The killing Of Gen. Nelson.

Alf Burnett thus writes to the Cincin-
natl Times of the killing of General Mel
son, his account commencing just at the
moment after General Nelson had slapped
General Davis in the face:
"Just at this juncture entered the Of
fee; the people congregated there were
giving Nelson a wide berth. Recognizing
the General, 1 said Good morning, GEN
eral." (At this time was not aware of
what had passed. His reply to me was +;

scoundrel insult me, sir2 1 suppose he
don't know me, sir. I'll teach him les
son, sir During this time he was retir-
ing slowly toward the door leading to the
ladies sitting room.
At this moment 1 heard General Davis
ask for weapon, first of a gentleman who
was standing near him, and then meeting
Captain Gibson, who was just about to en-
ter the dining room, he asked him if he had
pistol
"Captain Gibson replied, 'Ialways car
ry the article, and handed one to hin, re-
marking, as Davis walked toward Nelson,
It is tranter trigger, works light
"Nelson by this time had reached the
hall, and was evidently getting out Of the
way to avoid further difficulty.
q Davis face was livid, and such look
of mingled Indignation, modification and
determination 1 never before beheld. His
hand was slowly raised, and as Nelson ad-
vanced, Davis uttered the one world,

There may be no truth in the report that
General sigel has asked to be relieved
from command, but there is little doubt
that he has received anything but cordial
cooperation and support from many of his
peers in the army, who hail from West
Point, and that he has encountered sufi-
eient difficulties and opposition to induce
most any man to resign. He has long been
the mark upon which the jealousy of a
certain clique of army officers has been ex-
pended. His chief offensc consists in not
being graduate of West Point which in
the eyes of the clique above referred to is
enough to condemn him.
The people, however, who care very lit
tie for West Point, they viii care less, be-
fore the war is over, we opine) and who
measure Generals merit by what he has
done in the field, accede to Franz Sigel
rank in the army of "fghting officers"
They remember the strategy he taught the
rebels at Carthage, the lion bravery DIS
played at Pea Ridge, and the skill he
showed in the recent battles in Virginia,
and the slurs which certain enviOus ones
attempt to cast upon his name, will not be
needed by those who have watched and ad
mired his gallant career.
Let the people look to it that the officers
who have proved their bravery and eff
cheney as Sigel has, and who have shown
that they are fighting with an earnest de-
sire to accomplish the object of the war
the overthrow of the rebellion and the res
toration of the Union-be not driven from
the army through the arrogance and jeal-
ousy of their brother officers, who can boast
Of having been nurtured at West Point at
the Nations EXPENSE point that has been
dissstrOusly scored against the United
States, if the truth may be spoken. We

The Battle of Iuka.

As the details of the great fight at luka
come to hand, it appears to have been one
of siie most desperate and skilfully planned
Of the war. The rebel General Price had
concentrated nearly twenty thousand men
at Iuka for an attack on Corinth. General
G. S. Hamilton frustrated his design by an
attack on his flank, and by mastery STRAIT
egy and bravery drove him from his posi-
ton. The credit Offghting and of the vic
tory belong to General Hamilton and his
men. No General has gone into an en-
gagement with greater odds against him,
no General by his personal exertions in the
field has achieved more, or is entitled to
greater credit. He is in every respect the
hero Of the battle. We write this after
some investigation of the facts, and are
confirmed in the opinion by a number Of
accomplished and fair minded officers with
whom we have had conversations on the
subject. General Price selected his own
ground and formed front of eighteen reg
iments. General Hamilton had front of
only three regiments, and yet, so ably did
he use his small force of $500 men that
he held out against the entire rebel force
for nearly three hours, and final
ly drove them from the field. The
disposition of all the troops preparatory to
the fight was made by Gen. Hamilton, and
all the orders, while the work was going
on, were made by him. Gen. Stanley has
been given the credit of this victory, but
Gen. Stanley was not in command at all,
and only came to the front with one bri-
gade to assist the General commanding.
Gen. Stanley undoubtedly conducted him
self gallantly, so far as he had to do with
the battle, but that was very little indeed.
Gen. Hamilton richly deserves the princi-
pal credit, and he should have it.
He was in the heart of the battle, rally
ing regiments and cheering on the troops.
His horse was killed-part of the hilt of
his sword was shot away; both officers Of
his body guard were badly wounded as
well as two officers of his personal staff
In short the battle was almost, if not
wholly, his. His friends in Wisconsin and
over the country will rejoice to learn the
facts, and will send him their congratula-
ions. To have defeated one Of the ablest
rebel Generals, and an army of nearly
10000 men, in the enemy's own position,
with not over $500 men, is a work of
which the most successful Captain might
well be proud.

Senator Bright recommended a man
with an improvement in firearms to JEFF.
Davis, in the most cordial and friendly
terms. Senator Stark, of Oregon, pre-
vious to his election as Senator, frequent
ly expressed himself as in sympathy with
the rebels-rathsr hoped they would sue
ceed, and declared that they would sue
ceed. Vallandigham has never voted a
dollar to carry on the war nor uttered
one word to encourage enlistments. Ed
son B. Oids threatened armed resistance
to a draft-even to the bloody end, and
never made a pretense of sustaining the
war for the Union. Seymour of Connect
icut, published card, to Indignantly de-
ny that he had consented to the use Of his
name, as Vice President of a patriotic
meeting. Seymour, the bogus Democratic
candidate for Governor of New York,
though a wealthy man, has never signed a
dollar in his own city of Utica, either to
pay bounties to volunteers or to relieve the
families of volunteers, and declared fairly
and squaTely that if the Union could not be
saved without saving slavery, the Union
better be dissolved-in effect, it was not
worth saving if slavery was not saved
also.
Yet not one of these men has ever been
repudiated, disowned or rebuffed by parti-
san Democrats for these utterances, or for
the manifest disloyalty and want of patri-
otism which they exhibit. The men whom
we have named, and a multitude more just
like them, all the way down from the high
est to the lowest, scattered from one end Of
the loyal States to the other, are the lead
ers, chosen and trusted, of the sO-called
Democratic leaders of to-day.-SaHdusky

About three months ago the above named
man. sged sbont tWenty-six, came to Chi
eago 1t is supposed from Cleveland, Ohio.
He was ship -caulker by trade, sober, in
dustrious and greatly respected by his as
sociates. He died Of typhoid fever a few
days ago, and his fellow workmen buried
him. At the time Of his death, he was
boarding at the house of Mrs. Cook. on
Chicago avenue. By reason of the fact
that he lay in comatose state for about a
week previous to his death, his friends
we're unable to learn the exact wherea-
bouts Of his relatives. It is for their ben
eft that we publish these facts. It is be-
lieved that he has brothers and sisters liv-
ing in Cleveland, and also in Euclid, Ohio,
at which latter place it is almost certain
he was brought up. 1t is also believed
that he has relatives living in st. Charles,
Kane county, Illinois. By addressing J..

Il is hardly worth any mans trouble to
expose the Misrepresentation of American
affairs made by the New York correspond
ent of the London Times; but there is now
and then in his letters a falsehoOd so cir
cumstantial and shameless that it deserves
te be corrected. Such is that, we conceive,
which appears in the Times Of September
18th, received by the last steamer. 1t
reads as fOllOws-quctatiOns, italics and
all:
ain his letter to Mr.. Horace Greeley he
1the President7 says: If could save the
Union By destroying the rights Of all the
States tOouLd do Il; and if 1 could save il
bydsstroying he rights Of some and leaving
others alone, IlOOuJd do that"
What the President actually said in the
letter to Mr.. Greeley was this;
HIfI could save the Union l0ithout free
ing any sIaDss I would do it; and if I could
save it By freeing all the SLAVES, tO0uld do IL,
and if could do it by freeing some and
leaving others alone, 1 would also do
thatn
This writer, whoever he may be, must
have known perfectly well, when he pen
ned the paragraph we have quoted, that he
was committing a forgery. 1t suited the
market, perhaps, for which he wrote, and
English prejudice and spleen win find
fresh nutriment in this invention.

| Magnitude of NapOleOn's Mexican Expe-
ditiOn.
The Emperor Of the French is not at all
disposed to back down from his attempt to
subdue the Mexicans. Of course, so long
as he is sure he can ultimately beat the
Mexicans, he responds to the reports Of
French defeat by sending out immense re-
Inducements. He has, therefore, deter
mined on sending out an army of $4,000
men to carry out his designs against Mex
leo, beyond all possibility Of failure. The
following from the Paris correspondence
of the New York Times, throws some light
on this step:
HIf the reports which come to me from
the newspaper offices be true, the Mexican
question is assuming gravity which re-
quires all the attention of the Government
of the United States. The Mexican army
is to be carried to $4,000 men instead of
10000, and this army, for which the pro-
vision contracts have already been made,
is to remain in that country. The engin-
eer who has been sent out with an etat-
major, and material, is not going to locate
a road from Vera Cruz to the cap
ital till after he has located a road
across the Isthmus from the Gulf of Mex
leo to the Pacific road intended to
counteract the Pacific railroad of the Amer
leans. The gravity Of these facts, if they
prove to be true, will not escape the mind
of any one. I am told that until the last
meeting of the cabinet, not more than 50
900 men were deemed necessary to carry
out these projects, but that at that meet
ing further number of at least 10000
more were decided upon. The papers in
deed, have just been, inadvertently, no
doubt, publishing a notice Of the immense
amount of provisions which have been
bought for the Mexican expedition, and
among other items noticed was one of 700,-
600 kilogrammes of biscuit, which tells a
story of itself. All this grand scheme of
conquest and occupation in the New
World, 1 am told, is based on the idea of
offering barrier to the extension of the
Anglo-Saxon race to the South and over
the region which now belongs to the Latin
races. It seems impossible that man of
Napoleon's political turn Of mind could
nurse such a utopia in his breast, and act
ually attempt to carry it out in the face of
certainty Of a war with the United
States but am assured, nevertheless of
its truth, and am obliged to admit that all
the evidence corroborates to truthfulness."

Important Recommendation from Gener-
al HaIIeck to the State Governors.
The following circular letter from Gen
eral Halleek to the Governors of the diff
ferent states, is published;
WAsHNGToS, Sept 30.
From casualties in the field, and from
absence by reason of sickness, many vol
unteer regiments have not a sufficient
number of officers to command them.
1t is important that vacancies caused by
deaths and designations, be filled with the
least possible delay.
The Governors of the several States are
earnestly requested to fill those vacancies
by promoting officers, non-commissioned
and privates l0ho haze distinguished them
selves in the field, OF l0ho haze sho'0n a eapa-
city for military command
Without the hope Of promotion, there is
no encouragement to faithful perform
ance of duty, and no stimulus to deeds of
Valnr.
Moreover, the discipline and efficiency
Of an army depend in a great measure
upon the character and qualifications Of
its officers.
Without good officers, the very best SOL
diers soon become a mere disorderly mob,
the ineffciency of which is increased by
the increase of its members.

car struck the water, and darkness was
coming on. The ballast was all thrown
out, but still the air-ship kept in danger
Gus proximity. Over went the anchOr-rOpe,

newspapers, and was making up his mind
to cut away the car or basket and trust to
the ropes, when the balloon, on nearing
the water, suddenly bounded into the air.
It passed over LOckpOrt and when in the
vicinity of GOspOrt the gas was let of, and
Prof. Ayres made safe descent in a field
near that town.

All is quiet again along the lines on the
Potomac, or supposed to be, and we seem
to be resting from a long and trying
struggle, and preparing for one stin more
deadly. The stern reality that the South
will not only have to be conquered, but sat-
dued, is now accepted by all, as fact and
such fact can scarcely be contemplated
without horror, when viewed in the light
Of the history of the past month.
How terribly they have fought, and how
bravely they have endured their disasters
are matters of history, that better cause
than that Of establishing a slaveOcracy
would be honored by. But honorable as it
may be to contemplate, it is a work that
must Be DONE The fat has gone forth-the
fates have proclaimed it. Jefferson said
long ago that the tree Of liberty must ne
cessarily be watered by blood each cen
tury. It is the blood of this generation
that is to be showered on it, and that is
now being poured out. And the storm is
not over yet; the clouds are gathering
more dense than ever; more blood is to
flow; the tree will be watered, the storm
will pass by. The land may be desolated,
but the tree will be saved; its growth will
be greater than ever; its branches will
cover the '0hoIe land.
Troops are pouring in here every day,
and fine healthy looking men they are.
They are taken on the tented field, and
are fast learning the soldiers duty. They
seem very cheerful yet very earnest. l
have not yet met with many of the Ohio
regiments but l shall be amongst them
soon. am glad to say that no troops have
a fairer fame amongst the soldiers of otlAr
States than the Buckeye boys. The Seventh
is known everywhere and of course every
ments style them bricks" Bricks is
superlstive.
Intense interest is felt here res
Pecting the Congressional nominations.
We hear Of a good many true men being
thrown overheard on the old ride and tie
principle. The cry of the soldiers" send
us good, true men to the capitol-men who
know something; don't send politicians,
send statesmen if you have them; if not,
send US honest men, men who will try to
do something else than fight about Gener-
ais, and set them to quarelling among
themselves" Good folks at home that is
just what you ought to do, and if you don't
you are not only recreant to true princi-
pies, but to those whom you have sent to
fight for them. For what will all our VIC
tories avail if they do not establish right
eous principles They can only be wrought
out be true men.
But 1 am compelled to conclude. In
haste, Nc.
