This city hns been ?iu?;ularly free from contsgion* disease.-, while other cities and towns and neighborhoods have been terri bly pln*u-d, and we cannot be too careful lu prevent the spread of loathsome afflic tion*. tfe regret very much to learn that the snitUtry *bd city authorities have not so tar bf<Q able to w iu harmony with refer ence to tbe matter of wbicb we are apeak ,uk- 001 ste why this harmony *bou!d nut exist. We are all equally in? tere?;t>d.aud it is to be regretted that there iiiouid be any feeliug of cuptiousoess when sncb bu important matter is to be consid ered j?rls as Officer ? Soldier.?About a ye.tr a*o, at the solicitation of the military authorities here, the City Council passed au ordinance, prohibiting the dale of liquor to soldiers. The ordinance has been very rigorously executed in uituy instances and aearly all of the saloon keepers have been made to pay tbe penalties of its violation, Dai as yet uo liquor seller has been fined tor selling liquor to officers. Although the Unguago ol the ordinance is plain it has heretofore been c^ustrued to apply ouly to enlisted men. Yesterday two officers took a driok at tbe boose of George Dusch.? They were observed by a poiiaeman, who at once summoned them to appear before A!d. Robertson to testify against Dnscb, but the officers declined to be sworn, and so the matter resin for the present. Under this construction of the ordinance, which is doubtless the proper onw, Lt. Gen. Grint himself, could not get, in one of our bar rooms, a driok of tbe wbieky of whlc be was once reputed to be so foud. May a km.?A case of precocious de pravity came up before tbe Mayor of Pitts burgh on Tuesday, in the shape of a charge of mtybem against a boy six years of age. It was alleged that tbe youthful Nero, be coming outraged with a little playmate, bis junior two >ears, actually punched Its eye oat with a rusty nail; and, not con stant, with this, tbe young demon was delib erately proceeding to put out the other eye, when tbe little victims' scream* brought it assistance. A warrant was issued for the arrest ot tbe offender, but bis parents spir it?d bitn oil to the country before tbe effi cers had time to secure him. I*?F*A.aBivAL op State Convicts.?A man by tbe onrae of Baker and a man by the oaoie ot Hurrisoo, from Mason cuunty, the former convicted of unlawful shooting and the latter of horse stealiog, arrived in the city yesterday and were confined in the penitebtiary. A uiau by the name of White, from Lewis county, coovioted of breaking open a smoke bouse, also arrived and was committed. ? It is feared that tbejtil canuot be ren dered capable of couveuiumly accommoda ting all the cnnvicts that will bo sent here. Ha7*As3i33oa'3 Notice ?

Nbw Yobk, May 18.?The second edition of the World to-day says: The World in connection with the Jour nal of Commerce and all tbe city morning papers, was made the victim of a malicious hoax by some scoundrel, who imitating the manifold copy of the Associated Press, sent around the extraordinary proclamation which appeared in oar columns this morn ing. Supposing it was all right, the night edition published it in good faith, and iu falsity was not discovered until this morn ine, when tbe edition was nearly worked off. The World does not stereotype its form as do several of the morning papers, and as it is working off a very heavy edition diily, we are compelled to go to press at an un usually early hour. Tbe Journal of Commerce was deceived in the same manner as the World, and of course, quite as innocently. The Herald, we understand, printed tho false proclamation in a large edition, but fortunately for them, it was discovered ia time to suppress it on their regular edi tion. We regiet exceedingly the publica lioo, as we have just prido in publishing none but reliable news, but it was one of those inexplicable accidents which is liable to happen to any newspaper establishment.

Tbe rebels occupy the left bank of tbe James river, aod interfered with his move ments. Subsequently, however, the Ad miral advanced with theinlentiou of going as far as possible.
