OUR DISPATCH FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Monday, May 20.
Col. VOSBURGH, Commandant of the Seventyfirst Regiment, New-York, died at the Navy-yard about half past eight o'clock this morning. He was attacked with bleeding from the lungs only last Friday. His remains will be taken to New-York under escort of a detachment from his late command.
Occasional arrests take place of persons charged with uttering treasonable sentiments or of being spies. In no case, however, as yet, has punishment been inflicted. One of the former class has been released on taking the oath of allegiance.
Commodore TATNALL, of the Confederate Navy, assigned to the command of the Naval forces at Charleston, has arrived there.
Col. VOSBURGH, of the New-York Seventy-first Regiment, died this morning, of hemorrhage of the lungs. His remains will be immediately transported thither. The Charleston Courier of Friday says that for two days past our port has been without the presence of the Niagara, which has left for parts unknown. She has been reported off Savannah, in company with the brig Perry, and has been seen off North Edisto, but at present there is no certain information of her position. The Huntress has also been observed near this bar, but she too has left. Our port is consequently without obstruction at this moment. Yesterday we had several arrivals from foreign ports, among them a cargo of molasses from Carports, and a British brig with pig iron and coal from Glasgow. The latter has been taken up to return to the same port with a full cargo of Sea Island cotton at the enormous freight of 2 1/2d. pound. Such a freight has not been given in the memory of the oldest inhabitant.

The Union didn’t fight just to free slaves.
The Confederacy didn’t fight just to maintain state rights.
The war was really complex.
The war encompassed all the human emotions.
The Confederacy lost.
It happened, and ended, a long time ago.
The end.
