AN EXTENSIVE ScoUT.-A scouting
party, consisting Of Capt II. j. Hall and
ten men, has recently returned to Vlcks-
burg from an extensive tour through Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. Since
June this small party has captured in all
seventy weight prisoners, besides destroy
ing about half million dollars worth of
property of use 10 the rebel army. While
in Louisiana it was learned that the enc
my is in possession Of about fifty steam
boats. which thew have run above the
falls of Red River to escape their capture
by the many expeditions we are continu-
ally sending up that stream. The condl-
ton of the people along the line of travel
| pursued by the party, is represented as
most lamentably deplorable. Persons of
aftiuence before the war are now inmates
OF the cabins and sharers in the simple
conveniences and frugal sustenance of
those who were once IN servltude to them.
The system of guerrilla warfare in Mis-
slssippl and Louisiana is rapidly arriving
at some degree of perfection. For small
parties, under ordinary circumstances, it
is no safer to travel through those States
than 1t would have been during their oc-
cupation by the organized armies Of the
rebellion. Every principal highway is
the object of rigid surveillance. Every
river crossing IS controlled by the unerring
sharpshooter. The movements of our
troops are watched on all sides, not only
by the scouting parties of the enemy. but
by all the inhabitants. Henceforih the
fighting in these states will be confined to
detached and Eoht r,artie. ss

Grant is at Union Church, Miss, SO
miles southwest of Jackson, and that he
is advancing on Natchez Light boats,
with transports, from the front of Vicks-
burg, are moving up the Yazoo. The
Federal attack upon Grand Gulf, Miss.
resulted unsuccessfully, two gunboats
being disabled.
European dates are to the ODD ult.
Great irritation is felt in England and
France against the United States, in
consequence ofthe operation of Admiral
Wilkes and Minister Adams, and the
Paris correspondent of the London
Times expresses the opinion that "The
dav is not far distant when France and
England will be compelled to assume
another attitude towards America"
The latest advice from the Army of
the Potomac reported Fredericksburg
in our possession. A rebel force is
near Brownsville, Pa. Gen. Lee, with
a large army is at Bridgeport, Harrison
county, Va, pushing rapidly northward
leaving only sufficient fierce in front of
Hooker to delay his advance on Rich
mond.
The Federal movement down the
Rappahanock was feint. On We'd
ncsday night most of the troops who
had gone in that direction moved up
the river to Banks Ford and on Tues
day morning there were three corps at
that ford. one below, and three more
across the river, marching straight on
the rear Of Fredericksburg ria Chan
cellorvilc. which point, ten or twelve
miles west of Frede ricksburg, was sub
sequently occupied.
The rebel raid in Western Virginia
has assumed quite extensive proportions.
The rebel force at Fairrnont is said to
be 10000 to $4,000 strong. 1t is thought
that an attack upon Wheeling and an
invasion Of PENNSYLVANIA are contem-
plated. The rebels arc under the lead
Of Fitz Hugh lee and jenkins. Col.
Mullican is said to have had $50 of
his command taken prisoners, he escap-
ing with his artillery. Capt. Wallace's

THE CAUSE OF FAILURr

1t is asserted on the part f many
and no doubt with full conviction of its
truthfulness. that the course pursued
by Csc who fail to concur IN the war
policy of the administration have en-
''arassed its action and are responsible
for our numerous and disgraceful fail.
ures Against their belief founded in
ignorance, stupidity, or malice, we off
set the following from the report Of the
Congressional Committee on the con.
duct of the war; with the additional
remark that those making the report
were all republicans, and Of course
should be good authority to those of
that faith
"The Administration called by the
people to the mead of the Government,
in this the most critical period Of the
nations history, ras more promptly
and mNy Supported Man that Of any
other Government of arhich history
hss preserved any record The call
Of the President for money and men
had been more than complied rith; no
Legislation arhich he had de"med nee
eSsury had been denied by Congress;
and the people had most nohly and
generously supported and sustained
what their representatives had promised
in their name. The same Congress,
fresh from their constituents, had again
met, and there could be no doubt that
as they had before acted so would they
continue to act. 1t needs but to refer
to the history Of the Congress Just
closed, its prompt and Morough &C
tion clothing the Executive uith the
fullest pO,rer, placing ut his dispo-
sal all the resources ofmen and mon
ey which this nation possessed, to prove
that your Committee judged II htly
that Congress needed no promptings
from them to do its entire duty. Not
upon those whose duty it was to provide
the means necessary to put down the
rebellion, Jnt upon those whose duty
1t vas toriehyully opplythose means
and the agents THEY EMPLOYED for
that purpose, rests the blame, if ANY,
that t. c hopes of the nation have not
been realized. and its expectations have
been so long disappointed"

NEWS OF TIE WEEK.

On the 23d ult. Gen. Grant issued
an order for his whole army to march,
with SIX days. rations. The destination
is not stated. There are rumors that
the rebel batteries at Grand Gulf. Miss,
have been captured by Federal gun
boats. The sixtransports that attempt
ed to pass Vicksburg on the 23d had a
hard time of it. Four of them are
known to have been sunk, and the other
two probably sufferd si.nilar fate.
The raft up the Yazoo has been cut,
from which 1t is inferred that the rebel
feet up that river is ready to come out.
Bragg has advaced to a point north
of Duck River. He has lately been
reinforced, and talks confidently Of
driving Rosecrans out of Tennessee.
The rebel force which made the re-
cent raid upon the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad retreated southwark on Tues
day, but was subsequently reinforced
and returned to Morgantown, Va, 1000
strong. Col. Mulligan had an engage
ment with them at Fairmont. few
miles from Morgaptown, and being OPP
posed by superior numbers, was COM
PEELED to retire. No statement of the
losses is gwen.
Six divisions of Bragg's army have
advanced to Shelbyville, twenty miles
from Murfreesboro, and Breckenridge
is reported to have moved to point
only twelve nj les distant from the lat.
ter place.
Gen. Banks, during his recent ope
rations in Louisiana, won three engage
ments, taking nearly 2: 900 prisoners
and losing 600 or 700 men. The nun
Der of rebels killed and wounded is not
stated.
Great battles were fought IN Virgin
ia on Saturday and Sunday, without
decisive results. The losses were very
heavy on both sides At last advices
Hooker's right wing rested on the Rap
idan, at Ely's Ford, and his left on the
Rappahannock. Few particulars O.
the engagements have as yet been re-
ceived.

WHO ARE TRAITORS,

Not those who believe the constitu-
ton the supreme law OF tina land, and
in all thei relations to it, State and
National make that belief the basis Of
their conduct, by yielding an implicit
obedience to its injunctions. Not those
who advocate the perpetuity Of the
American Union upon the basis of the
constitution and the laws. Not those
who are honestly observant of, and will
lingly obedient to all laws, constitution
ally placed upon the statute book oethe
nation. Not those who believe that
every person claiming citizenship and
protection under the laws, whether
holding the highest Office in the gift Of
the people, or occupying the most hum
bic in social life, is alike amenablc to
the constitution and the laws. Not
those who believe that the perpetuity Of
our government, and the blessings of
civil liberty to ourselves, and our pos
terity, depend upon the inviolable re-
gard We bestow upon our form of gov
c:nment, in its letter and spirit. Not
those that advocate security to each
State, and to every section the full, free
and unquestioned enjoyment Of every
right Of person, property, and religious
worship guaranteed to them by the con-
stitution. Not those who declare that
the rebellion should be put down by
the constitution and in manner strict
ly in keeping with the spirit animating
the states in its adoption. Not those
who advocate peace ana compromise
for the restoration Of the Union under
the constitution. Such arc democrats;
Consequently democrats are not traitors
to the constitution.
Now how is it with republicans ?
We don't of course mean the rank and
file of the party, but it's leaders, for
while the masses are honest in their
anxiety to see the old order of things
restored, their leaders are as detcrm-
incd that such shall never be the result
Of this conflict, and are consequently
boldly ayowing that 'the American
Union shall never again curse the pa
ges of history"
Thad. Stevens, who stands next to
the President in position and influence
IN the republican party, declared in
Congress ''that this union never shall
with my consent, be restored under the
constitution" President Lincoln said
in his inaugural that he had no right t.
interfere with slavery in any State
whore it existed, and Secretary Seward
about the same time, in letter to Mr.
Adams, our Minister to England de.
clared that should he do 50, the courts
would, as they should do, declare ths
