A de,nchmcn, returned ms, nigh, from
Gen. Lanes command, which had rived
at the National Bridge without encoun-
toring my serious obstacle, although the
guerrilas made their nppen rance on So
veral occasions in small numbers without
doing any harm TO our commands: sep
crate detachment composed mostly Of Opt.
Lewis company Of louisiana rangers was
firod into abou, six miles this side Of the
Bridge, Just as the company had been
formed, and unfortunately killed Lieut..
Kline, who was aiding in front Of the
company-he receiving two buckshot or
small balls in tho side Of the head, killing
him almost ins,a nta neously.
You will DO surprised whom toll you
that this detachment was scni back TO OBJ

arrival Of Gen. Lanes command at tho
Bridge a report was current that Cerro
Gordo had been fortified by tho guerrillas,
and was occupied by them in force. Pre-
parations wcro made to continue on and at
tack them, but upon inspection it was
found that the mon on an average had on
iy about eight cartridges each, and it was
impossible to continue with the prospect
Of fighting over two hundred miles Of tho
way without powder and shot. A reaui-
sition calling for 100000 rounds has been
filled to-day. and all spare troops Lousi-

this command (Gcn. Lane's) only took
about six days provisions along, and by

Truly this is a serious affair, and am sor.

guar as it is true. But the difficulty Of
transportation from this to the Bridge is
very great, and am told that Lieut.. Col.

subsistence to which she was driven to by tho
death Of her husband.
One evening way-worn traveller, armed
with bundle suspended from a cane, entered
the inn and asked for something to eat. His
dress was not calculated to impress a beholder
with any vast ideas of wealth. but rather of one
who lived by travelling on foot and begging a

Mrs P. cast glance at the traveller, and seeing
his shabby coat, formed pretty accurate esti-

NECESSITY FOR GooD MEMonT.--The Penn
sylvanan, in a recent labored defence Of the
British Free Trade Bill CONGO ted by the cabinet
officers Of President Polk and the ministers of
Quecn Victoria, makes of this following
classic, elegant and decorous language:
"Avaiiing themselves Of the peculiar and
pressing necessities Of the times they (the Man
ufacturers) had foisted upon the country the tar
f of 1912, that uncieanest ofai! the unlocked cubs
that has erer issued from the Legislative kennel.
So inordinate were the profits which they real
lied from this law, that i REQUIRED. on the part
of the people, ant's effort to wipe it from the

sxerted in its favor"

of "PoIk. Dallas and the Tariff Of 49, which
