MONMOUTH, H., Feb. IL, 1858.
In the report Of your Cairo correspondent
of the 10th inst, there is evidently manifest
injustice done our brave Col. Harding, and
the men under his command, in that ever
memorable and hard fought battle at Fort
Donc1son, on the Sd inst. he says when tne
gunboats appeared, Col. Harding ordered 'ne
firing to cease, and drew his men into as SINAI
a compass within the works as possible, that
they might not be injured By shot and shell,
and awnited the result, giving the conclusion
of the battle entirely to the fleet. Now have
it from the authority Of Lieut.. Clark and va
,ious letter writer's to their friends In this
county, giving full description Of the battlc.
The rebels we're repulsed successfully by the
forces under Col. Harding, and had retired
some two miles from the scene Of battle at
least one hour before the arrival Of the gun
boat feet. The rebels doubtless designed re-
newiug the engagement again in the morning,
and were doubtless deferred By the unfriendly
interference on the part Of the gunboats. Col
Harding left q home, peace and immense
wealth to brave the dangers Of disease and
misguided foes Of our imperilled country, and
with the intention Of hurting the rebels upon
any and all occasions, and he has done it no.

Mr. C. L. Valiandigham takes the trouble
to write letter to tue New York Tribune, ii,
which lie denies that he is Dlsunionist, the
Tribune haying declared him to be ono on the
strength Of his reported speech ut Newark,
N. j., d few evenings since. c. L. says he dc.
cared in that speech that he was In flyor Of
the Union as It was, which he hopes to restore
by peace and compromise. The grounds OF
tlis hope lie does not give. Facts which &C.
Cured during the Newark meeting, however,
tend to dlsproye this up-lo5a1ty Of tho Cop
rcrhcad Ohloan. According to the report OF
the meeting, the demonstrations made bT the
audience were of m unmistakable treasona-
tile character, and it is not claimed by G. L..
that he rcbukcd the disloyal manifestations.
On the contrary, the very forms Of expression
he used were intended to invite their utter
auce. Here are some specimens of the cloyen
foot which we're shown on that occasion, all
Of them, it will be seen, in response to ques-
tons which look rs if they, with the answers,
were agreed upon and rehearsed previous to
the then public enunciation:
'tAt the mention OF 'stoncwal Jackson the
"patriots shouted with delight, When
"thc speaker said, tWili you send your SONS
"to the battlefield? overwhelming, enthusi-
"astic cries Of 'Nor Not sNcyer!' sNeycr!'
"'God forbid!' mot If know myself &C.,
"camc from all parts Of the house. Shall
"they be conscripted for two years more and
" for the negro:' he asked, with tremendous
outburst Of yells, cheers, cries Of No!
" sNcyer!' sLet them try i'll 'We defy them,
"was the response"
These responses by the e1aq.e7s, who, seem
ingly,. had been arranged in position through
the crowd, If not By the great body of tht
asEemblage itself, prove that with the smooth
professions Of loyalty and Unionism made b.
Vallandigha1n, he allowed them to pass With
out rebuke.
There was one feature about this NeEarl
meeting and the speech Of Val|andiglam
| which should attract the attention Of al; loya
| men. The meeting passed dresolutionsagains
the Introduction Of free negroes into Ncy
Jersey, declaring them;to be & nuisance an,
injurious to white labor. Mr. Vallandigl.am

wish that that State, and every other fire.
State, should so amend its laWs, as to adml

a Future for the CoPperheaiis.
The following extract from letter written
by an officer Of IN Illinois regiment in Rose
crans' army, dated near Murfrcesboro, Tenn,
Feb. :, 1868, speaks for itself:
"Here VIC have been lying In camp for a
month, with min, sleet, hail, wind, frost and
mud, as our general daily routine, with sun
slime and pleasant weather the e1cep-
ton, and If there is anything that
can make q fellow feel blue, 1t is to
sit down in a place like this, enjoy
such weather, and now amp then geta glimpse
ut some newspaper from the North, with edi-
ts'ria1s proposing peace, inducing dcsertion5,
and trying in every way to disgrace the army,
the nation and the people generally. Woe be-
tide the secession sympathizers and would-be
peace makers, when the army gets through
with their present work on hand. The suffer
iugs, dcprlyations and lardshirs of soldier
lite are not so easily endured, and the cause
We are fighting for too dear, to be broken
down By the towards and stay-at-homcs who
brought on the war, and now place every I'M
Fediznent in the way Of having accomplished
what must be the inevitable result-the sub
jugation Of the rebellion. Curses lord and
deep 60 out every iny from men and officers,
and they arc not 10 belightly thought Of. Now
and then You can hear the names Of some
marked men, whose Life or lives arc pledged
for roTe or bullet, All In good time and

testify tllat it was the neatest and most per-
fectly policed camp he has seen during the
war. Colonel Ammen WIS then commandant
Of the post Of C1arksbug, and the admins

Lieutenant Colonel Gilbert. It never lost Its

sition for three-year volunteers, Lieutenant
Colonel Gilbert was appointed Colonel of tho

Colonel F. T. Shcrman's letter, printed
herewith, will attract the special attention
OF our readers in the city where the writer
is well known, and, as an expression Of
opinion By q Democrat, will not be with
out great influence in all other parts Of the
Northwest, Colonel Sherman is the son
eff q. Sherman, Esq, Of this city, late
candidate for Congress against Mr.. Arnold,
and now our Mayor. The Colonel himself
was, and we suppose is, Democrat As
such he entered the service Of his country,
and we have no reason to suppose that he
has abandoned or, in any material manner,
modified his political principles. But in the
presence Of the enemy and surrounded by
men like himself Hwho hare made great
fees Of pccuniary nature and Of personal
comfort to serve their country, lie has a
kccncr insight into the motives Of por-
ton Of his late associates and the effect OF
their Vaccinations, than he would have
had simply as citizen Of Illinois; hence,
us might be expected Of man who did
such gallant deeds at Murfreesboro, he
docs not hesitate to administer keen and
singing rebukc to those who, as he can
see plainly enough, are fighting for that foe
against which he contends. HIS words WILL

urc which they dread, before which they

been compelled to succumb.
Many time has the thunder Of old
Exeter Hall been heard in high places,
tumbling down Ministers and crushing OBJ
noxious enactments; but never according
to the reports Of the English papers, has
It spoken with such sublime effect as upon
the occasion Of the meeting in sympathy
with our own Government, and the Eman-
cipntion edict Of the President. Probably
also, there never was so large meeting as
semblcd within its walls Long before the
appointed hour, it was crowded to sutfica-
tion. From the platforms on either side
the great organ to the back Of the western
gallery, was one dense mass of human be-
ings sitting and standing in every variety
of attitude, as they stroye to adapt them
selves to the cxigencies arising out ofthe
terrible crush to which all we're alike sub

sons could not get adn,ittance, and the
traffic in the Strand was seriously impeded
By them. To remedy this, another meet
iug was held in the lower hall, and at inc
same time another was conducted In Exc"
Ter street, in the open air. It is
imnossible to convey any idea Of the
enthusiasm which prevailed. The speak

forests Of hands, amid tremendous accla-
