CAIRO, April %.
Four transports have Just arrived from Cape
Girardeau, two of them having on board the
25th and 9th Wisconsin Regiments. The
gunboat Little Rebel has also returned. Or
der is restored at the Cape, and the women
and children have returned from the Illinois
shore.
After the rebels were repulsed on Sunday,
they fell back to Jackson, ten miles. About
midnight, Sunday night, Gen. Vandever fell
upon them, completely surprising them, Kill
ling and wounding a number, and taking some
five or six hundred prisoners. The guard
house and Jail at jackson are full of prisoners.
Gen. Mcneil pursued them on the Bloom
field road, overlook them yesterday, and gave
them another logging. We have not the re-
suits.
This information is received from Colonel
Montgomery, of the 25th Wisconsin.
The rebels, as far as they could, have com
pletely devastated the country, respecting nei-
Their friend nor foe. Their force is between
seven and nine thousand, mostly cavalry and
artillery. Whenever they could, they nave
cut the telegraph wire ana carried IL OH.
The Federal force sent from New Madrid to
Intercept the rebels, has not been heard from,
and some fears are entertained for its safety.
No arrival from below last night Or to-day.

Six more TrHnsporIs Rum the Blockade
at EicksbuFg.

OAAhCj LAPlh -
Last Wednesday night, six transports-the
Tigress, Empire City, Horizon, Anglo-Saxon,
Moderator and observation-disclosures to run
the blockade at Wick sburg. The Tigress was
loaded with forage, the Horizon with com
missary stores, and the others with various
kinds Of Government freight. All were pro-
tected on the larboard side with cotton and
hay bales. They left Milliken's Bend at nine
o'clock, accompanied by the Won Phul, with
Gov. Yates, Gov. Wood, and Generals Grant,
Mcpherson, Logan, and some two hundred
prominent officers of the army aboard. We
dropped down to the rendezvous at Young's
Point, and awaited the going down of the
moon, at midnight. The Tigress led the way,
without lights, intending to float down until
she was discovered, and then steam through
with the greatest possible speed. The other
boats were to follow in the same manner, at
considerable intervals.
The Tigress had been gone half an hour,
when a flash against the sky over the point,
followed, in a space OF time measured by
twenty-five pulsations of the heart, by a peal
of distant, heavy thunder, which told us she
was discovered, and that the upper battery
had opened upon her.
The Won Phul quickly dropped down to the
head of the old canal, and from that point we
witnessed the grand demonstration. AS the
boats swept round the bend, battery after bat
terry opened upon them, and we could trace
the progress of each by the discharges. We
could see the red light leap from the %cannon's
mouth, and hear the howl 0 fevery shell. The
great bonfres were lighted, overspreading
earth and sky with a ruddy glow.
The cannonade continued over three hours
Over six hundred shots were fired, but mir
a~culous as it may seem, four boats escaped
unscathed,
The Moderator was disabled by an explo,
sion of shell in her engine-rooms, but viii
soon be repaired. The Tigress was struck
between wind and water, near the stern, tear
ing a hole large enough to sink her in a short
time. She is thought to be a total loss.
The whole thing, however, was a complete
success. The expedition was commanded by
Col. c. q. Lagrow the officers, pilots, engi-
neers and crew were volunteers from various
regiments. Over a thousand men Offered
their services.
We have now nine gunboats, two rams and
seven transports, besides a large number Of
flat boats and barges, below Vicksburg.
No one was killed, and but three wounded
one pilot seriously.

The CHICAGO ELECTION.-We learn from
the Chicago papers that the frauds of the Sc
cesh democracy in the late municipal election
in that city, are so glazing and brazen, that
it has been decided to contest the election, on
the part of the Union Republicans. 1t is said
that in one Ward there were more than lille
gal votes enough polled for the Democratic
ticket over and above the entire number of
voters in the ward, to change the result of the
election. The Journal of Monday evening
says
'The ~canvassers have their lists made out,
the charge and the proofs of fraud will at an
early day, be presented before the proper le-
gal tribunal, and the candidates of the De-
mocracy claiming to nave been elected, must
bring in evidence enough to rebut the charg-
es and overcome the proof, or they will be
ruled out, and the candidates Of the Union
ticket will be declared entitled to the offices
to which a majority of the legal voters elect
ed them"
The Tribune of Tuesday morning says:
Zone ward, we are informed, has been care
fully canvassed, the names and residences Of
every adult male residing therein, obtained,
and the result shows that the ballots cast in
that ward exceed, by four hundred and up
wards, the whole Number Of men, natjre, nat
uraLized and ~wnaturaZjzed, huing IN the
ward! The spurious votes cast are almost
as numerous as the legal votes put into the
box. If the fraudulent ballots Of that single
ward be purged from the returns, the en-
tire Copperhead ticket is defeated, by ma
%jorities as large as those by which it is pro-
claimed elected"
We hope this iniquity will be thoroughly
Investigated and exposed. It may stop the
mouths of the Northern traitors and rebel
sympathizers of the Dubuque Herald, Mil
waukee Neus and Chicago Times, stripe, who
have been heraIding the Chicago election over
the country as a great peace victory"

BREAD OR PEACE.
1t has not yet come to be a question of bread
or peace with us, but we are fast coming to
it. If our Government can compel a man
with a family of children to fight for it at
$l1 per month, it can compel, and must, those
who stay at home and enjoy their ease now,
and will enjoy our freedom when achieved, to
feed the poor children of poor fathers-the
widows, whose only ons are fighting the bat
ties anu enduring the terrible hardships of the
march and camp, foodless,~ clotheless and shoe
less. Forbearance will soon cease to be a viz
tue.
Our wives, sisters and little ones, are cry
ing for bread. Beware!! lest they cry for
djooi 0,so!!! We have had enough of ex-
tortion and speculation it is time the strong
arm OF the law was extended.
The people will rise, sooner or later! There
are l%amp-posts and rope enough to cure this
worse than treason, and the remedy will be
supplied by an outraged people.

were eight miles distant, approaching on two
roads. This morning a flag of truce brought
= demand for surrender in half an hour, sign
ed by Maj. Gen. Price, to which a negative
reply was returned. At II q. III. the rebels
attacked in force. After three hours hard
fighting, they were handsomely repulsed. 1t
was supposed, however, that they would
change their position and attack from anoth-
er point.
Reinforcements reached Mcneil to-day
He has two gunboats ready for any emergen-
cy, and expresses the utmost confidence in
his ability to whip the enemy, and pursue
them in case Of retreat. No apprehension
need be feared for the safety Of Cape Girar-

No mention is made of the loss on either
