Bad News from Vicksburg...Rebel
Reports.
CAIRO. July 20.

NAlhJs Ouiy <Os
Henderson, KY, was in possession
Of the rebels, yesterday evening. The
confederate flag was flying from the
court house. The rebels were en-
camped some distance out of town.
Their number is not vet known, but
supposed to be quite small. The reb-
els took possession of the ferry at
Newberg, and on Friday, the 18th,
crossed over and took possession of ESQ
stand of arms. Too citizens of Ne,o
berg acted as pilots, and showed great
attention to the nninvited gnests. Az
ter the rebels recrOsst d, both these
men were killed by federal lieutenant.
The same body Of rebels have de
stroyed the lower locks on Green
River, eight miles from the mouth,
said to be very expensive works.
Lient. Col. Foster of the 25th Indi-
ana took $50 men from Evansville ON
the steamer Eugene, and went short
distance up Green River, when he was
fired on by guerilla on shore, who
quickly fled, when the fire was re
turned. The expedition returned
without accomplishing anything.
The hospital steamer d. A. January
arrived here to day with 3l6 sick and
wounded from Helena, Ark. Six died
on the way M; fifty one are disabled by
severe wounds. There are twenty
eases of scurvy.

War Meeting atDetrolt.

"A large war meeting was held i'm De-
troit On Wednesday evening last. Pat
riotic resolutions were adopted, aud adj
dresses delivered by several prominent
citizens of Detroit Of both political
parties. But owing to the disturbance
caused by a set of miserable secession
sympathizers assisted by parcel of
rowdies whom they had Piled with
whiskey, the meeting broke up in
a row. During the disturbance. these
secession scoundrels made dastardlv
attack upon Capt. K. B. Ward, and il
was only by the most active exertions.
that he was saved from their fury.
This is disgrace upon the fair mama
OF Detroit which should be instantly
wiped out, even if every one of the
secession sympatliizers who ins,igated
the disturbance had to he wiped ont"
10 accomplish that end. Snch men are
unworthy of the name, or the benefits
of American citizens, aud shonid not
be allowed to line under the protecting
agies of the government they richly
deserve the halter.

The Imputarion on Gen. Banks.

The following is the letter of Major
Gen. Banks to Mr.. Gooch of the House
of Representatives, relating to the
resolution of June 16, offered by Mr..
Voorhees, of Indiana, directing the
Committee on the Conduct of the War
to inquire whether persons of color
were allowed Government transporta-
ton on Gen. Banks retreat from Stras-
Sprg, while white people, including
sick AND wounded soldiers, were COM
PEELED TO walk, and which letter Mr..
Gooch asked unanimous consent to
read last Monday, when vote was
taken on the preamble to this reso'2-
ton, but objection was made by Mr..
Voorhees, and others of the opposition.
We think the traitor member from In
diana must, if not destitute of feeling
have felt the blush of shame pass over
bis face when he read the letter.
WINCHESTER, June 10. 1862.
Hon. D. w. GoocH-Dear Sir: In
answer to your inquiry l have the hon.
or to say there is no foundation of fact
for the statement contained in the res
olutiun inclosed to me. No person not
belonging to the army, white or black,
was allowed to occupy or use Govern
ment transportation of any kind on the
march of my command from Stras-
burg.
If any instance occurred, it was, with
one acceptio3. not only without author
ity, but against orders, and has not yet
come to my knowledge. Citizens,
traders, refugees, and iugi,ives were
projected in the occupancy of their own
wagons, and allowed to move with the
Government train in order, and no
further.
The rear guard, infantry and artillery
halted in the rear of Martinsburg from
2 o'clock till evening. When at a con-
siderable distance ON our march, we
overlook a small party on foot. My
attention was attracted by little girl,
about years of age, who was tOddling
over the stones by the wayside, and l
asked her how far she had travelled.
"From Winchester" she said.
We were then about 27 miles on our
march. l requested the cannoneers
TO give her a lift, and the gallant men
who had hung upon the rear of the
column for its defense the greater part
of the distance, answered with alacrity.
No successful efforts were made to
ascertain her complexion, but it is not
impossible that she belonged to the
class referred to in the resolution, and
that her little limbs had been strength.
ened by some vague dream of liberty
to be lost or won in that hurried night
march.
l have the honor to be, with much
respect,
| Your ohedient servant,

CONVICTION, July 1871 p. m.

CIV. FuLros
BoYD's SrATIoN.-Theie were no
bridges burned between here and Gym
thiana at 4 p. M, today, except the
Kelly bridge. Now, there is not sol
der between here and Cynthiana, and
unless you send men to Robinson's
bridge this evening, the chances are
now that there will be 40 bridge there
i'm the morning. Morgan's adjutant
reported at Rankin's hotel that their
force numbered 2,700 men besides
those who lately joined him. A sol
dier of the fifth Ohio, CO, E, has just
arrived from Cynthiana at 2 p. M, lrav.
ing there 1T 70 o'clock this morning,
being pafoTed prisoner. He states
that II. B. Rankin, in Cynthiana, in
formed him that the killed and wound
ed on both sides will amount to $50.
Morgan released all the prisoners on
parole. Two of his cavalry regiments
were about leaving for Lexington, at 9
O'clock this morning. Col. Landram
was not taken prisoner, he escaped
with forty men. He SAYS he heard from
several persons that Capt. Glass was
killed. OPERATOR.

Advancement of Congress.

Congress adjourned on Thursday
last, after being insession nearly or quite
seven months. 1t has been the most
industrious and unflagging Congress
that has assembled at our National cap
itol since the days of Washington, and
has carried through more important
legislation than any other since the be-
ginning of the Government. 1t has
elaborated not only all the great meas
ures necessary to ahe prosecution of the
gigantic conflict against treason-the
laws increasing the strength and pro-
noting the efficiency of the army and
navy, the taxation, and tariff, and loan,
and Treasury note bills, that must fur
nish the supplies, and the confiscation
and other enactments designed to in
duce submission or infict punishment
but also many measures of moment
which had no connection with the war,
such as the Pacific Railroad bill, the
homestead bill, the Agricultural Col
lege bill, the prohibition of polygamy
in Utah, the exclusion of slavery from
the territories, the abolition of slavery
in the District of Colu nbia, the resolu-
ton in favor of cooperating with states
in the work of emancipation, the recog-
milton of 1Iayti and Liberia, the estab-
lishment of a Department of Agricul-
ture, the reorganization of the Supreme
Court, the remodeling of the grades OF
the navy, the prevention of frauds by
contractors, the prohibition of Con
gressmen from soliciting Offices or con.
tracts for pay, and large variety of
enactments of less note. The work,
too. has been accomplished with very
much less than the customary amount
of talk. The debates Ct no session tor
the last generation, certainly 10 long
session, occupy so few hundred pages
of the Congressional Globe as will
those of this. There has been COM
psratively little speechifying either for
buncombe or for party objects. The
discussions have generally run in per.
fectly legitimate channel, and been
practical in all their bearings.
When all the work that has been done
during the session just closed. is taken
into consideration, every honest man
will acknowledge that Congress has
faithfully discharged its duty, and well
cleared itself of all its great response
bilities, and should receive the heart
felt thanks of every lover of his coun

Important MiIitarv Change.

The promotion of General Halleck to
the Chief Command of the Armies Of
the Union is new phase in the history
of the war. 1t comedies at the outset
what is true, that the public have not
of late had full confidence in military
operations, and it will form a sort of
compromise between those who have
distrusted Secretary Stanton, and those
who have distrusted Gen. Mcclellan.
Gen. Halleck is man of mature
age, thorough military education,
writer upon military law and tactics,
and who has shown, in his Western
campaign, that he possesses the capac-
ity to arrange and carry through large
combinations. His campaign in the
West, mp to the evacuation Of COrinth
which lis movements compelled, has
met with unanimous approval for its
success and vigOr. A large portion Of
the public expected something more
than the mere driving of the rebels
from their stronghold at Corinth; yet
it cannot be denied that the flight from
Corinth broke up the rebel army in
the West, which has not made any i'm.
portaEt movement or worthy stand
since then. Gen. Halleck, therefore,
enters upon his duties with high pres
tige.
The same urgent reasons that call
for combination of all the different
corps Of the army, call for single
head and director of the massed forces
for the future. We may now expect
to see our forces directed where, upon
a survey of the whole field, they will
be most useful, without regard to for
mer arrangcments.-Det. Tribune.
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1862-07-24
Startling News.

The news we publish this week from
the Lower Mississippi, comes through
rebel sources, but is of nature TO
cause grave anxiety, even after reason
able discount has been made. That
some reverse serious in itself, if not en-
failing further serious results, has been
sustained by our feet above Vicksburg,
there is reason to apprehend. From
the same rebel source, We have news
from Richmond that the daring rebel
cavalry leader, Gen. Stewart, has again
swept the entire circuit Of Gen McClel-
lan's lines and from the north bank of
the James River below our army and
opened fire on our fleet with disaster tn
the latter. This, coupled with the re-
port that the rebel army is concentrate
ing on James River, constitutes no
cheerful picture.
As regards the raid into Indiana and
Ohio, manifestly, there can be but one
result, for the rebels will be driven
back at the first movement of our
forces, but the main purpose of carry
ing terror among the Union commune
ties will have been more or less at
tanned, and the long coveted moral
effect achieved of raid into Free
State.

ton indicated as / may at any time
deem expetiient, and | am ready to say
now think it is proper FOR our military
commanders to employ as laborers as
many persons of African descent as
can be used to advantage.
The twelfth and thirteenth sections
are something better than objectiona-
bic, and the fourteenth is entirely prop
er, if all other parts Of the act shall
stand. That to which ] chiefly object
pervades most parts Of the act, but
more distinctly appears in the first, sec
ond, seventh and eighth sections. IL
is the sum of those provisions which
result in the divesting of title forever
for the cause of treason, and the ingre-
dents of treason, but amounting TO the
full crime. 1t declares forfeiture ex-
tending beyond the lines of the gnilty
parties, whereas the constitution of the
United States declares THAT NO attain.
der of treason shall work corruption of
blood or forfeiture except during the
life of the person attained.
True, there is to he no forma attain
der in this case, still think the greater
punishment cannot be cOnstitutionally
inflicted in different form for the same
offense.
With great respect, am constrained
to say think this feature of the act is
unconstitutional. 1t would not be diff.
ficult to modify it. 1 may remark that
the provision of the constitution put i'm
language borro we'd from Great Britain,
applies only in this country, as l under
stand, to real or landed estate.
Again, this act by proceeding an
rem, forfeits property for the ingredi.
ents of treason without conviction OF
the supposed criminal, or personal
hearing given him in any proceeding.
That We may touch property lying
within our reach, because We cannot
give personal notice to an owner who
is absent endeavoring to destroy the
government. 1t is certainly not very
satisfactory, still the owner may not be
thus engaged, and l think reasonable
time should be provided for such par
ties to appear and have a personal hear
ing. Similar provisions are not un
common in connection with proceed
ings IN rem.
For the reason stated return the bill
to the House in which il originated.

NEW YORK, July %.
A Fortress Monroe letter of the goth,
states that Beauregard is in command
of sc. 900 men on the south side of

Richmond, to cover the rebel forts.
A Newbern letter of the 18th SAYS,
Hamilton, N. c., was captured on the
9th by three of our gunboats. the COM
m"dore Perry. Ceres, and Shawsheen,
and company of Hawkins Zouaves,
under Captain IIammel, on our side.
1t was defended by regiment ofrebel
cavalry, supported by strong force
ofinfantry and artillery, and rebel fort
which commanded the river. There
were numerous masked batteries along
the river, az also rebel steamer filled
with sharp shooters. While the gun
boats attacked and dispersed the men
in the batteries, the Zouaves advanced
on the town, accompanied by detach-
ments from the gnnboats. The fort
was taken by a charge, and also the
town. The rebel steam err was captured
by our gunboats, whose fire drove her
occupants overheard. We only had one
man, killed hut quite number woun.
ded. This victory is of much impor.
tanee, inasmuch as it clears the way to
Weldon. 1t is impossible to estimate
the loss to the enemy, who it is said left
some forty or City dead on the field.
