but hits the happy medium most to be desired

sick. For invalids il is invaluable by virtue
OF its tonic qualities, and particularly its abso-

wine in the market New Yorker.

The News from Port Hudson-Probability Of
Federal Victory.


NEW York, March 20.
The following explains something of the re-
cent matters at Port Hudson:
Dispatches from Jackson, Miss, I4th inst,
have reached Richmond, stating that ST. Hele-
ma was attacked in the rear on Monday. 9th,
and heavy firing was heard there on the 18th.
ST. Helena is about twenty-five miles in the
rear of Port Hudson, in an easterly direction,
aud when we remember the forces of General
Banks have been for some time moving in that
direction from Baton Rouge, the heavy firing
may probably be accounted for by the fact
that Port Hudson was being invested by land
and water.
1t is q remarkable fact that the Richmond
Wing of the 18th inst. mourns over the revers-
es in the South West, and it is equally remark
able that dispatch from Port Hudson was
read in the rebel Senate the same day, which
caused lively sensation.

withstanding the grape-shot and the fire of
musketry, they passed right through the Rus
sian ranks. This struggle lasted four hours.
The Russian officers, forced TO defend them
selves with their reyolvers, could not but adj
mre the courage of their adyersaries. IF
these men were armed and regularly organic
ed" said the Russian officers, mo European
army could withstand them" The insurgents
retreated in good order, after having lost one
hundred and iifty killed aud nine wounded.
AT Wonchok, the fighting FEB. 10) was
still more desperate. The Russians were adj
vancing with artillery towards the town, and
had TO pass through little wood about a
mile and half distant. In this wood de-
tachment of the insurgents was posted, who
suddenly threw themselves upon the soldiers
and compelled them to retire. The Russians
attempted the passage three times, and each
time were repulsed. They then withdrew and
formed line parallel to the wood The in
surgents, unuckily for themselves. formed in
similar manner. The Russians at once
rushed upon them and succeeded in passing
through the wood. Attempts were then made
during an entire hour TO hinder the troops
from entering Wonchok, but they Ultimately
| proved unsuccessful, though a part of the
Russian cavalry was destroyed. The insur-
gents opposed to them nearly all fell. These
accounts show the temper with which the in
surgents OF Russian Poland have committed
themselves to an armed resistance.
According to the best estimates, upwards OF
fifty thousand Poles were in arms the third
week of February, and at last accounts the
forces marshaled under Frankowsi were SO
rapidly augmenting as to cause serious disqui-
etude in Russia In fact, the spread of the in
| surrection has been so amazing, the successes
of the insurgents SO unlocked for, that the or
binary methods of repression have thus far ut
terly Jailed TO make permanent impression
on the Poles. When Harmed bands OF stu
dents and peasants, encouraged by their cler
gy and the mobiles, successfully resist the march
OF disciplined battalions, yielding only to the
force Of superior numbers, and winning II
more than the average number of bloody con
flicts, it is evident that mighty spirit OF revo
luton is abroad, and that the struggle is not q
temporary or causeless outbreak.

Is branded and expelled as traitor er pub
Tic enemy.-Nobile Register.
This is rebel doctrine and no one can say
that it is not right, if the rebels believe in
the justice of secession and rebellion. But
how can the defenders of Valandigham in
the North justify themselves according to
this doctrine. Vallandigham proclaims to
the people in public speeches in Ohio that
this war to suppress the rebellion is "a wick
ed, cruel, and unnecessary war" "a war not
being waged for the preservation of the
Union !" "a war for the purpose of crushing
out liberty and erecting a despotism y "a
war for the freedom of the blacks and the
enslavement of the whites )" stating that "il
the Administration had so wished the war
could have been honorably terminated months
ago;" charging that "the Government of
the United States were about TO appoint mil
itary marshals in every district to restrain
the people of their liberties, to deprive them
of their rights and privileges !" and when
charged with this incipient treason, does not
deny the charge, but justifes it. Yet his
friends in the North, even here in this place
say that he did nothing wrong. Now, il
yallandigham is right, then the North is il
the wrong. Can any true patriot or goot
democrat believe such stuff
