Admiral tanagut requested that an iron
clad and two, rams might be sent down 70
him, anticipating danger from below. The
rams lancaster and Switzerland we're
ordered down by Gen. Elet, with picked
crews. The former was commanded by
Lieut.. Col. Jno. A. Ellet, and the latter by
Col. Chas. r. Elet. The rams started 10
the Vicksburg batteries at FIVE o'clock this
morning, having been unavoidably delayed.
The Switzerland took the lead, and had
reached midway between the batteries
when shot struck the boiler, exploding it
and scalding three negroes badly, and the
mate, G. Conner, slightly. The vessel
then foated down the river and was taken
in tow by the AIbatross.
Her damage is slight, and she will be ut
for service in day or two.
The Lancaster, less fortunate, was struck
soon after passing the first battery, one
shot striking her, almost splitting her hull
IN twain, and several passing through her
in swain and several prssidg through her
bsilers and cutting her steam pipe. She
soon commenced to sink, but fearing she
might fall into the hands Of the rebels,
Lioat Colonel Ellet discharged bis regol-
er into the cotton around Der boilers and
set her on fire.
Her bow went under, however, and in a
few seconds the vessel disappeared beneath
the engulphing waves.
One Of her pilots, Thos. L. w. Kitson,
lost leg. and II. S. Brows. her engineer
was slightly scalded. orderly Sergeant
William Mcdonald is missing, and was
probably drowned.
The crews Of the vessels behaved nobly
and obeyed orders promptly. To this
they are indebted for their escape from

WASHINGTON. March 81.

The subject of Kentucky reinstatement
Of escaped contrabands, by virtue Of her To-
cal laws, is said TO have given rise to pro-
tracted Cabinet CONSULTATION.
The Government has authorized Gen. Ull-
man to raise black brigade, and Gov. An
drew to raise couple Of negro regiments;
but beyond that, no authority has yet been
given TO any one to enlist black troops
Scores Of petitions have come in from per-
sons wishing 10 be officers ofblackregiments;
but the War Department positively refuses
to give further authority TO anybody, for the
present. 1t is intimated, however. that they
mean soon 10 begin the work of enlisting ne

Arbitrary Arrests.

1t was Tor many years urged against
General Jackson that he had imprisoned
suspected traitors without allowing them
trials upon the charges preferred. This
was for the acts of Jackson 10 the war Of
1912, when Judge Hall and generally the
rich men Of New Orleans favored the Brit
ish, and threw every impeachment in the
way of our arms that they could invent
In the year A, bill was before Congress
involving Jaekson's conduct, at which time
Stephen A. Douglas became General Jack
sons chief defender. Bee Ccng. Globe,
Jan. TO-, "A, where the following remarks
by Douglas may be found:
The necessity and the glorious effect re,
sulting from the cause which that necessity
prompted, were acknowledged by the whole
country, and he would even say by the
whole civilized world. Then, as far as this
bill Is concerned, he Mr.. ID. could mol say
whether their acts were legal or illegal
He cared not whether General jackson yio-
lated the constitution or not. Hacared not
whether General Jackson suspenl J all civ
il authority or not.
If his acts were necessary to the defense
OF the country, that necessity was above all
law. General Jackson hazarded every
thing; he hazarded both life and reputa-
ton on that step, which might render him
immortal if he saved the country, or, on
the contrary, make him ignominious and a
by.word and reproach; and the man that
deserved the protection and plaudits of his
country. He did not envy the feelings Of
that man who could get up aud talk calm
y and coolly under such circumstances
about rules Of court, and technicalities OF
proceedings, when tue city might be in
flames and the utmost basbauty might be
committed.
