GEE. NATHAN KIMBALL.-We had the
pleasure of meeting, on Sunday, on
board the steamer Glendale, this distin-
guished gentleman and SCARED veteran,
en- roete from a kansas, to Washington
City. Few officers of the army have won
position mere honorably, or by more
gallant service than our esteemed Hoos-
Ter General
Having won distinction by gallant
service in the war with Mexico, he early
responded to the call of his country up
on the breaking out of the rebellion, and
was with great unanimity chosen CoIonel
of the celebrated 18th Indiana, which
has on all trying occasions lead the ad-
vance of the Cast Iron Brigade of the
veteran Army of the Potomac.
Cheat Mountain, Winchester, Malvern
Hill, Fredericksburg and Antietam, all
lent brillianee to his achievements, in
the East; while Yazoo City, the siege of
Vicksburg and the Arkansas Expedition
in thesWest added lustre to his name.
Indiana may well be proud of her
Generals and her heroes, and among
them all Brig. Gen. Nathan Kimball
stands conspicuous. We were glad to
see him in magnificent health, and ex-
uberant spirits. He gives most favor
able and encouraging account from Ar
kansas. Three full regiments of native
Arkansas troops have been organized
into our army since the occupation of
Little Rock, and the rebel power is COM
pletely broken in that State.
Gen. KimbaH reports the loyalty of
Arkansas beyond all question, and the
people there are anxious to exchange
slavery for freedom, and the protection
of the Government

QUE PUBLIC SGHooLs.-We published
yesterday morning a report of cur Pub
lie Schools, which we think will do great
credit to our city. There are, as will be
seen, eighteen different departments pre-
sided over by competent teachers, to the
number of thirty-six, which is force
sufficient to insure full justice done to
the number of scholars in average daily
attendance.
We are sorry to see such a large per
centage tardy and absent. This works
great injustice both to teacher and pu-
pill. There is no necessity for either
absence or hardness 1t should be the
aim of parents TO see that their
children attend school regularly and
promptly, as the interest of the school i,
thereby greatly promoted
We believe our schools are the best in
the State, and by the cordial co-opera.

" improved.

Hooker,s Retrograde movement.
The following is from the noon edition of
the New York Tribune of Friday:

The following is from the noon edition of
the New York Tribune of Friday:
Among the reasons assigned in well informed
quarters Tor the retrograde movement are ::
First, the flight of the Eleventh Corps, which
rendered Gen. Sickles' movement nugatory
and forced the army out of the carefully Sc
lected field of battle TO which Gen. Hooker re-
ierred in his general order of April 80, and
compelled him to receive the enemys attack
among the densely wooded hills, where it was
impossible TO bring all or nearly all our troops
into action.
Second, the rising of the Rappahannock, in
consequence OF the storm, which was likely to
endanger the line OF communication between
the army and its supplies, particularly as the
railroad communication with Aqua Greek
having been destroyed by the food for twelve
hours at Brooks station.
Third, Ignorance of the success of Gen.
Stoneman's expedition, from which Gen.
Hooker did not hear until he had recrossed.
There are few simple facts that it may be
well to remember. They are these: Hooker,
being ignorant of Stoneman's success, had no
means of knowing that Lee would not be still
further reinforced; powerful rain storm was
prevailing; he was without tents and his men
were exposed to the inclemency of the storm;
the river was fast rising and thus threatening
to interrupt his communication with his sup
plies.
Under such circumstances had he neglected
to recross the river, and in consequence of ex-
posure his men had suffered extensively from
disease, or had his supplies been interrupted
by the swelling stream, or had Lee received
such reinlorcements that he could overwhem
him, then should MT we have had some loud
specimens of complaining, and of inveighing
against his rashness Hooker, unfortunately,
was not gifted with omniscience, and could
neither foretell what the storm would effect,
nor divine what Stoneman had accomplished,
nor was he gifted with omnipotent power, SO
that he could control the elements and stay
the rising food, but he has proved that he is
endowed with sufficient courage to make
bold attack, while he is wanting neither in the
prudence to suggest nor the ability.to conduct
a successful retreat.

A VOICE FROM NEW ORLEANs.-A cores
pondent of the Bath Times communicates to
that paper an extract from an article written,
by Rev. VIM. G. Duncan, ID. D., of New Or
leans, and published in religious paper in
Boston. DR.. Duncan is native Of the South
is a gentleman of education, and an author of
some renown. He was for a number of years
Professor of Greek in the University of Lou
isiana, and pastor of the Coliseum Place Bap-
fist Church in New Orleans. He has been
from the first an incorporating and a thor
ough going Unionist. He would not counte-
nance treason and rebellion; therefore he was
compelled to flee from New Orleans, leaving
his family to the mercy ofthe traitors. He re-
turned to the city, as soon as it was occupied
by our troops, and has since been rendering
good service to the Union cause. We make
a single extract from the article referred to:
The Proclamation inflicts upon the beast
that has ragged so long and violently mortal
wound. For time, his old vigor may seem
to be unimpaired; but sooner than many think
he will become faint from loss of blood, and
then he will stagger and fall. When he falls,
the rebellion, having no leader and no object,
will gradually give way, and after few spas
modic efforts AT vengeance, will cease to dis
tract the land. Those who once preferred the
Union will return to their former love; while
those who have been malcontents from the be-
ginning will accept the altered condition of
things, first inevitable, and finally as better
than that former state i'll which every knee
had, consciously or unconsciously, to bow be-
fore the image of the iron visaged monster
that sat upon the throne of the South. l say,
without figure of speech, Kill stdrery and
sare the country. l am convinced that the
Proclamation was timely, as l know, and all
men know, it was deserved, and now all that
remains is to ENFORCE IT AT THE POINT OF

LETTER FROM Mr.. ADAMs.-The following
letter from Mr.. Adams, in reply to an applica-
ton for a certificate similar to that which has
created so much excitement in England, ought
to dispose OF the unjust differences which have
been drawn from that document:
LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,
LONDON, April %, 1863.
Sir IL have TO acknowledge the reception
of your note dated yesterday. Iregret to per-
ceive that you labor under a misconception of
the course taken by me heretofore. 1t must
be obvious to you that hare no authority to
exercise any discrimination in regard either
TO the uesseis or the cdrgoes of Her Mqjestys
subjects When they are engaged in legal I'M
dertakings, they have right to rely upon the
protection of her Government, and they will
undoubtedly obtain it. When it is otherwise,
OF course they would not expect it from her,
or ask IL from a representative of the United
States.
am, sir, your obedient servant,

O-o--O--
BigBlck Station.
oGrand Gulf.

phis and Charleston railway, from Memphis to
Corinth, 80 miles, has been held by our troops
since the battle of Shiloh, a year ago last
April. Gen. Dodge has recently pushed east
ward on the same road to Tuscumbia, 80 miles
further. Ii he can hold that position, it will
be impossible for Pemberton and Bragg to
communicate except by circuitous route
through Atlanta, Georgia, and thence to
Chattanooga. But if Pemberton could reach
Meridian, after evacuating Vicksburg-a pos
sible contingency, at least-he might go south
ward over the Mobile and Ohio railway, or
eastward as just mentioned to Atlanta. 1t
is precisely this contingency which Gen.
Dodge's cavalry have just provided for OF
the 95 miles of railroad between jackson and
Meridian, it is reported that twenty have just
been destroyed.
From Jackson the enemy would only have
the choice of running north into our lines at
Grand junction, PIP miles, or south to New
Orleans, 1873 miles, and neither would be de-
sirable alternative. But suppose he repairs
the damaged road and holds on to Vicksburg,
receiving supplies from Alabama and other
eastern States. This is what he will probably
attempt to do, and in that case the possession
of navigable river, by which our gunboats
may be brought into the rear OF Vicksburg,
becomes a great advantage. The distance
from Vicksburg to Jackson is As miles. Big
Black station, on the Big Black river, is II
miles east of Vicksburg. Grand Gulf is 55
miles from jackson as the bee flies, and 80
from Vcksburg-b the course ofthe Mississip-
pi, much farther, IS miles, it is said. Ofcourse
the navigation of the Big Black will be OBJ
structed by all means possible; but it seems
clear, that the elaborate works at Grand Gulf
were relied upon for its defense, and that now,
when these have been found incomplete and
captured, we may fairly hope that no hastily
constructed batteries will serve to check the
combined advance Of our army and navy.
Since the above was in type news comes
that Gen. Grant is already 80 miles up the
BIC Black river

"Sky Rocket" who has written long
communication TO prove that the earth is
boiler, and that 'the poles are only holes in
the ground" is very anxious that his article
should be printed, as il is the "extent Of his
soaring ambition to get his name into the pa
pers." We know of no shorter and surer way
for him to do so than to throw himself into
the "holer' of the earth, or to jump over
board in deep water. We would not be un-
derstood as advising suicide, but we doubt if
that would be more offensive to our readers
than his preparation Of cold-blooded murder
the murder of the Kings English.
