We trust the editor of the Eagle will
not utterly exhaust his feeble powers over
the statement made by us, relative to
the course taken TO defeat Hon. L. w.

this Congressional District. We have
spoken that we do kno,0, but have not
told the one-half that could be made
known relative to the corrupt, underhand-
ed transactions that secured the renomi-
nation of Hon. (D Francis W. Kellogg
to that high position. If the Eagle de-
sires more light on that point we are pre-
pared to giveit. Perhaps it is but a mat
ter of justice to the electors Of this Con-
gressional District-yea, matter Of duty
to them-that the aohole facts 10 the case
should appear, so that they may be the
better prepared to choose between the
present nominee and the honest and eff
cient nominee that will soon be brought
forward by the Union Convention for their
suffrage. Shall all the facts in the case

On Saturday morning Price attacked
Rosecrans' right, and Van Dorm and Low
oil his left. The assault was made with
great determination. At one time our
center was penetrated and the rebels
reached the Corinth house, near tho CEN
ter of the town, but they were driven out
at the point Of the bayonet.
The battle lasted till half-past eleven,
when the rebels began to retreat towards
the Hatcbie river. The number killed

We have taken between 700 and 1000

Railroad Embargo, and Families OF
Volunteers to the Poor-House!

Mr.. EDITOR: AS the acts of public
men are public property l call the atten-
ton of the electors of this Senatorial Dis
trict to the legislation of the Extra Sess-
ion of 1862. You will find, by reference
to the Session Laws of 1862, pages 7
and 8, that an extension of the grant to
the Corporation, known as the Grand Rap
ids and Indiana Railroad Company, was
extended for the term of two years, from
and after the first day of January, 1864,
for which extension, Hon. Nelson Green,
renominated by the late Republican Sen
atorial Convention, held at Grand Haven,
4th inst, voted in the affirmative. See
Senate Journal, 1862, pages, 80 and 90.
Now for the Poor House. In the SEN
ate Journal of 1862, page 81, you will
find the following:
"Families of Volunteers shall be emit
tied to the benefit of the Volunteer Fund
only when they would be entitled to the
benefit of the Poor Fund, if there was
no Volunteer Fund"
Which motion did not prevail-9 yeas
and 10 nays--Hon. Nelson Green voting
in the affirmative. Magnanimous Green
