How Tiiky ro inBisib. If a man speaks
or write an8"19 our Confederate cause, lie
In branded tind expelled na a traitor er pub
lie enemy. Mobil flegiiter.
This Is rebel doctrine and no one can say
that It in not right, if tho rebels believe In
the justice of secession nud rebellion. But
slow ciin the defenders of Vullunditflinm in
tho Xorth justify themselves according to
thia doctrine. Vallandighaiii proclaims to
the people in public speeches in Ohio that
tbia war to suppress the rebellion is "a wiek
d, cruel, and unnecessary war;" "a war not
being waged for the preservation of the
Union ;" "a war for the purpose of crushing
out liberty and erecting a despotism ;" "a
war for tho freedom of the blacks and the
enslavement of the whites ;" statins that "if
the Admiiiistrutiou had so wished the war
could have been honorably terminated months
go ;" charging that "the Government of
the United States were about to appoint mil
itary marshals in every district to restrain
the people of their liberties, to deprive them
of their rights nnd priviliges ;" and when
charged with this incipient treason, docs not
deny the charge, but justifies it. Yet his
friends in the North, even here in this place,
ay that he did nothing wrong. Now, if
Vallandigham is right, then the North is in
the wrong. Cau nny true patriot or good
democrat believe such stuff.
57 Thus fur, tho leaders of the South
have gained nothing by the war they inau
gurated save a stay of execution. They
know that their doom is fixed, and they are
only fighting for delay, and many of the
knowing ones among them are occupied in
converting, at a ruinous sacrifice, their assets
into gold or exchango on Europe. General
Sterling Price sent his personal effects, and
why t and so have Floyd, Slidel, and a host
of the contractors of the so-called Confede
racy, secured their available means. Millions
worth of exchange gold, and government
cotton are quietly escaping out of the limits
of "Secessia"' by the only safe route left open
by the neglect of the administration by
way of Matamoras.
t3T It is well said that "to establish our
nationality on a firm and permanent basis
we can have no dealings with rebels except
as with criminals who have no civil rights i
as with men to whom nothing can be con
ceded, and with whom consequently all idea
of compromise is out of the question." We
have nothing to ask, the rebels nothing to
give, but submission. We want no peace,
we will have no peace with traitors.
The pcoplo aro not yet ready to follow
the lead of the nllies of traitors. The gene
ral Assembly of Ohio gave a truer expression
to the purpose of the nation, in declaring
that "we will have no armistice, that wo can
fight as long as rebels and traitors can ; that
the war shall go on until war is restored."
7" A Novel Pauadk. In Camden, N.
J., on Friday afternoon, twenty-eight sol
diers, under command of Capt. Louis Loeb,
all of whom had lost a leg in buttle, paraded
through the Btreets on crutches. Others
accompanied them who had lost un arm and
were otherwise wounded. The parade was
attended with music, and formed a truly
novel and affecting scene.
f2f General Pemberton is a nativo of the
eity of Philadelphia, and by birth of the
Bocicty of Friends. He dwterU. the flag of
his country to join the Rebellion. Since lie
4ias been beaten by General Grant, the rebels
charge him with treachery to their flag.
Doomed to infamy as a traitor to his coun
try, now ho is branded as false to the wicked
caufee he has espoused.
t3f The election campaign is already
epened nnd tho candidates for offico aro
already in the field asserting their right to
nerve the dear people with all tho fervor and
patriotism that characterises tho soldier, the
only difference being that some uncharitable
people suspect that candidates have a more
eelfibh object in view.
On-
AsTi-BtAVEKY Sentiment is New
leans. Among tho speakers at a lato meet
ing of the Union Association of New Orleans
was one' Judge Hiestand, who thus express
ed his gratification" at the progress of the
anti-slavery sentiment :
"What changes have taken place in one
year '. I have been a slaveholder since I was
bio to own a negro, and have never enter
tained conscientious scruple iu the matter
and do not now. Threo years since, in La
fayette square, I told tho residents of this
city that the first attempt to defy the power
of the national government would result iu
the downfall of slavery. To-night I rejoico
to inform you that from the Itio Grande to
the Pt. Johns, and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, slavery is doomed."
F"Wekdki. PniMPS. This eloquent
and gifted man, whoso extreme views on
tho subject of Slavery oftoft induces him to
utter sentiments neither Justifiable or patri
otic, taya many good things In his addresses.
In a recent speech t New York, ho says:
"Let mo make tho General's, and I don't
care who make the proclamations. Only let
me put at the head of the advancing columns
of the Union certain men that I could name,
and tho Cabinet at Washington may shut
themselves up and go to sleep with Rip Van
Winkle till 1872. Lnughtor. Fori know
men, one blast of whoso bugle hom were
worth a million of men only put them in
the heart of tho Rebellion where our armies
ought to bo. I believe in Hooker, and I
believe in his success. Hut when 'tis dono,
what of it? Gratify tho North startle
Kurope. So far good. But what is Vir
ginia il'sho is ours Barrenness exhausted
by two years war neither army able to get
n nnnml nf mintonnnce from her acres. It
wilt take two vears to make her a selfsns-
tiiinimr Statu. What is Richmond ? Y'ou
might ns well take Syracuse. You might as
well fling a hundred thousand men upon
Worcester. Jeff. Davis can pack up twice
us much ns belongs to him in a carpet-bag
and enrrv it awav. . fLaUtthter.1 The town
is ft hospital. The yellow flag might be put
there over cverv house, and we have got to
sustain rather than be sustained when tho
ITnitod States flat' floats Bbove it. Reside 1
do not liko to fight on the rim of the wheel
nnd let tho enemy beat tho hub. Laughter
I am no anaconda fancier. Laughter. I
would bo ut tho hub. I would put men,
whose names you know too well, among the
black masses of the Carolinas and Mississip
pi, and fight outward, grinding tho rebel
lion to powder. That would come leave
Virginia to full into our hands. AVhy noth
ing keeps her from gravitating to us but tho
army. The slave system was dead there
practically before 1801. Nothing but Con
federate forces keeps her southern. And
now sho never can be southern. To hurt
the rebellion by bringing the negro into the
war, does not mean troops ; it means locali
ties. When wo bring the negroes into the
war we fight on his home, in the Gulf States
where he ought to fight. The heart of the
rebellion is where the negro is. It is there
where our nrmy should stand, if victorious
the bottom of the tub is out. And you
know whose name the slave cherishes like
household words in every hovel, and at
whose bidding he will rise to the stars and
stripes. Will the slaves fight ? Well, if
any man asks you tell him no. Will he
work 1 If any man asks you tell him no.
But if he asks you whether the negro will
fight, tell him yes. Applause. If he asks
you whether the negro will work tell him
yes worn even lor patriotism witnout wages
as ho has worked at Fortress Monroe, the'
United States promising him $10 a month,
keening the first $'A for nny stray contra
bands that might join him. taking the second
$4 for clothing the contraband himself, and
the other : which Sum keens. Laughter.
AVell, lie fight ? Ask lligginson. He says
in one of his private letters that when he
carried that Regiment to St. Mary's one
soldier crot seven buckshot in the back of
his neck, and unlike some white volunteers,
afraid of the hospital, ho got a comrade to
dir them out with a jack-knife, uud went
on to tho next battle. Laughter. Another
wounded in tho left arm, afraid of the hos
pital, kept it secret .48 hours, until the
swelling and pain were too great to be
borne, and nt last ho owned up sick. A
third, injured in the leer, bore it in silence
for the sake of liirlitiiiji one more skirmish,
and then, when they sent niin on picket
duty nnd he could not stand, owned up and
went to tno hospital. Applause. vo you
think those men will fight I Another, with
most ludicrous carelessness, went into the
skirmish forward a docn rods, fired, fell ,
buck, forward again, but it was noticed
that he moved very awkwardly. AVhen the
skirmish was over, it was discovered that
in order to increase hi scanty rations, he
hud picked up a live goose, when he entered
tho fight, and held it all the time between
his legs. Great laughter. 1 I had the pleasure
the other day of fpcuking to Geu. Butler
for the first time in my lite, thanking him
for New-Orleans, nnd I asked him his
experience with the negro. AVell, (said he,
when McClcllun was n tho Peninsula, I
felt thut 1 was very scant of men, nnd' the
army at Corinth might be down upon me
ut auy day, and I said to the Government,
Send me men if you expect me to keep
New-Orleans ; and they answered, AVe can't
spare you a man, but you must hold New
Orleans. I sent back word, Then I will
go to Africa. Ho sent to the officers of the
Old New-Orleans Colored Regiments und
said to them, "AVill you fight for us !"
"AYillingly," they answered. "Then give
tue a regiment." In ten diiys they guve him
a thousand men, and brought him their
commissions as lino officers. Said lie, "Would
you like to be colonel or major f" "No, Sir;
give us white men." "Then," said tho Major
General, "give me another regiment," then
another, and, in ninety days, tour rcgimcivts
and a battery; and then noticing a mtlatto
captain, worth half a million, speaking five
languages, welcoming him to a banquet at
his own house of seved courses sewed on
silver, he thought such u man had too much
interest in New Orleans to defend it ns a
Captain, and offered him a Major's commis
sion. Tho Captain answered : "No matter
where I fight ; I only wish to spend what I
have, and light as long as I can, if only my
boy may stand in tho street equal to a white
boy when the wiu is over." Applause. J
'AVe khall never succeed until wo slough
off everything that believes in the past, and

there is but one purpose that is, to save
the Union on the basis of Liberty. Cheer, j

Haines Bi.cff, Yazoo Rivbk, May SO. J
To Hon. Gideon Wellet:
On the morning of the 15th, we came over
to Yazoo river, "to bo ready to co-operate
with General Grant, leaving two of our iron
clads at Red river, one at Grand Gulf, one
nt Carthage, three at AVurrenlon, nnd two
in tho Yazoo, which left mo a small force
still I disposed of them to the best advantage.
On the 18th, at noon, the firinc heard in
the rear of Vicksburg assured me that Gen.
Grant was aproaching the city.
The cannonading kept up lunousiy lor
sonic time, when by the aid of a glass 1 dis
cerned a company of our artillery advancing
taking a position and driving ttio rebels
before them.
I immediately said that Gen. Sherman's
Division hud come into tho left of Snyder s
Bluff, aud that the rebels at that place had
been cut off from tho forces of the city.
I despatched the Dekalb, Lieut. Comman
der AYalker, tho Choctaw, Lieut. Comman
der Ramsey, nnd the Romo, Petrel, Forest
nnd Rose, all under oommnnd of Lieutenant
Commander Breeze, up the Yazoo to open
communication in that way with Grant nnd
Sherman, who succeeded so far and so well
that in three hours he received letters from
Gens. Grunt and Sherman nnd Steele, inform
ing me of their vast success, nnd asking me
mo to send up provisions, which was done
at once.
In the meantime Lieutenant-Commander
AValker,in tho DeKalb, pushed onto Haine's
Bluff, which the enemy commenced evueua
tiiior the tlav before, and a party remained
in hopes of taking uwuy or destroying the
largo amount of ammunition on hand.
When they saw the gunboats they ran and
lelt cvervtlniiir m uood order guin, ion
tents and enuiiw'e of all kinds which fell
into our hands.
As soon as the capture of Haines' Bluff
and fourteen forts was reported to me, 1
shoved up the irunbouts from below to A'icki
burg to lire ut tho Hill batteries, which lire
we kept up tor two or three hours.
At midnight they moved up to the town
and opened on it for about an hour, and
continued at intervals during tho night to
nnnov tue garrison.
On the li)th 1 placed six mortars in posi
tion with orders to lire night and day us
rapidly as they could.
The' works at Haines' Bluff were very for
midable. Ther are 14 of the heaviest kind
of mounted 8 and 10 inch and 7 inch rilled
guns, with ammuuhiou enough for a long
siege.
As the gun carriages luerlrt again fall into
the hands of the enemy 1 hrtd them burnt,
blew up a magazine and destroyed the works
generally.
I ulsoburnt up the encampments, which
were permanently nnd remarkably well con
structed, looking as if the rebels intended to
stay lor some time. The works and en
campments covered many acres of ground,
und the forlillcutioius und'rille pits proper of
the Humes Duill extend both a mile and a
quarter.
iMieli net work of defences 1 never saw.
Tho rebels were a year iu constructing them,
and all were rendered useless in an hour.
As soon ns I got through with the destruc
tion of the magazines nnd other works, 1
started Commander Walker up the Yazoo
with u sufficient force to drstroy all the ene
my s property in thut direction, with orders
to proceed as far us Vu.oo City. There the
rebels have a uavv vard und store houses.
In the meantime General Grant has closely
invested VieUsburg, and has possession of
the best commanding points. In a very
short time a general assault will N imtde,
when he holies to announce that A'ieksburg
has fallen, after u series of the most brilliant
successes that ever attended au urivv.
There has never been a ewe during the
war when the rebels Iwc been so ticcesfilly
beaten ut nil points, and the patience unci
endurance shown by our army and navy
for so uianv months is about to be reward
ed.
It is a mere question of a few ho.Vrs. nnd
then, with the exception of Port Hudson,
which will lollow A'ieksburg, the Mississippi
will bo open its entire length.
(Signed) J). U. POUTER.
Acting Rear Admiral Commanding
Genera' Pemberton burned his bridge and
returned to Vicksburg with only three can
non out of sixty that ho had taken out,
building four tovidues over the Big Black.
Gen. Grant arrived before the town on the
evening of the 18th, and now holds it close
ly invested. He had opened ft line of sup
plies via Chickasaw Bayou, having cut the
town off from Haines' Bluff, which is aband
oned by tho enemy nnd which Gon. Grant
will oceiiov.
There was sharp fiirhtinir through tho
dnv vestrrdnv. Gen. Steele now holds the
upper bluff and tho enemy's upper water
battery, and gets water from the Missis
sippi. Gen. Sherman's corps lost yesterday five
hundred killed nnd wounded.
Gen. M'Pherson, who holds the centre,
lost little as did Gun, McClcornand, who
holds tho left,
The gunboats kept the enemy alert during
the night, and probably the town will be
curried to-day. There are from fifteen to
twenty thousand men in it.

General Pemberton sent a flag of truce to
Graut offering to surrender Vicksburg, if tho

refused-,
Tho rebels fought with coolness and des

Cincinnati. May 25. The Commercial's
special, dated Memphis, May 2Jd, says :
As soon ns it was Known mat jacason
was taken, a movement was made on Haines'
and Chickasuw Bluffs, the Unionist being
under the command of General Sherman.
The Rebels were thoroughly intrenched, and
determined to dispute the occupation of the
lilufls to tho lust. Gen. Hlierman made the
nltack in the most brilliant manner. Alter
a severe light, with heavy loss, ho occupied
the field, enptunng euuu prisoners, iuu
heavy guns, 1000 animals, camp ammunition
nnd large quantities of corn and stores.
The loss to tho Rebels in killed and wound
ed is awful. The prisoners were paroled
and sent across the Yuzoo river. This does
not agree with Com. Porter's despatch, who
represents that tho Rebels evacuated Haines'
Bluff.
On Sunday Gen. Grant directed un attack
to be niado upon the upper butteries nt
Vicksburg, nnd simultaneously the gunboats
commenced bombarding the water butteries
ut that place.
It is stuted by gentleman who stood on
the De Soto, at u point immediately opposite
Vicksburg, that on Tuesday General Grant
took the Rebel guns on the' hill and turned
them on the Rebels who were at the water
batteries. Paroled prisoners state that Gen.
Graut had po?es$ion of the entire line of
fortilicutions iurrounding A'ieksburg, anil
thut the Rebel officers fold them it was im
possible, since the capture of Ifa'ticV Bluff,
for them to escape.
It is stated that Gen. Johnston hassturted
to A'ieksburg with 19.000 men, but hud been
cut off' nnd driven buck,
AN'hen the Empress nirived at Milikcn's
Bend, on AYcdnesday, the firing at A'ieks
burg and up tlio Yuzoo had entirely ceased,
which leaves no doubt of the occupation of
the entire A'ieksburg fortifications, es well as
all the surrounding points, by General
Grant.
General Frank P. Blair had sent down to
the Point for quartermasters' stores, stating
that his Division rested on Chickasaw
Bluffs.
The Twelfth Missouri came out of the en
gagement with only 84 fighting men.

The Union army, under General Grant, has
won another glorious victory ! A furious
battle, lasting nearly live h:tirs,has resulted
in tho defeat of tlieeneiny r-t aH points, with
a loss of from 2000 to 000' killed nnd
wounded. Three completed batteries of
heavy rilled cannon, besides several single,

to immortalize it. Besides this it. captur
ed a largo portion of the prisonous, small
arms, &c. .
Petwetn three Vnd four o'clock, Gctitrnl
Ostcrhnus1 and McArthur's divisions, which
were milee awity when the battle began,
came up and finished the work. Tho enemy
were in retreat soon after, nnd these divi
sions pursued thein till nine o'clock, nnd nro
now enenmped nt Edwards' Station, fivo
milei bevond the bn-Ulo-tfrmind. AVe -had
no cavalry, so that pursuit was out oi me
question. From prisoners wo learn that
Pemberton commanded lu person, urout
dissatisfaction existed.
The Rebels chunrcd Pemberton with sell

The same paper has ft despatch dated

diately on entering Jackson, on Thursday,
Gen. Grant despatched orderlies to MeCler
nand's Corps, which were coining up In the
rear, to countermarch and pet on the main
road to A'ieksburg and Clinton. General
McPhcrson's Corps was put in motion nnd
in tho same direction, with Gen. LogaVs in
advance, and reached this point at four
o'clock.
Intercepted despatches from Pemberton
ordered tho Rebel force to fall back to the
entrenchments nt Vicksburg, when hard
pressed. This will no doubt be done.
Tho battle nt .Jnrkson was short but
spirited. Gen. Crockee's division had the
advance. But two brigades were under fire.
Tho Forty-third Illinois, Eighteenth AVis
consin, Eightieth Ohio, Tenth Missouri,
Fourth Maine, Twenty-fourth Missouri nnd
Fifth and Seventeenth Iown composed them
No Illinois or AVisconsin commissioned offi
cers were injured.
Our loss in killed will not be far from 70 ;
the wounded mav number 200, though 1
could obtain but 170 names. General Sher

Tlio Comiiti rriaP-i ppecial account, dated
Iluttlefiold of Raker's Creek, Ulth inst., says
that tho Federal army under General Grant
has won another glorious victory.
A furious battle, lasting nearly live hours,
has resulted in t lie dotVnt of the enemy at nil
points, with a loss of three tliomand killed
and wounded. We captured three complete
butteries nnd two thousand prisoners, be
sides a large quantity of small arms and
camp equipage. Our success is signal und
complete.
Early on the morning of the ICth, General
Mcl'lcrnnmVs Corps was put in motion, and
Hovey's Division advanced across the givu
field ut ill'; foot of Champion llili nt II
o'clock.
The hill was covered with timber rmd
flunked on both sides with ravines and gul
lies, nnd in many places covered with au
almost impenetrable growth 'f scrubby
bushes, The rebels opened with n heavy
tire lrom lour pound
sharpshooters in the woods. Here the bat- i
tie raged terribly from 11 o'clock -till 3 r. M.
Hovey's Division carried the bright gnl- ,
hint style, making u dash on the first buttery j
und capturing it. '
The rebel dead lay thickly strewn iu the j
vicinity of the guns. The gun carriages und ,
cussions were broken or overturned, while i
knnpsaeks, blankets, small arms and other '
debris attested the fierceness of the struggle ;
for the ground. j
At this juncture, the rebels being reinfor- j
ced, Hovey was slowly driven buck, but u i

Gen. Graut won a great and uwmeuteous
victory over the rebels under Gen l'e ment
ion on the Jackson and Vicksburg ruilpoatl,
ut Raker's creek on the 10th iust.
Gen. l'embeiton had a most formidable
position on the crest of a wooded hill on
which the road passes lougitudiuully. He
had about 25,000 men.
The buttle began at 11 o'clock A. m., and
was gained at 4 o'clock r. i. Its brunt was
borne by Gen. Hovey's division and Me
Clernaud's corps, und by Logan's, und
Cwxrlier's of Mcl'hernon's.
Gen. Hovey attacked the hill and held
the greater part of it till 2 r. m., when hav
ing lost 1,000 iiH.n Uo was succeeded by
Roomer's and Holmes' brigade of Crochcr's
division, bv which the conflict ended in
that purt of tho Held.
Gen. Boomer lost 500 men.
Gen Logan operated on the light aud cut
off the enemy's direct retreat, bo that he was
compelled to escape by his right flank
through the woods.
Geu. Logan, lost four hundred killed and
wounded ; wo took about ten thousand
prisoners.
On tho 17th, ttva'ncing to tho Big Blnek,

inio our nanus, aim an immense quantity oi
small arms and camp equipage. Our suc
cess is signal ond complete. Nothing mars
the intense satisfaction of olliccrs and men
but the heavy sacrifice ol life by which it
was won.
Early this morning General McClernund's
Corps was put iu motion. General Hovey's
Division on the main road from Jackson to
Vicksburg, but the balance of the corps was
a few miles southward, on the parallel road,
General Mcl-Mierson's Corps followed Hovey's
Division closely. At nine o'clock General
Hovey discovered the enemy in front on
Champion Hill, to tho left of the road, near
Raker's Creek, apparently iu force. Skir
mishers wc.ru thrown out uud the division
advanced cautiously and slowly, to give
General McPherson's advance division, under
Gen. Logan, time to come within support
ing distance. General Hovey's division
Htltanced across the open field to the foot of
Champion Hill, in line of buttle, ut eleven
o'clock, and commenced the battle.
The hill itself is covered with timber, and
is but the abrupt terminus of the bigli ridge
running north und south, flanked on both
sides with deep ravines and gullies, in many
places covered with an almost impenetrable
growth ot Bcruiiby wtiitc oaK ittf lies, i tie
Rebels appeared to be deficient in artillery
throughout the battle, but opened with a
rather heavy tire from a four-gun battery of
rifled 8-pou'ndcrs, planted about four hun
dred yards back from the brow of the hill.
The woods on both sides of the road lead
ing up the hill and winding back on the
ridge a mile or more, were filled with sharp
shooters, supported by infautry. Here the
battle began in earnest, a our men entered
the edge of the timber, and it raged terribly
from eleven o'clock till between tluee and
four.
General A. P. norcy's division carried
tho heights in gallant style, and making a
dash on tho first battery, captured it. The
R-ebels hiy thick in the vicinity of tho guns,
and tlieir horses were more than half killed.
Gun carriages and caissons, broken nnd
o-vcrturnod, with knapsacks, blankets, small
arms and other debris, attested the struggle
for the ground. The colors of the Thirty,
first Alabama Regiment were captured there
At this juncture Mitchell's Ohio h'attery was
opened, eighty yurtH trom the brow of the
lull. The Rebel made a dah for it, and
nothing but the fleetness of the horses pre
vented its capture.
Captain Mitchell was wousdecT, afirT i
believed to have fallen into the enemy'
hands. At this juncture the Rebels appear
ed to receive reinforcements of fresh troops
on the Hill. General Hovey was slowly
driven back, but a brigade- from General
Quimby was ordered to his support, and
the ground was speedily re occupied by
as, and the Rebels were fiually repulsed.
At tlie rwuenccmcnt of the engagement,
Gen. Logan' Divisiou marched pat the
brow of tho bill, hhI, forming in line of bat
tle on the right of Honey, advanced in gal
lant ityle, kweeping everything before them
to the edgo of the woods in front of General
Lo"an. The battle was of the moat despe
rate character ImaL'iuablo. The rattle of
musketry was Inceanant from the first mo
ment of the engagement, and a continuum
and deadly roar, iu which the report were
o blundief that a tingle discharge was rarely
heard. Not a tnan flinched, or a single line
warned. Two batterk pturc4 by
the edge of the woods. In front of General j
J'r;;u!i the battle was of the most desperate j
-l'irtr imaginable. The rattle of musket-
ry v. irt rn,:es,snt una continuous, ill wlneli
tiio r'T'CT'ti were so blended that a single
discharge could rarely be. heard.
General Logan captured two Ir.itteries und
