THE WAR NEWS.


The news from Sherman (sHys the
Cincinnati Commercial of yesterday, )
ismore explicit. Tho latest accounts
ol The fighting at Bentonvillc show
that sherman was the attacking par.
ty The Goth Corps was first at work,
and, we are told, suffered a check
The 1lth Corps soon came up and was
engaged The 18th Corps followed,
and was thrown in on the left, when
itturned the rebel right, and there
upon the rebels withdrew from tho
fight and fell back on Snithfeld,
which they also evacuated as Sherman
advanced upon it the next day. Our
forces occupied Smithfeld on the 2lst.
Johnston retreatfd in the direction OF
Raleigh. There arc indications that
the rebel General Johnson had made
Up his mind TO fight decisive battle,
to prevent the junction of Sherman
aad Schofcld, and commenced to car
ry out his design, but before two.
thirds Of Sherman's army became fair
ly engaged, he concluded to permit the
junction.
With reference to the operations of
Grant, the rebel works carried by the
"a and 9Th Corps are still in our hands.
and have been so strengthened that
the enemy will hardly attempt to re-
possess them. Lees attack was inten-
d1d to make Grants position south Of
the James untenable. Had he been
able to hold Fort Steedman and con
tiguous works he would lnyo com
manded Grants railroad, and compel
led the evacuation OF the works across
tue Weldon Road and south of Peters
burg.
President Lincoln, in company with
Generals Grant and Meade, witnessed
the battle, on Saturday, from point
just outside shell range
General Schofeld, Mt last adviccs,
was at Goldsboro The railroad from

New York, March 26.--The steam

In the British Parliament, Mr.. Fitz

Wis report on the Canadian defenscs
llo disclaimcd any intention of Mt
tributing to the Fcderals, or to The
people generally, spirit of hostility
toward England. We should not how
ever, disregard certain proposal dur
ing the conference between the Con
fedcratcs and Fedcrals. 1t was i'm
portant to look to tho Canadian de-
fcnses in the event of war, and We
ought to como to an immediate under
standing with Canada as to the pro
portion England should bear of tho
costs of its defense.
Mr. Foster believed that tho fear ol
hostilitics was unreasonable and utter.
ly groundlcss, and protested against
expense for the defense Of Canada
Mr.. Cardwell assured the House that
our relations with America continued
perfectly friendly, but Government
was prepared to defend Canada.
Mr.. DIsracli thought Canada should
be properly defended.
Mr.. Lowe said the most ciIcctual
course, in the event of Canada bocom-
ing q battle-ground, would be to con-
ccntratc n force upon some other point,
We had better let Canada know the
truth, and not buoy her up with false
expectations, while wo provoked Amo-
rica with a standing menace. The
wiscst course would be to withdraw all
troops Mt once.
Mr.. Watkins said to prevent war,
England SHOULD declare Canada part
of tho British empire,
Mr.. Bright said the root OF tho mis-,
understanding was feeling OF jealousy
entertained by England toward THO
American nation. Every ono knew
England could not hold Canada in
case of war, What would England
have said if she had suffered as tho
Americans have from the Alabama
Lord Palmcwtoa denied that Eng
land was jealous, and believed there
was good feeling towards England
among the great bulk Of Americans
No doubt both tho North and South
have some feeling for our non. .espousal
OF their cause, but this was no reason
why wo should not place Canada in a
state of defense. Lord Palmorston
could not agree with Mr.. Lowe. 1t
was not the intention of tho Govern
mont TO follow his advice. The rela-
tons between England and America
woro perfectly friendly.

In another column wo give brief
biographical sketch of this gentleman,
now VicePresident ofthe United States.
A reminder that he is no inconsidera-
BILE specimen of man, we consider not
out Of place just at this time. Our
columns have contained no reference
to certain scenes alleged to have charac
terized his inauguration-and we con-
sider the spirit in which they have
bcen commented on generally by the
press and its correspondents, more dis
graceful than the mis-stop which has
called forth their .self-rightcous ami
madversions. When quill-drivers
are themselves quite beyond the weak
nesscs and lrailties of human nature, it
will be soon enough for them to un-
dertake to destroy reputation with u
stroke ofthe pen,or by drop of ink to
blot out all hope of regeneration or re-
demption on the part Of one who in the
main has borne himself worthily, not
withstanding a lapse from duty, under
peculiar circumstances, may have oc.
Cured.
SETThe foregoing paragraph, and
tho biographical sketch to which it re
ters, were put in type for last week S
paper, previous to the receipt of the
letter from the Editor, published in
that issue. The statement that our
columns have contained no re-
ference to scenes alleged to have oc.
CURED at the Vice Presidential ina ug-
uration" will not, of course, hold good
at this time, the Editor having madc
some comments on the subject in his
letter. These were, however. not in
the spirit which wo deprecated, but
were in fact, in rebukc OF that spirit,
and as such, were timely. We regret
to perceive that many Union papers
still evince a disposition to harp on
the subject, and keep prominently be-
fro the people the d1roliction they so
vchcmcntIy dcnouncc. Tho sooner tho
matter is dropped, in our opinion, the
better for all concerned. ,.

Hon. EDWIN NJ. STANTON Sec. of War:
SIR:-ln your letter of the 1th of March, you asl;

Act to amend the several Acts heretofore passed to
provide for the enrolling and calling out the Natona
March, 1895, the Provost Marshal General is reoni.
red 70 change the present quotas in the pending
drait by reason Of corrections in the enrolment
made since thcirassignment.
In the 18th section of the Act, ii is enacted "That
where any revised enrolment in any Congress siona
or draft district has been Obtained or made prior to
amy actual drawing Of names from the enrolment
lists, the quota of such district may be adjusted and
apportioned to such revised enrolment, instead OF
being applied to or based upon the enrolment, as il
may have stood before the revision. II will be per-
ccived that the language of this section is in tho past
tense, and properly so, though referring to future and
existing enrolments An enrolment must ever pre-
cede amy action under the section 1t was therefore
right 10 speak Of the enrolment past fact, as
something That had been done. Regarding the Sec
on by itself, and unaffected by other clauses in
the statute, It applies as well to any future as to an
existing enrolment.
But, at the time ofthe enactment, there was an en-
rollment and pending dratt under call for add.
tonal troops, and this appears from the provisos OF
10Th section that the rule Of credits fixed therein
shal not apply to the pending call and in the eth
section il ii "proyidcd" That nothing herein con.
tanned shall operate to postpone the pcndngdra or
interfere with the quotas assigned therefor.
Neither Of these provisos can be regarded M repug.
nant TO the 18th section. They do nothing more
than prevent construction Of the Act that would
change the rule ofcredtS as 10 the pending draft or
that would postpone il, or that would interfere with
the quotas assigned therefor. Indeed, Congress- has
hylmpicaton, declared that the quotas assigned for
the present pending drai; shall not bc nterfcrcd
with. This could have been done in the enacting
parts Of the statute, but may be as well and aptly
done 10y provso.
Now if the corrections provided for in the 18Th
Section are made to apply to the present draft the
gnotasas assigned therefor, will he intcrfcred with
This IL what Congress has said shall not be done -
After the tcnding draft, the provsos will have pcr-
formed their office, and all future drafts must be
made suljcctto the rules prescribed in the Act. |
am therefore of the opinion that the Provost Marshal
in the pending draft by reason of corrections in the
enrollment made since thcirHssignmcnt

Our special dispatches this morning
furnish very full and interesting de-
tails from Richmond papers of Friday.
1t will be inferred from the appeals on
the subject of negro enlistmonts that
tho movement is neither popular nor
successful. Masters are opposed to
giving up their slaves, and Sambo is
not anxious to enlist, The circular of
the Secretary of tho Treasury, calling
for q loan of S3,OOO,OOO in specie, in
forms tho banks if they do not take
tho loan they will be taxed 25 per cent
payable in kind, while if they do take
it cotton will be TUNED over to them
at fifteen cents per pound, with the
privilege of exporting it. Tho cotton
will bo delivered in Mississippi, Ala.
bama, or in any of tho cotton States.
Our Government will be so anxious to
get this cotton, we presume, the rebel
bankers will be allowed to send it out.
General Grant has fortunately stop.
pod this business on the scacoast, but
it has not been stopped on tho Missis.
sippi. This movement at Richmond
shows how shipments of cotton aid tho
rebel cause by securing money that
will buy food for rebel soldiers. The
man should be hung that allows a bale
of cotton or anything else to be bought
of tho rebels. Tho enemy has food
enough in the South if they can secure
tho money to pay for it, and now they
show us how thoy propose to get tho
money. Wo might as well send bacon
TO Richmond as suffer trade of any
kind with insurrectionary DISTRICTS
General Grant hit the nail on the head
when he issued his prohibitory order
on the coast; but tho work is only half
done, unless he extends that order
over tho southwest, The man is no
