TUB NEWS.
The news from General Grant’s department ia
'ereaseß in moment and interest. By an official de
spatch of the rebel General Joseph Johnston, we
learn that Pemberton waß defeated, near Edwards'
Station, after, nine hours’ fighting, with a loss of
Hhree thousand, among whom is General Lloyd
’Tilghman, killed. .General Pemberton fell back,
/behind the Big Black river. This occurred on the
'JBthi two dayß after the capture of Jackson, which
.Grant evacuated, probably on the 16t.h, to meet
Pemberton towaids Vicksburg, before thejunotion
with th&t-general of Johnston’s defeated Jackson
foroes. Thus, Grant seems to have beaten both
• WiDgß of the rebel army, to judge from hia own ac
counts, compared with thOHC of the rebels. These
successes are highly important and promising, but
all the difficulties of the campaign are not yet con
. quered. The Federal loan in the attack on Jackson
was reported to the rebels at six hundred. Our
troops captured sixteen guns. A report has reached.
Murfreesboro, to date of the 21st, that the rebels ad
mit the defeat of Johnston, and Grant's possession
ot the railroad bridge across the Big Black, thus
cutting yiok’sburg off from supplies and reinforce
ments. Thus far, Grant, and Grant’s generals, have
beaten the rebels in live superior battles, -
In the British Parliament, on the 18th, Earl
Shaftesbury denounced, with severity, the Polish
policy of Prussia, and exposed the real character of
the Russian rule of Poland. After denouncing as
evasive the fair-seeming professions of the Em-
: peror's Government in the recent diplomatic cor
respondence, he asserted that the only cure for the
evils which existed was tlie separation of Poland
from Russia,|p which, as well as to the other Euro
pean Powers, she was a source of weakness and
peril. ■ Earl Russell expresaed great confidence in
the humane intention, of the Czar, but he could not'
see how, after years of oppression and perfidy,
the Poles were to exhibit that confidence in hia
Majesty’s policy, without which, according to Prince
Gortschakoff, it was impossible to hope, for a fair
trial of the promised concessions. The question of
'-separation was surrounded with great' difficulties,
_j»nd involved the possibility of a long and costly
■war, into which her Majesty’s Government 11 would
be loth to enter without the most pressing neces
sity.” -
An ex i-j-: d itjox, comprising seven or eight regi
ments of Minnesota volunteers, has started
against the Sioux Indians, who number about
12,000, and are encamped near Devil's Lake. Gen.
Sibley, who commands the expedition, thinks they
will fall back towards British territory as the expe
dition advances. One desperate and bloody battle
appears Inevitable before a final reckoning can be
had with these murderous belligerents; A bright
future seems now open to Minnesota. Ten months
jaince an immense agricultural region of unsur
passed fertility was, in large part, owned by savages,
.and all of it at their niefcy. The Sioux and Winne
bagoes then numbered 13,000. How the southern half
<of the State is practically clear of them.
Gen. Webb and Mr. Christie, American and
lEnglißh' ministers to Brazil, have recently had a
quarrel, which figures in our English news. The
quarrel grew out of a whist party, at the house of
the Russian ambassador, at Bio Janeiro. Mr.
Christie, states that Mr. Webb was uncommonly
talkative, and interfered with the progress of the
game, whereupon Mr. Christie remonstrated. Gen.
Webb complained that the language of the English
minister was more befitting a groom, and threatened'
punishment. Mr. Christie’s statement, however, is
corroborated by notes from the Russian and Prus
sian ministers. This small quarrel o ver a game of
whist has finally coine to the notice of Parliament
and Lord Palmerston.
‘ The draft Is about to take place. The $3OB exemp
tion clause has yet to be decided by ths President.
The design of the Government is to raise soldiers,
and not to obtain reyenue, by the conscription act,
and it is not intended that this portion of the law
shall prevent the object desired. We commend at
tention to the news relaling to the draft, which we
publish elsewhere.
The appointment of Mr. Cridland, once British
vice-consul at Bichmond, to be consul at Mobile,
is announced in the Bichmond journals. They are
outraged that Mr. Cridland is “ accredited to Mr.
Lincoln,not to Mr. Davis, and his credentials bear
recent date.” Mr. Cridland is doubtless accredited
to the “Government of the United: States.”. At
this time, the British Government appears to be
very unpopular with the Southern press, and the
Mobile Register abuses the British representative
roundly.
-Mr.-Vallandigham, according to an order of
the President, will be sent beyond the lines, instead
of being confined in Fort Warren. Judge Leavitt,
whose .decision of the suit for habeas corpus is so
generally condemned by the ultra-Demooratic press,
is a.life-long Democrat, and received his appointment
from .Gen. Jackson, lie is one of the oldcstjudges
on the bench.
Gen. Schuhz has filed a request to the War De
partment to.publish his report of the battle of Ohsn
ceildrviile as an answer to insinuations against
him contained in unofficial correspondence. .He
considers the fault, lies’with his corps commander...
; A report comes from New York that the Army
of the Potomac bas abandoned its position, and is
falling back to the defences of Washington and the
Upper Potomac. The report is doubtful.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
gives credit to General Hunter for, effecting the
abandonment of the siege of Washington, N. C., by
the forces under General Hil), with the timely rein
forcement of Heckman’s brigade. ,
S: A SMALL engagement topk place on the night of the
14th, between a detachment of our forces and about
a hundred rebels on Morris Island, resulting in
the latter’s defeat. ■
■ i Tan Post has the best , authority for stating that
the Commonwealth of New York has furnished her
full quota of troops under every call.
During; the week ending on Saturday last, 793,16 S
bushels of corn, 128,265 bushels of wheat, and 45,081
barrels of flour, were received at Chicago.
Vicksburg.
• The news from the Southwest continues
to be of a most favorable character, and
fully justifies the hopeful anticipations
printed yesterday. Gen. Gbant has made
a characteristically bold movement, the final
result of which of course'can merely be an
ticipated at present. The Richmond Whig _
of -Tuesday last has a despondent article on
the “critical” condition of affairs in Mis
sissippi, in which these sentences occur :
“ Gbant, by coming so far inland, loses all'
support from the navy, and exposes his
communication to interception. The move
is a bold one, and must be made to cost him
dearly, or it will cost us dearly. Affairs
looh vgly for the present.” In the absence,
of any very startling despatches from the
Vicinity of Vicksburg, we cannot do better
than explain briefly the method by -which
this “ugly” state of affairs was .brought
about. Leaving his base of supplies at
Grand Gulf, with an army estimated by the
jshels to number 120,000 men, Gen. Gbant
proceeded by forced marches' to Jackson,
the State capital, a distance of fifty miles'
inland in a northeast direction. On Thurs
day, the 15th instant, his advance cap
tured the city after an engagement of
three hours. The rebels, under Joe John
ston, retreated northwardly about ten miles,
and entrenched-themselves between Browns
ville and Livingston. . Since the capture of
Jackson we have had no further official
intelligence from General ’ Grant. ’The
- rebels, however, 'furnish us with the most
satisfactory accounts of his progress. Having
destroyed both bridges over the Pearl river,
so as to isolate Vicksburg from all chance of
reinforcement, at least by railroad, he hastily
evacuated the town, and retreated, but in a
iMsimnliy direction. The omission of this
important concluding sentence in the de
spatches published yesterday and the day
before, led many to the conclusion that Gen.
GrAnt, in repayment for his rashness, had
met with a serious repulse. His “retreat,”
however, was in reality a rapid march
against Vicksburg. On Saturday,' the lGth.
instant, he attacked the rebel General Pem
berton, at Edwards’ Station—-a point- on
the Jackson and Brandon. Railroad, about
midway between Jackson and Vicksburg—•
and after nine hours’ hard fighting 1 gained
a decided victory, the rebels falling back to
their entrenchments behind the Big-Black.-.
.Therefore, General Grant is but twenty
jmiles west of Vicksburg, and holds the rail
road bridge across which the rebels have
been receiving all their supplies. 'There-'
■ fore, the situation in Mississippi is similar in
.one respect to that in Virginia, several,
weeks ago. General Pemberton lias been.
out-manoeuvred, as was the case with Gene
jral Lee. He must eijher abandon his en
trenchments, and fight General Grant on
.such a battle-field as the latter may select,
.01 he must retreat. Indeed, it is by no
means sure Hint the choice of these alter
natives is" lelt him. A special despatch
to a Mobile paper, which' we print in
-our news columns, states that after the
-defeat of Pemberton, our forces, estimated
.-at twenty-four thousand men,! advanced
•■eigljt miles north, and on Monday morning,
itlie 18th instant-, they encountered General
Johnston’s troops, drawn up in line of
battle. From this it is very plain that Ge
neral Grant’s purpose, was to interrupt
communications between Pemberton and
Johnston, and defeat them in detail; or,
in -other words, he designed to repeat the
tactics which Lee employed so successfully
at Fredericksburg, a few weeks .ago. If the
statement in yesterday’s Bulletin, that
“ Johnston is supposed to have brought
but five thousand troops with him, ’' should
be true, General Grant will effect his pur
pose almost inevitably. But the Associated
Press despatch from Cincinnati, which we
print to-day, states, on the authority of
rebel papers, that forces from all sec
tions of the South are “ marching to
reinforce Johnston." We do not doubt
this statement- If. Johnston should he
promptly and heavily reinforced, General
Grant, instead of breaking the enemy’s
communications, would very soon find him
self “ between two fires.” Such a thing is
barely possible, and not at all probable.
General Grant is an officer who is famous
for the celerity and vigor of his movements.
The battle of Pittsburg Landing taught
him the incalculable value of a day in mili
tary operations, presuming that he'hadnot
learned the lesson from his text-books be
fore. He will not, if he can help it, allow
the rebel army to be reinforced by a single
regiment. Their reinforcement by rail is
out of the question, and the forces which
are marching to their aid will probably ar
rive too late to be engaged, and just in time
to be made prisoners. We regard it as
highly probable that the decisive battle for
tbe control of the Mississippi has already
taken place. When General Grant
evacuated Jackson, on Friday, the loth
instant, his troops were provided with but
eight days’ rations, and communication
with the base of supplies at Grand Gulf had
been abandoned as too hazardous. Our
latest reliable information from the field of
operations, at the present Writing, is to Mon
day morning last, when an engagement with
Johnston's corps was imminent. The situ
ation up to that time was very encouraging.
The two armies, perhaps nearly equal in
point of numbers, and each without commu
nication, with its base of supplies, seemed to
be marshalling for tbe conflict. The advan
tages, as we have shown, were greatly in
our favor, the rebel forces being virtually cut
in two. additional intelligence
will be awaited with eager anxiety. The
worst news that we could hear would
be the news that the rebel army had
wholly or in great 'part effected its escape.
The capture of Yicksburg on such terms
would be one of the costliest victories of the
war. But we have confidence that General
Grant will dictate better terms. In his
despatch .announcing the capture of Jack
son, he stated tjiat Johnston “retreated
north, evidently with tlie design of joining
the Yicksburg forces.” This would seem to
have indicated an expectation on the part of
General Grant that Pemberton was either
about to evacuate Yicksburg, ovhad already
done it, for the purpose of retreating to the
northeast. Fortunately, such had hot been
the case, at the latest accounts. The rebel
army had not then escaped, and the pro
spect seems to be, that unless greatly rein
forced, it must be either captured, or so
badly shattered and demoralized as to be
unfit for further service to the rebel cause.
In view of this prospect, It is the duty of all ma
gistrates and public functionaries, and especially of
the highest, [whose conspicuous position makes
them the silent diffusers of a constant educative in
fluence upon the public mind, to inculcate, by the
force of their high example, a sacred reverence
for the majesty of law, and a scrupulous
observance of its requirements.— New York World,
May 21.
This is very excellent advice on the part
of the World —now let it write an article in
favor of the conscription law, and retract
the invocation to blood and massacre con
tained in the following extract from its
columns:;
Tbeblood that already makes green the springing
grass on Virginia and Kentucky hillsides, Bpilled to
protect the Union against traitors, is but a drop of
that umic-h untljlow on Northern soil when the Ameri

serve. the. .Constitution against tyrants.”—W. Y.

BETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.”
. Washington, May 22, 1863.
In selecting military commanders, the
President has always been guided by a sin
cere and single-hearted desire to promote
■the success of the armies of the Republic.
Sometimes Ins warmest political, friends
have been temporarily set aside for good
and sufficient reasons'; at others, men wfio; 4
in past days, have opposed his individual
; politics,- sought for and" put for
ward. It would be a curious revelation /if
many of the eager critics of his policy could
see or hear the reasons which’actuate him
in his management of public, and particu
larly of/army matters. They would be con
founded, as well at the injustice of their own
suspicions as by his foresight and sagacity.
In a letter of mine,"written some months ago,
I referred to the dangers resulting from the
rivalries between military chiefs, as well
among some of those in as those partiallyjout
of[the service. This has'been a prime vexa
tion of the Executive, and either his great
good fortune or his great good temper has
thus far enabled him to surmount it. How
he sustained General McClellan and General
Burnside all the world knows, and how he
hesitated before dispensing with the one,
and accepting the resignation of the other,
is equally matter of familiar history. At this
, lpoment General Hooker, so far as I can
ascertain, enjoys the full confidence of the
whole Administration. Why should not
this fact impress itself upon the minds of
those who know, or ought to know, what
I have just stated ? While General Hooker
does his duty he will be sustained, and not a
moment longer. The cause is too s'acred to
permit the personal ambitipn of any man to
interfere with the unrelenting purpose Of die
Government to crush out the rebellion, and
he can best entitle himself to its confidence
by remembering that it is only by unselfish
devotion to the cause that he can-win un
fading laurels for himself, and lasting tri
umphs for the people. That Gen. Hooker
is, and has been, criticised in the journals,
.is only the fatb that all other military leaders
have been and will be subjected to to the
end of time; but is it not a little ungracious
on the part of men, not now in active ser
vice, to join in cabals; to mingle’with
doubtful and sympathizing politicians in the
great cities, and at dinner tables and clubs,
to spread every sort of injurious surmise
against him ? - I thought it a most dis
creditable exhibition that General McClel
lan, at the time he received the compliment
ary resolutions of the Councils of Washing
ton, some days ago, in the city of New
York, should have selected as his right
hand; man that Eitz John Porter who was
dismissed the American service by a board
composed of some of the purest, bravest,
and most distinguished officers of the army;
and what, except this; could be worse than
for other gentlemen who are still receiving
the pay of- the Government to engage in se
cret machinations General Hooker,
in the hope probably that one of them may
-be recalled to take his place? The
President has, in my opinion, no spe
cial military favorites. I have never
known a chief magistrate less swayed
by personal considerations. Surrounded
and overwhelmed with duties and respon
sibilities such as no ruler since the be
ginning of the world has been called upon
to bear and to endure, Re lias thus far over
come obstacles which at the commencement
of the war would have appalled the stoutest
heart and spread despondency among the
most ardent idolators of the Union-. Called
to his high office without much- ..experience'
in public affairs, the knowledge of men ho
gleaned in his battle in Western life has sup
ported him successfully throughout, and Will;
I believe, carry him triumphantly to-the
close. The people understand'this, and they
also understand and despise equally the
plots and counterplots of sympathising
politicians and of disappointed offi
cers of the army. They do not distrust
every act of the Executive, and daraand
reasons for that which may seem t©> them
harsh or mysterious. They know that in
such a crisis somebody must frequently
assume grave and- radical responsibilities ;
and they remember with gratitude, that if
ibis lmd not been done in many cases here
tofore, we should- have no Government to
boast of, and would now be called upon to
repel the rebel hordes from our now en
crimsoned borders. It is upon them and
upon the patriotic mon who follow a
patriotic, public opinion that the President
musrreiy. Without these, he would be as
helpless and as vacillating as tho enemies
of his countiy falsely assert that he is and
sincerely desire him to be. "

On the 9th trials were made to secure a more ac
curate range, and at 10 o’clock at night another
bombardment took place, which also continued for
an hour without receiving any response.
At three o’clock on the morning of the 10th, the
batteries were for the third time bombarded, which
was continued until o’clock, when the enemy
replied, and the firing became rapid on both aides.
The Essex was struck by shot, but not injured.
The Richmond, with a full broadside, Bilenced the
enemy’s guns.
None of our vessels were injured.
The correspondent of the New Orleans Era, who

Our gunboats have ascended the Red river from
Alexandria.
The steamer Price succeeded in breaking the rebel
raft loose, and it floated out of the way, while our

shelled the rebel battery at that point for two hours,
without taking it.
The accounts of the operations of Gen. Grant’s
army up to the 17th inst. do not differ materially
from the reports already published.
The impression is gaining ground that General
Grant is perfect master of the situation,
Warrenton is in our possession, and teams are
continually employed in hauling stores from that

Fortress Monroe, Va., May 21, 1863.
Three men were arrested laat night at'Norfolk,
and lodged in the jail, for attempting to smuggle
goodß through our lines. As I have before hinted,
there seems to be considerable traffic between the
natives of that neighborhood and their friends in
Richmond. Passes are procured at the provost’s
office to go into the country to see dying relatives, or
to haul provisions for a suffering family, -Their cart
is secretly laden with contraband goods, and by
making a long detour through the woods they are
able to reach a sequestered spot on the edge of Deep
oieelc. Here two boats awaited to convey them to
the farther shore, and in a short time $2,600 worth
of the most needful and useful articles in the world
would have found their way to Richmond. Oapt.
Iba, of the 173<1 Pennsylvania Regiment, suspecting
something of this nature to be transpiring, wenf with
three men to their outside picket station, called the
“entrenched 11068,” where, he found three men—
Ward Milison, with his cart, and M>ssrs. Bell and
Swinson with about $2,600 worth of dry goods and
fancy articles. This nelarious trade should be stop
ped. and I hope the military authorities will exert
all their energies to keep anything in the shape of
sustenance from the rebel capital. The prisoners
will be severely dealt with, ;
Steamer State of Maine arrived here to-day, on her
way to City Point, with one hundred and thirty-six
rebel officers and four hundred privates'on board.
Little or no news can be obtained from Richmond

F r of the Executive, • ex&cr;

■■ demagogue. from
Ohio is going out of notice with a significant rapidity
which will deprive him even of the poor consolation
- of having his case noted in history, and it is to. pre«
vent this, probably, that the World, News, and the
, Express are keeping up their frenzied whilst,
-some country newspaper comeß to thereacuewitha'
romance concerning the insanity of Mrs. Yallandig
hain. But, Btolidly as the public regard,the affair;
there is no doubt that our Democratic prints are
vastly exercised'in their minds about it, and feel
deeply chagrined at the failure of their recent indig-f
nation meeting'in thiH city to become contagious..
Had YnllaDdigham been conveyed through this State;
on his way to the fort, (and the two companies of
regulars appointed to escort him certainly were here
a few days ago !) Governor Seymour was prepared
torescue ” him by military force; and this same
precious Governor of ours does not scruple to avow
that be will oppose the entire 1 military strength of
the State to the arreßt of any New Yorker as Yal
landigham was arrested. And yet the said Seymour
prates about his intense eagerness for the preserva
tion of the Union, and his lack of all sympathy with’
the “peace” wing of the Democracy. He is a very:
weak man, however, a mere tool and mouthpiece
for worse men, and will hardly dare to commit any
overt act just yet..
THE CONSCRIPTION
will certainly commence in this State very soon; for
the Government blanks are expected to arrive here
from Washington on Monday, at latest, and then'
Marshal Nugent and his subordinates will.at oqce
.proceed -business of lt is the
general impression that all the recent palaver about
I the construction of the $3OO exemption clause has
simply as a “ feeler,” to test the tern-;
per of the pe~6sl®i that said clause will be put in
.. force with the resT'bf tJifi 1 Jaw ? though the Go
vernment may. adopt a plaii of its' Owil f or ar
ranging the “substitute” business with those c6fi
scripts who huy»tbemBelves off. I may as well add
that some pretty strong,demonstrations of public
disappiobatioh’are anticipated for fcthose who com
mute.on the $3OO planj and many who cannot think
of such a thing as becoming privatc sohliera, and yet
do 1 hot wish to take the risk of being hooted and
pelted by mobs, aTe endeavoring to buy lieutenants’
commissions, here and in Washington.. I still ad
here to my original belief, that the, enforcement of
- the conscription in New York, in any shape, or un
der any circumstances, will be attended with sefioatf
disturbances, if the Government does not take mea
sures in advance to' have a strong force of United
States troops in readiness fco prevention or sup- 1
. pressing riot. The city militia cannot be depended
on for such a contingency.

Sixty-ninth Annual Session of the
NI!W*SCHOOL PrESBYTBRTAW GENERAL ASSEM
BLY.—Second Day—Mokning Session.— The six
ty-ninth annual session of the New School Presby
; teiian General Assembly transacted, yesterday, the,
' hueinesß of the second day. The morning meeting
convened at nine o’clock. The meeting was called
.to order by the moderator, Prof. H. B. Smith. The
tenth chapter of St. John was read, and the twenty
eeventhhynm sung. < *
Dr. Mills, -secretary of the Board of Education, re
marked that the Assembly met on-historic ground; they
met in the first church erected under tho’ denomination
here. It was the place of meeting of many disii nguislied
general assemblies. The speaker was present as a mem
ber of the General Assembly of 1840, composed, of eighty
seven members, who met in the lecture room of
tui.3 church. Of these members he recognized
bur one other member now present, and that
was the venerable father before liim, the Rev. Dr. Cox.
Dr. Huntingdon made a few remarks concerning tho
progjee-s of the work of evangelization in Buffalo, W. Y.,
which he said was most satisfactory. Rev. Dr. Cox
said hecouli corroborate the. words of his brother from
Buflalo. He said that it was seventy-four years since
the General Assembly first met in this church. It was
then situated .in Market street. Our Government was
then foiming, ard it was regarded as a ri/iiculous as
sninptipn. General Washington was elected President of
the United States, but could not be inaugurated on the
4th of March. This was done, however, on the 30th
of April. The General Assembly met soon after,
and Dr. Rogers, the moderator, addressed a most
patriotic letter to General Washington. Thus
the two nationalities of Church and State were
reared together, and all was happy, harmonious, and
patriotic. Until the troubles of 1817, which succeeded in
bisecting the Presbyterian Church, nothing but union
ana truth was known, it should be so now, and the
speaker hoped that if any committee was to prepare an
expression of the feelings of the Church on the national
Question* he should he happy to let them have copies of
the letters of General Washington and Dr. Rogers as
exemplars in their report. The present condition of
afta\rs brought to his mind the antithesis of the prophet'
DameJ, where he says, ‘ * Jerusalem shall be bnitded up
m troublous times. ’* ' . .
The business nour having arrived, the minutes of the
previous meeting were read and.approved, r ;
On motion of Rev. Dr. Spear, it was ordered'that a
committee ofnine be appointed to draft a suitable mi
nnte expressing the feelings of this body on the present
state of our country. On motion; it was resolved-jchat
the Assembly proceed to the selection of a place for its
next annual meeting. /Dr. Cox advocated the selection
of Philadelphia. Western New York, Dayton, Ohio,
Milwaukee, Newark, N. J., St. Louis, Rochester, ef.
i-,-ana other plates were nominated, bat as tho roll of,
members was not in the house, and no vote could-be
taken, the consideration of the subject was laid on the
table for the present.
Consideration of the above-named subject was* re
sumed almost immediately, and the debate conitnued for
■ sometime. Dr. Cox wit* drew his nomination ofPhila
delphia, and the Assembly proceeded to vote upon the
selection of a place of meeting, out of the cities of Day
ton, St Louis, and Newark. The voice of the Assembly
was as follow's; City of Dayton, 181; St. Louis, 10; New-
Dayton having been selected, a committee of ar
rangements was appointed. The moderator read off the
names of the gentlemen appointed on the special com
mittees. Excuses and leaves of absence from service l on
the committees were heard and disposed of The synodi
cal reports were received and referred to the committees
appointed to examine them. Statistical reports and pul
pit narratives of the different presbyteries, were appro- ;
■priately referred to the standing committees.
