WAR NEWS.
The. Vicksburg Herald of the 12th inst.
says, in regard to; our late expedition to
Jackson; that our forces moved from Black
River on the morning of the 3d inst..in
command, of Gen. Dennis. The whole
force numbered, less• than 3,000. The
enemy were not encountered in any con
' sibrable force until the sth inst., when
they were found strongly. posted on the
,east bank of a creek three miles this vide
•of Jackson. flanking force compelled
the Rebels to abandon their position, aid
..our, forces occupied Jackson that night.
"ihe following day, as our troops were
leaving the town, a citizen climbed up to
the top of the State; House and eignaled
- the Rebel cavalry, which drew up in line
of battle on the north of the town. For
.this, act the citizen tvie shot. The enemy
-attacked our advance in strong force, but
they wore driven back the next morning.
Our rear guard wai again assaulted near
„Clinton, but the Rebels were, ag ain re •
pulsed and the ground strewn wi th their
dead and wounded. Our total loss was
less
,than 100 killed and 50 wounded.
eaptpred 30 or 40 prisoners.
The late skirmishing near Fort Stevens
/ma developed some new kind orammuni
4ion used by the Rebels. —Among the
missiles picked up is a conical musket, ball
-of lead - in three divisions., Another is a
brass chain-shot, 'five inches in length,
.with a conical brass ball, three•fourths of
:an inch in length at each end. The chain
part is three and„a half inches in length,
formed of two stout brass wires twisted
together, and permanently riveted to the
ball at each end. This evidently intended
as - a '•flagstaff to li - os fired from the
rifle to cut the staff. It is a fearful de
vice. If fired at. he neck of a soldier
it would most.likely decapitate him, or if
it wOunded, poisonl' , him, and if it struck
an arm or leg it would strip off the flesh.
The wound would be certain death. But
the third missile exhibtts the fact ti,at
"Johnny Reb". wis getting short of am.
munition, or ho desired to save Lila eon-
tents of his cartridge•box by using the
parte of some' lady's piano he had demol
ished. It is a tuning sorew, and wh's found
imbedded in•it tree, evidently fired from
a. rifle.
. The Nashville L' 11071 of July I4,'says :
'!Dispatches receiv-d here this morning,
announce that three of our strongest - corps
are south of s the shatahooehie, and are
firmly intrenched iq the abandoned Rebel
works. We have vCry few particulars iu
addition to these already published. A
rumor, apparently authentic, is current
that the Rebel Gen. George Marley of this
city was wounded in a skirmish, while our
troops were crossing the river." The
Times of same date says : "An offi
cer from the front 'informs us that the
Rebels at the front have fallen back within
their outer lines of fortifications around
Atlanta.. They , extend i tbree wiles beyond,
the city, and have been made very strong;
of late. There are 20,000 militia within
the iatrenchmehts; everybody able to bear
arms having been pressed into service.
Johnston . will probsibly give battle there.
The Rebels are moving all their supplies
from Atlanta to Augusta, showing that
they expect to retreat."
Gen. Rosencrana has taken the precau
tion to guard against the incendiary area
in St. Louis, by which a number of boats
have, recently been destroyed. He has
.ordered two . tugs, to be kept under full
head of steam, day and night, to tow oat
burning ' boats into the river, and has
adopted other stringent measurds, tuoh as
prohibiting small bbats from plying in the
harbor without autijority. The militia at
St. Joseph's, Mo.,ave reoentj gone over
to the Rebels in co n
siderable numbers.
Dispatches frcim Geo. Butler's head.

everytbiog is comparatively quiet there:
The Rebels continue to fire from a mov

gunboats fallow the battery and respond
to their fire with shells.

The Tamaqua Journal, a staunch Union

11th ult., by a copperhead.imob. The
office was broken into after the outside

on the floor. The forms were:broken and

In the face of this plain and most utie•
quivocal language, we see the Harrisburg

Further, we finds Board of appraisers
for war damages openly advertise, in the
public prints, in utter contempt of the
very Legislative powers which made them
what they,are, that a certain bill vending
in reference to war losses "willbe deter
mined at the adjourned sesseon to be held
in August next."
What mean these concurrent declara
tions that certain measures are to override
the solemn intent and .aeclaration of the
Legislature ? That Harrisbuig should
desire to have Legislation and' "Daily
Records" as long as possible—and that
the Cumberland Valley losers by the
chances of war would like to have their
deficiencies made good out of the Public
Treasury--is nothing strange. But what
right have their agents to' stata that the
Senate and House will trample upon their
own decision by going outside of the spec.

are, to meek.? Is this confident language
of interested parties designed to mislead
and take the Legislature unawares, or is
it the defiant resolution of a per ectly con

to stultify themselves, by co.. mencing
miscellaneous business, the en. of which

.a means of acknowledging
their error and of avowing their contempt ,

le„. Our friend of •tbe•Muncy Lumi
liarli reads Senator Cowan a sharp lesson
for his vote ar , "einst the repeal of the Fa
r,itive Slave Law. It is true, as, our
friend says, that Mr. Cowan obtained his
election upon the most radical anti
slavery professions. It is true that he
sneered at. David Wilmot as conservative
in comparison. It is true that be suc
ceeded in getting antislavery tnen to elect
him on such representations. What then?
Mr. Cowan is a lawyer, was never, and
will never be, anything else. You may•
stumble upon hie equal as a legislator in
day Justice's Court. No man can be
rightly blamed for doing as well as his
head, and 'heart will allow of, doing. A
shoemaker, dropped in the midst of a
large machine shop, and required to su
perintend its operations, ought not to be
abused for failure. He might still cut,
fit, and pe,3 'a boot with the best. 'To
that he was_ trained. Occasionally we
stumble upon a universal genius. . Mr.
Cowan is not such an one. He is a tech
nical lawyer with a 'county reputation,
rather scholarly, not a bad talker though
unable to leave his Quarter Sessions man- 1
Tiers outside the Senate Chamber.
Mr. Cowan is a decided improvement
upon Billy Bigler, since hi is neither a
fool, ass, or traitor.—Agiiator.
110 - Every reader of the Copperhead
papers, says the Lebanon Courier, will
remember how their columns were filled
with abuse of Lincoln and the Union men
Igenerally for adopting the $3OO law, a
provision which we always considered and
said was particularly iedvantageous to the
poor, but which the Copperheads con
demned in their severest language as op
pressive on that class. yell, - that" aw
has been repealed, and now we find these
same Copperheads condemning its repeal
with as much energy as they did its adop
tion. It is to be regretted that it is nec
essary to repeal the law ; but there is no
body so respoosible for its repeal as are
the Copperheads.. They tried to keep
men from rioing into the army, the Cop
perhead Legislature of Delaware even .
going so far, as to appropriate money, not
to fill the quota of the State, but to pay
the, commutation of drafted men and
thereby prevent the government from
obtaining men. The factious and wicked
course of the Copperheads in trying to
embarrass every measure of the adminis
tration for bringing the rebellion to an
honorable close has 'put many a burden
upon the people that might otherwise
have been avoided.
