GnerFlIlas at BPandenburg, The
Steamer Shingles Fired IntO.

The New Albany Ledger learns that
8 gang Of guerrillas entered and took
possession Of Brandenburg, KY ,on Tues
day, and at once commenced their work
of robbery and outrage. The extent OF
the damage done by them has not been
learned, neither have the names of the
sufferers. But it is supposed that, as
usual, their work of robbery was pref
ty thoroughly done.
On Tuesdy evening as the steamer
Shingles was passing the town, she was
hailed by the guerlillas and ordered TO
land Her Captain, suspecting some
thing wrong, refused to land, and kept
on up the river The guerrillas then
fred upon the boat, but without wound
ing any one, it is believed
In addition to the Ledger S statement,
we learn that the steamer was fred in
to both above and below Gaines Land
ing BY closely hugging the Indiana
shore, the Shinglas passed the points Of
danger in comparative safety Her
sides were badly marked with muske.-
balls. We do not see why some plan
cannot be devised to rid the banks Of
the Ohio river Of the presence Of the. 9
lawless bands. Travel on the river is
becoming really dangerous. If some
efforts are not made to drive tile guer-
rilIas from the country, we may soon
expect to learn of the capture and des.
traction of steamboats, Already the
towns on the Kentucky side ofthe river
are at the mercy of these thieying
bands. Daily we hear the unwelcome
news of raids, pillsge and destruction.
1t seems that the further our gallant
armies penetrate Confederate territory,
the more the defences of Kentucky
become insecure. Louisville Jour

NASHVILLE, June q, 1894
The Governor is the best abused man
in America. For twenty years the SLAM
dereE and calumniator have poured their
vile froth upon him; they have pursued
him with bloodhound tenacity. But,
fortunately for the good. of man, he
stands uninjured and impervious to
their attacks II seems to me strange,
passing strange, that Tennesseans will
still join in this hue and cry against
man who has done every thing in his
power to save them from utter ruin.
Would il not have been better for US, if
we had followed his advice? Did he
not portray to US, correctly, the future
that would be upon US, If We followed

Is it possible that men can be so blind
to their own interest, and 10 the true
nature of facts, that they cannot now
see, with all the Developments which
have been made, that Gov. johnson is
their best friend, and has been true to
them and to his country
But, they say he has turned to be an
abolitionist Why, gentlemen, We de
stroyed the institution Of slavery our
selves, by going into thisyrsbellion. If
we had followed his advice the institu-
ton would have remained uninterrup
ted This rebellion has brought about
such state Of things that every in
partial mind must see that the interest
of the white race demands the liberia
ton of the black. The case is this:
Gov. johnson told us if we did certain
things we would loose our negroes we
did what ne advised Us not to do and
the very consequences followed which
he foretold. And, now, by our own
conduct contrary to his advice, having
brought about a state Of things which
makes it necessary for the interest of
the country to abolish slavery, we de
nounce him for it; call him an aboli-
ZIONIST and all such stuff We did the
work ourselves, and can justly blame
no one but ourselves. think large

will have sense enough, after the terri

that they will not only take pride in

it as a de6t of gratitude due a noble |

The Situation at Petersburg-The Pre-.
slient TO Pay Grant Visit.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.


WASHINGTON, June FL
Several boats loaded with wounded
arrived here to-day from City Point
learn from passengers that the position
in front OF Petersburg is about the same
as telegraphed you last night 4 ram
bling fire was kept up through Satur-
day night and Sunday It was report
ed that the rebels made an attack on
our lines Sunday night Gen. Grant
had sent flag of truce to ask the sur
render of the city, but it was rejected.
Sunday was mostly occupied by both
sides in burying their dead
The rebel positions round Petersburg
are said TO be very strong, and especially
on the east side.
Large wharye are being rapidly built
at City Point. A steamer was fired into
on Friday evening, opposite Wilcox's
landing, by the rebel battery on the
north side of James river. One shot
passed through her, but did no serious
damage.
The six pieces of artillery captured
by our forces before Petersburg were
brought down last Sunday to City Point
They were literally covered with blood,
showing with what desperation they
had been defended
The wharf near the month Of Aqua
Creek was burnt by guerrillas yester-
day
The late Richmond papers claim q
great rebel victory in the late battles
south of James river. They affect con-
tempt for Grants present movements,
and say if it continues his army will be
buried in Petersburg.
Gen. Gilmore arrived here to-day

President lincoln is on his way to
City Point, to pay Grant visit and
make a reconnaissance.

that their occupation is nearly gone,

Last year, just before Grants mag

London Times showed its readers that
Grants almost Immediately annihilia-
ton was certain; he must either stand
sim and surrender, it said, or retreat
and be cut to pieces. Its article on
this subject was republished on this
side the Atlantic in the same papers
that contained the account Of Grants
splendid victory. It is now operating
on the same line 1t has just shown

This is q new and nice idea, that may
safely be commended to delicate writ
ers called upon to state unpleasant
facts Generals are never driven
they do not run away-they do not
even retreat; they draw their enemy
from his base. Napoleon, with the
grand army, did not retreat after the
destruction of Moscow; he drew the
Russians from their base. The Times
has also just shown what imminent
danger Grant was in on the Chicka-
hominy-s danger that has not yet
brought him TO ruin
But what can the Times, or the reb-
ell papers south, possibly say now? All
that has hitherto been said has been
under the inspiration of some danger
to the South. They denounced US so
bitterly and told all these wonderful
lies when Richmond was only threaten

The New Albany Ledger, the leading
Democratic paper in southern Indiana,
thinks it would have been more in
consonance with his VALLANDIGHANs
peculiar position if he had gone quietly
to his home, and there remained, for a
time, at least, instead of first making
his appearance at a public meeting.
His friends, it appears, elected Mr..
VALLASDIGHAM delegate to the Chica-
go Convention, of course with his con-
sent, and probably at his desire. 1t
viii be remembered that Mr.. V friends
tried to get him elected State delegate
to Chicago, and failed; Whereupon he
wrote letter severely censUring these
friends, and saying that he did not au-
thorize this use of his name, and did
not desire to go 10 Chicago. He has
since changed his mind
The Chicago Post adds: "VALIAxDId-
HAN seems also to have changed his
mind on another subject at least there
is a wide difference between him and
his friends" concerning it. IN his
speech at Hamilton, the Exile declared
that he was the ''ouiy victim Of despotic
power in the country" Now, according
to the way his friends have talked for
sorne time past, there should be large
number of such victims What becomes
Of the rest Of the blessed company of
martyrs.
The fact is, the return Of YAlLASDIa-
Han is most embarrassing to the Copper
head party, at this time. He made his
just long enough before the
Chicago Convention, to get himself
before It and that Is just |
The thing the shrewd COpperheads de-
sired to avoid.
