Memphis, Aug. 8


There is great activity in military cir
cles here, carrying out the new move
ments.
Reliable Information states that the reb-
ell General S. D. Lee has been relieved
from the command Of the Department of
Alabama, Mississippi and East Georgia,
and ordered to report at Atlanta. Ii is
supposed that he takes Hoods old COM
mand. Forrest charges the responsibility
Of the recent defeat, by A j. Smith, to
Lee and Dick Taylor, at Meridian, week
ago.
The report Of the death Of Forrest by
luckiaw is not credited, although bis wound
was sufficiently severe TO prevent him from
active service. Chalmers is now in com
mand Of his forces.
The rebel troops west of the Mississippi
river expected to CROSS the stream to rein
force Atlanta.
A gentleman who left Mobile July 81
gays:
Hood has been reinforced by two di-
visions from Beauregard's corps from
Richmond, and two brigades from Mo-
bila."
Charleston and Wilmington are said to
be nearly Invested of troops, and the gsrri
son at Mobile consists only of two brigades
of regulars and Mobile militia. So great
were the fears that Mobile would be at
tackled between the 9th and the 18th OIL

Violating the Declaration of
Independence.

The following order by Lincoln's Adolf
ton Governor of Louisiana shows the way
they Go things down that way:
"Whereas, Hon. Vim. W. Ha3dlin, Judge
Of the Sd district court oe New Orleans,
did ON the 18th inst. 10 a cause No. Il GAG
Of the docket of said court, render judg-
ment which 10 effect decides that the insti
tuition Of slavery still exists 10 the parish
and phereas. the said Judge, in the rendi
ton of bis Judgment, has, 10 disregard and
violation Of q constitutional duty and ime
bonored custom, neglected to refer to the
law or give reasons on which The judgment
is founded il is therefore ordered:
That the commission issued by the late
military Governor of louisiana on the Sd
Of November, 1863, to said VIM. W. Hands
lin, appoiuting him judge of the Sd district
court, be and the same is hereby revoked
and appulled, and that said Handlin be no
longer recognized as the judge OF said
court"
Now, who shall Say this is not free
and glorious epuptryH If Judge is so
contunelious as to eonstrue the constitu-
ton and laws to te paramount to a procla-
nation OF bis despotic highness, Abraham

of Louisiana. slavery still exists, notWith'
standing Lincoln has proclaimed it abol

Lincoln always said the validity Of his
proclamation is to be tested by the courts
The Judges are to decide freely and with
out fear in relation 10 it, but what if the.
decide adversely? Ask Hrndlin.
Let us, il this connection, cite from thu
Declaration of Independence some Of the
Uolouists' cause Of complaint against King
George III:
"He has INSTRUCTED the administration
Of justice.
HE has made Judges dependent upOn hi
LciH alone.
"He hes created multitude Of new
Offices.
He has kept among US in time CT peac

Our RepuIse B fore Peters.
burg.

The news from General Grants army
before Petersburg is dishesrteniDg. The
labor Of almost an entire month in con-
struOting q mine, and the thousands of
lives lost in the battle of the 3Oth ult +,
! have been rendered almost unavailable.
! The explosion of the mine took place in
! Burnside's front at five O'Clock in the
morning. 1t caused rent in the rebel
works about forty feet in length. into
which our troops rushed. Once Ghere the
rebels opened upon them with grape and
canister and musketry, converting the
breach made by the explosion of our mine
into perfect slaughter pen, in which our
men were compelled to remain for some
time. They finally succeeded in driving
the enemy about 100 yards when the me-
gro troops under Gen. White, were ordered
| in, to charge the next line of the enemy
and to save the fate of the day. Their Of
! fcers took the lead, aud. from the manner
in which they started, it was believed that
| they would easily accomplish the task
! On arriving at the first line, however, they
seemed to waVer and state, and finally
the great mass took position behind the
earthworks, and in the forts whore the
| other divisions were massed. They were
rallied and charge ordered, but when
they nearly reached the works of the ene-
my, the fire OF grape and canister and
muskctry amongst them caused them TO
break aud run, When :hey were shot down

tary men that more men fall while retreat.
ing from, than when dashing to, an en-
trenchment, as the death dealing bullets
are fred with greater rapidity and with
greater precision. The loss Of the negro
division was about 1000, and the fatality
among the white officers was terrible, al
most annihilating them. This charge aud
failure Of the negro troops shows the
marked inferiOrity of the colored to the
white race in crises that demand the ut
most courage and bravery.
Though the battle hadS become general,
the repulss of the negro troops decided
the fortunes of the day against US. After
some terrible fighting our troops were
ordered TO retire within their original
| lines.
General Grants loss 10 the unfortunate
affair, 10 killed and wounded and prison'
ers, is put down at 5000. The rebel loss
was, doubtless, far below this, as they
fought behind their entertainments.
Some of the Abolition papers are de.
nouncing Gen. GRAFT for the management
of this affair. Perhaps be may be tc
blame, but we shall require stronger evil
dence than that of the New York Iribun,
or any other of is satellites to convince u
that Gen. Grant has acted any other par
than that Of SAT Acious and brave com
mander; but it must be remembered tina
be is fighting against men who have beer
maddened to desperation by the abolition
policies of the Administration.

commandments, and Soldiers.

The soldiers are beginning to fnd out
that their true friends, after all, are Demo-
crats. They are taught in the army that
the Democrats, or "Copperheads" as they
are stigmatized by tho Office holders and
Abolitionists, are all a pack Of disloy-
alists; and that they hate the men who
are fighting for the old flag. No sooner 90
they reach home, however, than they dis
cover the absurdity and untruthfulhess Of
the stories about Democrats.
The truth is, the Democrats are ready to
do moro for the men who have fought for
their country, than the miserable hypo-
critics who are continually Boosting how
much they do and charging that the Cop
perheads" are traitors If soldier expects
to find sympathy and friendship, he must
look to men Of liberal views and not to
those fanaticsl puritans who contend that
negroes make better citizens and drawer
soldiers than white men on 40 average.
AS an evidence Of the generosity Of Dem
ocrats towards those who have fought our
| battles, We will refer to INCIDENTS which
recently come under cur tWn oil seIvation:
| When the noble and heroic Crl. Bartleson
returned to this city last Spring from the
| South, where he bad been held prisoner
! for nearly year, though Republican,
the splendid welcome extended to him by
this Democratic city will be remembered.
Before his departure to the front to take
command of his regiment again, S X.
Casey. w. S Brooks, Mayor Porter, G. L
Boyer, Morris Einstein, Samuel Buckmas-
ter, George Burr and Washington Akers,
all prominent Democrats, presented the &C
comIlisbed lady Of the Colonel with bis
life-size portrait which had been painted
by one Of the most eminent artists Of the
day, in handsome and costly style
This evidence of appreciation fora pure
life and brave deeds was duly ackDOwl'
edged 10 private at the time. And were i
not now that the gallant Bartleson fills the
grave of patriot and hero, we should no
have made the matter public. If it haC
not been for "Copperheads" no life>lik
portrait of that heroic officer would hav
been preserved to be admired by those VIII,
love the noble and brave.

T5is accursed war has lasted over three
wears. and never, since it's commencement,
has our cause seemed go gloomy as now.
Our armies everywhere have met with
the most strenuous resistance, and 10 not
few places, the result has been disastrous.
The terrible defeat of General Hunter
and General Crook, aud the slaughter Of the
brave men under their command seemed
to Inaugurate our reverses.
The three months fighting Of the army
of the West, under General Sherman, has
only been fruitful of long lists Of killed
and wounded. The brave boys Of our
Western prairies have fought like tigers
and thousands Of them have fallen sacri-
! fees in the conflict, but the campaign it is
| feared will be failure and that the enemy
will still retain their possession Of Atlanta,
which it was hoped would have fallen into
cur hands n.y. ago.
General Grants army has done little
better. 1t fought its way, inch by inch,
from the Potomac, through the Wilder
ness Of LlIod and down to The works in
front of Petersburg, but can advance DC
further. And our attack and disastrou;
repuise on last Saturday week c6n lead tx
no other conclusion than that the prospect
Of capturing the rebel capital will have tt
be abandoned. The noble. Grant and hi,
brave men have wGded knee'deep in blood
as it were, through long aud perilOut
marches, determined that Richmond should
DO ours, and to give up now will be hu
initiating in the extreme. It is indeed
mOurnful thought that two hundred thou
sand precious lives have been sacrificed il
vain, in the effort to possess ourselves o
the rebel capital. Is II worth so vast
sacrifice
In the meantime, the rebels, initiating
our example, have determined upon of
fensive operations. And these have com.
menced on large scale. Already Mary
land, Kentucky, Missouri and Pennsylva
MIA, have been invaded and millions o
property destroyed. Aud the end is no
yet. Our own seat of Government is il
imminent danger. while the country Dor
dering the Southern States will be devas
tated should Lincola and bis cabinet con
tinue their miserable and ruinous war POI
icy.
Our country. is in deplorable condition
We do not care to speculate on the future
but we give it as our opinion, if Abraham
Lincoln be re elected President of tn
United States, ere bis term of Office sha
= expire we shall be wiped from the list
