Again substantial Federal success is
reported from the Southwest jackson,
the capital Of the State Of Mississippi, is
ours, and Jo. Johnston and his ragged
army ere wanderers and fugitiecs in that
part Of the earth. The victory is an I'M
ponart one, and gives Us q point which it
is statcd Gen. Grnnt has decided pe:na~
nently to fortify and strongly garrison. It
will he greatly to the discontinue Of t.s
rebels in the Southwest thus to find tbs
Old Stars and strireA!secure1y floating over
the State capital Of Mississippi. Our map
of the locality gives the situation of jack
Eon on the west bank Of the Pearl river,
orty-five miles from Vicksburg. 1t was
claimed by the rebels that at this point
Johnston would take ample vengeance for
Ticks1,rrg. Either he is in forgivins
mood, or was not in competent condition

wi!'n appealing TO a fullest Of strength,
1a:t'.,;ng to get away without the utter
demolition that they feared awaited them.
A.t,,tion il invited to our correspon-

This issue, which will be found Of unusual
interest. Also, to thelster1ing and able At

Tic Indian news from the Northwestern
border continues to be Of great interest
minnesota settlers are busy hunting red
sliins, stimulated no longer by the inhu-
man bounty On scalps, but by q reward for
each Indian shot, the testimony Of which
act, however, is not longer to be borrowed
from Indian sayagcry. For our authorities
TO b. aealing in scalps, sayors Of the very
barharism their people are in arms to des-
troy. 1t was wise to abolish the atrocious
order
Tic events Of the past week in New
York are already bringing forth salutary
xesults elsewhere. Philadelphia, whose
past reputation for mobs had caused Some
apprehension as to the effect OF the draft
thcre, Is seeing the CONSUMPTION take place
without q trace Of disturbance. Her
rousas arc willing to create resistance to
lie measure, but stand in wholesome
drc:d OF the strong hand Of military
power, New York is quiet and order
restored. Her Copperheads will attribute
The pac;Scation Of the mob to their Official
notion to dcfeat the draft by buying of
conscrirts, but the people will know bet
ter. 1t is simply IN enforced change Of
programme under the same auspices. Had
:he mob becn successful in intimidating the
Cove 1-lnent, there would have been no
med d these heavy appropriations to pre-
vent the armies Of the Union from being
reinforced by conscsipts from New York.
bt:t falling in the first, they resort to the
last. |, is opposition to the draft that ac~
tuatcs these men, and their fellow Copper
heads in Chicago, as well.
An :nti-drnft meeting was held in the
Southwest portion Of the city last evening,
rs reported in our local columns 1t was
called i'll opposition to the draft, not by
violence, but By some association which
shall l,y mutual protection purchase the
exemption Of all from the draft. The men
who ;rc engineering the plan will be con-
tent it not another man from Chicago be
1ddc; to our armies in the field. That's
N1lct's the matter. 1tisless the protection
Of the poor men, tLen the cspousing the
causr Of the rebels they are to be sent out
10 1j:M. The sympathies Of the Copper
heads reach beyond the subjects Of con-
Ec.irtion here, to tie rebels in the field.
Il is Tie threatened " in-the-rear."
Lt:cst adyices report ali going on well
with CIT operations before Charleston,
:21 the crisis drawing near, which can
Lave nut one conclusion The city is
doomed, and cannot long be kept from
our hands.
.:,,tlacr shining name is added to the
list ot honored dead Of Illinois, slain il

costly sacrifices on the altar Of the Union.
