To the Union Leagues and Union CIubr
ThrOuRhout the UnItnd stntsa

The Grand Union League Of the State of Ma
TylaDd suggests TO the various Union leagues
and Union clubs throughout the country the
holding OF a convention of all tho leagues and
clubs In the city Of Washington some time
during the month Of June next-say on We'd
nesday, the 18th day Of that month-for the
purpose Of consultation In reference to the in
terests of our order and the promotion OF the
great cause In support Of which we are organ
lied.
The time suggested, Il is thought, will be
found generally convenient, and It will serve
to commemorate the second anniversary of the
organization Of Union leagues in Maryland
and, we believe, In some other States. IL Ii
proposed that the attendance should be without
limit as 10 number, and as large as the con
Nenlgnce OF members will allow.

This distinguished officer, the hero Of Fort
Pulaski, should not be robbed Of the credit due
him for his late success at Somerset, BY blum
der not his own. In General Burnside's report,
sent to us yesterday, the hero's name was
printed "Gnman.' We ordered II corrected,
but for some rcSson II was not done. Edl-
torially, however, We printed the Generals
name right, but we notice that all the papers
published this morning, including tho organ
of the War Department, which paper ought not
to commit such gross blunder in making up
Its military record, have fallen into the same
mistake. We cannot account for this error be-
coming so general, except upon tho natural one
that all the papers copied the dispatch from the
REPUBLICAN as il was sent to us. We hope,
for the sake Of Gen. Gilmore, that the mistake
will DO as generally corrected.

CNCTNNATI, April 1.-The news from Vicks-
burg and vicinity wears an unfavorable aspect.
Dispatches received here state that the expo
dition through slute's and Black bayou into
tho Upper YAzoo is failure. Admiral Porter
succeeded in getting through both bayOus with
gunboats, and proceeded twenty-five or thirty
miles further in Deer and Rolling Fork, when
he encountered a small force Of rebels, who sc
annoyed him with sharpshooters and obstruc.
tions in the channel that further progress was
impossible without the cooperation Of infant.
ry, which came up next day. The enemy had
in the meantime put trees In the stream, max.
ing 1t impassablo. They annoyed the gunboatI
otherwise, and seemed TO be gathering in con-
siderable force.
Renforcements Of infantry were marched to
their assistance on Monday, and came up with
the beleagured gunboats. The latter were COM
pletely hemmed by distractions In front and
rear. Skirmlshlng continued all day, when
the rebels being reinforced, the gunboats were
withdrawn and commenced their retreat. The
whole force have embarked on transports near
the head Of Black Bayou for their return to
Young's Point. The Union loss Is ten to
twelve privates killed and wounded, including
