War Preparations.

Everywhere, in all parts of the field,
continne the notes of military and ma
val preparation. One of the most sig
nificant is the reported withdrawal of
a large part of our land forces from
the Department Of the South at Port
Royal, for immediate operations in
Virginia. When the campaign opens,
it will be oh gigantic scale, and the
shock Of these huge veteran armies
will be something the world has not
seen since the days of Napoleon. We
shall soon have some decisive battles
And we are not to forget that war has
its varying fortunes. 1t is well to ex-
poet victory, SO far as esp ss O.
so implicitly to look for it, as to be in
stantIy overwhelmed at failure. 1t
is no more than prudent for the Gov
eminent aud the people presently to
stand ready to repair a disastrous
defeat in Virginia, and that state Of
readiness will in no respect impair our
capacity to welcome and improve the
anticipated successes which shall seal
the ruin Of the Conledcracy. Remcm-
Der that it is our confessed advantage
in this war that we can sustain and
outlive rcyerscs, and find none so
crushing but at the end we shall re-
store all in our final triumph but the
Confedcracy defeated in Virginia, and
driven to the wall in Georgia, would
collapse and be heard of no more. Let
the people stand firm. Great events
hang ON the next few weeks Chicago

The Red River Expedition.

We have additional interesting de-
tails of recent events in the Red river
expedition. The advices are down to
the 18th. The unfortunate battle on
the 9th instant was at Sabine Cross
Roads. The Onion forces were de-
teated, and driven back nine miles,
losing over 1000 men, % cannon, and
a supply train of 100 wagons. The
fight on the 9th was at Pleasant Hill,
where the rebels were defeated with
heavy loss. 1 900 Of them being taken
prisoners, and two of the Union guns
recaptured. The rebel forces in these
engagements numbered $4,000, and
were under command of Kirby Smith,
Dick Taylor, Magruder and Holmes
being his subordinate commanders.
Notwithstanding the Federal victory
on the second day, Gen. Banks sub
sequently fell back to Grand Ecorc, in
consequence of a scarcity of rations,
and sent message to Admirald Por-
ter who was $50 miles above, to re-
turn with the transports containing
supplies for the army. While the
feet was descending the river, an at
tack was made upon it by the rebels
from both banks but the assailants
were finally driven of, with an csti-
mated loss of 500 or 600 men. The
feet suffered but little injury.

Making a Virtue Of Necessity.

Chicago newspapers and Chicago
business men are making a great ado
over the recent move against Eastern
currency. The Tribune is cacklng at
a terrible rate over its championism
Of the anti.stumptail cause. The
movement, if we are to believe the
Tribune, commenced at Chicago, in the
Office of that oracular Journal, which
is supposed to know everything and q
good deal besides. To outsiders, how
ever, instead of being dictated by de-
votion to the best interests Of the
Northwcst-instead Of being started
= Chicsoa the mnyement began in
Iowa, eliminated in the passage OF :
law against stumptail trash from the
East, and it looks at this time, as
though Chicago, seeing that the stuff
would be pushed back upon her, was
rather compelled to stand from under.
At any rate the move originated in
Iowa, and all trash will be excluded
from this State after the LIST of July,
under the law of last winter.

They forbid the Committee to agree
to any report which authorizes any
other than "frce white male citizens "
to vote. Yet the House has passed a
bill for the enrolment of colored citi-
zens, and has urged upon the Execu-
tive more vigorous effort for their
enlistment. That is, the House thinks
the negro good enough to fight for the
Union, but not good enough to vote
for it. The Senate declined the propo.
sition of the House for new Commit

it was impertinently offered.

was, Independent" Now take cx-

A serious accident occurred at
McGregor few days ago, caused by
the accidental discharge Of a pistol in
the hands of young lad named Fry,
employed there in store. A young
girl named Jennie Wheeler called at
the store to make some purchases,
when the lad playfully lifted the pis-
toll beneath the counter, and as he
brought it mp it was accidentally dis
charged, the contents lodging in the
face of the girl. The injuries, although
serious, will not prove fatal.

right gave them possession OF Taylor's
Battery, and forced our line still fur.

Now came the grand coup de main
The 10Th corps on arriving at the TOP
of the hill suddenly filed over the bill

Smith. The rebels came on sue OF
success. The first line passed over
the knoll, and all needless of the long
line Of cannon and crouching forms,
pressed on. The second line appear
ed, and on the instant the death sig
nal was sounded. Words cannot de-
scribe the awful effects of this dis
charge. Seven thousand rifles and
several batteries loaded to the muzzle
with grape and canister were fired
simultaneously. The rebel centre
was crushed and broken. No time
was given the rebels to get in order
again, but Gen. Smith ordered a
charge. in which the boys of tue 10Th
corps joined. The rebels fought DIES
pcra,cly back to the timber, where
large portion nf them broke and
iled, fully 1000 throwing aside their
arms. Taylor's and Minis batteries
were retakcn, and also the Parrot,
guns taken from us at Carbon Crow

the rebels. About seven hundred
prisoners were captured. A desulto.
