THE NEWS.

We have very little additional 10 what
we give under the heading of War News
The last advices from Vicksburg were still
favorable, and a report reached Philadel,
phia on Friday last, that the city had sur
rendered. This has not been confirmed.
There is good reason for believing that
Richmond has ere this surrendered. Gen.
Dix, with 49, 900 men, left Yorktown about
a week ego for its capture, as its defenders
were no doubt few in number.
The situation ofGen. Banks at Port
Hudson was not so favorable the rebels
asserting that his supplies were cut off.
The advices from Rosecrans army indi-
cate the Withdrawal Of the forces under
Bragg from his front, and the former had
advanced south as far as Tullahoma-sit-
uated about thirty miles from the north.

ended on Monday, by the election of I. G.

In this contest, the democrats have resorted
to the vlest means to intimidate the Union
men from voting for Mr.. Callicott, and that
gentleman from allowing his name TO be
used /; but their bluster and threats, SO far
from accomplishing their desired object,
only united the Union men more strongly

The Education OF the nation.

The Major General alluded TO in the fol-
lowing which we clip from the Boston Cons
monmealM, we presume means Gen. Prem
liss of Illinois:
There was stationed at Cairo, at ain early
period Of the war, a General noted tor his
antipathy to, and harsh treatment of slaves.
On one occasion, the soldiers of his camp
gathered about the shore to witness the
struggles of negro who had been washed
down the Ohio river, and was Struggling
toward them. Presently the negro gained
the shore, and stood trembling and entirely
naked before them. A white man shouted
across the river, +" That is my negro, send
him here ~ Some of the soldiers heard a
voice which said, was Naked imprison-
ed, sick, and We ministered unto me-" but
the general heard it not he sent the negro
over, in a boat, TO his owner, who whipped
him with cowhide in sight of the camp
| A month or so later at the battle of Shiloh
| that General was taken prisoner. In !
southern town, lady was insulting hin
grossly, and he sneeringly turned his bacl
upon her; whereupon the husband of thu
lady took cowhide, and inflicted upon The
defenceless Major General about as man,

The Action of the Indiana soldiers

The gallant soldiers from Indiana are
giving attention to the " fire in the rear"
as will be seen by reference to their action,
an account of which will be found elsewhere.
They are resting on their arms at Muir
freesboro, where they recently won bat
tie over the southern rebels, and having
heard of the reasonable conduct Of the
secesh democracy at home, have, with the
independence which characterizes them,
spoken their mind on the subject. 1t is
worthy of note, too, that the leading men
and officers in this movement, are loyal dem
ocrats. Their meeting was held on Thurs
day of last week, in which they denounced
the course of the democratic members Of
the Indiana Legislature, and their speeches
were bold and severe in execration of trea-
son at home,--treason where they had the
right to look for the warmest and most en-
couraging support. These officers faith
fully reflect the sentiments Of the rank and
file from the Northwest, and their mer
will re-echo and indorse their action, hold
ing themselves ready to fight the North al
well as South, should Copperhead Golden
Circle madness render such step necessa
~. Had those brave soldiers been at HON
to vote last Autumn, no such conspirator
would have had an opportunity Of disgrae
ing the legislative halls Of Indiana.

Scene in the Senate.

There was disgraceful scene in the
Senate on Tuesday, caused by Salisbury OF
Delaware, a secesh traitor who Is still per-
mitted to have a seat in that body. The
question under discussion was the bill to-
indemnify the President and others in re-
lation to the suspension of the writ OF Habeas
corpus. Mr.. Salisbury made long speach,
and was called to order several times in the
course thereof. Finally, when censurins the
course of the President of the United
States, calling him an imbecile and by name,
the Vice President called him to order, and
requested him Qhe Senator)t to take his seat.
Mr.. Salisbury continuing his remarks, the
Vice President said if the Senator did not
take his seat he should order the Sergeant
alarms to take him in charge.
Mr.. SAULsBURY-Then the voice OF
freedom is not allowed in the American
| Senate.
VICE PREsIDENr-The Sergeant at

! Mr.. Salisbury was thereupon taken Cut
Of the Senate, displaying a revolver which
he took from his coat pocket.
/ After short time Mr.. Salisbury came
in the Senate again, and began to speak.
i Mr.. Doolule called him to order on the
ground that he had been called to order
. for contempt Of the Senate, and could moi
