From Vicksburg.

CAIRO, Dec. 1l.-By arrival to- night
from the mouth of the Yazoo, We have
authentic accounts from Vicksburg.
Sherman's repulse is complete. The
entire force under the direction of Nc.
Clernand re-embarked on Saturday on
the transports, closely pressed by rebe
advance, which, coming in range of the
gunboats, were driven back with severe
loss.
At last accounts the entire fleet OF
transports with the troops had arrived
at Island 80, Oh their way to Napoleon.
Nothing definite from Banks or Far
ragut, though runOrs of their advance
are in circulation.
The engagement was less general
than has been heretofore supposed. 1t
is reported the principal fighting was
done by the centre. under the CON-
mand of Smith and Blair. The con-
dnct of the latteris highly spoken OF.
Our loss, as near as could be ascer-
tanned, is fifteen hundred wounded, six
hundred killed, and thousand miss
ing.
Captain Gwin, of the gunboat Ben
ton, died of wounds received at the
recent attack on Haines' Bluff.
The steamer Mnsselnan was burr en-
by gurrillas at Bradley's Landing, ten
miles above Memphis, on the 9Th.
Capt. Moore, in command of about 100
men, attacked camp of 500 rebels at
Huntoon's Mills, IS miles east of Fort
Pillow, on the morning Of the 9Th. The
rebels were completely surprised, l6
of them killed, 46 taken prisoners, and
SO horses and lot of small arms cap
turcd. Two Federals were wounded.
The expedition was absent from the
fort only 81 hours.

State LEGISLATURE,


Our State Legislature met in Lam
sing on the 9Th and organized with all
the members present save two.
The Senate perfected lis organiza-
ton by the election of w. A. Bryce.
Secretary; w. A. Whitney, Engross-
ing Clerk; and w. A. Brockway, Ser
geant- at Arms. The House elected
S. M. Cutcheon, of Ypslanti, Speaker
of the House E. w. Barber, Clerk
w. A. Hall, Engrossing Clerk; and
A. f. Morehouse, Sergeant-at-A Arms.
On the same evening the Republi-
can members held q Caucus, at which
the Hon. Z. Chandler was unanimous
y renominated for United States Sen
ator for six years, from the fourth of
March next. Senator Chandler was
nominated for re- election on vive voce
ballot, without single dissenting vote,
an instance of party unanimity never
before attained. The Democrats met
also at the same time in secret caucus
and nominated James F. Joy, his con-
testant being Elk Gov. Felch.
The next day the election came off,
and every Republican voted for Mr..
Chandler. The vote stood in the
House, Chandler sixty, (eO@ Joy thirty
four, (340 Whitney one, ~. In the
Senate, Chandler eighteen, Qs;) Joy
eleven, Cl;) Felch two, ID w ellis one.
~. The Democrats in both Houses
resorted to factious parliamentary STRAIT
egg to delay the election, but with no
other effect than to make Republicans
more united and determined.
The message of the Governor, pub
lished in this issne,) was delivered in
the House on Thursday before the joint
Convention of the Legislature. There
can be but one opinion in regard 10 it,
and that is, that an ADLER or more patri-
otto message has not been delivered for
years. 1t goes fully into every topic of
interest to the State, recommending a
wise and judicious economy in the pres.
ent state Of the country, and treating
the great national question of the re-
bellion with powerful argument. We
ask for it the careful perusal of our
readers. 1t is an able, a valuable and
an interesting State paper, and breathes
spirit of elevated loyalty that will re.
joice the hearts of all true patriots of
freedom.

Victory In Tennessee.


At last it is safe to say that the armv
under the command of General Rose
Grams has whipped that under General
Brgg. The result of the first days
general engagement was in favor OF
the rebels. They defeated our right
wing, drove back our center, and as
sailed our left with the utmost fury.
They claim to have taken four thou
sand prisoners, and it is admitted that
they captured the batteries of one of
McCook's divisions.
But they had to deal with General
of fixed purposes, the pluckiest posi-
bic fighting disposition, dauntless per-
sonal courage, and great fertility in the
resources suited to an emergency and
this General, it is proven, had an army
worthy of him. The situation, We'd
nesday night, was nearly desperate.
The right wing of the army was shat
tered. Thousands of prisoners and
several batteries had been lost. Many
of our best officers were killed, woun-
ded, or prisoners. The enemy's caval-
ry were harrassing our rear.
From this gloomy condition, the
generous, splendid army, under its un-
fiinching leader, fought its way, against
most formidable enemy, to victory.
Rosecrans and his army have earned
immortal honors.
They have the warm admiration and
deep gratitude of the nation, and will
receive the applause of the world.
Their glory will never fade, but shall
brighten through time, as the magni-
tude of their work, their heroic endur-
ance and noble devotion stand forth
on the living light of history.
1t was not until after four days of
dreadful carnage had passed, that the
stubborn foe gave way. But OH Sun
day our troop occupied Murfreesboro,
and the rebel legions, so lately re-
viewed on that ground by Jeff Davis,
were beaten southwark, mangIed and
dIsOr9aniZed.
The victory has been dearly bought;

boro, wounded. According to the
average proportion there are /, 900 dead

be an everlasting reproach if every ei-
fort within one power were not instant
ty made for their relief Most FORUM
ately the Cumberland River is at a
good stage, and steamers, with the
necessary supplies, may be dispatched
to Nashville without delav.
The ability of General Rosecrans to
pursue the enemy, is questionable. The
army is, doubtless, cruelty shaken and
exhausted by the tremendous combats
in which it has trumphed. But every
regiment that can be spared from Ken

~ The official report of General
Wight to Gen. Halleck fully confirms
the story Of Gen. Carriers railroad
breaking operations in East Tennessee.
He entirely destroyed the Union and
Watauga bridge, with ten miles of rail
road. Five hundred and fifty Rebels
were killed, wounded, and taken pris.
oners. Seven hundred stand of arms,
and large amount of -four, salt, and
other Rebel stores were destroyed.

9WThe Honsa of Ro

gW The House of Representatives
on Tuesday of last week, passed the
bill to aid Emancipation in Missouri by
Yeas, 10; Nays, 46. 1t was opposed
with all the strong venom and feeble
strength OF the Vallandigham and Ben
Wood crowd. by attempts to amend,
postpone, lay on the table, motions to
adjourn, and all the machinery at their
command. The bill provides for the
issue of ten millions of thirty-years'
bonds, payable to loyal owners, the
Government pledging itself to the de-
portation aud colonization of the free
dom. There will probably be very lit
tie delay in its journey through the
Senate.

ing to contemplate, and which We can
hardly expect our people to make.
Seeing this clearly, and after year
and half of effort to subdue the Re
bellion without disturbing existing laws
aud institutions in the insurgent States,
the government OF the United States
has adopted the two great remedies OF
emancipation and confscation. We
are about to strike hands with the en-.
tire loyal population of the South,
whether white or black. We shall no
longer respect the claim of white
traitor to compel a black loyalist to aid
l.im in destroying the government
neither shall we any further admit his
title to use his property of any sort for
the same purpose. BY the proclama-
tons of September 22d, 1862, and JAN
uary lst, 1868, the President, by virtue
of the power vested in him as Com.
mander-in- Chief of the armies and
navies at the United States, has by a
single blow struck the shacklcs from
uear 100000 of slaves, and added
them to the loyal free people OF the Re-
public. This act will be memorable
as long as history endures. 1t has
been done for the strengthening Of the
country against its enemies and under
the war power; but it is not forbidden
to the philanthropist and the good eve
ry%here to rejoice in the redemption
Of race. With it fades away the one
great and humiliating stain upon our
National escutcheon. From this point
our country starts upon new course,
