What Grant has done. When the telegram announcing the battle at Spotsylvania Court-House was received in Yankeedom, Lincoln called on the whole population to join in prayer 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 n

ces. Yet they pretend that our losses are greater than their own, and that we cannot procure any reinforcements. Louisville, May 14.--The following dispatch was received here at midnight: Frankfort, May 13. --To the Editors of the Louisville Journal: Kentuckians, to the rescue! I want ten thousand six months troops at once!--Do not hesitate! Come, I will lead you! Let us help to finish this war and save our Government! Thomas E. Bramlette, Governor of Kentucky. G. D. Townsend, A. A. G. of the United States declares "all Federal 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 tha

Police Arrests. --Officer Bibb yesterday morning arrested John Tobin, who was sitting drunk in a store door, and John Allport, who was lying drunk in the street.--The inebriates were locked up in the station-house until sober, and then discharged. Sam, a slave, was arrested yesterday evening for using insolent language to Richard Turner. He was taken before Alderman Chandler, who ordered him thirty lashes.

a large crowd collected, and while C. was alighting he drew from his pocket a revolver and inquired for the officer who arrested him; whereupon Moore, who was standing by, seized on to the weapon and wrenched it from his hand, when it exploded, without doing any injury. For the defence, it was stated that the accused was a special messenger for the Government, and having just returned from a long and fatiguing journey he took three or four drinks to revive his exhausted condition. A negro fellow named Sam, slave of Milton Lackey, was ordered to be whipped, on the charge of being out of track after hours and a suspicious character. Officer Cousins found Sam on the street at two o'clock yesterday morning. He was without a pass, and carried in his hand a coil of rope, in one end of which was a noose, one bag, and a stone weighing about two pounds, about which he could give no account. N. G. Turnley was fined $20 for permitting his servant woman, Elizabeth, to go at large.

in favor of peace by negotiation. Mr. McMallen, of Va., moved that they be laid upon the table, but withdrew it. The motion was renewed by Mr. Heiskell, of Yerci, and carried — ayes 47, noes 26. The Speaker laid before the House a communication from C. F. Collier, of Petersburg, announcing his withdrawal from the contest for a seat from the 4th Congressional district of Virginia. Read and laid on the table. Various bills and resolutions were introduced and referred. Mr. Wilberforce, of S. C., offered a joint resolution of thanks to the 21st, 25th, and 27th regiments of South Carolina volunteers. Referred. Mr. Atkins, of Tenn., offered a resolution instructing the Military Committee to report a bill so amending the act to organize forces to serve during the war as to repeal that portion which exempts the owner of a farm employing fifteen able bodied working hands. A motion to refer the resolution prevailed — ayes 48, nays 23. Mr. Leach's "peace" resol

From Northern Virginia. Hanover Junction, May 22. --Grant commenced swinging his columns around on our right on Friday. Yesterday morning Grant's force occupied Milford Station and Bowling Green. Yesterday evening, about dark, Gen. Wilcox, in front of Spotsylvania Court House, threw forward a portion of his forces, entered the enemy's breastworks, and found them held by a line of skirmishers, Grant's whole army being rapidly in motion on our right flank. This necessitated counter movements on our side and the abandonment of the battle ground in front of Spotsylvania Court House. Grant seems to be manœuvering for a position nearer Richmond. The enemy are reported to have cut loose from Fredericksburg as a base, and to have established depots at Port Royal and Tappahannock. There was some little artillery firing near Chesterfield to-day, but the cause is unexplained. [Second Dispatch.] Hanover Junction, May 23. --The latest information represe

om 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 from Alexandria to Rappahannock Station remains undisturbed by guerillas, and is in perfect order. Trains, however, run out no further than Union Mills at present. Stanton says Sigel was last heard from at Wood stock; and says the rumor that he had broken the railroads between Lynchburg and Charlottesville is not true. [By this time they have found out it was Sigel and his Dutch that have been broken.] The Cincinnati Times says prominent among the combinations for the reduction of Richmond is the movement of Gen. Crooks from the Kanawha Valley, with a considerable force. Gen. Robinson had his thigh badly fractured, and it was thought would have to be amputated so high up as to endange

d our line of advance lay through a tangled undergrowth. This reconnaissance, for such it was, revealed the fact that the enemy's whole army was certainly in motion. Gen. Lee had supposed as much earlier in the day, and during the morning Ewell's corps left the front, moving in the direction of Chesterfield Station. So soon as this reconnaissance was made, everything started rearwards — a general skedaddling among ambulances and wagons. Just after dark the whole army "was in motion." Wright's Ga. brigade occupied the post of honor, as rear guard. All that bight the teams were moving rearwards. The troops, however, had a short respite of rest, but were again on the march before daybreak. All day to-day the troops have been pushing rapidly forward through the heat and dust with a will and spirit that speak their own commendation. So exhausted and tired have the men become that whenever the halt for rest was called, which is done once in every hour, for ten minutes, on a
