Illinois volunteer Lish up in The pinnacle OF
fame ana rendered it immortal.
The troops here, however, do not think
they have started on the wrong track but
the misfortune is that they are not as far on
their Journey a. they want t. ne They know
that but Few hours, al fcrthest, is necessary to
bring them face to face with the enemy, who
is continually beaping insults upon Jhem and
branding them as towards. What is more,
there is a confidence manifested by every man
in the brigade, as we'll as by their commanders,
hat with the reserved force, now in action, in
illinois, Wisconsin and the several western
States, they could accomplish an easy victory
over the insolent and traitorous horde, who
now bid them defiance, and plant the stars and
stripes at the mouth Of the Mississippi.
Yet, we all know that there is an old and
well-tred veteran at the helm, who is far bet
ter prepared to cope with existing difficulties,
and conduct the war to a salts actory and
speedy termination, than the many who com
plain SO bitterly Of his conduct in this matter,
That to eonfide in him and execute bis orders,
is the surest way for the soldier to accomplish
the object of his ambition. But the above re-
marks reflect the true state OF The case with
the troops st this noinf, and recommend them
selves to the consideration Of the powers that
be.

ready 10 help form a strong battery at that
place "when they get thing fixed"
The reports from oddard county, Missouri,

centrating Ihere, proves to be false, the main
body being a considerable distance back, and

to be Chalk Bluff.
A singular and somewhat serious ARRAY took
place Saturday night, at Birds Point. As
one Of the guard was pursuing his accustomed
duties, be was attacked ~ a man who in
sfantly attempted 10 shoot him with a pistol.
Failing to accomplish his object by this means,
be grappled with him and attempted to stab
him with knife Gu ting the guards arm In a
dangerous manner. By this time, the alarm
having been given, several Of the other guards
appeared on the spot, but the assas in had
