EGr A correspondent of the Missouri
Republican writing from Memphis on
the 2Sth ult, says of the situation at
Vicksburg: .r
II understand there will be no more
charging and useless waste of life in the
capture of Vicksburg. Gen. Grant has
adopted a plan that cannot fail in re-
ducing the city to ruins in less than
three weeks from the date of this letter.
Those who regard Vicksburg as the
stronghold of the Confederacy-the one
on which the center pillar of the whole
structure rests, will soon receive the NOR
tifying intelligence that the base of the
Confederate States of America has been
removed The capture Of Vicksburg is
only a matter of time, and as | have
said, that time will not exceed three
weeks
l have just had conversation with a
gentleman direct from Panola, about
seventy-Gve miles from this city He
left that place on Tuesday morning. 1t
was stated, and universally believed,
that Gen. Joe. E. Johnston was in
: command of fourteen thousand men at
jackson, and that his army was being
daily increased. All he lacked to make
his forces efficient was artillery and am
munition. They are daily expected
from Mobile and Charleston.
jackson, previously to being abandon
ed by the Federals, was almost entirely
destroyed. All of the machine shops,
factories, mills, railroad depot and ma
chinery were burned-the railroad track
and bridges torn up. When the FEEDER
ais left it was miserable skeleton of it:

General Rosecrans on Slavery.

The following spirit-stirring letter,
from the victorious comm ander of the
Army of the Cumberland to the Catholic
Telegraph, has been lying on our table
for some time We can no longer crowd
it from our columns, for nothing that we
can publish has more Of the ring of true
patriotism and enlightened philanthropy:
MURFREEsBoRo', April 27, 1868.
My Dear Father Edtcard The rebels
grabbed the last letter 1wrote you, but
they will draw very little consolation
from its contents lam happy to
see the splendid stand you took in the
Telegraph against slavery, with its hor-
rors, barbarities and base immoralities.
Slavery is dead Nothing can resusci-
tate it. To learn this fact fully, you
should pay US visit There is not a
negro in the South who does not know
he is free. Around here they have squat
ted on the plantations, and refuse to work
for any one but themselves. They have
sown little crops of their own, and the
control over them
As an indication, | will cite a strong
case The lady of the house where am
staying attempted to punish one of her
negro women this morning l bad to
step IN to save the mistress from being
badly used up, as the darkey was bella
boring her with the stick intended for
her own punishment Ec ano disco
OnlneS. 1t is needless for me to say
that | applaud every sentiment you have
expressed in the Telegraph Your
course is that of the prudent navigator,
who, watching the black speck on the
horizon, sees it expand into portentous
storm, and calls up his crew to take in
sail and prepare for contest with the
elements. The storm will pass away,
and you will be found sailing under full
sail, while those who took no heed will
be scattered by the gale 1
am heart and hand with you in this
cause. Slavery is doomed, and those
who would now uphold it will be held up
in very short time for public odium
and execration. No statesman will vim
dicate it, no friend of human progress
will stretch forth hand to break its fall,
no lover of humanity and religion will
grieve over its overthrow. | have lived
long enough in the South to see its work
ings, its disgusting features, debasing
the higher principles of our nature, war
ring with religion, and patronizing vice
and immortality. Almighty God has GER
tainly ordained its destruction in this
country, where it has been more often
sive and immoral than in any other, and
until it is utterly extinct, this war can
mot, from the nature of things, cease. I
am in favor of cessation of hostilities
at as early a day as possible therefore,
l am in favor of the PRESIDENT $ Procla-
nation, This State was made for white
people and free labor, and when slavery
no longer blights its borders We may ex-
pect to see the church and the school

gGF The Free Labor movement in
Tennessee, appears to be gaining
strength and popularity. The following
letter from Gen Payne to Gen. Rose
Grams, indicates that the large slavehold-
ers themselves are astonished at the
a;ara--------- '--
work done by negro, when he is paid
for his labor:
"GALLATIN, Tenn, June My plan
for changing slave to hired labor is work
ing admirably We are hiring the black
people to their own masters. We say to
the servant that he is to have eight dol
lars per month, and is to be faithful, and
good, and work hard We say to him in
the presence of his former owner, that if
his employer does not pay him at the end
of the month in good money, then he is to
return. We make written contracts, in
which the slave is only known as hired
man.
THE Fairview estate has upon it 100
slaves The estate is four miles from
here The trustees and overseers came
to me to go there and compel the black
people to work. told them | should
do so, but should make it charge on
the estate to pay them for their labor.
They at once agreed to it, | went
down and told the black men that they
should have eight dollars per month, and
the women five, and l would stop the
pay of any lazy or disobedient servant,
and punish him besides. You can
form no idea of the great change in
these people. The overseer is compelled
to report to me each week, and he says
there has never been anything ike it.
They never had as much work done, nor
half as we'll done, before

rebels from an earthwork and held it for
some time. The rebels were reinforced,
and returning, killed eleven men, Griffith
being knocked insensible to the ground.
The rebels occupied the work, and con-
tinued to fire at our men. Just as they
all discharged their pieces, Griffith re-
turned to consciousness and seizing his
musket jumped to his feet and demand
ed that they should surrender Their
muskets being empty and his loaded, he
forced them, ten in number, to comply
He made them lie down and stay there
until he found a convenient opportunity
to march them within the Federal lines,
which he did in safety.
Griffith is represented as quite youth,
but we can see he is not lacking in cour-
age. +.aa l
