Well, it will Happen.

OF course it will-what? The non
receipt Of important intelligence, be-
cause everybody expects it. Such is
the case with most of things in this
world, and we should make ourselves
contented, and take things as they
come. We cannot say that we ex-
pect any startling intelligence from
any particular point, however, the
supposition is that something i'm
portant must soon take place, thus it
is that all. flock around the stage on
its arrival, anxiously- making inqui-
ries Of passengers about the news
We noticed an article clipped from a
New York paper. which insinuates
that a mammoth. peace meeting will
probably be held in the city of New
York, sometime during next month
or the month after, to be under the
management Of Messrs. Benjamin and
Fernando Wood. This grand meet
ing to be, is spoken Of in glowing
ter,ns, and it is said will settle the
pending difficulties. This, though,
we think is canard. The influence
Of Fernando Wood in that particular
section is. beyond doubt, very great,
and should there be any truth about
his undertaking the step, we have an
idea that the result will be the down,
fall of the Lincoln party, for really
such u adetestable party must be short
lived. Tune will prove the fallacy
of their doctrine.

presume ere this you will have
news of fight at this point. which
occurred last night on Santa Rosa
Island, upon which Fort Pickens Is
situated. A detachment of 1850 men
landed on the island eight miles he,
low Pickens, at o'clock in the morn
! ing, and made the distance from there
to the fort by half-past three O'Clock
completely surprising BILLY Wilson, s
Zouaves," whom we cut to pieces ard
drove flying pell NELL into the fort,
we burning their tents, quarters, com
missary. etc, killing within the neigh
borhood Of $50, and throwing every
thing into the utmost contusion.-
THE loss on our side is about thirty
killed and wounded, among our killed
was one Captain and one Lieutenant.
! We captured Wilson'S Major. and
another commissioned officer. We
also killed several of their officers.
Our only object in undertaking the
fight was, to retaliate for the burning
our schooner and dry dock, and l
think we accomplished what we went
after. We spiked nine of their can
non. This l think abundantly
avenged any insult offered US here.
Our General commanding pro-
nounces it brilliant affair, and high
ly compliments the troops for their
bravery and determination.

and goes right to your heart. and
don't take any money out OF your

Dear News:
We are having a Jolly good rain
tonight, but l cannot say that it will
benefit us much, as our planters are
busy now saving peas, which are very
abundant: perhaps we may have
rain enough to raise Red River. and
Eshow us a chance to get provisions
from New Orleans, which we sadly
need as we are out Of all kinds Of
groceries. Sending to Shreveport is
rather expensive. l suppose that
but few boats would come in the
river now, even if it was in good
boating order, as there is no cotton
to take out. Our roads to the river
appear to be enjoying long rest !:
the first they have had for many
years, at this season, they have the
privilege Of washing themselves in as
many holes as they choose, and no.
