Is THIS TREASON THE New Haven Cou-
rier, an abolition paper, which firts tits mast
head the name of old Abe for President in
1864, q" talks out in meetin' in the following
style:
Contractors have carried on the war The
blood of our men, the groans of the wounded,
the tears of the orphan. and the wall Of the
widow, have been coined into money.
They have swindled the Government out of
hundreds of millions. They have piled fortune
on fortune. and as distinguished officer at
Washington writes US, all the operations of
this war are even managed by political swim
dlers.
There Is more truth in this than we usually
find in abolition newspapers. and we can only
account for it one way-the editor has not
been appointed to Office or furnished with a
fat government contract. This is the secret Of
his apparent honesty. OF course he will not

way, and fat contract viii be forthwith ten

The time-honored saying that experience
makes fools WISE does not seem to apply to
the Administration at Washington. 1t is no
torious that most of the disasters to the Union
arms in Virginia have been attributable to the
interference of laundering officials at Wash
ington, who, while sitting in their easy quarters
at the Capital, have undertaken to control
movements in the field and to order the ad
vance or retreat of armies according as their
own confidence or alarm prevailed. 1t was
thus that McClelan's movements were ham,
pered and crippled, and thus that Mcdowell
was prevented from forming union with his
Chief, and kept for months Inactive and use
less. On the very day the great victory at
Antietam was won, when the Confederate for
ces were checked and driven back in the flush
aud pride of victory, during the progress Of
the battle, the Federal Commander received
three several dispatches from his terrified "su
periors." informing him that the enemy he was
then engaging had escaped-that Washington
was in danger-and ordering him peremptorily
to fall back by forced marches to the rescue of
the capital.
And now we learn that the repulse aud dis
asters at Charleston are due to similar inter-
ference. The Chaplain of the ll5th regiment
of n. Y. S. Volunteers, writing over his own
name from Hilton Head, in defense of General
Hunter, whose action in the Charleston affair
has been censured, tells the following story;
"Soon after the attack on Fort Sumter had
commenced and when promising favorable re-
suits, dispatch arrived from Washington, Or
dering delay in the attack on Charleston.
and three of the Monitors be sent to the relief
of Admiral Farragut at Vicksburg. This or
der was sent with the supposition that the att
tack on Charleston had not commenced. On
the arrival of the order, council of naval offi>
GERS was held. Some of them were in favor of
continuing the attack. but Admiral Dupont
decided in the negative. He reasoned thus
If l should continue the attack contrary to or
ders, and should succeed, the Government
might sustain me. If should make failure,
and lose the Monitors, should lose my head.
Who will say that this was not sonnd reason>
ing? As soon as it was known at Washington
that the attack on Charleston had already
commenced, and that it would 90 out to the
country as failure, another order came for
the immediate renewal of the attack"

blunders will the history of this war present to

CHAMPION HILLS, 26 MILES EAST OF VIcKs-

was few miles to the south. Ward was on

battle.
AT IL o'clock the battle commenced. The
hill itself was covered with timber, and is in
TACT but an abrupt terminus of high ridge
running north and south, fanked on both
sides by deep ravines and gullies, and in many
places covered with an impenetrable growth
OF scrubby white oak brush. The rebels APP
peared deficient in artillery throughout the
battle, but opened with rather heavy tire
from a four gun battery of rihed 6-pounders
planted about 400 yards back from the brow
OF the hill. The woods on both sides of the
ROAD Leading up the face of the hill and winding
back on the ridge mile or more, were filled
with sharpshooters, supported by infantry.

WASHINGTON, May 20. - The schooner
Emily, supposed from her log statements to
be from New York, was captured by the Po-
tomac fotilla, above Urbana, on Friday, and
arrived here to-day. The officers and crew,

tional pardon to w Hayden, who was con-
victed at the October term of the circuit court

The fugitive slave Hall, whose case has ex-
cited much interest in this community, and
about whose custody conflict has existed be-
tween the civil and military authorities, has
to-day enlisted in the army, thus escaping

condition of our affairs abroad is regarded as
very satisfactory by the state department.

AFFAIRS AT vICKsBUKG.
DISPATCH FROM ADMIRAL PORTER
FLAGSHIP BLACK HAWK,

Haine's Bluff, Yazoo River, May 20.
| To Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the
| Navy On the morning of the 10th l came
over to the Yazoo to be ready to cooperate
with Gen. Grant, leaving two of the IRON cads
! at Red River, one at Grand Gulf, one at Car
| thage, three at Warrenton, and two in the va"
| zoo which left me a small force. Still dis
| posed OF them to the best advantage. On the
| loth at meridian, firing was heard in the rear
Of Vicksburg, which assured me that Gen.
Grant was approaching the city. The cannon
aiding was kept up furiously tor some time,
when, by the aid of glasses, l discovered a
company of artillery advancing, taking posi-
ton and driving the rebels before them.
| Immediately saw that Gen. Sherman's divis~
ION had come on to the lett of Snyder's Bluff
and that the rebels at that place had been cut
off from joining the forces in the city.
despatched DeKalb, lieutenant comman-
der Walker, Choctaw, lieutenant commander
Ramsay, Romeo, Forest Rose all under COM
mand OF lieutenant commander Breese, up the
1azoo to open communication in that way
with Gems. Grant and Sherman. This | sue
ceeded in doing, and in three hours received
letters from Gems. Grant, Sherman and
Steele, informing me of this vast success, and
asking me to send up provisions, which was
at once done. In the meantime lieutenant
commander Walker in the DeKalb pushed on
TO Haine's Bluff, which the enemy had com
menced evacuating the day before, and
party remained behind in the hopes of destroy
ing or taking away a large amount of ammu-
milton on hand When they saw the gunboats
they ran out and left everything in good or
der, guns, fort, tents and equipage of all
kinds which fell into our hands.
As soon as the capture of Haine's Bluff and
the fourteen forts was reported to me, |
showed up the gunboatS from below to fire on
the hill batteries, which fire was kept up for
two or three hours. At midnight they moved
up to the town and opened on it for about an
hour, and continued at intervals during the
night to annoy the garrison. On the 18th |
placed six mortars in position, with orders to
fire night and day as rapidly as they could.
The works at Haines' Bluff are very for
midable. There are fourteen Of the heaviest
kind of mounted eight and ten inch and seven
and a half inch ritfed guns with ammunition
enough to last a long siege. AS the gun car
rages might again fall into the hands of the
enemy, had them burned, blew up the mag
azne, and destroyed the works generally. l
also burned up the eAcampments, which were
permanently and remarkably well construct
ed, looking as though the rebels intended to
stay some time.
Their works and encampments covered
many acres of ground, and the Notifications
and rifle pits proper off Haine's Bluff extend
about Il mile and a quarter Such net

take command of another rebel pirate cruiser
