Excepting the day of their Decara-
tion OF Independence, the Fourth of

many generations to come, stand as the
most remarkable and decisive day in
the annals Of the American people: for,
while this day was celebrated in Penn.
sylvania by our victorious army on the
field of great and all important battle,
it was signalized in the West by the de.
feat Of the enemy at Helena, Arkansas,
and by the capitulation of Vicksburg,
the most complete, substantial aud com.
prehensive victory Of the war.
The losses to the rebellion in men
from these defeats at Gettysburg, Hell.
ena and VicksDurg may be briefly sum-
med up as followS:-
Men.
Losses Of General Ia in killed, wound
ed oners and slIagglgrs $4,000
Cupiur,u at Vicksburg $4,000
Kt.lei, wounded Il prison ers at Helena $500
Total rebel losses at these points 03,0OJ
Oar captures at Vickburg also EN-.
GRACE two hundred aud eighteen pieces
Of artillery aud thirty live thousand En-
field rifles; aud ere this there have pro
badly been added to these substantial
results some ten thousand prisoners and
over one hundred pieces OF artillery al
Port Hudson. We may, therefore say
that at the present time the total losses
of the rebels since the lSt Of July will
amount to one.fourth Of all their armed
forces on that day in the field; while the
liberation Of Grants army alone is re-
enforcement to our movable armies Of 9

FRIEND DANIELs:-
We are here yet, guarding prisoners
They keep arriving aud departing every
day. The number in the Gratiot street
prison, where we are, is about 1000 now;
but the number changes every day.
Yesterday l was sent to take some
"butternuts' from the prison up to
the Provost MarshaPs Office, for trial as
guerrillas. We are minute men, not
knowing what hour we will be Gale on
for special duty. We have no drills, as
we are in the midst of the city. Our
quarters are good. Provisions good and
enough of them
Last night we had orders to be in
readiness to march at any hour, as we
may have to 60 to Rolla live 20 there
l do not know when we shall get an OPP
portunity to write again. We are on
the tiptoe for news. If Springfield falls,
as is apprehendcd, we shall very likely
be moved to Rolla in anticipation of an
attack on that place.
Some Of our boys, who, short time
ago were anxious for fight, begin now
to wonder why they cannot be left here
instead of going to Rolla. They remind
me of the Californian who started 10 pur
suit Of grizzly, declaring he would hav,
his scalp or die in the attempt. Blu
after following him for a half day re
marked, that as the track was getting
rather fresh he had better be gettine
back to camp. What they would do in
fight is hard to tell
The weather is very beautiful; no snow
and much like spring weather.
They are building six gunboats here
Some Of them are about ready to plate.

For the Tipten Advertiser.
Ed. Adpcrtiser:-Among the editorial
scurrility with which the Courier Of Mus.
catine abounds, I notice the following
denuuciaty Illumination:
PERSONAL---VERY.. j. Cleghorn, a no.
torious sbolitionist of the most radical
school, man who prsys for an anti,
slavery Bible and an anti-slavery God
and man who has preached sbolitionism
10 the pulpit for the past four years, des.
ecratiog the sacred desk end violating
the sanctity of Gods holy religion
man who makes up 10 knsvery and brass,
what he lacks 10 good sense aud brains
sends to the Journal a report of the
proceedings Of a democratic meeting re.
Gently held at Upton, Cedar county.
Considering the high standing and
patriotism Of Mr.. Cleghoru, aud the grow.
cling character aud traitorous conduct
of the author of the above execration. it
makes it seem about as amusing and eff.
fective as the "Pope's bull against the
comet" When the above "Personar'
was shown to Mr.. c. he smiled and re-
that he had heard Mr.. Thayer's
speech with much patience, and had come
to the conclusion that the above was the
very thing calculated to give him stand
ng among good men; that the fact of his
'eing abused by traitor was sure indi-
cation of his loyalty; that the fact of his
being abused by blasphemer was suffi-
'ient to prove that he did not affiliate
With blasphemsrs. He also said he had
'oticed that Northern traitors loved those
whom Southern rebels loved, and that
Northern traitors hated those whom
Southern rebels hated. I have only to
'ay that the Courier, in charging Mr.. G. |
with reporting his speech, was as far from
the truth as said speech was, and that
Mr.. c. did not consider it fit to be circu.
lated. Try again, Mr.. Curry-er. Pass
the recommendation around J.C.
