The members of company C, 11th Indiana Cavalary, as a testimonial of the esteem and respect entertained by them forth eir captain, both as an oilicer and a man, presented him with a splendid cavalry sabre, at camp Schuz, near Nashville, Tenn , May 12th. The presentation was made in behalf of the company with a neat and appropriate speech by Serg't J. A. Showers; which was responded to by Captain Henderson as fol lows: Soi.oir.Bs Company C: I accept the magnificient present purchased and pre-i sented by you through Serg’t Showers, I although, doing so, perhaps, I am accepting a gift not justly my due; as tokens of this kind are more appropriately made when men have shown themselves on the battle field. But coming from you, my comrades in arms, who were brave enough to “'rally round’’ the dear old flag when your country called for assistance, and as a memento—- “ When this cruel war is o'er,” to bind more firm in memory the association of the past, I receive and shall ever keep it with pride. Trusting in God that I may so act in the future that you ! will never have cause to regret the confidence you have placed in me. That I peace may soon smile over our now distracted country; and that we all may be fortunate enough to return to our homes. I again thank yon for this handsome present. X THE NEWS. On Saturday noon—our latest advices 1 —the army of the Potomac was fifteen miles below Spottsylvania Court House, and ‘everything was progressing successfully.’ A letter from Guiney’s Station says that Grant has effected a turning movement on the right flank of Lee, that the latter is tailing back to take up a new defensive position, and that his next stand, it is expected, will be on the South Auua River. The rebels made an attack upon Butler’s intrenchments at midnight on the : 21st inst., and were repulsed, leaving! their dead—2s3 in number—on the field Butler's defences are said to be “almost impregnable. A Richmond paper admits that the rebel loss in the battle on the 15th was 1,503. The Federal loss on that occasion is stated on official Fed-1 oral authority, at nearly 5,000. 3,100 federal wounded have been sent down the James river since the commencement of the campaign. TA e have a statement from Louisville ! that John Morgan, with 6,000 men is at Abbigton, A a., intending to make an immediate raid into Kentucky, via Pond Gap; while at Indianapolis there is a report that Morgan is in the vicinity of Lexington, Ky., with a force of 12,000. Federal troops ere being sent forward. Gov. Seymour in his letter to District Attorney Hall relative to the seizure; of the World and i Journal of Commerce offices, says that. “If these acts of violence were done without due legal pro coss, and without the sanction of State or national laws as it, charged the offenders must be punished," The Governor directs the District Attorney, in prosecuting the par ties implicated, to call upon the Sheriff and police authorites ‘’for: any needed force and assistance.” There is a prospect that the proposition to draft for one year will be carried in Congress; but it is believed that the projected repeal of the §3OO commutation clause will fail in the House. At the Missouri radicd State Convention, which meets at Jefferson city to-day, the principal question will be whether to send delegates to Bi'timore or Cleveland.

The Effect of a High Tariff. —The late abominable and extra ordinary increase in the tariff is producing its legitimate result in smuggling. '1 i.e Washington eorrispondent of the New Y ork Times I says: “Indeed, there is a general complaint from the Departments, that the smuggling of silks, sat ins, &c., is already immense from Canada. Our detectives, in secret, are now being sent over to Cara da, to watch. The Ways and Means have had before them the Register of the Treasury, who proposes to adopt for this country the lead seals, and marks known in Europe for trunks, baggage cars. &c, —while pa-sing from country to country. XV e arc to have, necessarily all sorts of restrictions now laid upon our Canada and Provincial trade.” It will be seen that we are preparing to adopt one of the most infamous features of European despotism in order to sustain our barbarous tariff. i Butler’s Escape.—The ccr-i rcspoodent of the N. Y. Times says. “A bearer of dispatches I from major Gen. Butler to the President arrived here this after- ‘ noon and he subsequently made a statement in presence of the Joint i Committee on Conduct of the War and Senate .military Committee, He states that on Saturday last, Beauregard, with seven thousand men, made a surprise attack upon Gen. Buller about ten miles from Richmond. So sud-! dent and unexpected was the encounter that Gen. Butler himself narrowly escaped capture. In-1 deed his own orderly was captured within sixty yards of him.” — The difference of treatment by I (lie administration of Generals! Banks and Sigel is worthy of remarks. Banks, a favorite of the, administration, guilty of the most . shameful military misaanagement by which a splended army is broken up, thousand of lives lost and \ millions of property destroyed, ! still remains in command; while Sigel, suspected of sympathy with the German movment against the ; re-election of Lincoln, guilty only of the misfortune of being rej pulsed by a superior force, is hastily dismissed from his command and in that way sought io! be disgraced. No wonder the! German movement against the re 1 ! election of Lincoln is daily growing in magnitude and bitterness, According to the tenor of European accounts, an armistice has been agreed upon by the Danish and German belligerents, and which in all likelihood is the beginning of the establishment of peace. The Loudon conference lias the matter in charge, and its decision, as a matter of course, will ■be respected by Denmark, for the I reason that even if unfavorable to I the gallant Danes, the conference represents a weigh of authority wliich much larger States than Denmark could afford to submit to without loss of honor or dignity, We have probably heard the last of the Danish and German > war, TtTe New Nation (Fremont) says:—“Never since the creation of the world has there been a war so loosely, so stupidly, and so shamefully conducted as this, — W e wish to believe in the stupid ity rather than in the culpability of the government, but °ven stu Ipidity has its limits, East and West, North and South, everywhere we’have, the same rules—defeat.! disgrace and ruin as the solereward, of so many sacrifices, so much energy and self-denial on the part of the people; and it is time . that this was ended.” So great is the emigration now going on from Europe to this country, that the emigrants have to secure passge a long time before the-dav of s ii'ing.
