JACKSON, MISS.-Jsckson, the capital of
Mississippi, which has beer captured by Gen
Grant. contains a beautiful state house, erect
ed at cost of half million of dollars, the
executive mansion, the state lunatic asylum,
the penitentiary, sundry churches and three
or four newspaper Offices. 1t is, or was be-
fore the war, the centre of large and iu-
crative cotton trade. About $4,000 bales
used to be annually shipped from there. The
population, according TO the last census, was
about 5000.-BcstOn Journal.
Delegations from New York have visited
the president to ask for the appointment Of
Fremont and Hooker to the command of the
army of Potomac. The president heard
them courteously but will try Hooker again.
Col Grierson said TO Gen Shepley, after his
wild ride through Mississippi
81 tell YOU, general, no one can pass
through that country without knowing thatthe
confederacy is broken up; il is mere shell
with nothing in it. The negroes are not
working, but flying from place to place. We
met manv with handouts on, and released
them. Their crops of this year cannot be
realized. and the whole slsre system IS utter
ly demoralized in the state of Mississippi.
Alex. Stephens, of Georgia, is still hope
ful for the rebels, provided they are led by
men of consummate ability, and can obtain a
proper supply of food and clothing" That
looks very much like giving up. Con-
summate military ability will not furnish
/ food; there are no able bodied white men TO
raise it, as the consumption embraced all
between fifteen and siXty-fve years of age
and the slaves cannot be relied upon.
/ The Independent of the 18th, is devoutly
thankful for the existence OF the Allegheny
mountains, natural barrier which has pre-
vented the influence of Washington from
reaching and parslyzing the movements of
our armies in the West 1t is inclined TO
lay all the i'll success of the army of the Po-
tomac, to the fact that it has not yet got
more than twelve hours travel distant from
Washington.
! Gen Mcclellan has been honored BY
a resolution of thanks, from the city govern
ment of Washington. for his services In the
defence OF the national capital. At the in
! terview with the com mittee from Washington,
I Gen. Mcclellan declared his conviction that
there was as purpose by the rebels to capture
President Lincoln before his Inauguration,
and TO seize the capital-wh:ch in his opinion,
would have been effective for the rebels as

No Buying Off from Conscription.
SECRETARY STANTON TIMERS THE LAW.

SECRETARY STANTON TIMERS THE LAW,
The thirteenth section of the CONSUMPTION
law has received new Interpretation. On
the representation Of influential citizens O,
Illinois, that the acceptance of $500 from
drafted men, in lieu of service, throughout
the West, would degenerate the enrolment
measure and defeat the intent to raise an
army. secretary Stanton has decided that the
section was permissive, and not mandatory
that it is optional With him to receive the
money or reject it; that he is not a national
treasurer; that he gives no bond for the safe
keeping Of money; has no financial officers
under him; has no means of enforcing Sc
curlty for the immense sums his subordinates
would receive on this Communication of mill
tary service, and has no time to 60 into the
business of hunting up substitutes. Solicitor
Whiting, of the war department, is under
stood TO concur in these views. The Presi-
dent is also understood to concur in their
awfulness and policy. The clause of the
act selling exemptions at $500, therefore
will practically be ignored Conscripts will
either be left to hunt up substitutes at their
own price or the plan will be adopted of cal
ling for an equal number of volunteers at the
time the draft is ordered to be accepted on V
as substitutes for drafted men, and receive a
government bounty of 500, and the con-
scripts price of ex emption besides.
The above announcement was positively
asserted by Washington dispatches on Mon.
day, and on Tuesday it was just as emphati-
cally denied. Our readers car believe just
which they please

men, therefore, the battles resulted substan-
tally in drawn game. We evidently lost
largely in muskets -the rebels say fifty or
sixty thousand-anG the soldiers left great
numbers of overcoats ana other articles be-
hind. Which side took most cannon is still
a mooted point. As to the only other i'm
portant matter going to the estimate of the
general result, our army was driven into a
bad position, and compelled to retreat with
out accomplishing the object for which it
crossed the river. Such are the leading facts
as they now appear.

SIXTH REGIMENT

A Washington letter to the New York
Commercial states that the condition of the
army is daily improving under the very pleas
ant weather of the past few days. The quar-
termastess are looking up the losses of arms
and knapsacks in the various regiments, brig
sdes, &c, and find that they have been very
large, much greater perhaps than on any pre-
vious retreat. This is to be the more re-
GREETED as they will prove to be of almost in
caculable value to the enemy. Aside from
the muskets and blankets, the loss of KNAPP
sacks will be most severely felt. In addition
10 the forty rounds of ammunition in the car
Iridge boxes, forty more were placed in the
anapsacks which were thrown away in the
held, thus being of double use to the enemy.

creation of the slave into a man and sol.

and the death OF the rebellion. 1t will spec
Oily vindicate its policy by the successful
fruit it will bear.-Such is the opinion Of

MEMPHIS, May l7.-Maj Gen Halleck,
general-in chief Papers of the 14th from
Vicksburg and Jackson report that Gen
Grant defeated Grisss' brigade at Raymond
on Tuesday, the 18th. The rebel loss is adj
nitted il the papers at 700. The next day
Grsss was reinforced by W. ii. T. Walker
of Georgia, when he was attacked at Miss
issippi Springs and driven towards Jackson
on Thursday. A telegram from Canton says
that the Federals had taken Jackson from
the east, probably by cavalry movement.
Gen Joseph Johnson arrived at Jackson on
the 18th, and went out towards Vicksburg
with three brigades. He must have been
west of Jackson when the capture was made
by our forces. The force which fought
Griggs' brigade was from Port Hudson, and
Walkers was from Jordan. Every horse fiji
for service in Mississippi is claimed by the
rebel government to mount their t,oops.-

GEN. HooKER.-The following is speci-
men of the fairness of some of the opposition
journals, which are trying to destroy public
confidence in Gen. Hooker. The Utica OBJ
server has this paragraph, headed, "GEN.
HooKER-DoEs HE DRINK:''
"Says the Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican:
"The question oftenest asked OF General
Hooker is this: "Does he drink hard ?" The
frequency with which men near the General
are piled with questions of this character, sat
isles me that there is widespread belief that
Gen. Hooker drinks too much to have charge
of such an army. Now it is fact that he
drinks-perhaps it NAV be said that he drinks
hard-but he is never in the slightest degree
affected by what he drinks. He is one of
those men who can endure large amount
of drink without affecting his gait or intel
lect."
Will the Observer. asks the Rochester Dem
ocrat, please tell its readers what its object
was in suppressing the sentence with which
the Springfield Republicans correspondent fol-
lowed up the above quoted language-stating
that the reason why "a large amount of drink"
does not affect the 'sgait or intellect" of Gen.
Hooker, is the fact that his potations are con-
fined to water?
