The Columbus papers refer to the
discovery in that city of a company
formed for the purpose of carrying
on contraband trade with the rebels.
The names of the parties implicated
have not yet been made public, but
men of high position are said to be
embraced, both Republicans and
Democrats, and the State Journal
announces its determination to pub
ish the names as soon as a full list
can be procured. A rebel emissa-
ry from Virginia is said to have Wis
tied Columbus and organized the as
sociation. Its plan of operations
is to establish line of vessels to ply
between New York and a West In
dia port, and from thence to Mex
ican port on the Texan -frontier-the
vessels to carry out goods for the
rebels, and to receive cotton in ex-
changes. If anything tangible is dis
covered we shall probably soon hear
Of. some official action being taken in
to the matter.

The battle of the Rappahannock
though involving large loss of
life, was not so serious In this respect
as the first accounts Indicated
That the enemy suffered more Sc
vereIy than we did Is manifest from
their own statements in regard to
their losses and the fact that they
did not attempt to interfere with
the re-crossing of our troops, all of
whom passed over In safety, bring
ing along their arms and effects of
every description.
The army of Hooker is represent
ed to be in good condition and fine
spirits. Dispatches few days since
announced most positively that it
had re-crossed the river and was
again acting on the offensive, Lee
retreating before it toward Rich
mond. Later dispatches contradict
all this, and say no movement has
been made. In the midst of such con-
ficting accounts it is difficult to
know what to believe.
Saturday and Sunday dispatches
went over the wires announcing the
fan of Richmond, and though they
did not purport to emanate from
any reliable source, many persons
placed eredence in them, only tobe
chagrined and disappointed by the
contradiction which speedily follow
ed.
A movement is said to have COM
menced toward Richmond from the
Department of Gen. Dix, but wheth-
er such is the fact or not, or wheth-
er If true it is likely to result in any
thing decisive, are matters of doubt.
Gen. Grant has been gaining some
advantages in Mississippi,
but the reported capture of 11,0O0
rebel prisoners on the Big Black is
all CANNON. We give elsewhere the
particulars of the successes in that
region.
Gen. Rosecrans has not yet met
the enemy in ageneral engagement;
but portions of his forces have been
some very successful raids
into the heart of the rebel country
One expedition under Col. Sleight,
is however reported to have been
near Rome, Georgia, which
point they were trying to reach.
We have the usual report repeat
ed every few days that another as
sault on Charleston is about to be
made, but as yet no movement of the
kind has taken place.

TAKING TEE OATH The Nashville Union
of the 25tb says: s7l9 s@
%'1he rush at the Capitol Of citizens desiring
to comply with the late order of Gen. Mitch
ell was so great, it was found absolutely ne
cessary to increase the number of clerks from
four to twelve.T By far the greater number
took the oath of allegiance; but very few pre-
ferring the parole of honor We presume
that by the time the sten days expire, almost
all Of our citizens will have shown their hands.
As the pressure is great to-day, Sunday
will not be counted as one of the ten days.
We think We are justified in stating that in a
day or two an order will be issued for those
who decline to take either the oath of allegi-
ance or the parole Of honor, to come forward
and enroll their names, that they may be sent
beyond the Federal lines. The authorities are
in earnest, and will see that the general order
is strictly enforced" --

1t seems to be an established fact
that one of the results of the recent
battle on the Rappahannock was the
death of the famous rebel General,
StonewaH Jackson. Gen. Lee, in his
first despatch to JEFF Davis from the
battlefield, speaks of his being very
seriously wounded; the Richmond
papers all refer to his wound, say his
left arm was shattered and was am
putated near the shoulder; and we
now have the finale in the subioined
despatch from the Headquarters of
the Army of the Potomac:
May Richmond papers of yes
terday announce the death of Stone
wall jackson on Sunday afternoon,
from the effects of his recent ampu-
tation and pneumonia.
The estimation in which he was
held by the rebels, and the extent of
his loss to their cause, may be infer
red from the following extract from
the Richmond Examiner of the 5th,
referring to the part he took in the
battle of the Sd:
'That his personal conduct had even more to
do with the fate Of the day than usual, may be
fairly inferred from the fact that be has, fer
the first time in these many battles, received
a severe wound. The exultatisn of the coun-
try at the success of his troops is diminished
by this intelligence. We cannot afford to
lose this man. He has been the good genius
of the war. His extraordinary ability, and
the astonishing prestige which attends him
everywhere, is power of the republic, and
the loss of them would be ill-replaced by the
accession offifty thousand veteran troops to
our present force"

There has been another lot of con-
victions by the military court sitting
in Cincinnati of persons charged
with violating Order 80. Thomas
Perkins, Geo. P. Sims, VIM. S. Bur-
CESS, and John r. Lyle, were each
convicted of being spies caught with
in our lines, and sentenced to be
hung; and John G. Shore, of the
109th Illinois regiment, was tried for
-desertion, convicted, and sentenced
to be shot. The finding and SEN
tence in each case has been appro-
we'd by Gen. Burnside, and the exc
cutions ordered to take place on the
29th inst. at Johnson's Island, near
Sandusky City.

THE WRECK OF THE ANGLO SAxoN.-She
got into mass of floating ice on the 25th;
there was a dense fog; it was dangerous to
work the engines, so she drifted all night On
the 26th, at 10 a. M, the fog cleared; clear
water was visible from masthead; at p M.
she got clear of ice and steersd at full speed
northwest. She was, by nooa reckoning, in a
position which should have given Cape Race
40 or SO miles distance. A strong southerly
breeze and dense fog soon set in; the ship
was steered so as to pass Cape Race at dis
tance of II miles. AT II a. M, while going
at full speed, breakers were reported; the en-
gines were instantly reversed, but before they
had revolved she struck fat on the rocks at
Clum Cove, four miles north of Cape Race
As she could not get off, attention was given
to landing the passengers; some were got into
boats; some landed on the rocks from the stud
ding sail booms; 2O7 in all were thus saved,
53 cabin, 103 steerage and II crew. About
noon the ship suddenly swung off and sunk in
80 feet of water. The Captain and a great
number of passengers were on deck at the
time and all were lost. If the statement of
the number Of passengers and crew is correct.
there are 237 lives lost.

Hon. JOHN J. CRrrrENDEN. of Kv

Hon. JOHN J. CRTTTENDEN, of KY,
because of his opposition to some of
the war measures of the Administra-
ton has been claimed as belonging
to the Vallandigham peace party,
and opposed to the further prosecu-
tion of the war. He was renomina-
ted for Congress few days since by
the unconditional Union men of the
Lexington district, and in speech
before the nominating convention
clearly defined his position. He de-
clares himself in favor of a vigorous
prosecution of the war till the rebel
lion is suppressed and the rebels re-
turn to their allegiance to the Gov
ernment; and he pledged himself to
vote the men and means necessary
for the attainment of that end.

[From the Cambridge lAd,J Intelligencer, April q
We were present at the great Union Mass
Meeting in Baltimore on Monday evening last.
Never did we witness such magnificent pop
ular demonstration. The assemblage was as
remarkable for the glowing enthusiasm of its
loyalty, as for the majesty of its numbers.
There were no conditions to its patriotism.
The speakers ard the people clearly entertain
ed the same broad comprehension Of and un-
conditional devotion to, the great conflict of
the age. This is shown not only by speeches
delivered, but by the resolutions which were
offered. The two following have the ring Of
the true metal. and give out no uncertain
sound: fstb cd -e5ia -a isr-
Resolvsd, That the origin and progress of
the rebellion leave no room to doubt that the
institution of slavery has become an instru-
ment in the hands of traitors TO build an oil
garchy, an aristocraey Oh, the ruins of republi-
can liberty. That its continued existence is
incompatible with the maintenance of republi-
can forms of government in the States in sub
ordination to the Constitution of the United
States; and that the Emancipation Proclama-
tion of the President ought to be made laa0 by
Congress, and tdct by all the power placed by
traitors have no right 10 enforce the obedience
of slaves; and that against traitors in arms,
the President should use all men, white or
black, in the way they can be most useful, and
to the extent they can. be used, whether it be
to handle a spade or shoulder musket ss
Resolved, That. the safety and interest of
the State of Maryland, and especially y of her
white labofing people, require thai slavery
should cease to be reoogized by the law of
Maryland, and that the aid of the United
States as Recommended by the President,
ought to be asked and accepted 10 alleviate
the public and private Inconvenience incident
to the change, Fs ...f.4..5r4 -.
The fact that these two resolutions were
read twice, and the wild enthusiasm with
which that vast assembIage received them, is
evidence enough that the public mind is be-
coming fully alive to the malicious character
of slavery. Our people are beginning to see
the absolute necessity for its destruction, aud
they are going to work at it in right good
earnest. All the speakers upon this occasion
handled the peculiar institution without
gloves. There was no lodging the question
The issue was met boldly and squarely
The lion was bearded in his den. -4-.s. i

The Editor of the Springfield Re
public has taken special pains to as
certain the amount of Sorghum syr-
up manufactured in Clark county
the past season, and the result shows
an aggregate of IA, ,444 gallons, which
at so cents per gallon, would amount
to 1886 40. There are 88 counties
in the State, and assuming Clark to
be an average county, the yield for
the State would be nearly thirteen
million gallons, worth over six mil
lion dollars. This is pretty good
showing for an article of recent in
PRODUCTION and which for time was
generally considered failure.

TIE BAYOU TECHE REGIoN.-This section
in which Banks recent successes took place, is
distant some seventy-hve miles west from New
Orleans. 1t is the country traversed by the
Atchafalaya water system Of bayous, the

LAtchafalaya being the old deserted channel of
the Red river; and now a. grass widow of a

A-port on the Gulf which has been busy with

important communication with the outside
world is now fully straDgled and lost to the

INCREASE OF E41aRAT1oN.-O of the most
remarkable signs Of the time is the extraordi-
nary increase of emigration within the last
couple of months. From January up to
date over 1900 emigrants have landed at
New York, but of these some 5000 arrived
within the past week, and all the ships now
due from the other side are crowded with emil
grants. 1t is expected that, compared with
the same period last year, four times the num-
ber Of emigrants viii land at this port up to
July L. N. 7. World.

WASHINGTON, May I2,-Late adYices from
New Orleans state that the recent successes of
Gen. Banks, have been greater than the first
reports indicated. Without cavalry, or sin
gle iron-clad gunboat, he has driven the ene-
my hundreds of miles; beaten them in every
engagement; captured 1000 prisoners, and all
their guns; destroyed many of their powerful
gunbosts, and secured large supplies of ammu-
milton, cotton, sugar, cattle, horses, and ex-
peditsd the capture of Port Hudson.

STATEMENT.

II ! were to indulge in wholesale criticisms
of the policy of the Government, it would de-
moralize the army under my command, and
every friend of his country would call me
traitor If the officers or soldiels were to in
dulge in such criticisms, it would weaken the
army to the extent Of their influence; and if
this criticism were universal in the army, it
would cause it to be broken to pieces, the Gov
ernment to be divided, our homes to be invad-
ed and anarchy to reign. My duty to my
Government forbids me to indulge in such

General HalIeck: --.s..--. .,.
1 learn that Colonel Grierson, with his cav
airy, has been heard of; first. about ten days
ago, in Northern Mississippi. He moved
thence and struck the railroad thirty miles
east Of jackson, at a point called Newbon's
Station. He then moved southwark toward
Enterprise, demanded the surrender of the
place, ard gave an hours grace, during which
General Loring arrived. He left at once to
ward Hazel Hurst, on the New Orleans and
jackson Railroad. At this point he tore up
the track Thence he passed to Babala, ten
miles further south on the same road, and
thence eastward on the Natchez road, where
he had a fight with Wiert Adams Cavalry
From this point he moved back to the New
Orleans and jackson railroad to Brook Ha-
ven, ten miles south of Bahala, and when last
heard from, he was three miles from Summit,
and was supposed to be making his way to
Baton Rouge. He had spread excitement
throughout the State, destroying railroads,
trestl6wofks and bridges, burning locomotives
and railroad stock, taking prisoners, and de-
stroying stores of all kinds.

Besides the heavy artillery at this place, four.

GENERAL ORDERS NO.-49.
The Major General commanding tenders to
this army bis congratulations on the achieve
ments for lie last seven days. If it has not
accomplished al that was expected, the reasons
are well known to the army.
It il sufficient to say they were Of charae-
ter net to be foreseen or prevented by human
sagacitv or resources. In Withdrawing from
the south bank of the RappahaDnock before
delivering general battle to our adversary,
the army has given renewed evidence OF its
confidence in itself and its fidelity to the prin-
cipges It represents in fighting at disadVan-
taoe. We woald have been recreant to our
trust, 70 ourselves, our cause and our country.
Profoundly loyaT and conscious of its strength,
the Army of the Potomac viii give or decline
battle whenever its interest or honor may de-
mand It win also be the guardian Of IT'S own
history and its own arm. By our .celerity and
secrecy of movement, our advance and passage
Of the river was uDdisputed, and on our with
drawai, not q rebel ventured to follow. The
events OF the last week may swell with pride
the heart Of every officer and soldier of this
army.
We have added new laurels 70 its former re-
nown. We have made long marches, crossed
rivers, surprised the enemy in his intrench-
ments, and wherever we have fought we bave
inflicted heavier blows than we have received
We have taken from the enemy 5000 pris-
oners and fifteen coIors, captured and brought
off seven pieces Of artillery, and placed hors'da
combat $4,000 Of his chosen troops.
We have destroyed his depots filed with
vast amounts Of stores, damaged bis communi-
cations, captured prisoners within the fortifca-
tions Of his capital, and filed bis country with
fear and consternation. We have no other re-
gret than that caused by the loss of our brave
comrades, ana m this we are consoled by the
conviction that they have fallen in the holiest
cause ever submitted to the arbitrament Of
battle By command O. Major General
