■WEDITEBDAT, JtiXE Si,- 1808.
TB*=KE'’S-
The news from Vickslmrg continues an
CTCn and quiet flow of genfly assuring dls
imtclieg, -wliich certainly promise well
General Grant’s industiy has been im-
Jnense since his splendid -victories put him
immediately in the rear of his foe. His
.jiosition is claimed to be impregnable in
the rear. In front, he says himself; he
"has 18,000 prisoners, who are temporarily
hoarding themselves.” TVe dhall he en-
tirely willing, however, to see Gen. Grant
-assume the part' of hoarding them. Ac
counts xelative to Jo Johnston arc con-
dieting, but do not point to any immediate
prospect of bis attacking Grant, and still
less to a prospect of Ins success In that
line. It will be a good rule for our read-
ers, however, in the face ot all that pre-
Sente itself in Mississippi, to keep up a
moderate anxiety in behalf ol Grant, it is
iso easily disposed of in case he succeeds,
is an excellent safeguard against any
sudden shock of bad tidings. - ■
The news from Pennsylvania and Vir
ginia is still a muddle, where it is not a
Gen. Hooker was in Washington
.yesterday, and returned to bis camp last
'might. There is no further light thrown
on the situation. The Pennsylvanians
Were in the midst of another scare yester
day, and this time it was 'Pittsburgh that
was to be destroyed. The inhabitants of
that smoky city have fallen at work dig
ging like moles, and the hills round about
.their many chimneyed town already bustle
With preparation and will soon bristle
With cannon. The rebel cavalry who ven
ture up the Monongahela with an idea of
taking Pittsburgh by surprise, will return
tihom of that idea, even if they return at
nil.
“ John,” said a careful father, w what are ,
you doing?” “Nothing,” answered the 1
lad. “And, Jim,” what are you doing?” .
Pm helping John,” was the reply. The ,
jtbels are howling at Bragg for doing no- :
thing. It illy becomes loyal men to growl ’
at Kosecrans, who Is certainly helping ■
JSrcgg. The presence and high state ot '
readiness of our noble Murfreesboro army *
Is holding Bragg idle with an immense
rebel army, and keeping them from co
operation with Johnston against Grant.
If the latter succeeds, then will be Hose
crane* time for a blow at Bragg. In' the
event of a mishap at Vicksburg, Hosccrans
is far enough south, and his army should
l>c fresh and ready for any emergency that
the new crisis may present. Hosecrans is
helping Bragg do nothing most effectually,
and cannot just now be better employed.
The Kentucky scare has seen the bottom
fall out again. John Morgan has led his
horse thieves back across the Cumberland.
An enrolling officer in Lawrence County,
in this State bordering on Southern Indi
ana, reports a startling aspect of affairs in
Orleans just over the line of the latter State,
both from the presence of rebels and exist
ence of rebel sympathizers. The thing
will be attended to promptly by the au
thorities. These rebel raids may be of
good service after all, on the principle of
an eye stone, that, travelling round under
the eyelid, collects upon itself foreign and
pernicious bodies. Let a few rebel squads
drop in upon the border tiers of counties,
smd give our Copperheads a chance to be
tray their affinities, and then we can clear
both styles of rebels out altogether.
One of the most brilliant and decisive
naval affaire of the war is chronicled in
full elsewhere. It was previouriy reported
Ihat the famous Savannah rebel ram At
lanta had been captured by one of our
vessels. It proves to have been the Wee
bawken Monitor that was too much for
the rebel iron-clad, formerly the steamer
Kingab It is the first decisive victory of
iron-clad over iron-clad. The rebels have
net been happy in their ram speculations,
and the encouragement is very poor for
them to return to that kind of mutton. The
official dispatches of Admirals Dupont and
Lee are given elsewhere.
The question of Emancipation in Mis
souri has been wrought into a tangible
form in the State Convention, now in
session at Jefferson City, and the people
ore to vote upon it. "We give elsewhere the
two proposed schemes, one-comprising a
plan for Emancipation in 1876, and the
other for liberation at once, and appren
ticeship afterward for the period until the
year above named.
. An important glimpse into the secret
histoiy of the rebellion is referred to in
our . special Washington dispatch. The
yote for secession in the Virginia State
Convention stood 88 for, to 55 against,
with one excused from voting, and eight
absent. And yet this result was smothered*
and the people made to believe the vote
was unanimous. The Infamies enacted by
Ihc wretches who dragooned Unionism to
death in the South, cannot be forever hid
from the light When they stand revealed
‘ they will lend an even darker shade to
Ihis atrosious assault upon the life of the
I Government.
It will be everywhere sadly received, the
intelligence that the country is likely to
lose finally the services of Bear Admiral
Toote, even should he recover his physical
iealth. "Wc trust that the fears of his phy
sicians may be disappointed, and this ■
noble officer be restored in the full vigor of
Iris intellect to the work of crushing the
rebellion.
The Copperhead fund raised at the re
cent great treason shrieking pow-wow at
Springfield, forthe relief ofthe soldiers,has
not yet seen the light of day, the gentle
men who pledged their several counties in
sums ranging from SIOO to SSOO, not hav
ing yet redeemed their pledges, winch oi
course were only spouted for effect'
The dispatches announce that Gen. Ord
has relieved Gen. from the
command of the 13th corps in Grant’s
army, and that the latter officer reached
Cairo yesterday, on bis way to "Washington.
The event is not unexpected, when recent
rumors from our Vicksburg army are
considered, Gen. McClemand has too
many friends not to entitle him to a full
and careful investigation of the causes of
Lis removal, and yet these friends, and the
.m-allant officer himself, are too careful for
Sie good of the cause all have at heart,not
to desire that the hearing may in the least
possible degree prejudice the interests of
the service, in its progress, and fully re
dound to the benefit of the cause in its re
sult.

TITS BECHET JIISTOBT OF THE REBELLION.
• Among the papers of a deceased Alexandria
lawyer, a partner of the delegate from Alex
andria to the State Convention that passed
the Virginia ordnance of secession, has just
been found a statement of the ayes and nays
on the final vote for secession. This vote, it
will be remembered, was always kept quiet
under the obligation oi an oath, and was al
ways represented, that, with tha exception
of a lew Western Virginia fanatics, it was
nearly unanimous for secession. . .According
to this table, which is certified os correct in a
footnote signed by the Alexandria delegate,
the vote stood 68 for secession to 55 against;
.1. excused from voting, and 8 absent.

Admiral Dapont sent the Weehawken,
Capt Rodgers, and the Nahant down to War

On Juno 17th, at 0 a. m., the Atlanta came
down, accompanied by two gunboats.
The engagement was exclusively between
the Weehawken and Atlanta. The latter
mounted four Brooke rifles, two of seven
inch, on bow and stem pivots, and two of
six-inch, one on each side. She could fight
two of the former and one of the latter on a
side.
Capt. Rodgers engaged her at dose quar-
ters. The first 15-inch shot by himself took
off tbe top of the Atlanta’s pilot house, and
wounded two of her pilots. Another 15-inch
shot struck half way up her roo£ which was
iron-plated four inches thick, killing one and
wounding seventeen men. •
Eleven shots were fired in all—five by the
Weehawken and six by the Atlanta. The lat
ter ran aground and surrendered.

THE ATZAETA TIU FINOAI*.
It Trouldappcar that the descent ol the reb
el iron-clad from Savannah iras not unexpect
ed, and Admiral Dnpont took the necessary
precaution to secure the rebel when she
should make her appearance, and at once dis
patched the Monitor batteries Weehawten
and Montank to perform the service.
The object of the raid was undoubtedly to
capture Fort Seymour, located on Ossabaw
Island, and garrisoned by the 47th New York
Slate Volunteers, and in the event of doing
.so, should she bo closely pursued by the
Union iron-dads, she could seek shelter above
Fort McAllister until an opportunity present
ed itself tor her to again get out and return to
Savannah.
The Atlanta was formerly the Clyde-built
steamer Fiegal, and was employed in the West
Highland trade, and was purchased in Glas
gow, for a blockade runner, in 1801. She left
that port bonnd for a rebel port, having on
board two hundred pieces of artillery, eight
thousand five hundred Enfield rifles, twenty
thousand annypistols t fifteen thousand sabres,
one hundred thousand blankets, sixty-five
thousand army shoes, two million percussion
caps, two tons of gunpowder, a lot of quinine
and other articles then much needed by the
rebels. She arrived safely at Savannah in the
spring of 1802, and, finding that she could not
get to sea again without great risk of being
captured, it was decided to convert her into a
vcsscl-of-war, ■"
Many months were occupied In calling her
down and putting her into a shape not unlike
the Merrimac, and in covering her with what
was believed to be an impregnable armor,and,
providing her with ahngebeak or ram,which
the rebels said would sink any vessel she came
in contact with.
On the’SUt of July, 1803,.5 he made he r
debut, and came within the range of the gloss
es of Fort Fulaski, but did not allow herself
to be put under the test of the guns of the
fort. A few days later she returned to Savan
nah, and it was understood that she was a fail
ure, being top-heavy, drawing too much water
and leaking very badly. Whether there was
any troth in these reports on not, she never
uas seen afterwards in" the vicinity of the
fort.
The next we heard oi her was in the Utter
part of last winter, when she was reported to
he ready to aid the Nashville in getting out
to sea from the Ogccchce River. Nothing,
however, hut her smoke stack was ever seen,
although the Montauk and Passaic were on
the lookout for her for over two months.
She is an iron steamer, and those who had
seen her at different times say that she is a
formidable craft.
By this capture the rebels have lost one’of
the three iron-clada attached to the defences
of Savannah—the remaining ones being the
Georgia (aground and immovable) and anoth
er In process of construction and not yet
named. ’

CHICAGO,WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21. 1863.
there were a great many at SheibjviUe. The
rebels occupy in force the line of operations
from Columbia to McMinnville, and will
doubtless contest any attempt of Gen. Rose
crans to advance, with great vigor and deter
mination.
On the Shelbyvllle road and on the Man
chester rood the 3d Georgia cavalry is sta
tioned, not more than eight miles from Mur
freesboro. Two miles farther on is &n entire
rebel brigade
At Hoover’s Gap the rebels are in force and
would doubtless offer strong resistance to a
force advancing on the Manchester road,
CoL Webb of the 61st Alabama, holds the
.post of honor on the Bhelbyville road, and
would bo the first assailed by our- advance.
An entire rebel brigade lies this side ofGay’s
Gap, and at the Gap itself arc two additional
brigades.
If Hoover’s and Gay’s Gaps were in onr
possession, wc could easily assail Shelbyrille
by cither a front or a flank movement. . No
doubt we shall meet with considerable diffi
culty in occupying these two positions.

tagstaiement:
On Saturday evening at a quarter past nine
o’clock, when we were thirty-five miles south
of Nantucket, we descried a large ship on fire,
supposed to be another victim to the rebel
privateers cruising on our immediate coast.
The extent ot the flames indicated that the
ship would be a total lose.

Turner* Co., of this cUy, hare received a
letter from St. Croix, which states that on the
80th ult. their brig George, Captain Perkins,
was chased and fired into by a hermaphrodite
brig. When withiu a few miles of the George
the privateer fired two guns, bat the George
refuted-to obey the signal and crowded on

There was 'sharp work in front of General
Logan yesterday. The rebels attempted to
mount a heavy gun there, but through the
efficiency of our artillery they failed to do so.
A number ol bur own men were injured by
the premature. explosion of the shells they
were ‘handling. From the infamous 'manner
which contract shells, operate they are often
as dangerous to friend as to-foo.

Grant is perfectly secure in his position.
Heavy batteries arc being placed in position
to rake the enemy’s works.
Tbe rebels still. hol(J out in tbe hope that
Johnston will come to their assistance with
sufficient force to raise the selgo.
These hopes are certainly delusive* John*
Eton’s numbers arc not sufficiently strong to
attack, nor can the rebels reinforce him soon
enough to play any other than a secondary
part. • '
Parties arriving In this city fromlhe South

The excitement produced by a dispatch
originated in Washington, stating that Major
Bcasel hod received intelligence from Fayette

vancing along the National Rood in heavy
force to invade Western Pennsylvania, was
from the first known here to he groundless.
The rebels bad not up to that time, and have

from that place, they were driven back by
Gen. Kelly several days ago, and if they have

Tub Bouton’s Batteuv Money .—Our read
ers will remember the alleged embezzlement
or retention of funds intended for the fam
ilies of the members of Bolton’s battery, in
which Hugh Maher, Esq., was erroneously
implicated. Mr. Maher famishes the follow
ing concise statement in the form of an affida
vit, which will be of interest to the commun
ity as gfring the whole history of the affair:
On or about the IBth day of March, 1603, Hr.
Alfred Spink cams to me, in the city of Memphis,
and represented that he had on hand a cotton oper
ation down the river, which bo believed would turn
out well and wished me to advance him SIO,OOO, to
be need In the ease. After bearing him, I con
sented eo to do. Hchndthen on deposit. In hla
bank, of the money of Hugh Maher & C 0.,56,-
05’1.50.
. To make np the fall stun of SIO,OOO, leave him
my check npon the Commercialßank ofTennesaee
for $3,342.80, npon which he drew the money. With,
as I supposed, the SIO,OOO, he left for Young’s
Point, sf. Spink now thinks, as he flays, that the
understanding was that at first he should only
take down $6,000. I understood it differently,
and believe that this is the only point of difference
hetwedn Mr. Spink and myself in regard to this
w hole matter. Bearing that he was in tronhle there,
1 left Memphis, on or about the 2d of April, to s-o
him. I learned, on my arrival, from him, that he
bad then invested $3,000 in the cotton operation.
At about that time Mr.Splnk turned over all his In
terest in the cotton to too firm of Hash Maher &
Co., and to pay ns the remaining s6,ooohe gave me
an order to get SI,OOO, which he informed me was
a part'd onr money and was left with his wife;
1 held an asignment of Mr. Spink's interest in a
cotton opemiou in Memphis, from which I realiz
ed inet $2,500. This left Mr. Spink Indebted to
1 tfce firm of Hugh Maher & Co., in-tho sum of $2,50).
After Mr. Spink's return to Memphis, to account
for this balance, he informed me that he had ob
tained money below, to the amount of $2,705,
which behad Invested in the cotton operatiowand
which he expected to be able to pay from money
due him in Memphis. This was an individual
matter ofMr. Spink's and with that money ho had
only $205 of his own la the cotton operation. Mr.
Spink had no right, andneverpretended he had.
to borrow money on onr credit, andneUher myself
nor any member of the firm of Hugh Maher «Si Co.,
or that firm Itself, were in any way legally or
morally hound for the money he had so obtain
ed. Ee found himself unable to collect the
money he expected here, and asked mo to loan
him $1,200, to, with what be had, enable him to
pay a certain sum which be had obtained, os I
think hfe said from Quartermaster Jones, but
which belonged to the wives of families of some
of the members of Bolton’s battery. Mr. Spink
did not claim that he had, or that anyone else had,
any claim whatever in law, equity, or right for
this, upon us. but he seemed to feel very badly on
account of his inability to collect money os he had
expected, and asked us to loan It to him as a per
sonal fhvor. I then told him that I had no right to
loan to lilsTtbe firm money; but that If Messrs.
Wallace and Price would each let him have SIOO,
I would do the same; and I wrote Mr. Wallace a
letter stating the facta, and Informing him that I
Vould do as above stated. I would here state that
I did not then, and do not • now, consider
that in any aspect of the case, either morally
or legally, were we hound to advance this
money to Mr. Spink or any one else. We hadfur
niehedmoney to the full amount of what had been
invested In cotton, with the exception of $206, and
I only consented to advance this money onaccouut
of friendship for him, thinking he had good rea
son to expeetto be able to collect It in Memphis,
and because it was going to the families of sol
diers in the field. Soon after this I returned to
Chicago, and in aboat one week Mr. Spink also
reached there, and again wished me to loan him
this $1,200. I went t ©Messrs. Wallace and Price,
and urged them each to put in S4OO, urging that
Mr. Spmk had been disappointed and felt very
badly, and that I bellevedhe would in the end ro
- l?hey seemed unwilling to do this, thinking that
Mr. Spink would contrive some other way to raise
U Soon°ister this, Hr. Spink tie office ot
Mr. Johns; TTnllneo, wnore, he. myself and Mr.
Price were, and informed na that ar
rest ftor using the money entrusted to hlmf“r‘h“
henedt of the families of the memben of Bolton a

tVe consented, and did then and there let him hare
that amount of money, and only that, for which ho
his note. Bo Ihen stated to nathat ho waa
Tory grateful, and that ho ahodd regard it M a aa

happens that we entertain a greater
degree of respect for an Ethiopian in
the ranks of tbe Northern armies than for an
odorifhrons Dntchman.who can have no possi
ble Interest in this revolntloni *■ *■ * Why
not hang every Dutchman captured? We
will hereafter bang, or shoot or imprison for
life all white men taken in command of ne
groes, and enslave the negroes themselves.
This Is not too harsh. No human being will
assert the contrary. Why, then, should wc
not hang a Dutchman, who deserves infinitely
less of our sympathy than Sambo ? Tne lire
masses of beer, kront, tobacco and rotten
cheese, which, on two legs and foar, on foot
and mounted, go prowling through the South,
should be used to manure tbe sandy plains
and barren hillsides of Alabama, Tennessee
and Georgia. * * * Whenever a Dutch
regiment adorns the limbs of a Southern for
est, daring cayalry raids into the South shall
cease. * * * President Davis need not be
specially consulted; and If an accident of
this sort should occur to a plundering band
like that captured by Forrest, wo are not In
clined to believe that oar President would be
greatly disgusted.

Post Rotja, S. C. t Jane 18,1863.
As for the Monitdrs, they are in tfo. condi
tion to be used against Charleston, unless
probably they might be mounted on wheels
and taken overland. The bottoms of these
vessels are covered with a dense growth of
„ tough white grass now about sir inches long,
and interlarded with barnacles, oyatera, and
all sorts of marine outgrowths. It is very
much like broom twigs—Just about as close
and stiff and of nearly the same color. Thns
coated, the Monitdrs, which in their best
state contrived to steam sis, seven and in one
case eight knots an hoar, can now go barely
three and a half In perfectly stub water,
while against, a tide of moderate strength
they can make absolutely 'no. headway what
ever. They are of course utterly useless in
Charleston harbor, the currents in which are
extremely swift. No of cleaning
them exist In Port Boyol harbor. They can-,
not be taken out of the water, and so long os
they remain in it they grow every day worse.
