The einc Was this a haphazard one, on the worst conceiva ble ground, where cavalry wits useless, artillery conllned-to' the roads or tona few opent Spaces, anl infantry hidden or paralyzed. During this night, while the Army r of Northiern Virginia was moving into position in front of its gigantic, but apparently unnerved enemy, Lee and Jackson developed a plan for an 1 attack upon our right, which, though posto..on high groutnd, was really in the air. Lee m:ay have originated the plan, but it bears a distinctIy Jack- I sonian flavor; and, surely, without t such t lieutenant to execute it, Leo e would never have dreamed oi makiing such a risky iov4k.", The ..plan gav.e Jacksoit ubout 24,000 men.i wij hich to undertake a march around our right flank to n4 position wher1e lie might cut its off 'from Uniteil States $ Ford.

The Confederate~ loss was, if anything, higher ttan outs during this Sunday morning. Lee was re-fortming for an assault upon our new line whet rumors from Fredericksburi diverted his attention. Colonel Dodge also gives the reasons which induced the Federal command ers after the battle to retire beyond the Itappahannook. The total loss of the Potomac army was 17,200; of the army of Northern Virginia 12,300. At the coficlusion of his- lecture Colonel Dodge said: The direct refult of Chancellorsville was the second'invasion of the North ern States by Lee, which eniniittated in the defeat of the army of Northern Virginia two .tonths later on the hills of Gettvsburg. Tried by the rule of brilliant sncess. against vast odds, Lee's work in this campaign is searcely open to criticism. ''ho lero of the campaign is Thota J. Jackson, the most able lieutenant of our civil war. THE CLUVERIUS CASE. 1)ocition of the Court of Appealr Soon to be Auna.eed. It. is understood that the Virginia Court of Appeals will render a deci ston in the Cluverius case in about three weeks. Of course as to what will be the effect of (hat oipnion can only be a matter of conjecture. Taken altogether, this case is otte of the most notable ones known in the criminal history of the State. The dead body Mi.s Fanny Lillian Madison was toutnl in the reservoir more than a ye ir ago. The prisoner was arrested a few days later, and his trial followed, resutintg in his conviction a few tmonths subsequent. Ftom that timne until now noet a single new p)iece of evidentce has been discovered which throwvs the least light on thte dark mystery which surrounds the death of the young girl whose body was found in the city reservoit that cold, dreary March mortning. If there is any one besides the condamned man, who is waiting so anxiously for the decision of the Court of Appeals, who catn throw any additiontal light upotn that rragedy, lhe or. she has not made it The prisoner's conn.el think they have tmadet out a strong case, atid while they have little to say, are pro )hbly somewiqat hopeful of obtaiting a favorable dee'ssotn for their client from the Court. The strongest pomnts In the exceptions made to the rulitngs of the lower tribtunal are the admis mion of the- n'ate writ ten b)y the deceased from the American Hotel to thte ptris oner ont the ntight she left that house for the last time, andI the lettet knownt as the "Laura Curtis letter," written by the dead girl. This missive was intended to furnish an excuise for her sndden departure from Mrs. Dicker SOn'sM for Utichjmond. It was itn the handwritinig of Lillian Madislon, and( the theoty Is the girl Wrote it and mailed it here to the prisotner, who remnailed It to the deceased. This let ter purported to be from Miss Curtis, of Ri chmond, requesting Miss Madi sont to accomp~any an munt ot' the form er to 01(d Poitt as compation. The correspondence was of course a forge ry, atnd initend(ed to deceive the dead girl's employer, attd avoid arousing suspicion as to the object of hter visit to iTihbmond. The mystery of the tragic death of the betrayed girl, the intricate legal points involved in the trial of the prisoner, antd the cool self. possession mtatifested by the lattetr, have allI tended to add to the intere-st int the case.

How- t d's best brigade was gone and there I is not a man to support him between c uwdall's and Chancellorsville, for I is portion of the line under Sickles a d been advanced into the woods i arly two miles. On the right flank this little .force lay Jackson's corps I over 20,000 men, *hose wide wingp, e the arms (f a gigantic cuttlefish ere ready to clutch it in their fatal ubrace.

But, with a nowledge of Jackson's habit of mys cry, of his wonderful speed attnd fight ng capacity, a,d of his presence on nr right, with all the means of knowl dge that this same right flank was s)lated4)y two miles of impenetrable voods from any supporting force, he at still, folded his hands and ptiently vaited events. ''ho lith corps was eating supper. %rms Werostacked as the brenstworks ooking south were but fairly sub tantial. Facing east were tione. Somie areleasness was apparent, in that mbulances, itmmunitibn wagons, pack nules, and even a drove of beeves vere close behind the line. Every inc was at ease, though a few were lot wanting In anxiety. Little Wil lerness Church, near by, endeavored o stamtp ia peaceful air upon the war ike scene. The general feeling seemed o be that 'it was too late to get up nuch of a light on tiat day. Jackson, in three lines, Rhodes ill udvance, golston next and A. P. Hill itilh corping up, lay close by. lIe had :aught hlooker's right in flagrante lelictu. At 6 p. in., the order was riven, and 22,000 of the best infantry n existence closed rapidly down upon he flank of 10,000 of the least hard mned of the troops of the Potomac. Not the Old Guard, not Fiedrich's tutomata, could have changed front tnder the staggering blow. The fight wal .shirt, sharp, deadly, but partial mly. All that man could do lDevine id. Wounded, he kept the saddle and conmtandel; but the force on the right was swept away like a cobweb by Jackson's muighty besom. Some of Schurz's regiments -made a gallant show of resistance under the terrible ordeal of friends and foes breaking through their hastily formed lines some melted away without burniigi a cartridge.

Tile worthilessness of [Hooker's (lie )osi tloll now became app1arent. .Jack son's smaillI rear guard had been play ing with Sickles, wvhile his main bot v lad extinguished lloward.

Thursday was the day set apart for .he sUbmission, by Mr. Gladstone, of his home rule bill to the House of Dommons. From the moment of his tppearance on his way to Parliamnont, the enthusiasm of the people knew no bnunds, and after he entered the House cheer after cheer greeted the Premier, while the demonstration on the pat t of the Liberals,and Parnellites was Ruch as was never ' before wit esse 1 in Euglarne. - In presenting. his bill G.adstone said "the time. has ar rived when both honor hand duty re :uire Parliainent to com6 to a decisive resolution, and liberate itself fa'um the restraints under which It has for late iears ineffectually efruggled, and -re itore legislation to' its unimpeded :ourse." lie calls for a harmonious relation between Great Vritain and hreland, such as Englishmei, Irishmen and Scotchmen will have a like inter Dst in. He referred to the coercive measures which have been in force from time to time, and deprecated any firther resort to such measures, claim ing that the first condition of civilized life in Ireland demands that the people have confidence in aud sympathy with the laws goveraing therm. The solu tion of the problem lies in the estab li'hment af a Parlitament at Dublin for the conduct of legislative and administrative business, with an equit able distribution of imperial tnads. The intention of the bill is that the Parliamenat at Dublin shall be d'al in charaacter, and comupo'ed of t "oorders, each ut' which 411111 have power to veto the acts o' tae other, tin Iir-st to he composed t 103 and the -ewomid of 20l6 inemnhers 'In a'nt *-irtht of the Irish peers will continue to sit in the Ilouse of Lords, iand Ihey will be granted lhe option of havinig.c lite seats in the first order of the proposed Par liament. The office of vicerov is to remain, but to be non-political here after; the lrish constabularv will also remain under the same authority as at present. The proposed Parliament will be empowered to deal with mat ters affecting trade and navigation, coinage, wei.:hts and measures, and po ta aair.'.

Seats for two or three mndred were arranged on the stage ,nd the body of the house was filled to verflowing with anxious and curious fateners. From the amount of puff ng that these gentlemen had received expected to hear something grand, nit I am sorry to say that I was dis ippointed. and I am not alone in my lisappointment. Mr. Moev's manner s earnest and his style simple, but here is little else to be said on the mubject that could not be said 'for )thers. He utterly failed to get liia indienco u ler control. Although the,re was th profotjndest silence dur ing his discourse, it was the silence of Lhe curious and not of an audience pell-bound by the eloquence of the 4peaker. lis attempts to excite the emlotions fell fltt, though there were a low earnest responses tp his appeals. Comaparing the -newspaper-eports and connents on the achievemeont of this gentteman thoughout the North and iII England with the result' of his work hern, I would say that he had "lo,t his grip." Without flattery to home talit I honestly believe that I have heard rtom Winnsboro piulpits lte beautiful story of salvation toid with nore eloquence, ald with t a itUIch earnStnes$ as it was told here by Mr. Moody. Do not mi>:under stantd ine -as harshly criticisint" one who is earnestly striviiig to do goo'i in his day and generation; for I believe in his sincerity of purposo and lion esty of coniviction, tnd I earnestly hope that the seeds that ho has sown will not fall upon stony ground, to be choked by thorns and thistles, but that they will fall upon rich soil and bring' forth a harvest of good. I simply mean to say that in my humble opin ion Mr. Moody's rapacity for doinggood has been overestinated. "A prophet is not without honor save in his owini country" and if ithe people who went to hear Mr. Moody-people who came in oi the excursion trains for that plr pose-would go to their own churches arid listen, with one-half the attention that they gave to Mr. Moody, to the teachings of their legitinate pastors and masters there would be little use for these well advertised, sensational affairs. The meetings brought a great many people to the city and were of consid erable benefit; doubtless, to the ner chaiits, the hotels and the railroads. Columbia is waking up ant there are many imuprovt"netts under way. There are a number of new a<ores inl course of consitruection on Main street, aul new dwellings in other pIarts of the city are being builf. A base ball epideinic threateis the city. An assuci:iion of bae-alilis ha~ been organized, and it k said that an effort will be made to have several of the League gamesplayed in this city this summer. The coining nominations for State otlicers are being mnildly di.cuissed by those interested in p slitics. z. I1LOODtHIff IN TEOXAS. A Poiticat Riot ini Laredto---Five Mens Killed asad Three Woundteti. A special to the Gialvestou News from Laredo, says'the intentse excite ment anda l.iwessniess which have pre vailed thecre for thne p)ast, fortnight cul minated last WVednesdav evening ini a bloody riot. The immediate cause is attributed bv many to a circular which appeared Wednesdav morning, an nottncinig that the D)ernocratic party wotuld hold funeral services at tou'r o'clock in thle afternmoon over lie party knownz there as the "Hnuarches."' Directly after the appearanice of' the circular, it was anisonncett that thle ''Itiiarches"' party would prevent, byv force, any sueh demuonstratiion. At four o'clock the atiteets leading to thle p>)int whence the D)emocratic p)arty was ahnetnneed to start, were block aded with armed men. For half an hour the suIspenise was intolerable. It wan then annlounced that theure wvould be no effort to bury in efligy the de feated party. 'This had a patciftic et feect, and the crowd began to disperse. Suddeiily the mus%ic of. the D)emo cratic baind struck up and the p)roces Niont miovedl ont to andl dlowni Mini street and1( tiurned into the street lead ig to the main laza. Wheni thle head of' the coluilln had reached the front of Marton's 4>re a party of tie;, armed wviih Winichesterat and revolvers, charg ed the p)rocessionl. I nstant ly over one hun mdred men't became engaged in a dlead(ly conflict, and for half. an hour a regular battle ragedh along the street iiear the river. Duiring the height of the cointlict a smtall cautnon which had been nsed by the lltnarchesa party, and wvhich is saidl to have been charged with nails5 and atontes, was~ tired dlowni the street. By 5i o'clock the mob spirit was slupremen and it was feiared that womeni and1 chtildrent would be at thme mercy of the rioters. A t this critical miomnent word was dtispatchied to Coloniel Barutard, comjmndat at Fort Melntosh, that the hecay fIring in the c ty was cauisedl byv anm atack by Mexicnis f'rom the ot her side~ of the liio Grainde. It to'k but a few momtents to double-quick two comnpaies of itfantry into the townt, before wvhomi the mob quickly lispersed, anid in a short time every' srmentd manm ott the street had hJ'B weapons takeni away fram him1 anid >r-der wvas restored.
