A FAMOUS FIGHTER.

Governor Alvin p. Hovey, of Indiana,
who died yesterday, was an able lawyer
and upright citizen. He will live longest
in history because General Grant gives him
the credit of the victory of Champion Hill,
the critical engagement of the Vicksburg
campaign.
Grant crossed the Mississippi and landed
his troops at Bruinsburg April 30th, 1868;
May LIST, he beat the enemy at Port Glib
son, and on the Sd halted at Grand
Gulf to wait the arrival of General Sher-
man with the Fifteenth corps. Sherman
arrived on the 9th of May. By the 18th
the trains had brought up weeks sup
plies and Grant with a. 600 started TO beat
an enemy $1,000 strong, distributed between
Vicksburg and Jackson, which was on the
railroad 50 miles east Pemberton was at
Vicksburg with the bulk of his army when
Grant crossed on the 30th of April Joe
Johnston ordered Pemberton to move at
once on Grant with his whole force and
give battle, while he, Johnston, gathered
mp reiuforcements at Jackson. Pember-
ton hesitated and was lost, for Grant
moved forward on the nth, threw himself
between Pemberton, moving tardily from
Vicksburg, and Johnston, who held Jack
son. On the 10Th Mcpherson beat the en-
envy at Raymond; on the 18th Johnston
was beaten and driven ont of Jackson
Having delivered this effective blow
with his right hand at Johnston, Grant
instantly turned on his heel and rushed
on Pernberton, whom he found on the 10th
holding a strong position at Bakers Creek
with about $1,000 men. Champion Hill
was the key of this position. Under the
personal direction of Grant, General Hoyey
with his division of the Thirteenth army
corps assaulted this position three times
before he succeeded in holding it. Owing
TO the failure of General McClernand TO
put the rest of the Thirteenth
army corps into action, General
Hovey had no support IN his assault
save from Logans and Crocker's divis-
ions OF the Seventeenth army corps. The
severity of the fighting is attested by the
losses. which were nearly 5000 killed and
wounded out Of $4,000 men engaged of
Grants army. Had Grant been repulsed
or seriously checked he would have been
ruined but the victory at Cham
pion Hill sealed the fate of the
campaign. The next day, the 18th.
Pemberton was beaten again at the Big
Black, aud by the i9th Grant had reached
Vicksburg and secured q water base for
supplies and reiniorcements. To Logan.
Croeker and Aovey, Grant gave the credit
of his success in this critical campaign;
and TO Hoyey the credit of the critical
battle of the campaign.
Hovey, like Logan, Crocker and John f.
Smith, was born soldier; without mill
tary education these men ali learned the
art OF war SO rapidly thar Grant considered
them equal 10 any command in this
campaign; their native genius made up TO
them with experience for their lack Of
technical education.

supports it, and he knows that If there
was no public opinion behind the
Hqnor traffic save that which stands for
drunkards and the immoral forces of soci.
ety. the liquor traffic would have small
vitality. Mr.. Murphy sees that a traffic
which bids successful defiance to ali the
legitimate and varied spiritual forces ar
,ayed against it, cannot be extIrpated by
Jaw or hounded TO death by a proelama-
uoh Oh prohibition. The prohibition Mrs
harrington can never soak up the ocean of
ihis vast traffic with her legal mop. 1t is
easy 70 compare statutes to scalpels or hot
irons, ETC., but in point of fact statutes are
never scaipeis or hot irons. Statutes provide
Pehaitles, and penalties are indicted when
puoiic opinion is earnestly, aggressively
ana overwhelmingly behind the statutes.
but whether public opinion is behind it or
not the statute is never scalpel or the
not iron of cautery for an ulcer Evils like
the drink habit, that the stoIid. merciless
absolute despotism of the Chinaman, the
Turk and the Russian have in vain tried
10 cut out or burn out surely cannot be
cut ont or cauterized by statute under a
Tree government where the people make
and unmake by ballot their own laws.
Mr. Murphy sees that to the application of
the moral and spiritual forces of educa-
ton, religion and science. backed by the
appeal to enlightened self-interest, We can
add nothing by law to make men manly,
honest, patriotic, pure, industrious, honor
able, prudent, sober and self-supporting.
The drunkard, who is deaf to the appeal
OF affection, home, wife, child, parents,
school, religion, science. self-respect, self
interest; who is so selfish, so silly, so weak,
or so morally and physically diseased that
neither the education of moral force, nor
the education of self-interest can keep him
sober, belongs in prison or in hospital
for inebriates If he proves ncorrigible I'M
der the discipline and restraint of the PEN
itentiary.
OF the incapacity of legislation to oblit-
crate intemperance, Mr.. Murphy once said
that if Legislation could have saved the
world Moses would have made the mission
of Christ unnecessary" The methods
of Christ. the teacher, the con-
soler, the exhorter, the exemplar,
the helper; not the methods of Moses,
the law giver, are our chief reliance in ed
ucating the world above intemperance.
For this reason Francis Murphy's work
here for temperance is better than stat
ute book full of prohibitory liquor laws.
Every signature that Murphy has secured
that stands for really reformed man is
downright blow at the saloon such as no
statute can deliver with equal effective
ness.

The late James Russell Lowell. the poet.
displayed In marked degree a tendency
10 outrage the truth by wantonIy depre-
eating the social and political virtue of
his own time. In one Of his latest poems
he charges that swindlers are universally
permitted TO resign from public stations
they have degraded; their crime treated
with respect. and in their designations
have the sympathy of nineteen-twentieths
OF the community. In this poem Mr..
lowell has the following lines:

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
For week ending Nov. IA.
Bulletin No. 35.

Bulletin NO. 90.
There has been an excess OF temperature and
normal sunshine during the week lust closed.
The rains of last Sunday and Monday, followed
in the northern parishes by decided but un-
injurious fall of temperature, were general
throughout the State and i'll some localities ex-
cessive.
Cotton picking was slightly interrupted but
has again been resumed and is now SO near
completion. that even if bad weather should
come, its effect would be almost inapprecable
upon the final result.
The rain was of incalculable benefit to the
sugar interests, as grinding had been in some
instances entirely suspended for lack OF water
to operate machinery with. Many planters
had winrOwed their cane for next years plant,
and feared that it would not keep unless rain
fell upon it. The grinding has now become
general aud yield is turning out very satisfac-
torily.
Fall ploughing and farming operations of all
kinds have been resumed with yigor and the
next season is in every respect encouraging.
