Carl Schurz.

The opposition papers are assigning rs
reason for the disgraccful panic in the 10Th ar.
my corps In the late battle, the cowardicc OF
the commanding General. The Boston Courier
unblushingly says that "Gcn. Schurz VAS the
first man to run. leading his men in their race
from the field" Gen. Schurz has written let
ter to Maj. Gen. Howard, commanding the 18th
corps asking for protection against these mali
cious accusations, to which Gen. Howard re-
plies as follows:
nm deeply panied to find you subjected to
such false and malicious attacks l saw you
Just rs tho action commenced. You fastened
to your post. next saw you rallying troops
near tho rifle pits. upon the ground occupied
by our corps. After this you were with me
forming new line Of battle near Gen. Berry's
line
lido not believe that you could have done
more than you did on that trying OCCASION
The allegations with reference to your division
nro untrue, since your troops did not occupy
the front on the point Of attack.
Will the papers which have been quick to
circulate this libel Of brave man, be as ready
to copy Gen. Towards answer!

The democratic papers arc this week re
joicing over what they call the defeat of Hook
CT; for so ono would suppose to read their &c
counts. They arc careful to select the dispatch
Of every scared granny who corresponds fol
papers. and omit with one or two exceptions
the official report Of Sec. Stanton. An igno
ramus in Phila. has published pamphlet
criticlsing Stoneman's cavalry movement, say
ing that Hooker ought to have kept them ri
Fredericksburg Ito vancouver in the woods,
we suppose. Us the battle-ground is surrounded
BY dense forcst). This chap shows that he
knows as much about cavalry movements orany
thing else, as We do Of tho Aurora Borcalis
yet, as his pamphlet is against the Government,
tho coppcr-hcads copy Il with avidity. Curious,
isn'tit?

To Hon. Gideon Welies, Secretary Of The
Nary:
have tho honor to inform you that by IN
arrangement with Gen. Grant, attacked
tho batteries ut Grand Gulf this A. NJ,
which were very formidable. After q fight
of five hours and thirty minutes wo silenced
the lower batteries but failed to silence the
upper ono which was high and strongly
built and had guns of heavy calibre, and the
vessels were unmanageable in the heavy eur
rent.
II fired but feebly toward tho last, and
the vessels all laid by and enfladed in, while
went up short distance to communicate
with Gen. Grant, who concluded to land tho
troops and march over to q point two miles
below Grand Gulf. I sent tho Lafayette
back to engage the upper batteries. which
sho did and drove tho persons out OF it, as It
did not respond after fcw shots. At p.
NJ. we attacked the batteries again, and un.
der cover Of tho fro oil tho transports passed
by in good condition. The Benton, Tuscum.

"a killed and Sc wounded, but thoy are oil

WASHINGTON, May 9th,

WASHINGTON, May 9Th,
Tho Navy Department received to-day the
following:
FLAosnrP BENTON, GRAND GuLr,
May Sd. 1868. I
To the Hon. Gideon Wells, Secretary of the
Navy:
have tho honor to report that got un.
der way this morning with the Lafayette,
Carondelct. Mound City and Pittsburg, and
proceeded to the forts mt Grand Gulf for the
purpose of attacking them again If they had
not been abandoned. Tho enemy had left
before VIC got up. spiking their large guns,
blowing up their ammunition, and burying or
taking away tho lighter guns. The arma'
mcnt consisted Of thirteen guns in oil. The
works arc of tho most extensive kind and
would seem to defy tho efforts Of much lcay-
ier fro than tho ono which silenccd them.
The forts wero literally torn to pieces by the
accuracy OF the fire. Col. Wade, tho com.
mandcr of the batteries, was killed; also his
chief of staff. Eleven men were killed that
wc know of, and our informant says many
moro were wounded, and that mono was per.
mitted to tho inside forts after the action,
excepting those belonging there. We had n
heavy fight for the forts, and it is with great
pleasure that report that the navy holds
the door to Vicksburg. Grand Gull is the
strongest place On tho Mississippi. Had tho
enemy succeeded in finishing their forti6ca-
tions, no feet could have taken them. I have
been. all over tho works and found them as
follows: One fort on point OF rocks seventy
five feet high, calculated for six or seven guns.
mounting two inch and ono Parrott gun on
wheels. which was carried of. On the loft,
of this work is q triangular work calculated
to mount one heavy gun. These works arc
connected with another fort by covered way,
and double pits extending half mile, con.
structed with much labor, and showing great
skill on tho part of tho constructors. The
third fort commands tho river in all direc.
tions. II mounted one splendid Blakely 100
FOUNDER, ono 8.inch and two 30 pounders.-
Tho latter wcro lying burstcd or broken on
tho ground. Tho gunboats had 80 covered
up everything with Garth that 1t was impos.
sblo to SEQ ut first what was there, with the
exception Of tho guns that wero dismounted
or broken. Every gun that fell into our
hands was in good condition, and We found
large quantity of ammunition. These arc
by far the most extensive built works, with
tho exception of those at Vicksburg, have
seen yet, and / am happy to say that we hold
them. am dismounting tho guns and an
getting on board tho ammunition.
Since making the above examination, now
forts have been passed, nearly finished. They
had no guns, but wcro complete of tho kind,
as regards position, and held heavy field
pieces in them.

Col. Fitzpatrick. with his regiment, tho

tured and paroled upwards OF 300 prisoners.
Among the prisoners was nm aid Of Gen.

There is but little news to-day worth record.
ing. It is rumorcd that Gen. Halleck is to take

fere with Gen. Hooker, only to DO near the

eral.iu-chief can give. The rebels arc retreat
ing from Western Virginia Richmond papers
say that Stonewall Jackson died last Sunday
from the effects Of his recent amputation and

Hooker has not yet crossed the Rappahanock.
Foreign news unimportant.
WEDNESDAY.
We sec by the Richmond papers. that they
claim that their loss amounts to only 900 killed,
1000 wounded, and 1900 prisoners. A new Con-
federatc State flag has been adopted. The

vided into three columns, one certifying the
town Of Opalousas, one remaining at Atchta-
falay and one at Baton Bougc. Banks has
seized all the slaves on the Governors planta.
ton. It is believed in New York that the ship
Mermaid from Shanhac, with All 900 lbs. green
ten on board, has been burnt by the pirate al.
ALBANIA. Latest reports from Nashville state that
the entire rebel force is from 10000 to $4,000
men.

General Order No. 40:
The Major General commanding tenders to
this army his congratulations on its achieve
ments Of the last seven days. II 1t has not &C
complished oil that was expected, the reasons
arc well known to the army. II Is sufficient to
say that they were Of character not to be
forcsccn or prevented by human sagacity and
resources. In Withdrawing from tho South
bank of tho river, before delivering general
battle to our adversary, the army has given nc,
ncwed evidence OF its confidence In itself and
its fidelity to the principles 1t represents. In
fighting Mt disadvantage, VIC would have been
recreant to our trust, to ourselves, our cause
and our country. Profoundly loyal, and Cob
scious of its strength, the army OF the Potomac
will give or decline battle whenever its interest
or honor may demand II will also bc the
guardian of its own history and its own arm.-
BY our celebrity and secrecy Ut movement, our
advance and passage Of tho river was undis
putcd, and on our withdrawal, not rebel re-
turned to follow. The events Ut the last week
may swell with pride the hearts OF every officer
and soldier of this army. We have added new
laurcls to Its former rcnown, VIC have made
long marches, crossed rivers, surprised the
enemy In his entertainments, and whenever We
have fought, infiic,ed heavier blows than we
have received. We have tiken. five thousand
prisoners and fifteen colors, captured and
brought of seven pieces Of artillery, AMI placed
hors du combat eighteen thousand OF his chosen
troops. We have destroyed his depots filled
with vast amounts OF stores, damaged his COM
munications, captured prisoners within the for
tiications of his Capital, and filed his country
with fear and CONSERVATION.
We have no other regret than that caused by
tho loss of our brave companions, and in this
VIC are consoled by the conviction that they
have fallen In the hottest cause ever submitted
to tho arbitrament Of battle.
BY command Of
MAJ. GEN. HOOKER.
