Prescott journal. [volume] (Prescott, Wis.) 1861-1871, 1864-05-28

We have been permitted to publish the fol-
lowing extract from letter by an officer on
Gen. Brooks staff, received by gentleman
in this city:
HEADQUARTERS IsT DIV. 18TH Corps,
PORT WALTHAL, Va, May $, 1861.
BY well conceived and skillfully execut-
ed strategetic movement, the main features
of which are already familiar to you, the
Army of the Peninsula under Gen. Smith has
been transferred from its position at York
town to the south side of the James river, at
the point where the Appomattox flows into
that stream. Here within ten miles of Pet
ersburg and twenty of Richmond, as the
roads run, we are now encamped, to the COM
plete surprise of the Confederate leaders and
the terror of the inhabitants of all this Sec
ton of country, which has heretofore been
free from rthe despoiling influences of an
army. An important result of this move
ment was developed on yesterday in an ex-
peditiOn under command of Gen. Brooks, who
with considerable force advanced toward
the Petersburg and Richmond railroad, in
front of which the enemy were prepared to
defend this important line of communications.
When within a mile and half of the railroad
the skirmish line of the enemy was discover
ed, and almost Immediately brisk fire en-
sued. Pushing forward our lines of battle
through dense woods, we drove the rebels
back from one position to another until we
succeeded in gaining point on the railroad.
At once the work of tearing up the ties and
bending the rails was commenced, until half
a mile or more of railroad was destroyed, and
an extensive saw mill near at hand with a
large quantity of lumber set on fire and burn
ed to the ground. The object of the expedi-
flor, bavinor haan crcoaScfniIv accumulated
we returned to camp.
Our advance lines are now within a mile
and half of the railroad and the nature of
our position is such that we can repeat the
operation of yesterday in spite of all OppOsi-
ton. Thus one of the main channels of con-
nection with the rebel Capitol is virtually de-
stroyed and the rear of Lees army seriously
threatened by cutting off his source of sup
plies. Prisoners and deserters report the
force in our front at something over 5000,
under command of Gen. Beauregard.
During the engagement yesterday rein
forcements were arriving by cars until we
obtained possession of the railroad. Our
loss was between two and three hundred in
killed and wounded. The Sth Connecticut
lost more than any other single regiment
The rebel loss is reported by deserters as be-
ing greater than our own.
What are to be our future movements time
can alone develope. Should success attend
the Army of the Potomac, the line of Federal
forces will almost envelope Richmond, and
then is fair prospect we shall compel its
evacuation.
With the able commanders with the forces
here the country need have no apprehensiOns
for our gallant army. The names of Smith,
Gilmore and Brooks, among others, are
guarantee that neither ability or energy will
be wanting to insure success in all its opera
tions.

The Old Iron Brigade.

The brave old Iron Brigade, commanded
by Gen. CUTLER, has as usual, taken a con-
spicuous part in the recent battles. 1t was
in Gen. WADswoRTH's Division. In describ-
ing the desperate battle of Friday, in the
wilderness, where Gen. WADswoRTH was kill
ed, the New York HaalFs correspondent
says:
"Gen. Wadsworth's division had had hard
work before It, and right CALAMITY, with a
few exceptions did it set at it. Through a
dense thicket the column had TO press its
way forward The enemy lay behind earth
works, and as the column came by, rose and
poured terrible volley into it. The shock
startled Col. Stones brigade, causing them
to make precipitate retreat. The rest of
the division, however, marched unfinchingly
on, and Col. Stone soon rallied his men and
joined in the advance. Gen. Cutters Wis
consin troops, known, as will be remembered,
as the Old Iron Brigade, were particularly
brave and cool, as they always have BEEN"
When Gen. WADswoRrH fell, Gen. CUTLER
took command of the division.

The Five Per Cent. Fund Due the State---Dis.
cussiOn In the Senate.
[From the Milwaukee Sentinel. 7


The Senate has still under discussion the
resolutions providing for the payment to the
State OF the five per cent. fund on the sales
OF the public lands SO long withheld and for
a final settlement with the old Rock River
Company. A recent number of the Congress
sioDal Gtobe contains a speech of Senator
Howe on the subject. He presents the case
very clearly, and very conclusivelv. in he.
half of demand of. the State.
As the matter has heretofore stood, as We
learn from Senator Howe's speech Wisconsin
has been credited on the books of the Interi-
or Department with the FIVE per cent. in
question. Then the same Department has
charged the State with 125, 900 acres of land
comprising this Rock River grant at $3.50
per acre, making an amount greater than the
credi
From this statement of the account Senator
Howe dissents. He argues very clearly that
there is neither justice nor propriety in charg-
ing the State with the total. The lands were
granted for a specific purpose, and a compa.
ny was organized TO carry out that purpose,
to which the proceeds of the land as sold
were given. 1t was project in which the
government was quite as much interested as
the territory, expecting by it to enhance the
value of the lands remaining sufficiently TO
remunerate for all the outlay. The territory
had no other duty nor responsibility in the
premises except to account for the funds ac.
tually received from the sales of lands, which
the State is, and always has been, ready to
do. The Territory paid the money over to
the company as long as there was any proba
bility of the canal being constructed; when
that probability failed, the territory refused
to pay over the money longer, and used what
was left for its own purposes. What it used
for these purposes, it is ready and DESTROYS
| through the State to refund, and is perfectly
willing that it should be deducted from the
amount claimed, and which the government
admits to be due by erediting the State with
it. More than this is not Just, and the State
is willing to do no more.
So far as settling with the old Rock River
Canal Company is concerned, the State has
no objection to the Government doing it, as
proposed in these resolutions. The State
will pay over the money used by the terrific
ry, which money the Government can give TO
the canal company or make such other dispo-
sition of it as it pleases
Senator Howe has placed this matter be-
fore Congress in a light so clear and under
standable, that it seems to US it must he as
sented to, and the long pending claim be set
tied. The amount coming to the State must
be in the neighborhood of 100000.

stand of colors and seven pieces of artillery,
unless the cavalry has since taken more, of
which there are some hopes
We can doubtless pursue the enemy to the
Etowah River with ease, as cars came down
to Resaca to-day, the rebels not having injur-
ed the railroad any where south of Buzzarl
Roost Our Geographic communication is al
so perfect to Resaca. The rebels have made
no attempt to interfere with our communica-
tons, except by burning the depot at Madison,
west of Huntsville. Cars run through to
Nashville as usual.

THE THIRTY FIRST REGIMENT.-A eorrespon-
dent in the Thirty-fr Regiment, under date
of Murfreesboro, May Sd, writes that the reg

that place towards Chattanooga. Four COM
panies, viz: B, F, G, and K, are at Murfrees-
boro. Company F, is doing provost duty in
town, while the others there are doing picket
duty. The Eighth Battery is also at MUIR
freesbOro, or at least part of it. Compan-
les b, G, ard K, were stationed at different
points within the works at Murfreesboro, for
the management of the artillery, for almost
month. Co. is about twelve miles dist
ant, and Co. A at Stone River Bridge. The
health of the regiment is good.-Sestind.

THE NEGRO TRoOPs AND THE REBEL PRIsO-
NERs.-A correspondent in Grants army saws
that about 1900 rebel prisoners were march
ed past portion of the negro troops of
Burnside's corps. 1t was amusing to hear
the negroes inquire, jestingly, GLOW is you
boss! Mighty good ting we didn't cotch you;
we would never tuck We prisoners" The
prisoners became infatuated, and begged to
have their win of the negroes five minutes
Remember Fort Pillow" the negroes would
urge. We'll cut your black throats," was
the threat of the others. Thus the two
races reviled each other. The master was
prisoner; the bondman free, and a soldier

MCCLELLAN ARITHMETIC.-The New York
World which is disconsolate at the prospect
of success on any other than McCLELLAN's
peninsular route, says that in the seven days
battle ending with Malvern, McCLELLAN's to,
tai losses, were IL, 249 men, and that then he
was within half the distance from Richmond
that GRANT has gained by the loss of 10000.
The Cincinnati Gazette in reply remark:
that doubtless 10000 is largely exaggerated
figure for GRANTS; but let that pass. We
suppose again that McCLELLAN's losses-say
1000 or S,0O0-at Seven Pines, should be
added to the cost of his progress from the
Chickahominy to James river; but we are
willing to take the Worlds calculation. On
the Chickahominy MCCLELLAN reported him.
self five miles from Richmond. At the close
of the seven days battles he was twenty-five
miles from Richmond. If he lost 1929 men
in gaining twenty miles away from Richmond
how many would he have had to sacrifice to
carry him into Richmondon prolongation Of
that line of march +?

ANEoDoTE OF GENERAL GRANT.-A good one
is told of General Grant. As he was in the
cars on his way TO the front, newsboy came
in, crying out ."Life of General Grant"
One of the Generals Aids, pointing to the
General, told the boy he guessed that Nan
would buy a copy. The boy approached the
General, who asked him earelessly, "Who is
General Grant," The boy giving him look
of indignation and disgust, replied, "You
must be id greeny not to know General.
Grant ." The General, after that, of course
bought his life

ParOIed Prisoners.

The following is an extract from letter OF
w. Y. Selleck to the Governor relative to
the transfer of paroled prisoners to hospitals
at the North:
"In regard to the case of Silas Streeter OF

state that he being paroled prisoner, under
a rule or order issued by the Commissary
General of paroled prisoners, cannot be
