Letter From J. W. Jenkins, Esq. Washingtox, May 15th, 164. K'litoTt Palladium : The "New Cattle Courier' of the Tth of April published a letter from the lion. (?) Geo. W. Julian in xrhich Le professed to give the motives which actuated me in writing my letter of the 15th of March, and published ia the Palladium of tbe 22d.

I am sorry to take rip ?o ranch of yonr lesL lu ic-iter, Hint, nut iui iuk ii that silence on my part might be taken as an evidence that his assertions were I true I need scarcely reply. My letter was written the 15th of j March, hut did not leave Washington uni til the lUh and was not published until the 22 . No one saw the letter until it I went into the hands of the publisher. Yet :' fice diiys after my letter was written and j two rf-iw.t before it was published, Mr. Julian writes that my letter is --a stiing 1 of mean and malicious falsehoods" the : extraordinary impetuosity on the part of , I Mr. Julian to make this wholesale denial f,f the charges I brought against him. shows conclusively that he has no regard for trutli and that he is willing to say, or do anything which will gain him a vote. Why deny my statements before their publication ? because Mr. Julian supposed by publishing the fact of my imprisonment as charged, coupled with the that he refused to bail me out it would destroy th effect of my b-ttcr as I could not reply before the election, and he would thus have accomplished his object. Tho truth is Mr. Julian felt guilty and feared I had. or would write such a letter, hence his haste to make this broad de- ; letter as tlio aiove ; tut .Mr. Julian win j find it a more dillicult task to prove its I truthfulness. If he never placed his j name on the books of the Chase Club as j a member of that association, let him ; produce the aflidavit of the secretary ! that his name is not and never was there. and I will pubk'clv acknowleJce uiv&clf a jjar .Mr. Julian dr.rt not attempt to prove a single statement in my letter to be false, 0 J As to the cause, of my arrest and impris onment, Mr. Julian when he wrote his letter, knew I was then at liberty, and that the charges against me were not sustained. Mr. Julian was never asked to bail me out of l'rison and consequently could not have refused. I determined on publishing my letter as soon as I found he w as pursuing a two faced policy an.1 before my arrest. So far as the -'pood nirn" who told him I irs an "unmitigated scamp" is concerned, I have onlv to sav that I have demanded their names from him and he refuses to give them, whih is proof that he is either ashamed of the character of the men himself or else it is a lie of his own, manufactured out of whole cloth. As to my character and standing as a business man in this city upon which Mr. Julian's letter was evidently inten 1ed to reflect, I submit the following let tcrs as a complete vindication, Wah lraBTUEvr, W assc;ton CiTV.i JtsK1Sj,t E.ashmm. t.

attorney. Notwithstanding all tLis, Mr.1 Julian w ould have the people believe me a tuirf and svirciier. and worse thr.n all, that I emb&zlid money Lclor.sing to sol-liers. So far from ever having swindled a jollier; I have never even taken a fee from private soldi-'rs for any I nsiness I have done for them. I make : my money oil of parties better alls to pay than thos,who are toiling an 1 fiht- j ing fuEour country for thirteen dollars ' per month. Mr. Julian has never' shown his boasted love for the soldier in any other form than mere empty words, which do b-.t little to soothe the dying hours of the Nation's heroes. If the , friends of Mr. Julian can she v where he ever gave to exceed Un diMars for the benetlt of the soldiers they will make a discovery for which they should be entitled to a patent. .So long as my character and reputation remains uuullied in the estimation of all good men. I care but little for tht opinion of Mr. Julian and his hirelings, except upon the old maxim that '-it i better to have the good will, than the ill will of a dog."' I have seen another short article concerning me in a little, dimutivc bhect. published by Ike. Julian in C'entreville. another of the numerous Julian family; but I cannot stop now to kick every dirty cur that may l ark at me. Hastily, ours. .1. W. JENKINS.

Hypocritical. Trofessirig to be in favor of Mr. Lincoln for re-election to the Presidency having his name at the head of their editorial columns, some of the Julian organs in this district, are advocating the postponement of the National Convention, ostensibly for "larm-my" : but with the secret hope that the plans of the Prcsi- ' dent will fail, and that defeat w ill overtake our armies, in order that ''prudence and self preservation," a lu Julian, should . prompt the Convention "to select some other standard bearer." These execssively rurm advocates of the re-election of honest Old Abe, remind us of the solicitude Joan manifested towards Amasa "Art though in health my brother "f And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him ; but Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joah's hand; so he smote him ! therewith in the fifth rib." , I'nderthe dictation of Mr. Julian, who was a member of the Chase Club, and CliTFO Executive Committee of Washing ton City, (of secret circular notority. ) his organs i:t this district are now trying to : undo all they have done towards assist ing him to carry out his hypocritical professions of friendship towards Mr. Lincoin, .luring the nominating canvass. With the President's name yet floating at their mast heads, it would not do for them openly to repudiate him. The sneaking, hypocritical, covert, contemptible character of their master, is the pattern of their strategy : Say they : "We have never doubted Mr. Lincoln's honesty but it's very improper to continue tho vat amount of patronage in the same hands! We have never doubted Mr. Lincoln's honesty but he is so Hind to the public good that he bore with Ibiel McClellan, ami kindred spirits for many months of doubt and gloom 1 We have never doubted Mr. Lincoln's honesty but our dearly beloved master. Geo. W. Julian, together with a powerful party in the I'nion ranks, are npjosed to Mr. Lincoln's re-nomination! No. no ; we have faith enowih in honest Old Abe but should "any other man" be selected, harmony would be ltr secured, and we'd have tho satisfaction of doing our master's bidding, and supporting a man more after our own heart." If these hypocrites are Mr. Lincoln's friends, he may well exclaim : "Save me from fuch friends; aud I'll take care of my enemies !" JC -i?" And George sail: "Let by gones be by-gones." and ever since, his family organ at Centerville has contained from three to six columns of concentrated blackguardism of Gen. Meredith and his friends, gleaned from the other Julian organs of the district, under the head of Nominating Ueminiscenses"! Among Other endearing epithets, well calculated to tiilf "by gones ba by-gones," and bring about an era of good, kind, genial, social and brotherly feeling, we notice the 'Delaware Free Press' styles those who supported Gen. Meredith in Old Wayne, "political scoVNtntLs"! at?" Wc were somewhat surprised and pained with one remark of the Ttleram, in its strictures "on the slips printed and sent, postpaid, by the "New England Loyal Publication Society," to Western Newspapers, when it says that they are not worth anything. We have found them exceedingly nseful. The paper on which they are printed is of No. 1 quality, and as there is a blank on one side, it serves U3 a most excellent purpose for writing cur editorirls on. and we'd feel ourselves very ungrateful were we not to thank the Society for furnishing ns paper for that object, and to request it to continue its favors. They are esceeJingly handy for this object, as ;rell as for wrapping-paper, and, having a pretty good supply on hand we hope we ahall not exhaust the pile, before we receive a new lot. . 3T The Richmond Enquirer admits heavy loss in battle with Butlerlast week, and foots it rp 1, ?.

I found your favor of the tltli inC urging the forwarding of . reinforcements to the greatest possible extert I can well appreciate your in tii-aUi anxiety, but you will have seen that the very thing you suggest is Knag done. ; The campaign of Lieutenant General Grant, now in progress, must be regarded as one of th-- tii-st important andstnpendf'.! of which history makes men tion. tnkini: into consideration the great n Timbers of bc-th armies, the character of the trooj. t';et or.ntiy to operate in, and the vast results depending It was my fortune to be vt ith Ger.er:d Grant from the commencement of the movement, the 4th of this nnnth, fir i z' th ? sis: -lays of battle, and int the seventh, when I left, as the Nearer of inportant dispatehe--from the General to the War Department. I cannot pretend to give you, in the limits ..f a LaM v letter, any jnst idea, of ; the great movements and battles of the ; six days I witnessed. The experience of more than a lifetime were crowded into these eventful and excitinir days. 1 arrived at Gen. Grant's hend prirter-. at Culpepper C. II. Vu.. on Tuo lae aftctrnoon. M-.t-l-it',4. So we!! had the .eiu-r:d guarded his great secret, that hardily an o.llcer. an 1 none of the troops knew when the movement was going to be made. After dark on that night, the orders were given to move at precisely midnight. So quietly and stilly was everything done, that the people of the village knew nothingof What it was their astonishment to find that our whole army had disappeared, ns it" by magic. The great thing was to seize the prop er fords, ;iud get the army seros the kapidatt before Lee could interfere t-. resist the crossing of the river. So completely was the rebel General deceived as to where we intended to cross, that by Wendesday night the entire army ot tho Potomac was. safely over, while Burnsidc's corps ( not belonging to the Potomac army ) was coming up as fast possible. His first troops come up to the river early Thursday morning. Lee. finding Grant on the move, "onw ard to Pichiiiond." by the lower fords of the Kapidan, was obliged to come out from his entrenchments at "Mine P iri" :u:d attack on Grant's think in order to pre vent our forces getting betwen him ;'nd Itichmond and light him on eq-iai ground. The two armies come together in the "Wilderness" about noon Thursday. May "tth. General Grant's orders were to attack the enemy instantly at every point where he appeared. By three o'clock in tho afternoon the lines of battle w ere formed along flow-hole line, and both armies heavily engaged. Both sides attacked with great fury along the tntireliue, but so dense was the wilderness, and so thick the undergrowth, it was absolutely impossible to see anything of the battle at any point. The enemy knowing the ground, where it was best to attack, lie commenced early his old tactics, by massing his force upon a particular part of our line. It was Hancock's position ; on our left, which it was necessary for ' him to win, as he (Hancock) held the road towarl Richmond, and with him once driven from that position, our army would be at great disadvantage. Long street and Hill's corps pitched i::tr- Hancock with groat impetuosity, .about 4 i o'clock in the afternoon, with the full expectation "f driving him awy, and getting possession of the covo'o l road. But Hancock was equal lo the occasion. Y ith several members of General 1 rant's stall', I rdo out to where- Hancock was at the very height of the battle, n:vl never did n soldier meet an attack with more courage, coolucs- and -skill, ri pell ing every assault upon his Hues with great slaughter. As we rode back to the headquarters, some two miles, the road was literally filled by our w ounded soldiers, making their way back to the hospital"", and it was a most ghastly and heart rending spectacle The great number who fell on that field h-l-l of the desperate struggle that had taken place. But the great light of all w as on the next day, Friday. The rebels opened on the right at 4:4." a. m . and our attack along the whole line began at " o'clock precisely. Hancock went in on our left with the dash of courage w hich belongs to him and which hits rendered his name immortal. He attacked with unsurpa.ss ed fury, and drove the enemy tor a mile and a half, taking one. line of works and capturing many prisoners and several flags. Theeueny finding his right likely to be turned by Hancock's masterly attack, saw that his salvation depended upon pushing Hancock and turning l,im. At about four o'clock, i m , Lee egain massed his forces for a last an 1 grand assault. It came, and it was terrific. The rebels seem to have staked all on that attack up, up. up. they pushed on on our columns, which, overpowered by numbers, w ere slow lv crow. led hack contesting every inch of ground. Falling back gradually, our sol-liers got to their rille-pits. The timbers have been cutdown in their front, so they can have a fair shot. On came the enemy, flushed with the maddened hope of certain success a rebel color-bearer advances clean up to the rifle pit and plants his standard detiently on the top. Then rise up our waiting hosts an-1 pour such a streatn of death and distraction into the advancing ranks of the enemy that he falter, halts, and falls back: hut not until he had broken over one portion of our lines. Only a small force got over and was speedily driven back, and then the whole mass finally retired before the unrelenting bravery of our men, leaving his dead and wounded upon the field. It wa In this fight, on our left, that the brave, the noble, the chivalrous Wadsworth f 11. in the thickest of the contest, after having two horses shot under him. While the enemy were thus pushinz Hancock. Bnrnside. with two divisons of his corps, w.13 striking him in his f!ank and rear. Warren was also fightirg in the front, and the heroic Sedgwick was attacking on the right. So all around there was the most desperate and determined fighting, hut the enemy failing to get any advantage till just at night, they suprised an-1 drove a brigade which hel 1 our extreme right This misfortune was soon reparei by the prompt and soldierly action of General Wright, who stopped the adrance of tbe enemy and drove hitn back. rptnrfng qui?? mm-

her of prisoners. This was the great day of the battles of the Wilderness." only a few of the incidents of which I have t v:e'e 1 upon. Our troops, as a general thinir. fought with unsurpassed bravery, an I our immense losses of pflloers tt Id how much they had exposed themselves, and wh:H jrodigies of valor they displayed. , On Saturday there was not so much fighting, out yet quite heavy on some parts of the line, kept up by the enemy t.v conceal his movement. I'tiable to drive ns back or to stop our progress, he found unless he started, we should get ahead of him and get between bim and IJichmond. Whether the enemy started or not. Gen. Grrnt w as determined to move his army towards the rebel capital, and get in Lev's rear. His army was to move as s.o:i as dark Saturday night, hut the enemy fearing this, it appears, had starTed many hours before. Warren's corps t-'ok the advance for a night march on the w ay to Spotts lvani.-i Court House. e lgwivk's corps took another road further to the left, and Burnsidc's still another one upon which was our vast aunt train. Hancock came last, ns the re..r guard. I accompanied Gen. Grant and staff on this march, and w e arrived at "To bi s Tavern"' alntut 1 or - o'clock in the morning, w here we hauled up and reinainel till about s o'clock, and then went to l iiiev -Branch Church and established headquarters. About two and a half miles south of Spottsly vauia C. H.. Sunday morning. Warren encountered I.ongtreet's corps, which had got in ahead of him. He imT.icdiataly attacked, but rebel reinforce ments came in faster than ours. There was heavy righting all day. and our losses w ere very serious. V e were not enabled to get ahead much on Sunday. On Monday there was much skirmishing along I he line, but the main fighting w as done by Hancock, w hh crossed the river Po. and obtained what he supposed to be a strong position, but which, front an unknown b.-iid iuie liter, turned out not to be so id liable. On Tuesday morning heavy skirmishing was begun by our troops from one end of the line to the other. A little after midday, thinking that Hancock had got himself into a had position by crossing the Po, Lee massed a cry superior force to attack him. Hancock, seeing what was coming, qnictly retired o this side of the Po, an I took up a new position. H re the enemy ma 1.' one of his most teniae charg.-s upon him. which we not onlv repulsed, but, in retain, charged the i iHiiiv with uus-.irpasvd vehemence, piling up his dead ill heaps, and nearly annihilating Ileth's rebel division. Or ders had been given early in the day for a geuejal attack at ." o'ciock in the afternoon, but the attack on Hancock delayed this grand movement till about a quarter to 7 Then began the as-atdt which old of fioers and soldiers tell me was without a parlallel in this trsr. No language can give any i b-a of that dreadful charge of our forces on the enemy's lines of defense. The salvos of artillery, the ten iie roll of musketry, the shouts of our own bravrh carted soldiers a-s they rushed to the deadly breach, rising above all the din of battle, made an impression which t an never be etraced. This continued on our center and part of our left till darkness closed in upon the bloody scene. Our troops had driven the enemy and carried his tirst line of works, and as we turnc-d to 1 i le back to the headquarters the shouts of our victorious heroes were still ringing in our ears. In this charge Wright, on the left, bad captured an entire rebel brigade of prisoners and three guns; but in the melee and confusion some of the prisoners got away, and we could not bring oil' the guns. B it after the battle had dosed in the front, Bnrnside wns moving bin forces upon our extreme left upon the right of the enemy, pushing him back vigorously till ten o'clock at night, when lie found himself within one quarter of a mile of Spotts 1 vania (.'out House. Thus ended the gn at work of Tuesdat-, a real and substantial victory, inspiring ourotlicers and soldiers with renewed confidence. The enemy was not only beaten and driven, but his losses were vastly heavier than our own. (f the fighting since Wednesday morning. I can give no personal description of, but it has been one continued success, but purchased by the most desprate exertions, and the most superhuman courage and pcrsistance of our troops. When 1 left the fronton Wednesday every one seemed to feel that the great crisis Pad approached, and that our success was certain. All were in the best spirits, but yet mourning f r the many brave men who bad fallen. No casualties had happened to Gen. Grant or his staff, so many of whom are from the State of Illinois. Even if I had time to write further, I could find no language to measure the estimate in which I hold the generalship of General Grant. This campaign will stamp him ns one of the greatest military men the world has ever produced. And as for General Meade, he has proved himself a worthy second of our great Illinois hero, a great executive commander, a man of coolness:, courage, skill and resource. Gen. Grant is having every possible support. Twenty-five thousand troops have already gone from here to reinforce him, and his communications are well open so he can pet further supplies The loyal people of the country can now breath more freely. Yours truly. E. B. Washbvkxb.

r ; Randolph Journal--JenW!ra's Letter. The cavalier manner in which the Journal treats J. W. Jenkins, Esq who desired room in that paper for a communication in reply to a letter from Hon. O. W. Julian"" in regard to a personal attack on the? former, w ould be amusing were tt not characteristic!) contemptible. Tha editor evidently does not desire that his readers should see the truth. If odr recollection serves us, he published the substance of Mr. Julian's letter, and disparageingly contrast -1 Mr. J.s character with that of his bother, the Sheriff of Randolph e ; hut, for the reason that Mr. Julian's letter was no . published verbatim in his pa;cr, he declines to admit an answer! The pious seallowag of the Winchester Journal." as Parson Brownlow calls him. notwithstanding Mr. Jenkins's letter of March 1 which first appeared in the Palladium of March '22, (exposing G. W. Julian's Chase Lincoln duplicity and double dealing. ) was notice 1 and commented on by all of his liine organs in this district, now avers that he does "not think it ever elicited ti.v pjrticvla uttinHon frvm any on.'.''" Deponent further sat s, that said letter carried its own answer along with it"! To be sure It did; for it furnished palpable evidence of its truthfulness. The infernal frauds practiced in Randolph county by the partisans of Mr. Julian the figures on which I were produced by the Tthyram carries conviction as "itsown answer along with it," even to the seared conscience of tha Journal editor. In his attempts to laugh it off, the grin assumes a ghastly appearance and comes out of the wronj; side of his month tw isting it awfully awry. We ask our readers' attention, and that ! of the editor of the Journal to a communication from Mr. Jknkiss in to day's paper, ventilating "Hon." G. W. Julian's letter, reflecting on Mr. J.' private character. We think it lays the homtrn'Je M. ; C. out 'as cold as u w edge.'
