The RIoekade of ,he Po,ouae.

The Richmond correspondent of the ". o.
Crescent in letter written on the 10th inst,
states that the Confederate States Battery OF
twenty guns st Transport is nearly completed
The work has been progressing slowly but
surely; the laborers sleeping in daylight and
working all night. The wood work is done
twenty miles off, and made ready, so that no
sound of the axe may warn the enemy's yes
sells, as they pass, of the preparations made
for them. At the time the letter was written
the guns except one were there, and in few
days 1t was expected that all would be in po-
sition. short time previously a steamer
with several gunboats passed within three
hundred yards of this formidable battery; Il
was deemed prudent not to fire on them. but
to let the Lincolnites remain In blissfuI io.
norance until the work is completed. The
Federals will soon, to their utter dismay. dis.
cover this battery, and cease to navigate the
Potomac.

/ The PUZZLED IRIsHMAN.-During our last
conflict with Great Britain, number of our
troops were engaged in repairing the fortifi-
cations of Niagara, and while so engaged the
enemy commenced pretty sharp fire, so that
it occupied the whole of the time of our
forces to keep on the lookout for the shots
of the enemy.
Finding that they did not make much
Roadway, they stationed a son of the Emer-
aid Isle to give warning when shot or she'll
was coming
This the sentinel faithfully performed, al
ternately singing out, ''shot, "shell )" "shot,"
''shell," until finally the enemy started a
congreve rocket, which Pat had never seen
before.
He hesitated, and seeing it elevate, he
shouted
''Shot. and be jabers the gun with it,"

A T. iegram was received in this city night
before last from New Orleans, stating that a
French War Steamer had entered the Missis-
sippi river. and was on its way up to New
Orleans We have no reason to doubt the
truth of The statement. We are not, however,
inclined to regard the fact as of much signif-
canoe. 1t was stated few days ago by the
Northern journals that the United States had
entered into arrangements with several of
the neutral powers OF Europe, whereby the
war vessels of those powers would be permit
ted to pass into the Southern ports unques-
toned, for the purpose of carrying in and
out their correspondence with their official
agents. The advent Of the French Steamer
NAV have relation to that business. Or it
may be that she entered fer necessary sup
plies, which would be entirely lawful. We
cannot consider it as any interference with
the blockade, and it only means that a
French war vessel has paid visit of pleas
ure or lawful business to New Orleans.

neutrality-suspicious. FooD FOR SCOUTS
The old historians and travellers, and Indian
fighters, tell us of an admirable aud easily
portable food. which the Red men carried
with them in their pouches on their hunting
and war parties. 1t was combination of
Indian meal and brown sugar, three parts of
the former to one of the latter, Drowned to-
gether over the fire. This food, in small guam
titles, not only sufficed to arrest hunger, but
to allay thirst. This is the famous sagamite
of the Red man. A few pounds in ones hay-
ersack would occupy little space, and would
serve for several days. Let our boys here
and there try the preparation in camp. and
learn the uses of the article before going on
march. Their friends might prepare sup
ply of it in the cities, and forward to the
camp; and if, upon experiment, it shall prove
palataDle, it may be prepared in any quanti-
ties. In the siege of Charleston, in 1880,
the people lived wholly on rice and sugar for
some weeks.-Ctas Mercury.

SPIRITED CAVALRY HoRsEs.-A writer, who
processes to know the points of good "war-
horse" thus speaks of these animals:
Dull sluggish horses can never be trained
to the point requisite for an efficient cavalry
horse. Almost as much depends in sue
cessful charge of cavalry on the horse as on
the man. Indeed, it may be doubted whether
raw recruits mounted on well-drilled horses
would not be more serviceable than veteran
troops mounted on clumsy, 'low-spirited'
animals. At the battle of the Pyramids the
horses of Muzad Bey's cavalry charged re-
peatedly in squadrOns after their riders were
killed. So did The French horses at Water
loo on the English, under the same circum-
stances.
Aud after the Marquis Romano was COM
peIled to leave his horses on the shores OF
Denmark, after the embarkation of the troops
for Spain, we all remember how they formed
themselves into two hostile armies, as the
ships of their late masters faded in the
distance, and CT arged upon each other with
such fury that the earth shook for miles
around, and The terrified inhabitants OF the
country fed panic-stricken TO their houses.
So terrible was the slaughter of these fine
An lalusi IN horses, that out of body OF TO-
600 but few hundred remained alive.

SUBMARINE CABLE CUT.-Some time during
night before last the submarine cable that
crosses the Bay of st. Louis, belonging to
the Southern Telegraph Line, was cut in two
places and portion stolen, either by the en-
envy or by traitor. This not only cuts off
all our telegraphic communication with Mo-
pie, but with Alabama. Florida, Georgia,
Soutn Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia

Our Postal Z fairs.

y 1t was to be expected that change of
certain extent, the postal arrangements of
the South; but it was also to be expected
that with proper industry and energy this
Department of the new government would
soon be put in a condition to insure the
prompt and regular transmission of mail
matter This expectation has, however, been
disappointed. The mails are, if anything
more uncertain, irregular and dilatory than
they have been at any time since the Depart
ment was organized at Montgomery. The
government is certainly paying large sums
for the transportation and delivery of the
mails. The old routes are generally main
tanned, and are supplied with contractors,
who are receiving their contract prices. This
complaint is not local, but the same inefi-
cheney seems to pervade the entire South
1t is manifest in all directions alike. Some
body is grievously at fault. If the carriers
of the mails are permitted TO take and bring
them at their own convenience, or not carry
them at all, we had better abandon the sys-
TEN, and try some other. If there are no
penalties for neglect and failure, or if the
penalties are not enforced, there can and
will be no Improvement.
The people are all, men, women aud chill
dren, deeply interested in this subject; its
Importance can scarcely be over-estimated.
They are paying nearly double the direct tax
they have heretofore paid to keepup and sus-
tain the department, and are yet, through
some cause, denied the advantages of it,
Their money is paid for nothing, aud we are
bound to believe that it goes into hands that
do not earn it. 1t is time this state of things
should have an end. 1t has been patiently
borne. but there is a limit to endurance.

The "RAM" Boar lately constructed IN
New Orleans, is completed; trial trip was
made of it last Thursday, aud it is likely to
he failure. It was found to lack speed,
which is a sane qua non of a vessel OF the kind;
it is slow in obeying in It's helm; and what is
of much Importance, that it is SO little pro-
yid,,i with ventilation that the crew would
suffoeate. even without the addition of the
smoke of artillery. Theoretically, the plan
was admirable; but if a vessel for ofense can
not move swiftly through the water, it can be
of very little use.

ANOTHER REGIMENT ORGANIzED.--We learn
from gentleman just arrived from camp
Arlington, (near Lafayette Depot, on the

esteemed feliow-eitizen Robert L. Looney,
yesterday was unanimously elected Colonel

of our friend Looney. for no gentleman OF our

Another visit from the LincOIn-G un
Boats.

We learn that on Saturday last the camp
at Columbus was favored with another visit
from two or three of the Cairo gun boats
the same that have recently been so very at
tentive to u.s. They came within couple
of miles of Columbus, and stopping at the
bend of the river above commmen need feeling
for smasked batteries" by throwing random
shells Eighteen of these missiles were
thrown at intervals OF about ten minutes. one
of which is alleged to have struck not far
from Gen. Folks headquarters, and the others
seem to have been directed toward General
Thompson's camp on the Missouri shore
After exercising their batteries some three
hours, without damage to any one, these
boats retreated toward their rendezvous, not
a single gun on our side responding to their
feint.
1t seems to us that couple of masked or
submarine batteries, placed four or i've miles
above on the river, would be a sufficient rem
edy for the insolence of the enemy as shown
in these occasional forays. Suppose our mill
tary men try it.-AenPhis Appeal z4A

THE TRUTH.

The Louisville Journal well says:
II, when the trsops of the Conteder-
ate States commenced their march upon
Washington with the avowed Getermi-
nation OF eypelling the U. s. Govern
ment and seizingthe Government arch
ives, the Administration had made no
preparation forthe defence OF the Cap
iial, the Disunicnists all over the coun-
try would have denounced President
Lincoln and his Cabinet as the most
miserable OF towards. And now be-
cause the Administration has made
preparations to give the invaders hot
reception, the secession organs CON-
plain bitterly that the Lincoln Govern
ment ''has called out a standing army
to disgrace the Capital and render the
democratic form Of government mock
cry, scorn, and by. word"
