General wheeler ON tke Grand Round.
He Sinks one Gunboat and Fire Transports
Prisoners Captured and Stores Destroyed.


From the Shelbyville (Tenn) Rebel BAnner.l
General Joseph Wheeler who during the past few
months by his distinguished services in the advance Of
the army Of Tennessee has rendered himself one Of the
famous cavalry leaders Of the age, has again been
achieving fame and ssriousy gripping the enemy.
Jaded and weared both horses and men were after
the unexa led services Of the bait week at Muir
freeboro they succeeded In holding in allegiance the
enemy for several days after the evacuation engaging
him at Hendersons Monday, and finally resting st
Beech Grove. From that point General Wheeler left
for 'paTts unknown passing through Esgleville on
Sunday last Since then he has not been heard from
until yesterday, when courier arrived who bore dis
patch from him announcing the mylete Of his
secret expedition
Oa Thursday asst the 18th, Gen. Wheeler with his
command reached the mouth Of Harpeth, on the Gum
berand river, opposite the fsmous Harpeth shoals.
There he awaited the developement Of events Very
soon fleet Of steamboats, laden with supplies for the
Abolition forces Nashville approached, conveyed By
two small gunbOats. Gen Wheeler immediately dis
posed his force for an attack His battery let Loose
upon the startled steamers, and the capture Of five
steamers and guubost was soon Effected The
other gunboat succeeded escaping, and steamed
rapidly toward Nashville.
This Is q severe blow to the enemy. They will
discover that their river navigation is uncertain
as that by railroad especially when such active
manders as Wheeler, Morgan aud Forrest are making
the grand rounds

is next accusation, was frat preached under Free
Soil auspices when Mr.. r. was Free Soier, and
it was bis belief when the party to which be then
belonged sought in its name to teach that there
were laws " higher" more sacred, more in har-
mony with everlasting truth, than the fugitive
slave enactment Of 1850. And il was for ridi-
culing this higher law that Mr.. Redfeld de-
nounced Webster then, saying that in so doing
he had made !" the saddest mistake Of his mistake
on life." But Mr.. r., since then, has swept
through the whole arc of oscillation to the oppo.
site pro.slayery extreme, and now stands with
the Seymour party Of New York, that calls the
anti-draft rioters my friends" installs the ca
prices and passions Of men above the laws Of
Congress-" and nstigates citizens to trample the
constitution and laws of the land under their
feet" to sack and murder and burn, dashing out
the brains of innocent children and harmless
men on the rugged pavsments OF New York,
with more than savage fendishness burning their
victims and treating with inhuman ferocty every
person Of African descent who appeared on the
streets of the mob-rued city the party whose
" watchwords are denuncaton "of the lawful
authorities in the nation, and whose inspiration
is hate Of the only loyal race in the insurgent
States.
But we forbear to follow Mr.. Redfeld's speech
further and we should not have given 20 much
space to it had be not been principal actor in the
Free Soil party, and furnished in bis own political
history an example OF the sins he now SO sanct-
monionsly denounces. And the party With which
he is acting to day, in its red-handed4 mob yo-
lence, has furnished in one month, more startling
exhibitions of the political heresies he condemns,
than the Anti-ssyery party, even in its most ex'
cited moments has exhibited in the last thirty
years.
The natives Of Australia have weapon which
is called boomerang, and which, in the hands Of
those skilled in its use, is quite efficient bat the
weapon is so peculiar in its movements that, un-
less thrown with the utmost care, it often comes
back and wounds the warrior who hurls it. And
it occurs to US that the weapons Dir. Redfeld en-
ploys against the Union men Of to-day, are quite
after the boomerang pattern, and that he has not
yet acquired skill sufficient to hurl them without
doing infinite damage to himself and bis friends.
He had better leave them to the Seymours and
the Woods, and the men who have not now, and
never had any political character
