Probable suicide --A person calling himself J. M B. Ruttedge, Lieutenant in the Texas cavalry, has mysteriously disappeared from the Globe Hotel, in Augusta, Ga, and has probably committed suicide. In the room which he had occupied were found two empty envelopes, one of which was directed to "Hon. J. P.

ed on the lines in front of Richmond and Petersburg. Grant has issued an address to the Armies of the Potomac and James, congratulating them upon the success of the land and naval expedition against Fort Fisher.

General Pleasanton was championed by the anti Lane party in Kansas during the last election, and this fact compelled the Lane party to pitch into him — consequently an ill-feeling has broken out, which would naturally find vent in the accession of General Pleasanton to command. The principal military operations in Kansas just now consist of vigorous measures against the Indians on the Overland Mail route. General Thayer has been removed from command at Fort Smith, Arkansas, and General Syrus Bussay, formerly a Breckinridge Democrat of lowa, appointed his successor. General Bussay is now a decided Abolitionist, and hates rebels worse than rattlesnakes. The change in commanders at Forth Smith may tend to discourage the plans of the cotton-speculating, horse-trading store- runners who have virtually managed that district ever since its acquisition.
