The DESTRUCTION OF CANTON MIss-A
letter from jackson, giving an account of Col
Bussey's expedition against Canton, says:
At five, the forces moved into the town,
which is one of the most beautiful places in
the South, town of about fifteen hundred
inhabitants. The junction Of the Mississippi
Central with the New Orleans and jackson
Railroad makes it place OF considerable i'm
portance. At this place was located the "Dix-
lie Works" containing tweu'y-four forges and
machinery for the construction of gun-carria-
ges and materials of war. This establishment
has been in successful operation for the Con
federaie government. II was completely de-
stroyed by our forces. They tore up and
burned six miles of railroad track in the vi
ciniiy of Canton. They also burned thirteen
large machine shops and railroad buildings
with all their contents, FIVE locomotives. fifty
cars, and Une hundred thousand feet of lumber
belonging 10 the COnfeGeracy, Jackson burn
ed the railroad depot and six hundred bales
of cotton as he was leaving the town. Not
dollars worth of public property was left
in Canton. Colonel Bussey also sent force
Of cavalry and destroyed a pouioOn bridge
over Pearl river. He also burned the rail-
road bridge over Big Black, twelve miles
north Of Canton, with one mile Of trestle work
and The depot at Ways Bluffs.

State to the ether-whether it has IIeen pub !
Iished in your city Democratic paper or not,
am not prepared to say for have not seen
it-but in other parts of the State it has been
given out by the Democratic press. that the
railroad company over which l presided refus
ed to carry the sick and wounded soldiers of
Ohio, returning to their homes 10 different
parts Of the State, for half fare, when other
roads did so. Now in one particular, in the
abstract sense, they might claim it to be true.
But it il not true in this; that it does not
state the whole truth. The facts are these
The military authorities of the State made q
proposition to Us that we should carry the
sick and wounded soldiers at half the regular
fare on the road that the half fare should be
paid by the State of Ohio that the railroad
company should contribute the other half as
their share of the public burden. To that re-
quest We responded, we were ready to do it,
But in that connection they we're to have GER
tain red tape vouchers. They required US to
take from every sick and wounded soldier We
carried, a receipt, showing his name, residence,
company and regiment, together with the dis
tance we carried him, and the amount we
collected. These vouchers were to be returned
to the QuaFtermaster of the State, aud from
him 10 the Psymaster, that the soldier should
have the amount checked agasnit his payroll.
We said, We thank you, we viii do no such
work as thas. We wanted the soldier to have
the full benefit of the reduced rates. Ap-
plause. These men did not go to the sangni-
nary battlefield for the pitiful compensation
allowed them by the Government.
They went to sustain the cause of our coun-
try and the honor of our flag. They went to
protect corporations at home in the enjoyment
of their rights and their property, and it is .
piiiful thing if we, who have staid at home
to enjoy the protection of these gallant men,
can not afford to pay the amount required .
carry them home, perhaps TO die Of sickness or
wounds received in our defense. They argued
that we were wrong. We responded that we
we're right We cut the Gcrden knot by get
ting them to take back their vouchers and pa
pers. We did not want them. We passed
over Eve numbered men on our road afterward
But we did more than that, but l do not speak
of it al having merit in it, because it was no
more than we should have done. We carried
hundreds and thousands of tuns land go do
other railroads) of the collections that were
made by the soldiers societies and sanitary
commissions We carried them free, and, more
than that, we negotiated at the end of our
road for the conveyance to Cairo, st. Louis,
and other points of destination. They were
carried free, and there was no merit in it, be-
cause the men for whom the contributions were
intended were protecting our property from
the inroads of vandals who would have de-
siroyed il if permitted to inva1e Us.

The Chattanooga Rebel of July 25th says:

The Chattanooga Rebel of July 25th says:
Two youths, of the Tenth Ohio Regiment
aged about eighteen years, were arrested near
Columbia, Tennessee, the other day, within
our lines. Though dressed in citizens clothes,
their conduct was so suspicious as to attract
attention. They averred they were deserters
from the Federals on their way home; that
they deserted once before, had been caught,
and had escaped. A citizen Of Middle Tenn
essee identified them as the parties who had
recently waylaid and robbed him Of bis mon
ey and other personal effects. A more thor
ough examination resulted in their cenvie-
tion as spies. Whether as highway robbers,
or spies, or both, they met their just doom at
noon yesterday, near the cemetery in this city,
where by sentence of law, after due trial, they
were both bung.

Last week orders were issued for the return
Of the Sd Ohio boys to Camp Chase, prePar'
atory to resuming duty in the field. A party
Of sOrue ten or twelve in Morrow county as
sembIed at the Cardington depot to take the
train for Columbus. They had hardly arrived
there when a crowd of thirty Copperheads aP-
peared for the purpose, as they said, of clean
ing them (Ihe soldiers) out. Divesiing them
selves of their coats and hats, and armed with
shiIlaIabs. biIleys, &c, they commenced their
work, but failed to accomplish anything more
than the commencement, for it took the 3d
Ohio boys but a few minutes to scatter the
whole gang notwithstanding there were three
TO one against them. The leader of the as
saiants was so severely wounded that he has
not been able to speak since, and his recovery
is considered doubtful.

The military arrangements, however, will con
tinue of the most powerful character; and Sen.
Candy, who commands the Government for

the measures taken by this officer mob could
not certainly live an hour either in New York

drawn to day. The militia are all in their ar

Mr.. BRoUGH AND THE SoLDIERs.-C
scious of the fact tina; the very name of VAL
iandighan is stencil in the nostrils of our
brave and patriotic soldiers, the papers that
support him are making every effort possible
to excite prejudice against Mr.. Brough, the
Union nominee for Governor, and have bad
the audacity to charge that be is not friendly
TO the soldier, and as President of railroad
refused to pass them over his road at half-fare
as other roads were doing. In his speech at
Cincinnati Mr.. Brough replied to this slander,
and his reply is such as to confound those who
uttered it, and at the same time proves him to
be the true and decided friend of our brave de-
lenders in the field, who, if they had TO de-
pend upon the vote or influence of Vallandig-
ham for pay and supplies, would be permitted
TO starve III the enemys country. In the speech
referred to Mr.. Brough said:
There is another point of personal char.
acter upon which 1 wish to say a word. 1
say it not out of any particular regard or de-
sire on my part to justify myself but / wish 10

THE NEWS.

From Charleston we have accounts Of the
commencement of the attack on the rebel fort
i6cations. but nothing indicating the probable
result. Our commanders seem sRnguine Of
success, but it is now manifest that the most
determined resistance will be made, and it is
admitted that since our troops first gained q
footing on Morris Island the rebel defenses
have been largely increased in number and the
old ones greatly strengthened, thousands OF
slaves having been sent in by the planters to
aid in the work. We shall doubtless have III
telligence in a day or two Of the result of the
pending attack.
Within the last few days there have been
reports from Washington of movements in
the Army of the Potomac, and another collis-
sion in that quarter is regarded as probable,
it being supposed that the rebels are aboul
making another desperate effort to take Wash
iugton OF again invade Maryland and Penn
sylvania. These reports are Of course of a
doubtful character, and it is not probable a
Dakli9 VIII oOOu OCCuE uuCSb ASO SAOalu hSc
fit to advance and attack.
There are also reports, and probably well
founded, that Rosecrans is moving toward
Chattanooga, while Burnside is making tOwa I'd
KroxvilIe. A joint movement Of the kind could
hardly fail to be successful, and we hope for a
speedy confirmation OF the report that it is in
progress
There is nothing important from Grants
Department, or from that of Banks. They
both seem to be at present enjoying brief rest
after the severe labor Of their late successful
campaigns.
The draft commenced in New York Wednes-
day morning, and up to the evening of that
day all had passed off quietly. Ample arrange
ments had been made for promptly suppressing
riotous demonstrations should any be made.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Republi-
can gives the names of no less than thirty-four
steamers which have been destroyed On the
Yazoo River and its tributaries, by the rebels,
during the last few months, to prevent their
falling into our hands. Most of them had
been converted into gunboats. Among them
was the former Star of the West. She was
used by the ConFederates as transport, and
was sunk in the Tallahatchee River, near
Fort Pemberton, TO obsiruct the channel du-
ring the Yazoo Pass expedition.

How States and Districts are to be Credited for
Their Quotfs.

How States and Districts are to be Credited for
Their Quotss.
The following, in relation to the credit
which districts are to receive in the dra # for
men already enlisted, puts at rest any ques-
tion in relation to ward aud township quotas.
The credit must appear on rolls at Washing
ton, or it will go for nothing until after the
draft has been made:
WASHINGTON, Aug. Z, 1863
Top. N. BrcOmley d. D. T. Moore, and
Henry Hebing, COmmiHes Common Coun-
Gil Of Rochester.
GENTLEMEN: The Provost Marshal Gener-
al of the United Safes decides that he will
give credit for every man enlisted from every
town or ward in our Congressional District
in excess Of the quota appointed to that town
or ward upon previous calls, and also all per-
sons enlisted subsequent to the 10th day of
November last, when the report Of our Mill
tary Committee TO the Adju.ant General of
the State bears date. The name of every per-
son SO claimed to be credited must appear on
the muster rolls filed in the Adjuiant Gener-
ais office at Washington. He thinks it impru-
dent, on the score Of public policy, to suspend
the draft in any district, for the mere purpose
of settling the number to be discharged
which can be made as well afterward, and be-
fore the men are mustered into service, pro-
vided the proof is furnished before the time
they are required to report.
