abundantly evidenced BY his promotion to q

Military Partisanship, and Attacks upon the
Administration.

The siege and evacuation of Yorktown have
furnished occasion, if not material for the revival
of attacks upon Secretary Stanton, and through
him upon the administration, and President Lin
coin as Commander-n- Chief, for having inter
Tered with McC!ellan's plans, and SO substan
TALLY defeated them. The New York World
has the following:
But why were the rebels permitted to escape
from Yorktown at all? The answer is at hand
and the time has come when it should be made
public. The rebel army has escaped only be-
cause Gen. Mcclellan s plan was interfered with,
and 10 essential particu lar upset, by the Sec.
rotary Of War. Gen. Mcclellan proceeded down
the Potomac with the understanding shat Gen.
Mcdowell was to follow him with his corps d.
armee. 1t was intended that the operations
against Yorktown should be preceded by the
taking Of Gloucester Point by Mcdowell Had
this plan been adhered to, retreat would have
been impossible. It is ihe Secretary Of War
who is answerable for the escape OF Johnson's
army-a blunder which has deirauded our brave
soldiers Of the glory of that valiant and vigorous
lighting Tor which Mr.. Stanton processes so much
admiration p"
The above gives, with more droctness than
we have elsewhere seen, the precise interference
alleged. The peculiar champions OF Gen. Me-
Clellan, however, do not agree entirely, some of
them, like the New York Herald, claiming that
the result at Yorktown is very desirable one,
as it has saved great loss of life, ana has SUBJ
stantially demogalized and destroyed the rebel
army. We have no desire to discuss this
matter, but only ask that the President and
Secretary Stanton may have the same justice
done to them that is claimed for Others
And we wish it to be also kept in mind that
President Lincoln is the head of his Cabinet as
well as commander-in chief of the army, and
whatever orders have been made respecting the
division of the army into corps de a,mee have
been made by his direction All assaults upon
Secretary Stanton in this regard are assaults
upon the President, and may by and by be met
as was the arrest Of Secretary Cameron, and
the assaults upon the same officer and upon
Senator Sumner, by distict and unequivocal
assumption of the act and its consequences BY
the Chief Magistrate.

The Rebel Situation.

The Union forces are concentrating in
the lower tier of counties in Western Ten
nessec. Immediately below is Tishimin.
60 county, in the northeast corner of Mis-
sissippi, and in it, just twenty miles from
Savannah, is the important railroad point
of Corinth, at the junction of the railroad
from Columbus through Humboldt, Jack
son and Purdy, with the great Memphis
and Charleston road. This seems to be
the centre of rebel operations. To the
west Of Corinlh, the road runs in toler-
ably straight line to Memphis, 100 miles
distant; and northwest runs the road to
Jackson, almost in the centre of West Ten
nessee, where rebel Notifications are said
to be preparing with great rapidity. East
of Corinth the railroads connect with the
importanti.cities and towns through to
Charleston. The rebel line of defence ex-
tends from Decatur, Ala, to Island No. 10,
and it is claimed that there will soon be
rebel force of 100000 on the new line
This is doubtless an over-estimate. Gen.
Beauregard is in command.
Expelled from Corinth, it is supposed
the right wing of the rebels would fall
back upon Grand Junction, the converging
point of the Memphis and Charleston, and
Mississippi Central Railroads, Al miles
from Corinth, and SO from Memphis.

McCook Shelling Columbia.

N.ai,n;n' Ni1,a' Tenn, some forty miles south Of

oriuse over Duck river DESTROYED by the re-

The hrst day they commenced work on the
bridge, parties of the citizens came down to tbe
rlver. on the opposite side, and bidine them
selves. would fire upon the men Mt worf Co..
McCook sent word to them that If h;s ,aan
were again fired upon he would immeJia,aix
commence shelling the town. But these din
ded people, having been 80 leniently dealt with
of late. paid no attention to the threat, doubi :.
less thinking it would not be executed
On the next morning shortly after the men
commenced work. they were again fired upon
Gen. McCook being advised of the fact, inime.
diately recalled all the workmen from the
bridge, and ordered the artillery into position
when he commenced 10 shell the town, which
was continued for two or three hours without
iniermission. baitering down their dwellings
and creating quite din and clatter about their
ears. Concluding that they were then learned
lesson, be ordered the firing cease. and again
sent the worknen TO the bridge, sinca which
time they have not been molested in their Ia
bors. Nothing like bringing the war to the
doors OF the Creeks, 10 teach them civility and
good manners There has been entirely too
much milk-and- policy extended to these
ociuded fanatics to effect any beneficial results

Awful Accident in Mexico.

The Vera Cruz correspondent of the
New York Tribune says:
Considerable sensation has been caused
in Vera Cruz by an swful catastrephy
which took place some eight leagues GA
miles) from Orizaba. The writer does not
remember the name of the town, and is
altogether very indefinite. A portion Of
the Mexican army, which had evacuated
Orizaba, had eucamped in this nameless
town somewhere y within a circuit Of 25
miles Of that city, aud on the night Of the
5th-"doutless through accident@-their
powder took fire and caused terrible ex-
plosiop, demolished the barracks; 1900
men, dead aud wounded, have been taken
from the ruins.

Disloyalty in the Churches.

''Oliver," our Washington correspondent,
has briefly referred to the secession sympa
thy existing in some of the churches at the
Federal capital. There is evidently much
need of wedding out the disunion tares in
Georgetown as well As Washington. In
both cities, numerous families withdrew
from the Episcopal churches during the
reading of the special prayer issued by
Bishop Wittingham, of Maryland, render
ing thanks to Divine Providence for the
progress of tue Union arms, and many
who took part in the disgraceful scenes
have members in the government offices.
Some of the vestry of Christ Church,
Washington, requested the clergyman Of
ficiating to omit the Union prayer, and the
fragrant case of secession sympathy has
been reported to the Provost Marshal. 1t
is stated that unless worship at Christ
Church can be conducted in accordance
with the loyal requisilions. of the Bishop
of the Diocese, it will be closed. There
is talk Of following the examples set by
Gen. Halleck, at St. Louis, and admins
teriDg the oath of allegiance TO the pastors,
the vestry men, the choirs, and the lead
ing Pensioners suspected of secession pro-
clivities. 1t should be dono in Washing
ton and Georgetown.
The Methodist preachers in Baltimore
who have withdrawn from the Baltimore
Conference, have taken steps to establish
rebel, pro slavery church. They are
holding meetings under the auspices of
Rev, E. f. Basey and Rev. A. w. Wilson.
Rev. Heury Slicsr, the old war-horse of
pro-slavery Methodism, Chaplain of the
Senate for many sessions, has been degra-
ded by the East Baltimore Conference
from Presiding Eldership to the charge
of Seamen's Bethel, salary, S4O0 year.
This is regarded strong sign of anti-sla-
very reaction in the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Maryland.

Gen. Fremont,s Staff

The Washington Republicam makes the fol-
lowing mention Of tho staff of Aajor-6eneral
Fremont: r.a ~s U-
"None Of the Californians who were upon
General Frenont's staff in Missouri have places
upon that which goes with him TO the Mountain
Department. Among the officers assigned to
General Fremont's CON mand is Col. Figyelm-
esy. a Hungarian, who, like MAJOR Szabad, came
here with the best Recommendations. Col. +.
is well known cavalry officer, having COM
menced his military career in the Hungarian
war Of 1873; he was at one time the aid-de-
camp TO Kosscth; and be orgasized and COM
manded q hussar regiment during the Garibaldi
war in the Two Sicilies. which became particu-
larly distinguished by its gala. conduct. and
which was the great fayorite Of that wonderful
General. Major Szabad, we believe, has also
been detailed TO the same service" sE

Q.uantrell Killed.

We learn by the Leavenwotth Times
that Quantrell, the notorious guerrilla, and
the terror of the southeastern. border of
Kansas, is dead. A detachment of the
Second regiment, under Major Pomeroy,
succeeded on the 23d in surrounding a
house near Kansas City where Quantrell
and some of his men had taken refuge
They set fire to it, and two of the rebel
party werekilled and five surrendered. The
prisoners said Quantrell was in the house
and badly wounded. He, with three 9TH
ers perished in the flames. Major Pome-
roy was shot through both thighs, though
not fatally wounded.
Quantrell was the leader of rebel gang
that company of the I'd Ohio cavalry un-
der Lieut.. Nettleton flogged some time
since in the streets Of Independence.

wA curious state of affairs must exist

~A curious state of affairs must exist in
camp Chase by all accounts. Rebel officers are
allowed the freedom of the Capital, and spout
treason about the streets as though they were
not prisoners of war and under obligations to
the Government for the privileges of parole
while the less fortunate prirates; confined to the
camp. hold some seventy odd negroes as slaves
and refuse to permit them to be detailed TO
hospital duties, where their services would be
valuable. Inasmuch as these regroes are not
fugitives, and are in camp by no voluntary act,
would it not be as well TO give these fellows 10
understand that upon the soil of Ohio every
man is free? By what right OF law arc they
held and treated rs slaves?

A FortY-Firster Enthused.


Capt.. John w. Steel writes from Nash
vile that the Union forces were generally
received with coldness, but he appeared TO
have been in rare luck. We quote from
bis letter of March 18th in the Lorair
County News:
One young lady waved piece of mu
sic at US with the Union Flag on its front
after we had passed her short distance
the column halted, and l, anxious to find
a young lady who was in for the "Union"
went back and made call. Her mother
came 10 the door and invited me in. In
the ball l found the "star spangled banner
hanging from the wall, The old lady told
me it had not been taken down since the
trouble broke out, and should not be.
Co. E gave them three times three and
tiger gusto and Steel ''hollered" louder
than battery of forty-eight Founders.
This is the only family of-ont and out Uu-
ion people have seen-of course there
are Others but very few.
The following shows that the Ohm boys
are equally wide awake on train. Capt.
S. writes:
Feb. 9th. l discovered the train on
which Gov. Harris ran away from the city.
Gen. Nelson gave me detachment fir ON
the 9th Ohio of -four companies and COM
pany of cavalry, and went after it. We
found the locomotive taken apart, but an
engineer from my company found the
parts and put it together, and we got up
steam and took it with three cars to the
city.

into Nashville after we took the city,
Perhaps the old whistle didn't blow some
