Blunt, the fighting. General, has added
nno,her TO his long List Of Victories, and
Ills time has achieved success Of which
any Gcnc1n1 In the field might be proud.
Since the baltic Of Honey Springs, Blunt
with his little band Of 4, 500 mcn, has been
In prcca1ious situation, where seeming
nnnihilation stared him In the face. The
1ebels outnumbered linn nearly three to
ono. An attack threatened defeat, and to |
Rttempt u rctreat seemed tho signal tor an |
inter rout. In the hce Of st1ch heavy odds,
however, Blunt made the attack with such
fury thnt the rebel hordcs fed inconti-
pently. Blunt pursued them hundred |
miles, burning their conlmissary depot.
Fort Smith is the next point Of attack, and
nc may confidently expect the Immediate
downfall Of that rebel stronghold, and the
complete riddanoe Of the Indian Territory
1rom rebels. :.
orr vicksburg;, Memphis aud Cairo dis
patches arc ample, and full Of interesting
"details as to tho movements Of our own
forces, aad news gathered from rebel fore
rs. 4 panic prevails at Mobile, over the
Threatened approach Of our gallant West
rrn boys. The reported dcfunct Pcmber-
Ion seems to have turned up again, and to
hare been made the recipient Of an ovation
of rotten apples, By the chiyal1y whom he
attempted to address. Gueri]las have
commenced their depredations again along
The banks Of the Mississippi, firing upon
nnarmcd transports. If the end cf a stout
rope and short ehrift were administered
10 these rowing bandits when caught, We
Etould hear little Of guerillas.
The New York banks hare accepted
Secretary Chase's proposition to lend the
Government thirsy sy.dve millions Of dollars,
stipulatiug, however, that the treasury
notes run one, two and three years, and
That, II they ta1;e the first tifIy millions Of
Treasury notcz. the remaining thirty-fve
roillions hereafter to be ISSUED, may be ne
got atcd through>t the banks, if they choose
10 take them. 1t is doubtful II Secretary
Chase win accede to these terms.
The Iowa soldiers in the field arc dis
posed to examine into Gen. Tuttlo's claims
to the Gorernorship Of Iowa, while repo-
bing under the winga Of Le Grand, Bying
ton, aud other Copperhe.ds Of that State.
4 portion of his old command are pro-
pounding to him some leading questions,
which it will be difficult for, him to an
2 ever. Tuttle is melancholy instance oi
political s'~scide. He should hnye ad.
Le1ed to hi1 les n the field.
The news from Charleston presents
nothing decisive, The Monitors seem to
have walked up and: have had terrific
bomba1dment with the rebel Batteries
Gilmore Is "pegging away" industriously
and daily approaching nearer the grant
ronsummation. He takes no steps back
,wards.
