'a- ha-'H ta SIcoJRNEY, Aug. 6.
We arrived at Washington about l03
o'clock yesterday, and marched up to
town, where we were supplied with
bountiful repast, in an empty store-room,
by the patriotic citizens of that place,
after which, the rain having about ceas.
ed, sufficient number of teams to ac-
commodate the force were pressed into
service, and we all got under way for
Sigourney, taking with us arms and
equipments enough to fit out a company
at that place, which were yet unarmed.
Along the road we were loudly and en-
Enthusiastically cheered by the Unionists,
while by the Cops, we were met with
scorn and groans.
We arrived at Talleyrand, midway be-
tween Washington and Sigourney, about
o'clock, when all the discharged SOL
diers GA in number) were placed in the
front teams, with guns loaded ready for
immediate action.
At dark, advance guards were formed,
Of two reliefs, who were kept out until
we reached town. 9s
At III o'clock the lights at Sigourney
met the view of the advance, and in the
course of 20 minutes or half an hour we
entered the place. There being only
one company of Home Guards there,
who were only half armed, you may rely
upon it that we were not unwelcome
visitors. Cheer after cheer, and shout
after shout, rent the air for the brave
Muscatine boys.
A company came in from Brighton
early this morning, making three in all.
There are also three reported to be at
South English.
1t is reported this morning that the
rioters have all dispersed other reports

by the Martin County Democratic Con-

clares that ''all men are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness The adapting
the sentiments of their meeting" to such

FROM WASHINGTON.
Grants Official Report OF Operations
in Mississippi and the Capture of
Vicksburg. t.

WASHINGTON, August IL
General Grants official report of the
operations of the Army of Tennessee,
from the day he assumed Immediate
command of the expedition against
Vicksburg to the surrender of that place,
is made public to-day. General Grant
states that from the moment he took
command in person, he became satisfied
that Vicksburg could only be turned
from the south side, and, in accordance
with that conviction, he proceeded to
work on the canal across the peninsula,
on the Louisiana side of the river. l
He gives details of operations on the
canal and the failure of the succeeding
naval expedition through Black Bayou,
from the time orders were given to oc-
cupy New Carthage, and run the army by
Vicksburg on transports under the pro-
lection of Porter's fleet, to the landing
at Bruinsburg. At length, upon call
for volunteers, for crews for vessels,
about to run by the batteries, Gen. Grant
SAYS that for this dangerous enterprise
officers and men presented themselves
by hundreds, anxious to undertake this
trip. The names of those who were ac-
ne4ted 1t d ars q ssi in ma a separate report
as his observation goes, of the present
volunteer army, that there is nothing
which men are called upon to do, me-

BG~ We hope the President will keep
keen eve upon Thimble Rigger Sey-
mour of New York. 1t is evident he de-
signs mischief His letters to the Pres
ident, besides being impudent; show that
he is trying to prevent the Roughs of New
York City from being drafted, and thus
throw the burden of the conscription up
on the rural districts. He pretends to
be unable to see how it happens that the
City districts are required to furnish so
many more drafted men than the coun-
try districts, when the reason is appa-
TafRt Tftef are isFggIy ss@@try-i''rs.',
unteered to double the extent they did
in the Copperhead districts represented
by the two Woods and Brooks. No one
knows this better than Gov. Seymour,
Yet he meanly insinuates that the enroll
ing officers have perjured themselves,
and made fraudulent returns.
1t is a we'll known fact that many of
the New York City regiments were large
ly composed of men from the country.
Especially was this the case with the Ex-
celsior brigades, many of whose compa-
nies were wholly from other States. Yet
Seymour, we doubt not, credits all to the
City. He is also engaged in doctoring
up cold rolls" of volunteers, and has fl
nally Figured out that New York City
has furnished 33,622 men over her quo
tas under all the calls for volunteers
This, we have no hesitation in believing
is a lie; or else the balance of the Stat
has done nothing hitherto in furnishing
men. If these statements of Sey
mour are accepted by the Govern
ment, there will be no draft il
New York city, and the burden of I'll
ing up the army will fall upon the West
ern States. We tell the people of th
West that Seymour designs swindlin
them if he can They should insist o
the Government acting upon the report
of its o,on agents in the city of Ne
York as it is doing in other States, an
not upon the lying statements concocte
by Seymour and his satellites. The dra
should be fair, not only as betwee
citizens, but as between States; and an
manifestation of a disposition on tt
part of the President 10 yreIu ott,ro---
the fraudulent statements or dictatori
bearing of a traitorous Governor, WI
arouse feeling of indignation In tt
West that will materially interfere WI
the effectiveness of the draft.
Our people cannot forget that viii
for months past, New York has not hi
| anything like her quota OF men IN
field, owing to the expiration OF time
her two years, six months and nj
months volunteers, the West is larg
in excess of its quota. Yet Gov, )
IS mour is laboring with all the ihgenu
N he possesses to prevent his State II
" furnishing her proportion of troops.

the ithimble rigrer"

"cold blooded' murder was committed in
that county under the following circum-
stances: The Editor of that paper had
been making speech to a crowd of
Democrats, when one of them became so
inspired by the speech in connec-

this another man in the crowd drew a

The murderer, according to the Jack

MAGGIE MITCHELL.

Ford's theatre was crammed, absolutely,
last evening, and the star of the evening,
Maggie Mitchell, received an ovation which
would have satisfied the ambition Of any &C.
tress upon the stage. She appeared In the
character of Little Barefoot" In play
TRANSLATED from the German, and displayed
those powers which she Possesses In an emil
nent degree, and which haye rendered her so
popular. The character Is that of Q little Ger
want girl, left an orphan, with simple minded
brothsr dependent upon her superior intellect
for guidance and support, and she falls In love
with one above her station, the passion being
reciprocated. Her illustration of the changes
which this passion produces, the naivefe and
natural coquetry that accompany the Irritation
and courtship are very charming.
The dialogue Is not remarkably brilliant, but
Naggle's acting renders the piece an extreme ely
interesting ope. We shall speak of 1t more 10
