What the Richmond Enquirer Thinks of the Sit

What the Richmond Enquirer Thinks Of the Sit
FoRTREss MONROE, May I6.-The Richmond
Enquirer, of the 14tb inst, contains the fol-
lowing editorial,
"There is evidently to be an active summer
campaign. The plan of the enemy seems to
be to keep our attention constantly excited at
every point at once, so that no part of our
wide frontier may be freed from the urgent and
immediate apprehension of an attack Then
they can strike where they think our line is
weakest, or where our defenses are the least
prepared, and, if repuised, they can retire and
direct blew at some other quarter In the
meantime, they can bag much plunder and
cause much sorrow, and heart break our peo-
pie, by expeditions through thinly peopled re-
gions, destitute Of troops. They can also
force more and more Of our people within their
lines, to take their hated oath, for quiet life,
and to save their property from con6scation.
'HEhus they can demoralize and reb US with
in our own borders, preparing all the while for
serious assaults, and delivering them JUST when
they are ready and where they choose. 1t is
hard to say at what point they are most active
just now. IF one looks southwestward, it
would seem that the State of Mississippi is
the region of most extensive operations.
"Immense armies are gathering IN and
around Vicksburg, and while preparations are
in progress fer new assault upon that place.
the back country is devastated and the people
plundered by cavalry raids. But at the same
moment, Charleston is kept on the qlri UiUe by
energetic preparations for another attack by
sea or land, or both at once. The object may
be only to prevent Gen. Beauregard from send
ing away any of the troops WHICH now defend
Charleston. At the same instant, Burnside
threatens East Tennessee, and Hooker, largely
reinforced, is expected to cross the Rappahan
neck somewhere or anywhere from Culpepper
to Port Royal, and keep some Of our forces
employed in the defense of Richmond. Rein
forcements are sent to Fortress Monroe, and
the enemys gunboats are harassiRg North

The Union Convention which as
sembled at Cleveland last Wednes-
day was an immense outpouring of
the loyal people of the northern por-
ton Of the State. Stirring and pat
riotic addresses were delivered from
several stands by Hon. Montgomery
Blair, Post Master General, Hon. Da-
vid Paul Brown, of Philadelphia, S.
F. Carey, Gen. Jas. Lane, of Kansas,
Hons. o. Lovejoy, J. A. Bingham,
and J. NJ. Ashley. Letters were
read from Hon. d. S. Dickinson and
other distinguished personages, and
the following resolutions adopted:
Resolved, That ''The Union, it must and
shall be preserved"

We learn from the Capital City Fact, that
on Saturday evening, last, Union meeting
was broken up in Miflin township, by gang
of some fifteen or twenty Copperheads, who
entered the school house in which the meeting
was being held, and with threats of violence,
and the use of language in the presence of la
dies, which none but blackguards would be
guilty of, drove the people from the house.
The party boasted that no Union meeting
should be held in that township.

THE NEWS.

ETOm Tie ARMY Vi Tie OIOI1dC
we are still without news of impor-
tance; and there are no indications
discernible that the state of affairs
at present existing in that region is
likely soon to undergo a change.
The rebel papers speak of the Ian
ding of Union force at West Point,
on the Peninsula, but it is not likely
it indicates an offensive demonstra-
ton of formidable character. The
force under General Dix is hardly
large enough to warrant an advance
against Richmond independent of
the cooperative movement of the
army under Hooker.
The Charleston papers of recent
date are apprehensive of another as
sault upon the city. They say our
forces on the neighboring islands are
erecting formidable works for often
sive operations, and urge the neces-
sity of immediate efforts to dislodge
them. We hope their fears of an
impending attack may prove to be
well founded.
From the Department of the Mis-
sissippi the news is important and
highly encouraging. Gen. Grant
has been pushing the enemy from
point to point, defeating them wher-
ever they ventured to make stand,
and at last advices had captured
jackson, the State Capital of Mis-
sissippi, burnt the capital building
.and other public property, and then
evacuated the place. He seems to
have pretty effectuaHy penned the
rebels in at Vicksburg,. and if no
disaster befals. him must speedily
take that place or cause the enemy
to evacuate it. Indeed, we have re-
ports that it has been evacuated,
but we have frequently had them
before, and they are unworthy of
credence until better authenticated.
These operations, with several very
successful cavalry raids, resulting in
the destruction of millions of dol
lars worth of rebel supplies, and
interrupting their channels of COM
munication by the burning of rail
roae bridges, tend to keep that por-
ton of rebeldom in terrible fer
ment, and admonish the Richmond
magnates that the Mississippi valley
is rapidly being wrested from their
control.
1t seems to be established that
Warrenton has been evacuated, and
it is not unlikely that Port Hud-
son and Vicksburg will speedily fol
low.
Our fleet has ascended the Red
River to Alexandria, which impor-
tant point has been captured, and
the forces of Gen. Banks from lower
after a triumphant march
through the State, formed a junction
at that point with Com. Porter's
feet. On the way up the feet at
tackled and destroyed Fort DeRussy,
a rebel stronghold.
Gen. Rosecrans still occupies his
old position. He has sent several
into-the heart of re-
beldom, but the main body Of his ar
my has not of late materially chang
ed its position.
We have reports of another reb-
Ell raid into Kentucky as about to
take place but there is nothing re-
liable on the subject, and the report
S probably unfouhded.

A rich Tin Mine has been discovered in
Missouri, and company has been formed in

ed that full supply Of the metal may be OBJ

The list of exemptions, as .embrac-
ed in the instructions from the War
Department to Provost Marshals,
comprises ninety sections, of which
ifty-one are devoted to defining
what will constitute physical disa-
bility." Nearly all the maladies to
which man is subject are included
in the list, but to secure exemption
it must appear that the afliction is
of a nature to disqualify the person
for service in the field, and strin-
gent rules are adopted to prevent
examining surgeons granting certifi-
Gates of exemption upon insufficient
cause.

The rebel papers are filed with
lamentations over the death of their
great General, StonewaH jackson;
the particulars of his death; accounts
of his exploits in the field; and de-
tails of the imposing funeral obse-
quies. They all concede the loss to
be not only most serious but irrepa-
rable; and regard the inconsequen-
tial victory claimed as the result of
the contest in which he lost his life
as dearly purchased at such a price,
to say nothing of the hosts of other
valuable officers and brave men kill
ed and wounded in the engagement.
They claim that the wounds which
resulted in his death, were inflicted
by his own men through mistake
The circumstances are thus detailed
in the Richmond Enquirer of the
18th inst:
General Jackson having gone some distance
in front of the line of skirmishers, on Satur-
day evening, was returning, about eight o'clock
attended by his staff and part of his cour-
iers. The calvacade was in the darkaess of
the night, mistaken for a body Of the enemy's
cavalry, and fred upon by a regiment of his
own corps. He was struck by three balls,
one through the left arm, two inches below the
shoulder joint, shattering the bone and sever
ing the chief artery. Another ball passed
through the same arm, between the elbow and
the wrist, making its exit through the palm Of
the hand. A third ball entered the palm of
the right hand, about its middle, passed through.
and broke two bones. He was wounded on
the Plank Road, about tifty yards in advance
Of the enemy. As he fell from his horse, he
was caught By Captain Wormley, to whom he
remarked; ".All my wounds are by my own
men" He had given orders to fire at anything
coming up the road, before he had left the lines
The enemy's skirmishers appeared ahead of
him and he turned to go back just then
some one cried out; Cavalry, charge" and

Reports from Washington are to
the effect that the Secretary of War
has resolved to ignore the provision
of the conscript law providing for a
sum of money to be paid in lieu of
personal service by persons who
may be drafted and not be able or
willing to respond personally
There is nothing certainly known in
reference to the matter, and as the
provision seems to be mandatory, it
is not likely it will be disregarded,
unless an authorized decision war
rants such course. Should it be.
determined to require every person
drawn to respond in person or by
substitute, the price of substitutes
would no doubt rule at a high figure,
and as the author Of she bill claim
ed would be the result had the-pro-
vision referred to been omitted, the
effect would be to favor the rich at
the expense of the poor. Should
the $500 exemption clause be ignor-
ed, we shall speedily hear a most
terrific howl of disapprobation from
those who SO bitterly denounced it
as unfair and discriminating against
the poor at the time of its adoption.

number of the most able and elo-
quent speakers of the day will be
in attendance and address the peo-
pie, and every arrangement has
been made to render it one of the
most interesting and imposing dem

ly go and return the same day, to
manifest their patriotism by a gen
eral turnout.

to escape the fire. Captain Boswell was kill

field. Chief of Staff was wounded by his side.
Two couriers were killed. Major Pendleten
and Lieutenents Morrison and Smith escaped
uniniured. General jackson was Immediately
placed on litter and started for the rear
The firing attracted the attention of the en-
emy, and was resumed by both lines. One
litter-bearer was shot down, and the General
fell from the shoulders of the men, receiving a
severe confusion adding to the injury of the
arm, and iDjuring his side severely.
The finding of the military court
that tried G. L. Vallandigham has
been officially announced in an or
der issued by Gen. Burnside. He
was convicted of most of the
charges preferred and sentenced to
confinement In some government
fort during the continuance of the
war. Gen. Burnside has approved
the sentence, and designated Fort
Warren, in Boston harbor, as the
place of confinement. The prison
er was on Wednesday taken by boat
from Cincinnati to Pittsburg, from
which place to Boston he was con-
veyed by railway.
The length of time Mr.. V. was
permitted to continue his disloyal
harrangues affords abundant evi-
dence that the Government was re-
luctant to resort to an arrest; but
the leinency thus shown only tend
ed to embolden him and others pur-
suing the same course, and forci-
bic stoppage of such proceedings,
which were producing an incalcula-
bic amount of mischief, and bid fair
to result in the most serious conse-
quences to the country, became a
manifest necessity. If, in times
like the present, when the nation is
struggling for existence, and fail
ure of success involves all alike in
ruin, there are those among us who
are not restrained by patriotic i'm
pulses from sympathising with trai-
tors in arms, no loyal citizen will dis
pute the right and duty of those
possessing the power to exercise it
to compel at least a cessation of ac-
tive efforts against the cause of the
country. The proceedings in this
case show that such practices can no
longer be indulged in with impuni-
ty; and that there is an infexible
determination ON the part of Gen.
Burnside to act vigorously and de-
cisively within his Department,
admits of no doubt.
