The rebel leaders are not FOOLS
For years they governed the herepublic,
shaping its policy, foreign and domes-
tic, to their own ends, and to suppose
them ignorant of the ways and means
to keep up the spirits of their people,
is pure, unadulterated foolishness.
They commenced the war upon the
promise of substantial aid from the
Northern States, and now that they
have discovered that the mass of the
people North are loyal, they are keep
ing up the spirits of their dupes by
substituting the shadow for the sub.
stance
Nallandigham's speeches are made to
to duty instead of the muskets prom
ised two years ago; and so far as the
spirit of the Southern people is con
cerned they answer just as good n
purpose.
1t is fact that is note worthy. that
wherever our armies penetrate, in ev-
/ cry rebel printing Office they find the
! type of'Vallandigham's great speech,
which have been printed and circula-
ted by the hundred Thousand. When
ever doubt is expressed as to the
success of the rebellion, "Vallandig-
hams great speech is read ut once.
to prove what? Why, that the North
is divided; that in the loyal States
there is a strong party that stands in
opposition to the Government. Does
an incredulous Southerner suggest
that in all probability Vallandigham
stands alone? He is ut once silenced
by the election returns of last Fail,
which are taken and received rs a di-
rect endorsement of Vallandigham.
Every article from Copperhead press
es denouncing the conscription, the
currency, the taxes-every speech
that drifts that way is carefully seized
upon by the Southern leaders, and
paraded as evidence incontestiblc, that
there is division in the North and
the universal lesson inculcated is hold
on yet little while and we must tri-
umph over our divided enemy
Had the North been as thoroughly
united as is the South, the rebellion
would Lave been ended eighteen
months ago. Let the sorrowing faith
ers, the heart broken mothers who
mourn the dead of Shiloh, of Vicks-
burg, of Stone River, charge their be-
rcavement to the scoundrelly seces-
sionists of Ohio, who nerved the rebel
arm that struck the blow, and who
to-day are plotting more murders -
But for them the brave men would
have been at home.

Organizations.

In some of the townships the In
ion men are awake to the necessity of
a thorough organization for the Fall
campaign; but in the most of them,
an apathy exists on the subject
There should he the most thorough
organizat,o on in every township, for
the election is one OF the greatest i'm.
portance. The Ohio seeesh made up
their minds tc carry the state, and the
Richmond secesh are EXTREMITY anx-
ious that it should be done. They
are organized--perfectly so. The Sc
cret lodges of the Knights of the
Golden Circle. exist in the county-it
has its members in every township.
They will do their best-they are
now doing it; and if we hope to carry
the State, we must initiate their in
dustry, No time should be lost
Every township should have an or
ganization, and their effort should be
met with equal effort on our part
Think what Indiana would have been
with q secessionist in the place OF
Gov. Morton. If we would avoid q
like fate in Ohio we must labor.

The "Capture of fRichmond!',

Last Sunday the town and country
was made crazy over the report that
Gen. Dix had slipped up from Fort
Monroe and taken Richmond. The
loyal men were in ecstacies, and the
regular Copperheads-the sympathiz-
e:s-were IN the last ditch of despond-
ency, Monday noon the bubble burst;
the morning papers eontradicted the
report, and the programme was chang
ed. The Copperheads lighted up and
the loyal men went down.
AT this present writing Butternut-
ism is rather elated. Believing that
llookers rctrogradc movement was q

WASHINGTON, May o. Following

Maj. Gen. Halleck, General-in- Chief:
We landed at Paulingsburg, April
Both, moved on Immediately on Port
Gibson, met the enemy eleven thou
sand strong, four miles South of Port
Gibson at two a. m. on the 1st, and
engaged him all day, entirely routing
him with the loss of many killed and
500 prisoners, besides the wounded.
Our loss is about 100 killed and 500
wounded.
The enemy retreated towards Vicks-
burg, destroying the bridges over the
two forks fthe Bayou Pierce. These
were rebuilt and the pursuit has con
tinued until the present time. Be
sides the heavy artillery at this place,
four field pieces were captured, and
some stores, and the enemy was driv-
en- to destroy many more. The coun-
try is the most broken and difficult to
orperate in ever saw. Our victory
has been most complete and enemy is
thoroughly demoralized. ~

FrOm IInnl,pr,s Army.

New York, May 1.-THE Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press, under date of Nav 10th,
says persons have arrived from the
Army of the Potomac, leaving there
on Saturday evening, who state the
army is in the best kind of spirits,
with everything in readiness to re-
cross the river. Some corps crossed
last evening
Having obtained permission of the
President to recross the river. after
demonstrating the importance of the
movement. Gen Hooker asked that
his communications might he proper
ly guarded in his rear. The promise
to attend to this was given, as well
as the positive promise that addition
al means Of ammunition and supply
should be furnished, and that Gencr-
al Sigel should again lead his troops.
During Wednesday and Thursday.
Gen. Hooker detailed several regi-
ments to gather up the wounded and
bury the dead ON the South bank of
the river. The number of rebels
found unburried was very large, and
it is believed that no effort was made
by the enemy to bury his brave men,
slaughtered 10y our artillery, during
the five days battlessat Chancellors-
vile. Fortunately the weather was
cool. and the rain served as a balm to
ease the wounded from some of their
sulferings. The fact that the enemy
had left thus suddenly, confirmed
Gen. Hooker in the belief that the re-
bells had been very much cut up, and
that they contemplated retreat if
that course was found practicable
Accordingly, on Thursday L. NJ, be-
fore the rain had ceased falling, Gen.
Hooker ordered across the river the
lst and 9TH corps, under Gen. Sedg-
wick.
Owing to the terrible condition of
the roads, hut little progress was
made, and Gen. Hooker on Friday
directed his attention to the crossing
of the whole army at Banks and Uni
ted States Fords. During the day,
the position for each corps was desig-
mated, and Gen Hooker was busy in
giving instructions to his various
Generals concerning his proposed
pursuit of Lees army.
The question. Where have the reb-
els gone? is going around unanswer-
ed in the hotels to-day. 1t is the
opinion of military men, that they
have fallen back in two columns, one
toward Richmond and the other to-
wards Gordonsvillc, in the hope of
concentrating with Longstreet's forces
in front of Richmond, once more to
give us battle.
The next engagement will take
place most probably, on or near the
Upper Pamunky river, whittier Gen.
Hooker is moving as rapidly as posi-
bic. Many maintain that the James
river will be the next line that the
rebels will defend. This may or may
or may not be secure, as Gems. Peck
Keyes and Naglee may decide.
There is report here to-day, that
our army is in motion South, and
that 81 irmising with the rear guard
of the enemy has commenced. 1t is
reported here that fredericksburg and
the nights of st. Marie, were occupi,
ed by our troops to-day. The Rich.
Imond IL Potomac Railroad, south ol
Fredericksburg will be put in order
again, as soon as it will safe to work
upon it. Troops are are arriving
here again, and it is rumored that an
other army will advance south to sup
J port Hooker in day or two.

GRAND GULF, Miss. May 9th,
via Cairo. Nav 9th.

To General HallecE:-I learn that
Col. Grierson, with his cavalry, has
been heard of first about ten days ago
in Northern Mississippi. He moved
thence and struck the railroad twenty
miles East of jackson, at point call
ed Ncwton's Station. lie then moved
Southward, towards Enterprise; and
demanded the surrender of the place,
and gave three hours grace, during
which time Gen. Loring arrived. He
left at once and moved towards Ha-
zelhurst, on the New Orleans and
Jackson Railroad.
At this point he tore up the track.
thence he passed to Bahama, ten
miles further South, on the same road.
and thence Eastward on the Nachez
road, where he had fight with Wiert-
mans cavalry. From this point he
