On Friday last the enemy with

On Friday last the enemy with o
considerable force Of picked troops,
assaulted our left wing near spottsyl-
saria G. II. The attack was quite
feeble, the fight lasting only one and
half hours. They were repnlsed
with but little loss ca ouq ride but
with considerable slaughter Of the en-
envy. They left over 200 dead on the
field. We captured sixty prisoners.
After the fight on orr left the enemy
opened a heavy artillery fire on our
right which was responded to for sey-
several hours by our artillery, loss
on our side slight. At night the
enemy withdrew from cur left leaving
their dead unburied, and massed their
troops on our right. We have col
lected many arms on the field abal-
doncd by the enemy, a number OF
which had been buried BY them. Gen.
Lees army is in the neighborhood OF
Hanover junction, having no doubt
moved to that point to counterfeit the
movements Of Grant. A portion Of
Grants army are reported as occupy
inc the Central Rail Road this side OF
Hanover junction.

What They Think.

In proof that the action of certain
papers in the North gives "aid and
comfort" to the rebellion, read the
following extract from the Mississippi.
an:
Have our neighbors read the Chica.
go Times, New York Express, Netropo.
Titan Record, Cincinnati Enquirer and
various other papers of the North
which are the opponents of the opposi,
ton of Lincoln ? Have they read the
speeches of Bright. Voorhees,, Merrick
and various others Have they ever
found in any of these papers or speech
es a syllable that did not breathe the
most orthodox States rights doctrine,
and uncompromising opposition to CO.
ercion? These are the men We wish
to encourage, and these are the men
whose success will bring peace.

About 10000 effective troops have

The Copperhead Riot in Illinois.

The recent outbreak in the central
portion Of Illinois, an account of which
we give in our paper today, is nat
ural result of the teachings of a GER
tain class of politicians and newspa-
pers who are continually seeking to
infame the public mind against the
Government, by wholesale denuncia-
tons of the Administration and all Of
it's efforts to crush the rebellion 10y
force of arms. Instead Of standing
up manfully in support OF that Gov
eminent which has ever protected
them, aud of those free institutions
under which they have been fostcred,
these human ficnds are using the
liberty of the Press and the freedom
of speech to assail the very institu-
tons which have cherished them, and
are urging their deluded followers to
deeds of bloodshed in order to throw
off thess" tyranny" which Expresses
them. The same element which has
thus manifested its opposition to Fed.
eral authority by taking up arms and
shooting down Union men and United
States soldiers in the streets Of
Charleston Ill. exists to greater or
less degree throughout the North and
is ready wherever and whenever ia
vorable opportunity occurs to re-enact
the same scenes of riot and carnage.
1t is source of pleasure to know
that wherever these violent demon.
STATIONS have been made they have
been promptly suppressed this was
the case at New York, at South Eng
lish in Keokuk county, Iowa, at
Charleston, ILL.,, and in other places
where they have transpired. The
Government will protect itself when
assailed, whether it be from rebels in
the South, or their allies, the rebels in
the North. We hope that in the pres
ent instance justice to the full will be
meted ont to the offenders, and that
they will be taught that they who
take the sword shall perish by the
sword"

The War in Texas.

A writer in the Philadelphia Hquir-
er has the following summary Of news
from Texas
Since the taking Of Pass Arkansas by
a part of the 18th army corps, large
force under Major Gen. Dana, have
been cncamped upon Matagorda Pc
ninsuar and Indianola, a village fif-
teen miles distant. For short time
this division was commanded by the
gallant Major General Ord, but as
his valuable services were required
Ivy the country elsewhere, he was re-
leved by Gen. McClernand, the latter
making his headquarters on this Is.
land. One division was lately order
ed from here to go TO New Orleans, I'M
der the popular Gen. Ransom. while
another division is at Brownsville, I'M
der Gen. Heron.
1t was currently reported some days
ago that Indianola would soon be
evacuated by order of Gen. Banks,
and at IL NJ on the 18th the United
States gunboat Estrclla, with General
Dana on board, accompanied hy his
able staff, steamed up the bay and
came TO anchor off the town. Prepa-
ratons were made to evacuate the
next day, and on the morning of the
18th, at five o'clock, the head Of the
column began to move; at IL N. all
had left, and the village which but a
| few hours before presented such q
lively appearance now seemed desert
ed. Those persons who remained were
| indoors, and the streets were as qulet
as graveyard.
Although there was sufficient force
to hold the position, it was given up
for strategic reasons. 1t is TO be
extremely regretted that we left Sc
many citizens who had taken the oath
of allegiance to the United States
Government and who will now be un'
protected and at the mercy of the reb
els. BY order Of General Dana all the
men who were liable to military duty
i'm the rebel service were required to
go and remain within our lines. A
great many families accepted the kind
offer of Gen. Dana to be conducted
safely to New Orleans, where they
will receive proper attention.
! am sorry to say that an accident
occurred in carrying the troops across
a small river on pontoon bridges. III
the haste 10 cross, the bridges were
unnecessarily crowded, and number
of soldiers were unfortunately thrown
overheard, and as they had their KNAPP.
sacks on could not swim. and were
drowned. Fresh water and fuel are
scarce, but there is plenty Of fresh
beef. The men generally enjoy good
health. and are nicely encamped.
Deserters are continually coming
into our lines, aud all tell the same
story ofmisery and restitution through
out the State. Those with whom
have conversed assure me that THEN
forces are greatly over-estimated, and
not able to make much resistance.
A late mail from Brownsville says
that sixty rebel cavalry lately enter
ed our lines from Mexico (having
crossed the river above), aud gave
themselves mp. They say that many
more will do the same thing if they
get an opportunity.

The Indian War.

Adviccs from the Sioux country are
important. The Yauktons have sepa-
rated from the Sissi:ons and have
crossed the Missouri. Standing Buf-
falo and Sweet Corn have made ar
rangemcnts to rendezvous with their
bands at DEVILS Lake for the purpose
of making peace. They desire to hold
a council with Major Hatch and sur
render themselves.
The remnant of Little SKIS and
Little Crows bands are at Long Lake,
$50 miles from Major Hatch's camp,
at Pembina, but, being over the line,
he cannot take them.

Yours truly,
NORTH WESTERN
SHIP CANAL CONVENTION.

DI1ll SANAL WAN IoN.
Shippers, Forwarding and Commits
sion Merchants, Business men and
citizens generally of the Upper Missis-
sippi Valley, residing in the States of
Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, friendly to the enter
prise of connecting the waters of the
Mississippi River and Lake Michigan
by means of Ship Canal, are request
ed to take immediate measures for the
appointment of Delegates to attend the
Ship Canal Convention, to be held at
| Dubuque, Iowa, on the first Wedncs
day of May next. Each county will
be entitled to four Delegates, with ono
additional Delegate for every five
thousand inhabitants. Incorporated
Towns and Cities will be entitled to
the same ratio Of Delegates. Provis-
ions should be made for casting the
full vote of the County, Town or City.
State officers and members of Con-
gross and Of the Legislature of the
above named States will be eX-officio
members of said convention. Editors
of newspapers in said States, and such
other persons rs shall receive this
Circular, are also invited to seats III
said Convention.
1t is unnecessary for the Committee
to enlarge upon the vast Importance
Of this great National enterprise
With its completion, the entire pro-
duct of the Mississippi Valley will be
enhanced in value at least twenty per
cent. Their transportation to Buffalo
will be as expeditions and quite as
cheap as from Chicago, thereby saving
to the farmer aud producer the ex-
pense of Railroad transportation to
that or other Lake Ports.
The question of such Ship Canal is
now being discussed both before the
country and in Congress, and the
probability is that some course of poll
cy in relation thereto will be adopted
at the present session. Let us there,
fore be awake to this great National
measure. Let every County, Town
and City throughout the entire North
west he represented in the proposed
Convention. We have already slept
too long over our most material and
vital interests. Let us do so no long
err; now is the time to move. Next
year, or even after the adjournment of
the present session of Congress, may
be too late. In such an event, others
may reap harvest that legitimately
belongs to us. and which may now be
gathered. Efforts will be made by
the Committee to secure from Steam
boats and Railroads, tickets to and
from the Convention at half-fare rates
If successful, timely notice will be
given through the Dubuque papers.

not arisen to prices very exorbitan
considering circumstances. And th'
prospect is that, when the war comes
to a close these articles will not fal
very much below par, so that the tran
sition will not he abrupt, and shocl
the nation to damaging effect, but that
it will pass off easily, so that by exer,
csing some precaution the progress
of thrift and improvement will hardly
be interrupted.
But the story that the French and
English are negotiating to interpose
in our affairs, and recognize the Rebel
Government-do you believe that? /
don't believe a word of it. If they
are so disposed why have they not
done it before We know the British
Aristocracy hate Our free institutions,
and would he glad, could they do it to
crush them into the earth. But they
dare not. The great English heart,
1.-THE masses) throbs in unison with
our own, for universal freedom and
sclfgovcrnment, and they can't be
crushed. Besides, there is the Rus
sian-he shakes his spear at any one
who darcs to NEEDLE ofliciously, and
wantonly with Brother Jonathan.
Both Napoleon and John Bull are as
fearful of him as death. Let them de-
clare war with the Yankee Nation"
which a recognition of the rebels would
amount to, and see. Europe herself
would at once be all abazc with war,
and John Bull and Napoleon would
take the best drubbing that they ever
received. No, no, sir there is not the
least danger that they will intervene
in our affairs.
But, sir, the mail has just arrived
and the Chicago Daily Tribune brings
the news that there are very strong eff
forts now being made to put Secretary
Chase in nomination against Mr.. Lin
coin for the Presidency. How do you
relish that? 1t don't 60 down with
me at all. Although Chase was my
choice before the last Presidential cleo.
ton, yet, am decidedly opposed to
his election for the next term instead
of Lincoln. The latter has managed
this diaboical rebellion so far more
dextrously and, knows every crool
and turn, shade or phaze in it, and i
far better prepared to finish it up right
Iy than any other man on earth.
AS ever, yours,
