MONDAY, JUNE 29,1863.
THE SITUATION.
The coming week will round the Ml
period of the eighty-seventh year of our ex
ist once as a nation. For the anniversaiy
lo fidi on Saturday nest, great events are
preparing, some and probably all of
which may not be postponed. A vast rebel
army already north oi the Potomac is car-,
fjias its depredations into the heart of a
loyal State, the Capital of which has al
ready been attacked. The lines of railroad
connecting the Federal Capital with the
North are seriously menaced, and one of
them is already severed. The great and
populous States ol the East are arming to
repel actnal invasion, and pouring their re
cruits into the rapidly forming ranks of
Wat. Our own veteran army of the Poto
mac is closely watching the foe and main
taining its place between- him and 'Wash
ington. Both armies are already in Mary
land. A battle is imminent. Such is the
aspect in the East.
Bat it is not alone the Federal Govern
ment that is anxious over a menaced capi
tal We hear from Southern Virginia,
and learn it from rebel tremors, that Bich
mond is seriously threatened by Gen. Dix’s
army, approaching it by way of the Chick
ahominy. The rebels are in great appre
hension at the movement, as well they
may he.
Turning to the centre of our great op
posing lines, Rosecrans lias driven tlie
rebels back upon Buck Hirer, and is lead
ing bis army on towards Chattanooga or
any intermediate point, where the enemy
may give him the battle he now courts.
Vicksburg is still closely invested, and
yesterday may have been the battle Sun
day. The assault could not,* at last ad
vices, be long delayed.
Port Hudson is still besieged, and the
rebel accounts of a Me disaster to our
forces, only anticipated, by a few days,
news of the same nature by our own chan
nels. It ■tins not a repulse, however, of
any conclusive character, and Port Hudson
must be set down as one of the possible
Sources of good news to come to hand this
week.
Oat upon the ocean, where of late along
our coast the rebel pirates have been busy
preying upon our commerce, a numerous
fleet of armed vessels, with eager crews are
Searching for the daring* enemy. It can
Scarcely be possible that these numerous,
powerful cruisers will not shortly have
good tidings to send us back.
With this .aspect the week opens. It
thunders, indeed, all round the sky. The
Clouds of mighty conflicts pen ding, hang
nil round the war horizon. We might go
on to write what hasbefore, and oftenbeen
the loving labor of loyal journalists. We
might flgbt each and every one of these
Kittles on paper, and record in advance
the praises of our noble troops. We might
assure our readers that all goes well, that
all will be well, that Heads, and Bose
crans, and Grant, and Biz will be sure to
Stand, each to Ins own lot, and conquer.
We shall not do it It will be the fervent
prayer of every lover of his country, that
J£e triumphs of all these may gild our
turns against the coming of the near at
hand national anniversary, but let ns wait
Meanwhile let every patriot study well
the solemn portents of the hour. Let it
not be in vain that two years of tins war
have impressed upon us their varied les
sons. Let us be brave, patient, earnest,
end prepared to meet great , emergencies.
The present week may have in store for
ns disasters which will call for the exer
cise of the highest qualities of patriotism.
It will all the better prepare us to rejoice
Ct victories, to have calmly nerved our
selves to receive and repair defeat. Let
renewed earnestness go abroad in the land.
The trade of this people must be war un
til the nation is saved. There is no Peace
Worth possessing that the sword does not
Win for us in this era of our trial. The
most important week in our nation «>i his
tory has opened. Let patriots be ready to
acquit themselves like men, whatever may
be its events.
THE NEWS*
"We £ive elsewhere a general grouping
of the aspects in the several theatres of
war. As far as concerns matters in Penn
sylvania and we are told only
What the rebels are doing. For obvious
reasons, a curtain is carefully drawn about
the operations of our own forces. The
mystery is one unlikely to lost, and is en
forced by reasons winch must silence the
most impatient
The news from the coast of Maine tells
Of the capture of a daring gang of rebels,
the crew of the late, pirate Tacony, who
went into the business of stealing a reve
nue cutter, and failed. The incident will
create new vigilance in all the New Eng
land ports.
The news from Vicksburg does not ma
terially affect the situation. Grant made
assaults on the enemy’s works, but exactly
with what results, we are unable to deter
miuc from the accounts we have before us.
Our dispatches from Bosecrans’ army
indicate that Bragg is moving farther to
wards the centre of the Confederacy, with
Bosecrans at his heeds. His destination is
cither Tullahoma or Chattanooga, proba
bly the latter, where, it is believed, he will
ghow fight.
There is a reported disaster to' Banks'
Command, in which three Wisconsin regi
ments are reported to he nearly all cap
tured. The accounts put our loss at 700.
Volunteers were called for, to Tnn\-p an as
sault on the enemy’s works, and the Wis
consin hoys claimed the privilege, with
the result as stated.

THE DEATH OP ATIVTTHT. FOOTE.
The Navy Department, to-day, issued the
following general order;
Natt Depabtmekt, June 27.—A gallant
and distinguished naval hero Is lost to the
country. The hero of Fort Henry and' Fort
Donelson, the daring and indomitable spirit
that created and led to successive
victories the Mississippi fiotflla; the
the heroic Christian sailor who, in the China
seas, and on the coast of as vrell as
the great Interior rivers of this country, sus
tained with unfaltering fidelity and devotion
the honor of our flag and the cause of the
Union. Rear Admiral A. Hull Foote is now <
no more. On his -way to the command of the
fioufh Atlantic blockading squadron, a posi
tion to which he had recently been assigned,
and upon the duties of which were combined
the earnest energies and rigorous movements
of a mind of no ordinary character, ho was
suddenly prostrated by disease, and after a
brief Alness, he breathed his last at the Astor
House, New Ysrk, on the evening of the 26th
Instant.
Among the noble and honored dead whose
names have added lustre to our naval-renown
and must ever adorn our national annals, few
will stand more pre-eminent than that of the
gallant and self-sacrificing Christian sailor and
gentleman whose loss we now deplore.
In appreciation oi Msjvirtncs and his ser
vices a grateful country had honored him
while living with Its willing honors and will
mourn Ms death, and therefore as a mark of
respect it is ordered that the flags of the sev
eral naval yards, naval stations, on flag-ships,
and of squadrons be hoisted at half-mast, and
that thirteen minute guns be fired at mere
dian on the day after receipt of IMs order.

PoETiAm), Me-, June 27.—-The revenue cut
ter Caleb Cushing was ran off last night. She
was heavily aimed mid provisioned for two
months. Steamers were immediately sent in
pursuit, and the two are now.engaging her.
The guns can be distinctly heard here; :
Portland, Me., June 27.—The United Sates
revenue cutter, which, as wo reported this
morning, was run ont of this harbor, and par
sued by two steamers, it is how ascertained,
apparently came to anchor and took la sails,
and soon after was discovered to been fire N
At twenty minutes past two o’clock she blew
up with a tremendous report, and nothing of
her is now .visible. From the observations it
!s supposed she was blown up by the crew.
The steamers are returning.'
Portland, Me., June 27—P. M.—The crew
of the cutter Caleb Cushing, seem to have es
caped, before* she was blown up, in boats—
probably to a schooner near by, as the Forest
City chased one down towards Green Island,
caught her, and is towing her In, The Forest
City had only twelve-pounders, and the Ches
apeake only slx-poundcrs, but their intention
was to run the cutter down at once, as they
were no match for her thirty-two-pounders.
Portland, June 27, C p. m.—Captain Les
comb, of the Forest City, says he came with
in gun-shot of the Cushing half an hour be
fore the Chesapeake came along. The Cash
ing fired at the Forest City sis times, without
showing any flag whatever. The Forest City
then laid to, waiting for the* Chesapeake to
come up. When the Chesapeake arrived, af
ter consultation, it was agreed to board the
Cushing. The Chesapeake took the lead in
this, being a propeller, and also being pro
tected by cotton bales. The rebels perceiving
the intentions of the Chesapeake and Forest
City, became frightened, and abandoned the
Cushing in two boats, and sent off a third
boat, with the regular crew, whom th<*y had
placed in irons. This last boat was anuost
immediately picked up by the Chesapeake.
The other two boats, with the rebels aboard,
steered for Harp swell shore, and were pur
sued and picked up by the Forest City. The
rebels proved to bo twenty-three in number.
The Forest City also picked up a small
boat, containing Mr. Bibber, who had been
set adrift from the Cushing. Mr. Bibber and
hie partner were captured yesterday, by the
rebels, while in a small fishing boat, off Da
rners Cove Island. Mr. BibbcrinformedCapt.
Lescomb that he was capturedby the schooner
Archer, off Southport.
The schooner Archer came in last night,and
anchored below iDnoo, intending to bora two
gunboats building in Portland, .and cut out
the revenue cutter Cushing, and steamer For
est City. This they found ■ themselves very
much troubled to do; but at 3 o'clock this
morning they boarded the Cushing quietly,
and seized a small portion of her crew then
aboard, put them in irons, and made their way
out of the harbor, through Hussey's Sound.
After passing the forts, CaptLcscombleamcd
the intentions of the rebels, and immediately
pursued the Archer, which wav making her
way to the eastward as rapidly as a light
breeze would permit. Capt. Lescomb cap
tured the Archer, and found three rebels and
Bibbers' partner aboard, and towed her up to
the city.
By Mr.. Bibber's report, Captain Lescomb
thinks there arc three ormorc schooners with
rebel crews aboard on our coast destroying
ourJlshermen. The Archer had only a how
itzer on board, and the schooners are prob
ably lightly armed.
. The Forest Citypasscd a suspicious looking
black steamer oiT Cape Porpoise, at 3 o'clock
this morning, when coming from Boston,
which at first made for the Forest City, but
afterwards kept to the southwest. The For
est City arrived up about hall-past 4 o'clock,
landing the rebel prisoners at Fort Preble.
8 o’clock p. jl— Your reporter has Just
come from Fort Preble. The commandant
there will not allow the prisoners to be ques
tioned to-night. There are two rebel officers
among the prisoners named Lieut. 0. W.
Reed, with a regular commission from the
Confederate navy, the late commander, of the
Tacony, and Eugene H. Brown, 8d Assistant
Engineer of the Florida, detached from the
Tacony.
Two books were found on the prisoners—a
memorandum book with instructions, &c.,
which I was not allowed to see, and another,
an account book, cotaining in fact part of the
list of vessels captured by the rebels. The
commandant of the-fort informed us that it
appears from a memorandum that Lieut. Reed
and his crew went aboard the Tacony about
the Uth of May. On the morning of the 35th
of June he seems to have burned the Tacony,
and gone on board the schooner Archer.
Lieut. Reed's last memorandum says, “It
is my intention to go along the coast with the
view of burning the shipping in some ex-.
posed harbor or cutting out some steamer."
A police force went to Fort Preble this eve
ning to demand the prisoners in behalf of the
civil authorities, but the commandant stated
he should hold them as prisoners of war,
subject to the commands of the War Depart
ment, It is reported by the crew of the Cash
ing that a boats crew of ten men escaped
from her this morning. If this is so, they
may seize some other schooner and make
more trouble. . ✓
The regular crew of the Cashing has been
put in confinement, to wait the examination.
Lieut. Davenport state* that between 13 and
1 o'clock last night, some suspicious looking
men, dicsscd as sailors, came aboard the cut*
ter, and healing an unusual nolsc,he went on
deck to see what was the matter, when he was
Immediately seized hy five armed men, who
pointed their pistols at him, and said they he
longed to the Confederate navy, rinding re*
sistance useless, he surrendered, and was pat
in irons, with nil his men.
Both Lieut. Reed and Engineer Brown
styled themselves as officers of the Confede
rate steamer Florida, and sold she was in the
offing.
The cutter’s crew refused to tell where the
ammunition was put, and this, with the want
of favorable wind, induced the rebels to bam
the*cutter.
Lieut. Reed's log hookstates that he burned
the Tocony, of which he was'commander, on
finding that vessels of the Federal Govern
ment were after him.
FROM MADISON.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribane.]
Madison, Wis., Jane 27,1653.
The Democrats profess to derive great sat-*
isfcclion from the correspondence published
to-day here and in Milwaukee, between Gov.
Salomon and Gen. Pope, in which the opin
ion is expressed that the military power
should not be employed in enforcing the con
scription or other laws, till all civil'resources
arc exhausted. The draft, however, will be
enforced, and if armed resistance is offered
which cannot be subdued by civil process,
military power, It is understood, will be used
decisively.
The Hartford Home League says the military
sent into Dodge county to protect the enroll
ment, found two orthree hundred armed men
assembled In Lebanon, where the' enrolling
officer was shot, and it expected warm work.
On the sight ot the blue coats, however, they
scattered, and many tried to hide their
weapons. The enrollment proceeded, hut
the League feays nothing but the presence of
soldiers prevented the Ignorant, insane and
deluded men from murder. State agents have
sent the Governor the names of three hun
dred "Wisconsin soldiers in the Memphis hos
pitals; and those ,near Washington and Alex
andria. *
A Vicksburg letter says Wisconsin lias thir
teen regiments of infontiy, one regiment of
cavalry, and four or five batteries ol artilcry
there.

FROM PORT HUDSON.
New York, Juno 27.—The World says:
By-the arrival of the Creole, wc have nows

upon the rebel works at Port Hudson was
principally by Weitzcl’s and Grover’s di
visions on the light. Our troops- were re

Five companies of -the Metropolitan Cavalry
were captured within a mile and a halt of
Banks’ headquarters.
Our New Orleans correspondence contains
Interesting details of the position of affairs at
Port Hudson.
It is said Gen. Dudley hid offered to lead
4,000 men for another assault upon- the ene
my’s works, and that an order had been issued
authorizing volunteers from oh regiments for
a forlorn hope.
# There had been four arrivals of wounded at
Now Orleans, and the St. Louis and other ho
tels were filled with them. All access to the
wounded is strictly prohibited.
. Gen. Magruder is said to have withdrawn
his troops from the Bio Grande and gone to
ward Port Hudson.
A New Orleans letter of the 18th, to the
Tribune , says: Yesterday, Gem Banks issued
an - order for 1,000 volunteers to make the
final charge on the enemy’s works. The 4th
and Cth Wisconsin volunteered, and were re
pulsed, and afterward taken prisoners—all,
or nearly all.
New York, June 27.—The Ecrd'Ts New
Orleans letter states our loss in tho repulse of
tbo lOth at Port Hudson, at 700 killed and
wounded. Among the wounded is Gen.
Paine, in the leg, severely.
There is no doubt Magruder is in Aitakapas
county, with fifteen or twenty tiiousondiinen,
destroying all the property we did not move.
He is also forUfylnjr at Franklin, to defend
that country should Port Hudson futj.
Aleaxt, Juno 27,—A letter was received in
this city to-day, from CoL Lewis Benedict,
162 d New York State Volunteers, dated at
Bonks* headquarters, 18th—the same day as
the Tribune'a letter. The- writer says two
■Wisconsin regiments were captured at Port
Hudson. He makes no mention of any fight
as slated in said letter, but says aU was quiet,
and it was quite certain there wonld be no re
newal of the attack for several days.
New Yolk, June 231—The Her dd has ad
vices from Port Hudson to the 20:h.
Gen. Banks, on the 15th Inst., issued a con
gratulatory order to his.troops, on their
steady advance on the enemy’s work?, stating
he is confident of, immediate and triumph

The Era of the 21st states that cavalry,
one infinity of rebel regiments and a battery
of six pieces arc stationed at Tndinn Village,

A rebel bearer of dispatches*had been cap
tured with, it Is sold, dispatches from John
ston, who promised torcinlorce Port Hud
son and capture Banks* whole army, if the
place would hold out till the following Tues
day.
This mall may be! a ruse, however, to In
duce Banks to make an immediate assault,
that he may be repulsed or determine his abil
ity to cany the place and not await slow pro
cess of starvation.
A deserter reports a consultation of rebel
officers, who unanimously requested General
Gardner to surrender. He replied that a
large reinforement would arrive within a
week, and they would only hold oat a few
days longer the eelge would result favorably
to them.
The disaffected returned to their camp and

Knowles, whom he was endeavoring to arrest
in Troy for horse-stealing, The citizens then
turned out to arrest the desperadoes, and

that'escape was impossible, and determined
not to be taken alive, the two deserters then

Cairo, Jane 27,1563.
The steamer Atlantic, from Vicksburg, 23d,
come In this evening. Affairs in the rear of
Vicksburg are net-materially changed since
the lost news. The approaches had gained
the rebel works, a wall of earth only a few
feet In thickness separating the rebel and
Union troops, though tho position of the en

at present. It was expected that a general as*

Eumors“prevailed at Lake’s Landing that a

the steamer,, no troops had started upon such
a movement.
Beports have for several days been rife hero
of the ejected arrival of several thnftgfinq
rebels under Gen. Price, at the Point below
Fort Pillow, near Island No. 83. I havo been
waiting for the same to assume some i substan
tial shape, but thus far, can make nothing out
of the chaos of rumors and tall stories, except
ing that.prcparationa were .being made by the
Confederates to cross the Mississippi at the
place indicated, and that the Union military
authorities arc well posted. It was reported
last evening that an embargo was already
placed upon passage below Island No. S3, but
the arrival of the steamer TTnimnn from below
at 2 o’clock this morning, says that it is a lie*
It is not possible for any small force to stop

There is much comment on the illicit traf

CATARRH CtBED.
[From Rev. P. R. Russell. Lynn, Mass.}
Ltnn, Afaaa., Feb- lae.i-ffli
I hav-s been much troubled with catarrh oitha worst,
tjpe for some twenty years. IS gradually grew worst
producing CQRgh and hoarsen ess, destroying the sense
or smell, and breaking down my general health to such,
a degree as to compel me to resign my pastorate amt
suspend public speaking. I made diligent use ortha
usual remedies, such as snuift of divers kinds nitrate
•of silver, tar water, olive tar, and Inhalations, buk
without any very salutary effects. Last summer Z
heard of Dr. LlshthlU's successful mode of treadme
Catarrh, visited him. and pnt myself under his treat
menr. I becah Immediately to Improve. and thlstuv
provement Las none on to the present time, ily Ca
tarrh has gradually melted away, my cough has dis
approved, my voice has become natural, and I ana
once more able to preach the ble>ae VGfwpel. Let
advise all troubled with catarrh oinicultle* to apply ta
Dr. Lighlhlll. .p.B, SU3SELL.
