Gen. Grant on the Slavery Question,

Gen. Grant on the Slavery Question.
Senator WILSON, OF Massachusetts, made
speech in Philadelphia on the 4th inst,
from which we extract the following pas
sage regarding Gen. GRANTS sentiments
on the slavery question. After referring
to the fact that our armies in the field had
given evidence at the recent elections of
their detestation of Northern copperhead-
ism, Mr.. WILSON said: -,t -.
1 say to you that our armies in the field are
little more than organized emancipation So
ceties. Why, sir. saw the other day letter
from General Grant, who has fought SO many
battles for our country, Enthusiastic applause)
yes, the hero who sent his legions up the
mountains aud fought battle for the Republic
beyond the clOuds-that General says: II have
never been an anti-Slavery man, but try to Judge
justly of what see made up my mind, when
this war opened, that the North and the South
could only live together in peace as one nation,
and they could only be one nation by being q
free nation. Slavery" said he. which con-
stituted the cornerstone of the sO-called Con-
federacy. Is Knocked out; and it will take
more men to hold the black race as slaves
than it would to put down the rebellion !; and, I"
said he. much as desire to see peace, and
long for it, am opposed to any peace until the

General OF our army. IT you look at the vote
OF our soldiers, you will find that ninety out of
every hundred have voted for the country, and

GUERkILLAs ORGANIZING As we pre-
dicted, the guerrillas are already making
an effort to concentrate and organize in
the country lying between the Green and
Cumberland rivers. Fifty of them are
reported in the vicinity of jacksonville.
Lieut.. Carey, with Company D, Goth In
diana, attacked them on Saturday last,
capturing six of the gang.
We have an idea that these cut-throats
will have a busy time of it if they at
tempt to make another summers stay in
that region, as the Goth will soon be
mounted, and they have traversed that
country so much that they know it as
sell as the guerrillas, and they do not
mean to leave any doubtful characters in
their rear. We predict that the crop of
Butternuts gathered in this portion of
Kentucky this season will be much
larger in proportion to the whole pro-
duct than it was last yeer-though it is
barely possible some of the meanest of
them may be left hanging on limbs.

NEWS FROM CAIRO.

CAIRO, March 90.
The steamer Glendale brought this
morning Memphis papers of the 27:h, 6
z. NJ. The news is rather important.
The. steamer Kenton had arrived at
Memphis from below, bringing lat ( 10 il mi
| for certain that the expedition down
Deer Creek, the SunHower, Steele
Bayou, &c, had arrived safely at its des-
tination, and that a very large force un-
der General W. I. Sherman has been
landed above HIaine's Bluff No action
had occurred. News of a cheering
character expected 1t is thought gen-
eraly that Vicksburg must soon sue
cumb. There was rumor in Mempqjs
and Helena that the rebels were actu-
ally evacuating, but it is untrue. They
intend fight, at least will hold the posi-.
ton as long as they can. Nothing more
has been heard of the Yazoo Pass expe-
dltiOn. lnformats tell different stories
regarding the late movements there
One, that our forces are Withdrawn en-
tirely; another, that having been re-en-
forced by General Quim5y S troops, they
returned and renewed the attack upon
Greenwood The latter is the more
probable.
An expedition to Austin, Arkansas,
forty miles above Helena, few DAYS
ago, found nothing to capture; but cut
the levees, and flooded the country. 1t
then returned. The Mississippi at Hele-
ma is falling rapidly. The cutting of the
levees at Austin FASTENED that result.
There is a rumor from Senatobia, in
Memphis, that 1900 National troops
were lately at Greenwood, unable to get
on the transports by reason of the over
flow of the country. They were, there
fore, attempting to make their way North
by land, aud Chalmers, the rebel com
manier, was mastering large force to
prevent such a movement
This purports to be two days later
news than that by Yazoo Pass, but needs
confirmation. The water is still pouring
through the Lake Providence Canal
The news from there is to Sunday last
The health of the troops is still good
Stirring times and success over the enc
my may be anticipated

To the voters of Pigeon Township

Unused to electioneering, l have
adopted this method of soliciting your
votes for Township Trustee.
By far the most important of the duties
of the trustee is certainly the supervision
and care of the schools. We have only
to look to our city schools to see what
the efforts of one or two efficient men
have been able to accomplish. While l
do not presume that my abilities equal
those of the gentlemen referred to, yet
my ambition would lead me to emulate
their example, and if elected, l promise
that any school talent l may possess
(and six years of my life have been spent
in the business of teaching,) shall be
with my best energies put forth in en-
deavoring to improve the condition o.
the Township Schools.

From Lake Providence.
Condition of the Cut Off.
Later from Steers Bayou Expedi
tion-Its Success.

The arrival of the United States gun
boat Curlew, captain George Hentig in
command, brings later news from below.
The Curlew left Lake Providence on
Sunday, making the run to this city in
about three days When she left below,
our correspondent says everything was
in the most prosperous condition. The
health of the Federal troops was good
excellent in comparison to what it was a
few weeks since, and all felt joyous at the
near approach. as they all believed, of
the capture of Vicksburg.
The "cut off, it was universally be-
lieved, would prove a success, even be-
yond what has been anticipated by the
land forces. Our correspondent informs
us that even the steamboatmen were now
confident it would do all that was pre-
dicted by its projectors
The expedition, it will be remembered,
was few days since returning for addl-
tional munitions and stores. 1t is now
supplied with everything necessary, ard
has gone back accompanied by Quimby s
forces, the object of which is to renew
the attack on Greenwood.

of no special Importance. No move
ments had been made of any note at the
time our correspondent wrote, but active
preparations were being made for some
thing that would result in the evacuation
of Vick.burg or capture of the entire
rebel forces in that place, within thirty
days. The Confederates cannot hold
their position much longer. 1t was ac-
credited that they were already making
preparations to pull up stakes and move;
and the news they have received ere this
from Haines' Bluff will tend very much
to expedite their desire to leave before il
gets too hot. They have a faint remem-
brance of Columbus The expedition up
Steeles Bayou has met with no obstacles
of Importance, and four of the feet had
arrived at their destination, about ten
miles above Haines' Bluff, on the Yazoo
River. Here, then, we have two expedi-
tons by water against Vicksburg, either
of which will result in the opening OF
the Mississippi, providing that success
crowns the project.

We have heretofore, on several oc-

terings which are daily coming up from

We are assured by intelligent and well
posted Union citizens of Daviess and
Henderson counties that secret, oath
bound associations exists among the reb-
ell sympathizers in Daviess, Henderson,
Hart Breckenridge, Hancock, Ohio, Nc
Lean, Meade, and other counties on, or
contagious to the border, the object of
which is to give assistance and in:orma-
ton to the enemy, and be prepared for
their advent into that section of the
State. We have not the slightest doubt

GONG TO THE REBEL ARMY.-We have
it from undoubted authority that not less
than one hundred men, who have been
engaged in various capacities, as drivers,
grooms, &c, at the Fair. Grounds at Lou
isvilie, for the Government, have left
Louisville during the past two weeks to
join the rebel army in Tennessee, as
guerrillas. An effort was made to in
duce number of boys and young men
from the city to go into this movement,

are still engaged in their nelarious work

Gazette says:
A gentleman from Young's Point,
says there are indications that warm
work may soon be expected Fartagut' S
fleet had passed the batteries at Port
Hudson, with the loss of the steamer Mis-
sissippi. Six steamers succeeded in get
ting by, and are below the mouth of the
canal.
Yesterday morning, heavy and con-
tinuous firing was heard up the Yazoo,
the reports being mostly those of light
artillery, with occasional heavy guns.
Last night an urgent demand for re-en-
forcements came, and to-day division
is to be sent to Sherman assistance

says, editorially;
By the arrival of the Curlew from be-
low, we have later news from Lake Provi-
dence The water was still pouring down
the canal, and it will soon be in con-
dition for use.
The Yazoo Pass expedition instead of
abandoning their project, as had been
reported, had simply approached the
Mississippi for supplies, which having
been obtained, it returned, reinforced by
Quimby's division, to renew tie attack
on Greenwood
The Steele's Bayou expedition is con-
sidered the most promising of all the
means hitherto used fer reaching the
rear of Vicksburg and gaining posses
sion of the jackson railroad. Four boats
had gained entrance in the Yazoo, and
if the feet in the Pass take Greenwood,
the two expeditions can unite in destroy
ing the batteries at Yazoo City. When
that is done substantial progress has
been made towards taking Vicksburg.
The spirits of the whole army below are
exultant with the anticipation of coming
success.

The LAST DAY OF GRACE.-This is the
last day of grace given deserters from
the Federal army, in which to re-
turn to duty. We are glad to learn that
large numbers have availed themselves
of the Presidents proposition, but there
are still many skulking
The friends of all such should send
them in to-day. If they delay until to-
morrow, they do it at the peril of their
lives.
1t is said there are one hundred and
twenty-five thousand deserters from our
armies sulking at home. We're these
promptly returned to duty, the necessity
of conscripting world be to great ex-
tent, if not altogether, obviated. 1t is,
therefore, the interest of all to send these
skulkers back. The Government, more
over, has determined to gather up every
deserter, and henceforth immunity to
such need not be expected. Be warned
in time!
