LOYAL WOMEN OF THE UNION.

The following article is an extract
from a report of Mrs. j. S. Colt, to the
Governor of Wisconsin, made at Mur-
freesboro, May 9Th, 1868. Although
this portion of the report is especially
addressed to the women of Wiscon.

A FALSE PROPHET.


When jeff. Davis, having left the
United States Senate and having been
made a Major General by the State of
Mississippi, had public reception in
the city Of Jackson, he made speech
reported in the Mississippian, an ex-
tract from which reads as follows
"He alluded to the difficulties Of con-
structing new government, and
how these difficulties are enchanced
by the threatening elements in the
North 1t may be that we will be
confronted with war-that the at
tempt will be made to blockade our,
ports, to starve us out. But they
know little of the Southern heart-of
Southern endurance. No amount Of
privations could force us to stay in the
union Oh equal terms. England and
France would not allow our great sta
pie to be damned up within our linz
its the starving thousands in their
midst would not allow it, We have
nothing to apprehend from blockade.
But if they attempt invasion by land,
we must take the war out OF our terri-
tority. II irdr must come, al must be on
Northvn and net on Southern soil We
shall leave our wives and children and
our aged at home, and achieve the tri-
umphs worthy of our cause"
In view of the recent destruction Of
the very city where this prophecy was
uttered, BY Northern soldiers, and Of
the fact that the blockade has been
tolerated for over two years, and is
now tighter than ever, we can but
smile at the insane folly of such pre-
diction.

the States. If slavery is to be preserved the
war must cease, and the former constitutional
relations again be established, for no military
man, in the event of a continuance of the war,
will counsel the preservation of slavery the
continuance OF the war will leave no other
permanent track of the rebellion but emanci
patton. A contest in public, as in social life,
strengthens and conSolidates brotherly affec
ton. 1t is baseless nationality that has not
tested its strength against domestic enemies
The success Of local interest narrows the dest-
my of people, aud is followed by secession,
poverty, and degradation. The triumph of
national interests widens the scope of human
history, and is attended with peace prosperity,
and power. 1t is out Of such contests that
great nations are born.
Gen. Banks concludes thus " Let US fulfil
the conditions of this last great trial and be-
come nation, a grand nation, with sense enough
to govern ourselves, and strength enough to
stand against the world united"
Up to the time of the sailing of the steam
er nothing bad transpired as to the intended
movements Of Gen. Banks, but it was known
that campaign had been commenced with
Baton Rouge as the base Of operations

Our troops in the Indian Territory have driv-

The newspapers have advices from Fortress
Monroe of the departure Of another important
sea-goiug expedition. Gen. Nagee's division
was embarked on transports at Yorktown and
Gloucester Point on the 3lst, and spent their
New Years Day at Hampton Roads Many
other Transports loaded with troops stores,
&c, arrived, and have joined the expedition.
The fleet put TO sea on the 3lst, and COM

tion is supposed to be North Carolina but

We have very important news from East
Tennessee. The Lyuchburg Republican of
Thursday states that a body Of 5000 Union
cavalry, composed of one Pennsylvania regi-
nent, and others unknown, have destroyed
nine miles of the East Tennessee and Virgin
ia Railroad, burning the important bridges
over the Holston ard Watawga Rivers, and
capturing 200 Rebel cavalry who were guard
ing the former The Republican says it will
take several weeks to repair the damages at
time when the road is taxed to its utmost
capacity. 1t characteriZes the Yankee raid
of nearly hundred miles as one of unexpect-
ed daring and activity
A disparch TO Chicago states that the Tn
ion Cavalry under Col. DickeY, have destroy
ed O long stretch of the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, from Sultillo to Okalona, in North.
Eastern Mississippi. This, if true, is very
important fact, as it cuts Bragg off from
Mobile
Balloon reconnoissances show that con.
siderable portion of the Rebel forces in front
OF Fredericksburg have gone off-probably to
help Bragg at Murfreesboro If the story of
the railroad breaking in East Tennessee is
true, they have started too late.

TOWANDA:
CAPTURE OF MURFREEsBoRo AND VICKs-
, BURG.


The result of the five days battle at Muir
freesboro is at length officially and most salts
factorily announced. General Rosecrans deS
patched to the War Department full history
of the protracted contest, which ended on Sat
urday in the total defeat of the rebel army
and their disorderly fight towards Tullahoma
General Rosecrans says that he would occupy
the town aud push on the pursuit on Monday
which was commenced by the centre of ouI
lines on Sunday. The fighting was almost
continuous from Tuesday to Saturday. Ga
Sunday morning the enemy commenced to re-
treat, aud the movement was made known to
General RoSecrars at seven o'clock. The loss
es on our side are one thousand killed and five
thousand FIVE hundred wounded, in hospital
The above cheering news from Tennessee
is enhanced by the intelligence Of the success
Of General Sherman at Vicksburg. Our troops
are in possession Of the city, after a series OF
desperate battles. The expedition landed on
tie Yazoo river on the 10th uIt., under cover
of the gunboats, after having shelled the rebel
batteries at Haines' Bluff, which was f0rrida
bly, fortified and we'll defended. The guuboat
Benton was pretty severely riddled by the enc
my'S shot, and her commander, Capt. Gwiun,
badly hurt The enemy had seven batteries
of rifed guns mounted on these bluffs, and
made stubborn resistance for more than an
hour
We have the authority Of Tie Memphis
Bulletin for the fact that fighting had been
going on for five days, commencing on Wcdnes-
day. Up to Monday morning General Sber-
man had captured three lines Of the enemy's
works. The firing on the fourth and last line
of defence On the Jackson and Vcksburg road
had ceased, and the Indications were that this
Iine-just two miles from Yicksburg- had sur
rendered. Before taking the Notifications
General Sherman sent brigade to cut of
communication with the city by the Shreve.
port Railroad-work which was successfully
accomplished. He was reinforced on Sunday
night by nine thousand men from General
Grants army, by way Of the river. The whole
of the Union force at Vicksburg is now about
forty thousand men.
General Grant telegraphs to the War De.
partment a confirm alton Of the news Of the
occupation Of Vicksburg by our forces, from a
rebel source-the Grenada Appeal.

He concludes by saying that -" months of ex-
perience and observation have forced the con-
viction that the existence of slavery is incom-
patible with the safety of yourself or of the
Union"
On the oath General Banks issued an ad-
dress, appended to which is the Presidents
proclamation of emancipation. In his address
General Banks, after rehearsing the objects
and effects of the Presidents proclamation,
says : " 1t is manifest that the changes sug-
gested by the proclamation do not take place
at any precise period, and General Banks
calls upon all persons, citizens or slaves, to
govern themselves accordingly. All unusual
public demonstrations will be for the present
suspended, aud the provost marshas are en-
joined to prevent any disturbance of the pub

upon the plantations until their privileges are
definitely established, resting assured that
whatever benefits the Government intends,
will be secured them"
Gen. Banks also instructs the officers to Sc.
cure the strictest disci pline in the camps. At
tention is also called to the act of Congress
forbdding the return of slaves by the army
