The situation in Louisiana, as indicated
si recent news, is not encouraging: It,is
evident that we have not troops enough in
that quarter, and that to this cause is due
the recent advantages gained by the rebels

Where two comparatively small forces ot
the enemy are holding occupied one hun

The European news by the City of
Washington has a larger speck of foreign
complication with our national question.
The French proposition for mediation is
Egain about to be made. The Emperor
seems about ready to declare his affinities
and take up his alliances. The Polish
devolution as still a topic of great interest,
and the proposals to the Czar by the Gov
ernments uniting in mediation, are cx
’tremely unlikely to receive assent The
tone and aspect of the foreign journals be
gins to look decidedly as 1- «ne happy
family of monarchs would, at no distant
day£iavc enough to do, at home, to induce
caution in intermeddling with our war.
THE SITUATION AT TOG EAST.
It is safe to believe that Lee has aban
doned his Pennsylvania scheme as a fail
ure. Became, and his coming was a se
vere visitation to the rich region into which
his lean hordes were poured. He saw,and
seeing, he appreciated the fstness of the
land in horses, cattle and much grain and
the rich spoils of distressed farmers, sent
southward an his hungiy wagon trains.
What the spoils were our dispatches begin
to tell ns. The clothing of men and women
and little children; boots, no booty more
precious; and the plunder of households,
Bach are the revelations made by the over
hauling of these freebooters by our scouts
in Maryland. But though Lee came and
saw, in that he did not conqucr he lost ali
The recent victory of Gen. Meade seems
to have been a terrible blow to the rebel
* force. They r ought well—let ns give the
rebels that ere *it But they fkiled to dis
lodge our army. In the trial of strength
and metal, the test seems to have been ac
cepted by Lee as conclusive without posh
ing it to a point destructive to his army.
There is nothing yet to indicate that. The
rebel General accepted the hint of defeat
•without the fact, and later dispatches show
that he is on Lis route toward the Poto
mac. We trust the dispatches of Gen.
Meade on the point The statements of
other dispatches as to the demoralizations
and desertions of the rebels fall upon our
cars with a familiar sound. It strikes us
we have heard them before. We pass
the m by, at all events, in the account of
the situation. There is enough
that is reliable and official to show
thatLce found his match in Meade
and, straightway abandoning the idea of
sacking Philadelphia, whose citizens have
been living the fortnight past with all their
•white window shutters bolted fast; and of
capturing Baltimore and Washington dur
ing this trip; has been seized with a sud
den longing for Virginia, soil, audio .see
once more the spires of Hichmond.
Jt Is undoubtedly true that Lee is eager
to get back. There are reasons in both
front and. rear. From the rebel capital
«TefL himself calls chidingly to the once
pet general of the rebels. Lee has ven
tured once too often, and Davis cries, u I
told you so.” It will be a crashing blow
to Lee’s reputation, even if he succeeds in
leading his shattered army back into Vir
ginia.
Will he get back? That is the question.
Confessedly if he escapes without further
harm from our troops it will be a mortify
ing fact lor us. The policeman started out
to arrest a burglar in the veiy act The
knave made fight, dropped part of his
booty and got away. The officer’s errand
■was, to be sure, to put an end to this parties
tilarbuiglaxy,and he didso,hut the arrest of j
the burglar, the prime object forwhichtho
officer was armed with a club and revolver
-miscarried. Let us hope the great Penn
sylvania burglary will not end in a great
escapade. Every exertion seems to be
making now to prevent it To be sure,
the Federal evacuation of Maryland
Jldghts, announced in the Baltimore pa
pers of. the Ist inst, looked something
tffce opening a window to drive a burglar
•out of it, but if the purpose of capture lies
concealed in the measure, it will be ap
plauded all the more when it comes to
light
One thing Is certain, the alarm of Penn
sylvania may rest It is all over. Rescue
2ms arrived. Fat horses and beeves may
Le brought Lome. Peace may smooth her
xuffled plumes. Agriculture may take
Lack her plough steeds from the
and the order of a State peaceful, because
loyal, may be resumed. The plot of the
against her has failed. All that is
sow needed is the capture of Lee and his
axmy to make the victory monumental,
•otherwise it will stand os another of those,
only sot singular, because numerous,
of the tTashington-Richmond re
gion, where the two forces impinge against
each other and then rebound to rub
their bruises, and each chant their own
praises, while the journals in either inter
est argue out a victory for both. We
wait to see the late battle assume quite an
other shape.
, Pending this uncertainty, it is enough
id write that Meade and his troops .have
done well and nobly, that they deserve
richly the very reward we desire to record
ibr them, the capture of Lee. Until ar
ynies begin to be captured, and victories

one army against another is a mere
■question of delays and recuperation, and
the moral effect is light, but actual capitu
lations, and the counting of prisoners in.
bulk by brigades and divisions are the true
tallies that prove progress in the war. It
is not territory that we are after,' but the
bonded knaves that are trying to steal ter
ritory. So we sit waiting and hoping that
the capture of Lee is the decreed end ot
this Pennsylvania business. Until the doubt
ends we invoke for Meade’s springing lau

. TiSeilwa, 111., July 6,
Dr. Daniel Brohmrd, of Chicago, addressed
a large meLting* of the citizens of Bureau
county, at this place on the 4th. Ms oration
was full of principles, facts, and arguments,
luminous with trnth and weighty with practi
cal wisdom.
Bo recognized onr present national troubles
as the direct and inevitable consequences of
cur departure from, the principles oi the
Dc-clanilon of Independence, and urged with
the terror of a patriot a return to the Divine
piicciples of the rights of man and human
brotherhood, as the only sure road that leads
to a happy and enduring .peace.
. 'Be gave unbounded satisfaction to the true
XTnlon men. Tbe Copperheads fain would
have little homeopathic pile, but tbe Doctor,

mirable coolness peculiar to his pro
fession. 4
COMMENCEMENT AX KNOX
COLLEGE.
[Special Correspondence.}
Gaizsbubo, Knox Co , 111., June 27,18C3.
The eighteenth commencement of Knox
College, Galesburg, IQ, took place June 25th.
On the previous Sabbath the bacalanreate dis
course was preached by Prot Bailey. Tho
prize rhetorical exercises took place on the
evening of the 23d. The speaking was un
usually good. The competitors were C. G.
■Williams, Win. Craig, H.' C. Willard, J. C.
LaUmcr/O. H. Pitcher,audit. A. Ortrander.
Fir. Willard received the first prize, and Mr.
Craig the second. On the 24th occurred the
fourteenth commencement of tho female col
legiate department. Ten young ladles gradu
ated, viz.: Ganny Ayres, Sarah O. Bonce Isa
bella Cothren, Jcrnsha B. Farnham, Ma. jJ,
Fnruham, Harriet M. Ferris, Ella G. Ferris,
Xouita Jndson, Isabella Smith and Francis M.
Tryon. The essays were well written, and
distinctly read, and produced a very happy
impression. The address was delivered by
Bev. C. N. Mattoon, D. D., ol Rockford.
Diplomas awarded by Pro£ Bailey. At the'
close of the exercises, and before the audi
ence left the room, a Bible and an album was
. presented to Prof 8., by the graduates In
both departments. : ■ • ' •
In the evening of the same day the Alumni
were addressed by Prof George Churchill.
He stated that this was his first speech in
public, and then proceeded to give an in
structive and amusing account of his travels
in Europe. :
The “great day of the feast,” and com
mencement proper, was on Thursday. The
following are the names of the graduates
and their themes: . Edward H. Curtis, inde
pendence of character; Sam Hunt, progress
of liberty in Europe; W. D. Latimer, the
statesman; G.M. Roberts, popular govern
ments; C. H- Thompson, day approaches
surely though slowly. These speeches were
all well delivered, < and reflect honor on the
speakers and the college. Hr. Curtis is a son
of the lately deceased President of the col
lege; and Mr. Bunt is a nephew of' Parson
Brownlow. The Master's oration, by J. A.
McKenzie, was brief, able, and patriotic.
Capt. McKenzie has been compelled to resign
bis post in the army on account of ill health.
The degree of A. It. was conferred on Messrs.
McKenzie, Bobbins and Boyce. The Presl
, dent elect, Rev. W. 8. Curtis, D. D., of Ham
ilton college, N. T., then delivered bis inau
gural. Theme, the American College. His
address, though of great length, and on this
account faulty, was very able, original, and
practical, and gave great satisfaction to the
friends of the college.
FROM NEW ORLEANS.
The Late Confederate Sue-
THEY RECOVER THE ATOHA
FALATA DISTEIOT.
[Correspocdcnce N. T. World.]
New Obleanp, Jane 36,1883.
It required no gift of prophecy to predict,
as 1 did in my lost, the probable “gobble”
of the Federal forces at Brashear City. Their
capture was inevitable, unless gunboats and
transports could be tern around by the Golf
to Berwick's Bay in time to take away these
men. The Confederates wore between La
fourche (Thibodeaux) and Brasbear, and held
Ihe line of the Opelousas Railroad. No rein
foi cements or trains could be sent from,
here. There was, indeed, no escape what
ever.
To recapitulate a. little: Saturday and
Sunday there were skirmishers at Lafourche
Crossing, and the official account carried yon
news of the Federal victory. It was pom*
pously announced in the official, the
would-be official, acd was copied by the
other city papers. There was no objection
whatever to the publication of this new*,not
withstundingthe ominous silence about Port
Hudson, ever since the assault of May 27;
and only yesterday the Provost Marshal sent
word to the city papers that they would
make no allusions for the present to military
movements in this Department, which meaus,
to *aj nothing about the capture of Brashear
city, which the newsboys cried about the
town yesterday, and the abandonment of the
lafouiche country by the Federal forces.
The “victory’* ou Sunday at Laflmrebe
crossing was followed by the speedy retreat
of the Federal forces to Bate station. Before
leaving Lafourche they burned the railroad
bridge at the crossing, and several of the re*
turned soldiers say that they spiked their bat*
Uiy and threw the guns imo the bayou. At
Bute station they proceeded to intrench them*
oeives, and their subsequent operations are
significantly summed up in the return of the
16th Maine regiment to thia city yesterday
with word that “the rest was coming,’’ and
the return this morning of the 2Gth Massa
chusetts, sent over as a reinforcement lost
Saturday evening. The Confederates mean*
w bile tore up a mile or more of the track
west of the crossing, and between the two
forces, Fedcrals and Confederates, the Ope
lousas road may be considered for a “me
dium of communication” as dead as the
Rochester Fox family.
Until Gen. Banks raises the siege, or fakes
Port Hudson, or until he is reinforced from
Port Boyal or elsewhere, the Lafourche conn
tiy is in the hands of the Confederates, *nd
pending the reliefs there will be no immedi
ate action for the revision of the State Con
stitution and the revival of the civil govern
ment.
CONFEDERATE CAPTURE OF BBASIXEAR CITY.
Last Monday the United States transport
6L Wary, Capt. Talbott, left W* port aud
vent round via the Gulfj to communicate
with Berwick’s Bay. Tuesday evening while
running up the bay, she met the United
States gunboat Hollyhock (the old Reliance)
twenty-five miles from Brashear city. The
St. Wary took on board the gunboat’s passen
gers—the (late) provost marshal of Brashear
at d about forty Federal soldiers who bad es
caped on this boat. From them were gath
ered the following particulars with regard to
the capture by the Confederates of Brashear
city:
News of Saturday’s and Sunday’s operations
at Lafourche crossing reached the force at
Brashear city. It is arid (but lam not cer
tain of this) that the field guns of the 2Ut In
diana (infantry regiment, how the First Indi
ana) batteiy were sent to reinforce the Fede
rals at the crossing. If this is thp case, the
Confederates will be obligedtojflsh them out
oi the bayou, instead ol removing them, as
they might nave done, from Brasher city.
The force at Brashear city expected “U attack;
but they looked for the attack from .Lafourche,
and were fairly surprise? - n tenUlv.jww*n*i*
in a military sense—when at daylight Tuesday
morning two batteries, planted the Digit pre
vious, opened upon them from Berwick city,
opposite, and not an hoar after came crashing
through the woods a mixed mass of horse and
footmen. There were not more than sir
hundred of them, and they were a portion of
Wonton’s force from the west bank ot the
Teche. . They crossed on rafts and flat boats,
lending on the south hank of Lake Falondre,
charged into town, and came in the rear of the
Federal*, who were looking for an advance
upon Bayou Ba-uf It -was short work. There
was no fighting. The provost marshal and a
few men near the bay succeeded in getting ou
board theHollyhok. The rest were “gob
bled.”
As a raid, surprise, or “ gobble,” it was a
most important achievement for the Confed
erates, and a disaster to the Federals. There
are no means of knowing precisely the num
ber of men who were taken prisoners. They
were volunteers belonging to the 23d Con
necticut, the 176 th New York, and the Ist In
diana batteiy, with several sick and convales
cent men. Two thousand negroes—men,
women and children—were in the city, not
one of whom escaped. There is reason to
believe that -some ot the soldiers joined the
Federal forces at Lafourche Sunday evening.
Those who remained ore prisoners. The Ist
Indiana batteiy men were on duty at Fort Bu
chanan, an earthwork on Lake Falondre, com
manding the inlet of the Atcbofalaya river.
Capt. Noblett’s horse came into the city from
the fort riderless, and the fate of the rider is
only conjectured at.
There were four heavy gans In the fort, one
30 pound Parrott in the city, three, or four
runs on the earthworks at Bayou Bee of, and
ibj'he magazine there were 30,000 rounds of
ammunition for these guns. In addition to
the (temporary, at least) occupation of this
important position, and the capture of these
guns and ammunition, there were other very
desirable spoils in the place.. When Gen.
Banks made his advance to Alexandria, wish
ing to encumber the army as little as possible
ou the march, he left everything that was su
perfluous at Brashear city. His tents, his
army’s knapsacks; the officers’ baggage, con
siderable supplies of stores and provisions,
have all fallen into the hands of the Confeder
ates. Beyond the few clothes worn by those
who escaped on the Hollyhock (and they did
not stop to make veiy elaborate toilettes)
ever) thing was captured.
TUB CONFEDERATES AT ItANCHAC.
Lately a email train has been ran dally on
the Jackeon Bailroad to" Kenner, fourteen
miles above the city, and sometimes on to
Manchac, on tbe South Pass of Lake Manre
pas, Manchac Pass bas been the scone of
bridge burning more than once within a few
months past. Pesterday a train with the
only locomotive on the road was sent np to
Manchac to bring the hand cars, tools, and
men who have just completed the repairs of
the bridge. The train did not return, and we
have news this morning that it was taken by
Ihe now hold the Foss. As
this gives them the control of the road, and
affords a direct route to the city, the Conted-
C! ates will not he likely to destroy the bridge,
unless compelled to do so to ent off an ad*
vanning Federal force from New Orleans.
THE SITUATION TO-DAT.
. Gen. Banks, bo far as we know, “holds Ms
owfc ” in the rear of Port Hudson. Admiral
Farragut is near Springfield Landing with the
Tennessee (flag ship), Genessee v Richmond,
Essex (Iron-clad). Sachem, and six mortar
schooners. .The Hartford, Estrella, and Alba-
TJmoh.
tross of this fleet ore supposed to be above.
Gen. Emory commands the defenses of New
Orleans. The Confederates occupy the entire
State west of Lafourche Crossing and north
of the Opelousas railroad. The situation is
more interesting and critical than it lias been
at any time since April 25,1862, when Farra

THE EESTJLT OF THE LATE
BATTLES.
Effects of the Present Situation.
Hundreds of Cumberland Valley formers,
with teams, cattle, &c., ore returning home.
About fifty rebel prisoners arrived from' Car
lisle to-day. Gen. Sigcl is in towh.
The following Is condensed from the even
ing Telegraph :
Gen. Pierce, in command of Mllroy’s troops,
on Saturday evening, captured a rebel wagon
train of about 100 wagons, between Cham
bcrsbnrgand Greencastle. The contents were
chiefly plunder, consisting of clothes, shoes,
hats, and even women and children’s clothing.
A great many rebel wagons foil into onrhands
as they near the Potomac, and farmers along
the line of the retreating rebels greatly har
assed them. The rebels desert their sick and
wounded. It is thought they do so to em
barass our army.
It is said that the Headquarters of the De
partment of tbe Susquehanna ore to bo re
moved to Carlisle,
It is folly believed here that Lee Is moving
& bold front to cover his retreat, and that be
Is working as if he intended to entrench him
self in position beyond Gettysburg, the more
effectually to cover his design of extricating
his army from its present position without a
fight.
It is said his troops are disheartened and
dismayed.
Lee’s scattered troops are retreating up
through the valley. The impression prevails,
in official circles, that all the Potomac fords
are in our possession. A military force un
der Smith Is pushing on rapidly, and has re
inforced the wearied troops of Meade. It is
not likely that the rebels will a stand
to fight another pitched battle, as not one
third of Jheir men ore together, and these are
completely demoralized. Prisoners and de
serters are arriving in large numbers.
It has been raining all day. The Potomac
if still rising, and it is confidently believed
by knowing ones that Lee, in order to avoid
further carnage, will surrender. As oar forces
are now stationed, if he attempts to cross ho
will be cut to pieces. Our whole army has
never been in better spirits.
JUlttmobe, July 6.—The following has
been posted at headquarters:
Advices from the army, up to 3 p. m. on

Gen. Hooker, who is here, thinks Lee can
not escape, as the river has already risen suf

Gen. Stoneznan had an interview with tho
Secretary of War to-day, and is to receive

The dispatches of Jeff Davis are even more
decisive in their disapproval of Lee's plan
tliftß we stated last night. Davis says that
Lee having undertaken the movement on his
own responsibility, must extricate himself as
best he can.
The rain of yesterday and to-day trill In
crease the recent rise in the Potomac, to a
freshet, which will render it Impossible for
Lee to cross, except by a bridge. Informa

Baltimore, July s.—Si consequence of In*
formation that Gen. Stuart was about to make
a raid upon our rear, this afternoon, General
Kilpatrick was sent out on our right. Some
cannonading was heard, bat up to 9 o’clock he
bad not returned to camp.
Harrisdubo, July C, 1 a. m.—Nothing Is
known as to the exact situation. Lee is prob
ably trying to retreat hy both routes. It is
supposed he does not know ofthe destruc

the rebel army, last night, was with his left
near Hunterfctown, and his rightacrossthe
Emmettsburg road, thus forming; a semi
circle around Gettysburg. Gemflleade ope*

Harrisburg, July 6.—The Pennsylvania
Railroad has resumed business. All passen

by the rebels.

arrived, and General Schenck has orders to
prepare to receive 20,0Q0 more.
The road along the route of the rebel re
treat is strewn with abandoned wagons, can
non, small arms and camp equipage.
General Conch appears to have formed a
junction with Meade, and the militia are
slaughtering and captaring the grajbacks by
regiments and brigades. •
Not one tenth of Lee’s army can get back
to Dixie by the route they cajne. It is not a
defeat for Lee, but a total and perfect rout.
Baltimore, July 6.— Qeu. Hallcck is in
possession of several recent dispatches from
Gen. Meade, and from their tone declares that
Lee has suffered a disastrous defeat. *
New York, July 6.— The New York Time*

Eutches captured are a peremptory order to

us the reason that the position is too hazard
ous, and the condition of Richmond too de
fenseless to warrant his remaining longer,
lie also refuses Lee’s request to allow Beau
rtgard torelnforce him, and orders Lee south
ol the Potomac forthwith.”
The N. Y. Timm' Gettysburg dispatch con
firms the report that we almost annlbilated
the rebels, who left nearly 5U,000 killed and
wounded on tbe ground. Hancock’s Corps,
which defeated the centre, was thanked by
Gen. Meade in the name of the army and the
country. At 7on Friday evening, the 3d and
6th Army Corps attacked the enemy’s right,
gaining a good deal of ground. Our cavalry
to-day (Sunday) is playing on the rebel flank

troyed by our cavalry. Our cavalry has gone
to Williamsport to destroy the bridges there.
Other preparations are progressing to inter

the very best. Our Josses are heavy, but the
army is still in good condition. It will re
quite a day or two toascertain the full tAtent
of our losses and captures. : •
New York, July 6.—A Washington dis

General Order No. 73.—The commanding
General has observed with marked satisfaction the
conduct of the troops oa the march, and confi
dently anticipates results commensurate with the
high spirit they have manifested. No troops could
have displayed greater fortitude or better per
formed the’ordnous marches of the past ten days.
Their conduct in other respects, hos, with few ex
ceptions, been in keeping with their characteras
soldiers, and entitles them to approbation and
p*s*sc.
There have, however, been instances of forget
fulness on the-part of some, that they hare in
keeping the yet unsullied reputation of tho army
and that tho duties exacted of ns by civilization
and Christianity arc not less obligatory in the
country of the enemy than in our own.
Tbo commanding, General considers that no
greater disgrace could befall the army, and through
it our whole people, than the perpetration of the
barbarous outrages npon the innocent and defense
less, and the wanton destruction of private prop
er ty, that have marked the course of the enemy m
our own country. Such' proceedings not only
disgrace tho perpetrators and all connected with
them, hut are subversive of the discipline and ef
ficiency of the army, and destructive of tho ends
of our present movement. It must be re me cube red
that we make war only upon armed men, and that ■
we cannot take vengeance for the wrongs onr peo
ple have suffered, without lowering ourselves In
the eyes of all whose abhorrence hqg been excited
by the atrocities of our enemy, and offending Him
to whom vengeance bclongeth, without whoso
favor and support our efforts must all prove In
vain.
. The Commanding General therefore earnestly
exhorts the troops to abstain with most scrupulous
care from unnecessary or wanton injury to private
property; and be enjoins upon all officers to arrest

In any way offend against the orders on this sub

Washington, July 3.—A. G. Hatfield and
lady, of Lancaster, Pa., who were captured at
the fall of Winchester, reached here to-night
from Richmond, having left that city yester
day morning.
They were released with 000 privates at
Winchester, who have been sent to Camp Pa

sioned officers, who have been in the Rich
mond Penitentiary nine months as hostages
for some rebels recently held by us. They
were the only officers released, even our sur
geons and chaplains being detained.
Tbe ladies wbo were wives of officers, some
twelve In number, were regarded as prisoners
of war and have been subjected to the most
cruel treatment. At Winchester they were
confined by the rebels in a small fort promis
cuously with other prisoners, and on being
released were famished with wretched accom
modations for transit to Richmond, several
ladles being obliged to walk twenty and thirty
miles. At every place they were booted at,
Insulted, and universally looked npon os
Yankee curiosities. On arriving at Richmond
they were closely imprisoned and treated as
most of our.prisoners have been before them.
There was a decided scare on Friday lost,
when Col. Spear, of Dix’s forces, made'his
raid so near Richmond. The entire city was
alarmed, so much so that nearly a thousand
rebel soldiers, confined In same prison with
three civilians, for military offences, were
called npon and told that they would be fur
nished with arms, and immediately ordered
out in front of Richmond. The commanding
officer reported that the Yankees were then
within a few miles. On Colonel Spear’s re
treat the excitement subsided, hut therrf Is
still constant fear of on attack, which was ex
pected almost daily.
There are believed to he abont 6,000 troops
In Richmond, mostly conscripts and homo
guards. The prisoners saw boys not more
than twelve years of age drilling in the
streets. It Is certain that none or Bragg’s
forces have reached Richmond, nor that that
city has been reinforced otherwise. It is the
opinion that it could now be easily token.

Great Union Meeting- in North
ern lowa. '
[From our Special Correspondent]
McGregor, July 3, 1863.
The meeting held at this place on .Tuesday,
June SO, 1863, was the largest and most enthu
siastic ever be[d in Northern lowa. The num
ber present was variously estimated .at from
seven to ten thousand. Able and patriotic
Seeches were made in the forenoon by Lieut,
mderson, who was wounded at Corinth, and
the Rev. Mr. Sweannger, La the afternoon,
the procession formed at the public square,
and Marched to the residence of CoL Monett,
of the 21st lowa, who was lying, in bed from
the wounds received by him at Black Elver
Bridge, and gave the Colonel three ronsing
cheers, and three more for the gallant 21st;
then marched to Market Square. «Hon. Mat*
D. Carpenter took the stand, and for two
hours and a half held the vast throng spell
bound, except when be made some telling nit,
or some patriotic appeal, when the whole as
sembly would rise as one man, and rend the
air with their deafening cheers. Since that
&rcech I have been unable to find a sympath
*42* r with treason.
Hon. John F. Dillon also made a very*tlo
quent address.
On the stand and !n .the assembly, were
Democrats and Republicans In former days,
but now forgetting their party predellctions,
and sending to 'Heaven their load cheers for
the old flag and the glorious Union. O.
Lieut. Col. llclancthon Smith.
(Special Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.
Bocktord, July 6,1563.
Among the many brave men who have fallen
victims to thl* unholy rebellion, the loss of
none has given ns more pain than that of
Lieut. CoL Smith of the 45th Illinois (known
as the "Washburne Lead Mine Regiment), who
fell at the head of his regiment, where he was
in command, in taking Port Hill, one of the
strongest fortifications at Vicksburg. At the
battles of Fort Donelson and Shiloh, with
his gallant regiment, right well did they do
their part In achieving thosebrilliant victories.
In the prime of life, in the midst of useful
ness as a respected citizen and a true patriot,
he fell, covered with wounds, at the post of
duty.
'Winnebago has thrice been called. In the
past Jew months, to moorn the loss of her
gallant eons, in Ellis of the 15th, Kevins of
thelltb, and now Smith of the 45th—Lieu
tenant Colonels all—with many of her brave
sons whose names are not now beside ns, and
too numerous to be named in this hasty sketch.
Illinois and the great, free Northwest! what
a glorious record will the future historian
make up of the patriots who have gone ont at
the call of their country, from that portion of
our fair land exempt from Hie curse of slavery
by the glorious Jeffersonian ordinance 0f1787/

There has never gathered upon the banks of
this lovely lake, a more happy and enthusias
tic crowd of men, women and children, tb*n
came from all the country round to celebrate
the Fourth of July.
The day was splendid, the roads fine, and
the shady groves and the pure waters of the
Lake, all combined to bring out the multi
tude.
‘ Speakers were announced, in both the Ger
man and, English‘tongue, and they came in
due time,' to enlighten, arouse to patriotism,
and to prepare-the people for any and all
emergencies which the crisis may demand.'
Mr. Brentano, of the IlUnoia Staata ZeU*uvr t
was promised os the German speaker, buc not
coming; on account of sickness, his place
was well filled, from the same office, by Mr.
Kapp, whose speech to the Germans told pow
erfully.upon that class of our liberty-loving
citizens.
Hr. C. of Chicago, delivered a
splendid oration, showing the greatness of
the nation in a physical point ot view, and
how much greater it should be in the-mental
and moral aevelopmhnt oi oar people. ttu
eloquent production made a profound sensa
tion, elicited applause and drcwfbrtha hearty
vote of IBanka.
Hr. Clark, of Messrs. Clark, Cornell and
Norton, of Chicago, made one of the ablest
and most telling speeches ever heard in Lake
county, and caused cheer after cheer to go np
from the assembled multitude.
All the speakers will be gratefully remem
bered for their able and patriotic efforts, and
the hearts of all onr Union men, women and
children will beat all *tbe stronger for God
and the right.
The Ladies’ Soldiers* Aid Society was .well
prepared with refreshments dedicated to the
beat of causes, and their ibnd was increased
about a hundred dollars. A more tireless and
heroic bandof women can nowhere be found.
The.town of Lake Zorich (Ela) gave WU- ,
Hams 100 to Ayer 17; and every of the
ICO is ready to follow the crowd already
gone before,” from this town, to the battle
fields of the country, whenever called for.
. The crops on every side promise uncom
monly well, and the mighty valley, here and
beyond, to be furnished a market by the Chi
cago, and Northwestern Railway, will soon
pour out its golden treasures as never douo
before. Let Chicago be ready; the North
west is coming.
