URKKX CLAT ^MJTII?HIS CONFIRMATION PRORLKMATI- j CAl.?PROPOSED ADDRESS OF SOUTHERN REPRESENTATIVES KLK?T,KT<\, ETC. Washington, July 5, lb66. The friends of the new ttritf hill arc 1* coming alarmed, not only for the fate of iIn*, monstrous scheme, which has created ' Mich indignation among consumers through- ' out the country, hut also for their own destiny, which lias hern made somewhat precarious by their attempt to raid indis criminately upon the |>ockets of the peo ple. The western men are almost all liound to vote against it, and its rejection now seems very probable. Upon a closer analyz ing of the bill than could be made when it vas tirst presented, innumerable extortions l?ave Wen discovered, and they are such that will consign to political oblivion any M prcv ntativc out of New England who has the temerity to vote for it. Without hiy authority for its circulation, the state, ment has gone forth, that should the bill pa>s the President will veto it; and that \ iew of the matter receives quite general credit. The tight on the scheme is the bc. ginning of more defection in the Kcpubli. can ranks. If Kadical predictions may Ik? regarded as good criterion*, there is ample reason to believe that shortly after Congress ad. jourus great and momentous executive actions will be presented to the country. Whether these will make true the long standing assertion of chaugcs in the Cabi net, or refer more particularly to matters in the separate States, where some influ ence may be exercised in the fall elections, ? course must l?o shown by future deve lopment". It is certain that several promi nent uieintar* of the Kadical faction have asserted positively within the past week that there will be one or two Cabinet changes Wfore many days. It is to be hoped that their remarks on that score may not go unverified. The confirmation of lfon. Green Clav Smith, of Kentucky, as Governor of the Territory of Moutana, is regarded as pro- j Meuiatieal, notwithstanding the hard light which is being made in his favor. It will be recollected that in about an hour's du ration from the time Mr. Smith's nomina tion was sent by the President to the Senate, that gentleman voted in favor of the constitutional amendment now before the State Legislatures for ratification. I understand that the Committee on Terri- j tories, upon reporting upon the nontiiiu- ! lion, made no suggestions, which will leave | each Senator to vote entirely independent of committee recommendation*. It has been pro|>osed that the southern j representatives elect unite in the adoption j of an address to their constituents, urging j n^.-.i them to send delegates to the Na- j tional Convention of next month. The plan finds favor with many of the Demo cratic members of the present Congress. I hear that the address w ill be promulgated I Upon the arrival hereof Judge Sharkey, I ol Mississippi. The weather has turned intensely warm again. The rain of yesterday afternoon had but little efleet in cooling the tempera ture of the atmosphere. Timox.

Your correspondent reached the beauti. iul little town of Lexington this morning in time to be present at the "commence ment exercises" of the far-famed Virgi nia Military Institute. Arriving at tb Presln teriau Church about half-past teu I j o'clock, I found it rapidly filling with the j' beauty and intelligence of the town and h vicinity ; and while waiting for the arrival 11 of the cadets, I hud opportunity to indulge j 1 in a review of the past history and future J prospects of the Institute. The Virginia i Military Institute was organized in 183D upon the plan of the United States Acade my at West l'oint, "Und up to the destruc tion <>i its beautiful buildings by the van dal Hunter the Institute enjoyed a patron age limited only by its accommodations. At the time of the burning of its build ings it numbered three hundred cadets. Since its organization it lias had two thousand matriculates, of whom five bun dled have graduated. What it contributed t?? the efficiency of the Confederate army is ton well known to require repetition. Besides sending to the contest such men as Lieutenaut-Gencral T. J. Jackson, Major Gencral R. E. Rhodes, Brigadier-General R. E. Colston, and Colonel Crutchlleld, from among its professors, there were edu cated at the Institute the following among many other accomplished officers: Major Generals William Mahone, J. A. Walker, and G. C. Wharton; Brigadier-Generals K. L. Walker, Samuel Garland, W. R. Terry, W. T. C. Humes, A. J. Vaughan, B.T. Elliott,T.T. Munford,J. H. Lane, J. McCausland, and J. E. B. Terrill. Three of its professors, (Jackson, Rhodes, and Crutchdeld,) two of its assistant profes sors (Captain W. II. Morgan and Lieuten ant L. Crittenden), and one hundred and twenty-five of its alunmi, were killed in battle*, and three hundred and fifty others were wounded during the war. The ruins of the buildings were a fair type of the prospects of the Institute a year ago; but, thauks to the energy of Superintendent Smith, arrangements have beeu completed to accommodate at legist one hundred and fifty cadets next session, and that number will undoubtedly be secured. The Fede ral authorities at first refused to allow thorn to resume the military feature of the school (General Terry even issued orders forbidding them to bury with mili tary honors the cadets who fell at New Market); but I believe that all opposition has at last l>een removed, and the institution will l?? placed next pen sion on its old basis of military instruction and discipline. The Board of Visitors were certainly fortunate iu being able to fill the vacant chairs with such men as General G. W. Custis Lee, Colonel Wil liaru B. Blair, and Captain John M. Brooke. But euough of the past history of the In stitute. I started to give a brief sketch of the "commencement exercises." At the appoiuted hour, two processions filed down the opposite aisles; the one composed of the Board of Visitors (of whom there were prcseut Uon. W. H. Mac tar land, Colonel George BoRing Z. Turner, Esq., Colonel M. G. Herman, Hon. W. R. Staples, Gene, ral IV illiam II. Richardson, ana Governor F. II. Fcirpoiiit), and the Faculty; and the other composed of the cadets. No brass band, nor even a fife and drum, delighted the small boys and negro** as in the olden time. Your correspondent noticed a scene w hich tie would suggest as appropriate for M*tuo master painter to sketch : Kohkkt E. Lte sitting alongside of Fbastis H. Pkib poist. By the way, it has been a matter of some wonder how the man who " could set nothing in the character of Jackson to admire" happened to visit" the grave ol Jackson and home of Lee." The exercises were opened with prayer bv Re- pr. White, and Cadet Glazebrook occasion, Mr. 0. K. Macon, of Richmond. It was understood that Mr. Macon's ad-; dross had been culled by the Faculty of ' many tlilnga which it was supposed would i not bo agreeable to the loyal ears of onr , j44 Governor;" and yet the young orator j ; gave utterance to several beautiful tributes 1 to the fallen heroes of the 44 lost cause," i which were applauded to the echo. The address was a kind farewell to cadets, pro. feasors, citizens, and ladies. He was responded to on l*ehalf the , corps of cadets by Mr. II. Dinwiddle, of \ Lynchburg. J heard Mr. Dinwiddle's speech spoken i j of as a "literary gem," but as he read it j ' in a low tone, I was unable (though seated : ! near the stand) to hear enough of it to ibrni an independent opinion of my own. At the conclusion of Mr. Dinwiddic's *pccch, which was greeted with frequent applause, General Smith came forward to deliver the diplomas to those who had won them. He complimented the graduating class that they had attained such high merit despite the fact that they had been , surrounded by circumstances mi adverse to systematic study. He then delivered di plomas to the following graduates, who stood in the order of their names; 1. O. A. Glazcbrook, of Richmond. 2. J. G. James, Richmond. 3. A. Marshall, Richmond. 4. G. K. Macon, Richmond. F. T. Lee, Lynchburg. J. A. Critchton, Richmond. 7. A. W. Overton, Kentucky. 8. G. Bennett, West Virginia. D. G. Spiller, Lynchburg. 10. M. J. Exekicl, Richmond. The Board of Visitors und the 44 Go- j ' vernor " were called on for speeches, but | | none of them responded, j To-night, Colonel Withers, of Lynch-1 j burg, is to address the cadets, and a rare treat is expected. The annual cadets' j t ball also comes off, and the ladies are in a I high state of expectancy. _ j By way of contrast, I may mention that j the 44loyal freedtnen"?protected and en-: eouraged by the Bureau?are now having , at the Fair'Grounds a grand tournament, 1 and are to have at Odd Fellows' Hall to-1 night a grand coronation ball, where the j successful knight will crown Miss Sukev' .Snow 44 Queen of Love and Beauty." An Eventful History.'?William 11. Wilson, a very intelligent young man of nineteen, presented himself to us yester day morning and asked, through the Piai yane, to l?e put in comiuunication with his parents, who, he is told, are somewhere in New Orleans. Ilis history, for so young a man, whieh he told us in a straightforward manner, having llrst made affidavit to the samo before Justice Hero, is ono of the most eventful of the eventful histories of the war. lie tells us he is a native of Lynchburg, Va.; his father's name James II. Wilson, his mother's maiden name Maria Jones. At the outbreak of the war he sought serviee, and going to Richmond, was there regularly commissioned bvJu dali P. Benjamin, then Secretary of War, in the secret service, lie was then four teen years old, and his commission was dated May 1st, lhCl. With this he re ported tirst to General Beauregard at Ma nassas, and was thence sent across the ene my's lines. He afterwards received similar orders from General Johnston and General Hill, and continued in service till Septem ber 8, 18f?4, when lie was captured at Ber muda Hundreds, taken to Norfolk, tried before a military commission as a spy, con victed, and sentenced to he hung. On nc couiitot his extreme youth his sentence was commuted by President Lincoln to twenty j years imprisonment iu the Ohio State prison, whither he was at once transferred and confined till May 2S of the present year? j one month ago?when he was fully par doned by Andrew Johnson. Immediately after his pardon, young Wilson visited his j home at Lynchburg, Va., w here lie was in formed that .his parents removed to this ! city after the close of the war, iu June of last year, about a year ago. He arrived in ; this city yesterday morning from Cairo by ! the steamer David White.?Xeic Orleans j Picayune, June JO. A Gang of Inmana Robbers Broken) I r?Arrest of a Number of.the Gang? ! Recovery of Stolen Property.?For Home time past it has been circulated that I here was in our midst a regularly organ-! ized band of robbers, but until last Friday I it has been impossible to obtain sullicient I evidence to make arrests. On Thursday ! night, at a late hour, a citizen of Eaton, f'reblc county, Ohio, having occasion to j ?>e from home, discovered a young man j n the outskirts of town who informed j liui, in answer to an interrogation as to j vhat lie was doing there, that he was wait ug for a friend. The hour and tfie ap pearance of the young man caused him to ?aspect that there was " something rotten in Denmark," and he went to the residence )f the town marshal and communicated ahathehad seen. That officer at once repaired to the place indicated and urrest i?d the young man, who proved to l?e Henry Amsdeii, from that city, lie was i provided with u dark lantern and a coin-1 plete outfit of burglar's implements. Atusden at once confessed that he was I there "on business," and that he was con nected with a gang who had perpetrated a number of robberies, }Ie gave the names of a number of the confederates?several of whom have been arrested ; among them were Thomas Ilogan of this city, a young man by tho name of Vedder, and live members of the notorious Stogdou family, residing near New Paris?the father, mother, two sons, and a daughter. Stog don's home has been a rendezvous for the gang, and it was there they secreted their plunder. Quite a number of articles of value have been recovered; jewelry, boots and shoes, a clock, and a lot of carriage maker's tools stolen from Lippencott's shop in this city. Amsden, Ilogan and the elder Stogden and one of his sons and Vedder are now iu jail. Mrs. Stogdon, daughter, and youngest son, a mere lad, procured bail. We understand that Ams den had turned State's evidence, and in addition to those already named, a num ber of other persons residing in this city, Hamilton, and Cincinnati will he impli cated. We hope that every one of the scalawags will he ferreted out, and receive the punishment due their transgressions.? liictnnond (Indiana) Journal, June 20th. A Siberian Woman.?A gentleman who is engaged in the telegraphic expedition in Siberia relates the following incfdenttn> letter to a friend in Cincinnati: " I met w ith a Korak woman, of about twenty-two years of age, on the great Tundra (marked Kerau on the map), who drove a team of reindeers with a loaded sledge fifty versts in one day, and at night slept out in the snow with no covering whatever except the clothes she had worn during the day, and iu a temperature forty three degrees below zero, or seventy-five degrees below the freezing point!
