He has not time to be Christians,
he runs a very narrow chance Of being
saved!
Busy man! what has he tims for?-
Time 10 delve for gold and drive close
bargains! Time to wiring the purses of
the poor. and hoard the last worn cent
that he can grasp! Time to sell the
debtors farm on mortgage, and add the
proceeds to his money 10 the bank! Time
to collect the usury which has ruined the
man whom he has obliged ~ by lend
ing him a sum of money in necessity!
Man of business! you must needs, per-
haps, take time for earth, ere long, and
still more time for judgment!

leaving with proper care cleaner stubble than
it is possible to leave the old plan, with
out the use of the hand rake to follow the
cookers and haulers. 1t is for yon to decide
whether you wish to devote more of you II am pie

with the same man labour. which is and will
be scarce and high in this country. 10 far

my machines in grain, but believe them to be

Hg~N Notwithstanding the official denial
of the report that Fremont was to be su-
perceded by Gen. Wool, by the agent of
the associated press at Washington, our dis
patches from Fortress Monroe indicate that
the New York Herald, with its usual abili-
ity at nosing out government secrets, is on
the right scent in this particul ar.
Fremont may be rascal and an iDeom-
petent, but the Government should be vel l
assured of its evidence, for the case is to
be tried by a jury whose sympathies are

John NJ. Bolts is still living near Rich
mond. He takes no part in politics. Ste
phens. the rebel vice president has many
opponents, while jeff. Davis domestic enc
mics are exceedingly bitter, making up in
the intensity of their hate what they lack
in numbers. 1t is thought that Gen. Bragg,
who was appointed to succeed Walker in
the Secretaryship of War, will have to
give way in turn fer Gen. Bishop Polk
Altogether the Secession officials are in un-
comfortable positions.
On the 10th ult., Ship Island, one Of the
small islands which protect the steamboat
navigation between Mobile and New Or
leans, was evacuated by the rebels. This
is not far from Mississippi City, which is
said to be occupied by our troops. The
New Orleans Bulletin in mentioning the
abandonment of the important position, ex-
presses its regret, but says the step was
necessary. Our troops have since hoisted
the stars and stripes on the island.
The New Orleans Delta says the work OF
terrifying that city above Carrolton, is 60

the Sunday soldiers and others who
shirk from assisting in she preparations fol

A Reliable Statement Of the situation
i'm Southwestern Kentucky.

A Kentucky gentleman, in whose state
ments, the most implicit reliance may be
placed, but whose name is withheld for OBJ
vious reasons, has furnished us with the
following facts in relation to the secession
army, its whereabouts and condition.
Our informant states that he left Hop
kinsville, last Tuesday afternoon, at 3
o'clock. At that time, G, 900 rebel troops
composed of Tennesseeans, Mississippians
and Kentuckians, were encamped near
that town, under the command of Gen.
Buckner. Generals Helm and Allcorn, the
latter from Mississippi, were also in the
camp. The troops were half naked, poorly
supplied with tents, and without sufficient
number of wagons to carry the sick. They
were armed with shot-guns, old fashioned
rifles, with g. few q. S. muskets, forty of
which had been taken from the Union
Home Guards. This force had just arriv-
ed at Hopkinsville, and were nearly starv-
ed to death. 1t was found impossible to
procure meat, coffee or sugar for the troops
and even -four was very scarce. They
were not committing any outrages on the
property of Union men, for fear of driving
their Kentucky allies from their support
We are informed however, that Maj Breath
tits house at Hopkinsville, was ransacked
and rifsd, by a detachment of Buckner's
men. The rebels are reported to be dis
heartened and ready TO abandon their lead
ers. Unless they are speedily furnished by
the Southern Confederacy with provisions
and clothing, it is probable that they will
disband and return to their homes.
Our informant further states that from
his conversations with the officers, be is
convinced that a movement toward the
Ohio is not contemplated; that the rebels
are fearful that they win be defeated when
the Union men are reinforced and armed
So far as any attack upon this city is con-
cerned, he does not think it has ever oc-
Cured to an officer in the rebel camps.
In the skirmish near Henderson, last
Tuesday night, between body of Home
Guards and 500 rebels, the latter failed to
take the cannon as reported, and it is now
in the hands of the Union men who have
secreted it.
We are further informed that thousands
Of Union men, are ready, at the proper time
to take up arms against the rebels. Th'
troops now in this city, with Col. McHen-
rvs and Col. Jackson's regiments, will form
the neuclens around which the Union mer
will rally.
From the above facts, we may conclude
that the enemy's forces across the river
are in miserable condition for active ser
vice; that their number have been exagger
-ated; that they are disheartened and not en-
couraged by their late success, and that they
have no intention at present of coming t
the Ohio.

THE BOYS WANT TO " GO IN.

In company with Coils. Kimbail and
Wagner, this morning, we visited the 14th
and 18th Indiana regiments, and notwith-
standing the boys were out in the pelting
storm all day and night, and wringing wet
and miserably clad, when asked, How did
you fare last night, boys ~ the universal
reply was, " frst-rate," "pretty well,
&" can't complain" AS we passed along,
the boys frequently inquired, Colonel,
when are you going to let US bag the Ar
kansaw and Tennesseeans ? F" f" Colonel, our
boys are freezing TO go in" A number Of
the men who were without shoes, hearing
of scout, came in and begged their officers
to provide them with number thirteen
shoes 1.-THE largest size), saying they could
stuff rags in the toes, and make them an
swer. So anxious are they to " take the
secesh, they willingly turn oat barefooted,
always returning to camp with the arms
and accoutrements of several of the enemy.
Ask the boys what they did with their prls-
oners, the reply invariably is, we saved
'em." They are determined not to feed the
enemy if they can help it.

To-day, by contract, the seven gunboats

an open stem or recess, and the wheel works
within the recess. They will be pierced for
twenty guns each, and will carry sixteen
The guns will be placed on the main deck )
three on the bow, three astern, and FIVE on
each side. The boats will be bulk-headed
into compartments to prevent the casualty
Of sinking in the case of damage in any
particular part. The boats are to be covered
with sheeting iron two-and-a-half inches
thick. An experiment which was tried
with riAed cannon upon these plates, plac-
ed at an angle of forty-fve degrees shows
that at eight hundred yards there was no
effect upon the plates except tearing out
some bolts. At a distance of Eve hundred
yards an indentation of about one inch
deep was made in the plate, but without
breaking it 10 the slightest degree. A shot
was then made at one hundred yards dis
lance at plate at right angles with the
range, and the ball was broken to pieces
without fracturing the iron in the least.
