£f||tce£s FKIDAT, MAT IS.'ISGt TUB STATE OF THE CONFLICT The eyes of the nation are straining in ‘ eager and hopeful, -but anxious, watch of the operations in Virginia, as day succeeds day, and the glorious Army of the Potomac, slow ly end against tremendous and desperate Instance, but as If fully inspired by the xm-onqueraldc tenacity and vigor of its Jcedtr, lights and struggles onward, tried but victorious, 'bleeding and Buffering, but trium ybant Our very hearts seem to pause In their beating-as welistcn, breathless, for the ysost meagre news of the conflict The case seems to stand thus:, Grant has given the rebels a “ close hug** for, eight days, during which the losses on both .sides Stave been heavy, but not so unequal as to give either party any known advantage. We lave lost several prominent officers, but us reported, Longstreet has been mortally, snd Lee seriously, wounded, these losses la addition to Jones and Jenkins killed, and Tegram, Pickett and Hunter wounded, would embarrass them on the field, while our. losses however seriously the nation would lament the deaths of Sedgwick, Wadsworth and Hays, and the temporary loss of .Getty, Gregg and Owens, would still leave the effi ciency and morale ol our army unimpaired, go tar about even. We have gained the following points. We have made an advance, flanking the enemy, and being assailed, have. won.the field of bat tle and the prestige of victory in a fair stand up fight with the rebcls,upon ground new to tie and familiar to them, and In which we were compelled to rely on that arm of the service in which the rebels hare been most confidbnt, viz., infantry, without being able, to any considerable extent, .to use our best arm—artillery, and that in which tvc have during the past year risen superior—cavalry. We are, up to the last advices, driving them from this field into those iu which, other arms of the service will avail ns, thus adding greatly to our relative superiority. By our occupation of Fredericksburg and ;Aqula Creek os a base instead ol Washington, we have reduced the line of our overland com munication some sixty miles. This,works a saving of the forces necessary to keep open our communications, nearly or quite equal in numbers to our entire losses in the late battles, and Is equal to a reinforcement of 15,000 men. We have destroyed the value to Lee of his position on the Bapidan which he has been so long fortifying, -and compelled him. to accept the alternative of defeating * onrarmylna fair fight or retiring toward Richmond. We have foiled and worsted his efforts to cripple, or impair the efficiency of our army, and compelled, him to look to his own line of supplies and of retreat. As against this we are unable to perceive any one positive item of advantage which has ac crued to the army of Lee. We look to the present position therefore as full of hope. Two circumstances, both especially hope ful, appear throughout our dispatches; first Lae opened the battle on. Thursday wit a furious, offensive attacks on our lines, being almost altogether the assailant. Oof lines were then hardly formed and neither Grant . nor Meade desired then to bring on an en gagement Such is the tenor of our own ac counts, though Lee on Thursday evening telegraphed to Richmond thanking a merci ful God that every attack of Grant had been repulsed, from which it would appear that the old policy of holding the army of the Potomac up to bs whacked at by the rebels had not been altogether followed by; Grant. But ob Friday Grant is at least equally With Lee the assailant, and in the Spotsyl vania battles, and up to the present time, / every dispatch represents our army acting • snore and more on the offensive and the rebel army on the defensive. Burnside, Hancock . and Warren have frequently fallen powerful ly upon tbo rebel lines in the famous “crush ing *’ style, of which, In Virginia, the rebels Bern to have had heretofore the monop oly. The second circumstance of hops Sm that Grant himselfhaa throughout shown himself more hopeful and confident of Bis position’ than Lee. The degree of con- Udence. felt by the two Generals ap pears |ln their strategy. Grant plays the bolder game. He dares to swing clear of his communications to fight, Lee dares not. He dams to flank Lee and advance. Xea .has an equivalent opportunity to - flank Grant and- march on Washington, ■ but - dares not, and is far more cautions nt the close of the fighting than at its commencement. The game is in skillful frauds. We believe there will be lew blun ders,made on either side. But wo look for wuccees. - ■ ’Butler’s dispatchesaresoundlng,lndefinite Snd'unsatisfactory. We hope to hear of heavier fighting from bit quarter, and of a lively attack by him on Elcluhond, aa the only guarantee that Lee may not be rein * forced. Grant has given few words, but heavy blows. Our confidence would be in creased by like news from Dufler. TAXATION AND COPPCBHBIB TBVIH. The Democrats in and out of Congress to Be divided as regards the war. A small section are “ for peace at any price,” and have the courage to say so. although it sSmst of necessity expose them to, odium. Another section, and much the larger one, Claim to be for tbe war, and lie in wait to catch the party in power in some delinquency ornnfallhfolncsi in carrying it on. “A more Vigorous prosecution of the war,” was the cry under which Seymour was elected Gov cmoTof New York. His ground is in sub stance that of tbe party in Congress, which claims to be for enbduing tbe rebellion by force. Now thtg section of the Democracy know, well as anybody else, that war costs money, and that it is aa necessary to maintain tbe financial condition of the country as, to light the enemy in the field. Hence one mode of their attack upon the Administration has Been, to find fault with Us financial position find measures. They have predicted all sorts of disasters from the unfaithfulness of the Governments not takiag care of the moneyed Interests necessary to bold up the country. But to take care of tbe finances, means tax ation. That we have not borrowed enough, even tbe Democrats could not aver. Bnt ws liare foiled to tax sufficiently. Well, there la Siothing like putting men to the test. It is easy to talk; let as see how they will vote. The proof of puddings ia not in writingverses about tbe meal they are made of, but in the taste of the pudding Itself when cooked. And so a bill is produced, increasing and extending the taxation so as to secure an ade quate revenue for carrying on the war. The fiUl was carefully drawn and thoroughly elab orated. -Its aim was to tax luxuries heavily, hut to leave the necessaries of life to bear lighter burdens. The Bill commended itself to the Democ racy, to the extent that no considerable fault Was fonnd with it. Some little earplug was Indulged in as to its minor provisions, bnt Its main features defied criticism. How did the Democrats meet it? Did they come up. like men and make good their brave words, By voting for it t Did they say—as the oppo sition said in the Mexican war, “This Is not our affair; Ills of your getting up; bnt aa the country is at war, and its honor must be maintained,* we shall vote the moneys to sus tain it, and leave tbe responsibility with yon.” When the bin came to a rote only a little Section of them voted for It 'Ol the fifty-two member*' •who Toted for Cox as Speaker, ostensible war men, hut seven voted for the tax bin, via.; Baldwin ef Mich., Cravienc, Eng’ tioti of Conn., Holman of Ini., Boblnaon of yn t gteele ofN. J., and Winfield of N. T.; and of the twelve who voted for Dawson,only two, SaSlej and Miller. Of sixty-four men who : oppose the Administration, and yet profesa lo bo for the war, nine all told sustained the measure vital to carrying It on. Wo may see Jn this teat how much of aincerlty there ia In profession of being for the war. No , *m«r» t>e for the • war who is not lor snp* flying the means to sustain it; and all his talk to the contrary is mere bosh. The motive to all this backing down is Obvious enough. When the election comes cm, and the shallow and discontented begin to grumble about taxes. These precious pa triots of the Cex school wQI take them by the button and say, these taxes are not laid Ly our vote. We went against them from the start.*' Thus the hope is to get a few Totes to their side, by a confessed want of patriotism, and an insensibility to the public honor. It will be well is keep these things in memory. BEBKL PIETS’. - When great scoundrels in time of danger talk piety, it is evidence not of their piety |mt of their danger. The Eichmond Whig 9aya: ••And, above all, let the bring oracles ofovn I, Q i T r ell clou, and pious men and women of every* vtarsnaeion, remember that God alone glveth the Sctoty, airi that His ear is ever open to the pray ers of the righteous." •The Richmond Whig after hearing that the Victory baa boea given to Grant will proba bly add to ita creed that “ God alone glveth Victory" a qualification to the effect that stJ« ob to what the Southern people were t-tirc to do Tviih the Yankees. Tht y would ibcia tor twemryeoro and as long as theyhauj nisnlcfr. They would ehoot them and kill them iu suvand every way they could whorererihey. couirf fii-d them, and we need not think that whtn w c bad whipped their armies the trouble would hi ever. And as for the negroes they would never h ? ; liowtC‘olive in tbc South in asiatcor Creedo Hi ther would kill eprfT one of them drat. 4 Yea.* < aid she * woman as Xatn. I would take a gun and shoot every one of my nfreeia, and evsry nigger I could see, sooner than nave them remain here dree.* Poor thing! It had not occurred toher that the ‘nigger’ might learn to ahoot as well as LersclL** The fact Is, the piety of the Southern States is as rcJttcu as Its politic?. There is no more piety basis In its church than specie : ba£ls forite currency. Its piety like its gold is merely a handy thing to talk about in the newspapers. The article itself, has left the Confederacy and exists, if at oil, only In memory. Contrast with the above from a Southern woman the following which‘is de risively quoted by tbo secesh papers: A New England woman In writing to a metropolitan journal says: “ Allow me, through your colomna, to comfort the heart ol a 'Mother of Soldiers,* by seaming; her that throughout New England, from the pulpit,, the hearthftoue and the closet, prayer ascends to God without ceasing;, lor the success of oar arms in the confine conflict, snd for the final triumph of truth and right We are learning to 4 ceaee from nun.’ and. while our hearts quiver, they trust in the Lord.” The doctrines that “ God alone giveth tbo victory, and that His ear is ever open to the prayers of the righteous,** are of the sound est kind, but the difficulty is to see bow the rebels can derive any comfort from either. LUXURIES DURING WAR* A movement In the right directlos has bean Inaugurated in Washington, New York and Philadelphia, in which the ladies are .|he movers. Its aim is to repress the prevailing extravagance of tbs times; and the special measure resorted to is s refusal to purchase goods of foreign manufacture daring the war; especially costly arllclM of luxury, such as jewels, costly silks, and other finery. The . movement zb participated in by ladles whose position entitles them to respect and influ ence ; and we hope their example may be contagious, sad that it may spread through the country. In the beginning of tbo war we were told 'from the pulpit, that one of our national rices which needed correction, was extrava gance, ani that the--displeasure of Heaven zested upon ua •on its account. If it was true then, it Is doubly true now. If it was a mistake then, it does not follow that its assertion would so be now. Americans are always inclined to over-dresff; and never, surely, did the tendency so run riot as daring . this war... . But the truth Is, not the wearers of dry goods alone rush Into extravagance. Trade In all its departments is running wild. The disposition to speculate has seized upon all classes of dealere. ‘VTc have speculation in slocks, money, dry goods, groceries, bread stuffs, meats, provisions, and track of every sort. Beei Cattle ore bringing more than two prices. Sugars go np as often as the sun does. Hens can no longer lay without twice the former compensation. Now this Is not the result of any necessity whatever. Beyond a moderate margin, it is the result ot speculations, and in some cases ol combinations to speculate. There is no reason why butter should cost 40 to 50 cents per pound; eggs 20or even 15 cents the dozen; or coffee sugars 25 to 27 cents. A species of insanity is haring its run, and if the public give way to it, there is no knowing where it will stop. The remedy Is obvious. Let the consum ing public set their faces like a flint against it. Let them refuse to eat butter at fifty cents, and butter, will-come down. Let economy he restored to its place among the virtues, and the prices of necessary articles will adjust themselves to a reasonable scale. But there is a class of articles which ought to be shunned altogether while the nation is at war. Costly silks, brandies, jewels and foreign finery of every kind can be dispensed with, and it is a griev ous impropriety to send our f gold abroad to buy them at the expense of the national credit. It is \ slur upon the men denying themselves all Amt rations of salt meat and bard tack in the field to put down rebellion, that another set of the peo ple shall roll in luxury the meanwhile. Let loyal and conscientious people take these things into consideration; and the remedy will at once suggest itself Rebel Words of Hope* NVc cut at random the following extracts from the secesh organ of this city to show our readers the proclivitiea.ol that sheet It haa.not a solitary word of encouragement or hope for the anxious community, awaiting breathlessly each succeeding instillment .of news—only these dismal croaking*. See how they agree with the rebel extract appended to them: ; “A failure in the case ot either (Sherman or Grant, would not be surprising, while In any event onlv bjow and toilsome progress la possible.”— EdloriaX y , “ There Is nothing startling this morning, bat il ls very evident that neither Grant nor BaUcr has pained any decided adTaula^e.” — TeUgraph. “ There are reports that Grant will not be heard from for a week, and for that time be will get no supplies unless the road can be rebuilt,I’— 1 ’— Ttlt prai'h, ' “if- the rebels givens as much tronble on the route as they have thus far oar chances‘for sn> cess are small indeed.”— Telegraph. “That everything la progressing favorably on the Kapidan we have no doubt.”— Richmond J£c •cminer, HA. ‘ There Is no difference in the views of the secc-sh organ here and the eccesh digan at Richmond. Tho former gloats over antici pated disaster to oar arms, sees no advan tages gained, predicts ruin ahead, and at the same time is in a cold sweat lest the Union army should achieve a victory. Before the conflict commenced, it announced that a vic tory would be of uo service to us nor detri ment to tbe rebels, while a defeat would en tail the downfall of the Republic and tbe in dependence of the Confederacy. v And now the conflict has begun, and the clouds begin to lift, their editorials all point tbe same way, and their, mails and dispatches are moulded and revised to indicate the truth ot their po sition. It is a burning, shameful disgrace tbit the loyal community of Chicago are compelled to support by their taxes. a paper which so boldly gives aid and comfort to fkaitors. It is humiliating that while mil lions of loyal hearts are waiting anxiously, almost breathlessly for the glad notes of vic tory, a paper should ha printed in ’oyal Chi cago prating treason and croaking disaster.

Tbo concentration of troops has been so heavy that it seems to be the settled convic tion that the rebel army will fall back. If they fight, however, it will be in the neigh borhood of Kesaca, where the country is fa vorable for defense.

General Grant is not a nan to promise vic tory nor to parade incomplete reanlte. In all his'past achievements he has preferred to •peak after than te epaculate before's battle. Die extraordinary precautions for the late conflict were in harmony with this fine char acteristic. For sixty days all correspondence with the army, or from the army, was stop ped. No newspapers were allowed to circu late until after due notice. Correspondents of the various leading journals were duly reg istered, and compelled to report at headquar ters, at stated daily periods, to prevent sud den and unauthorized departures, and noth ing was permitted to be sent over the wire*. Up to this moment, now nearly eleven o’- clock a. sa., not a word has been received from him by the War Department. Tha train* with the wounded are hourly expected, and not a straggler from the front, and not a de serter, has been seen since tbe battle of Thurs day. All these indications show that he was determined to keep h!i own counsel, and to do bis work thoroughly, reserving-the duty of giving results to ms superiors when these had been achieved. Before Gen. Graatleft for the army, the President wrote him a warm and grateful letter, thanking him for his en ergy and his devotion, and wlshlnghim “God epefd” in the sublime task that had been assigned to him. To this epistle it is said the General briefly and modestly replied, stating that he would do his utmost to fulfill public expectation; that he was under the deepest obligations to Mr. Lincoln and tbe Amin Is tratlon: that all his requests had been com , piled with, and that no one had attempted to embarrass, but that each and all had tolled to encourage, assist, and strengtfaen bim. Upon one brain, therefore, all tbe chief military re sponsibility has reposed. Rarely, it ever, have such a weight of care and aneh destinies been devolved upon any human being. Should General Grant be equal to this mighty work, he will be the deliverer of his country. As be is patient and persevering, so let ns be.

The following letter was read by Senator Ebcnnan during the consideration of the National Currency Bill: Treasury Department, May 8, ISM. Sir: Nothing but my deep sense of the Importance of sustaining, by every possible means, the public credit, upon which the sole dependence of the Government to suppress the insurrection must rest, would induce me to address you this letter upon a subject which has already received so much consid eration. The bill in relation to the National Banking System, now under debate, is In tho nature of an amendment to the act of last session. Though a complete bill in itself, it contains lew provisions not substantially embraced In that act) among which that in relation to the measure and distribution of taxation may be regarded, perhaps, os the most important, tnd under ordinary circumstances there might be no Insuperable objection to leaving the property organized nuder the National 'Barking Law, subject, as are almost all de scriptions of property, to* general taxa tion— State, national ana municipal. But in the present condition of the country, I feepcctfmJy submit that this particular de scription of property should be placed in the lame category with imported goods befo re their entry into general consumption, and be Subjected to exclusive national taxation. At the present moment the duties on imports form the sole reliance of the Government for means to pay the interest on the public debt.- If to these means the taxes to be paid by the national banks shall be added, a most Important addition will be made to these measures.. The mere fact that these taxes are made payable to the National Govern ment, and so rendered available for the pay ment of interest on the public debt and for the reduction of !U principal, will strength en the public credit and lacillUto the nego tiation of the necessary loans, at moderate rates of interest. I have no doubt that such a disposition of these taxes would be worth more to the Government during the present struggle in practical results than three times the actual value of the taxes themselves. I do not at all suggest that this description of property shoulouot be taxed as heavily as any other description.' On the contrary, I think It Jnst that it should bear Its full pro portion of the public burdens. lam only anxious that the taxation upon It shall be made to contribute as largely as possible to the genera] welfare, and it is the conviction deeply impressed on my mlud that it will contribute more when aegregated In one mass, and made to tell upon the general pub lic credit, than when distributed between the nation, and the States, and numerous municipal corporations, that prompts meto address these views to yon. Under any plan of petition that may be. adopted, the amount of taxation distributa ble to the several States and municipalities will be comparatively small and unimport ant,, and it is quite possible th&t the total taxation of banking property for all purpo ses. will be leas than It will if taxed exclus ively for natlonaljmrposes. The advantages of partition to States and municipalities, will, therefore, be small, and the banks may not lose by It. The nation alone will be In jured. It will not be understood, of course, that the foregoing suggestions are intended to apply to real estate held by any 'banking institutions—that description ‘or property must necessarily be held by titles understate laws, and should properly be subjected ex clusively to State taxation, except In the event of a direct tax by Congress. [The case is otherwise with the personal property and' eredita of the banking associations. * These receive their organization from national law and for great national purposes, and may. therefore, be with great propriety, and, as I have endeavored to show atthepresenttime, with great public advantage, be subjected to exclusive national taxation.

She remonstrated’ with him.ashe states, telling him it would not bb right, and. . that he had better lay down and sleep aadha would feel better. He went tombed and arose about 5 o’clock in the morning; soon afleri his wife being asleep, he seized hl» axo and iiteijtlly. chopped her head to pieces.! _He struck her two blows with the blade of- tho axe, and one with the head, either of which, would have proved fatal-,Her head was near ly severed irom her bo"3y with one blow of the axe, and the chin and breast were ent by another blow. The blow from the head of the axe was given in the temple, crushing the skull. The demon then attacked his sleep ing boy, in the same bed, and in the same cruel manner put him to death. At least two blows were given the little fellow, either of which would have killed him. One of tho wounds on the boy was upon the neck, sev ering the blood vessels—the other was upon ■ the left shoulder—both blows with tho blade of the axe I Tho family living In the other part of the house, hearing the straggle -gave the alarm, and soon Dr. James Nichols, Ford Fanning, Joseph Robinson.

He had been in the army having been drafted last falL Ho was discharged some two months since for disability. It is said he was eonlined in the lunatic asylum at Alexcndria, Ya., for a time before his dis charge, and was, as rumor has It, In chains, but since his arrival home had appeared ra tional He imagined his wife and child would become beggars.

He cut himself with tbs blade of the azo seven times about the head and once in the body, but none of the wounds are dangerous. He is represented as being avery Industrious man, of good habits, and very fond of his wife ami child. He says he bad no ill to wards bis victims, but desired their death for their own good. He made a full acknow ledgment of the horrid deed to Dr. Nlfhols, and also before the coroner’s jury, avowing that he wanted to die, and meant to kill him self as soon as he had made way with his wife and child. He had purchased a small piece of land of Dr. Nichols, made some im provements, and had kept his payments'up. The murdered victims were brought to Alle gany and buried last Sunday.

Tho Boot* of Bennett’s Guerillas la the Green Hirer Country* - (.From tne Loaisnlio Journal, May 9.1 We leam by way of Morganfleld, Ken tucky, that, early on the morning of the 29t1 sf April, the Unioij cavalry, under command of Captain Brown, overtook Bennett’s horse thieves just as they had arrived on the bank ot Green River, and were attempting to cross. On the approach ol tbe Federal cavalry the ihicvei were thrown into great confusion, and made preparations for a hasty skedaddle. Being nearly surrounded on three sides, and with a flowing river in front, the robbers were unable to make a successful retreat. Horses and guns were abandoned, and each individual appeared, to be impressed with tbe ides that his escape was ol the most vital Im portance. Captain Brown ordered bis boys •to charge. The line swept forward, deliver ing two volleys with the advance. The no torious robber cutthroat, Captain Cook, was shot through the body and killed. Two of tbe horse thieves were mortally wounded and taken prisoners. The greater portion of the gang succeeded in getting across tbe mer, and, with Bennett at their head, at lost accounts, were making tbeir way Into Ten nessee. Captain Brown captured ten horses in tho skirmish, and quito a number of shot guns. Bennett has received a severe check, and another such repulse will so weaken the band that Ita etfectiveness will be gone. Ken tucky has been the theater ofßennett’s success and also of his defeats.

[.From the Richmond Examiner, Hay 3.] • The President and his family have just mot with a great affliction in the sudden aud vio lent death of Joseph E. Davis, second son of tho President, about four years old. He. fell from the east poriico on Saturday afternoon, between three and four o’clock, a distance folly fifteen feet, fracturing bis hip and injur ing bis head. Mr. Davis and bis wife were absent from the mansion at the time of the accident, and seme minutes most have elaps ed before tho facts of the accident and the discovery of the condition ot the child was made by the servant. The sufferer was taken into the nnrseiy, and a messenger dispatched in haste for the President and bis lady. Drs. Paticolas, Conway and Garnett, the family physician, successively came in and; Applied their skill without avail. Tbs child was in sensible when picked up, and never recov ered consciousness, dying in about three quarters of nn hour after being taken up by the servant and carried Into the house. The luncral took place yesterday afternoon at firs o’clock, from St. Paul’s Church, the Rev. Dr. Mlnnegerode officiating.

An application of mustard was recommended to relieve bU pain, and he consented to bare It tried. His wife, on go ing down to the kitchen, found the mustard, but nothing suitable to spread it upon, and her pocket-handkerchief was taken, for that purpose. Ko time was lost in returning. In a moment she was at the bedside, and— ap-. plied the plaster. “There, that will help you, I know,” said she. She had , scarcely finished the sentence, however, when tho poor man turned over and roared, “Whit the d—l are you about?” It was not her husband’s voice I Her lamp had given but a feeble light, and she had got Into the wrong room I She found her own apartment with out delay, and related the circumstance to her husband, adding, with horror, that her name was on the handkerchief! The sick man was completely overcome with laugh ter. His colic disappeared as suddenly as It came It was agreed not to remain long in those parts. The landlord was called up, the affair explained, and the man and wife left on the earliest express train.
