The Spring is coming on finely. Ev-

Fruit orchards, except the peach trees,
are in full bloom. New wheat Is foot
high and bids fair for good crop; but
in regard to securing the harvest some
fears are expressed, owing to the search

This is a most delightful climate. /
wish some of the readers of the HERALD,
who have spent their whole lives thus far
among the bleak mountains of Vermont,
could enjoy one year here. The change
would be fully appreciated.

Antecedents Of the Bogus PrOcla.
@ nation F0r-er. asI4

An occasional rascal is to be found
among protested church members
good many we know are to be found
out of the church. There are without
doubt some rascals In the Republican
party we know there are any quantity
of them in the mis-called democratic"
party. 1t makes no difference with the
full punishment which ought to be melted
out to those guilty Of concocting the re-
cent bogus proclamation, what they pro-
fesssd to be in religion or politics But
inasmuch as some insane sheets are try
ing TO make capital out of the state
ments that the forger Howard is both
a member of Mr.. Beecher's church, and
a Republican, we give the following
from New York paper in relation to
his antecedents 6.A-8H
The New York and Brooklyn papers
are ventilating the antecedents of Bogus
Proclamation Howard By the World
and other Copperhead sheets he is made
to appear in the light of "Republi-f
"can' protege of Mr. Beecher, an init
mate friend of the President, and bo-
som companion of Henry J. Raymond.
But papers with better reputation for
truth and less interested in giving this
color to his political character, do not
make his associations with the gentle
men named quite so intimate. 1t APP
| pears that he first became known in con
nection with the press during the Prince
of Wales visit to this country, having
reported the incidents of that royal per-
sonages trip for the Times in the high
est " sensation" style. He has since
been ostentatiously known as Howard
of the Times but about year ago
that paper found its interests and those
| OF Mr.. Howard were somewhat in con-
fict. He was too smart" Since that
time, (as he had pretty regularly before,
he has contributed to weekly papers of
various kinds but his main employment
has been upon the Brooklyn Eagle,
paper which was, early in the war, de-
MED the use of the mails in consequence
OF its reasonable tone. Just before the
riots last summer he wrote series of
articles for the Daily News, the object
Of which was to stir up the laboring
classes to revolt against the draft.
From these facts it will be seen thst
his Republicanism" is not very well
established, and that when an exposure
of his worthless character had caused
his election from Union newspaper, he
was picked up by the Copperheads.
His associate in the work Mr.. Madison,
who did the copying, was also an Eagle
reporter, and is also every smart
young man." a. ans -

STUARTs ATTEMPT TO SNUB HANCOCK.
Gen. johnson, when captured, exhib-
tied great emotion, shedding tears free
ly, and asserting that he preferred death
to capture. When received into our
lines, Maj. Gen. Hancock, with his char
acteristic urbanity and consideration,
advanced to his prisoners at the same
time extending his hand, which was ac-
Copied by the rebel general. On pleas,
antly accosting Stuart, whom he had
formerly known, with 'How are you,
Stuart 2'' the latter replied, arrogantly,
'Sir, / am General Stuart, and under the
circumstances refuse to take your hand. u
"Sir, replied Hancock, 'under any 9TH
er circumstances L should not have Of
fered you my hand" Gen. Hancock i'm
mediately sent Johnson to Gen. Meade's
headquarters in his private carriage,
properly permitting his highness, Brig.
Gen. Stuart, US. A., to exercise his pc
dial extremities in walking through the
mud and rain to headquarters.-N Y

CHURCH DrFFIcuLTY.-The copperhead
wing of the Universalist society at
Stowe, have attempted to GUST the pas
tor, Rev. H. P. Cutting, who is strong
anti-slavery man. When the choir went
to the church, to rchearse as usual, on
Saturday night, they found the building
in the possession OF copperheads armed
with bludgeons. One of the choir who
attempted to enter through a window
was felled to the ground by a blow from
the inside. As soon as the news spread a
large number of the parishioners pro-
ceeded to the church and cleared it OF
the copperheads, and the next morning
Mr.. Cutting was escorted to the church
by two hundred of his people. ESQ

capturing the fort; the. prisoners we're
brought up, the, ends dug out of the
works, and the guns were hauled out by
means of ropes, under destructive fire
from the rebels, who endeavored to pre-
vent the larceny of the pieces before
their eyes, AS soon as a breach was
made, our forces rushed in and captured
the lunette after desperate engagement.
The guns seized were four twelve-poun-
ders, The flags of the 35th and 3Sth Al
ALBANIA regiments were captured with
over two hundred prisoners. The losses
in Hookers corps were very heavy in
the repeated charges upon the enemy's
works.
About o'clock in the afternoon the
enemy, learning that Gen. Hovey had a
division of raw recruits in the line, hurl-
ed a heavy column against them, in an
ticipation that they would run; but the
rebels were repulsed from their attack
after a short but brilliant engagement.
The assault was subsequently renewed,
when the raw recruits charged upon the
rebels, under heavy fire OF grape, and
literally moved them down. The as
sault by the enemy was not renewed az
ter this.
About 10 o'clock in the evening Hook
er advanced his skirmish line to cover
the erection of earthworks, and in doing
so ran against the rebel line, whereupon
heavy fire of musketry and artillery
was opened, which lasted until 2 O'Clock
the next morning. At that time the
rebels were repulsed along the whole
line, and after a deafening cheer over
their victory our forces rested in pos
session of the advantages they had
gained. .,...,,.T -......fL
On the morning of the 10th Gen. New
ton advanced to feel the enemy and dis
covered that he had disappeared, evacu-
ating the valley. 1t was soon ascertain
ed that his retreat had been successful,
carrying off every gun, but destroying
his wagon trains. His dead and woun-
ded were left upon the field, however,
After leaving Resaca and the valley the
rebels crossed all their trains and loco
motives and burned five spans of the rail
road bridge over the Oostenaula river.
At 9 o'clock Gen. Hooker laid pom
toons and crossed near Resaca, while
Schofield crossed on the left near Pelton.
Generals Stoneman, fitzpatrick and Cook,
with the cavalry, started in pursuit and
soon engaged the enemy with artillery
Gen. Mcpherson made several attempts
tolay pontoons and cross with his corps
but failed, in consequence of the destruc.
tive fire by the rebel rear guard.
The total losses in the engagements
thus far were from four to five thousand
of whom two thousand Were slightly
wounded. The killed will amount to
about eight hundred. -..-.. 1a +
In every assault upon the works O
the rebels their loss was very heavy, ant
