lee Claims a Victory sn south
Carolina, by Hampton Over
Fitzpatrick.

The following from Gen Grant To Stanton,
contains Gen. Lees official report of a fight
between Hampton and Fitzpatrick, 1t states
no place for the fight, but the Richmond pa
per from which it is taken, inadvertently in the
last line, names South Cdrolina, showing that
on the 10th, the day the battle was fought,
Sherman was still in that State.
Cry PoINT, VIRGSIA, March l3.
Hon. L NJ Stanton Secretary of War:
The following items are taken from to-day
Richmond papers:
We have some good news this morning
news OF n victory in South Carolina. 1t ia
announced in the following official dispatch
from General Lee, Though the dispatch is
rather scanty in its particulars, enough is
given TO show that fitzpatrick was badly
worsted:
HEADQUARTERS, &c, March 10.
"Hon. j c. Breckinridge, Secretary of War
General Hampton attacked General Xii
patrick, at daylight this morning, and drove
him from his camp, taking his guns and wag
ons, many pieces, aud several hundred prs-
oners, including great number of our own
men who had been captured The guns and
wagons could not be brought off for want of
horses.
"Many Of the enemy we're killed and wouu-

1t will be observed that the locality Of the
fight is not named in the dispatch This is
for prudential reasons. Sherman has no
communication with the North, and il would
be imprudent to publish where he was, as it
would be giving news 10 Grant Of his pro-
gress
Matters are beginning to look decidedly bet
ter for us in the South. In the last three
days we have had news of two victories !; one
in North Carolina, and one in South Carroll

The Republican press is savage on An
dy Johnson-not for getting drunk, bu
for letting people see him in that condi
ton. TO prove this, we refer to the Gin
cinnati Gazette, which says that It knew
when johnson was in Cincinnati. ON hii
way to Washington, that he was intoxi
Gated; yet, as he kept his condition pri'
vaie, it had no language for him save thai
of dattery. But now, since he was so in.
discreet as to get drunk in public, the Ga
zctte visits ponhim a large measure Of
that ferocious abuse, of which its resourc.
es are botmdless. The "cohntry is humil-
lated" the Republican press assures us
and il howls and takes on about il terri
bly,. The delicate moral lisense which dis
tinguishes the tribe of Republican editors,
has received painful shock. 1t endured
the butcheries at fredericksburg and vi
enna, without any perceptible paroxysm.

Butler, or Turchin, or Mcneil The mur.
derer of that poor man who was shot for
drawing bucket of water from his own
well, is protege of the same men who
can find no language Of inveetve too Bit
fer for the unlucky Vice President. We
are no defender OF the vice of intemper-
ance; but we venture to say this much for
Andy Johnson--that if he shall do no
worse than getting drunk, though he get
drunk every day, he will have infinitely
less to answer for, to God and to posterity,
than nine-tenths of the men whom his
party has invested with authority.
But, these same editors insist that his
speech was such as to bring disgrace on
the Administration and the country. This
may be true. But why make an example
of poor johnson, for an offense of which
Mr.. Lincoln has been great number Of
times, and far more signally, guilty? AS
a whole, this effort of johnson is superior
to any speech that Lincoln has made. since
he started on his journey from Springfield
to Washington Much Of twill, perhaps,
be pronounced in bad taste by the major
ity of readers. But we must recollect that
taste cannot be subjected to any ca
mons. 1t is, something that cannot be de-
fined or described; it is thing of which
every man is allowed to form his own
conception. Proverbially, it is not to be
disputed, A man is not to be condemned.

We think there is something behind all
this. The Republicans, for some reason,
desire to destroy the "plebeian" Vice Pres.
ident If not, they would have lied him
safely end soberly out of inauguration day.
They have performed great many feats,
much more marvellous, in this identical
line, 1t occurs to us that they may en-
tertain an old grudge against the man.
who, when the war first began, pronounc-
ed Abolition quite as much in fault as Sc

and it is quite likely that this is the real
cause of the merciless and brutal abuse
which he is now receiving from the Aboll-

BURNING WATER A cotcmporary says
that 1.-THE Now York Association for the adj
vancemcnt of scicn &C arc disc ussing the prac-
ticability of burning water. We hope they
will establish the fact that it can be DONE
What collapse there would be among the
SPECTATORS in coal The fact that it can be
done has long since been established. What
remains is only question, as we suppose of
economy of manufacture. Water being COM
posed of hydrogen and oxygen, an electrical
current decomposes it into those two gases.
If they be collected in separate tubes, and
these at a certain point united and match
applied, the greatest artificial heat known re-
suits from the combination. An enormous
heat is contained in pint Of water if there
were but a cheap way to develop it. But it
will doubtless be done ere many years.
