MoKINNEY.-The Supreme Court yes
terday rendered decision in the case of
John Mckinney, late State Treasurer
The bill Of exceptions was overruled and
the case remanded back to the Ingham
Circuit for sentence. Mckinney was first
arrested for ENLIGHTENMENT in February,
1861, and after a preliminary examina-
ton, at Lansing, was bound over for ap-
pearance at the next term of the Ingham
Circuit. The case was adjourned until
November, when, coming on, the jury
found him guilty. Before the verdict was
rendered, bill of exceptions was filed,
and argued and submitted to the court at
the last term.
Sentence will probably be rendered at
the May Circuit, and this will be the last
Of Mckinney, over whose crime there has
been so much discussion for the past two
years. The amount of ENLIGHTENMENT
charged in the warrant upon which the
trial was had was $4,000. The penal
ty provided by the statute is fourteen
years in the State prison.-Det. Free
Press, 26th.

STEPPING Our" IT'S an i'll wind that
blows good to no one" says tho oft quot
ed proverb. And the rebellion seems
alike destined to shuttle off the mortal
coil and connubial tie from the brave and
unfortunate,as will moro fully appear from
the following:
"Mr. EgglestOn has introduced in the
State Senate Of Ohio bill making dis
loyalty on the part of the husband suf-
ficient ground for divorce, if sought by
the wife," A fine opportunity for fast
ladies. If we were wife, and so unfor-
tunate as to have disloyal husband we
know mighty quick what, under such cir.
cumstances, we would do. Why we'd
just stick to him like q wood tick to O
lamb, and Caudle lecture him from morn
to night, till we had fairly shamed him
out Of his 6oo5yism, and his Secesh pro.
clivities had all oozcd out at his finger:
ends, and we had made decent man Of
him. That's what we'd do!

without damaging their political reputa-
ton. With them, it will require but one
sober second thought to open their eyes
to the fact, that political conservatism is
synonymous with the doctrines of the
democratic party, and that there is no
half way house between democratic prin-
ciples and abolition principles. This is
the separation which will tell, and will be
felt in the right place, because it is not
the result Of wire pulling and party man
agement. There are others who still lin
ger in the fold of the republican party,
and are making strong attempts to cypher
out the difference between republicanism
and the doctrines of its leaders. They
can satisfactorily ascertain the contrast
between themselves and Wendell Philips,
but when they undertake to find differ
ence between Philips and such repu6h-
cans as Lovejoy, Chandler, Sumner, and
Stevens, all of whom are influential re-
publican leaders, then they can only see
that it is after all a mere distinction with
out difference. Let such men be wise
in time, for they will soon be convinced,
that as long as they acknowledge them
selves republicans, they will be claimed
by the radical abolitionists whose princi
pies they at the same time pretend to de.
nounce.-JackSon Patriot.

News received from Pittsburg Landing
is highly important. An engagement
took place on Thursday between the ad-
vance guards of the national and rebel
armies. The rebels were driven back to-
wards Corinth. Halleck was pushing his
whole army vigorously forward.
A dispatch from Fortress Monroe, to
the Secretary of War, says that a con-
traband just from Portsmouth, brings the
Petersburg Express. 1t contains the fol-
lowing: "The enemy passed Fort Jack
son yesterday afternoon Thursday at A
o'clock. When the news reached New
Orleans the excitement was boundless;
martial law was put in full force and bu-
siness suspended. At l o'clock the opera
tor babe us goodbye, saying that the en-
envy had appeared before the CITY,"
A dispatch in Saturdays Richmond
papers, received by n flag of truce, dated
Mobile, Friday, says the Union gunboats
passed Forts Jackson and St. Philip at
o'clock Thursday morning. A rumor
was current in Norfolk last night that
New Orleans had surrendered. But few
troops were at Norfolk, or in the vicinity.
A special to the New York Times says,
it is stated by contrabands that the most
intense excitement exists around Norfolk,
and they are in great fear of an attack by
Burnside.
&dvices from the gulf per the Connect
icM state that forts McRae and Barran-
cas- have been evacuated by the rebels.
A flag of truce from Norfolk says that
the telegraph operators having left New
Orleans, there is no news from there
They attempted to return, but found the
city in possession of the Federal forces.
There is no news from fort Wright
The mortars still fire occasionally. Refu-
gees from Memphis report strong Union
feeling existing there. The people are
anxiously waiting the arrival of our forces
to take possession.
Fort Harris, just above Memphis, has
been overfowed by crevasse. Much
damage was caused to the surrounding
country.

THE FIFTY FIFTH PA. REGIMENT
Last week we made mention OF the report
of the capture by the Rebels of a part of
a company belonging to the Fifty-ffth
regiment, Col. Dick White, at Little Eds
to island, S. c.. Subsequent information
confirms the report, and gives us the ad-
ditional particular that Co. I, Capt. Ben
nett. is the company spoken of. A cor
RESPONDENT of the New York Tribune
writing from Port Royal, gives the follow
ing statement concerning the unfortunate
occurrence:
"An attack has been made by the Rebels
upon a portion of the forces stationed at
North Edisto. Information was conveyed to
the rebels of the position occupied by three
companies of the both Pennsylvania, and their
capture attempted by three battalIons
each five hundred strong, moving simLltane-
ously last Saturday morning, March Both,
ut day break, upon their separate positions.
1t happened that two companies had moved
their camps the day before, and the two Reb-
el battallions in search of them were obliged
TO retire, having affected nothing. The third
less fortunate. Thirty men of Company
+, Capt. Bennett, under command of their
First Lieutenant, were at Hannahan's planta-
tion, Little EdiStO, separated from the
large island and the main force by creek,
the bridge over which was destroyed by the
rebels, and their retreat completely cut Off
This Insignificant force, thus attacked by 500
rebels, maintained desperate defence for an
hour falling back toward the bridge, of whose
destruction they were unaware, availing them
selves of the inequalities of the ground as
cover, and partially screened by the thick fog.
through which, however, the flashes of their
guns betrayed them to the enemy. They
steadily maintained this unequal conflict, un-
til when within hundred yards of the bridge
their ammunition gave out, and other de-
fence was possible. Still, they would not
surrender, but, throwing their musllets into
the river, sought refuge in thickets along the
banks. Five escaped by swimming, and
were afterward picked up by one of the Cru
sader's boats. Five known to have been
killed during the fight The remaining twenty
some OF them wounded, are missing, and un-
doubtedly prisoners"
1t will be seen by the succeeding par
agraph that Col. White himself made
most narrow escape from falling into the
hands of the enemy:
''The rebel plans included also the capture
of Col. White of the 55th Penns ylvania. He
had moved his headquarters, like the two
companies, only the day before, and the reb-
els, in their advance, passed unaware by the
house in which he and his adjutant and
quartermaster were sleeping"
Capt. Bennett, we are informed, halls
from this county, and number of Cam
brians enter into the composition Of his
company.
