G, MARCH 24.
GEN. FRANKLIN VI ND IC A
TED.
It will be remembered that Mr. Ray
mond, of the New York Times, soon after
the battle of Fredericksburg, criticised
pretty severely the conduct of General
Franklin, in that engagement. In Fri
day's Times a long letter appeared, de
fending Gen. Franklin from these charges,
which will be found on our outside this
morning. The Times thus alludes to the
letter and retracts the former charges :
"We publish in another column a statement of
the conduct of Gen. Franklin at the battle of
Fredericksburg, in reply to an impeachment of it
contained in a letter from the editor of the Timis,
written at Washington on the 24th of January.—
In that .letter the impression was given, as our
correspondent states, that Gen. Burnside intended
his main attack to be made by our left wing, un
der Gon. Franklin, and that the battle was lost by
Gen. Franklin's failure to make that attack, with
the force and vigor contemplated by his orders,
and which were essential to success.
It is due to Gen. Franklin, as well as to the
public, to state that we have seen the orders.' re
ports and other documents referred to in the ar
ticle which we publish this morning, and that
they sustain fully and completely the statements
made by our correspondent in that article. It
seems to us clear, after examining these papers
that Gen.. Franklin not only performed all the
service enjoined upon him in his orders, but that
he did more than was contemplated by them in
pushing the attack upon the enemy in his front.
It is to be presumed that the Government does
not consider his conduct in that affair obnoxious
to censure, or it would have given him a Court of
Inquiry; and if this is the case, he ought to be
relieved from any implied censure and placed in
a position where the country can again have the
benefit of his unquestioned ability in the prosecu
tien of the war."
Without desiring to interfere with our
correspondent Democrat's discussion with
the Chronicle relative to Copperheads,
we can not refrain from desiring our con
temporary to not shirk the main point in
controversy. Its first statement was that
" there are Copperheads," in this neigh
borhood, who have their secret meetings
to plot treason against the Government.
The Chronicle will oblige us and the pub.
Ho by telling us whom those midnight
conspirators are, instead of writing a col.
umn of pointless twaddle, dealing in gen.
eralities and meaning nothing. Our
neighbor will pardon Ili it cur rhetoric is
not so smooth fle our correspondent's;
bat when it furnishes the following gene.
ralities to smother up former specific
charges we me inclined to designate it by
the expressive, although not elegant desig
nation of twaddle. The following extract
from the Chronicle's article, - yesterday, is
a fair specimen of the whole:
"If 'ADemocrar will persist in the belief or
assertion that Copperheads are synonomous with
Democrats, we cannot help iL It is, to say the
least, a most unfortunate conclusion, and toithma,
80 far as we can gather, any warrant whatever.—
We consider such an opinion as grossly insulting
to that party, the great mass of which is eminently
sound and lova', and engaged infighting rebellion
with as much zeal and efficiency as any other; but
it would be folly to ignore the fact that the Dem
ocratic party, as well, perhaps, as other parties,
numbers many traitors in its ranks."
Well, as our sagacious cotemporary re
marks, "perhaps" there are several trai
tors scattere t a - .lumt- in- Ai . j.s..rus of
. -••• tfyi b at our
_pread• tocufind out who ese are that have their
nightly meetings in this city to plot treason
against the government. We trust that
our amiable and mild spoken neighbor
will perceive that this question is, at pres
ent "what's the matter."
Movements of hanks' Army and
Navy---The Expedition from
New Orleans Moved off.
There can no longer be any doubt that
the movements of the Federal commander
in Louisiana against Port Hudson have
commenced.
Gentlemen who lett New Orleans on
Friday, March lath, inform us that the
last steamer from New York brought out
orders to General Banks to make the
movement without delay, and active oper
ations were at once commenced. General
Weitzel has been reinforced until his com
mend numbers from eight to ten thousand
men, and from the position he occupied it
is supposed he will attempt to make a
diversion in the rear of his position. The
main force under General Banks is mov
ing by river, on transports, and numbers
from seventeen to twenty thousand.
The gentlemen who gave us this infor
mation regard the movement as having
commenced in earnest, and make up their
opinions from personal observation.
The attack will probably be made by
the combined land and naval forces of the
enemy, Farragut refused to attack the
batteries with his fleet unless supported
by a land force, declaring it would be a
useless sacrifice to do so. The transport
fleet, therefore, accompanied his fleet of
war and mortar vessels.
The Mississippian contains the latest
Confederate intelligence from New Or
leans, furnished by a gentleman who came
direct from that city.
He says the Federal vessel Brooklyn
came up to the city badly riddled. It is
supposed the damage was inflicted by Con•
federate war vessels.
Ten of the pilots in the federal block
ading squadron were confined in the Cus
tom House for alleged treachery in per
mitting two Confederate steamers to pass
the blockade and procure coal from two
schooners inside the Yankee lines.
General Haileek on the 'unish•
ment of Traitors.
A letter from General Halleck to Gen
eral Rosecrans, just published, urges
that as far as possible, our forces in
Tennessee should be quartered and sub
sisted upon the enemy, and directing that
all persons within our lines, who, preten
ding to be neutral, yet carry information,
give aid and comfort to the enemy,
be punished with the utmost vigor the
circumstances may show. Halleck says
that our treatment hitherto of this class,
as well as of the openly disloyal, has
been entirely too lenient, and it is abso
lutely a duty we owe the loyal that hence
forth every man guilty of sympathy with
the rebels should be held to the conse
quences of his acts.
