1868.
MAY IL, Battle of Jactson.-Gcneral Grant
captured Jackson, Miss; the States capitol was
burned. The rebel Congress threatened to
hang all commissioned officers of negro regi-

cuped Clinton, Miss.
1864.
MAY 1I.-On the 14th the rebel line at Spott.
sylvania was still further withdrawn, but oc-
cupiod very strong positions, well fortified.
There We're several skirmishes during the day,
but no general engagement. The troops under
General Butler at Bermuda Hundred, on the
James River, had several skirmishes with the
rebels, who were forced to retire within their
works. The fighting at Newmarket, in the
Shenandoah Valley, was resumed by the rebels,
and General Sigel was forced to wage an une-
quail battle. The Union forces were utterly
routed, and part of the troops were driven
from the field, many of the men throwing
down their arms. The enemy captured 1000
stand of small arms, six pieces of artillery, and
700 men. General Sigel's troops retreated after
the defeat to Cedar Creek. The result of this
movement led to the removal of General Sigel
from his command and the appointment OF
General Hunter in his place. The battle OF
Resaca, Georgia, between General Sherman's
army and the rebel forces under Johnston be.
gan this morning aud continued until dark
with heavy losses on both sides. Though the
days Sighting was not decisive, the Union
forces gained several important advantages
during the day.

in the House, q few days ago, as we have
already stated, and is now before the Com
mittee on Printing for its considera-
ton. Its paternity may be known from
the fact that The st. Louis tramp
land other places "too numerous
to mention " has sent printed
letter to members of Congress advoca-
ting its passage The proposition is to
turn over the immense Government print
ing establishment, worth more than three
fourths of a million of dollars, to this tramp,
or some one of his associates, without any
other consideration than an agreement to
execute the printing and binding at 10 per
cent. less than it cost in 1873. We suppose
this association Of tramps would agree to run
the Treasury, or any other Department of
the Government at the same reduction
and there would be the same propriety in
permitting them to do it. This corrupt
scheme will bear close watching.

Our readers will remember that, few
days previous to the adjournment of the
last session of the last Congress, an effort
was made in broad day light to steal the
Government Printing-Oilice by an amend
ment to an appropriation bill.
The proposed theft was exposed and, of
course, did not take place,
1t was supposed that no one could be
found with sufficient brazen-lhced impu-
dcnce to repeat the attempt, but 1t has been
done. A bill for that purpose was proposed

rational consistency, as follows:
The North has leisure to chew upon these
three propositions. First, that the election of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN justified secession sec.

Union third, that while it is the right and the
duty OF the South to be solid, the consolidation
OF the North will bring disunion. According

the revival of the memories of the deposit

SENATOR BRUCE, who was invited to at
tend the Mississippi Valley Labor Con-
vention, held at Vioksburg on the 9th
instant, addressed, in response, the letter
printed in The REPUBLICAN, Of Mon
day to Colonel w. l.. NUdENT, who
was subsequently made chairman of the
committee on resolutions. The Senator
has never sought to encourage his race to
emigrate from the South, but on the con-
trary, heartily deploring the exodus and the
condition of affairs which prompted its In
auguration and continues to give IL impetus,
has faithfully endeavored to find remedy
for the evil. While the causes prompting
the movement are complex and multiplied"
in his judgment the exodus is mainly refer
able to two considerations, which he stated:
First, the feelings of uneasiness and insecur'
ity among tho colored classes, springing from,
the unfortunate race collisions and violence
that have sometimes existed in certain South
ern localities; and second, from the fact that
the coored laborors have not in many instances
received satisfactory returns for the products
of their labor.
This concise and truthful exposition was,
it appears, unpalatable to the planters and
landlords in convention assembled, for they
ignored the Senator's patriotic letter and
declined to give his sensible suggestions the
slightest consideration. Indeed, the pro-
ceedings of the convention, as published In
the local press, do not show that his letter
was even read before that distinguished as
semblage, whose members, if they would,
might learn much wisdom from their repre-
sentative in the United States Senate.

THE Democratic managers seem to over
look the fact that in provoking "a veto they
give the Republican party the last word in
the controversy. There is no such thing as
an effective or widely-read reply to we'll
considered veto by the Chief Magistrate
Nine-tenths of the people read the veto
message because it is an unusual thing, un-
like Congressional debates, which are famil-
iarly frequent, and because it comes from
the head of the nation, while less than one
third of them take the trouble to read the
debates on either side which may have pre-
ceded it. This is what we mean when we
say that in the pending controversy between
Congress and the Executive the Republi-
cans have had the last and most effective
word.

THE New York Herald applies hot iron
to the hide of the Democracy, and bears it
against them with relentless severity. 1t
tells them of their fatuity, of their blind
hypocrisy in trumping up false issues, and
of the inevitable consequence of such a
course, and it does so withgreat plainncss of
speech. Then it gives the hot iron a twist
in this wise:
The defeat and humiliation which have
overtaken these INSCRIPTIONS agitators are
richly merited. They viii carry none of their
measures, and they dare not withhold the ap.
preparations. They began with "a virtual
threat to stop the supplies and cripple the Gov.
ernment II was an evident attempt to coerce
the President to sign their repeating egsla.
tion. They learn too late that it was an idle
and foolish menace.
