Justice John n. johnson, owing 70 the ihdis.
position of Coroner Woodward, was dep ut6d TO
Oficate ~ coroner In the case Of man who
died very suddenly on Saturday morning. His
name was Reed G0e, discharged soldier, late
member of Co. A, One Hundred and Third
regiment Pennsylvania volunteers. The EVIL
denoe revealed the fact that the deceased was
n man Of unusually Incorporate habits; but the
immediate cause Of his death was disease Of
the heart. The Jury returned verdict In ao-
cordance with the above facts. The deceased
s said to have been highly educated and in
telligent man, and at one time physician In
good standing. But tho demon intemperancs
mad ruined him the high hopes Of manhood
were blighted. He enlisted In the army IA
private, and has died . pauper's death, without
the means or friends to provide resting place
toa the poor wreck of n frame left on earth
And yet there are hundreds of the best and
most talented young men Of our city who are
pursuing the same downward course to ruin by
the use OF the iEebriating cup.
We have been requested TO call attention TO
the want OF proper provision for such cases -
the above; After the inquest was over, It was
discovered that no means we're provided for
the burial OF the body. Justice johnson spent
several hours In almost vain efforts TO And
some person with proper authority TO order
the undertakers to inter the remains. We pre-.
sumo that this difficulty does not arise 30 much
from want OF proper authority on the part Of
some Official, as II does from want of proper
understanding among the officers In different
branches Of tho various departments which 40
TO make up the government Of tho city and
District. We hope there will be mutual un-
derstanding with reference 10 this matter In
the future. ' 't

WAR NEWS.

The expedition which left Helena is reported
to have consisted of twenty thousand men, and
to have Grenada, Miss, for its destination
Grenada is in Yallabusha county, one hundred
and thirteen miles north of jackson, the capital
of the State. 1t is place of considerable trade
and has about two thousand inhabitants.
A despatch from Nashville reports battle
fought at Huntsville between the Federal forces,
under Col. Moore, and the Confederates, under
Col. Morgan. The. Federal troops fought desper-
ately but were repulsed several times, and final
ly surrendered, leaving sixty Of their men killed
and wounded on the field. The Con!ederates SUBJ
sequently attacked the Federal forces under Gen.
Fry at Gallatn, but were repulsed with some
loss. At last accounts Gen. Fry had been rein
forced and was pursuing the Confederates. The
Federal troops captured at Huntsville formed a
brigade, consisting of one Illinois regiment, one
from Ohio, battery, and a small detachment Of
Indiana cavalry. Huntsville is in Summer coun-
ty, Tennessee, forty-fve miles southwest from
Nashville.
A accommodating party was sent from Bolivar
Heights on Wednesday, and when last heard
from was near Berryville, moving towards Win
chester, where it is supposed a Confederate bri.
gade is encamped. 1t is now reported that Gen
Jacksons forces were at Madison Court-House,
sixty miles west Of Fredericksburg, a week ago.
On Saturday the Confederates, twenty five
thousand strong, under the command of Gener.
ais Hindman and Marmaduke, attempted to drive
the Federals from their position at Cave Hill,
Arkansas, but were repulsed. Sunday morning
the Federal pickets were driven in but reinforce.
ments having arrived the Confederates were
again forced to fall back.

SEWARD THE DEMAGoGUE AND SEW

SEWARD THE DEMAGoGUE AND Sew
ARD THE STATEsMAN.-The Abolition
press tells us that slavery is the cause of
the war; that the war will not cease while
slavery continues. This is their favorte
theme, and they have harped on it SO long
and so ardently that, perhaps, they may
have induced some who .disclaim being
Abolitonists to believe it. We meet the
assertion by fiat contradiction, and VIC
know that not the ablest man among the
leading Abolitionists can make even a re.
spectacle argument in support of the posi-
ton, much less logically establish it
Seward the demagogue, iu clap. trap po-
litical speech at Albany or Rochester,
seemed to favor the idea that freedom aud
slavery could not co-exist in this country,
that one or the other must yield, when he
spoke of the ''irrepressiblo conflict of op-
posing forces.' But this occurred at II
time when he was looking forward to po-
litical exaltation, and wished to touch Il
chord in the heart OF the people which he
thought would vbrate 10 his favor
Seward the statesman, subsequently,
disavowea this doctrine of Seward the
demagogue, in a speech delivered by him
in the United States Senate, January IL,
1861, in which he said: "The different
forms of labor, # Slavery aoere not perver-
ted to purposes ofpolitical ambition, need
not be an element of strife in the Confed-
eracy." This offectually disposes of the
"irrepressible conflict" doctrine, aud viz
tually comedies that it was not siaue,y but
"politicaI amebition,' using slavery as
the means whereby to accomplish its
"purposes," that had kept the country in
agitation for years, terminating, finally,
in civil war. Slavery might have existed
for ages to come under the local laws Of
the Southern States, without interrupting
the good relations between North and
South, if it had been let alone by North
crn fanatics and demagogues, who had nc
business with it, who were not morally &C.
countable for it, and who were Iound, as
good citizens, to respect it as a right &C
knowledgcd and guaranteed by the Con
| stitution. ' 1t was meddlesome politica
