Abolitionists the "Order o. the Black
Knights of the Woody Head" II
says this organization has been III ex-
istence for thirty years. Its object Is
to promote the black, and degenerate
the white race, by crossing the breeds,
as English farmers cross their breeds
of horses, cattle and swine. Greeley,

Kind ofsoIdiers they Make

There-are setOf grumblers through
out the country, who are eternally
finding fault with the officers in CON-
mand of the Union Army. To read
after or hear these fellows talk, per-
son might be led to the conclusion that
they knew all about military matters;
could lead armies to the field, and
cover themselves and their men with
immortal glory.
No paper in the country has done
more fault finding, or told how this
General should do, or how such and
such military feat should be accom-
plished, than paper that is very gen.
orally read by the "stay-at-homes, "
called the Cincinnati Gazette. This
paper had one of its brave, bold, wise
editors in the late fight at Pittsbug
Landing. To show what kind of a
military man he was, and how capable
he was, and how bold he was to charge
upon the enemy, We will let the corr
respondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial tell, who writes from Pittsburg
Landing, under date of April Is,
1862. He says: "One Henry Bin
more, Prentiss' Assistant Adiutant
General, formerly an editor of the
Cincinnati Gazette, saw the enemy ad-
vancing in force, and made mastery
retreat on his own responsibility, clear
ing several fences and innumerable
bitches in his determined effort to gain
the Tennessee river at all hazards
He says it was a clear case of STAN
peding on the part of his charger. AT
the termination of the battle he ad-
vanced from under the cover of the
bluff, and with
"Pride in his port, defiance in his eye,"
inquired whether there was yet rem
nant of the enemy to be pursued and
annihilated."
That fellow is good specimen of
all this class of men. They can write
in some third or fourth story, bold,
fierce war articles, but when it comes
to the battle field, where mans bra
very is needed, then they are off as
this editor of the Gazette was.

A Skirmish with the Rebels i'm
Hampshire County.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The following
dispatch has been received at the Wsr De-
partment:
WHEELING, April "a.
To Hon, q. NJ Stanton, Secretary of War:
"A telegram from Gen Schenck states that
squad OF twenty five infantry, sent from
Romney by Lieut. Col. Downy, to look after
guerillas, was attacked yesterday morning,
on Grass Lick, between that post and Cacap-
on, by the rebels, forty in number.
Our force lost three killed, but drove the
rebels, who took refuge in the house one
POLAND. Col. Downey went with rein
iorcement OF cavalry, but the rebels fed at
his approach, carrying off several dead and
wounded, among the latter Col. Parsons their
leader, and POLAND the owner of the house.
Col. Downey reports, interior of the house
covered with blood. He burned the house
and pursued the flying enemy, taking five
prisoners.
Gen. Schenck sent reinforcement OF 110
cavalry and one piece OF artillery to come on
the enemy in their rear. These must have
reached the place about O'Clock p. m.
Our messengers passing to and fro between
Grassy Lick and Romney, were fred on
from four to six miles from Romney by guer.
illas.

Maj. Gen. Commanding.

aG Experience shows, says an ex-
change, that the discharge of heavy
artillery is generally followed by a
rain. The battles of the French ar
mics were succeeded by copious rains
that rendered small streams impossible,
and at the battle of Solferino, storm
of such fierceness arose that the con-
flict was suspended. The same result
attended the battles of the present
war. After Gen. McClellan's four
different battles there were heavy rains
on the following days respectively, and
General Beauregard, in his report of
Bull Run, says that he was prevented
following up his victory by heavy rains
of the following days, At Fort Dom
elson the bombardment of Friday was
followed by q rain on Sunday.

- The best people are sometimes
apt to be disappointed. The Ohio
Senate few weeks ago passed bill
making Jefferson, Harrison, Tuscar-
awas, Coshocton and Holmes counties
one Congressional district. This was
no sooner done than our friend Bing-
ham began to look after his new dis
trict. He got his speech published in
some of the Republican papers and
had it extensively circulated in Tus-
carawas, Coshocton and Holmes coun-
ties-counties that he never thought
of until the Ohio Senate added then
to his district. But that labor was al
lost. Instead of scattering his docu
ments in Coshocton and Holmes, he
can distribute them in Guernsey, No.
Bile and Belmont.

WASHINGTON, April % The following
has been received at the War Department:
NEW MARKET, April 21.
To Hon. E. NJ Stanton:
Our advance is near Harrisburg. We have
troops across the mountains protecting the
bridges on the Shenandoah. at, along and on
the Luray road. To day we pushed force
forward to Lury. The people were greatly
alarmed, at first, Cd account Of the reports
circulated by the rebels as to the treatment
they would receive from US, but in the course
of few hours, they became quite reconciled
to our presence. There is good road to
Warrenton, twenty-five miles, and turn
pike to Culpepper Court House, the same
distance. In several recent sharp skrmshes
with the enemy, we lost three men. Jack
son has abandoned the valley of Virginia
permanently. and is en- rout for Gordons-
vile, by way of the mountains. Every day
brings its prisoners and numerous desertcrs
from the rebels,

They ReiOsCe.

The Republicans are jubilant over
theabolition of slavery in the District
of Columbia. They talk about pro-
slavery locofocos, &c. Well, if it is
pro-slayery to oppose an appropriation
of 81, 100000 for buying up old mig
gers, when the nation is weighed down
by an almost incompatible debt, when
the demands of the tax-gatherer can
hardly be satisfied, when our brave SOL
d;ers are unpaid for many months and
many. of their families are destitute Of
the necessaries Of life, then, set us
down for one as pro-slavery to the core.

OF The Cincinnati Gazette is terrible dis.
tressed about General Mcclellan and Gene
raj Halleck. 1t seems that they can do
nothing to SUIT that Abolition concern. The
editors ought to seek commission from Mr..
Lincoln and take the field themselves, and
then they could msnsge the war to their own
liking. But it is presumed they are not Of
the stuff to 60 into the wars and expose
themselves to danger. They prefer TO keep
at convenient distance, and from their
stand point keep up terrible abuse of the
officers who toll and labor constantly and
faithfully. II Mcclellan and Halleck were
Abolitionists all would be we'll with the Ga
Statesman.
- One of them did, and how he
acted can be seen by reading another
article in to-day's paper.

The Congressional AppOrtiOn-
f'- ment Bill.

The Ohio Legislature, after hard la
Dor, have made out to pass the follow
ing unfair apportionment bill.
The first and second district is COM
posed of Hamilton county, which is
divided in such a manner as to make
both districts Republican; at least that
is the intention.
The third district is composed of
the counties of Montgomery, BVtaer,
Preble and Warran. Republican dis
trict.
Fourth district is composed of the
counties of Darke, Shelby, Logan,
Champaign and Miaui. Another re-
publican district.
Fifth district is composed of the
counties of Van Vert, Mercer, Allen,
Auglaize, Hardin, Hancock and Wy
andott. Perhaps democratic district.
Sixth district, Clezmont, Brown,
Highland, Clinton ard Fayette coun-
ties. Republican district.
Seventh district, Greene, Clark,
Madison and Franklin counties. Of
course this is republican district.
The eighth district is, Union, Della
ware, Marion, Morrow and Richland
counties. Another republican district.
The ninth district is the counties of
Crawford, Huron, Seneca, Erie, SAM
dusky and Ottowa. Republican.
The tenth district is Wood, Putnam,
Henry, Lucas, Paulding, Defiance,
Fulton and Williams. Another repub>
lican district.
Eleventh district has Adams, Sciota,
Lawrence, Gallia, Jackson ami Vinton
counties. Another republican district.
The Twelfth district is Pike, Ross,
Hooking, Pickaway, Fairfield and Per-
ry counties. For wonder this is
Democratic district.
Thirteenth district is composed of
the counties of Licking, Muskingum,
Coshocton and Knox counties. This
is close district, but inclined to be
republican.
Fourteenth district is Holmes, Ash
land, Wayne, Medina and Lorain coun-
ties. Republican.
Fifteenth district is Meigs, Athens,
Washington, Morgan and Monroe
counties. Another republican district.
The sixteenth district is Guernsey,
Belmont, Harrison, Noble and Tus>
carawas counties. Republican.
Seventeenth district is Jefferson,
Carroll, Carroll, Columbiana and Stark
counties. Republican sure.
Eighteenth district is Lake, Cuya-
hoga and Summit counties. A strong
republican district.
The nineteenth district is Geauga,
Ashtabula, Trnmbull, Portage and
Mahoning counties. A bully repub-
lican district.
Seventeen republican to two demo-
cratic distric4. 1t was very kind, GER
tainly, to let 175,000 democrats have
all the way to two districts. There is
such thing as a future Legislature
repeating this Infamous law, and PER
HAPs it will be done.

Order I'm Regard to Discharge of
Army Officers.

WAsHINsroN, April 29.-The following
Order has been issued by the War Depart
ment. Adjt Generals Office:
WASHINGTON, April Is.
The Secretary Of War has observed with
some surprise that the Commanders Of one or
two Military Departments, conceiving them.
selves empowered to do SO, have undertaken
to accept the designations Of and otherwise
discharge from the service of the United
States, officers commissioned or appointed by
the President in the Volunteer Staff OF the
Army. All such discharges are irregular
and, unless confirmed by the President, void
of effect. None but the President can dis
charge an officer appointed by himself and as
he cannot delegate this power to any Gener-
al, no General must attempt to exercise it.
By order of the Secretary Of War.

BA-A high compliment is reported
as having been expressed to the credit
of Generals Halleck and Mcclellan.
In speaking of them to his friends,
lately, Gen. Scott said:
There are two men who can be depended
upon under all circumstances, and in every
emergepcy-I mean General Mcclellan and
General Halleck. There is no doubt that
they must take things as they meet them
and they have great opposition to contend
with, but Mcclellan is at this moment at the
very work his keart loves--and which will
cali forth all the abilities of his powerful
mind-thAt Of trenching, engineering and
beseiglng. And in regard to General Hal
leck, he will do his work like a soldier
There can be no fear of these two able sol
diers doing any base or disloyal act. They
are honest to the core, and will never betray
their country.
1t will not be long before the worle
has evidence of the correctness or er
ror of the veteran Generals opinion
as regards Mcclellan. Halleck ha'
already filed the loyal world with ad
miration of his skill and bravery
Yorktown will either "make or break
the commander of the Union force
now besieging that famous stronghold
By-the-by, we do not believe that Gen
Scott ever said "there can be no fea
of these two able soldiers doing an,
base or disloyal act" The expression
if ever made, was uncalled for, ant
leaves room for suspicion that the 10y
atty of these men has been questioned

Late and Important from York
tOWR---Sheiling the City.


BEFORE YORKTOWN, April 25.--The
principal event yesterday worth men,
ton, was the shelling Of yorktown by
one of the gunboats. She moved up
to the north of Wormley's Greek du-
ring the morning, opened a well direc-
ted fire on their works, which was
promptly answered by the rebels.
The boat then fell back a distance
of three miles from Yorktown, when
she again opened fire, the shells explo-
ding each time within the enemy's
works, but obtained no response.
A few shots were fired during the
day along the whole line to keep the
rebels from strengthening their works.
No one was injured.
Raining to-day, and the indications
are it will soon clear up.
The object of the flag of truce, sent
to the enemy's line on Tuesday, by
order of Gen. Nc Clellan, was to effect
the exchange of four rebel prisoners
for a similar number Of our wounded
in their hands, in order that they
might be better cared for. The an
swer showed that they were not dispo-
sed to comply with the request, but the
wounded had been sent to Richmond.
Captain W. M. Bartlett, acting
Lieut.. Col. of the Goth Massachusetts,
regiment, was shot before Yorktown on
Wednesday, and has had his left leg
amputated. He is doing well.
New YORK, April 26.-Letters from

nation to the reported refusal of an
Irish brigade in the rebel army to
serve, and their surrender of their
arms.

CHICAGO, April ga special from Cairo
to the Journal, says: A reconnaissance in
force was made toward Corinth on Thursday.
When line miles out they surprised rebel
camp, took twenty. seven prisoners, and de.
stroyed the camp equippage. They advan-
ced to Pea Ridge, within six miles OF Corinth,
where they remained from eleven in the
morning until three in the afternoon. No

sounding Of whistles toward Memphis
They got the impression that the rebels were
evacuating Corinth for the latter place.
