cEssFUL GENERAL.-The success of Gen
Blunt in Arkansas have drawn upon him
that torrent of abuse which the Demo.
cratic journals open upon every office,
who hurts the enemy, or who shows 1
disposition to do it. The Sunday En-
quirer had malignant attack upon him
copied from another Democratic journal
which showed BY ito failure to specify
anything that could account for it's hos
tility. that sympathy with the enemy was
the only cause Of this hatred for Q sue.
cessful Union General. Ifsnything more
were needed to explain this spirit, il
might be be found in the eulogies which
the same journals heap on every General
who fails or who wastes his army without

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived at headquarters here:
HEADoUARTERs DEPARTMENT OF THE
CUMBERLAD. Jan. 5, 1868.
To Major. General HalLeek, General in Chief:
We have fought one of the greatest
battles of the war and are victorious
Our entire success on the 3lst ult. was
prevented by surprise of the right flank.
but we have nevertheless beaten the enc
my after n three days fight. They fed
with great precipitation on Saturday
night, the last of their column of cavalry

are killed. and Gems. Gladson, Adam,

and is supposed to be mo.tally wounded.
On Sunday morning he was, however.
reported cheerful" and hopes were en-
tertained Of his recovery. We can lily
spare officers like Capt. Gwinn. He is
brave and efficient commander, and his
death would be universally deplored BY
his host of friends and admirers in navy
and army. There seems to be no attempt
upon Vicksburg from the river as yet.
1t is reported here this morning that
Fort Hudson has been reduced. An
Ohio regiment is reported to have suffered
severely in the Saturday fight before
Vicksbnrg.
CAPTURE OF Tas "BLuE WING" AND
''HoxE."
The Blue Wing and Home were sent
down the river last week with ordnance
stores, mail. and two coal barges for our
feet.
At Napoleon they were fired upon by
guerillss, and the Blue Wing immediate
iy cut loose from her barges aud ran into
shore and surrendered.
1t is reported that this boat was man
ned BY "secesh sympathizers" and was q
milling castirs. She was taken up the
Arkansas with her stores and sixteen bags
Of mail for Sherman's army. The Home
was burned.
Why these boats were rot guarded. OF
by whose authority they were sent, am
not informed. 1t is probable that they
were ordered by General Sherman to fol-
low on after the fleet. 1t appears that
they followed a, too great distance.
General German returned last night
from his jaunt down the river. He was
interrupted by rebel batteries upon the
river near Laconia. and did not succeed
in reaching Napoleon. He picked up
several of the crew of the Blue Wing
who had escaped from the hands of the
rebels. These men reported that the reb'
els have removed several guns from the
Arkansas Port" to points on the Miss
issippi, with view of blockading the
river.
