Esg-Tho n. Y. Herald says: We
find the Tribune dcnounoing Mcclellan
as peace candidate in onc columns
and as war candidate in another col
umn. We fird it asserting that Me-
Clellan is coward, and that he sl-
WAYS ran away from the battle field,
when tho 7r,jmass own reporters die
provo these statements. We find 1t
quoting from McClellan's West Point
Grafton, and deliberately attributinG
that quotation to Senator Douglass
We find it denying that Daniel Web
ster made certain. speech, whom that
speech was commented uron, in its
own columns. We End il speaking
of "the Lincoln flag" instead of tho
American flag. We find it stating ON
the Same pago that Mcclellan stands
upon the Chicago platform and that
be docs not stand upon tho Chicago
platform; that his letter Of acceptance
ha, improved his prospects and has
ruined him; that Lincoln is ON honest
man and that no purchases support
with Offices We find it reviving the
worn out slander abont McClollan's
spades, when tho history of the war
has proven that earthworks are indis-
pensable. We find it declaring that
Mcclellan offered his sword 30 the
rebels, hid guns and ambrlances and
sent tho rebels word where to find
them, and lost battles because he had
agreed with Jef Davis 70 lose them.
What language can sufficiently rcbuks

lignancy as this? What honest man

PROBABLE MOVEMENT ON MoBrLB-The
Chicago Journal says; 1--WE have con.
frmation of the report that Gen. Canby's
forces in Louisiana have embarked on
an important expedition--probably for
a movement against Mobile. Most Of
the rebel troops collected for the defense
of that city have been sent to Johnston
and Lee, and the presence of Gen. Candy
on board the United States blockading
squadron off Mobile is portent Of a con-
templated land and naval attack on that
city. Admiral Farragut, the hero OF
New Orleans, commands the feet at Mo
bile and we have iron clads enough in
the Mississippi to organize formida-
BILE naval expedition in aid of Farragut,
should an attack be meditated. Gen.
Candy was recently in New Orleans, and
issued peremptory orders to mount
heavy guns on the works at Chalmette
and his visit to Farragut, we trust, has
mischief to the rebels in it,"

THE FOURTH OF July was compar-
atively a quiet one in Rutland. No
formal celebration took place, and moth
ing occurred to distinguish the day
from others, except more or less of the
usual small fire works from before the
rising of the sun, throughout the day
and evening. A few flags were also dis
played, among them a handsome new one,
with new flag staff, on the U. S. Court
aud Post Office building. Notwihstand-
ing no formal celebration was adver-
tised, the people came into the village
from other parts Of the town and from
surrounding towns in considerable num-
bers and enjoyed themselves as best they
could. The entertainment given in the
evening at the Town Hall is noticed else
where.

Particulars of the engagement have
been published by us. Major Fleming
was with his battalion In support OF a

sitiou, and the enemy broke through the
line both on his lett and right, coming
quite into the rear, rendering successful
defence or escape impossible. There Is
good reason to suppose he was moi
wounded.

EXCITEMENT ON MERCHANTS ROw.-A
reliable gentleman" furnishes US with
the following report Of an occurrence on
the Fourth" which is not noted in our
mention of that day. We give it in our
reporters words, without vouching for
it's accuracy. He says
'The most exciting occurrence of the
day was running engagement on Mer
chants Row between the Town Grand
Juror and several unruly fire crackers.
The starting point was in the middle of
the street where an audacious young
ster was bent upon lighting cracker,
reckless of consequences. The I. G.
Juror fashion, massed his forces in
the outset for sudden swoop upon the
cracker, intending to utterly eXtinguish
it at once but only succeeded in burn
ming his fingers the cracker went
off, and so did the 7. G. J. after it.
Several other crackers, with small boys
appended, joined in the melee which
took a Zig-Zag course across and up and
down the street. Several non combat
ants (who had had notice to quit, but
didn't We're drawn into the fire, chiefly
at Kingsley's and Mussey's stores.
When | left the scene of action, the
crackers were not silenced, the forces of
theT. G. J. were seriously embarrassed
by concealed torpedoes, but desultory
fight was going on without any decisive
result either way. The following casu-
alties are all that are gathered as yet ;
killed, three crackers; wounded, the T.
G. j., cracker shot in several places !;
taken prisoners, Chester Kingsley and
W. B. Mussey, civilians.
LATER.-Quiet was restored Tuesday
morning, and the prisoners above men
toned can be found in their usual places

From sherman,s Department..

A Herald correspondent with Gen.
Sherman, dated the 22d inst. says of the
battle at Kenesaw Mountain: On the
18th heavy skirmishing opened, and tow
ards night the rebels commenced firing
fercely. Bradleys and Bridges bate
ries were brought to bear on them
with considerable effect, and Logans
and Blairs division also shelled their
works. Hooker having repulsed them
was pushing forward, while Schotield
was swinging round their left
many prisoners. Soon heavy musketry
firing was heard The rebels made re-
peated onslaughts on the position our
troops had taken from them, but were
repulsed each time.
Early in the morning General How
ard ordered forward his line, in coming
upon the enemy, and drove them pell-
nell out of their new position into one
which was of great strength; but by
posting our troops in many positions,
and bringing to bear concentrated hre,
they were forced to fall back again, leaV-
ing large number of prisoners in our
hands. Their loss must have been heavy
On the 10Th the enemy were again
found in works on a prominent rldSc y,
Kenesaw. Four batteries were opeheu
on them at short range, and the troops
were pushed up so close that the repeis
made an effort to pierce our centrs.~ ,,
The conflict was bloody until nightiali.
No material advantage was gained W
either side.
Early the next morning the fight was
renewed with increased ferceness, ana
was going on at the close of the cores sT
pondent's letter; but later advices ~
telegraph advise US that the rebels Weio
forced to fall back again.

TRINITY PARISH FRsrIvAL.-The festi-
val given by the ladies of Trinity Pa
IRISH on Monday evening, at Town Hall,
was a success in every respect,-an un-
usually fine entertainment with an un-
usually fine assemblage Of our citizens
to enjoy it. Rare skill and good taste
were displayed in the arrangement Of
the tableaux their exhibition was every
way highly creditable to the ladies con
cerned, and together formed series
which it would be difficult to surpass
in this section at least. A patriotic
song by Capt, Harry Brownson, who is a
home for few days, formed a welcome
addition to the programme. The straw
berries and ice cream of course wer
good.
The receipts amounted to Sl92lS.
