THE TRANs-MIssIssI CAM
PAUGNS,

The effects Of Gen. Banks's defeat appear in
the retreat of Gen. Steele TO Little Rock. and in
the difficulties which Admiral Porter has to sur
mount in cndeavoring to get his feet out OF
Red River. Gen. Steele is said 10 have been
followed and continually harassed by Sterling
Price, and the pursuit finally became so urgent
that Steele was compelled TO fight OF Sabine
lFork-whether with his whole army or the rear
guard only, there is nothing to show. The result
of the engagement seems TO have been 30 far a
success as " allow him 10 continue his retreat.
Ii is further reported that the combined forces
Of Marmaduke and Price are advancing to attack
Little Rock.
There's still another statement that the battle
which Gen. Banks, in his retreat to Alexandria,
fought with the pursuing Rebel force, resulted
in defeat and heavy losses of men and guns.
1t is at any rate plain, not merely that the Red
River Expedition is compulsorily abandoned,
but that tho Rebels both in Arkansas and Lou
isiana have assumed the offensive and are press
ing hard on our retiring forces. Admiral Porter
has gunboat, the Eastport, on q sand-bar,
which he is trying to get of, and Of which the
guns and plating have been removed in order to
| tighten her. In this work he finds himself har-
assed by the Rebels on shore, against whom
there is no infantry force on our side to operate,
the Eastport lying sixty miles above Alexandria.
The Red River, meanwhile, is falling and there
is apprehension lest Banks may be left without
supplies, and without the means of carrying of
such Of his military stores as were not destroyed
when Grand Ecore was abandoned
Altogether, the trsns-Mississippi news is not
encouraging, but we may be thankful that, in
view of the tremendous contest elsewhere pend
ing, temporary reverses in tho far West are of
little moment. There are no means Of knowing
how far the Rebels will be able or likely to
! follow Gen. Banks, but they probably regain
the whole Of Western Louisiana. SO of South.

Of the Union, which he remains willing that
even negroes shall fight for; but, having fought
and conquered the traitors. he wants those
traitors pardOned and enfranchised, while the
patriot Blacks who helped put down their rebel
lion are to sink back into condition of vsssal-
age and dumb endurance, 80 as to be once more
the interiors and subjects of the obstinate trait
ors whom they will have helped US TO subdue.
An outright Secessionist is wickeder and more
dangerous than Frank Blair; but his position
seems to us meaner and moro glarngly incon-
sistent than that Of JEFF. Davis. He would first
use the Blacks to Subjugate the traitors, and
then combine with the traitors to trample on
and deny all political rights to the Blacks.

ment that Gen. Buffers movement Is not by WeSt
Point, but that the main body Of the troops I'M
der his command has landed on tho south side
of the James River. There is no other trust
worthy intelligence whatever, unless a dispatch
that the Government has information of tho
presence of Beauregard at Petersburg with
! 80, coo men be so considered.
From the Shenandoah comes tho rumor-it is
nothing more-that Gen. Couch, whose head
quarters have hitherto been at Reading. Pa,
and Gen. Sigcl, whose forces were mainly in
Western Virgins, have united, and arc march
ing up the Shenandoah, with the purpose OF
striking, probably, the Virginia Central Rail-
road, at Stanton, and perhaps eventually OF
reaching Lynchburg, and cutting at that point
tho virginia and Tennessee Railroad. 1t is
added that Butler is to complete the isolation
of Richmond by taking Petersburg, and it
seems to be suppoSablc-wore these two state
ments true-that Gen. Grant has in view nothing
less than the bodily capture Of the whole OF
Lees army, as well as tho Rebel capital. For
if these railroads be cffcctualy severed. Lee
has. in the event of serious disaster, no possible
line of retreat.

dated the day after the reported disaster which
contain evidence that there had been no engage

Finally, we have only to say that no con-

THE ALDERMEN ANGRY.

The Board Of Aldermen worked itself into q
towering passion tho other evening over the
Tax Levy. special report was made by the
Finance Committee, full Of hard language and
reckless charges, the burden Of it being that
the Legislature had upset the wise economy OF
the Aldermen, and added million and a
quarter to the Tax Levy for this year. Now.
we take the trouble to place the figures here in
juxtaposition, to show how mnch mistaken
these worthy Aldermen are. Taking the City
Budget, which is all the Common Council have
control over, we set down all the items that
were altered, added, or stricken out by the
