One merit must be conceded to Hooker.
He is the only General who has command
cd the Potomac army that has known how
to make the cavalry arm efficient. Nc
clcllan never did anything with his cav
airy. He knew not how to organize or
fight them. They were useless and Costly
arm in his hands. Burnside made but
very little better use Of them. 1t was re-
served for Booker to show how they might
be made Of vast service to the army.
Under him the cavalry has performed many
exploits, and repeatedly whipped the
mounted rebel cavalry. Hooker also taught
the army how to march with ce1erity, how
to dispense with the vast and cumbersome
trains Of wagons with which Mcclellan
clogged the troops. Under Hooker the
army could march twenty miles in day:
under Mcclellan, rarely more than flye.
He effected various other reforms that pro-
moted' the discipline, efficiency, content
ment and comfort Of his troops, For all
these things he is entitled to the thanks Of
lis countrymen. Let him not be robbed
Of the credit that is fair1y lis due.

Why Hooker KUs Removed.
The following solution Of the reason for
Hooker's removal, is as probable as any We
Lave seen, mud may be the immediate occasion
Of it, but NC suspect the real reason dates
back to Charlottesville, aud includes the
subsequent acts ofthe General:
MARYLAND HEIGHTS, June 28-We were
Visited here yesterday By Gen. Hooker, accom-
1anied By Brig. Gen. Warren. The object of
lnib Visit was to inquire into the propr1ety Of
.yacnating the Heights. He sent for Col.
lsynolds, our able engineer, aud asked him
what the object was in holding the Heights.
The Colonel replied he Ind offen asked the
f Ire question, and never got satisfactory
:nrwcr. Hooker then issued an order that
the place should be evacuated by Z o'clock
nrAt 1uoEnipg; that such guns US could not
hr taken away ehould be destroyed, and the
e'Vres removed. Immediately afterwards, he
ilErmed Gen. Halleck Of what he had done,
w1iereupon he received dispatch counter
1nauding the order, and saying the fortitca-
tians had cost too much to be given up, nu-
lees under the most urgent necessity. He
considered Hnrpcr's Ferry to be the key to
the present and future operations of the Army
Of the Potomac. Hooker's comment upon
this was natural enough: "What is the use
in holding on to the key after the door Is
tmashed:h While on his way back from here,
H. received an order from Washington, re.
moving him from command, and placing Gen.
Meade IN Lis stcad.

parting, and giTing their destination before

of Gen. Fosters movement is jus. cause

From some unexplained cause our news
is meagre this morning from most points.
The public have come to understand what
silence Of the wires means. It may, in this
instance, be attributable to nothing more
than meteorological influences.

marked change in position.
The intelligence from Vicksburg is not
later than by our last issue, but gives more
details as to the tremendous mining opera

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunc.1
MADISON, July i, 1868.
4 letter from New Orleans to the -'ou7na
says that Gen. Paine, formerly Colonel Of the
9TH Wisconsin, was severely wounded and
will probably lose his leg. He is In the hos
pita1 at New Orleans. He fell brayely leading
Lis brigade against the rebel cntrenchlnents,
and when the assault was repulsed he was
left on the field He crawled into q sma1lgul-
Il to escape the rebel eharpshooters. After
lying there awhile four negro soldiers rolun-
1eered to bring him In. When within short
distance they were shot dead.
Gen. Paine was finally rescued, but not until
fourteen n<groes sacrificed their Tires in the heroic
attempt. The letter says the 18th regiment
Was badly cut up, and says it vas universally
conceded ut New Orleans that the negroes
MAKE capital soldiers, equal to any in the U.

Why Cha rIestou Was Not
Taken.

The Washington correspondent Of tho Co.
lumbus {0hio) Journal makes this curious
revelation Of the reason Of the failnre to cap
ture Charleston:
There are yet como other things "fhat ara
not dreamed Of in your philosophy" which,
as we arc in this line, mightns well be alluded
to, The country short time ago was In q
blaze Of excitement over the attack upon
Charleston BY our iron-clad fleet. Much
nrinter's ink was spent upon the stunning
lead lines that heralded the accounts thereof
Patriotic 1audation found full vent. It was
natural the people should rejoice over the
capture Of that place, and the replacement Of
Tie flag Of liberty over the walls whence it
vas tom By traitorous hands. Why was the
capture not nader Facts, Of subsequent de-
vefopment, fhow that, had the assault been
perserc1ed in, Charleston and Fort su1ater
would have been taken. The damages to the
i1onclads were repaired In i few hours, and
tie casualties were not worth speaking Of.

like many Others golden one at that. You

The scene is laid at Port Hudson, before
which stretches a deserted battlefield.
Tie short, brilliant assault is unsuccessful.
Tie Federal troops have fallen back, and
uIon the ground occupied only by the
dead and the dying, and still swept by
-rcbcl slot and shell from their overlooking
works, lie the, wounded, cut of from sue
cor. Among them is Union officer

And yet he must not be Lett to die -Four
black soldiers voluntarily move out to his
rescue. They reach him, raise him tender
1y in their arms, and the dangerous return
Journey is commenced. Rifles crack
sharply from the rebel works; one and
another Of the brave bearers fall. Now oil
arc down, and the wounded officer is still
exposed. The peril Of aiding him has
been fcaztu1ly demonstrated. But again
and again parties Of colored men step for
ward By fours. The deadly missiles rain
around thcm-again and again their num-
bcrs are thinncd. Not until FOURTEEN
brave black men have offered up their
lives was Gen. Prime brought safely within

EAnd these arc our black allies These
are the men into whose hands we 50 reluc-

Editors Chicago Tribune:
Tie people Of this place and vicinity seem
destined to be grossly insnlted on the glori-
Gus 4th Of July. Preparations have been
,uakirg, for some time, to have picnic and
general good time on that dag, md We hare
got all business men to agree to close up
tl.,ir llonses, and all unite to do honor to the

that lie "seccah'' thought it would be .
good time to have crowd tor . demonstra-
lion, and privately made arrangements to
have disunion speaking. All loyal men
we're shocked By the announcement, last

J. ". Singleton and H. Clsy Dean would ad-
dress the people on that day. In ordinary

would be considered greatly out Of place on

Probably never, in the history OF human
warfare, was any present laden with a
heavier burden, than that on which our
Immediate future now waits. The issues
Of five several tremendous conflicts, hang
ready 10 fall, like ripe fruit, and it is within
the range Of possibility, that in the same
twenty -four hours, each may become his
tory. The entire armies Of the Union, and
Of the Rebellion, are opposed to each 9th
e1, at fire several points Of contact The
gage Of battle cannot be refused ut either.
Port Hudson, Vicksburg, Rosecrans' new
field, Pennsylvania, Richmond; with ref.
crcnce to each the situation is imminent,
the crisis near at hand. If Port Hudson
falls, and Vicksburg becomes ours, and
Rosecrans finishes the lesson Of Stone
River, and Meade defeats Lee, and
Dix marches his conquering army
into Richmond, it will only be answering
what loyal men arc hoping and praying in
each case. The different operations are
distinct. Each commander must play it
alone. Old Brains, at the War Depart
mcnt, can only put his ear to the wires and
wait for tidings like common mortals.
From these clouds all round the eky there
will lie thunder presently and much rain.
Sod grant it may descend in 8 tempest
uron the mad enemies Of this Government,
q delrge that shall drown their hopes, a
torrent that shall sweep through their do
muin Of Slavery, Piracy, and Wrong.
But it well becomes loyal men at this
Time 10 be prepared for every contingency.
1t requires no very long preparation to
bear good news. It is true OF the present
situation that, this period Of activity once
successfully oyer, land it must be briefly We
shall have no very extended operations for
months to come thereafter. It will enforce
On all our armies a period for rest and re-
craiting. Our reserves are all in the field.
Our recruits are Jet undrafted. This will
not matter much if success crowns our
arms, but the positi N is awkward for any
great reverse to befAu our cause, Our
broad loyal States Lie exposed to inroads,
with absolutely no home military orsani-
Zation. We're Illinois to DO visited
today By rebel invasion, and she
has Copperlleads who would be
glad to guide m enemy hither,
her two hundred and fifty thousand men
set out Of service, and capable Of bearing
arms, could oppose TO the enemy nothing
but an undisciplncd mob. We are not
wise in the delays tllnt are thus imperll-
ing the North, and will soon have located
fresh battlefield in Pennsylvania. Ohio,
it will be seen, is rapidly assuming war

the same. Il is the lesson Of tue hour that

4 correspondent writes US excitedly from
Centralia, H., letter in which iadlg-
nation struggles with bad spelling, rela-
tire to our recent comments upon the
following communication Of Mayor Storer
to Gen. Buford at Calro, written under cir
cumstances our readers will remember:
By what authority do you force upon the people
by Yesterdays train: You are respectfully re-
4n stsd to atrange for their transportation South.
Qigncd) SAMUEL SToRER, Mayor.
As near as we can decypher it, Mayor
6torer. himself is also our correspondent.
Well, we did say, that were the people Of
Ccntralia OF class to approve Of Mayor
Storcr's action, rebel raid into their neigh
borhood would do them good. We COLI
fess our error. On looking at the matter
ngain, we are Of the opinion that spirit
like that manifested in the above letter,
would invite rebel raid, and show the
rebels the way in; for inhumani-
y is beetle-blind, and hard.leartedneEs to-
ward the helpless Of either race, white or
black, would find itselfmuch at home in the
task Of plotting secesh cavalry northward.
We only judge Of Mayor Storer by his
letters They may do him injustice. If
so, he had better have done with letter
writing. But, as to Centralia, we know
that he does not represent the large-heartcd
generosity ofthe people thereabouts. There
tits, ut our elbow, friend who attests to
having found, in his eyes, something be-
sides car-dust, on a recent occasion, when
aloaded train Of passengers on the Illinois
Central Railroad stopped at Centra1ia-
While the better able Of the travellers were
in the eating room, the full and bountiful
baskets-full, benisoned with as pure bless
ing as that of Holy Writ, were fitting to
and fro in the cars among the tired way
farers, soldiers Of the Union, until every
hand and haversack was full, and full
hearts blessed the noble ladies of Centralla
as only the hungry and tired soldier can
bless his benefactors.
"And yet" says one friend at our elbow,
looking moist about the eyes, "yet you
say that the people Of Centralia are hard
hearted" We deny it Indignantly. and
rub our own eyes, which grew little misty
ut his narrative. We did not aspersc Cen
train, nor Egypt, where grows patriotism
Of the purest, and a generosity none else
where more noble. But the prairies that
bear corn and wheat, produce also Massa-
saugas and Copperheads Must we approve
Of reptiles because OF the golden grain that
rustles above and about them? Nay, verify.
