BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.

WASHINGTON, December lot turns
out as the wounded arrive here that their
proportion to killed is very large, of
which an immense number are slightly
wounded. The number killed proper
tionately to the troops engaged is small.
A general order just issued by Gen.
Martindale, Military Governor, confirms
the sentence of the recent court martial
in the case of Lieut. H. McClurg, of the
both Pennsylvania Volunteers, who was
tried under the following charges, viz:
first, conduct prejudictal to good order
and discipline; second, conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman; third,
uttering disloyal sentiments. The sem
tence is that he be cashiered and deprived
from ever holding any office or post of
honor or trust under the United States,
and that he be confined by Imprisonment
in the Old Capitol prison, or such other
place as the Commanding General may
direct, during the present rebellion, and
that the sentence be published throughout
the United States, to take effect on the
day the sentence is approved.
The Navy Department, at noon to-day,
received intelligence of the capture, last
week; by the steamer g i2PtYIlH Schooner

Steamer Burned,

CAIRO, Dec. 15.-The steamer Lake
City was burned by gu6frillas at Concor-
dla, Ark, fifteen miles above the mouth
OF White River, on Monday last The
next day the United States steamer De
Soto went to Concordia and burned forty
houses. Most Of the baggage belonging
to the passengers of the Lake City was
recovered. The citizens of Concordia
say they did all in their power to prevent
the burning of the steamer, and had
sent courier to Helena to ask protec-
ton. Before the return of the courier
however, the De Soto had accomplished
the destruction of the town.

The Feeling in washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-There is not
as much gloom here as people at a dis
lance would be led to imagine from the
events of the last few days.
Prominent members of the Admins
tratlon declared to day that there would
be no winter quarters for the army, and
that inaction will not long succeed the
late clash of arms.
There is great doubt about the Pregi-

his silence, now that the people of Indi-

Notwithstanding its many vagiaries, has
an unhappy pre-dispositionto fly off into
bitter denunciation Of men and things,
prematurely, and then has the unpleas-
ant duty of taking it all back.
For several days after the digsraceful
and Notifying affair at Huntsville, the
Journal, and Democrat too, for that
matter, INDUCED in bitter and vindictve
abuse of Gen. Dumont, calling him hard
names, denouncing his command, and
hoping that Gen. Rosecrans would as
sign him night cap.
Now the Journal, as usual in such
cases, publishes letter from Cen Du-
mont, il, which that gallant officer fully
vindicates himself, and to a great extent
his command, against all charges made
by the Journal -aE
But, the Journal to its honor, takes
back Its charges as handsomely as 1t was
before yindIctive.
We hope our venerable friend, the
Journal, will permit us to suggest that
hereafter when it has written vindic-
tive article hastily, it will lay it over a
day or two for close reflection. We have
found the plan to work well, and we think
the Journal will
The whole course of General Dumont

of these titles and the Louisville Journal
in its cooler moments, will be the most
earnest in awarding his claim.

TUESDAY night was one of the coolest
of the season, freezing the mud solid, and
forming thick ice in the cutters. But the
heavy rains at the close of last and the
beginning of this week, have been gem
eral. All our exchanges come to US
filled with accounts of high waters in all
the smaller streams. All the streams
around Indianapolis were flooded, being
higher than at any time since 184S.
The upper Mississippi is already ris-
ing from the effects of the rain, and the
Wabash, White river and other tributa-
ries to the Ohio are rapidly rising
There will soon be plenty of water in
the Mississippi to enable the gunboats to
act with efficiency, and the same will be
the case with the Cumberland and Ten
nessee
May we not take this as a favorable
omen, precedent to the great movements
now about setting forth in the West?
And these heavy rains may have a
salutary effect in the East, by raising the
streams in Virginia and North Carolina
to such an extent as to allow the easy
and speedy movement of troops by water
and the cooperation of the gunboats
with the land forces

THIRTEEN UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
wnES. in the course of human events.
1t becomes necessary for one people to dis
solve tue political bands which have con-
nected them with another, and TO assume,
among the powers of the earth, the separate
and equal station to which the laws of
nature and natures God entitle them,
dercnt respect to the opinions of mankind
requires, that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident -
shat all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights; that among these are
life, liberty, aud the pursuit of happiness.
That 10 secure these rights, governments
are instituted among men, deriving their
Just powers from the consent of the govern
ed that whenever any form of government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is
the right of the>people to alter or abolish
it, and to institute new government, lay
ing its foundation on such principles, and
organizing its powers in such form RS to
them shall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed,
viii dictate, that government long estab-
lished should not be changed for light and
transient causes and accordingly all ex'
perience hath shown, that mankind arc
more disposed to suffer, while evils are
suffcrabfe, than to right themselves, by
abolishing the forms TO which they are
accustomed. But when long train of
abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same object, cvinces design to reduce
them under absolute despotisn, it is their
right, it is their duty, to throw off snch
government. and to provide new guards for
their future security. Such has been the
patient sufferance of these colonies, and
such is now the necessity which cons:rains
them to alter their former systems of gov
eminent. The history of the present king
of Great Britain is history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all having in
direct object the establishment of an abso-
lutte tyranny over these States. To prove
this, let facts be submitted to a candid
world.
He has refused his assent to laws the
most wholesome ard necessary for the pub
lie good.
lie has forbidden his governors to pass
laws of immediate and pressing Importance,
unless suspended in their operation, till his
assent should be obtained and when so
suspended, he has utterly neglected to at
tend to them. He has refused to pass
other laws for the accommodation of large
districts of people, unless those people
would relia luish the right representation
in the legislature-a right inestimable 10
them, and fortaidable to tylants only.

IsLAND No. TEN.-The whole proc
eas of capturing this Island is SO e1-
ceedingly neat that it has an almost
artistic beauty. A novelist could not
have devised anything more complete.
There was no element wanting to give
entire satisfaction. The delay had
been long enough to convince every
one of the danger and difficulty to be
met. The object to be attained was
OF the highest importance. The DASH
ing feats of Col Roberts and his party
in spiking the guns, and of the COM
manders of the Gan ondolet and Pitts
burg in running the blockade, and Of
Gen. Pope's force in gaining the Ken
lucky shore, stirred the heart. And
at last all was taken without the loss of a
man on our side. Cannon, munitions,
provisions, transports, Grampus, turtle,
generals, soldiers aud all fell into our
hands. The success was perfect.
Was there ever a more complete and
artistic beauty in military achieve
rnent Q 1t was like a perfect pic.
