truly miraculous. A Mrs. Passeno, whose
husband was wounded on his barge about
a week ago by guerrillas while coming up
the river, and who now lies in hospital, was
sitting ON the end Of barge with four
children and colored man, and the whole
party were carried to the further end of
the vessel by the force of heexplosion; but
strange to say the only injury any of the
party sustained was slight cut in the head
of one of the children, and some of the
others a little bruised. Ordnance Sergeant
Harris, who has been in the army some
twenty-five years, was instantly killed.
Richard Ansell and John Metcalf,; Fifth
regiment cavalry, General Grants escort,
were killed; log of wood, some one hun
dred pounds in weight, striking the former
on the head at his quarters on top ofsthe
bank. Lieutenant S. G. Lame, ordnance
officer cavalry depot, was wounded in sew
eral places, but not dangerously.

To secretnry stanton.

"The evil that men do lives after them," is
hackneyed quotation forcibly illustrated
in the career of DAVID HUNTER, Major Gen.
eral. He is no longer in command of the
Department of West Virginia, but the two
innocent men he arrested and ruined are
still pining in the dungeon to which they
were consigned by HUNTER in moment of
capricious violence and meanness. They
are charged with no offence, they are guilty
OF no wrong, yet they suffer the penalties
attached to being rebel or convicted fell
on. Messrs. BAKER and LONG, in their
solitary confinement in the Atheneum, in
the hands of the brutal and corrupt OVER,
are the best and fittest subjects that have af-
forded Secretary STANTON an opportunity
to exhibit his love Of justice, his indepen-
dence and his fairness. Will the Secretary
do this act OF justice and order the release
Of these clearly innocent men? .Ha

Mobile.

The movement against Mobile, in order
to be an effective diversion in favor of
SHERMAN, must be successful not only
against the forts in the bay, but the works
on shore. The capture of the city, in short,
will alone be of assistance to SHERMAN, for
experience has demonstrated that but few
men are necessary to successfully defend
earthworks. Should FARRAGUT and GRAN
GER capture Mobile, the campaign in Geor-
gia is over and the problem at Atlanta
solved; If those officers effect nothing more
than they have already effected the influ-
ence of their movement upon SHERMAN's
campaign viii be unimportant. The san
guine anticipations of the Administration
press of the immediate capture of Mobile,
must be taken with the usual allowance for
the Chinese enthusiasm Of such unsteady
lights.

CoMMoTIoN AMONG THE LOUISVILLE
NIGGERs.-The colored population were
slightly excited yesterday and the day be-
fore. The military authorities concluded
to clear the streets of the idle loafers, and
the patrol guard was instructed to arrest
all of the African citizens, free, slave, or
contraband, found idling about the city.
On Tuesday evening two hundred of said
Africans were collected by the guard and
furnished quarters for the night at Barracks
No. 1. They were turned over to Capt.
Hewett yesterday morning to be placed at
work on the Notifications Of the city. The
patrols were still after the colored popula-
tion yesterday, and numerous stragglers
were picked up and furnished with some
thing to do. The Observation-Disclosures is

A CASE in point under General Canby's
late order regulating the navigation of the
river, came up on the last trip of the Conti-
mental from New Orleans to st. Louis. 1t
appears that certain Brigadier General,
who was aboard, took it into his head to
regulate affairs, and demanded that the
passengers on board, among whom were
several officers, should be seated at the Ia
BILE according to their respective rank
Some objection was made to the manner Of
seating the passengers, when the Brigadier
repaired below, procured file of soldiers,
and had everybody removed from the table,
and was in the act of seating them to his
peculiar notion, when Captain Carson, the
commander of the boat, produced General
Canby's order, which distinctly states that
on all chartered or public steamers the mas
ter of the vessel shall be considered su-
preme in the control and management of
his vessel, upon reading which the Briga-
dier took back seat, and all passed smooth
ly tho balance of the trip. T9 1ugk

Bounty JUMpING.-The last exposed
case of bounty jumping is that of a soldier
who had lost one Of his eyes in battle, and
was discharged from the service. Shortly
after he entered into partnership with a
substitute broker in Boston, who furnished
him with very neat glass eye and enlisted
him, and he was sent to the army. There
he soon lost his eye again, or rather remov-
ed it and put it into his pocket, and obtain
ed his discharge. This process he several
times repeated, ard when unable to get his
discharge, deserted. Unfortunately thir-
teen proved an unlucky number for him.
and the trick being discovered, he was tried
and sentenced to be shot.

p. McHume, of Racine, discharged
Sergeant from some regiment in Tennessee,

the officers he was placed in cell, where he
cut his throat with knife, tore the flesh
open with his fingers, filled his tin drinking
cup with gore, and hurled 1t in the faces Of
the officers. The wretched man then sat
down, supported his head with his hands,
and died without struggle. He was some
80 years ofage, well dressed, and $84 were
found in his pockets. atAA 4N-f

Frightened at its Own Thunder.


The Cincinnati Commercial is becoming
frightened at its own thunder. That paper
has been engaged the past week in draw
ing portraits of its own party leaders, but
when the picture was completed, and ap-
piled to LINCOLN as well as BEN. EGGLEs-
TON, the hideous but accurate photograph
scares the, artist, and he makes lame at
tempt to show that his work was intended
for Democratic politicians. This will not
do. The "political tricksters, shysters,
vagaboads, and ignoramuses" hung up in
the Commercials picture gallery are Aboli-
tionists, not Democrats and it is now too
late to change the label. We fear the Com
nsercial is being bullied into the traces by
the staggering insolenoe of the Gazette,
but we trust not. That sheet has plucked
up courage enough to object to Gen. Hun
TER, and denounce demagogue in its own
party-it is disgraceful in its editor to think
of skedaddling from the noise of his own
gums. 49, .rrlIt-r

sMY LORD PREsIDENT"-The Admins

gusto correspondence between Anne Will
hanson, of Edinburg, Scotland, and A.
Lincoln, of Sangam0n county, Illinois,
now temporarily residing in Washington,
respecting the presentation of piece of
plaid by the former to the latter. Miss
Williamson had probably read about Lin
coins journey through Baltimore disguised
in Scotch cap, and having seen portraits
of him, her brilliant imagination no doubt
pictured the fine figure he would cut in
cap and kilt, and hence she sent the plaid
to make him petticoat. But the beauty of
the correspondence is the complacency with
which Lincoln accepts Miss Williamson's
title of address to him, "My Lord Presi-
