been Carried out. would not only. have
prevented the disaster, but would have
caught Jackson. Ourspecial dispatches
state that all the field officers of one
brigade, and several of another, that
fought at Port Republic, have signed an
address to Secretary Stanton demand
ing the removal of Shields. The feel
ing against the latter, at Washington, is
very strong. An investigation will be
bad, of course. rr-E -,7
There are now 6fty-seven hundred
sick and wounded soldiers in the hospital
at Washington. There will be accom-
modations this week for seven thous-
and more.
A new order has been issued by Sec
retary Stanton to encourage enlistments.
Two dollars head premium and a
months pay in advance is offered
The best inducement that could be Of
fered to cur patriotic men, would be an
assurance that they are to be used to
fight and not to protect the rebels. 1t
is useless to disguise the fact that the
conduct of many of our leading Gener-
ais in this regard has disgusted the
people. 1t is important that the Presi-
dent and Secretary Stanton should
know this fact. 1t is better to remove
the pricks than try to kick against
them. The White House imbroglio is /
likely to lead to some important changes
in this line.
We publish the particulars Of a fight
with a rebel battery on White River,
shont ninety miiesfFom the Mississippi.
A ball from rebel gun broke the steam
drum of the Mound City, causing an
explosion and heavy loss OF life,
among the boats crew. Two regi-
ments, under Colonel Fitch, charged
upon the battery and took it with the
entire garrison, without losing a man.
The Mound City was not much dam
aged, and proceeded with the expedi-
ton. A number Of rebel boats are up
White river, and one object of the ex-
pedition is to capture them.
There are reports from various quar-
ters. this morning, of mutiny in the
rebel army at Richmond; OF bitter
feeling against JEFF. Davis; of desire |
on the part of the latter to escape; and
of threats to hang or shoot him. &C.,
&C., all of which would be important
and encouraging if true; but experience
admonishes US to receive these reports
with great many grains of allowance.
