FROM ST. LOUIS.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunal
ST. Louis, April 10, 1865.
An imposing military display took place to.
day on the occasion Of the funeral of Lieut..
Commander Wilson McGunneglc, late of the
gunboat DeKalb.
Minute guns were fired from the forts
around the city in memory of Gen. Sumner,
in accordance with Gen. Hal1eck's orders.
4 guerilla camp was surprised on the Mis-
souri, River, above Brunswick, on Tuesday,
and fifteen rebels captured. Some interest
ing papers we're obtained.
The doings Of the Kansas boys in Western
Missouri are naturally condemned BY the pro-
slavery Journals. It is said they have killed
fifty men and burned thirty dwellings in La
faye county alone. On the other hand, the
Kansas boys contend that the houses burned
were used to conceal gucrillas.
There is . great excitement among the rebel
symrathizers, and they are removing east ward.
An orderallowing exemptions from military

SATURDAY. APRIL II, 1863.


The news from Vicksburg is to the Sth
inst, and the dispatch reads much like
those we have been printing for some time
past. The army is in good health; the
dlggcrs are still ut work; something is
soon to he done The release Of n large
number of impressed steamers indicates i
change III plan, and the cxpeditionary
movements are about given up.
The Polish revolution is ended, after q
struggle marked By determined valor on
the part Of the Poles. Their leader, now
! prisoner, has formally resigned his dicta-
torship, and Poland;s still under the yoke
Cincinnati follows up her good deed Of
elccting loyal Mayor, by loaning to the
Government nearly half million dollars
lying idle in her city treasury. This latter
act is handsome proof that she deems
the secsrity Of Uncle Sam the best that
canbc asked. The defeat Of her municipal
Ccpperllcads is an earnest that she means
10 help keep the security good. Gallant,
noble Cincinnati.
The rebels attacked yesterday at Anti
cch, nine miles below Nashville, 2 heavy
passenger train, the cars Of which they de-
st1oycd, after killing 4 number of persons
and taking numerous prisoners. From
Nashville also we have the news OF an at
lack by Van Dorm upon Gen. Granger at
Franklin, the latter being repulsed with
loss.
The Joliet inquisi,ion has adjourned to
Monday. Our dispatch elsewhere gives
The current Iumor in Joliet yesterday.
More than this the public know little,
Bishop Whitchouse's cagerncss for print
resting suddenly, after lie had seen the
slnutty charges against Nj uager safely
in type.
The reticence Of the speakers at the In
vincible Drunk, at the Briggs House, call
cd Democratic Festival, in withholding
their speeches from the public, cannot be
highly commended. We should be glad
to know what the men who figured in that
saturnalia, said when wine was in and wit
was out. We dare assert that more than
ono Of The secrets Of the prison house III
which sympathy with man selling dwells,
were exposed. The reporters Of the
TRIBUNE were not inyited-a circum.
stance that VIC regret, as the rehash of the
haraugucs, in the organ Of JEFF. Davis, will
probably give but d faint idea Of what was
really uttered.
, 1863-04-11

The news from Charleston is simply ex-
citing, without being satisfactory in point
ofc'carncss. Something is evidently trans
ririag, and disaster to the attacking fleet
is rrniored. We devote much space this
morning to IN array Of interesting details
which, studied from the accompanying
map, will indicate the nature of the work
Admiral Dupont has undertaken, than
which more difficult one was never laid
before naval commander. If he succeeds.
he will write his name high above the
naval heroes Of the past, for in oil the
former engagements the conflict between
the Irresistible and the im1cnetrable, will
never. have been 20 strongly waged,
iron missiles against iron clads. The
Monitors engaged in this attack are as fol-
lows: The Passaic, Capt Drayton; the
Patapsco, Capt. Ammono; the Weehawken,
Capt. Deans; the Nahant, Capt, John
Rodgers; the Kattski1l, Capt. Fair1ax, OF
Trent memory; the Nautaskct, Capt Geo.
Rodgers, and the Montauk, Capt. Wordcn,
The hero Of iron-cla warfare. The Eeokuk
is also booked for the affair. In addition
to these is the iron frigate New Iron
Eidce,'' Commodore Turner, which has
been flagship Of the Charleston blockading
feet for month past, Her armament
consists Of fourteen 11-incl guns, and two
200-pound rifles.
Our meagre news is purely from rebel
sources, and must be taken with due eau
1ion considering its source, not to say its
very nature. The absurdity Of the story
isseen in the fact that this sinking Of the
-heokuk and the danger to the other vessels
were effected by fire at 5000 yards
nearly two miles. We need not say tha,
the iron-clads MI gilt without sending sho,
in return, be LEFT a month exposed to such
q fire, and at the end Of that time have moi
q riyet started, or seam made in theil
almor.

HOW THE SOLDIERS VOTE.

Who 60 TO the wars? Let the votes of
the soldiers tell. Wisconsin, for local
reasons, has givcn her home majority to
the Supreme Judge least Objectionable to
The Farm Mortgage sufferers, whose influ-
ence and presence broadly belts the State
In the field, the soldiers only asked:
Which is the Coppcrhead? ?" and dropped
a heavy stone upon Cothren, which will
doubtless reverse the home vote. Here is
the way they voted in the camps, where
they construe loyalty to mean bayonetting
and shooting down the enemies Of the
country-rough remedy for q deadly dis
ease. Eighteen companies cast total OF
1o9 votes. out Of which Judge Dixon re-
reives $40. They voted as follows:
!Nssiments- Dixon. Cothrcn.
13th-Four companies. IS
25ih-seveu companies. 81
;aft-sir companies idiaitedj. :.::.1o3 es
Is there anything significant in this :?
Don't you think the Copperhcads begin to
understand the boys in the field? Yea
Tcr1ly, for when Connecticut rebukes their
scheming, mark how the secesh organs
howl about "the soldiers vote" And
when Cincinnati, and other Democratic
strongholds deal stunning quictus to
rebel hopes, then it is military interfer-
cuce,' the "army yoting,n that is bitterly
complained Of The army is right. The

CONSIDERATION OF THE GETTYSBURG battlefield
AND CEMErERY.-The Harrisburg Pa.) CORES
pondent of Forney's Press thus speaks of the
dedication of the new cemetery at Gettysburg =
"Some correspondence has been received by
the authorities with reference to the conservation
of the Gettysburg battlefield and cemetery, which
has been postponed from the 22d, to Thursday
the 18th of November, by WHICH time all the dead
braves will be, probably, reinterred. EDWARD
EVERETT will deliver, probably, his finest oration,
and an elegiac hymn, by LoNGFELLow, will be
sung by combined force of the Musical societies,
with accompaniment of brass bands, from several
States All the Governors of the loyal Union will
be present, with large representations of the
Union Leagues, Masonic, mechanic, mercantile,
municipal, Legislative, and other bodies, and
gatherings of distinguished men from every part
of the land. The Marshal Of the District of Co
lumbia will have charge of the civic procession,
and the military and naval parade, composed of
all arms of the service will be under command of
Major-General GEORGE CADwAIADER. The Bish-
ops POTTER of New York and Pennsylvania, and
I hope the patriotic Roman Catholic Bishops,
WooD of Philadelphia, and PURCELL and RosE-
GRAMS of Ohio, will be present. The cemetery
contains seven acres, instead Of nine, rs has been
reported, and includes the most remarkable part
of the battle ground south of Gettysburg.
sHow sleep the brave who sink to rest,
BY all their country's wishes blcst!
When spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than fancy's feet have trod.
BY forms unseen their dirge is sung;
BY fairy hands their kne is rung;
There Honor comes pilgrim gray,
To deck the shrine that wraps their clay
And Freedom shall a while repair
To dwell weeping hermit there.

The Washington correspondent Of the Herald
thus speaks of the grounds taken by the President
on the Franco Mexican Question:
1t has been determined by President Lincoln
not to take any official notice of the French inva
sion of Mexico until our own domestic difficulties
shall have been adjusted The representative of
one Of the most prosperous and progressive of
the Spanish-American republics, who had been
instructed by his government to protest IN the
most strenuous manner against the schemes OF
Louis Napoleon on this continent, has very lately
had an interview with President Lincoln on the
subject, but utterly failed in convincing that func-
tionary of the expedielcy of immediate action IN
the premises. In vain did the Minister point out
the danger of possible complications which might
be engendered by delay;n vain didhe represent the
cause of human liberty as likely to be jeopardized
by even temporary substitution OF new system
of policy in Mexico for that which is most accept
able and congenial to this people. The President
maintained throughout that the United States
government had o duty to perform in putting
down this rebellion which was paramount to all
other issues until the integrity of the Union shall
have been firmly.and permanently re-established.
It was in view of this settled policy that Senor
Romero, the new Mexican Minister, was prevailed
upon to strike out everything having reference to
the French occupancy of portion OF Mexico IN
his address to the President on the occasion of
his presentation. It was intimated to him that
any alluson to the present condition OF things In
Mexico would necessitate reply which might be
subject to misconstruction, and prove greatly en-
barrassing to the government of the United States
Hence the unwilling reticence of Senior Romero
in regard to the problem he is most anxious to
have solved

The SOUTHERN PRESS ON THE RAMPAGE
Though the Richmond papers assume a very lofty
tone, and pretend that they are not at all dissa-
pointed at the seisure of the rams by the British
government, they cannot conceal their chagrin
The Dispatch has the bad temper to say that Mr..
Adams "has dictated the policy Of the British
government, and that the seizure is the result of
Yankee threats. Hard on the British lion, that
The Examiner soothes its readers, and lets them
down easily; tells them that they had overrated
the value of the rams; that, if they could cross
the sea, they could not cope with the Monitors,
and comes to the excellent conclusion that the
confederacy does not want them anyhow. Yet
that journal also shows its temper. and says that
the rams were seized because RUSSELL is an abo-
itionist. From PALMERsToN, however, they have
expected better treatment. He cannot possibly
be an abolitionist, because he is SO old. If any
one wants to know when man ceases to be an
aboltionist by the necessary limitation of age we
will tell them, in the words of the Examiner, that
it is when he is no longer ''swayed by any wishy-
washy humanitarian notions.-Heuld, 31st.

IMPORTANT INVENTION. Henry S. Bar
nard and Saml G. Beachman citizens of Water
bury Ct, have devised a mode ofcopper-sheathing
for iron vessels, which, it is thought by naval
perts, will effect an entiye revolution in the
rrine construction of the civilized world. The
great superiority of iron over wood for ships has
been fully appreciated by all maritime nations.
But, thus far, no perfect mode had been discov-
cred by which the fouling Of iron bottoms, and
their rapid corrosion and consequent destruction,
could be obviated, although the inventive genius
of both Europe and America had seemingly ex-
hausted itself upon the subject. By the simple
yet very ingenious device of these inventors the
copper is attached to the iron surface in sheets,
as upon wooden vessels, and with almost the same
mechanical rapidity, while a perfect insulation
from contact is secured, and thus oil galvanin ac-
ton arrested. The discovery has elected the
gravest interest among all our scientific savans,
and at the Navy Department The Naval Scien-
tifc Board have had it under careful examination,
and express themselves highly gratifed with its
feasibility and perfection, and recommends its
adaptation by the Government Thus has Amer
ican genius again triumphed in the realm of
invention.
