CHICAGO, April ~.
A letter to the Evening Journal, dated
Grand Ecore, says:
e Our cavalry had been driving the enemy
for two days, but in the forenoon Of the
9Th word was sent back for an infantry
support, and General Ransom in COM
msnd Of the 81 and 4th divisions Of the
18th corps was ordered to send forward
8 brigade and did so at noon, following
with the fourth division
After advancing about five miles from
where the Sd division of his command, and
the 18th corps, were enesmped, the rebels
made q stand, and our line, consisting Of
only 2,400 infantry, were formed in belt
Of woods with an open field in front and
the enemy in the woods on the other side.
General Stone, of Balls Bluff fame, and
Chief Of General Banks staff, was on the
field and took the direction Of movements.
General Ransom was in favor Of sd-
yanoing only in force, but this wish was
disregarded. After keeping up Skin
mish across this open field for about an
hour the enemy advanced upon US In over
whelming numbers. General Ransom got
all the available troops to the front and
opened on them. The enemy lost heavily,
but advanced steadily and soon made our
cavalry give way, and our infantry fell
back in few moments. The enemy press
ed US so closely, and the panic smong our
cavalry was 50 eemorslizing that the re-
treat became rout.
General Ransom did all in his power To
rally the men, but finding it impossible
without reinforcements he made every ef-
fort to save the artillery. While endesvor-
ing to get the Chicago Mercantile Battery
off safely he was severely wounded in the
leg. Capt Cyrus E Dickey, his Adjutant
was instantly killed, Our loss is large
probably 5000, the Mercantile battery los
all its guns Capt. White is a prisoner
Lieuts. Throop and Mcbride are killed.
While the 4th division was falling bseI
the Sd division, numbering only 1,90t
men, came up, and was Immediately TOut
ed. Finally, the 10Th Army Corps, will
1000 men, came up and formed in line
checked the enemy, and held them unit
we got all the trains of, except that Of tn
cavalry.
The whole army is falling back here
where il must wait and reorgsnize befor
it can proceed further towards shreves
port.

From BALTIMORE.

The inaugurating exercises Of the great
Fair at the Maryland Institute to night
we're very impressive. The Presidents
appearance in the Hall was greeted with
tremendous applause.
After the inaugusl address by Governor
Bradford, the President was loudly called
for, and in response proceeded to make 3
brief address.
He referred 10 the great change that has
taken place in Baltimore the last three
years. Truly the world, he said, had long
been wanting 8 correct definition Of the
word freedom. Whilst all professed to sd-
vocsts liberty, there was in the minds Of
many very opposite views ss 10 what lib
erty was. With one man liberty implied
rights for himself, and to do as he pleased
with the proceeds Of his labor. Others, lib
erty meant to do as you pleased with other
men and their labor. One Of these two
conflicting ideas would have to give way
ourrences which had lately taken place in
Maryland, her people had about deter
mined which Of these views Of freedom
should control her destiRies.
He then alluded to the occurrences re-
| ported to have takea place at Fort Pillow,
the massacre Of several hundred colored
soldiers by the COnfederstes. Many sup.
posed the Government did no intend doing
its duty in regard to the proteotion Of col
ored troops. He desired to say all such
were mistaken. When the question Of
eolored men as soldiers was left to Govern
ment It rested very much with himself
whether he could make soldiers Of them
or not. He rendered the matter carefully
and when he became convinced that Il
was duty to employ them he didnot hesi'
tate to do so.
He stood before the American people
responsible for the act, responsible befoFI
the christian World-responsibl he shoulC
stand in the era Of the history-responsi
bic for it he stood before God, and he did
not shrink from the decision he had made
for he believed he was right. But wheE

POLITICAL.

Colonel John Coburn is suggested as
Union candidate for Lieutenant Governor
of Indiana.
The names Of Governor Dennison and
Governor Tod ss Senatorial delegates
from Ohio to the Chicago Convention are
suggested.
Judge Nathan Allen, who has for many
years been leader in the Democratic par
ty Of Illinois, has abandoned it.
General Nathan Kimbsll has written q
letter declining the Union nomination for
Lieutenant Governor of ofIndisns. He says
he wishes no office, and will accept none
until this rebellion is crushed.
The Union State Committee Of Pennsyl-
vsnis, at their late session, besides calling
g State Convention already noted By us,
resolved against any postponement Of the
National Convention, snd expressed Q
decided preference for Mr.. Lineoln's noni-
nation.
They are telling good many hard sto
ries about Dean Richmond just now. The
New York News says that Dean says Of
the World "the damned thing had better
be kept going until after the Chicago Con-
Tention."
Block Island New shoreham, R. l. has
been heard from, after three weeks inter-
ruption Of communication. James Y.
Smith, for Governor, received 80 votes
No other candidate was voted for. This se-
cures his election, according to the Jour-
nails figures, by l5l msjority.
It is suggested, with much good sense,

if ii shall be found that the reasons
urged for its postponement are adequate,
that body can then decide the matter and
issue new call. It is hoped that the
members of that Convention will not get
together only to name candidates for Pres
ident and Vice President. They have ho-
lier duties to discharge, and higher obligs-
tions to consider; and We are perfectly
willing TO commit the whole question to
their wisdom and patriotism.
About the richest reason assigned for
the grand defeat Of the Peace Democracy
at the spring elections, is given by the
Warren, Ohio, Constitution. II says:
"There is but little interest felt in the
elections throughout the country - the
Democrats seemed to be reserving their
sLfeHsth AOE the isA campaign
The New York Express is one Of the
most ultra Democratic papers in the coun-
try, but it has the candor to publish the
following;
Since the beginning of the present un-
fortunate war some 500 general officers
heve been appointed, and in not one case
thus far, have political considerations en-
tered into the case Of the appointed. Dur
ing the Thirty Congress, the Mil
itsry Committee OF the Senate, composed
Of four Republicans and three Democrats,
entertained 6, 1926 appointments, and in
the present session some 1000, and the
Committee assert that not one party vote
has ever ocouFrad in the Committee room
on reporting fsvorably in the case of any
man"
