The large importation of negroes, mu-
lattoes and other lighter shades of the
seryile tribe, threaten, il continued, to re-
volutoniEe the labor market of Chicago.
1t is very convenient thing to have
negro in the house, although he is very
SO groelb.e animal in the fence. He
comes in so handily to fix up things gener-
ally; and besides, he can be got for little
or no pay, and will displace a class Of help
which is held in greater contempt by the
employer than is the negro.
So reason the Abolitionists. They
would shrink back in horror from the
thought of buying slave and paying for
him with lawful green backs, but, when
he is run off from his master, they gladly
avail themselves of the opportunity to save
a little money by the substitution of black
for white labor Some of them soon find
out to their cost that, although it is easy
to get black servant it is rather difficult
to keep him or to make him work. The
only idea of a darkeyi is, that slavery means
labor, and freedom from slavery, means
abstinence from work. He sees no practi-
cal difference between the southern owner
and the northern master; and shirks the
responsibility of doing any thing for either,
if he can possibly avoid it. -sa
A we'll known gentleman in fhis city,
and one who was most prominent in his
advocacy of bringing the slave here and
providing for them, took the fancy last
week to select a black boy for his own use,
and priding himself upon his physiogno-
mical skill, selected one whom he an
nounced to all his friends as paragon of
excellence. The boy had an honest face,
containing certain well defined lines, the
possession of which was a sure mark. Of
faithfulness and extraordinary Intelligence
He took the boy home, and, in the fullness
ofhis heart, clothed him anew from head
to foot, and provided him with good stock
of clothing, such as would enable
him to resist the rigors of a Northern
climate. The bill footed UP about forty
three dollars. Expecting that the boys
heart would be melted with gratitude, aut
that hence he might count ever after upoi
a faithful servant, he set him to work
The boy did not understand this. Hi
clothes were too good to be dirtied, so h,
took French leave the next day, and ha
not since been seen or heard Of; and tn
soi disant STAKEHOLDER found himself agail
without help. In relating his experience

that has puzzled good many people

There is man in your town, may be

himself Horace Greeley. He wrote a
great many articles fer some paper or an

he ought to do, and how the War ought
to be carried on.

Besides General Rogers, the only 9TH
er rebel officer whose death I have learned
is Colonel Johnson, of Little Rock, Ar
kansas. Gen. Van Dorm was the ranking
officer in command Of tho enemy. Price
although more famous officer, ranks un-
der him. General Lowell was also pres
ent. No other officers of prominence,
prisoners say, were present.

to speak of the prominent actions among
our officers and egiments-always dsli-
cae matter amid the confusion still pre-
vailing. l have not had time to confirm
or remove impressions formed in my own
mind.
Gen. Mcpherson, from Jackson, with
several regiments, reached the rear Of the
enemy on Saturday evening. This com
mand, and that Of General Roseerans
which left town Saturday evening and
Sunday morning, will follow UP the re-
treating enemy, and l confidently predict
that no organized rebel force will be al
lowed to escape from Tennessee.
THE FIGHT ON THE HATCHIE.
Tn the battle of Corinth the enemy
were the attacking party. The second
brilliant affair which comes from the Ar
my Of the West Tennessee, they are the
attacking party. Van Dorm and Price
after being whipped at Corinth, make
their line Of retreat toward what is called
Davis Bridge, across the Hatchie River,
about two miles from Pocahontas. On
their approach to Corinth they crossed the
Hatchie, which is not fordabls stream
at Pocahontas, and destroyed the bridge
They must cross that river to make good
their escape South. As understand the
matter, the rebels had crossed the river
with portion of their forces, vi Hurl-
but attacked them and drove them back,
after avery severe engagement, with heavy
losses on both sides. The enemy are
consequently now on the southeast bank
of the river, pressed by Hurlbut on one
side, kosecrans on=ths other, Mcpherson
on the north, and the river to the south
west of them. II ssems as though they
could not escape.

Letter from General siseI.

The New York Evening Post says that
General Sigel has addressed letter to DR..
Dulon, Of New York, informing him that
he has received assurances from the Secre-
tary ofWar, that with the consent Of the
Governors Of New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin, q limited number
Of regiments and batteries may be raised
in those States for the first corps, now un-
der sigers command, and that the depart
ment would assign such regiments to him.
The regiments to be raised are as follows :;
New York three, Pennsylvania three, and
the other named States one each. Six Of
these regiments may consist Of Americans
and six of Germans; the batteries to be
composed according to circumstances, Of
American or German-born eitizens-men
who have seen service and know their bus
iness. The commanders should be military
men.
General Sigel accordingly asks that a
committee be appointed to make the neces-
sary arrangements and to confer with the
Union Defence Committee. He has pro-
posed Major Schwartz as his chief Ofar-
tillery and commander of the new bate
ries, and suggests that this committee
should confer with him.
General sigel also appeals to the press
to agitate the matter and show the neees-
sity of assisting him. He concludes as
follows Everybody knows how much
we need fresh troops, and the time has now
come when our countrymen have an OpPOr-
tunity to assist me and rally under cur
common Gag. Blu. every minute is more
precious than il bAs been during the whole
war. Let US act quickly and energetical=

1f WASHINGTON, July p.
The leading article in tlge Intelligeneer of
yesterday is the town talk. Mr.. Seward
evidently consented to its publication, as it
speaks without any apology of his opinions
and purposes. II is rumored that Mr..
Thurlow Weed wrote the article, but the
rumor may have arisen from the fact that
Mr.. Weed has a pecuhiary connection with
the journal, not IS an actual proprietor,
but in connection with the liabilities Of the
concern. The wild story Of the retirement
Of Mr.. Seward from the Cabinet is snmma-
rily disposed Of. Those persons who knew
Mr.. Stewards intimate relations with the
President knew that the story was false
There has been q much greater probability
that some other gentlemen would retire
from the Cabinet than Mr. Seward, for
months. Mr. Smith and Mr.. Chase have
both desired to retire from their present
positions, as many persons in Washington
have long known, but they have not been
permitted to do so with the consent Of the
President, and it is now entirely improba-
BILE that any change will be made in the
Cabinet during the present year.

WASHINGTON, June 10th, 1862.
E. FoREMAN-DearS Sri have received
from various parts Of the District several
letters Of late, asking me to be candidate
for reelection, and in order that not be
compelled to answer them all, and others
that may come, 1 desire to say through
your paper to the people of the 14th Dis
trict, to whom am under great obliga-
tions, that if l am re-nominsted, desire
that nomination TO come from them because
they IUGHt Dly services IN Congress, and not be-
Gauss soaRt fhe Office. I have endeavored
to serve them faithfully, and while make
no claims for a denomination, and shall do
nothing 10 obtain Il, except to do what con-
eeive to be my duty here in sustaining the
Administration in a vigorous prosecution
Of the war to put down the rebellion, to
maintain the Constitution and preserve the
Union, 1 shall, if reelected, to the best of
my ability perform that duty hereafter as
have done heretofore.
/ want it distinctly understood, that if /
am candidate for reelection, that am
made one by the people Of the 18th Dis

There are many gentlemen Of honesty and
ability in the District, who would, / have
no doubt, faithfully represent the people
in Congress if nominated and elected; and
either Of whom the people may designate
for that Office in properly constituted
convention, viii receive my cordial sup
port. My only ambition nolO is to render
what aid can to enable the Government
to bring all its power to bear as speedily
as possible on the rebels, that our good old
Gag may again foat in triumph over every
foot Of territory belonging to the United
States, that Liberty and Union" may in
deed be made one and inSepGrabIe,n by an

First Blood for the Board of Trade Bat
terry.
On Sunday morning, as Mr. D. B. Rich
ardsOn, member of the Board of Trade
battery, was going to church, he was ac-
costed by a man with whom he had a
slight acquaintance, who asked him what
he thought of the war. Mr.. Richardson re-
piled with another question, by asking him
what he thought of it. The man knowing
that Mr.. R. had enlisted, replied: q You
are damned fool to enlist" and taking
off his hat cried: "Hurrah for JEFF Davisl'
That was little more than our Board of
Trade battery man could stand. Accord
ingly he squared of-and although his op-
ponent was q man twice his size and
ength-foored him, and didn't leave
him until he had administered a severe
and merited thrashing to his secesh friend.
He then proceeded on his way to church,
conscious he had done his duty. He will
now do TO 90 TO the wars. He has got his
hand in. The Board of Trade battery boys
at present are just the wrong boys to talk
treason to- Chicago Tribune.
