Rebel Account of How ssBragg
and JEFF. Davis Got Sucked.v

A correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle, written of recent operations
near Richmond, says:
Pickets when separated by a river, soon
become intimate The 18th discovered
the 5th, and the 5th seemed glad TO meet
the 18th. Would you believe it, the ras-
calls made merry with their defeats and
losses One circumstance afforded them
intense delight. That was, to use their
own peculiar word, the manner in which
Bragg and Davis got sucked" Sheridan,
at the time to which allude, was consid-
cred by the most enlightened rebels in
Richmond. to have been secured. Our po-
sition was between Brook Church and
Strawberry Hill; the former place about
five miles from the town, and the latter
on the Central Railroad, about four miles
from Richmond. On the north side of
the Chickahominy Fitz Hugh Lee and
his cavalry and artillery. Gracie's and
Barton's brigades of infantry were on the
south side. Between these formidable
lines lay Sheridan and his command
Fitz Hugh Lee sent word to President
Davis that the Yankees were hemmed in.
No avenue of escape was left unguarded.
If he wanted to see how Yankees could
run, he had but to ride out in the morn
ing. Mr.. Davis, accompanied by General
Bragg. did ride out. When he arrived,
the 9th New York and 18th Pennsylvania,
of Devon's brigade, Torbett's division,
were driving the rebels from Meadow
Bridge. This is how Davis and Bragg got
sucked" They came to see how fast
Yankees could run, and behold their own
Virginians were too feet-footed; for the
Yankees pursued them hard, but could
not oyertake them.

The New York World on the
Nominations,

The New York World is generally
shrewd and able, though malignant and
disloyal. Its recent editorials on the nom
nations of the Baltimore Convention
would, however, indicate that it has lost
even its shrewdness-its only redeeming
quality. 1t discOurses as follows:
The only merit we can discover in this
Baltimore ticket is the merit of coHs,steH-
cy; 1T Is all a piece; the tail does not
shame the head, nor the head shame the
tail. Il rditspfHiag Js6o0H and JOOrish
tuiiOr, both from the Gack.ooois, JoH gro,oiHg
up IN uaconh iynoroncs. they would afford
grotesque subject for a satiric pOet," &c
Remarks like these are suicidal and
senseless- The only injury that they can
intlict is upon their writers-not on those
whom they attack. The World seems to
hve forgotten that our government is
II m".l ,tic one-that the vote of every
''rsni litter bufioon" and 'boorish tai
lor" counts for as much as that Of the ar
iStocratic millionaire-and that rail-split-
ters and tailors and others of the same
rank in life are too numerous, too respec-
table and too influential 10 he safely jeer-
ed at. II is in the hands Of these very
people-Rhom the world affects so great
ly to despair-that the government rests;
and that this is so is the chief glory of our
republic. Why, the very fact that the
Union nominees are taken from among
the peOple-that one was once rail
splitter, and the other a tailor-wilI be
the chief element of their popularity. 1t
is proper that it should he so These
men, coming from the people, are more
thoroughly in sympathy with them and
can represent them better than moneyed
aristocrats. And. too, the very fact that
Abraham Lincoln rose from rail-splitting
to the Presidency-thatA Andrew johnson,
a despised and illiterate tailor's appren-
tice, one of the poor white trash" of the
South, became, in spite of adverse fate.
the Representative, Governor and finally
United States Senator of his adopted
State, proves more strongly than anything
else the personal ability and worth of the
two men. We hope that the World will
keep it before the people" that one of
the Union nominees is a ''rail,splitting
butloon" and the other "boorish tailor Z"

An nAstonished Japanese.

1t is related in letter from Paris, that
of all the wonders which the Japanese
Ambassadors have seen in Paris the one
that has most astonished them is La POM
merais's trial Their interpreter read to
them daily the reports of the proceedings,
which occupied the court ten days. They
supposed that La Pommerais must be a
prince, or at least some very illustrious
parsonage; and when they were told that
he was an obscure medical practitioner,
of no social standing, they could not bring
themselves to understand how il could be
necessary to lose six or eight months in a
preliminary instruction, to cite some hun
dred witnesses, and to spend upwards Of
a week in hearing experts, doctors, ETC.,
all about the life of simple individual:
In our country, they said, justice is much
more expeditions. A man is accused of a
crime; his bowels is ripped up, and there
is an end to it. If he is guilty, so much
the better; and if innocent, so much the
the worse for him; but there is no great
harm done. This European respect for
human life has, however, struck the prin-
ciple Ambassador as a thing worthy to
make q note of, and he has addressed q
report to the Tycoon on the subject.

The Funeral of MIR. Giddings.

The funeral of the Honorable j. r.
Giddings took place at jefferson, Ashta-
bula county, Ohio. at I o'clock on Mon
day evening. The Se7ltncl says: The
house was draped with the flag of his
country, and when, with the setting sun,
his mortal remains were committed to
the earth, the village girls cast flowers
and garlands into his grave. in sweet to-
ken of the gentleness of his character, and
the presence of spirit that could appre-
ciate the beautiful in nature and the
feeling in humanity; and the last glow of
the sunset reflected from the banner of
the free, united with the perfume of the
flowers, to bless his resting place.
Mr.. Giddings wrote a letter to his
daughter few days before his death, ex-
pressing his gratitude at just having the
finishing stroke to his new history of the
anti-slavery movement, and his great
satisfaction at having lived to see his
most cherished ideas come to maturity
and the abolition principal adopted as the
interest of the American people. He ex-
pressed the utmost truth in the final sub
lection of the rebellion, faith which he
said 'had never wavered once" After
having lived to see so many of his proph-
ecies fulfilled, and 80 many of his hopes
come to fruition, he could say, "Now,
Lord, lettest thy servant depart in peace. y

who are the Ruling Class I'm this
Country.

The New York Times in commenting
on an article in the London Spectator
which maintains that the small free hold
ers cultivating the soil, and not the inhab-
itants of cities, are really the governing
class in this country, makes a confession
not more true than just. 1t says:
1--WE of the cities, where great deal of
the froth and clamor of American society
comes to the surface, do not always real
ize that after all we are scarcely more
than bubbles on the great stream of Amer
ican life. The deep controlling current
flows below in the silent farming and
rural classes. Except through her press,
New York, for instance, has very little in
huence in the agricultural communities.
One only needs to travel awhile in the
vast farming districts of the West to re-
alize how insignificant, after all. is this
great commercial City. The ''farmers," {"
as the London journal rightly judges,
have shaped the policy. through its whole
history, of the Republican and Union
party; they have in fact framed its plat
form, and it is they who feed the armies
and who will determine how long the
war shall be carried on. They govern the
Republic"

The Rattle of Coal uarbor.

The battle of Coal Harbor, which was
fought between the armies of Generals
Grant and Lee, on the 4th of June, was
more hotly contested and important en-
gagement than the public seem to sup
pose. Its result will materially change
the plan of operations. Curiously enough.
il was fought on almost the same ground
which, two years ago, proved turning
point in McClellan's campaign. The 18th
corps under Smith, had just madeits juno
ti0n with the grand army, and everything
seemed ready for the decisive stroke, and
it must be confessed that not without
some disappointment did the evening of
that eventful day show that our noble
army had advanced toward Richmond
scarcely halfa mile, with an uneonquered
and defiant enemy in front. Our left and
left center was chiefly engaged, and the
point attacked was unexpectedly ascer-
tanned to be the key of the rebel works,
and of course more formidably fortified
and defended than any other part of the
rebel line. Notwithstanding this, our
troops succeeded in capturing a portion
of the works, but were unable to hold
them, owing to their being enfladed by
the rebel artillery from other positions.-
Some of the rebel newspapers have re-
marked that the armies in front of Rich
mond are fighting over the same ground
which they occupied during the McClel-
Ian campaign of 1862. This is true, but
the positions are reversed. Then the reb-
els held Coal Harbor and Mcclellan held
Gaines Mills; whereas, now we hold Coal
Harbor and the rebels have Gaines Mills.
In 1862, too, Mcclellan had divided his
army between the two sides of the Chick
ahominy. Had Lee. done so in this in
stance, Grant would have destroyed his
army; but Lee has kept all his forces
north of the river, and fortified his lines
there heavily.
Grant, Immediately upon crossing the
Pamunky and moving forward against
the rebels, appreciated the great import
ance of Coal Harbor, and fought to gain
it, in which he succeeded. In the great
battle of Friday he made an effort which,
had it proved fortunate, would have been
most disastrous to Lees army, for we
should have forced the passage of the
Chickahominy, with Lee in a ruinous re-
treat before our fire. The rebel army in
ours great peril in fighting with the river
in ITS immediate rear, but in this Lee
trusts to the strength of his earthworks,
which at this point have served him well.
Notwithstanding the formidable charac-
ter of the rebel works, Hancock seems to
have firmly established himself within
fifty yards of them, and Just over the crest
of hill facing them.

Morgan i'm Kentucky.

The great horse-thief is again commit
ting his depredations. The thieving
JOHN is the special hero of the New York
NelCi, and-unless circumstances lie worse
than JEFF. DAVIS ever did-the particular
friend of certain ones who profess to be
"loyal Union men," and may be found in
high official position in Kentucky. He
with his banditti, according to latest ac
counts, has commenced his career of rob
berry, murder and pillage with an sndAci-
ty and recklessness, which betokens on
his part devil may care propensity that
will stop at the commission Of no crime,
however wicked, for purposes of revenge,
or from pure choice of malignity, and
an unenviable thirst for a notoriety that
shall place him in the annals of the
worlds dark history of robbers and pi-
rates, on the same page with such char
actersas Rinaldo Rinaldini, Captain Kidd,
La Fitte, John A. Murrill, Quantrell and
others.
Or, the CINCINNATI Gazette is of the
opinion that this invasion is intended for
something more than a mere horse-steal-
ing operation. By some it is believed to be
the beginning of a movement, the grand
object of which is to cut all communiea-
ton with the army under Sherman, and
thus compel its retreat from Georgia.
And there are many symphathizers in
Kentucky, who, Notwithstanding their
outward protestation of loyalty, would
desire to see that State precipitated into
rebellion, and bring upon it war in its
most terrible form. few days will
undoubtedly develop the object of the
movement, and if it should prove to be
I 4.
| full and costly will be the price that Ken
lucky shall be compelled to pay for her
unparalleled treachery. The clark and
bloody ground" will receive terrible con-
firmation of that appellation. The dew
astating sweep of fire and sword will
drench her soil in the gore of her recre-
ant sons; her fruitful fields will be laid
waste, her towns and cities destroyed,
and terror, dismay, and desolation run
riot throughout her borders.
Kentucky ever since the inauguration
of the rebellion, has held more despi-
cable position in reference to the terri
BILE issue between freedom and slavery,
than any State in the Union. To her
can be accorded the palm of vascillation
and treachery. In the darkest hours OF
the nations distress, she has Indignantly
and insultingly refused her aid to the
Government, and, while secretly conni-
wing with traitors has endeavored to
maintain her status,with the loyal portion
of the Union. History can never record
another instance of treachery more base,
policy more detestable, or infamy so
damning, in any age of the world, than
that which has attracted to Kentucky
throughout the entire course of the pres
ent war, and it is our humble belief that
fire and sword, bayonet and ball, will be
required to brighten her treason-tarnish-
ed escutcheon. We have greater admi-
ration for South Carolina to-day than we
have for Kentucky. The Palmetto State
can display more consistent record.

a Happy Home.

What a sweet picture is that of a happy
home, and Il fond domestic circle! Thou
sands of such may lie found in this Chris
tian land. We will try to tell our young
readers what are the principal things
which help TO make home happy.
First OF all is piety. The love of God
and constant endeavOr to keep this COM
mandments, and humble trust in the
Lord Jesus Christ, and good hope thro'
his grace of celestial home hereafter
these tend to smoOthe away all the troub-
les of life and to highten all it, enjoy
ments.
Next comes mutual affection. This
helps to suppress every unkind word and
action, and makes each member of a
household anxious to regard the wishes
and promote the happiness of every 9th
er. Love is better than sunshine in any
dwelling, and far better than costly fur
niture, or fine clothes or plenty of money.
Thirdly, in every house where there are
children. comes an obedient and respect
full demeanor on the part OF the children
toward all who are older than themselves,
and especially toward their parents. Such
n demeanor lead children to be regarded
as ornaments and comforts to the domes-
