From JftckWßTillo
We have conversed with several reliable
and intelligent gentlemen who have ,recently
run the gauntlet from that unfortunate place s
and arrived safely within our lines.
The number of the enemy’s forces in Jack
sonville, they represent to be about 8,600, a
large majority are negroes. The troops are
under the immediate command of Col. Bur
ney of the sixth U. S. colored troops, a native
of New York, and son of the notorious aboli
tionist by that name.
Generals Gilmore, Seymour and Hatch were
all on board of the steamer “Maple Leaf at
the time she exploded a torpedo in the St.
Johns, and barely escaped with their lives.
Since the explosion of tbe above steamer and
the “Hunter/’ they are not much inclined to
ascend the St. Johns.
There are a large (number of cases of 3mall
pox and other diseases in Jacksonville, and
their troops are likewise upon very short
rations.
From what we have been enabled to gather
we predict a soon and sudden embarkation of
the mongrel horde from Jacksonville.
The idea of an advance in the interior is at
present altogethei out of the question. Lake

A Characteristic Article from
the Herald—Grant’s Estimate
of the Virginia Campaign.
The New York Herald contains the follow
ing bluster, which is a sample of that being
generally resorted to by the Yankee papers on
the eve of the Virginia campaign:
We may not bear for several days to come,
but we may hear at any moment, that the
most tremendous ana decisive of all the bat
tles of the war has been commenced in that
awful graveyard of Union and rebel armies,
the blood-stained bills and plains of old Vir- j
ginia. From sources apparently well inform
ed, we learn that the army of Gen. Lee, with
in the last thirty d*ys, lias been swelled from
forty-five thousand to ninety thousand men,
and that they are nearly all veterans. What
the forces of Gen. Grant are in tbe aggregate
we cannot conjecture; but we are assured that
they are amply sufficient for the work before
them, and that their active and vigilant leader
is thoroughly prepared to receive tbe enemy
while perfecting his arrangements for a move
ment upon his works.
We are gratified to state that nothing ap
pears to be known of Gen. Grant’s plans and
combinations by any individual except him-
self. The rebel journals at Richmond, for the
first time during the war, are sorely puzzled
to comprehend the real designs, of the direct
ing mind of the Union armies.
The prestige of Gen. Lee and his veteran
army has become the last hope and the last
reliance of Jeff Davis and his followers. In
the present exhausted condition of the rebell
ious States, with all their able-bodied men in
the field, and with all their scanty materials
of subsistence subject to forced contributions,
the moral effect of the defeat of Lee will be a
speedy collapse of the rebellion. On the other
hand while a victory over General Grant, in
Virginia, may revive the slaking fortunes of
Davis, nothing else will save him beyond the
summer’s campaign. Hence we cannot doubt
that he has resolved to stake his Confederacy
upon the defense of Richmond, and that his
struggle to maintain it will be the mast desper
ates nd sanguinary of all the struggles of the
war.
We are entirely satisfied that this is the es
timate which Gen. Grant has made of this
Virginia campaign ; that he does not under
rate the enemy’s strength and their desperate
energy in collecting all their available forces,
and that he has made his dispositions for a
successful conflict with the largest army that
Davis can muster in Virginia without abso
lutely abandoning bis base of supplies in
Georgia. With an easy confidence, therefore,
in the final result of this Virginia campaign,
a confidence which could not entertain while
the army of the Potomac was subject to the
manipulations of the old blundering Wash
ington directory—with that unqualified and
unquestioning confidence which is felt by the
public at large in the success of Gen. Grant,
we await the issue of the grand impending
struggle.
Captured and Hung.— We learn from a source
altogether reliable, tnC tl3aac F - ilß £’, 2nd , Lieut,
of Captain Reynold’s compiT Florida Bat
talion, together with another ci*; Rrter { ™ m , Coff * e
county, Ga., who in conjunction with J* er
ers and Tories, have been committing depreaa*.
in this State, were captured near New Boston, on
the Suwannee river, and hung by a party of Con
federates a few days ago. The day of retribution
will soon dawn upon the horde of bad men who
have infested the southern portion of our State, j
and are engaged in wantonly destroying the life
and property yf the loyal citizsns of the country.

Important Order from Gen. Meade. —Tho
Washington Star, of Friday evening, has the fol
lowing important announeement, showing that
there is, and is to be,, trouble in the Army of the
Potomac with the expired enlistment men. It
is because of this that Buruside has gone to Grant,
instead ol undertaking bis independent expedi
tion up the Peninsula. The Star says :
As the time is approaching when a number of
the regiments belonging to the Army of the Poto- I
mac are to be discharged from the military ser- i
vice of the United States, by reason of the expira- j
tion of the term of service for which they were j
mustered into said service, Maj. Gen. Meade has
announced to such troops that the War Depart
ment has decided that the term of service of a
regiment is to be computed from the date of mus
ter into the servioe of the United States, without
reference to the date of enrolment or any service
rendered a State.
The Commanding General will, however, at all
times, be glad to receive and forward, for the con
sideration of the proper authorities, any respeetml
communication touching the term of service of a
regiment, when such term appears to be involved
in donbt.
The Commanding General, in making this an
nouncement, expresses the hope that regiments
which may be discharged will cheerfully acquiesce
in the decision of the Government in regard to
their term of service, and that no organized bodies
of individuals, alter having borne an unsullied
reputation during all the eventful scenes which
have marked their connection with the armv of
the Potomac, will suffer the honorable fame they
have won by their gallantry and good conduct to
be tarnished in the closing hours of their service
by acts of insubordination, which, if ventured
upon by any, will be promptly suppressed, and can
only terminate in the speedy and certain punish
ment of the offending parties.
j The Pillohv ix the Army. —Gen. Forrest is
i very strict with hiS command. A writer from
j Jackson, Tenm, says :
Absence without leave, missing roll calls, etc.,
entitles the culprit to a “position’' in the pillory.
This is facetiously called “going'before the board.” 1
The victims of the “board” are often saluted by
some distant rebel with such complimentary re
marks as “Halloa there, mister, didn't you know
that you couldn’t pass the board ?” “Boards arew
very strict now.” “Come outer that ticket office. I
I see your head sticking out at the window.” j

Tenth Georgia Regiment.
At a meeting held in the eatap ®f the 10th
Georgia Regiment, April 20th, 1824, near
Gordons vilie, Virginia, for the purpose of con
sidering and discussing the view* of the Ex
ecutive of Georgia, as expressed in his late
Message upon Confederate Relations, and the
action of the Georgia Legislature upon the
Stephens’ Resolutions, Lieutenant Colonel W.
C. Holt was called to the Chair, and Private J.
H. Spicer, Company “E,” requested to act as
Secretary.
Upon motion, the following named com
mittee were appointed to draft suitable reso
iffimnak _ , ,
Captain C. C. Xibbee, Company G.
“ Q. C. Cone, Company K.
Serg’t W. A. Spicer, Company F.
Pending the action of the committee, the
meeting was addressed by M. D. H. Burts, of
Chattahoochee county, Ga.
At the close of Mr. Burts’ address, the fol
lowing preamable and resolutions were sub
mitted by the committee, and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, We regard the message of Gov.
Brown, of Georgia, upon Confederate Rela
tions, and’ tho action of the State Legislature
upon the Stephens’ Resolutions as hurtful to
the cause in which we are engaged, tending,
as It does, to distract our councils at home
and destroy the spirit of our armies iu the
field, by giving that hope to our almost beaten
foe which they derive from our dissensions at
home ; and, whereas, we hold it not only our
highest right, but our solemn duty, to rebuke,
by on expression of opinion, those men at
home, whether in or out of authority, who
I are seekfng to array the State of Georgia
against the Confederate Governs
Therefore be it
? eß ?.rcu, Ist. That we look with deep con
cern aid sorrow upon the action of those men
st home whom wo have been wont to regard
with feelings of respect and esteem, in their
efforts to bring in oonflict the State of Georgia
with the Confederate Government; condemn
those resolutions, speeches and messages
which covertly contain designs which we re
gard as deadly to the life of the Confederacy.
Resolved, 2d. That whilst we who are bear
ing the brunt of the struggle by oheerfully un
dergoing the dangers and hardships in the
field, bear constantly in mind that it is a bat
tle for State rights, “life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness,” yet we see no cause for
the hue and cry, raised by the alarmists at
home against the acts of Congress and the
administration, and are not haunted by fears
of the “master at home,” but see, in the ser
ried ranks of the enemy, and the gigantic es-,
forts made to crush and snbdue us, reasonable
fears of a master from the north ; and we,
therefore, heartily approve and endorse every
act of Congress and the Administration, which
tends, either by appreciating the currency, or
by putting every available man in the field, to
bring this struggle to a speedy and successful
termination.
Resolved, 3d, That we do not regaid the
manner and mode of soliciting peace pointed
out by the Stephens Resolutions, and endors
ed by the Executive of Georgia, as compatible
with the dignity of the government, or as
likely to accomplish the end it proposes.
The government and people of the North
know as well as we do, upon what issue we
made the fight, and they never have been al
lowed to forget our demands, or to believe we
have changed our determination, and the only
hope of peace we can enteftairl is that which,
thundered in their ears by the roar of our
artillery, and offered them at the point of the
bayonet, forces them to the necessiiy of acce
ding to our demands, and making such over
tures themselves as meet the requirements of
a people determined to be free.
Resolved, 4th. That we look with deep con
cern upon that portion of the Stephens Reso
lutions which intimate separate State action,
in treating with the enemy, and we desire to

Copperheadism Incurable.— The Selinagrove
(Pa.) Times gives utterance to the following re
freshing sentiment:
We would see Old Abe hung by order of Jeff
Davis before we would urge any man to volunteer
in a war like this.
To which the Starke County (Ohio) Democrat
responds thus:
The above plan and truthful talk we commend
to our friends, especially those who have been in
duced to aid, by their money and otherwise the
bounty and schemes of the abolition leaders. ’
Who will say, after this, that Copperheadism
can be cured.
Aaron’s Calf.— I ‘'William, look up. Tell me
who made you ?” 1
‘ William who was considered a fool, screwing up
his face and looking thoughtful,and somewhat be
wildered, slowly answered, “Moses, I s’pose.'’
“That will do. Now,” said Counsellor Gray
addressing the court, “the witness says he ‘s’poses’
Moses made him. This certainly is an intelligent
answer—more than I considered him capable of
giving, for it shows that he has some faint idea of
scripture; butl submit it is Dot sufficient to jus- l
tify his being sworn as a witness to give evidence
“Mr. Judge,” said the fool, “may I ax the law
yer a question ?” “Certainly,” said the Judge, “as
•many as you please.” “Wal, then, Mr. Lawyer,
who do you think made you?” Counsellor Gray
(imitating the witness) “Aaron, I s’pose.” After
P 1 bad Bubs ided, the witness exclaimed,

Aaron once made a calf, but who’d have thought

Richmond, May B. —The following was received
this morning:
Headquarters Armt or Northern Ya., [
May Bth 1564. )
To the Secretary of War :
Gen. Gordon turned the enemy’s extreme right
yesterday evening and drove him from his rifte
pits. Among the prisoners eaptured were Gens.
Seymour and Shaller. A number of arms also
taken. The enemy has abandoned the Germania
ford road and removed bis pontoon bridge towards
Ely’s. There has been no attack only slight skir
mishing on our lines. R. E. LEE.
Official dispatches from Chaffin’s Bluff state thil
one of tho enemy’s gunboats was attacked, disa
bled, boarded and burned, on tho 7th. Two iron
clads bore down on our forces when thoy returned-
No particulars given. No loss on our side.
Wilmington, May 9.—Commodore Cook, with
Ironclad Albemarle, engaged nine of the enemy's
gunboats in AlbermarlC Sound on the 6tb, sunk
one and disabled two. Tbe fight lasted from 4 p.
m., till night.
Dalton, May 9.—Hooker's Corps attempted on
yesterday to curry Dug by storm. It was de
fended by Kentucky cavalry and the
Ist infantry, who repulsed three faults
“dieting heavy loss on the enetny. Our ammu
nition becoming exhausted the men resisted the
last assault by pelting the enemy with stones, un
til the arrival of Grandburg’s Texas brigade, when
the enemy were foUted and hastily withdrew. Our
loss is very small. Ono Lieutenant and twenty
men were captured. A slight skirmish has been
going on in front up to dark. The enemy having
massed a heavy force in front of Rocky Face, fiv«
lines of battle being visible, it was thought they
would attempt to carry it by storm this morning,
but as yet no demonstration has been made.

Dan Sickles on the War—thh R*ns have
no Property. —Dan Sickles, who fs noted in
verse as having “killed a man,” made a speech
in Detroit the other day on the war. It will
be seen that Dan’s ideas of the right of prop
erty are of the loosest character ;
But someone says th* war is unconstitu
tional; that it ia unconstitutional to keep the
country together. But, as it was unconstitu
tional to form the Union, why should it be
unconstitutional to maintain it ? Why, the
Union was born in force, and it is absurd to
say it cannot be maintained by force. But
someone says that it is impossible that a peo
ple fighting on their own soil should be con
quered. I deny that it is their soil any more
thau it is mine or yours. They have forfeited
by their conduct all right and title to it. But
look at Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Wes
tern Virginia, etc. These are my answers to
people who speak of impossibilities. From
the beginning, our course has been steadily
onward, and so it will go on. We must and
shall succeed. Nor is the day of our triumph
far distant. I believe the issues will culmi
nate in this campaign. I believe if the Pres
idential election were three years off, there
would be no rebels in the field to-day. They
are hoping for a change of Administration,
but it is a vain hope.
Our cost has been too great. Compromise
is no longer possible. Had the South re
mained in the Union I would have gone as far
a3 any man for a compromise. Now lam
against any and every compromise. lam for
the unconditional, absolute surrender of the
South to the Union. I trust if I ever meet
you again, fellow-citizens, it will be when
peace shall smile once more upon us, when
you of the West and us of the North, as ever
one people, shall go on, realizing that career
of power, of honor, of beneficence, which has
so signalized us hitherto. I hope we shall bo
the citizens of a republic forever, absolutely
and totally free.

“Macaria.”—This title of the excellent
novel of Miss Evans is puzzling some people.
It is a Greek name and of mythological origin.
Lempriere’s Classical Dictionary thus refers
to it:
“Macaria, a daughter of Hercules and Da
janira. After the death of Hercules, Eurys
theua made war against the Heraclida: whom
the Athenians supported, and the oracle de
clared that the descendants of Hercules should
obtain the victory if one of them devoted him
self to death. This was cheerfully accepted
by Macaria, who refused to endanger the lifa
of the children of Hercules by suffering tha
victim to be drawn by lot, and the Athenians
obtained a victory. Great lionor3 were paid
to the patriotic Macaria, and a fountain of
Marathon was called bv her uame.”
