five or six miles Of the Mississippi river.
The enemy was taken completely by sur
prise. The rebels who have assembled to
that region will be obliged to move fur
Their back from the river. if not go away
altogether.
Lieut.. Sslfridge divided his forces on
finding transports, which hal been carry
ing stores TO Walkers army. which had
escaped up some Of the narrow streams.
He sent the Monitor and Ratler up the
Little Red river, a small tributary of the
Black, and the Forest Rose and Petrol up
the Tensas. The night was dark. and it
was raining very hard. The Monitor and
Ratler succeeded in capturing the rebel
steamer Louisville, one of the largest and
perhaps the best steamer on the western
waters.
Up the Tensas, on one OF its tributaries
the Forest Rose and Petrol captured tho
steamer Elmira, loaded with stores, su-
gar anil rum, for the rebel army.
Finding that the steamers which had
conveyed Gen. Walkers army had re-
turned up the Washita. the expedition
started up that river, and came suddenly uT

them on fire. and they were consume l.

The Pro-Slavery Party of the
North.

From the Montreal Witness, July 81
The great Democratic or pro-slavery
party of the North, now generally called
Copperheads. and. until the defeat of Lee,
glorying in that name, has, probably. re-
ccived fatal blow from the New York
rists. l. was strong enough last fall to
elect Seymour, Governor of the State, bnt
after his open sympathy with the rioters,
we doubt II be could obtain any votes
were the election now to take place, ex-
cep. those OF the rowdy class. unhappi-
ly too numerous, but not sufficiently so
to carry an election alone. The wealthy
men connected with the Democratic party,
and they are very numerous and very
wealthy in New York. Albany, Buffalo,
&c. must have felt very uncomfortable to
sse the thieves and cut throats Of New
York let loose under the auspices of the
party to which they belonged, and urged
on BY the papers which they sustained
Hal the enormously wealthy members of
the Democratic pro-sl,very party had their
banks. stores and palaces sacked, their
eyes would have been still better opened,
bat the danger probably came near enough
to induce them to avoid repetition of it.
The game Of pretending loyalty to the
Uaion and determination to press the
war whilst resisting the Union Govern
ment. loudly condemning its supporters.
aud sSmpatbizing With the rebels. must
be, nearly played ont. Where ell the con-
demnation Is for the Abolitionists of the
North. who are the ftaunchest supporters
Of the Federal Government, and none Of
it for the Shareholders of the South who
are in arms against it. tho LOYALTY is of
kind which any government might we'll
dispense with. The Roman Catholic Irish
too. tho iavsrisbls supporters Of the DEM
ocratic pro-sIsvsry party. and the bitter
hsters OF negroes. must have lost much
ground Ia public estimation from the
prominent past they took in The riots.-.
In fact the reaction which the three DAYS
of July IN New York must have occasion
ed in the public mind, may probably yet
provsa great element of strength to the
Federal Government and Republican OF
snti'slsvsry party. The inhuman and
dastardly persecution of colored men al
so by this mob. will. probably, turn pub
lie opinion moro in their favor than any
event OF this war. or rather. revolution.
for Z revolution it must necessarily be, all

Dear Sir-I have just this moment returned
from Washington. and found your letter of the
10th ult reply hurriedly, but satisfactorily to
myself. There can be no question that chapter
twenty three of Acts Of 1863 makes such unor-
ganized counties municipal townships of the
counties to which they are attached for all other
purposes than tloee contained in the "proviso. -
Such specific exemption does not affect the
general rights or liabilities Of such unorganized
counties, but entities them to every privilege of
a township. and subjects them to every liability.
except as exempted in such ''rroviso." Respect
fully. W.. W. GUTHRIE. Atty Gen.
