MORNING LEADER.

From the I0sd.


From the IoSd.
A letter from the lesd to the Medina
Gazette speaks Of the very properre require
ments for cleanliness which are enforced
blythe officers commanding the brigade.
Two eorpOrals have already been unstrip-
ped for not having their tents in proper
condition. On the 10Th and 18th, the
Board Of Medical Examiners were in ses-
sion, and out Of. some sizty-four applicants
belonging to the regiment, some thirty-six
received their discharges. The following
members of Company were discharged,
who viii probably soon return to their
homes, viz: Sergeant Thopas Smith, Pri-
Yates DelOs Smith, Charles Webster, George
Woodruff and Charles Nichols. Those
from Company K discharged were Simon
Kennedy, Cyrus McCabe, Nathan P. Rob
,h;-ae Henry Dunham, James Kennedy,
.sfd Clark and Amos B. Horton.
As a specimen Of the cleanliness desired
by the Medical officers, they refused to
discharge one man because his foot was not
clean. BE had a lame ankle, and the
guanhfn Of terra frma was the only bar
rier that prevented him from being dis
missed frcm the service. This may seem
little beartless. but it will be a hint to
the boys that the Kentucky River runs
through the vicinity.
acircular No. A. had been issued pre-
scribing ratiOns Of whisky, containing
preventive drugsin the proportion Of one
ounce of sulphate of quinine and four
ounces Of sulphate Of cinchonia to bar
rel Of whisky. OF this medicated spirit
troops doing guard and fatigue duty are TO
have two rations per day, at A. N. and
5P. NJ, and in rainy or tempestuous wealth
er soldiers on guard or picket duty are to
hsve an additional ration at 1OP.N.
It may be that the medical staff deter
mine that this whisky ration is necessary,
but we doubt its expediency, to say the
least. The curse of drunkenness already
prevails to an alarming extent in the
army, in spite Of all efforts to subdue it
and while such an order as this may be
issued with thebest of intentions and may
be very welcome to the soldiers who stand
guard on q cold and stormy night, it viii
as certainly promote drunkenness as ef-
feet follows cause. Many home is to be
made wretehed by the vice, yes, the crime
of intoxication which originated in the
army; many reformed drinker, who en-
tered the army temperance man, comes
out Of it with renewed appetite for the
daily dram. We hope to hear that all such
orders as these are speedily rescinded.

The pemocraoz and the War.

The venerable A. B. johnson, of Utica,
father of Judge A. S. johnson, late of the
Court of Appeals, has been for many years
a respected and influential member of the
Democratic party, and has written very
ably and forcibly in vindieation of its prin-
ciples and policy. The present attitude
of its leaders with regard to the War for
the Union does not command his appro-
baton, and in a private letter to an old
friend he speaks out of follows:
Gov. Seymour is ont for the war, as
are the Democratic leaders generally. |
maintain that the Democratic party is
more responsible for the war than the Alb
olitionists. The south would never have
hazarded Rebellion if they had expected
an undivided North. The Democratic
party had for many years told the South
TO resist Northern aggression, and, even
as late as the great Democratic COnven-
tion at Albany, in February. 1861. the
speakers who were most applanded said
that, if there was to be any fighting, it
should commence at the North against
those who would eoerce the South, but,
after thus seducing the South in rebellion
by false assurances, they all repudiated
their promises. and were among the first
to volunteer against the South. They are
thus acting the part of Satan, who. after
men to sin, assists in furnishing
them therefor. Is anything could add TO
the baseness of their position. it is the
general belief that they are attempting
thereby to get into power. that when it is
obtained they may betray the North as
they have the South. by returning once
mora TO their first loYe as bids oG the rebels

aunboat Fight on the Yazoo River.

CAIRO. July 2l-
+. The Dispatch Boat which arrived from
Memphis on Saturday brings the follow
ing: The reported escape of the rebel
gunboat Arkansas Is correct. The affair
took place on the morning of the 18th.
That morning, in consequence of reports
brought by refugees that the Arkansas
was about to run the Federal fleet, the
gunboats Carondalet, Tyler, and Ram Lam
caster started up the Yazoo to reconnoi-
ter. When eight miles from the mouth
they came suddenly upon the Arkansas
living under bank. As our boats rounded
the bend she opened upon them with 6S-
Founders. Our gunboats returned the FIRE
for short time and fierce engagement
ensued, but finding that the channel of
the river prevented successful maneuyer-
ing they gradually dropped down towards
the mouth, the Arkansas following closely,
just as the latter was passing over the bar
the Carondalet closed with Eer, intending
to board. She succeeded in throwing the
grapple aboard and getting out plank,
when the Arkansas opened steam pipe,
throwing hot water across the plank. The
Carondalet replied in the same manner.
While thus engaged both vessels ground
ed. The neck separated them and the
Arkansas succeeded in getting of, while
the Carondalet remained fast for an hour.
The Arkansas Immediately passing down
the river, the Tyler preceding her main
tanning a running fight with her greatly
superior adversary. None of our gunboats
with the feet had steam up, and the en-
tire feet was so scattered that but few
could fire at the Arkansas as she passed
= T. 10
As she approached, such boats as could
safely do so, opened fire upon her, but her
plating resisted most of the shot. A solid
Shot from Farragut's gunboat No. 6, struck
her larboard bow, passing through under
the plating, ripping it off for considera-
BILE distance. What further damage done
was not ascertalned. sfr
The injuries done our fleet were light. !
The Benton received a shot near the edge
of her after laboard side, killing one man.
The Tyler, which engaged the Arkansas
for nearly an hour and half, had seven /
killed and nine wounded. Among. the /
latter were pilot Sebastian Hiner, and en-
gineer Davis.
The ram Lancaster received shot un-
der her boiler, causing the escape of hot
water, scalding six, three of them fatally.
Entire Federal loss twelve killed and
fifteen wounded. Five or six of whom
will die.
Rebel loss not known, but it is believed
% be great, as the hot water streams of the
Carondelet at the time she attempted to
,oard her was thrown directly into her.
A special to the Times. from Memphis,
ays:-The night Of the same day that the
Arkansas succeeded in running through
,ur feet, Farragut made an Intellectual at
empt to sink her. His entire feet pass
ID down the river, each vessel pouring a
roadside into her as it passed.
The rebels acknowledge one seven inch
teel pointed shot went through her, but
Issert this was the only damage sustained.
/ reconnaissance the next morning show
ID the Arkansas undergoing repairs, but
lid not appear in any danger of sinking.

that this vision meant the uprising of the

But, as we have not set this race on

1t is the Journal of Commerce folks that

Fight in North CarolIn a.

A Newbern North C1rolina, letter of
the 18th says that Hamilton, North Caro-
lima, was captured on the 9th by three of
our gundoats, the Com. Perry, Ceres and
Shawsheen, and company of Hawkins
Zouaves, under Captain Hammell, on our
side.
1t was defended by regiment of rebel
cavalry supported by a strong force of in
fantry and artillery, and a'rebel fort which
commanded the river. There were nu-
merous masked battreies along the river,
as also, rebel steamer filled with sharp
shooters. While the gunboats attacked
and dispersed the men in the batteries, the
Zouaves advanced on the town accompan-
led by a detachment from the gunboats.
The Fort was taken by a charge and also
the town. The rebel steamer was captur-
ed by our gunhoats, whose fire drove her
occupants overheard. We only had one
man killed. but quite number wounded.
This victory is of Importance inasmuch as
it cleans the way to Weldon. 1t is impos-
sible to estimate the loss to the enemy,
who, it is said, left some 40 or 80 dead on
the field.

How the Irish Fight.

A correspondent of the New York Her
ald, writing of the late battle before Rich
mond, has the following: 'i
There was the Irish brigade in all the
glory of fair free fight. Other men go
into fights finely, sternly, or indiferently,
but the only man that really loves it, after
all, is the "green immortal Irishman.
So there the brave lads from the sod. with
the chosen Meagher at their head, laugh
ed and fought and ioked, as If it were the
finest fun in the world. We saw one sit
ting on the edge of ditch, with his feet
in the water--and the sun and the water
too very hot-and heapparently wounded.
As we road by he called out to know if
we "had ever seen a boiled Irishmap."
