From the indianapolis Journal.


In the recent assault upon Port Hud-
son, Gen. Paine fell at the head OF his
brigade within fifty or sixty feet of the
rebel works. He was wounded by a
bullet in the leg, just below the knee,
and fell down under shelter of a small
tree, az the base of a little knoll; here he
lay from 6 A. M. TO ~ p NJ, his men
being shot down one after another as
they attempted to bring him off, not less
than twenty falling in this Grand Of
mercy Two men with a stretcher came
TO him, when one of them, pierced with
q bullet, fell dead at the feet of the
General. Others rushed up only to share
the same fate. Parching in the sun, his
men knew he needed water. A volunteer
crawled on his face with a canteen of
water, and when within an arms length
of him, raised himself up to pass the
canteen TO the General, when a rebel
bullet passed through his brain, instantly
killing him.
The men who thus violated the rights
of war, are the brethren Of Hendricks &
Co, for whom they claim new cOnstltu
tional guarantees, as a means of concilia-
ton. Fourteen of the brave men who
sacrificed their lives in the heroic al
tempt to carry off this commander, were
negrOes, whom the peace party" are
pledged to e~nglsve az soon az the rebel
hon is put down. The blacks are vindi.

The following incidents Of the inva

Johnson and Senator Wright are too

Mr.. Booker's case.
George Booker, State Senator, who
lives at Pagestown, about nine miles from
Harrisburg, has been visited by his
friends from Dixie. He is known as
one of the most violent Oopperheads in
the Legislature. He was the leader in
the movement to forbid Senator Wright
and Andy johnson from speaking in the
Capitol last winter, and has never made
any concealment of his hostility to the
war against the rebellion n his sym.

the repels were coming, he said he did

Certainly rot. 1t is the height of pre-

The wish itself is wicked it is abomi-

and deserves the greatest punishment
imaginable. The fact that a man with
a fiat nose and black skin should desire

the extraordinary depravfty of the Afri-

The Cubans

The Havana correspondent Of che
Charleston Mercury says, that while the
Spanish Cubans are warmly for The South
with the native Oubans the case is diff
ferent. Thousands of them have been
educated in the Northern States and have
imbibed in the Yankee schools not only
admiration for the North, but, strange to
say, a tendency to abolitionism. There
are among the educated Creoles open adj
vocates of emancipation"
It is natural for the %tyrannical, treaoh-
erous, bloodthirsty spaniard to favor the
rebel shareholders.
