Very strange that the infamous editor
of the Times who already ought to know
what He'll means-placed rs he is under

tempt of the patriotic and decent every

tners in guilt Of even foretaste Of what
they are so sure to enjoy hereafter. 1.-The

CHICAGO TINEs.-This notorious tory sheet
is meeting with the contempt it deserves
where its editor is best known. Some time
since it was kicked out of the reading rooms
of the Board Of Trade in Chicago, and its re-
porter forbidden the privileges of the Rooms i.
Not satisfied with the first kick, the Times
through few of it's select friends. moved
a reconsideration of the vote. which was re-
affirmed, with till,,Stronger emp basis Soon
after the action Of the Board of Trade
which is composed of the best men of Chica-
go, The Ladies who have charge of the ''Home
of the Friendless, " by a unamaneous vote,
expelled both the Times AM its reportr from
their place Of meeting. The Young Mems
Association of Chicago, by unanimous vote,
have excluded the Times from their Reading
Room, and also resolved to publicly burn the
files of the past year, in their possession
Such is the standing of the Times in the
City where Il is printed. Its circulation there
and elsewhere is confined to a few sympathi-
zers with JEFF Davis, and such as read it from
curiosity as they would an obscene book, 9th
er ;han from desire to get correct infoIma-
ton, or from a sympathy with its editor
The Chicago Journal says the different
Rail Road Companies are about to exclude it
from their trains, and if it were excluded
from the L. S. Mails it would have no just
cause of complaint.

Interest Law.

By an act Sof the Legislature of last
winter, repeating that portion of the pre-
vious Law allowing interest to be taken
as high as twelve per cent, by special
contract, after the Goth OF the present
month, no more than seven per cent. can
the Law. We have never been advocates
of high interest, but we believe that this
law, if allowed to remain in force, will
have no other tendancy than to drive
capital from our State The present rates
of Taxes amount to about three per cent
aside from the United States Revenue
Taxes. No man having money to loan
can afford to pay the Taxes, and loan his
money at as low rate as seven per cent
interest, and as matter Of cource capt.
tai viii seek other localities where interest
is higher and taxes lower We hope the
present Legislature will look st this mat
ter in its proper light, and restore that
portion of the Law allowing twelve per
cent to be charged by special contract
BY so doing we believe they will carry
out the wishes not only of those who have
money to loan, but those who find it nee
essary to borrow. No man under the old
law, was obliged to pay more than seven
per cent, unless he contr acted so to do,
which of course he would not do unless
he could afford it. Unless the Law is a.
mmended, money will be hssl to find at
any price.

ret been taken, and the general appear
ance was not SO favorable. The fighting
mas been terrible On Sunday it was Sc
verest Batteries and Notifications were
taken and retakef tly-regimcn ts
and brigades fighting hand to hand Our
troops marched bravely up to the fortif~
cations, fighting the rebels over their own
guns
The rebels had about $4,000 men be-
tween Grenada and Ficksburg, and these
have all been concentrated at Vicksbure
Gen. Joe +. Johnston is also there and in
command
Neither Farragut nor Banks had vet
made their appearance below, and from
the movements of steamers the rebels
seemed TO be receiving reinforccments from
Louisiana. The report is that Sherman,
overwhelmed by superior numbers, has
been forced to fail back to the first line of
fortifcation captured, there to await re
Inducements His loss is estimated at 4
or 5000
Tuesday morning the fighting was still
in progress. The 4th Iowa, 18th Illinois,
and Sth Missouri regiments, had suffered
most severely. Gen. Wyman fell while
leading the 18th to charge on battery
The Notifications extend 6 miles back
and the Federal troops had fought over
miles of distance, every foot being holly
contested
Gen. Morgan L. Smith is wounded in
the breast His brother, Col Smith, is
killed
1t is mistake that reinforcements had
arrived from General Grant, as before re-
ported.
The 4th Iowa regiment went into the
fight with 700 men and came out with less
than 80
Gen. c. f. Hovey, of Illinois, dispatch
ed on a special mission with 1900 men,
has not been heard from since, and the
greatest fears are entertained that he is
cut off
When the last boat left, eight trans
ports and fourteen gunboats were up the
Aazoo.
Our greatest loss was in the 18th Iowa,
which lost 600 men in killed, wounded and
missing.
Nothing has yet been heard from the
forces below, nor can we learn that the
gunboats have taken any part in the ac-
ton.
From the movements of rebel steam
er from the city to the Louisiana shore,
it is supposed that the rebels are crossing
reinforcements, and it is not improbable
that General Holmes is there, as the last
heard of him he was marching in that di
rection.
The fighting over bayous and rife-pits
continued till Monday at 2 2. NJ, when
the 18th Iowa, Col Williamson, supported
by the 18th Illinois, charged upon the
works of Walnut Hill, consisting of five
guns, aud carried them.
They were subsequently retaken by gu
Price Sherman being overwhelmed by
numbers, fell back slowly, on Monday eve
to the outer works, intending to renew the
fight more vigorously on Tuesday.
