TILE SIEGE OF YIOKsRUBG.

correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser wiring
from jackson, Miss, June, LIST, says:
Grant boasts Of receiving heavy achievements and
of his ability to whip Johnston. Well, we will soon
see It Is little in him to thus speak of his Adversary
but after his reply to Buckner at Fort Donelson pro-
pose to move against your works, we may expect any
thing of him,
Five Federal Generals are said to have bitten the dust
Burbrdge is the officer who figured cOnspcCously in
the Deer Creek expedition in visiting houses and help
ing himself 10 sundry articles of jewtlry, DC.
A dispute is exist ing between Grant and McClernand
as TO rank Nobody cares how they settle 1t.
Grant is said be complaining bitterly OF Pember-
ton for shooting railroad spikes at him out OF cannon
Well they are rather uncOuth things to send flying
through the columns of the Yankees They hurt when
ever they hit
From every source of information, good and bad,
certain and uncertain the Federal loss is put down at
from 81, 900 TO 10000. My God, what a slaughter !
Were it not for the fact that this estimate comes from
so many dient sources, should hesitate about whiting
it down and give way TO Incredibly
10 o'clock p NJ Parties just up from Clinton, La,
having left on The 2Sih report that the enemy as
saulted our works for four days, and were badly re-
pulsed; that on the last day Gardner succeeded in
ing his cavalry in the enemys Iear end Simultaneous
charge put them to rout. His men left their entreDcb
menis and with the cold steel greatly accelerated their
movements. The negroes were placed in front, aud
slaughtered without mercy. Perfectly right, only their
who allies should have been served in like manner.
The enemy rereated to Baton Rouge, pursued by our
forces Thus ends the campaign against Port Hudson;

what is Needed.

From evcrv side is heard the stale assertion that the
war is further than ever from its end and that at the
present rate of progress heIs can be no peace until the
Millennium This language has been used so generally
that people act as if they really believed it except IN
this that while their business calculations are based on
the prObabi ty of lifelong war; they are slow in pre-
Daraon to resist the nvasons which INST attend war
of such duration.
Il is not true that the war will last lifetime Even
its present rate the cannot last many years It's
cry immensely ensures its early collapse. No nation
under heaven can keep a million of men in the field
and aaoat for very long period II may appear that
the North doing this not only with ease but with pro-
ht plea ure nevertheless the enormous strain upon
the national strength is telling every moment with the
silent, certain irresistible force of gravity. peace
meeting Of so GOO men could not have occurred mNeW
York twelve or eighteen months ago. Nothing will
come of that meeting, but it is sign.
What we need, and what the Northern peace party
need is great vctory-such victory as we have never
had since the first battle of Manassas. Every repuse oil
the great armies of the enemy has had an effect not
visible on the surface and each successive repuse has
5l,5 IT, force 70 the accumulation Of effect Constant
,rniro of wa.er wears away stone; defeat after de-
feat wastes the energy the hope, the courage of e
enemy. Step by step we have advanced to the right
POSITION for decisive blow. All previous blows have
s,a.ped and weakened the foe; ano her well aimed
well directed blow will carry with it the force OF all
that preceded it, and produce effect corresponding
aud surprising.
Somehow or somewhy in every battle one or more OF
Lees lieutenants have failed him, or sore Pa7t OF his
plan has been frustrated. lie has weeded his army oil
incou petent ,cers but still these failures occur Not
for nothing has it so happened These accidents have
their uses Worn and wasted by two years Of disastrous
pulses, the enemy would now feel the loss OF one
large army more than any previous stage OF the war
II Ho ker's huge army we're to share the fate of Nc
n wells so 900 men on the 2lst of JULY, 1851, we
should see peace not aar of. Give him the men, and
&c will crush Hooker. If he has not the men, they
should be sent to him. Concentration, big battles, Ma
nlronic victories should be the wachword heuceiorih

JUDGE Chiffon Of Alabama.

The Montgomery Adosrtissr, in announcing Judge
Chiffon as candidate for reelection to Congress, says
NO Representative has given or is likely to give less
ground for dissatisfaction than the present incumbent
aud we therefore hope he will be allowed to serve US
again without a contest"
We desire to express concurrence in the opinion
and hope expressedby the Advertiser. The absence Of
Judge Oh lion from the House of Representatives would
be serol loss to that body, His service Repre-
sentative has been marked by everything constituency

more or better influence over the elaboration, aud de-
csions of that body.

ELEXIRLE OONsCIENCEs.

Unquestionaby one of the most demoralz'ng pur-
suits of the tines is the commercial intercourse kept
up by smuggers and blockade runners with the enemy
It is demoralizing in the first place because it leads TO
flsehood aud deception; and because it is violation
of the law and more especially because too often
conducted in the importation Of uxuries it is positive
curse TO the country IL is demorazng for any man to
meet ofcquaty and trade with people who have
lowered themselves to a level with the negro by de-
caring him entitled 10 the rights as the white
mar; who fight side by side with him for destruc.
ton and send him forth, by bribery aud alsehood to
aid in their devish designs
Yeti is common to greet successful blockade run
ner and smuggler a smart fellow, and congratulate
him on his lucky venture. We have heard of more
than one of these mercantile emssaes who have taken
the oath of allegiance to this government and TO the
United States ia pursuarce of single venture, and
who we doubt not would take it as often as General
Scott use TO do, to accomplish Their ga:nful ends
Who can deny that pursuit requiring such devices
demoralizng and damaging to the country? There is
great need Of vigilance the part of the government
10 prevent Illicit commerce, such carried
ON by regular government agents for the supply OF ar
tices of prime necessity Tor the government or domestic
use-Attgastd COnstitutioHdiit.
