GENERAL ORDERS NO. 10.
With deep grief the commanding Gen
eral announces to the army the death OF
Lieut. Gen, Il. j, Jackson. who expired
on the 10th inst. at 3:l5 p. M. The dar-
ing skill and energy of this great and
good soldier, by the decree of an all-wise
Providence, are now lost to us; but while
we mourn his death. we feel that his
spirit still lives. and will inspire the
whole army with his indomniable courage
and mistaken confidence in God as oul
hope and strength. Let his name be a
wAtchword for his corps, who have fol,
lowed him to victory on so many fields
Let the officers and soldiers initiate hi,
invincible determination to do every
thing in the defence of our beloved coun
try.

Poor Gov. ANDREW, Of Massachusetts,, has
more trouble with his one black regiment than
he has had with all of his white ones. He did,
indeed, get into a controversy with Gen BUT
LEn, and was beaten, but the volunteers were
not respon sible 70 r that. The negroes who
were recruited in Michigan and transported
10 Massachu setts are now working their way
back without fuloughs, and the Governor
has sent agents to arrest and return them
One was arrested in Kalamazoo AMI taken
back in irons. He has proven an expensive
recruit in Massachusetts,. The industry with
which the Governor has work cd to fill up his
regiment shows him to be a perseycring rider
of hobby horse. He has seut agents into
all the loyal aud several of the disloyal States
to make out his number, and alter gathering
them in, one 10y one, with 50 much Of eXer-
ton and expense, to have them desert must
be a severe tax upon the negro philanthropy
They are doubtless hunting for that path de
scrbed by him in his last proclamation a,
the one "hewn out for the ransomed to walk
in, which the vulture's eyes hath not seen
and where the lions vhelp hath not trod,"

ing Address of g, L. Vallandigham to the
Dem ocracy of Ohio, which has just been
handed to us: '..
MILITARY PRIsoN, Cincinnati, OIL
May 3, 1868.
To the Democracy Of Ohio:
am here in military bastile for no
other offense than my political opinions,
and the defense of them, and of the rights
of the people, and of your Constitutional
liberties. Speeches made in the hearing Of
thousands of you in denuncialion of the
usurpatons OF power, infractions OF the
Constitution and Laws, and OF Military
Despotism, were the sole cause Of my ar-
rest and Imprisonment. l am Demo
crat--for Constitution, for law, for the
Union, for Liberty-this is my only
"crime." For no disobedience to the
Constitution, for no violation of law; for
no word, sign or gesture of sympathy
with the men of the South, who are for
disunion and Southern independence, but
in obedience to their demand, as well as
the demand of Northern Abolitionists
and Traitors, l am here in bonds to-day;
but
"Tme, at last, sets all things even!'
Meanwhile, Democrats of Ohio, of the
Northwest, Of the United States, be firm,
be true to your principles,to the Constitu.
ton. to the Union and all will yet be well
AS for myself, | adhere to every princi.
I le, and will make good, through i'm.
prisonment and life itself, ever pledge and
declaration which have ever made, ut.
tered or maintained from the beginning
To you, to the whole people, to TINE,
again appeal. Stand firm! Fater not an
instant! O. Il. VALLANDlGnAM.

The news 7'eosrea during The past
week has tended gseatly to qtaiet The
public mind in regard TO the losses
sustained by cur army in Tennessee
during the recent battles in front Of
Chattanooga That we sustained a
loss, and were compelled to abandon
our position On Lookout Mountain is
conceded, but that we inflicted a Sc
we're loss upon the enemy: during the
engagement is equally certain. Our
forces are now at and around Dalton,
SO miles distant from Chattanooga in
fine condition, and ready and willing
to repel any advance the Yankee army
may make. The severe chastisement
given the Yankee Gen. and his 10, 900
mounted Infantry near Ringgold, by
Gen. Cleburne, compelling them to
make hasty retreat with heavy loss
and burning the bridges in his rear has
forced him to make the acknowledge
ment by his actions that our army,
though falling back, is not despirited,
ana routed as stated IN their army dis
patches.
From our army in East Tennessee,
we learn that Gen. Longstreet rails
ed the siege of Knoxville on Friday
night last, and falling back slowly on
Moristown, where stand will
probably be made. The assault on the
18th failed in consequence of forged
orders recalling Anderson's; Brigade.<
Nothing has transpired in thesar-
my Of General Lee since Meade re-
crossed the Rapidan.
The latest from Charleston states
that the Yankees have ceased firing on
Sumter, and are engaged in riveting
their batteries and strengthing Fort
Gregg eastward

FEEDING THE PRISONERS

The question of feeding the prison
ers in our possession has lately absorb
81 the attention of the Northern peo>
pie and it seems to us is too lightly
regarded by our people. These pris-
oaers from all the informationcin our
possession, have received thesame fare
which is given to our soldiers in the
field which is all they have any right
to expect and if they are not RECALLED
Oh the sunptuous diet found in the
enemy's possession after the first Ma
ssas they surely have no reason TO
complain. The liberty Of sending lit
tie delicacies, not easily procured in
their confined condition, by their
f iends has been customary and was
not Objectionable, but the sending Of
provisions by the Abolition Govern
ment was calculated to be very detri-
mental to the situation of our brave
men who have fallen into the enemy's
hands. AS long as they supposed
their prisoners were receiving the hard
fare OF Confederate soldiers they were
anxious to relieve their condition and
sent provisions for them. This quie-
ted the anxiety of the North and gave
the administration an opportunity to
delay longer an exchange. The idea
that they were starving in our prisons
caused a request to be made for the
parole and sending to them of all pris-
oners in our hands, without an equiv
alent parole Of our men in their pos
session, which was very properly re-
fused, but with the promise that any
thing sent to prisoners would be de-
livered to them promptly. This will
have the effect Of incarcerating our
men in Northern Bastiles indefinitely.
Let the provisions sent by the Yankee
Government be returned and the
Northern people will be clamorous for
the only relief they can tender prison
ers, that is an equal exchange.
