ft) conducting the war, our Osrernmsat has observed
a degree of magnanimity towards the enemy which
cannot foil to came np to the requirements of the strict
est Christian rale. The right cheek has been indely
smitten, and the left has been turned to tbe same en
emy, who has net foiled to infliet donble blows. While
wa have fought on the defensive, and while prisoners;
of war from the enemy’s ranks have motived the most
favorable treatment that we have hern able w afford
which hAsibeqaenily depnVed our own wounded sol
diers of comforts and attentions due them, our enemy
has porsacdm widely different course. They have cor,-
fcaed our citizens and soldiers in filthy hostile-, where
they have been permitted to starve and freeze. In
many instance# the* have been murdered in cold blood j
which was merciful treatment when compared to what
many who have been permitted to fiv« bare endu ed
at the bands of oar mawnfMkmb foe. Ourlandkas
been traversed by incendianes, private property and
sacred rights bavv been violated, and tiur slaves have
been stolen, armed and turned against their owners —
These Inhuman crimee have been committed against
us. and have been met only by soft answers for so long
a time, and philanthropy and forbearance have been
se tcnsrlonsly observed, all without say eoasiderafion
from the esemy. except increased malignity, t-at the
mo t rigid stickler for the strict observance of tbe
meekest principles of Christianity, cannot foil to hold
the South acquitted of any charge of rashness, if she
should adept the policy of punishing, to the extent of
her ability, every encroachment upon her natural rights
by ber unnatural foe. We are proud to know that oar
Government, after mofe than two years of bloody war
prostituted natioo, and an arm* destitute of priaciple
cia hold spelean hand* before the world, and show
a record ol magnanimous philaothropby that aiU claim
the admiration of all succeeding Christian nations
While are arc gratified with the elevated moral post-
Uoa which our Covet ament sustains, we have no con
cept too ef any obligation, human or diviae, which-re
quires a continued aobmisaien to the greas indignities
which have been thrust apoa us. Indeed il would
seem that if wc wcinld fartiu vbrtnc nourish the eqsirik
chivalry, and cherish the principles which are the
birthright of every true man; we must exercise that
first, strongest and fost instinct, Which God has planted
deep in tbe nstnre of every species of animat'd, creo-
tnres to prompt then to seWdefeute, br the use of
every means that ts pot in their power. Tmthcr delay
to assert our natural rights and dignity, afid to avenge
the eraekies perpetrated on] our own people, would
amonnt to amsbandonraect of the great principles
wb'ch give character to men and nations.
What shall we lose by meeting our enemies in the
manner which their contact has eslongceurteJ?—
Fromrihe first of the wmr,withnfewisoUtad exceptions,
the Yankees bare continually r.fused to be governed
by the national rules of whr, or the common principles
of civilization, except where necessity or'adrantage
has prompted them. Alt their acts prove to ns coac’a-
sirely tint they will continue to damage US ia every
way that they dare to; nor can refolitfob. increase the
Keen?,- which they hare assumed ts commit their
heathenish depredations on onr country; and whils wc

Lee ia conducting his operations on the Rap

in the Yankee reports ol the battles around
Vicksburg the highest compliment—I believe
the only compliment yet tendered to Southern
troops by the mendacious press ol New York,-
has been given to Georgia? The New York
Times, the vilest of the abolition inccndaries,
keeps ait able correspondent with Grain’s army.
In his account of ono' of the battles of Chant-
non Hills or Baker's Creek, truth has torerd
lint to record the following tribute to the hero
ism of Georgians t
The rebels who on ibis occasion were com
minded by Gen. Pemberton iu person, fought
with, the most reckless gallantry. They were
mainly romposed of Georgians, and were it not
that their efforts were expanded in the cause ol
treason, Georgia would luro reason to remem
ber with lasting prido the day upon which her
aons lought and died on Champion Hills. One
entire regiment posted in snpport of a series oi
batteries on the cresr, refused.to retreat’ when
Hoveycame upon them, ' ami were to a man

1 have jnst learned "that Gon. Anger’s divis
ion was engaged with the enemy yesterday on
the plains,' about four miles from the outer
works of Port Hudson, and that after A fight
of nine hours’ duration the latter were driven
within the eutrcnchmenls, having suffered n
severe defeat, and a loss of many kiMed, and
wounded nud pt'-oners. Our forces occupied
the ground last night, and have renewed the
attack this morning. Oar troop3 are said to
have behaved, splendidly. General Sherman
hea moveil his division, by means of trans
ports, about fanrlesn mPes up the river, in or
der to operate directly against the right ll itik
of the enemy. These attacks are merely a
commencement of the grand affair that fo to
come off to-uoirow or Monday. General
Banks, with the main body, ia yet to be heard
from, and, from what I can learn of h*s move

of the enemy's forces t > escape cnplnre or de

Sinking uf II. S. Cluitboat Olnclnuslt,
Cairo, June 2, 1863.
A dispatch brut from Vicksburg on Ihe 27ih
tilt., confirms the report of the sinking of the
gunboat Cincinnati by shot from (he renal bat
teries She was ordered to move down the riv
er, and whan turning the point was opened on
by several batteries from above which were sup
posed to have keen silenced. She maniged to
return In a point just above the upper ball cry,
where she sunk in fifteen feet of water. From
fifteen to forty are reported killed, drowndeif
and wounded. ,
The following description of the gunboat Cin-
riunati is given ih the Herald.
We htvo information that the IT. 8. gunboat
Cincinnati has liecu sunk by the rebel batteriea.
at Vicksburg. She was one of the seven built
at the commencement of tho war, at St. Louis
Her dimension I were aa follows :
Length, 175 feet; breadth, 51J feel ; depth of
hold, °ix feet; draught of water; with every-
iliing.on bdatd, six feet three inches; thickness
ot bottom plank, five inches ; thickness of li
ning plank, three inches; thickness ol side
plank, lour inches; thickness of deck plank
four and a half invites ; flooring timber, te.n in
ches square. She was flit bottomed and with
out a keel, like all vo-mcI.s used in navigating
ihe shallow waters ol Western rivers. Her sides
spread cu: from tbe bottom at an angle of foiiy-
tire degrees from the perpendicular until ihe
detk nas reiehod when they lell in it tbe same
augle..
This arrangement was intended to secure tho
glancing of shot—those striking behw, the
-tack being deflected inter the water, while
those striking above would be throw u off into
the &■> and over the boat. Tbe sideS above
the main deck were called the casemates, and
this cremating was carried across tbe deck at
the bow and also at the fturn, presenting at
all parts the same angle. From the top of the
cw>ema'ea ihe upper deck was elevated about
seven feet almve the gun deck, and made proof
against any thing less than a twelve pound
shot. The forwardca-.'-matcs were pierced for
three guns, wete twenty-six inches in thick-
neon, nud plated with boiler iron two ami a
half inches thick. The after casemates were
pierced for two gnn9, an.I in thickness and
plating write similar to the forward ones. 'The
ride casemates were of timber; ten inches thick,
and, with the exception of sixty feet, were
plated with hall inch iron. These sixty feet
eaclocel the tp~.ee occupied by the engines,
and were covered two and a half inch iron,
whitft extended, two feet below the water.—!
Oas hundred ant twenty toes cf iron-were
used in building her: Thia peculiar construe
tion produced a craft similar to nothing else
afl -at, and resembles nothing on land except
a big turtle.
She ha l two independent engines, with cylin
detanf six feerstroke asl twenty-two inches
diameter. * Her wheel was placed a recess
ia the fftern of the boat, inside the caiaaiafrn 1 .
thereby insuring ita protection from shot and
shell- It was, with Ihe exception of the pad
dies, of iron, fine cost about $120,005, and

to the West.
He succeeded in satisfying Capt Allen of his
authority to drijw. these rations, and they wete
ccordingly delivered to. him.
AstSrwards he called upon Mayor Wilkins,
and stated that the 7th -Florida regiment would

Everything being arranged to the satisfaction of
