Good News from VtcksburS.
We have mos. cheering news from Gen.
GRANT. On Tuesday of last week he de-
feated the rebels at Raymond, Mississippi,
sixteen miles west of Jackson, and eight
miles south of the Vicksburg and Jackson
railroad, with confessed loss to them of
seven hundred men. The next day the
rebels were reinforced, but were again de-
feated and 6riven towards Jackson, which
is forty-five miles east of Vicksburg. A
dispatch states that Jackson was in our
possession, and that GRANTS main force
struck the railroad near Edwards station,
which is only about twenty-five miles d.
rectly east of Vicksburg. The rebels are
therefore, entirely cut off from railroad
communication east of Vicksburg. We
confidently expect to hear of the capture
of the city within week.

The COrcOran.Kfmba Affair.

By the proceedings of the Court of In
ouiry into the case of shooting Lieutenant
Colonel KIMBALL by General CoRcoRAN, it
appears that the deceased was too much
under the influence of liquor to know what
he was about, and grossly insulted General
CoRcoRAN, but whether the latter will be
;ustified in shooting him remains to be
seen.

The Richmond Eaquirer of the 18th inst,
contains the following editorial
There is evidently to be an active summer
campaign. The plan of the enemy seems to be
to keep our attention constantly exercised at
every point at once, SO that no part of our
whole wide frontier may be freed from the
urgent and immediate apprehension of
an attack Then they can strike where they
think our lines weakest, or where our defences
are least prepared, and if repulsed they can re-
tire and direct blow at some other quarter.
In the meantime they can bag much plumber,
and cause much sorrow and heart-breaking
among our people, by expeditions through
thinly populated regions, destitute of troops.
They can also force more and more OF our
people within their lines to take their hated
oath, for a quiet life. and to save their prop
erty from cOnfiscation.
Thus they can demOraliZe and rob us within
our own borders, preparing all the while tor
serious assaults, and delivering them just when
they are ready, and where they choose.
1t is hard to say at what point they are most
active just now. If one looks south-westward
it would seem the State of Mississippi is the
region OF the most extensive operations. I'm
mense armies are gathering in and around
Vicksburg, and while preparations are in prog
ress for new assault on that place. the cOull-
try is devastated and the people pltndered by
cavalry raids; but at the very moment Charles
ton is kept on the qui vive, by energetic prep
arations for another attack by sea or land or
both at once, the object may be only to pre-
vent General Beauregard from sending away
any of the troops which remain to defend
Charleston.
At the same instant Burnside threatens East
Tennessee, and Hooker largely reinforced, is
expected to cross the Rappahannock some
where, or anywhere from Culpepper to Port
Royal, to keep some of our forces employed in
the defense of Richmond. Reinforcements are
sent to Fortress Monroe. and the enemy's gun
boats are harassing North Carolina

Very Respectfully,

Sl,5O A YEAR IN ADVANCE.

Perhaps, however, there is no portion of
the message that is more insidious, or that
more fully betrays the adverse motives of
the writer, than the paragraph, which tells
us plausably that there is little to fear
from the general government in times of
peace, but bids us be jealous and stringent
against its cncroachments in the hour Of
war. The laws of honar, loyalty and Of
affection are always the reverse. A
grateful and generous nature is ready to
make auy sacrifice to a protector who is in
calamity. In old Rome, when liberty was
in its highest food. the citizen was always
prompt to temporarily resign his Govern
ment to the hands OF dictator, to render
it compact and effective against foreign
foe; and every generous nation since, has
willingly consented to similar sacrifice,
rather than be trampled by conqueror.
Equally false with the other positions of
the message, is the nice sounding sentence
that those who hold there is no sanctity
in the Constitution must equally hold that
there is no guilt in the rebellion; ; " for
again, as lawyer, Mr.. Seymour knows
that man who violates compact merits
punishment and that his owl unlawful
fracture of this instrument stops him from
demanding that its provisions shall re-
extend to him. In the forcible language
of General Butler, j" Sedition is treason;
treason is death, with forfeiture of goods
and all that is inflicted on rebel, short OF
this is SO much gained by him, from the
clemancy Of the Government"
But enough of this wretched message,
ite scditions, and its fallaces. 1t re, eals
to US dark and threatening future for
it will embolden bad men to wicked and
unlawful acts, and it will make treason
popular, by inciing the expression of thou
sands of poor applicants for office, who
will seek to square their declarations to
the supposed secessation principals ofthose
who unfortunately have at their disposal
the vast patronage of the city and the
State. Under this demoralizlng influence
and powerful coercion, the great State OF
New Y ork is becoming more malignant
district than either Louisiana or Missouri;
and this dreadful fact forces upon our
mind the most profound and alarming ap-
prehcnsions. Ii it continue to progress III
lsaFcction as rapidly Tor the next month
as the last, the government need no longer
be in doubt us to where to find field for
Gen. Butler. The proper district for
his talents will be here.

AN EMBARRASSING STUATIoN.--Tho
officers of the Kate hossel got them
selves into an embarrassing situation
one day last week. The boat started
from the Davenport Levee on her regular
trip down the river, and had gone about
six miles, when numerous and powerful
yells from n state.room in the ladies' cab
in attracted a good deal of attention.
On careful exploration, two bouncing
big babies were discovered, screaming lus-
tily, but no mothers were to be found
After consultation, it was decided to go
back up the river and find the parents of
the children, if possible. This was done
and the mothers were found on the levee
at Davenport where they had gone up
town, and were left by the boat. OF
they were cverjoyed to find their
and of course the officers didn't
swear at having to come back after they
were six miles on their way.--Davenport
