THE STATUE Of FREEDoM.-During Bl-

ebrated scul ptor tor a bronze statue Of
Freedom to be placed on the dome of the
new Capitol building. The statue is finish
ed and had just been placed on its pedes-

oiium upon the ADMINISTRATION by saying
that it has been colored to crafty the
prcjudices of the abolitionists There Is,
however, curious fact in this connection
which may please the conservatives, and
VIC give it accordingly. When the bronze
castings were being completed at the foun-
dry Of Mr. NJ lis near Bladcnsburg, his
foreman, who had superlutendel the work
from the beginning, struck for higher
wages. He was receiving IS per day and
demanded SO, and said NOBODY in Amer

work. One of the negro slaves who was
at work there said, II can do that we'll
The striker was dismissed and the slave

attacked by the rebel Generals Shelby and
Feegan, with force of from FIVE thousand
to seven thousand men, and eight pieces OF
artillery. Our forces were commanded by
Lieut.. Col. Drake, of the 36th Iowa. At
ter a noble resistance of about two hours,
and repeatedly refusing to surrender, they
were finally surrounded and nearly all Ia
ken prisoners. A large number were kill
ed. The loss in killed, wounded and pris-
oners it is impossible to give here. The
loss of artillery is FIVE pieces. Some four
teen hundred mules and two bundled and
twenty five wagons were captured. The
failure of Gen. Steele is the necessary con-
sequence of the disaster to Banks. The
duty of the former General was to take
Camden, and from that quarter to advance
and aid in the attack upon Shreveport. He
took Camden, and had Gen. Banks been
successful, that capture would have had
strong influence in preventing the rebels
from retrieving their losses in the trans
Mississippi department.
A dispatch from Cairo, May 9th, says:
The steamer c. E. Hillman has just arrived
from Memphis with dates TO the afternoon
of the 5th. The advance Of Gen. Sturgis'
cavalry force, under Col. Kaige, of the Cd
New Jersey cavalry, 700 strong, with two
pieces of artillery, encountered brigade
of Forests men, 800 to 900 strong, near
Bolivar, on the south side of the Hatobie,
on Monday night. Avery severe fight took
! place, lasting two hours. and resulting in
the enemy being driven from their entrench-
ments and retreating across the river through
Bolivar, destroying the bridge behind him.
Il is reported by citizens that Forrest was
present in the fight, and it is believed that
he is beating rapid retreat into Mssissip-
pi. We killed and wounded large num-
Der, and took several prisoners. Our loss
was two killed and ten wounded. General
Sturgis is in hot pursuit.
Latest advices from below represent the
appearance of the enemy on both banks Of
the Mississippi river. Our pickets were
driven in at Vcksburgh, and an attack was
anticipated upon that place and Natchez.
The Commercial Advertiser has report
from New Orleans that Gen. Banks, on the
retreat 10 Alexandria, was assailed by the
Rebels, in force, at Cane river and suffered
heavily. Thirteen transports and gun boats
are said to have been blown up by his or
ders, to prevent their falling into the hands
of the enemy.
The papers contain call for National
Convention, to be held at Cleveland, Ohio,
on the 3lst Of May, for consultation in re-
spect to the Presidential election. The call
declares that the one term principle ought
to be infexibly adhered to, and the callers
do not recognize in the Baltimore Conven-
ton the essential conditions of truly Ma
tional Convention.

No doubt exists but that there is strong
and active opposition in the country to the
denomination of Abraham Lincoln. Ii
comes mostly from the real, uncompromis-
ing AuG-Slavery men of the country, and
is headed by such presses as the New York
Tribune, New, York Independent, Evening
Post, and Missouri Democrat. They say
Mr.. Lincoln has not improved the opporlu-
mites which the war has placed in his hands
to destroy slavery, but has pursued time
serving course in order to keep on the good
side of the Pro Slavery men in the Border
States. They denounce him bitterly for
mastering and drafting the colored men into
the service, and allowing them to be butcher
ed by the Rebels wherever caught, without
any effort for their protection or attempt at
retaliation on the part of the Administra-
ton. Unless the President should adopt a
more satisfactory policy on these matters
very soon, he will find this element Of op-
position a powerful and united one. II will
undoubtedly lead to the nomination of FIRE.
mont or some other man by the Cleveland
convention, which would create a division
in the Republican ranks, and enhance the
chances of the Chicago candidate, a thing
that would not be to the best interests of
the country at this time, in our opinion.
This element of opposition to Mr.. Lincoln
is determined. 1t is composed of men who
= are fighting for principle, and care nothing
for men or party names. 1t is the same
political element which destroyed the old
pro-slavery Wing party and reared the Re-
publican party. It numbers hundreds Of
thousands Of voters.
