GEN. GBATTT'S CALENDEK
From the beginning of his march from Milli
ken's Bond to Carthage, down to the boor
when his victorious divisions crowned the
heights above Vicksburg, General GraDt has
done what all other of our generals have omit
ed to do. lie has controlled his operations ac
cording to the approved Napoleonic maxims
of war. lie moved with 6ecrecy ; he advan
ced rapidly ; he marched in commanding force;
he covered his own line of operation perfectly;
he brute up the communications of the ene
my ; hiving possession of the nuin line of
supplies . to the enemy, be held it firmly; he
compelled bis enemy to divide his forces ; and
he pursued and beat them in detail. The re
suits are victory, glorious and priceless. Al
ter a series of admirably concealed wove,
dents, Geu. Grant landed on the Mississippi
side on April 30th. On May 1st his army de
feated Bowea at Port Gibson, the rebels los
ing 1,500 men and 5 pieces of artillery. Be
tween, that day and the 11th he advanced to
and took, successively, Willow Springs, Rocky
Springs, Cayuga and Cbrystal Springs, and
compelled the evacuation ol Grand Gulf. On
the 12th Gen. M'Fherson fought and won the
battle at Rjyiuontl, inflicting a further loss of
800 on the rebels. Advancing to Jackson on
tho 14th, Geu. Grant there defeated Joseph E
Jobnston, one of the best soldiers of Rebel
dom, took the Capital of Mississippi, burned
large amounts of rebel supplies, destroyed the
railroad bridges, killed and wounded 400 more
of the enemy, captured 17 additional guns,
and sent Johnston and bis men flying towards
the north. Turning bis back on Jackson, Grant
advanc 1 on the road to Vicksburg, all the
time keeping possession ot the railroad track.
On the 16th he met Pemberton at Baker's
Cref kj about IS miles from Vicksburg, and af
ter a most obstinate and bloody battle, be cut
Fern barton's army ia two, took 29 pieces of
artillery and 4,0U0 prisoners, and sent Lovell'a
brigade flying to the .South, j. Pursuing Pem
berton, who had brought out the whole Vicks
burg force with him, Grant brought him to
bay on the 17th at the great bridge over the
B'g Black river, about 10 miles from the city,
taking 2,600 more prisoner, and 17 more pie
ces of artillery. On the 18th he marched close
up to and invested Vicksburg itself, carried
the rifle-pits to the north of the city, cut off
the formidable batteries at llaines' Bluff anil"
opened np a new line of supplies for himself
through the Chickasaw bayou into the Fuzoo.
Next day, the 19th, Gen. Steele carried the
enemy's upper water batteries, enabling Gen.
Grant to rest his right wing on the Mississip
pi river, where the great stream is overlook
ed by the Tarscas Walnut Hills, just outside
of Vicksbbrg. '
Since then the siege has continued uninter
rupted; and Gen. Grant-has succeeded iu
capturing every rebel redoubt in the vicini
ty of Vicksburg ; extending his lett wing to
the river ; capturing their water batteries a
bove and below theiown; and thus leaving
the enemy only tleir interior lri of defences.
The fail ot Vicksburg is all that is waiting to
make this campaign of Gen. Grant's one of the
most brilliant achievements in the ancals of
the great Americau rebellion.
AEE COPPERHEADS IBAIT0RS1
Mr. W7 A. Porte, of Greene county, Penn
sylvania, was in Philadelphia a few days since,
when he was solicited by Charles Iogersoll, the
President of the '-Central Democratic Club,"
to appear sat the Club House and address
the rabble which aurally constitute the audi
ence at that resort. - Mr.' Porter has been and
still is, a Democrat but that son of tories :
and tory himself, Ingersoll, supposed that he
was of tho traitor stripe of Democrats. Ac
cordingly, when Mr. Porter appeared at the
Club'House.he very much astonished the cop
perheads by declaring that be was a war Dem
ocrat that he was convinced it was the duty
of every true man to support the administia
tion in its efforts to pnt down rebellion, and
that all who oppose those efforts. were alike
traitors with those in arms. Such a speech
was not looked for by Ingersoll. The officers
of the club were durabounded with the noble
sentiments thus bravely expressed. The rab
ble, the poor deluded mass, who are made
the cats paw of the traitors who control the
clnb, began to" bellow with7 "rage,", declaring
that they were all copperheads, and demand
ing that Mr. Porter be ejected from the room.
Indeed, it was with difficulty that Mr. Porter
escaped with his life, after, having thus de
clared himself in favor of sustaining the Gov
ernment in the presence of an organization
whose object is to contribute to its overthrow.
We repeat the question, 4rt Copperheads
Traitors? Let this incident answer. Tele
graph. ,'
- A detachment of mounted infantry were
sent out from Murfreesboro on May 26th,
which succeeded in dispersing Breckinridge's
re he 1 .cavalry near JtfcMinnville ; destroying
their camp, capturing 9 prioners,55 good
horses, and 30 bead of beef cattle.
. A reconnoissance was ruadg from Newborn,
C. on May 22d, which captured 200 rebels
wiih-n 7 miles of Kinston. Nearly all tbe rchl
troops had gone to Virginia.
"FKEED0M OF SPEECH."
One'DaaiEL.TtTTLB, of Bucyrns, Crawford
county, Dhio,- lately posted a placard in tbe
following words : ;' -
"Resistance to tyrants is patriotism ! The
minions of Lincoln and Tod have invaded our
soil, to drag from their, homes six hundred
freemen ot Crawford county. To arms, ye
men of Crawford! Have a bullet ready for
tbe dastards who order one drafted man to
leave his home and county against his will."
This is the kind of stuff which politicians of
the copperhead stripe are trying to entrench
among the constitutional immunities of free
speech. Tuttle uses a little plainer and broad
er style than tbe more artful and accomplish
ed masters of his school, such as Gov. Sey
mour or Voorhees ; but the import is tbe same ;
and e know that the country is full of such
men as he, who haye neither heart nor brains
sufficient to raise them above the low range
of mere partisans, and who will get themselves
and fellow dupes into serious trouble if they
persist in following their leaders to the length
of putting themselves in conflict with the gov
ernment.. For the benefit of thoughtless men
whose party madness might drive them to tbe
commission of acts which wonld involve them
in difficulty, we subjoin the 25th section of
the act of Congress for enrolling and calling
out the rational forces :
And be it further enacted, That if any person
shall resist any draft of men enrolled under
this act into the service of tbe United States,
or shall counsel or aid any person to resist
any such draft, or shall assault or obstruct any
officer in making such draft, or in the perfor
mance of any service in relation thereto, or
shall counsel any person to assault or obstruct
any such officer, or shall counsel any drafted
men not to appear at the place of rendezvous,
or wilfully dissuade them Irons the perform
ance of military duty as required by, law, such
person shall be subject to summary arrest by
the provost marshal, and shall be forthwith
delivered to the civil authorities, and upon
conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not
exceeding five hundred dollars, or by impris
onment not exceeding two years, or by both
of said punishments. '
The provisions of this section will be rigor
ously enforced by the provost marshals of thej
several districts and their deputies, who have
forces under their command fully adequate to
meet any exigency that may arise; and men
who are inclined to try their hands at playing
the part of traitors, will find that it is a very
different thing from the old play of party pol
ities'. Gazette. ..--
THE SIEGE OF VICKSBUBG.
Last week we announced the investment of
Vicksburg by Gen. Grant, who has taken all
the outer rebel works driving them into
their inner line of defence. On Friday the
22d, in an assault upon tbe rebel works, onr
troops under Gen. Ilovey were repulsed at
one place ; the hifl beiug so steep that it was
accessary to scale it with Ladders. Tbe reb
els rolled shells down at our men, which ex
ploded among them, .killing and wounding
many. At last accounts, however, tbe siege
was progressing satisfactorily. The , rebels
are entirely surrounded, Grants right and
left wings resting upon the river. Grants
positiop may be summed up thns : step by
step be has driven tbe rebels into their inte
rior entrenchments, turning tho others against
them, and the reduction of Vicksburg is only
a matter of time. Some stories are arioat that
Johnson will fall on Grant's rear and defeat
him ; but the War Department has assurances
that Grant was abundantly able to keep up the
investment of the town, and repel any attack
upon tbe rear of his army. About 4,500 pris
oners taken by Grant have reached Memphis.
Later. The latest from Vicksburg is, that
our forces had made three assaults but were
repulsed, and that it was now decided upon
to rednce the place by a regular seige. The
fortifications in the rear are much more form
idable than was anticipated, and are net of re
cent construction showing that the rebels an
ticipated an attack from that qunrter at some
time. Our outer line is within one hundred
yards of the rebel works, and our-sharpshoot-ers
prevent the rebels from working their
gnns. Grant has taken 8,400 prisoners.
Johnson is near Jackson with 1-3,000 men, but
is short of provisions and ammunition. No se
rious attack is apprehended in our rear.
THE VALLANDIGHAM CASE. . .
The following is an extract from a private
letter from an officer of high rank in the De
partment of the Ohio, which gives the reasons
for fiurnside's arrest of Vallandigham :
"1 think you are wrong about Vallandigham.
His offence was essentially a military one, in
this aspect, that it demoralized the army, pre
vented recruiting, encouraged desertion, in
cited men to resist tbe arrest of deserters, and
tended to make trouble about the increase of
the army by conscription, by inciting resist
ance to the execution of that law. These,
mind you, are not problematical results of his
course, but actual. Specific cases of all of
them, except the last, are continually occur
ring, invariably among men who call them
selves Democrats and swear by Vallandigham.
The only remedy was by -sadden and short
stoppage. - This could not possibly be effected
by tbe civil law. His offence is hardly known
to civil law, and there would have been no
end of trouble in getting hint indicted. Then
he wonld have been simply bound to stand his
trial at some future day, and would have gone
on talking bis treason and sedition. . And tbe
bad effects before mentioned would have gone
on growing in power and influence, and might
have got too big to stop.
"Moreover, special cases of ill-doing, resul
ting from and directly in accordance with his
teachings, have constantly to be attended to.
They cannot be overlooked. Should we pun
ish them and let him go on inciting the com
mission of just such acts J abusing tbe courts
that try them, and bringing their authority in
to disrepute t
"Ton have no idea of the ainoont of open
and bold disloyalty not simply disloyalty by
the Republican standard, but by that of any
honest , man existing in Ohio, Iudiana and
Illinois, among the Vallandigham party. It
most be stopped and put down note not six
months bence and military tribunals are tbe
only ones that can dOit. - It must be put
down, if it: should take a temporary military
despotism out ben. 10 do it. It is that, or the
loss of .the cause. The course of these men
prolongs tbe war and costs lives by thousands,
and I tell you either they or "the government
must go down, and that speedily." -

v DEOT3TCIATI0S OF V A LL AND IGHAM- -We
notice without the least surprise, that
the journals which have been opposing the
Government, the organs of the tory wing of
tho Democratic party, are becoming very vio
lent in their denunciations of the manner in
which the taitor Vallandigham has been dis
posed of. But while these sheets are thus
made 4o serve the purpose of bringing the
Government to reproach,' it is cheering that
the people of localities which were once deem"
ed pregnant with traitors, but which have been
purified and elevated by the promulgation of
sound patrotic doctrines,shon1d throngh their
municipal representatives endorse the'act of
the Government in reference to Vallandigham,
as one demanded to vindicate its authority.
In the first branch of the City Councils of Bal
timore, tbe arrest, trial, conviction and sen
tence ot Vallandigham are fully . endorsed.
Tbe resolutions passed by that body are em
phatic, and should be adopted by every corpo
rations the country. We submit then to our
readers for perusal: : . .,
Whereas, Clement L. Vallandigham, ofthe
State of Ohio, has long been endeavoring in
bis public speeches to create dissension in our
country, poison the public mind, and give aid
and comfort to those who are in rebellion a
gainst tbe Federal Government ; therefore.
Resolved by the Mayor and City Council ot
Baltimore, That they have heard with pleasure
of the arrest and transportation beyond our
lines of Clement L. Vallandigham,. and that,
in their judgtiuent, the best interest ofthe
country and tbe preservation of the Govern
ment fully justified the proceedings.
Resolved, Tail wbiUt they consider, all the
measures of the Federal Government are sub
ject for just and fair criticism, tbey do not be
lieve that at a time like this any man should
be tolerated who is plainly, palpably and noto
riously endeavoring to create a factious oppo
sition to the Government to increase tbe diffi
culties of putting down rebellion.
Resolved, That the Hon. John Lee Chapman,
Mayor of the city of Baltimore, be and be is
hereby requested to transmit a -copy of the
foregoing preamble and resolutions to tbe
President of the United States, and also to
Gen. Burnside. ,
WHO DONE IT !
A correspondent of the Press, writing from
Huntingdon, gives the following account of
tbe destrnction of the Monitor office : '
The Monitor has been published since last
August, and has been a violent anti-Adminis
tration paper, denouncing its .war measures
and endorsing. Vallandigham as a true Demo
crat, besides the frequently published articles
to o fiend the Union soldiers in the field. The
paper was distributed free of charge among
the men of the 125th Regiment, under Gener
al Hooker. Four companies of this regiment
were from this place, and 1 have been inform
ed by members of the regiment that the men
determined, before they left the army, to de
stroy the office as soon as tbey should arrive
at home. One article in the 1 Monitor, pub
lished some three weeks ago, denounced the
regiment as an unholy mob. The companies
arrived home early on Wednesday morning
last. About ten o'clock a dozen or more of
the soldiers entered the efface, and in less than
half an hour the press, type, and everything
else, was throwniuto the street and destroy
ed, and the office sprinkled and swept "out.
Of the party engaged in the destruction all
were Democrats but one, and all were returned
soldiers of the 123th. A number of citizens
Interfered to prevent tho destruction, but all
to no purpose. A reserve of over a hundred
soldiers stood idly by, ready to assist in the
destruction, if their services should 6e need
ed. The soldiers wish to have all the credit ;
they counted the cost, and are willing to take
all the responsibility. Two or three of the
men who made the "charge" were slightly in
toxicated, while others were perfectly sober
and cool, and determined in their purpose.
Yesterday one , of the party making the
"charge," Mr. George Black, the only man
from this place, was arrested and bound over
to keep the peace. The others were from the
country. ,
', To-day a warrant was issued for the arrest
of R. Bruce Petrikin, R. Milton Speer, J.
Simpson Africa, A. Owen and David Caldwell,
editors of the Monitor, on tbe oath of Mr.
Lewis, editor and proprietor ofthe Globe, lor
threatening the destruction ol his office.- Two
first named were arrested and bound over.
The rest of the party have not yet been taken,
but will be if they can be found."
Vallandigham Beyond our Lines. -C.
L. Vallandigham arrived at Murfreesbo
ro by special train on Snnday tbe 24th, and
on Mohday was sent by a flag of truce to
Bragg's lines at Shellbyville. He was cheer
ful, and on taking leave of his escort told
them that he was a loyal citizen pf tbe United
States.- It is said'tnat he was received by a
private soldier and conducted to Col. Webb
of the 8th Alabama, n tu told him he had read
all of his speeches, but did not like him ; he
would, however, permit him to remain at his
post until the pleasure of the authorities
should be known. Another report states that
Braggs telegraphed to Jeff. Davis, to know
what should be done with Vallandigham, and
that Davis sent word that if Val. would prompt
ly and heartily take the'oath of allegiance to
Secessia they might let him run. :'
' A letter from a Batimorean in Richmond
says : I am receiving $125 per month salary,
paying $11-5 for board and $5 for washing,
$120; leaving me $5 each month for curreut
expenses and clothing. An "ordinary suit
costs $200 ; handkerchiefs, $40 per dozen ;
shirts, $15 a piece, common at that ; hats, $25,'
and everything else in porportion.
Five judges and Inspectors of election have
been sentenced; in' Philadelphia, ; to pay a 'fine

The Berks County Press, copies the fol
lowing notice from the Chambersburg Examiner-
In speaking of Mrs Rice's great Show,
tbe Examiner says : ,
We call special' attention to this exhibi
tion, not on account of its reputed excellence
abd attractiveness, but from the fact that it
is under managerial control of a lady, who
is eminently entitled to the confidence, en-,
courageme it and support of all classes of the
community who wish to see a true, noble and
meritorious iceman succeed.- We allude to
her who is well known in private and pro
fessional circles (particularly in this State,
where she was born and raised) as Mrs Dan
Rice now Mrs. Charles Warner. ! : '
Without making comments in regard to
the circumstances that compelled her to seek
a legal dissolution from tbe person to whom
she. was wedded when a mere girl, we can
commend her for the courage and firmness
she has evinced in maintaining the high po
sition she acquired when she was mistress of
the "Great Show.", By the aid of capital
she has formed an establishment that it is sec
ond to none in the world. It is anew cir
rous, and conducted 00 the roost correct prin-
ciples,and as a place of amusement can be
profitly and conscientiously attended by re
fined and moral people. A good company of
mate and female performers, an immense
stock of acting horses, ponies, mules and
other animals, and a carefully selected and
judiciously arranged programme, are charac
teristic features in Ii'er management, fler
daughter Miss Libbie Rice, accompanies her
mother, and participates in the performances,
the names of tbe artistes will be found in the
regular advertising columns. When the lady
we have spoken of was here in 1859. she crea
ted a profound sensation by her bold though
chaste manage acts,"
Mrs. Rice's show will be ii Clearfield on
Monday June 8th. See advertisements.
INDICATIONS OF NEW MOVEMENTS.
We have the announcement in a letter pub
lished in the Pittsburg Gazette, that four
transports, with Hunter's troops, are at New Or
leans, and that others art coming. If this be
true, we' tbink it indicates a-wise determina
tion tu begin at the Mississippi, where the
most effectual breach has been mare into the
rebellion, aud drive it eastward iiuti) it shall
be swept from the continent. As the armies
move on, the work of reconstruction will go
on in the rear, holding fast all we gam. We
can now see "the begiuning of tbe end." Hun
tei's fine army is too small to carry on efficient
offensive operations where it was; but com
bined as a part of it will now be with those of
Banks, Grant and liosecrans, it can render
good service. Of course a sufficient force
will be left at Hilton Head and Beaufort to
hold securely that most important acquisition
on the coast cf South Carolina; for to aban
don it altogether would be both unwise and
barbarous. -, . . , . .
The Army of the Cumberland.
Parson Brown low, in a letter to the Phila
delphia Press, writes from Nashville: '
"The indications are, though not very strong
that the rebels will either attack the grand
army pf the Cumberland, or seek to get in our
rear." It is certain that, three days ago, two
divisions of the rebel army moved forward
seversl miles. A military gentleman gives it
as his opinion that these divisions were only
advancing to give room for reinforcements
coming in. Be this as it may, the fortifica
tions of Murfreesboro and Xasliville are com
plete, and can't be taken. The army of the
Cumberland is in fine condition, and has sup
plies of all kinds, here and at Murfreesboro,
for eight months to come, or until the first of
April next." ' '
Facts for Soldiers. Throughout the Indi
an and Crimean Campaigns, the only medicines
which proved themselves able to cure the
worst cases of Dysenlary, Senvy and Fever,
were holloway's Pills & ointment- There

A few days . ago the pickets on the river
road below Clarksvilie, Tenn., captured a
negro with a sack upon his back, which, upon
examination, proved to be packages of needles,
to the amount of one hundred thousand.
TnE Hon. Hugh J. Jewett positively declines
to be a candidate for tbe Democratic ticket,
for Governor of Ohio. It is understood that
Vallandigham will be unanimously nominated.
Texan crops promise to be immense! which
renders it all the more necessary for ns to get
command ofthe Mississippi so that they may
not be used to feed rebellion. ' ,
