THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

On Thursday last the rebels attacked
the right wing of McClellan's army, and
after severe fight our troops were order
ed to withdraw. The object of the move
ment was to bring Porter's and other
divisions into moro close connection with
the rest of the army. ,r.f
Mcclellan, Cor certain reasons, had
moved his entire left wing and center to
the James River, distant about seven
miles. This necessitaied the withdraw
ing of the right wing, and brought on the
engagement of Thursday and Friday.
This was the movement anticipated and
desired, as it drew the attention and the
forces of the rebels to the right wing,
while the left and center moved round
upon the James and lower part Of the
city.
Mcclellan ordered Porter TO withdraw
to two miles this side of Gaines Mill,
which was done, the enemy following up,
thinking they had gained a victory over
our troops, slowly moving back in order,
fighting as they went. Our forces were
increased by Meagher's, Palmer's and
French's brigades. The ground which
Mcclellan ordered Porter TO occupy and
hold was occupied and held.
The immense amount of stores at the
White House were removed on board the
transports and taken round 10 the James
River.
There is a rumor that Burnside has
landed in the rear of Fort Darling, and
all his available troops ready to at
tack it.
1t is also rumored that Mcclellan la.
advanced his left wing some five miles t.
q lofty eminence, and has commenced
Smelling the city.
The Grenada appeal, of the 23d, say'
that the Federal fleet had opened fire oil
the lower batteries at Vicksburg. Thu
result is not stated.
The latest accounts Of the repulse o
our forces at James Island, near Charles
ton, after four hours hard fighting, says
our troops had to contend against vastl,
superior numbers. The Michigan Eight
lost over 800 in killed, wounded an,
missing. The New York 10th also sui
fered severely.

Mediation and General Butler.

Two questions arc now agitating western
Europe relative to American Affairs, to
wit: Mediation and the Proclamation Of
General Butler. Relative to the former,
no formal proposition has yet been pre-
sentod in Parliament. In respect TO tho
latter, tho Proclamation is severely de-
nounced. 1t is certainly desirable that
southern women should not be permitted
to insult or molost our soldiers in the dis
charge of their duties, or when pcaceably
perambulating the streets of cur South
crn cities. And we believe it perfectly
right and proper that military authority,
when necessary, should be used to enforce
becoming Difference on tho part of every
class of the rebellious toward our brave
volunteers. But is it not equally desira-
bic that our Commanding Generals should
use such language in their proclamations
that the intent can not be mistaken, or
the phraseology admit of different con-
structions? The following exhibits the
feeling in Europe:
"HALIFAx, juno "a.
"The Arabia from Liverpool the l4th
and Queenstown the 18th, arrived a 5 A..
M.
"Tho question has been put in both
Houses of Parliament, relative TO the ru-
NOR of mediation in America, and Gen.
Buffers proclamation relative to the la
dies of New Orleans.
earl Russell and Lord Palmcrston
said the mediation rumors were unbound
cd. No propositions on the subject had
been made, and there were no present In
tentions Of such step. General Buffers
proclamation was denounced and the hope
expressed that the United States govern
ment would disavow it.
"The question of mediation is rcsum-
cd. The Patrie gives the rumor of an
approaching negotiation for joint offer
by France and England.
"The Times editorially approves of me-
diation. Europe ought not to look calm
ly on, and if the offer of mediation is do
layed the moro important question, that
of recognition of the Confederates, may
have to be considered. The Times ad-
vocacy of mediation had no effect on the
Liverpool cotton market.
1.-The Morning Post denounces in the
bitterest terms Buffers proclamation rela-
tive to the ladies of New Orleans, and
thinks the government is bound TO recall
and court martial him, and says such an
act as this, if not promptly disavowed,
would soon turn the scale finally and de-
cicively in favor of the Confederate cause.

THE following is said to be correct
copy of tho act prohibiting slavery in the
Territories of the United States:
"To the end that Freedom may be
and remain forever the fundamental law
of the land in all places whatsoever, so
far as it lies within the power or depends
upon the action of the Government of the
United States TO make it so, therefore,
"Be ii enacted, de-, That from and af-
ter the passage of this act there shall be
neither slavery nor involuntary seryitude
in any of the Territories of the United
States now existing, or which may at any
time hereafter be formed or acquired by
the United States, otherwise than in pun
ishment of crimes whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted"

Colonel Innes.

The following private letter, which we
have been permitted to copy, from one of
the men now in Col Innes' regiment, we
think will satisfy the most skeptical Of
the unmitigated baseness of the charges
made against Col. lines, by the editor Of
the Grand Haven Clarion, and so eager
ly repeated by others, and the malignity
which prompted their action:
BEAR CREEK, Ala, Juno 10.
DEAR MoTHER:-Just as | commenced
writing this letter largo mail came in,
and in it I found two letters for father
and one for myself. In them you said
that Col. Innes was to be discharged, and
some one else appointed in his place.
That may be the report up in Grand Rap
ids, but Col. lines will retain his position
as long as the regiment is in service. !
don't believe the Colonel is to blame for
the difficulty existing, and he is doing all
IN his power to right it. saw Grand
Rapids paper in which was published an
article noticing the dismissal of Colonel
Times. 1t accused him of being a cow
ard and seeessionist, that the men would
not 90 into battle under him and several
other shameful things. The men that
write such pieces are nothing but politi-
clans and are doing more hurt to the cause
than they may think. Instead of being
coward Colonel Innes faces danger as
bravely as any man in the service, and if
you could have seen us fall in at the
beat of the long roll a few mornings since
when two Of our men were shot while
fishing in Bear Creek, and go on double
quick " for the place, you would not have
thought the men were afraid to 60 into
action under him. Men that will SANDER
and abuse a man that is away rom home
and friends fighting for his country where
he cannot say anything for himself are
no men at all.
From your affectionate son,
JAMES M. SLIGH.

"CHARITY sufereth long and is kind"
Woman in all her gentleness, patience and
love may truly be styled an angel of mer-
cy, well adapted to administer to the sick
and wounded in our military hospitals
Sixteen Sisters of Charity left Detroit
last week on an GRAND of kindness and
philanthropy, TO bind up the wounds and
administer to the wants of those far away
from tho care of their own fond mothers
and sisters. The following shows the re-
gard had for such labors of love by the
Surgeon General of our army:
"The Surgeon General of The United
States having expressed desire to obtain
the invaluable service of one hundred Sis
tiers of Charity, company of thirty-fvc
of these angels of mercy arrived here from
the North, on Thursday evening, and pro-
ceeded at once to the st. Vincent's Or
phan Asylum, corner of G and Tenth
streets. Yesterday they departed fol
Fortress Monroe, whore, it is understood,
they will be assigned to duty in the two
hospitals, and on board the transport YES
sells. Another company OF these noble
women will soon follow"

Destruction of the Curculio.

Is kerosene oil remedy against the
ravages of the curculio?
Having tried it extensively on our plum
trees, VIC say emphatically that it is a
sure remedy. The reason so many fail is
in the application. Our mode of admin
istering tho oil is, first catch the curculio
between the thumb and fore finger and
souse him thoroughly in tho oil-wc will
warrant cure in every instance.

WHERE shall we spend the "4thw is a
question being proposed at the present.
Three different ways, at least,are at hand.
One is for our citizens to take the morn
ing train on the d. & M. Railway, or the
Daniel Ball, who advertise to carry ex-
cursionists at greatly reduced rates, for
the Rapids, witness the fine procession of
the military, firemen and civic associa-
tons, cross over to Island No. /, and af-
ter listening to a prayer by Rev. G, SMITH,
give car TO the reading Of the ever glori-
Gus, ever new, and ever interesting Decla-
ration of Independence, by Rev. S. S. N.
GREELEY, and then, 10 ono of the finest
orations ever pronounced, to be delivered
by GEO. GRAY, Esq, Of that city, after
which come dinner and the 'oribleS.
Another way and equally as convenient
and rational is, TO unite with the citizens
of our neighboring village, Mill Point, in
exercises appropriate to the day, and in
the evening, if you can enjoy it, take a
"Trip with the fair on tho light fantastic
toe."
Still another and the third way is, to
stay at ones own delightful homo ana en-
JOY the day and the occasion with the
companion of all our joys, as well as al
our sorrows, and the little patriots, around
ones own friends and festive board, moi
forgetting the fire-crackers, etc., for the
juveniles.

We learn further, by letters of the l4th
and 18th inst, that Gen. Buell. has in
formed the War Department that the reg
iment OF Col. Innes is one Of the most
valuable ones on tho ground, that they
have done an immense amount of work,
and that the loss of that regiment would
be great source of regret to himself and
every General in his command. The
War Department therefore has ordered
Gen. Smith to make an investigation as
regards the pay Of the men, and to report
at an carly period, leaving no doubt but
the men will have such pay as was prom
ised to them at the time they were enlist
ed. Let the cowardly miscreants who
traduce and Willy the brave men who are
fighting our battles be remembered

that have come before that body that
commends him to the regard of all men
DESTROYS to save their country. His opin-
ion on these questions are worthy of res
pect and have weight. He knows the work
ings of the wires. The following remark
is, without doubt, most truthful, and
shows our greatest danger nationally:
"I declare it upon my responsibility rs

Negro Regiments.

No little feeling has Of late existed on
the part Of our soldiery, relative to the CT
forts of some of our uneasy Congressman
to make the negro what many most sci
entifc men declare, from his peculiar GER
ebral organization, nature never intended
him to be, an equal with white man,
an eUery particular, though desire may
exist TO make him such. They, the said
Congressman, are uneasy and nettled, and
try to make their colleagues and the
country generally so, because the Presi-
dent and War Department are slow TO fall
in with all their twistings, turnings, de-
vices and schemes to place the "Contra-
band" on an equal footing with our vol
untcers, armed and equipped as soldiers,
and subject to all the privileges and i'm
munities conferred upon the rank and file
of our own Regiments. The negro, evil
IDENTIFY, has his destiny to fulfill, and the
Government seems thus far determined
not TO burden the Contrabands with
all the cares and responsibilities that clus-
ter around the tented field, as witncsseth
the following:
"Soveral days ago n resolution was
passed by the House inquiring of the
Secretary of War whether Gen. Hunter
has organized regiment of negroes, flu
gitive slaves, etc., for the defense of the
Union. Secretary Stanton has no official
information on tho subject. In order To
ascertain if the information is true, copy
of the House resolution has been trans
mitted to Gen. Hunter TO make a report
thereon.
"The Secretary adds that Gen. Hunter
was not authorized to organize such reg
iment; but, upon his requisition, arms and
clothing have been sent TO the forces un-
der his command without instructions as
TO the manner in which they are to be
used. He has not been furnished with
arms to be placed in the hands of slaves
and black fugitives. AS to that part Of
the resolution calling for the orders and
the correspondence between General Hun.
ter and the Department, the President in,
structs him (Stantop) TO say that such q
report at this time would, in his the Pres
ident's) opinion, bc improper and incom.
patible with the public service"
