THE AUTHOR OF TIE PRACE RESOLUTION.
It WIS the notorious N. T. johnson, of
Ga1ena, who offered the resolution No. % to
the selfconstituted committee Of the Demo-
cratic mass meeting, and which they subse-
quently accepted, and which was 80 enthusi-
astica1ly passed. This shows that the seces-
eionists had supreme control Of the meeting.
They even carried Storey, Dick Merrick and
Dick Richardson away with them. Richard
son opposed sfngleton's resolution. John
son and Lis friends. 1t il since stated by the
Democrats, were backed by over six hundred
Mfssourians, supposed to be armed. They
were mostly from the western part Of the
State, into which region they hare come to
escape the military Laws Of that place, most
Of them having served as gucrilias or in the
rebel army
sipgleton's resolution, as originally offered
to the Committee, is as follows:
Re&oEred, That the war, in its further continu-
ance being contrary to the Constitution, must nee
essariy part the elements Of Union and hence that
onr d1ty as citizens, our obligations as men, aud
our relations to our common Father, alike demand
the lind, abhotfeat to the humanity and ci1iliza.
tion Of thiR enlightened era and Inconsistent Hith

This resolution was offered bY II. 7. John
son In the selfconstitutcd committee, and only
supported by himself, Judge Vandeveer Of

rejected. Afterwards, at tho meeting In the

OBSERVATIONS.

In Elmore, but little is stirring this
spring comparatively. A. M. Woodbury.
informed US that he had done but little
at his trade, and there is prospect of but
little call for work this season. At the
mill Of Averill & Woodbury., where they
have usually sold 10000 feet of lumber
before this time in the season, they have
not at this time sold as many hundreds.
At Sewells mill on Saturday we noticed
H. Ferrin, of Morristown, after load of
lumber; so we concluded that such prop
erty is cheaper there than in Morristown
though we supposed that town had mills
enough to supply her own people.
In Johnson something is being done in
the way of repairs, though we don't no.
tice any new buildings going up. Chang.
eS of property take place occasionally
ID. G. Holmes is selling out his tin shop
and stove trade to Burr J. Austin, who ID
to continue the business. Mr. Holmes pro.
poses to give his undivided attention to
the Drug business hereafter, and intends
to build store in which to offer these
indispcnsables to the public. DR.. Berry,
we notice, is on the opposite side of the
street from that of last year. and is fit.

We noticed improvements in other local.

to be indications on the Rappahannock
we have nothing new this morning. An
intelligent Virginia Unionist, just from
the vicinity of Culpepper Courthouse, re
ports to US that week ago there were
bodies of troops from Fredericksburg,
gathering there, and that it is the gene
raj opinion of the residents that Lee will
soon make push for the Potomac. Gov.
Curtin also is in Washington, urging
measures of defence for Pennsylvania, in
view of contingencies, and offering to the
Government heavy body of Pennsyl-
vania troops for limited period of SER
vice. Whether the Government will &C
cept them or not, he will keep the regi-
ments efficient and ready to be called in
to the field at days notice Military
spectators, however, aft rm that we have
an abundance of troops now in Western

Carleton. the father of Georgt Carleton,
and the widow is to move acos the way.
At the Boro, there was the usual stir
about Macoy's steam mill, whi;h. by the

the blacksmith shop and the residence of
Mr.. Macoy, have all passed into the hands

out of the service this year from infrm
health. Across the way from the mill,
just above the church. Mr.. Citing. we
believe, is putting up new hoise. We
noticed no other changes, as GU. stay was
short, only sufficiently long t. to take a
look at outside matters, and get good
dinner for self and horse at Seeger's Ea-

yICKSBURGH.

The correspondent of the St. Louis Re-
publican writing from Vicksburg, Satur-
day the ed ult., gives the best idea of
the relative positions of the two armies
of any that we have seen. also favorable
guess of the chances of Gen. Grants sue
cess:-
Will Grant take Vicksburg? Decided
ly yes. The dangers of his superb, ro-
mantle campaign are past. While march
ing from Grand Gulf to Big Black, by the
way of Jackson and Bolton, his progress
was brilliant but pclilous. A single mis-
take or disaster might have overwhelmed
his army with remediless ruin. But the
mistake was not made, the disaster did
not come. At Port Gibson, at Raymond,
at Jackson, at Champions Hill, midway
Hills, or Bakers Creek, the battle has
three names,) and at Big Black bridge,
our brave veterans of the West drove the
rebels before them like sheep. Johnston
retreated northward from Jackson, and
has not yet joined the Vicksburg insur-
gents. Pemherton went out from Vicks-
burg to capture Grant, with GO pieces of
artillery-he fed back with three. Now,
how can Vicksburg fail to fall? The
ground in the rear of the town is q vast
plateau cut by a thousand ravines, great
sheet of little hills On half circle of
hills, about two miles from the heart
of the town, are the rebel defenses. On
an exterior half circle of hills, just as
high, lies our army, its artillery occupying
just as commanding positions as that of
the enemy; while from the Yazoo we can
get all the supplies we need. The seven
siege guns which the rebels left at Haines
Bluff, on the 18th, when Sherman march.
ed in between that height and the city,are
probably by this time turned against the
rebel works. But some say that Johnston
is coming up in our rear. He may come
now if he choose. He must come over
those same hills, through those same ra.
vines of which have spoken, and he will
find them the gates of death.

LAWSUITS.

A Juryman who has attended the
county court the present term for the first
time in his life, has come to the conclusion
that he has seen enough of the business,
and expresses his views as follows:
"ln regard to lawsuits although l
have never had the misfortune to be en-
gagged in one, and hope l never shall, what
| have seen thus far has made me entirely
sick of that great evil. Since have at
tended the May term in Hyde Park, in
1868, / have seen already enough to
convince me that it is all very foolish
concern. 1t is only feeding the lawyers
and making men still very much worse off,
Now friends, just look at this one thing
the money that is spent in law. I do not
wish to say there is no need of having
any lawsuits at all, for think there is a
set which it isvery hard to get along with,
unless you show them what virtue there
is in law; but | think it would be very
much better to give the money that is
spent in law, foolishly. to the poor. Now
let all those who are preparing to go into
law, sit down and count the cost. and then
do as you please. But my advice is, keep
ont Of tie laao. ~

EB The correspondent of the Ha,,1
dating near Vicksburg the ODD, saws Ill.,
is the fourth day that Gen. Grants ,,ns
has been around Vicksburgh. pu,in,
that time there have been daily ba.tl.a
and cannonading. At least 1000 Of or
men have been placed hors du COW
bat in several charges ordered agaiDt fl,
rebels earth works. During the ,,.t
night the gunboats and mortar boat, n
front of Vicksburg, kept up continual
fire, and several buildings were burned Nv
exploding shells.
At eight o'clock this morning the can
nQnading commenced along our entire lin.
From every hill top in front of the on.
mys works cannon played upon the rob-.
els The rebels were powerless to reDlv
as cur skirmishers were close to the wo,L.
who unerringly picked off the rebel pnn.
ners. This cannonade continued two,
hours, when Smiths, Cars and Osar
haus' divisions charged through mut,
derous cross fire, close up to the rebs,
works. where an impossible ditch with
sharp stakes was encountered. Our men
planted their flag directly in front Of The
Fort, and then couched down behind tho.
embankment out of range of the rebel
fire. The rebels inside the Fort cou)d
not show themselves above the pararet
without meeting death from our sharp.
shooters, and could only effect anything
by cutting off the fuses to shells, lighting
them and rolling them over the slope of
the embankment. Subsequently our boys
with picks and shovels dug a breach into
one Fort. and then took it. One Fort
was CALAMITY taken by storming, by Cars
division. During three days we lost five
officers killed, including three Colonies,
and so wounded. Steel's forces are re-
ported to have 1000 men.
