The Prince de Joinyille relates as an
instance of the GOODNESS Of the Northern
people, that during one of the hottest
battles Of the Chickahominy, newspaper
men went up and down the line CRYING
out the latest news from the North. and
in the ranks Of the army found purchas-
ers for the journals they had for sale.

of Muriyeesboro, and the rebels in full
retreat. The rebel Gen. RAINS was kill
ed, and Gen. CHEATAM wounded and ia
ken prisoner. The loss on both sides is
very severe. Gen. RosEcRANs will un-
doubleday make good use Of his adyan'a-
ges.
In Gen. GRANTS department the reb,
lei commanders VAN Dom and FoRREsr,
who, with large forces of cavalry, have
been engaged in cutting the communi-
cations of the army, have been whipped
in several encounters. Gen. GRANT tel.
egraphs that Gen. SULLIVAN succeeded
in getting fight out Of FoRREsT, and
whipped him badly, capturing six pieces
Of artillery and great many horses and
prisoners. VAN Dom was repulsed at
every point except at Holly Springs.
MORGAN has Jared nearly as bad in
his raid on the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, in Gen. RosEoRANs' depart
ment Col. HARLAN defeated him in
several skirmishes.
On the 9th of December, Generals
HERON and BLUNT made a brilliant dash
across the Boston Mountains and upon
Van Buren,, the depot of supplies of the
rebel army on the Arkansas River They
captured three boat loads Of stores, took
some camp equipage and 100 prisoners.
The rebels fled precipitately, burning
the ferry boat, and their stores on the
south side Of the river. The entire tele
graphic correspondence of Gen. HIND
MAN was also taken, containing much
valuable Information. The destitution
in HINDMAN's army is said TO be most
Ipitiable, 1000 Of his troops being with
out shoes. They are dispensing in every
direction. Gen. BLUNT also telegraphs
that the force he sent into the Indian
Territory, under Col. Phillips, had
driven the rebel forces across the Ar
kansas at Ft. Gibson, and destroyed the
rebel notifications, barracks and commits
sary buildings. Fl. Smith has also been
abandoned by the rebels.
The most important news of the week,
however, is the report Of the operations
at Vicksburg, which we received last
night. The news from that point is up
10 Monday week. At that time fighting
had been going on for five days. Up to
Monday morning SHERMAN had carried
three lines Of the enemy's works and fir
ing on the fourth and last line had ceas-
ed, with indications that it had been sur
rendered. This line of Notifications is
just two miles from Vicksburg, and
there seems no reason TO doubt that the
city is ours. On Sunday night SHER
MAN received 5000 men from GRANr's
forces by way of the river, and then had
10000 men. We have captured ten
guns and 700 prisoners. Neither the
fleet or land forces from New Orleans,
had been heard from. The gun boats
had also attacked the battery OF Yazoo
City, but the result is not known.
Further news from Gen. SULLlyAN's
fight represent the rebels completely
routed, with a loss of 400 killed and
wounded. We have taken from 400 to
$50 prisoners, nearly a thousand stand
OF arms, a battery of six guns, and two
federal guns recaptuFed. The rebel Col.
NAPIER was killed The federal loss is
placed at 800 killed and wounded.

DEATH OF SoLDIER.-We have to record
the death Of Mr.. John n. NJ. Brewer, of Rob-
binston, private in Co. f, 22d Maine Regi-
ment He died at Baton Rouge on the 4th of
April, after confinement, by illness, which
had lasted, intermittingly, for about one month.
The deceased was one of the most respected
young men of Robbinston, and volunteered
his services when the last draft from this State
was called for. He rushed forward when his
country called for his services, and, although
he did not perish by the bullets from the enc
mics Of our glorious Union, he yielded up his
life in the service of that Union he SO loved,
and that Constitution SO dear to him.
Mr.. Brewer was about 20 years of age.
The people Of his native town will ever re-
member him for his eminent virtues. He was
one OF those young men-alas how few
who, not looking to their own immediate in
terests, are ever willing to throw themselves
into any breach that may occur. Long will
his memory live in the hearts of the people Of
Robbinston.
To the afflicted family, it becomes us not to
say word, save in the words of One far
above us-"Thy son shall live again.

State Convention,

We publish the official call for "Union
State Convention" at Bangor, on the LIST day
of July. The call is as broad and comprehen-
sive as the pledge of the National Urion
League-indeed, it seems to have been copied
from the pledge so far tits language expresses
the spirit of the call. We see no reason why
any man who regards country above party,
and who is determined TO make everything
else subservient to the putting down of the
rebellion, the restoration Of the Union. and
the restoration Of the authority of the federal
government over every foot OF our SOIL should
not rally under this call. The representation
in this convention, it win be seen, is based on
the aggregate population, and not on any par
ty vote. We wish the work, SO auspiciously
begun, all deserved success.
