Secretary of the Treasury !: ~.
Mr.. Trcnholm's acceptance of the post vaca-
ted by Air. Memmingcr is, we believe, his first
entrance into'a political career but it takes
place under the most favorable auspicics. His i
popularity far exceeds that ever enjoyed hy his
predecessor, and the people ard press through
out the Confcdcracy accept him with an almost
nnbounded confidence in hie ability and admin
istrative talent. The head of one of the abest
and wealthicst merchant firms in Charleston, l,.
is, SO to speak, the embodiment of that mag
nifcent idea of direct trade with Europe, whicl,
has been one of the chef causes Of the wall
Ills firm, in connection with its European
branch, may fairly Claim the credit of having
been the first 10 organizc grand scale that
trade which now sets the utmost efforts of the
Federal blockade at defiance, and by their en-
torprise, the bold and skiIltui use Of vast re-
sources, sulscrvicnt 70 q lofty sense of patriotic
duty, they have undoubtedly rendered i,rval-
uat!e service 10 tho Country ut n time when it
most needed them. Such successes rs theirs
brings of course its pccunary reward, and tho
firm has immensely added to it's wealth rs well
rs to its prestige. But Mr. Trenholm, with the
impulse and nice perception Of large minded
man, has understood that wealth acquired,
however honoraby and patriot,caly, amidst

ton, is; even more than all other wealth, a

Your correspondent sends the following,

dispatch this morning. the desultary skirmsh
firing which commenced at daybreak, has
merged into very considerable battle.
The rebels discovering our changes of posi-
ton last night and taking advantage of the
same, were found to have massed all their
strength on our right. designing to make one
more desperate assault to break our lines and
get through to our supply trains.
This movement of the foe of course occa-
sioned q re occupation of our old positions OF
yesterday morning, and it was here, upon our
extrems right. and with the I'd and 9th corps
that the struggle has been kept up with more
or less severity, up to to-day. Our troops
were advanced to within very close range OF
their earthwOrks, when murderous artillery
fire was upened on us Occasoning the United
States considerable loss but our own guns
were soon got into position, and under cover
of their fire took their LIST line of rifle pits cap
turing number of prisoners and several guns at
this period. There is q cessation of firing
along the lines and the indications are that
there will be no more lighting before evening
or tomorrow.

InpedImcnts to Supplies.

View persons have any adequate idea of
the necessities of great army marching
into an enemy's country. The Journal
Of Commerce quotes passage from the
the report of Gen. MCCLELLAN which con-
veys very good idea, and which we
quote as exhibiting, in few words the
"impediments "in ten days. march into
Virginia MCCLELLAN, in speaking of his
own army after Antietam, and its need OF
horses and supplies, says:
The official returns of that date show the ag-
gregate strength of the army for duty to have
been about ITO, 900 men of all arms This did
not include Transfers, citizen employees Of
ticers' servants, &C., amounting to some IL,
600 men, which gives total Of 122, 900 men.
The subsistence alone of this army for ten
days required for its transportation $50 wag-
ons at 2. 900 pounds to the wagon, and 10, $50
animals.
Our cavalry horses at that time amounted to
5,047, and our artillery horses to 6,8a6
To transport full forage for these 1852 an.
imals for ten days required 1882 additional
animals, and this forage would only supply the
entire number Gao, 694) of animals, with small
CITED.
1t will be observed that this estimate does
not embrace the animals necessary to trans
port quartermaster's supplies, baggage, camp
equlpage, ambulances, reserve ammunition,
forage for officers horses, &C. &C., which
would greatly augment the necessary Transport
tatiOn.

Bravery OF the Vermonters.

correspondent OF The Herald gives the fol-
lowing incident of the great battle of Tuesday:
Too much cannot be said in praise of the
gallant charge of the Vermont brigade, COM
manded by Col. Grant. After the line of rebel
works described above was carried, and their
expected support did not come up, the divis-
ion of Gen. Russell not being able to remain.
owing to the calling fire poured into their ser.
ried ranks by the second line of the enemy's
rife pits. and being in imminent danger of be-
ing in imminent danger of being cut off from
the main line, on account of the advanced no.
sition had to fall back, and along with them
their prisoners, nearly two thousand in nun
Der. Twelve pieces OF cannon were in the
works; these had to be left. as they could not
be removed and they had not with them the
necessary implements for spiking them. The
Vermont brigade utterly refused to fall back
on the MAN line. even after the position had
been occupied two hours, and they had given
M all hopes Of being reinforced. Col. Upton

rode down to them and told them how danger
were in, since their last round of cartridge had
been discharged at the enemy and they were
rapidly being fanked. But the blood of the
Green Mountain boys was up and they abso-
lutely refused to bulge single hair from the
field they had wrested from the enemy, and
from the spot where their comrades had fallen.
COL Upton, assisted by some of their own Off
GERS, by promising them another charge when
they had supplied themselves with ammuni-
ton, at last induced them sullenly to retire. It
is a proud thing for you. Vermont, that the
patriotic fire which burned in your eires' DO
SONS in 1875, should burn in that of your sons
in 1864 with so bright flame,

Important Improvement by which
the Logs can be Got into the
Mississippi.


From the Minneapolis Atlas.
Our lumbermen have project on foot
that promises to be of incalculable benefit
to cur immense lumber interests. Should
it succeed they will no longer be dependent
on the natural freshets heretofore indis-
pensable) for getting down the logs It is
tais,-to cut canal from Mile Lac Uake
of the Thousand ISL. y to point on Rum
River above the various branches now used
for getting logs. Mile Lac is probably the
largest body of water in the State of Min
nesota, being fifty miles long, with an aver
age breadth of from ten to twenty miles.
The distance from the main lake to the
head of Rum River is some fourteen miles.
This intermediate space is taken up by two
small lakes. These small lakes, or at least
one of them, is what our lumbermen have
heretofore endeavored to draw sup ~ of
water from to food Rum River This has
been found wholly inadequate for the pur-
pose desired. 1t has been recently discov-
cred that the surface of the main lake is
some too and one half feet above that of
the smaller lakes below Hence it is pro-
jected to cut canal of sufficient capacity
from the main lake, so as to secure the
benefits arising from this elevation.
To do this two projects have been pro-
posed. One is to food the smaller lakes
by cutting an outlet from the vast waters
of the main lake. The other is to cut
canal the distance of four miles to point
on a good-sized creek that enters Rum
River two miles below the outlet from the
lower small lake The latter is at present
supposed to be the most feasible. For the
purpose of ascertaining these facts fully and
truly, Capt Jack Chase, accompanied by
competent engineer, left last week to-
make the requisite examination. Capt.
Chase thinks the project entirely feasible,
and at a comparatively small outlay of
money.
We will state that we had converse ion
last week with Col. Donsmore, of Prairie
du Chen, who has years ago spent much
time upon the shores of Mile Lao while
trading with the Indians, and of course is
quite intimately acquainted with the to-
biography OF that region. He says ne has
not particle of doubt but what the pro-
posed project is entirely feasible, and 1t
carried out must f0reve'' render Sne COM
ing down of the logs annually certain.

ROUGH FIGHr1NG-SoLDEER STABBED
The ambulance in charge of the Provost Guard
was ordered out Friday mornin. last to convey
to the Fort certain men supposed to be sick
and belonging to the party of ex rebs that came
from Milwaukee yesterday. After the ambu.
lance had been filled with them a change of
drivers was made in front of the government
stables on Seventh street, and before the
horses were started on one of the sick men.
for some unexplained reason, got suddenly
angry at the new driver. and as suddenly
threw him out of his seat to the ground. and
then jumped down and commenced choking
and heating him. At this John Lotzenheiser,
who, as also the driver, is a private of the
Provost Guard ran out from the stable and
undertook to relieve his comrade. Capt.
Sprague, of the police, coming up, the driver
was rescued. and his antagonist was put into
the ambulance. In the meantime, George
Topping, one of the ex-rcbs, jumped from
the ambulance on the opposite side, and
running around in front of the horses, at
tackled Lotzenheiser and stabbed. him below
most unnoticcd by the crowd that had gather
ed, to his place in the ambulance. The fellow
who had attacked the driver, had but just been
forced into the ambulance again, when a cry
was raised that he had stabbed a man and Capt
Sprague thereupon arrested him and ordered
him to get down. Upon his refusal the Cap
tain seized him aud pulled him out, whereup-
on he clutched the Captain by the throat and,
being a heavy and powerful man, held fast
against all the efforts of Sprague, aided by
Lieut.. Blakely, who came to his assistance
At this moment Chief of Police Cleveland ar
rived on the spot and rescued Sprague. as our
informant says by straight out blow from
the shoulder at the prisoners head, but ac-
cording to other authority by choking the
fellow till he yielded. The prisoner then
quietly suffered himself to be taken to the cal
aboose. He will be tried this morning for as
sault and battery and for resisting the arrest.
The most singular part of the affair, as relat-
ed by those looking on, was that four armed
men Of the Provost Guard stood by without
trying to rescue their comrade or, afterwards
to assist the police. Perhaps they were wait
ing for orders.
Lotzenheiser, after being stabbed, walked
to Combs drug store, and was from there as
sisted TO DR.. Murphys Office. where his wound
was examined and dressed. 1t was found that
his wound was not dangerous, though it came
close to penetrating the bowels.
When it was learned that Topping was the
sent to the Fort, the ambulance having pro-
ceeded there. and arrested him. He was de-
tanned at the Provost Guard quarters last night
and will probably be turned over to the civil
authorities for trial.
