Tre “Scarrisk’ at Preesnure Lanpine, /—The Cincinnati Commercial publishes . passages of a letter from Gen. Grant, in reply toa letter informing bim of the nature ‘of the critidisms of his management of the ‘battle ef Pittsburg Landing. Gen, Grant . says: I will go on and do my duty to the very best . of my ability without praise, and do all I can . to bring the war to a speedy close. Lam not an aspirant for ane at the close of the war. There is one thing I feel well assused of—that is, 1 have confidence in every brave man in my command, Those who showedthe white feath. er will of course do all in their power to attract attention from themselves. I had perhaps a dozen officers arrested for cowardice on the first . day’s fight. These men are necessarily, my enemies, nothing that could be more false. my had sent up word where and when they would attack us, we could not have been better . prepared. Skirmishing had been going on for . two days between our reconnoitering parties land the enemy’s advance. Ido not believe, however, they intended to make a determined attack, but were simply making a reconnois. ance in force. My headquarters were at Sa}vannah, though { ucunily spent the day at . Psttsburg. Troops were constantly arriving to . dered to report to Savannah, making it neces. sary to keep an office and some one there. I . was also looking for Gen. Buell to arrive; and . it was important I should have every arrangement complete for his speedy transit to this . side of the river. Atrempt At SvicipgE.—A Missourian nam,ed Gilmer, who has until recently been at work over on the other side of the bay, drank very freely on election night because the . Citizens’ ticket was so badly beaten, and has heen on the spree ever since, Yesterday morning, about 6 o’clock, he went down to the end of one of the wharves, to drown himself, but not liking to take aceld bath so early, he took out his pocket knife, opened one blade, and, holding it in his right hand, jabbed it seve. raltimesin his left arm. Before his left arm had lost its strength, he jabbed the blade several times in his right, and then stuck it through his windpipe, and wriggled the blade about. Thinking that insufficient to kill him, he thought to com. . plete the business by plunging the blade three or four times into his left breast, but it wasn’t _ long enough to reach his heart. Officer . with officer Conway took him to the hospital— the blood bubbling out of his throat wound evwas about town this morning, nearly as welbas ever, and got 50 cents of Officer Conway to get breakfast with.—[ Bulletin, June 3d. Ropman’s Guns.—Capt. Rodman having . successfully casta 20-inch gun, and the test . showing it to be as safe and strong asa smaller cannon, is now at work ona pocket piece for the President, the ball of whichis to weigh 3000 pounds, to have a sange of six or seven miles, of two feet and a half diameter, while . the gun itself will weigh somewhere in the It is supposed if . neighborhood of 200 tons. the Warrior, or any other English ship, should be struck by one of the pills from this little jo. ker, it would be difficult for the future historian to tellthe precise spet where the English vessel was last seen or at paseny what ‘instant she disappeared from mortal view. Capt. Rodman is now finishing six 16-inch toys for the new Monitors, three or four 20-inch playthings, besides Old Abe’s pocket-piece, the 30-inch joker. The story that a guard is set nver this gun every night to keep it from being . oicked up and carried off by some thief is propounced a canard, New Renew Coins (Pproposep).—The rebel Congress had been amusing itself with the invention of a new series of coins. The Charleston Courier gives this account of it: sis of integral limit of value proposed for our currency is the star—which is to be diviced into 100 equa! parts, each part to be called a centime, namely: 10 centimes 1 trepic; 10 tropics 1 star; 10 stars 1 sol. These denominations for our currency have been selected for three reasons: namely: First, they are appropriate to ourselves asa people; sceond, they are emblems of cheerfulness, honor, honesty of purpose, solidity and stability; and third, the words are simple, easily remembered, and are common to several languages. JARNDYCE V8. JARNDYCE.—In the Twelfth District Court, at the last sitting of Judge Campbell, on Saturday last, ended the litigation in the case of Bowman vs. Meyerback and Thomes., . This case has occupied the courts for near five . years, the suit having been commenced in 1867. Thomes has departed this life, and the suit was hence between Bowman and Meyerback. Judgment final was rendered in favor of defendants, Ex-Judge Satterlee, counsel for plaintiff, and ex-Judge MeCuabe, for defendants. A hard fight betweeen two ex-Judges.—[S. F. Journal.

IN Amenica.—The Norfolk Day Book got off the fstlowing lamentation over the capture of New Orleans: The telegraph tells, this morning, the most deplorable tale ever heard in America, or, we believe io the whole world. Two contemptible little steamers bare eame up ‘o the great cily of New Orleans—inbabited by a population of 200,000 sons, defended by miles upon miles of columbiads and rifled cannon, possessing six floating batteries of immense power, and contniuing within ber bosom not less than 30,000 disciplined troops—and have commanded the authorities to haul down the Confederate flag. As we write there had been no intel_ligence of its being hauled down, but we . are prepared to expect the woret, Sailing . through miles of the heaviest artillery, it . does not appeat that so much as a single shot was fired ut these two little steamers. Ou the contrary, everything seems to bave been prepared beforehand for their quiet reception, The troops were immediptely withdrawn lest they wight feel disposed to demur, all the defenses on the lake were dismuntied, the guns were thrown down without being injured, the steamboats that could have gotten op steam iu an hour and . been off, were burned; and the defenders THe Most DerLoraRLK Tae KYER Herarp were drawn offto a distaut point, Never tSan Franciseo be assigned to brigades and divisions, all order. since the world began was there euch a transaction—so dark, so mysterious, so al. together unaccountable, . Ran Away.—When the news reached . Richmond that the rebels had been beaten at Yorktown, there was wonderful excitement. Even the rebel Congress passed a resolution to adjourn to Danville, On thle the Richmoud “Whig says sarcastically: For fear of accidents on the railroad the stampeded Congress left yesterday in a bumber of the strongest and newest canal . boats, These boats are drawn by mules of approved sweetness of temper. To protect the stampeders from the snakes and bullfrogs that abound along the line of the canal, General Winder has detailed a regiment of ladies to march in advance of the mules and clear the towpath of pirates. The regiment is armed with pépguns of the longest range, The ladies will accompany the stampeders to @ secluded cave in the mountains of Hepsidam and Jeave them there in charge of the children of the vicioage, until McClellan thinks proper to let them come forth. The ladies retarn to the defense of their country, Sap Accipuxt,.—The Sierra Democrat of May 3lst eaye: Au accident, attended by remarkable circumstances, occurred at Pir Gap, north of Monte Cristo, on the 22d just. Patrick . Hawke and John Williams were blasting in a tunnel, and a charge went off prematnrely—the old story of mining accidents, The powder and fragments of rock flew thick, and their faces were burued to crisp. Both deprived of sight, feet to gain the mouth of the tunnel, Out of that they found their way to theireabio; bot no person was living within two miles of them, and they finally started, blind and starving, at one o’cloek on Saturday morn. ing, to bind their way to Exeelsior, There, 5.
