with the detains Of the capture OF Port Glib
son. When our troops were nearing Port
Gibson. they were met by hundreds of iami-
les heeing from the interior to escape the raid
Of the Illinois caval y. The prevalent opinion
among the e. seccsh" was that Port Gibson
was the safest place in the vicinity. The dam

able

GEN MCCLELLAN has been honored by
resolution Of thanks, from the city govern
ment Of Washington, for his services in the
defence Of the national capital. At the in
teryiew with the committee from Washington,
Gen. Mcclellan declared his conviction that
there was as purpose by the rebels to capture
President Lincoln before his Inauguration
and7o seize the capital-which, in his opinion
would have been as effective for the rebels as
an army of three hundred thousand men,
The General also said that he had not tender
ed his resignation to the President. We hope,
Cor his sake, that he has asked for active ser
VICE. But OF that, he said nothing.

Alex stephens, Of Georgia, is still hopeful
for the rebels, provided they are led by
men Of consummate ability, aud can obtain a
proper supply Of food and clothing" That
looks very much like giving it up. Consum-
mate military ability will not furnish food
there arc no able-bodied white men to raise
it, as the conscrption embraced all between
fifteen and six'fye years of age and the
slaves cannot be relied upon. The women
may do something ilr themselves but who,
man or woman has any inducement beyond
that of mistaken patriotism, to raise any thing
for government which cannot pay

FoRFrGN MATrERs.-News from England

THE VERMONT BRIGADE FOREVER Col.
Grants supplementary report thus speaks Of
the gallant conduct of the officers and men
OF his brigade
Too much praise cannot be awarded to the
officers and men for their excellent conduct.
They could not haze done better Vermont
may well be proud Of them all The men did
their duty, and the officers were there to d.
rect and encourage Not an officer failed to
time; lot map staggled from the ranks
And when regiment moved, it did it with al
most the precision of an ordinary drill
1t would be impossible and almost inyidous
to particularize, but cannot fail to speak in
the highest terms Of praise of Col. Walbridge,
ID VT; Col Seaver, Sd VT; Col. Stoughton,
4th VII Col, Barney. 9th Vt; and It. Col
Lewis of the 9Th VI. Nor can fail to men

Aides de Camp and Lieut. Horace French.
Acting Provost Marshal all of whom rend-
cred the most efficient aid. They were every
where in the thickest of tho fight wherever
needed, faithfully delivering and carrying out
my orders. This was also true of them at the
battle OF Fredericksburg.
Lieut.. n. Austin, 5th Vt, Acting Quarter
master OF the brigade, is also entitled to great
credit for supplying the command with ra-
tons and other necessaries, and for safely
Keeping charge Of the baggage OF the brigade.

GRACEs CELEBRATED sALvE.


As the general inquiry Of WHATS Grace's
Salye and WHO is its originator" may seem to
be a question worthy Of being answered, the
manufacturer has been induced to give the
following brief yet truthful account of its
history: This Salve is a vegetable prepare
ton invented in the 18th century by Dr..
William Grace, who was Surgeon in King
James Army, and from that he always used
it in his professional practice when ever sore
ness or inflammation presented itself AS a
medical agent for the cure Of wounds 1t was
followed with great success, and thousands OF
veterans that were wounded in the campaigns
Of 1853 and 1851, owe to this Salye the sal
walton Of their lives.
Colonel Richard Grace, who was King
James Chamberlain, introduced this salvo in
to the Royal Palace, where 1t was used with
the greatest success and highly esteemed for
its virtues in the cure of sores. At the siege
Of Athone. Colonel Richard Grace ordered it
TO be administered to his compatriots who
we're wounded during the memorable days OF
the battle. The order was complied with and
it was used with such great success that the
head Surgeon Of the army at Aughrlm or
dercd DR.. VIM Grace to manufacture one
hundred gross in season to have it distribut-
e6 among the hospitals before the battle. On
the sad defeat of the army at Aughrim, after
Ginckle's army took possession Of the battle
field, they found several ambulances aban-
donej 10y The retreating army. and in each o.
them were found sealed cases Of the Salye.-
The English Surgeons tested it upon their
wounded and ascertained its value, and thus
we're both Of the contending armies beiriend

on Saturday last, letter was read from Gov.
Seymour, in which he said the arrest Of Van.

on our country, which is full Of danger to
our persons and our homes" But why is
the Governor afraid Is he 10 any degree
disloyai, OF sympathizer with the rebellion,
or disorganzer, or opposed to the execution
Of the CONSUMPTION act, or in favor Of en-
barrassing the government in conducting the

opposed to this meeting, and made considera-
bic disturbance for awhile, but withdrew aftes

Car, soldfers vote.

Mr.. r. McBruney, of Junction CITY,
writes communication two columns long .,
to the Leavenenworth Conservative, in
which he claims that our State cobs,itu.
tionaly does not prohibit the volunteers
from Kansas from voting, and says all that
that Legislature need do is to pass law
this winter providing means for their ..vo-
ting with the regiments in the field. His
ground is well taken and ably argued. Up
on careful reading Of the clause in the
Constitution which refers 10 soldier voting
we believe that volunteers are no. exclud-
ed from voting and that the law only ap-
plies to soldiers in the regular service.
The letter will attract general notice, and
is worthy of caraful consideration

Here we present our readers an article
clipped from the Conservative, one from
the Times, and an item from the Denver
Commonwealth also some afidayits re-
garding the matter. Capt Alien max es
a statement that is not true, about an af-
fair of which he knows nothing except
what he is told as we kno,o that he pass
ed down the road on the Coach about two
weeks ahead of his company If be is a
fine officer, be does no credit to his repu-
tation by such statements. We do not
wish TO abuse soldiers in the service of
our country, and are very sorry that any
should SO far forget their duty as to break
downinstead of maintaining the law. We
co not SO much blame the boys of Co. B, al
we do few bad men who made false
statements to them about Reedy, and who
vert to Co. 3. s camp, after they had given
up the idea of coming, and persuaded
them to come back to town at night and
release Reedy. An Investigation would
show more than oue man beside CO.. B,
boys engaged in the transaction, but we
withhold names and charges at present.
While here in town the boys ofco. B, be-
Gayed remarkably well, better, we believe
than any COMPANY of men that have ever
been here, and our citizens forme, quite a
favorable opinion Of them and were much
surprised the next day to hear Of the trans
action. .
