advice to desert, and Mr. Cridland's is not among them. We are assured that he is entirely clear of the offence.

yer and thanksgiving; members of Congress rose from their scats and cheered vociferously; the population of all the large cities were made with joy; Governor Seymour fired one hundred guns, and the whole Yankee race kicked up a fuss almost as prodigious as that which the New Yorkers raised over Tommy and the Japanese. We have had the curiosity to examine into the grounds of all this rejoicing, and the result is as follows: On the 4th May, Grant crossed the river with 140,000 men. On the 5th and 6th he attacked Gen. Lee's lines near Verdiersville, and was on both occasions repulsed with enormous slaughter. Finding he could gain nothing by an attack in front, he inclined to the right, in order to flank Gen. Lee; and the lines running northwest and southeast, this movement by his right of course brought him nearer to Richmond. Gen. Lee moved on the parallel line to intercept him, and succeeded completely. On Saturday, the 7th, Sunday, the 8th, and Monday, the 9th. Grant made re

Grant made repeated and furious assaults upon Lee's lines, and was every time repulsed with prodigious slaughter, without having made the slightest impression upon them. At each repulse he continued to incline to the left, hoping to steal off from Lee and get possession of the railroad before that General became aware of his design.--Up to the night of Monday, 9th, the Washington Chronicle, Lincoln's organ, stated that his loss in killed, wounded, and

is the avenue, if Johnston has chosen to avail himself of it, through which to make a flank movement in rear of the Snake Creek Gap and shut off the enemy's retreat. Johnston has but to swing his right around, push it through Dug Gap, and the deed is done. The enemy are apparently bottled up for preservation, unless he succeeds in driving Johnston's left, getting possession of Resaca and the railroad, and opening a free passage generally. Such is said to have been the situation on the 11th, and it is pretty clear that Sherman has pursued a policy which must eventuate in a great Federal success or a terrible failure. [from the Augusta Constitutionalist, May 18th.] By the flanking movements of Sherman the two hostile armies in our front are gradually shifting into a new situation. By private dispatches we were yesterday morning informed of the change of the telegraph office from Resaca to Calhoun. Our own correspondent writes from Calhoun, under date of Sunday, that "a

n. Up to the same time, the army correspondent of the New York Herald estimated his losses at 27,000 killed, wounded, and prisoners, besides a prodigious number of stragglers. When it is considered that he was, in all his operations, attacking fortifications, and that he did it in heavy columns, there cannot be a doubt that both these estimates are very far short of the truth. On Tuesday, 10th, another battle of the same description was fought.--Wednesday was a quiet day. Thursday, the 12th, at 4 o'clock in the morning, an overwhelming force attacked Gen. Edward Johnson's division, which seems to have occupied an advanced work, detached from the other works, and out of supporting distance. They captured the works and took about 1,500 prisoners, which, Yankee like, they magnified into four thousand. They took, also, 18 or 20 pieces of cannon. Our troops charged them and retook the cannon, but were unable to bring them off. The Yankees carried them away afterwards in the night.

tired, leaving the ground covered with an enormous mass of Yankees — dead, dying, or desperately wounded. The correspondent of the New York Herald estimates Grant's loss on this occasion at from 18,000 to 25,000 men. Gen. Lee, who always underestimates the enemy's loss, thinks, so we understand, that it was at least 20,000. It must be obvious to any man who will reflect upon the circumstances that it was greatly above either of these. The Yankee papers themselves say that up to Friday, the 13th, he had already lost at least 75,000 men — that is to say, more than half his original army. Our own impression is, that he has not lost one man under 90,000. All the prisoners taken on Thursday were drunk, some of them so much so that they could not reload their guns after they had fired them. Grant made the poor wretches drunk, and then goaded them on to destruction. Our fire was so terrible that some of them who had approached nearest our breastworks threw down their arms, climbed over

al prisoners of war and all civilians on parole prior to May 7, 1864, the date of the order, exchanged." He says the Confederates are still indebted to them 33,596, for which no equivalents have been received by the Federal Government. On the 14th, 1,000, and on the 15th, 800 wounded were received in Baltimore. Andrew Smithson was arrested in Baltimore on the 14th, charged with denouncing the Federal Government, and swearing that Gen. Lee had whipped the Yankees and would do so again. 14th, charged with denouncing the Federal Government, and swearing that Gen. Lee had whipped the Yankees and would do so again. Lord Lyons denies having had any correspondence with the Confederate Government. The New York Times's Washington correspondent of the 15th, says: Over 12,000 of our wounded have been brought up from the battle field and distributed among the hospitals in this city and Alexandria. A large number still remain at Belle Plain and Fredericksburg, awaiting removal. Thousands still lie on the battle field. A dispatch in the Herald, dated Washington, May 15, says the railroad fr

s 5. The bill passed — ayes 78, noes 3. Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, moved a reconsideration, with a view to amending the bill, so as to provide for the payment of the bounty to soldiers in Treasury notes instead of hundred dollar bonds. The motion was laid upon the table. Mr. Hilton offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Ways and Means to report a bill to provide by taxation for the increased pay of soldiers. Agreed to. Mr. Lyon, of Alabama, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported bills to amend the tax laws. Ordered to be printed, and made the special order for Wednesday. Mr. Colyer, of Tenn., submitted a minority report, which was also ordered to be printed. Mr. Miles, of S. C., introduced a resolution of thanks to the cadets of the Virginia Military Institute, and their officers, for gallant conduct in the battle of the 15th inst., near New market, in the Valley of the Shenandoah. Passed unanimously. The House then adjourned.
