. V " TURE OF PORT HUDSON.
To Major General Hallcck,. Gencralin-Chief } Washing
ton, D.C.:
Headquarters Department, or the G-ttlf,
Port Hudson, July 10, 1863. —Sir : I have the honor
to inform you that with the post there fell into our
hands over 5,800 prisoners, including one major
general and one brigadier general; 20 pieces of heavy
artillery, 6 complete batteries numbering 31 pieces of
field artillery, a good supply o"f projectiles, 44,800
pounds of cannon powder, 5,000 stand of arms, and
15,000 rounds of small-arm ammunition, besides a
small amount of stores of various kinds.
We captured, also, two steamers, one of which is
very valuable. They will be of great service at this
time.
General, very respectfully your most obedient ser
vant, N. P. BANKS,
Major General Commanding.
THE EXPEDITION UP RED RIVER.
Washington, July 25.— The following despatch
was received at the Navy Department this morning:
Flag Ship Black Hawk, opp Vicksburg,
July 18, 1863.
Sir : I have thehonorto inform you that the ex
pedition I sentintotheßed River region proved very
successful 1 .
Ascending the Black and the Tensas rivers, run
ning parallel with the Mississippi, Lieutenant Com
manding Selfridge made the head of navigation,
.Tensas Hake and Bayou Macon, thirty miles above
Vicksburg, and within five or six miles of the Mis
sissippi'river.
The enemy were taken completely by surprise, not
expecting such a force in such a quarter. The rebels
that have ascended to that region will be obliged to
move further back from the river, if not go away
altogether.
Lieutenant. Commanding . Selfridge divided his.
forces on finding that the transports which had been
carrying stores to Walker’s army had escaped up
some of the narrow streams. He sent theManitou
and Rattler up the Little Red river, a small tribu
tary of the Black, and the Forest Rose and Petrel
up tlie Tensas. The night was dark and raining
very hard, and the Manitou succeeded in capturing
the rebel steamer Louisville, one of the largest and
perhaps the best steamer now in the Western
waters.' '
Up the Tensas, or one of its tributaries, the For
est Rose and Petrel captured the steamer Elmira,
loaded with stores, sugar, and rum for the rebel
army.
Finding that the steamers which.had conveyed.
General Walker's army had returned up the Wa
shita river, the expedition started up that river and
came suddenly upon, two rebel Steamers; but the
rebels set them on fire, and they were consumed so
rapidly that their names could riot be ascertained.
One steamer, loaded with ammunition, escaped
above the fort at Harrisonburg, which is :a very
strong work, and unassailable with wooden gun
boats. It is on. an elevation of over one hundred
feet high, which covers what water batteries of
heavy guns there are.
Lieutenant Commanding Selfridge was fortunate
enough, however, to hear of a large quantity of am
munition that had lately been hauled from Natchez,
and deposited at or near Trinity, nearly due west of
Natchez, and from whence stores of : provisions,
cattle, guns, and ammunition are transported.
He captured 15,000 rounds of smooth-bore ammu
nition, 10,000 rounds for Enfield rifles, and 224 rounds
of fixed ammunition forguns, a rifle 30-pounder Par
rott.guncairiage, 62 hogsheads of sugar, 10 puncheons
of rum, 9 barrels of flour, 50 barrels of salt; all be
longing to ttie Confederate Government.
.At the same time he heard of a large ammunition
train that had Btarted from Natchez for Trinity, and
was going in wagons in the road half way across.
He despatched a boat across to inform me of it, but
General Ransom, who had landed a few days before
at Natchez, hearing of it also, sent a detachment of
cavalry and captured the whole. Thus Walker’s
army is left almost without ammunition.
The officers and men have shown great energy on
this expedition, and- havemet with no mishaps.
They procured a good deal of information, by : which
future movements will be regulated. The people in
the whole of that section are very hostile to the Go
vernment—rank rebels. .
I have the honor to be, &c M .

Rear Admiral Commanding Mies. Squadron.
•Memphis, July 23,—A1l quiet at Helena. The
excitement which .always succeeds an attack has
subsided, as it iB well known that Price is in full re
treat towards Jaoksonport. The last.warning which
he received from our: forces at Helena convinced
him that to attempt to.take it, or to effect a crossing
at that point, was perfectly useless./-
' Our forces have been- hoyering ;about his rear for
fifteen miles out, and a number of deserters have
come in and' given themselves up. The houses all
along his'route are filled with his sick and wounded,
who are suffering terribly for want of medicine and
medical attention.
For the past two or three days the weather has
been exceedingly warm and oppressive.
The river is receding Blowly, but with a good boat
ing stage from Cairo to New Orleans,
Business is quite active on the levee, Government
forage arriving and departing for various points
along the river.
The Emerald has just arrived from below with
1,000 prisoners, who refuse to take the , parole, or
fight any longer for the Southern Confederacy.
They go North to-morrow, where they will take
the oath of allegiance to the United States Govern
ment. •
REBEL MOVEMENTS INTENNE3SEE,
.Memphis, July ■ 23.— Chaitner’s rebel forces, who
have held the country south of Memphis, are re
ported to be moving towards Grenada and Okolona.
A scout from Okolona yesterday reports that John
ston has fallen back to Chunky, river.
Bragg’s army is mostly at Chattanooga and at At-'
lanta. None have been Bent to General Johnston,
Atlanta being strongly fortified;
The'report that Pillow is in West Tennessee is
untrue. Small bands of guerillas are enforcing the
conscription, stealing horses, &e., but these arc all
the forces left to annoy the inhabitants. .
RICHMOND REPORTS FROM MISSISSIPPI
IRREPARABLE LOSSES.
Jackson, Mississippi, was surrendered to the Fede
ral tinder General Grant on the 17th instant.
The evacuation of Jackßon, Mississippi, left in
the hands af the enemy the rolling stock of the New
Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern; the Missis
sippi Central, and the Mississippi and Tennessee
Railroads, including over forty engines. What were
the authorities thinking of 1 The loss iB irreparable.
Nothing seems to go well in the Southwest.”
ELUNT’S VICTORY IN THE INDIAN TERRI-
Leavenworth, July 25. —On Thursday, the 16 th

Morgan near Steubenville, Olio, Moving
North.
Cincinnati* July 26. —Fourteen hundred more of
Morgan’s men arrived here last night, and will be
forwarded to Indianapolis to-day. Twenty-five hun
dred have arrived altogether.
The latest advices from Morgan report that he
was eight niileß from Steubenville* moving north.
[From the Wheeliritr Intelligencer, of Saturday. ] /
... Since Thursday'evening there has been the most
intense excitement in the city in consequence of the
near approach of John Morgan, the famous rebel
soldier. AU the military force at this place, consist
ing chiefly of new recruits, was at once armed and
properly disposed. The order of Gen. "Wheat, call
ing out the militia, was responded to yesterday
morning by a considerable portion of the able* bodied,
who. met at the court .house for inspection.
The bells of the city were rung, in order more
thoroughly to arouse the people. The fact that in-.
:formation had been received of the burning of a
bridge at Campbell’s Station, on the Central Ohio
Tailroad, and that Morgan was making for Seneca
ville, a little town Bituated a fewcmileß south of the
road in Guernsey county, tended to increase the ex
citement, and a general determination was manifesto
ed that the rebels should not cross the Ohio at this
point.
Both branches of the Legislature, as will be seen
by the proceedings elsewhere, adjourned and at once
formed themselves into an infantry-company and
reported for duty. About twelve o’clock informa
tion was received that the section of Carlin’s batte
ry and two companies of infantry had arrived safely
atCaptina, and was properly posted so as to give
John a warm reception should he attempt to cross
at that point.
■ LATER.
A despatch was received last evening, stating
that Morgan had taken the road to Cadiz, and
was pushing rapidly on towards, that point. He
was stealing horses and compelling citizens familiar
with the country to act as.guides for them.
•It was understood that Gen. Brookß, with a con
siderable force,* was coming; down from Pittsburg,
but if it shall appear that Morgandeaigns to oroßß
the river at or near Steubenville, General Brooks
will, of course, dispoße his command accordingly.

A Charge o t Treason Against Governor
* Seymour.
CFrom the Buffalo Express ]
The commissioned officers of the 66th Regiment
N. G. S. N. Y., residing in the Second Assembly
district of Niagara county,-have published an ad
diesfl to the citizens of that district, which contains
a statement of facts calculated to startle, not only
the community to whom it is addressed) but the
loyal people of the entire State. The narrative of
these officers may be briefly given : .
On receiving the general order issued by the Adju
tant General of this State OR the 19th of June, di
recting the organization of a regimeQt of the A New
York-National Guard in each Assembly district, the
officers of the G6th appointed a meeting, to be held at
Wilson, for the purpose of-taking the proper steps in'
execution of the order. Their district contained four
fully-organized companies of the 66th, but the colo
nel of that existing regiment resided elsewhere. In
euch case, according to. the terms of the order, a
colonel for the new district organization was to be
appointedand thesp officers expected, as a matter
of course, to be consulted in the selection of the
same. Before their meeting waß held, however, they
received Information that one William McCrea, of
Cambria, a man unknown to them, without military
experience, and previously unconnected with the
militia, had been appointed colonel.
NcceEßarily, the appointment was unsatisfactory.
They met and found themselves unanimously desi
rous of securing the appointment of Col. George L,
Moote, of Porter. Their feelings. were communi
cated to Mr. McCrea, and he expressed-himself
favorably disposed to an accommodation, of the
matter, which should place Colonel Moote at the
bead of the regiment, himself taking a lower com
mission. A meeting was appointed to arrange this
settlement, when, suddenly, Mr. McCrea’s dispo
sition underwent a change; he repudiated his own
proposition, refused'to attend any'conterence, and
declared his resolution to proceed ia the arbitrary
exercise of the authority conferred ,on him by the
Governor. _ - •
And now comes the startling development to
which these difficulties led. In conversation with
some of the officers, Mr. McCrea gave an explana
tion of his conduct, and this explanation is reported
in their address, as below. It is the statement of
Captain Seahlenon, and in introducing it the offi
cers say: “ This statement was reduced to writing ,
very soon after the conversation, and- Lieut, Pettit
declares that Mr. McCrea told him the same in sub-"
stance-in fact, nearly word for word.” Those who
know these gentlemen, place implicit reliance-in the
truth of the statement, to. Mjjuch they are ready at
any time to testify, which is as follows:.
“ I saw Col. McCrea., July 7, 1863, He said to me
aboutnoon, 1 1 did not want the office of colonel in
this district; but as it was pressed on me by men
that I knew to.be right for our Governor, I ac
cepted. I will say to you, but 'confidentially, the
object of this is to get this militia force into our
hands—have proper men appointed—and, if the G
overnor wishes to resist the national draft, ; which he
intends to do, as he thinks it unconstitutional, he
can do so safely • for he then will have proper men
in office over this National Guard, bo as to control
it to his wish, resist the draft, and the people cannot
help themselves, as they will have no military that
they can control to their wish. , I have this fro>m
headquarters, from gentlemen that saw the Go
vernor on this subject. It is not only my own view
of this matter, but the Governor’s and our party’s.’ ”
The gentlemen who bring this statement of alartn
ing 'facts before the public are eleven, in. number, and
by name aB follows:
Captain James M. Newman, Captain H. Each
baugh, Captain J. W. Eggleston, Captain S. V.
.Seahlenon, lieutenant ■William O. Pettit, lieute
nant Alvin Wilson, Lieutenant J. Vincent, Lieute
nant H. Outwater, -Lieutenant B. Miller, Lieute
nant William Pool, Quartermaster J. M. Mc-
Chesney../
They say in their address: “A considerable
portion of our number are Democrats ,of long
standing,” and express the “belief,” which is evi
dently, so far as the first clause is concerned, a
dubious hope rather than a “belief,” that “Mr.
McCiea grossly misrepresents'Governor Seymour
and the great majority of the Democratic party.” .
Now, what, it becomes every loyal citizen to ask,
are we to think of this matter? If the testimony
here brought came to us unsupported by any other
indications or evidences of a monstrous design, in
the reorganization of the State militia, to make it
theinstrument of treason to the/national Govern
ment—a subservient power in the; hands of a rebel
lious State governor, to be used in resisting
the execution of a national law—then wc
might justly refuse to' consider it warrant
sufficient, for' the harboring of so dreadful a sus
picion. But it does unsupported. There
has been more - than one proceeding in . con
nection. with Governor Seymour’s sudden under
taking to reorganize the State militia,of a strange and
suspicious character. Who could find, for instance,
a loyal explanation .of the appointment, of John. A .
Green, of Syracuse— the notorious opponent of; the
war and sympathizer with the rebellion—to a briga
dier-generalship? and why do we hear it intimated
from all directions that the minor appointments have
been made of the same outrageous character?
The action of Governor Seymour in relation to
the riot of last week in New York is not calculated
to discredit the testimony of his Niagara county
colonel.

A CLASH OP AUTHORITY—GENERAL CAHB7 AND
THE CITY JUDGE.
[From ibe Times of Saturday.]
On Wednesday one of Judge McCunn’s writs of
habeas corpus was served on Brigadier General
Oanby, who waß directed-to produce the body of>a
rioter arrested by, the military authorities. -. The
General consulted a well-known Democratic lawyer
as to what he should do, and was advised to pay no
attention !to the writ. Yesterday the Judge issued
an attachment against the General for contempt,
and placed it in the hands of Sheriff Lynch to serve.
The Sheriff also took counsel as to his duty in the
premises, and web advised not to serve the attach
ment. "What steps the Judge will take next is not
known. It is due to the attorney, who- applied for
the writ against General- Canby, to state that as
soon as be ascertained that the person is custody of
the military authorities was one of the parties en
- gaged in the late riots he refused to have anything
fuither to do,w,ith it. -
In this connection it may be. statedthat it was
rumored yesterday that the Commissioners of Cha
rities ana Correction, would instruct the warden of
the City Prison, where most of the. rioters are con
fined, not to obey any more writs of habeas corpus
issuing from Judge McCunn’soffice. If this is done,
it will effectually block the game of the 1 city judge.
.The Draft North- and-South.
Jeff Davis has issued a proclamation calling out
the entire male population of the South between the
ages of eighteen and forty-five. This is ike kind of
draft in the South, Here at the North the fighting
population is divded into two classes, and the second
class is not to respond until the first is exhausted.
At the South every able-bodied citizen Is compelled
to shoulder his musket, and take the field, and no
opportunity is left for escape. Here, many persons
who are able-bodied perfectly- competent for.
military duty are exempted by the terms of our con-''
scription lawj while at the South ho one is exempt
from the sweeping conscription which depends upon
Jeff Davis’ will alons. - Eet those who complain
here at the North notice the difference, and cease
their unjußt complaints* to this jußt and necessary
law. —Lafayette (Ind.) July 22.
Concerning Eyes and Oculists.
. Of the five senses, that which we.call seeing is the
most important and most valued. In proportion as
this sense fails us, we are reduced to helplessness.
If entirely destitute of sight, how alow would ,be our
progress in knowledge, and how limited our sphere
of action and usefulness. Endowed with it. the uni
verse becomes a new creation, clothed with beauty
and diversified by that infinite variety which never
fails, to attract the mind and heart.
For several months past this has been a practical
subject to us. :An .inflamed condition of the eyelids
communicating itself to the pupil rendered the dis
charge of daily duties not only painful, but danger-'
ous. , Attributing it to the effect .of a cold,‘we en
dured it through the spring, with the hope;fhat with
the return of warm, weather it would entirely dis
appear. But in this we were doomed to disappoint
ment., Summer returned, but not our wonted sight.
What might have been the result either of further
neglect or of incompetent treatment, we cannot say.
Stating our case to a friend, he assured us that a
similar one in his own family; had recently been
treated with entire success by Dr. Von Etßenberg, of
this city. Satisfying ourselves by more particular
inquiries that the doctor is no empiric, but & scien
tific oculißt and aurist, we concluded to seek the
benefits of his treatment, which we have now reason
to - acknowledge as very great. Though but a few
weu>ks uhdeT hiß care, the appearance of our eyes
has totally changed. The pupil is now full and
clear, and the lids are entirely free from inflamma
tion. The doctor says that the optic nerve has been
weakened, and the retina assumed a chronic Inflam
matory state, affecting more or less all the other tis
sueB,and threatening,-if neglected, to end in Amaurosis
OpthalmitiS) we believe, is the term which oculists
apply to eyes affected as were ours. Having ob
tained the much-desired relief, we take great plea
sure in acknowledging our indebtedness to the talent
of Dr. Von Eisenberg, and of calling to it the atten
tion of others who may, be suffering from a similar
or even worse condition of their eyes. It is said
that Providence provides an antidote for every
bane. It is certain that the eye is, in these times;
subject to severer trials than formerly.- Let us be
thankful, then, that rapidly as increase the tenden
cies which destroy the organ of vision, the progress
of science keeps pace-with these tendencies, If not

NEW RIFLED CANNON.—A new rifled cannon,
named the " Feriiss Gun,” has just been tested at
AVest Point. It is constructed so as .to admit the
uee of very, heavy charges of powder ; and the'expe
riments that were made showed the initial velocity
of its shot to be two thousand two hundred feet per
second, being the highest rate ever attained, by
cannon shot. The highest; velocity claimedfor
the Whitworth (English) gun, hitherto; the cham
pion, was two thousand feet,,and it denied.by
some English writers that that was abtually reached.
The length of range of the Ferris gun has not yet

SIR. ROEBUCK WITHDRAWS HIS MOTION TO RECOG-
NIZE THE SOUTH.
. In the House of Commons, ;cn the evening of the
J3th, Mr. Boebuck rose and said r Sir, I rise for the
purpose of moving that the order be read for the pur
pose of its being discharged.- [Hear, hear.) !I
brought forward that motion' unfoer the feeling that
I'was about to invite the House to take a step
which would have the "effect of putting an.endto
the horrible carnage, now going on iii America, and
Which would also Berve the commercial interests of
Grentßritain.Forso doing I have incurred much
"Ymmt say that my present determination, has not
been influenced thereby. :THe noble lord at the
head of the Government hid said that the con-'
timianoe. of-this debate was an impediment in hia
way to the good government of the country. [Hear,
hear.] I have paid respect to the noble lord’s
wishes, and I have likewise induced my honorable
friend (Mr. Lindsay) to forego his feelings in the
.matter,. ;
When the noble lord sat down on Friday last, my
Hon. friend and myself were perfectly, or, at least,
very nearly, 'satisfied with what been stated ;•
and if nothing more had'been said, there the matter
could have ended ; but official arrogance is a plant
of- portentously rapid, |g_rowth—[loud. laughter]—
arid the Under Secretary Tor Foreign Affairs thought
fit to tiring a charge against my honorable friend, to
which he believed his honor and his feelings called
for an'anßwer. But, sir, a little cool reflection has
tauglit him that, insinuations of the kind coming
from Buch quarter may not be regarded—[loud, cries
of oh, oh, and hear, hear.-] 1
It has been stated that the time has not yet come
]for the consideration of the question, and I have
•yielded to the suggestion; -But let the noble lord
bear in mind thabthere are two .dangers before him
which he will {have to. meet, and which England
to meet $ and one is the possibility of the
reconstruction of the Union upon a Southern
basisVand the other iB the acknowledgment of the
Confederate South by the Emperor of the French
alone.- • .
There are two great dangers for England—(cries of
no, ho, and hear, hear]. The noble lord will, I have
no doubt, with his long experience, fully justify the
confidence of the people in hia consideration of these
two great-questions. I leave them, sir, without hesi
tation in hia bands, though I roust aay my opinions
; are entirely against- the withdrawal of them from
public consideration at the present time._ England
and England’s interest demand the decision of this
House, and it is only under a : feeling of great respect
for the noble lordfthat‘l now withdraw this motion
—[hear, hear]'
I Mr. Lindsay followed with an account of hia in
terview with the French Emperor, and endeavored
to vindicate himself- from the charge of being “an
amateur diplomatist.”'
Viscount Palmerston followed, reviewed the per
sonal question in regard to the volunteer mission of
Roebuck and Lindsay as ambassadors In. behalf of
the rebels, which he pronounced irregular, .and that
the British Government preferred to get its commu
nications from foreign Powers through its accredited
ministers and diplomatic agents.
The O’Donoghue protested against Roebuck’s bit
ter hostility to the North. He believed that'Roe
buck land his friends were actuated by the belief that
the destruction of the Union would be of great ad
vantage to England. He should consider it the
greatest calamity to the world.;
The London Times , editorially, shows the inexpe
diency of Roebuck’s motion', contending that the pre
sent time is inopportune for interference. -
4 An important debate took place in the House of
Lordß on Polish affairs. Lords Russell and Derby
both agreed that it was not a case for. armed inter
vention, and England could do nothing further than
submit proposals, which she had done.' Lord Derby
deprecated oven diplomatic interference.
This debate was considered by the London jour
nals* as decisive of the policy which England will
pursue.
Earl Russell, in response to amemonal from Live>
pool, for an amendment to. the Foreign Enlistment
act, replies that the act is effectual for all reasonable
and calls for no amendment.
- In the House of Lords, on the 14th inst., the Earl
of Ourlie asked if any official report had been re- ;
ceived of the firing upon the steamer Margaret and
Jesße, a British vessel,-by a Federal off.
the Bahamas. He understood that Mr. Seward had
promised an inquiry, and ample reparationif the
case was established j but he believed that some
thing more was necessary—namely, that some steps
should be takento prevent these outrages and punish'
those who were guilty of them, for they were direct
violations of theinstructions of the Federal Govern
ment. ~ He wißhed also to know if it was ttue that,
the Federal cruisers had determined to take'nomore
prizes, but to sink all vessels running the blockade
of Charleston V ’ .

Personal,
—The Pittsburg Gazette says, referring to General
Alexander Hays, of that city, wounded at Gettys
burg, we have the testimony of an officer who re
cently arrived in this city, and who was an eye-wit
ness.of the daring bravery of General Hays. He
Btateß that the General had'fifteen mounted orderlies
when the battle opened, and at the close only two
remain ed.«*X)ne of these lost his horse, and the other
(hie standard-bearer) had his flag-staff cut in two.
A t one time his pickets (the Garibaldi Guards), who
were posted near a barn half a mile from the front,*
were repulsed by the rebel sharpshooters, and re
treated in disorder. The General, observing this,
dashed over the plain, followed by his standard
bearer, a reckless, devil-may-care Irishman. The
men were promptly rallied and put in posi
tion again, retaking the barn. This was a
most gallant exploit. It was performed in
full view of both lines, and in fair range of the
. enemy’s batteries. Our men looked on with amaze
ment, and with breathless suspense, expecting every
moment to see the'intrepid General fall by the mur
derous aim of the sharpshooters, or be blown to
pieces by the enemy’s batteries. The rebels them
selves seemed to have been taken by surprise, as not
a gun was opened until the General fulfilled Mb
mission and got within a short distance of our
lines, when the batteries opened simultaneously,
and sent a perfect shower of shot and shell after
him. Just as he entered his lines, and as one of
our officers advanced to congratulate him on his
gallantry, a Bhell struck a' tree between them,
glanced off, and killed several of-his men who had
been attracted from behind the defences by curioaity.;
All accounts agree in representing the above ex
ploit as one of the most hazardous and thrilling
which the war has yet furnished, and the wonder is
that the hero survived to wear the laurels which he
so bravely won. A correspondent of the Buffalo
Cornier pays even stronger testimony to the noble
bearing of Gen. Hays. . v
General Asboth is described by a correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial: “ Our little com
pany was very hospitably entertained by General
Asboth, whom we found at his headquarters. The
General is a Hungarian, and was adjutant general
for Kossuth during the troubles in Hungary ; he
waß.afterwardß an engineer in the East, and had a
most responsible position in arranging the details
of some new woikßin New York. He is a tall, fine
appearing man, remarkably straight in. figure, his
hair tinged with gray, wears a heavy moustache,
and possesses one of the moßt open, generous of
souls, looking mildly out of eyes of blue. He is
simple in bis tastes, and inclines greatly to pets, a
number of which he keeps about him, among
others being a huge mastiffof St. Bernard, a deer,
several raccoons, ducks, canary.birdß, and several
of the finest horseß in the country; one of the latter,
valued at six hundred dollars, was presented to
him by the officers of the post very recently. He is
also passionately fond of flowers, and has trans
planted to his garden some of the best of the plants
and exotics found upon the sites of condemned and
abandoned homes in Memphis. These are in full
bloom now, and well worth beholding in their new
location. "With all his bachelor habits, and Ms pen
chant for flowers, and dogs, and horses,' General
Asboth has never neglected a duty, in fact, he is
proverbial for his attention to duty upon all occa
sions. His only relaxations from labor are Ms mo
ments with his horses and other pets. He is prompt
in attending to the wants of his men, and exacting
in requiring strict obedience and full discipline from
his soldiers and. subordinate officers, yet he cannot
be called harsh or brutal. The elements composing
his nature could not descend to these.” .
Mr. Vallandigham, at Niagara, is shrewdly re
ported by a correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette ,
whose statements appear to be assured: “ The mar-
e c CKAs&XiQys,£<?^li'3W.hi|jroy k nd_s_togQiallftnd
Hvill but come and take a look, which they do not.
He has not yet made enough of political capital by
tlieir exhibition to set up a candidacy for town con
stable. He recounts, with much unction and ex*
tieme detail, the manner in which he received them.
He has words of hate for the G-overnment, the Ad
ministration, and all in power, but not one word 'of
•hope and encouragement for his country. Heuttera
lanathemaß and cursings against our generals and
soldiers, but not one curse, not one anathema,
against Jeff Davis and the rebel horde who are try
ing to break down and utterly destroy the best go
vernment on earth. He talks continually, and with
malicious earnestness, about ‘ crushing the despots
at Washington,’ but says nothing about crushing
the rebellion. •
VHiB programme, as I gather from his utterances,
is something like this: The war will be ended when -
the Democratic party come into power, which will
be in 1665; and not until then. The independence of
the Southern Confederacy will then be acknow-
ledged, with the understanding that a National
Convention shall immediately be called'for purposes
of ‘reconstruction.’ At that Convention new- gua
rantees shall be given to the South, by constitu
tional amendments—such as the acknowledgment of
the nationality of slavery; the right of slaveholders
to carry and hold their slaves wherever they please,
under the protection of the Federal Government;
the restoration of slavery where it has been
e<l by fee emancipation proclamation; a general
amnesty and restoration to rights of all rebels—
leaders and all ; in fact, all that the slaveholders
ever claimed in their most arrogant moments, * and
more, too,’ is to be readily and cordially conceded,
with such a disposition of the Abolitionists as the
mercy of the rebels may suggest. This is about the
programme which is now being prepared to govern
the future action of the great Democratic party;
and, depend upon it, it will have the support of that
time-honored party; there iB no mistake about
this.”
: Major General Oglesby has been forced, by con
tinued ill health, springing from wounds received at
Corinth, to resign. In his address to his soldiers,
apprising them of his intention, he Bays: “You
may well say this war cannot last much longer.
You, who have witnessed traitors with haughty
pretensions crouch at your feet for mercy; the man
sions of the domineering rich turned into boarding
houses, and the chivalry turned landlord and lady,
for the entertainment of Yankee officers. Those
who have spurned, beg for favors at your hands;
and, swearing a new allegiance for protection to
property, meanly violate it to serve a rebel. It ia
fit and proper that such a people, who foolishly
wage such a war, should at last meet, face to face,
the black race of the South, bend to the rod of the
Blaves they have bo long outraged, and tremble be-
fore men proclaimed by them to have no rights. A
just retribution, one they cannot avoid; the-hu
miliation their own bold treason has brought upon
them 5 a resort that needs no justification in the
sight ef God or man, for it is right.”
Col. O. H. Moore, who commanded a battalion
two hundred strong, at Tebb’s Bend, on the Green
river, during Morgan’s raid, and successfully resisted
Morgan’s whole force, was appropriately named for
a brigadier generalship. The enemy acknowledged
* a loss of seventy-three killed and over two hundred
wounded, Moore’s but six' killed and twenty-three
wounded. The Michigan soldiers fought with a des
peration unsurpassed. In answer to Morgan’s de
mand for surrender, Moore replied: "Presentmy
compliments to Gen. Morgan, and say to him that
this being the Fpurth of July, I cannot entertain the
proposition,”
The Louisville Democrat says: "The Nash
ville (Brown county) Union, corrects an error in its
statement that the citizens of Nashville, Indiana,
fired an anvil in honor of the surrender of Vicks
’ burg and the victory at Gettysburg. Instead, it was.
done by the order of eight Union ladies, six of
whom have hußbands in the army. While it is an
honor to the loyal women of that place, it is a burn-:
ring disgrace to the men. The ladies are: .Mrs.
Hogueland, Mrs. Browning, Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs.
Price, Mrs. Howard, Mrs.' Galvin, Mrs. Jackson,,
and Mrs. Dew.”
' —Sometime since the Ohio - Statesman published a-,
poem entitled " The Democratic Banner,” the editor,
George W. Manypenny, bestowing many commen
dations upon it, and adding, " We are obliged to our
: lady correspondent, ‘ Helen,’' for her patriotic effu
sion.” The “Helen” turned out to be a masculine,
and the poem an acrostic, the first lettere-of the
lines forming the following beautiful tribute to. the
victimized editor: " George W. Manypenny is a
great jackass—a traitor to boot.”
The recent action of the War Department, in
placing General AYool and other officers upon the
retired list; leaves vacant one major generalship
and one brigadier generalship 'in the regular army.
It is said, upon good authority, that the ge
neralship will be conferred upon General Grant, in
recegnition or his services in Tennessee and Missis
! sippi.
Prentice says : " While passing along the street
we heard the word ‘ traitor ’ hissed at us through
clenched teeth. We turned in the- direction of the
bias, and, to oiir surprise, found ourselves upon the
outskirts of a very pretty woman.” -

THREE GENTS.
The Indian Expedition.
A correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer describes
the appearance of a novel and very destructive ene
my on the march of General Sibley:
The second day after leaving Gamp McLaren, at
Lac Traverse, a new enemy encountered us, and in
a most formidable shape. We were literally beset
with grasshoppers. They came upon us in a perfect
storm, almost blinding our vision and actually im
peding our march. To say that millions of these
pests were hoppiDg about us would be to speak in
very moderate terms. They rained down oqqb from
above; they sprang upon us from beneath; they
struck hard against our faces as pebbles, and they
drifted upon us in myriads from every side. The
prairieß swarm with these devouring insects. Rut
the personal inconvenience experienced from them is
notbiDg in comparison to the havoc they are making
with the little forage saved to us from the joint ef
forts at destruction of the heat and drought. If every
thing calculated to impede our progress is let loose
upon'our track.in this way, I fear the measure of
our grief will be filled up to overflowing.
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATIONS.—Numbers of
the youDg men of Jersey City, liable to draft under
the first call, are forming mutual protective assocfX*
tione. It is taken for granted that at least one-sixth
of those enrol]ed will be drawn: the ratio cannot
possibly be much above or below these figures;
twenty-four members constitute one of these asso
ciations ; each individual pledges $5O each, which
makes a total of $1,200; in the event of four of the
twenty-four being drafted three hundred dollars thus
raised could be paid, either for exemption, a substi
tute, or as a bounty in case they should dete?
mine to go themselves. The stipulation is made,
however, that should the names of more than four
be drawn, all the members must contribute as. much
more money, in addition to the $5O, as will secure
the exemption of those drafted.
MYSTERIOUS HiNT.—The Richmond Dispatch
lets fall a very remarkable expression, in vindicating
Lee’s policy in invading Pennsylvania. The Dis
patch says:
“We believe when- the secret history of this war
shall have been published, the conduct of the gene
ral will be amply justified by circumstances of which
we are now, ana must for a generation, remain com
pletely ignorant.”
The Providence Journal suggests with some plau
sibility that these circumstances, whioh are not to
be made public until the present generation is off
the stage, are the invitations and promises of con
cealed traitorß at the North, wfio proposed to co
operate with Lee.

The New York Evening Post of to-d&y says:
Wall street is moderately active, but the move
ment to realize which is usual at the close of the
week has some tendency to depress the prices of a
few speculative stocks. The general market is,
however, very firm, and a general anticipation pre
vails that next week we shall have a considerable
advance in prices.
Governments are firm, without -much activity.
Coupon sixes of 1681 are wanted at coupon
fives of 1874 at and currency certificates at
The last-named securities are rising in popular fa
vor, and are advancing in price, realizing as they
do almost 7 per cent, as an investment, at the cur
rent rates of this morning.
Missouri sixes are somewhat stronger, in conse
quence of the great successes of the national army
in the Westland the consequent opening of the
Mississippi.
Canton haß advanced to 29%, and is inconsidera
ble demand, partly in consequence of the improve
ment in the value of the property under the new
management, and partly because the stock being
low priced, presents attractions to a multitude of
speculators of small means.
The loan market is easy at 5@6 per cent. The :
speculative spirit is scarcely so strong as usual this
morning, and consequently the surplus of capital is
more obvious.
Resides this prominent eause of the growing ease
in money we find a second and equally important
cause in the confidence of capitalists in. a number of
stocks on which,, few weeks ago, they refused to
lend at all, but are now quite willing to accept as
collaterals.
Having thuß in the money market an abundance
of capital seeking borrowers, and the most facile
readiness on the part of the owners to lend it, loans
are now becoming as accessible and as cheap as
they have for a long time been reported. Com
mercial'paper is scarce, and passes freely at 5@6 per
cent.

PANDERING T >j THE MOB.—In a recent
speech, Hon. D. S. Dickinson said: “ A short time
since a mob held possession ol a great city, doing
deeds savages would be ashamed of, the opposing of
just such dootrines as have been preached in juetifii
cation of this rebellion. Ho. warned men of wealth
that if they pandered to great and little rebellions*
the ruffians would ride in bodies to their banks ana
counting-houses, and help.themselves to what they
want. He warned the merchants, farmers, and me-,
chanics, that this spirit of rebellion, which politi
cians are seeking to handle with furred mittens, will
fake their goods, their produce and wares, &pd com
pel them to pay for their support, unless they put it.
down at once. He should do himßelf and. the cause.
injustice if he did not say that he felt fcis State to
be disgraced, when high officers of the State, from,
ihe Chief Executive to a high judicial functionary,
talk to a mob in mild and deprecatosy language, in
stead of putting them down with a strong hand. 1 *
WHEN FREEDMEN SHOULD BE RE-CON-.
SIGNED TO SLAVERY.—On Monday last two
gentlemen, residents of this city, had an interview,
on business with the ’ Secretary of War. The
venation turning upon the Emancipation Procla
mation, and the &ances that there might sopn be
overtures from some ©f the insurrectionary States,
to be readmitted into the TJnion, with slavery, Mr.
Stanton, with emphasis and action, suited to the
words, remarked i ‘‘When the negro blood which
was Bhed before Port Hudson and at Milliken'a
Bend shall return from the^groundto circulate in
. the veinß of living .men* then, but never till then,
hy consent or action of-mine, shall one freedman
