TLo Arkansas army under Steel, inita ad-
vance to Sbreveport, Louisiana, bas been
most disastrously defeated. He has sacri-
feed nearly all his baggage wagons and ar
tillery, and reached Little Rock in a sad
. plight. Three regiments with 1,600 men,
with 245 wagons, were captured on the re
treat. Another train, with 200 wagons and
200 men, was also captured by the Confederates.
Tbe steamer Alamo, w!tb twenty tuns of
ammunition, was sunk in tbe Arkansas
River, near Little Reck, by coming in collis

time to eave it from capture.
It is ascertained that every man on board
the gunboat Commodore Jones, was either
killed or wounded with one exception.
The accident happened by a man exploding

FUIDAY'S BATTLE.
Washington, May 9. Tbe following is
condensed from full accounts received this
evening from the front." A column or two
of details are left out through fear that on
account of tbe storm along part of tbe line,
tbe wires may not be able to get it through.
FBIDAT'8 -BATTLE.
Tbe battle on Friday lasted through'al!
tbe hours of daylight, bnt ended w.tbout
decisive results. Sedgwick, with twodivi-:
sions, Pickett's and Wright's.beld tbe right.
Next to him in tbe center was Warren with
bis corps, and Stephens' division, from Burn
side'a corps. On tne left was Hancock with
bis own division, and Getty's from the 6th.
Burnside formed tbe reserve, and bia men
were thrown ia from time to time aa the ex
igencies of the battle demanded. The right
bad orders from Grant, through Meade, to
advance at five o'clock, but Ewell, who lay
opposite, took time by tbe forelock and
himself advanced a quarter be fore five much
to Sed wick 'a disgust. A spirited action of
an hour ensued, and by six o'clock tbe
rebels were pushed back, each side holding
ground upon which it bad spent the night.
The loss was severe on both aides. This
action on tbe right was hardly over, till
Hancock, on the extreme left, became en
gaged, Longstreet and the rest of tbe rebel
force opposite, having all attacked him
Several hours of beavy fighting followed,
wben this rebel attack was repulsed like the
other. By 2 o'olock all was quiet, and Lee's
attempts to turn first our right and then our
left, had been successively defeated. For a
time tbe rebel movements were shrouded
in mystery .and our own side, scarcely ready
to go to find them, awaited the develop
ments. By 11 o'clock they came. The
rebels again made a heavy attack on Sedg
wick, and part of Warren's Corps. Sedg
wick promptly goes in, and after a sharp ao
tioD, drove Ewell back to bis second line of
hastily constructed works. Here tbey stand
and tbe action continues fiercely. Warren
now wanted to aid Sedwick by charging
and clearing tbe ground, but a personal ex
amination of tbe ground showed tbat it
would bave been folly to attempt it over
tbe long exposed space swept by their ar
tillery. So the interchange of infantry and
artillery were continued till noon, when
Sedgwick again silenced tbe enemy, and
for tbe second time rested upon bia arms -Warren,
meanwhile, finds a point further to
tbe left, where be thinks tbe enemy's line
vulnerable, and orders an assault by Wads
worth's division. The rebel line ia bere
held by A. P. Hill's corps. The ground is
covered with s dense undergrowth. A
wavering fight rages, for three quarters of at
hour. Finally Wadsworth orders a charge
With loud cheers from tbe men, he leads
ttM charge. One horse is shot from under
bim; be mounts another, and but for bis
untimely fall, we should have been entirely
successful. Wadsworth was shot through
the bead, killed instantly, and hia body fell
into tbe hands of tbe enemy.
Un tbe lett. where tfobinson's division
joined up to Hancock, an assault was order
cd, and with better bopes cf success. At
noon Sedgwick is no longer engaged, and bis
line egain rests on the same ground aa on
tbe previous night.
Tbe enemy now showed a disposition to
renew tbe battle in tbe morning, hedgwick
was in bis short line, and our part ia done
better than in the former charge, bwell in
forced back to tbe second line of works,
where be makes a desperate stand. War
ren who was on Sedwick's left, endeavors
to assist, but finds it impossible. At 11
o'clock tbe enemy press hard on Warren
and Sedgwick, and their heavy guns pour
ing volley after volley into our column, es
pecially into Sedgwick's. One mac and
three horses were killed within twenty feet
of bim.
Tee enemv again came forward with ter
rific impetuosity, and, for a time, lifted up
and bent back our lines. Stragglers broke
back and tbe road was soon filled with
panic-stricken crowds. Tbe story was car.
ried to headquarters that Genera! Hancock's
line was broken through. Grant refused to
believe it, but aenda re-enforcements. He
was right in both. Hancock had bravely
and skillfully rallied bia men, and now,
eteadied by tbe advancing supports, pushed
forward again. In less than an hour from
tbelr first fierce onslaught, be was driving
the rebels. Several hundred prisoners were
taken, and their loss in killed and wouoded
-a. I - .
was lerrioie. iiy sua set me action was
over. Perfect silence reigned along the
line. We held our ground everywhere, aud
all supposed tbe work over. It might be
briefly reckoned up. Everywhere the en
etuy'a attack had been repulsed; but this
heavy massing for attack ia tbe enemy's
strongest game, and it is not ours. Tbe
cooclvaion, tbey, was in our favor, and sup
posing it were only a drawn battle, all felt
tbat we could stand tbat sort of thing looser
than tbe rebels could. Tbe troops began
preparing for the night. Dispositions for
tbe watch were made. Ibe generals retired

soldiers composed themselves and talked
cheerfully of the chances. Suddenly amid
tbe darkness, tbe old and too familiar rebel
charging yell was beard ringing out on tbe
right. It was a fierce, sudden, resistless on
alangbt on Sedgwick's unexpectinz lines.
The troops had been at work throwing op
nasty intrencbmeDts lor tne nigbt. . bey
mour's, Sbaler's and Neill'a brigades, thus
takeo at a disadvantage, gave way. Tbe
rest of tbe corps bore bravely tip, but the
extreme right was turned. - Our men fled in

Sedwick, however, did bis beat, and be is a

Copperhead .Meeting at Lexinston
Lexington, May 9. ;
The Copperhead Convention which' met
bere to-day, was inferior in numbers and
spirit to the vVolford meeting some weeks
ago. Ita master spirit was Judge Wm. B.
Kincaid, who presented a aeries of resolu
tions indorsing the Louisville, platform of
March 16lh, 1863, tbe Gothrie-Prentice
call, and pronouncing for McClellao as b
Presidential candidate.' Two hundred and
fifly-Bina delegates were appointed to the
Louisville Convention.'-""-' - v r -
Judge W. B. Kincaid, John P.- Huston,
Uenry Duncan, Jr.. D.C. Wickliffa and U.J
a. Prewett were appointed a Committee to
prepare ao address, setting forth the prin
ciples of Kentucky Conservatives.
After the routine of business was finished,
Lieut. Gov. Jacobs reviewed the rise and
progress of the rebellion and the policy of
the Administration, quoting largely from
Lincoln and Seward to prove that tbe Ad
ministration bad broken ita solemn pledges.
Referring to the Jackson toast, 'the Union,
it shall and must be preserved,' he said if
Jackson coold have foraeen the future and
the iccredible efforts of this false Adminis
tration to destrop tbe Union, be would bave
added, 'and tbe Constitution shall be pre
served.' lie had been called a traitor because be
did not indorse all the acts of the Admin
istration; because be would not trample un
der foot tbe Constitution as this most dam
nable Administration is attempting to do
He opposed putting negro soldiers in the
field,-because it was barbarous, and an actu
al recognition of their superiority over the
whites. If tbe negro saved Wbe nation, he
would establish bia claim to equal manhood
and civil rights with the whites, and would
Kentuckiana submit to thio? He would
fight tbe Administration - in a legal way
wben it goes beyond tbe Constitution, but
when it is sicking us into the nigbt of obliv
ion and destruction of civil liberty, be
would fight this b-se damnable Administra
tion. He would then call on every man
North and South to fight for tbe Union, and
tbey would be victorious in such a cause.
Those who expected him to bow the
pregnant knee to this fell and damnable
Administration knew not what sort of a man
be was. Li is principles were drawn from
tbe Declaration of Independence, and be
would die for them. The 8outh could be
conciliated by tendering together the olive
branoh aod.tbe sworJ. Elect McClellao and
be will restore the Union sentiment of tbe
South and end tbe war, but if then the
South refused conciliation, be would mass
tbe armies of the North, and overwhelm
the rebels in arms.
R. Hanson, Representative from Bourbon
county, and Dr. Sburrer, Representative
from Fayette county, followed Jacobs' one,
indorsing the Guthrie-Prentice movement.
Tbe Conservative meeting did not show the
strength or (be enthusiasm expected, al
though it was certainly Court day, and the
and tbe slavebolding strength of tbe coun
ty well represented.

To Qmeral Dix: . .
A dispatch from Gen. Sherman, received
at midnight, states we are fighting for the
possession of Rocky-faced Hide, and that
McPhersoo took Snake-creek Gap, and was
seven miles from Rosacea this morning.
Saturday tbeRebels were forend from Tun
nel Hill by Thomas, and took position at
Buz34rd's Roost, just north of DItoo.
'This represented as a very strong poaition
which Thomas was unable to drive the en

THE DUTT OF THE riOUB.
That a great struggle is about to take
place for the possession ot Richmond, is
conceded on all nanda. ibe enemy is
marshaling his exhorts on the Rppabnn
oock and the Peninsuie, and that a last des
perate effort will be made to overran Vir
ginia and occupy her ancient Capital, ia ad
mitted by the the enemy himself. What
then becomes tbe duty of the people of
Richmond in view of the mighty conflict at
band? It is evidently the same as that of
tbe commander of a man-of-war, wbo sails
ou t of port to engage tbe foes of b is flag in
mortal combat. Tbe decks are cleared for
action; non-combatants are ordered below
or asbore; tbe supply of ammunition ar.d
food is looked to, and a aort of prayer ut
tered that heaven will favor tbe right, and
protect tbe land and tbe loved ones, for
whom tbe battle is wazad. ...

"For the Bulletin.
Something for the People to Think of.
, Messrs. Editors: When I was a school
boy 1 was fond of Arithmetic, or what we
then called "Cyphering." Now I am ol3,
childish things, I suppose, occur to me.
For several says past I bave thought that
tbe people, not the abolitiooicta, ought to be
gin to make calculations how fast our coun
try . is running to ruin under the present
abolition misrule.
If it take three years to steal 200,000 ne- I
groes, how long will it take to steal four
million? Ana. 60 yrs.
As nejroes in this country, owing to their
being well , protected and well cared for,
usually double their numbers every twenty
years, (while tbe white not so well cared
for in general, double their numbers only
once in thirty years, tbe number at the
end of the aixty years, if none were stolen,
would be twelve million. But as four mil
lion are suppose! to be stolen during tbat
time, the number left would be eight mil
lion. If it take sixty years to steal four million
of negroes, how long will it take to steal
eight million? Ans. 120 yrs.
Admitting the natural increase as before,
and deducting those stolen, there will re
main at tbe end of this period forty million
of slavea. This is, perhaps, rooting out
slavery with a vengeance. Bat the question
then recurs, if it require 120 years to steal
eight million of negroes, how long a time
will it require to steal forty million?
Ans. 600 yrs.
Tbis subject might be pursued ad infini
tum but tbis is sufficient for illustration,
and as I am old and do not expect to live
balf that time I will leave it, and commence
another.
' If it costs tbe lives of one million white
men to steal 200.000 negroes, bow many
snch lives will it cost to steal foul million?
Ans. 20.000.000.
This portion of the matter might be pur
sued like tbe above, ad infinitum but it is
too appalling to think of. I will therefore
give only one or two modifications of it.
If it cost the lives of 500,000 white men
rum me iHonn to steal ziAJ.UU. negroes
from the South, how many such lives will
it cost to steal four million?
An3. Ten million.
According to the above calculation it will
require sixty years to do this, at the end of
which time, owing to the natural increase
of negroes, there will remain eight million
slaves. If then ten million white men from
the North are sacrificed to steal four mil
lion negroes from the South, how many
such lives will be sacrificed to steal eight
million. Ans. Twenty million.
Tbis subject might be be pursued ad in
finitum, but it is unnecesiary.
I will now refer to Dollars, which affect
most people more than the lives of their
neighbours and Iriends.
If it coat four billion dollars to steal 200 -
000 negroes, how much will it cost to steal
fourmillon? Ans. Eighty billion.
Tbis is about Eve times tbe araoant of all
the property, real and personal, of the old
vuucu oiaies oi jodu, ana over seven
times the amount of that of the present
United States. Now, wbo is goiog to foot
tbe bill?
Tbe above are all old fash ion M plain
'Rule of Three' problems, which any school
boy or plain old farmer caa solve on a mo
ments rtfloction. , .
Bnt there is another problem tbat I hav
been unable to solve. It is this,: If the
original "sixty days" or "breakfast spell" has
oot cided in three years, in what time will
it end?
I suppose tbis belongs to abolition or
"loyal" arithmetic. If some of our aboli
tion '-loyal" friends will give a solution of
this problem through your paper, I have n

Peace Meeting in Hancock County, Ky .
Hawksvillb, Kt., April 30, 1864.
. The meeting waa organized, there being
goodly number of the country people of both
political parties in this place, by calling
Geo. W. Williams to the chair, who, in ao
cepting tbe honor, took occasion to explain
the object of the meeting io a calm and de
cided tone, making, for the occasion, a very
appropriate and touching speech. ..
After which, R. Y. Bosh, Esq., arose and
offered the followiog resolution, accom
panied with some suitable remarks:
Resolved, Tbat the experience of the last
three years is satisfactory to us tbat the Un
ion cannot be restored by tbe sword; where
fore, we are earnestly in favor of the em
ployment of some peaceful mode of restora
tion or settlement, of our uobappy difficul
ties, and are therefore opposed to a further
prosecution of the war.
It was also moved and carried tbat there
be a mass meeting on tbe 4th Monday in
May, and that all peace men and war men
are invited to attend.
It was also moved that a copy of these
proceedings be made up and furnished for
publication tbe Louisville Democrat, with
tbe requestothat all papers friendly to the
movement be requested to copy.
R. U. Cox, Secretary.
Who is Guiltt of Dispnion. A short
time since, in reply to an article from our
neighbor of the Journal, we noticed tbe dis
union sentiment. in New England, going as
far back as 1796, and especially the assem
bling of the Hartford Convention under
Massachusetts auspices. That Massachu
setts and a majority of New England bave
always been d'sloyal.is an historical fact too
strong tor denial. In 1845, tbe Legislature
of Massachusetts declared a war with Mex
ico canse for a dissolution of tbe Union, aud.
f'so facto, the Union was dissolved, and
Massachusetts must revert to her original
rights as an independent State. In 1856,
eleven years after, the same party that had
warred against the Union, from the admin
istration cf Washington to tbe administra
tion of Buchanan, passed the following
series of resolutions:
Resolved, 1st. That the necessity of dis
union is wrilted in tbe whole existing char
acter and condition of the two sections of
tbe country, in their social organization, ed
ucatiou, habits, and laws, in tbe danger of
our white citizens in Kansas, and our color
ed men in Boston; in the wounds of Chas.
Sumner anl the laurels of his aasailants;and
no government on earth was ever strong en
ough to hold together such opposing forces.
2d. That this movement doesnot mere
ly see disuoioa, but the more perfect nin'on
of free States by the expulsion of the slave
Stales f torn the confederation in which they
have ever been an element cf discord, danger and
disgrace.
3J. That it is not pmbabTe that the
ultimate severance of the Union will be an
act of deliberation or discussion; but that a
long period of deliberation and discussion
must precede it, and here we meet to bcin
the work.
4th. Tbat henceforward, instead of re
garding it as an objection to ant sys

says: "Ihere is reason to believe, from
dispatches already received since our first
extra to-day, tbat Lee was forced to fight at
Spottsylvania, on Sunday, and was again
repulsed and compelled to retreat. An
other statement is that General Grant had
flanked bim and sot between tha
and Richmond.
Lee's report of the battle of Thursday
last, published in the Richmond papers, has
been telegraphed to this city by Gen. But
ler. Lee says that Gen. Grant attacked
him, which contrsdicts tbe report received
bere that Lee made the attack upon our
army. Lee employs this language "Thank
God. we have repulsed the attacks of the
enemy." rie states that Longstreet is bad -ly

Moral Character. There is nothing
which adds so much to the beauty and

It is his wealth his influence his life. It
dignifies him in every station exalts him

every period of life. Such a character is
more to be desired than everything else on
