THE LATE BATTLE.

At best it was q drawn game; or if
Union victory, one that vas followed by
no advantageous results. 1t sometimes
happens that commander, encompassed
by superior force, is compelled to give
battle, and risk the sacrifice of q part Of
his men to save the remainder, and the
battle near Springfield seems to haVe been
impe]1ed by dread necessity Of that sort
On our side twas hardly, and dwe1nAy say,
successfully fought. The enemy, over
powering in numbers, were driven back
and compelled to abandon their original
intention to gain cur rear. The means of
Of an uninterrupted retreat were secured,
and the dauntless bravery Of our troops,
fighting against immense odds, was con-
clusirely demonstrated, This much was
gained It is for the strategists to cay
whether the advantages were equal to
the lost If sigel makes good his in.en-
tian Of resuming the Offensive as soon as
reinforced, We are content.
But what shall ne say Of that fatal
neglect at the War Office in Washington
which could trust Gen. Lyon at the head
ofthat light column, far from his base line
Of operations and his reinforcements, for
20 long time, without an effort to..send
him the aid for which he asked? We
happen to know that weeks ago he sent to
the Secretary Of War the most urgent Of
letters describing his weakness, the press
ing danger Of his situation, and the imu1e-
diate and imperative necessity for help.
The result Of the fatal strife, involving
the disgrace Of another precipitate retreat,
the death Of the gallant General, the dis
cou1agement Of the Union men, and the
abandonment Of all Southwest Missouri
to the tender mercy Of the sayages who
follow in McCu1loch's train, tells how that
urgent appeal was treated.
The people, outraged by this new hunl-
iaten-for humiliation it ii demand to
know Of that Secretary why this thing has
been permitted. He had men aud armz
IN abundance. An intimation from him
that Lyon Was in danger would have
raised regiments from the earth to have
gone to that gallant commanders aid; and
with such arms as they could have extern
rorized they would have routed the foe
Why were they not summoned? Why
vas this disaster suffered to fill up the
measure of the nations discomfort? W

A Fresh Water Spring at Sea.

Mr.. W. A. Booth, the coast pilot Of the rev
snue cutter Harriet Lane, reports the discov-
cry of boiling fresh water spring at sea, of
the coast of Florida. He says the spring is
situated twelve miles, north by east, from
St. Augustine, Fla, and eight miles off shore.
II boils up with great force. and can be de-
cried at distance of two miles. When first
seen 1t has tbs appearance of breaker, and
is generally avoided; but there ia no danger
in the vicinity, as there is five fathoms of
water between it and the shore. Ten faith
ODDS of water are found to the seaward, bat
no bottom can be reached with the desp sea
lead and thirty fsthoms of line at the spring
itself. The water in the spring is fresh, and
is by no means unpalatable. One popularity
about this phenomenon is, that when the St.
Johns river is high it boils up from six to
eight feet sbevs the level of the sea, and pre-
seats rather forbidding appearance. This
spring has doubtless deceived hundreds, who
have hastily put about from, as they thought
imminent danger, and reported seeing q
/" rock with water breaking over IT," The
Harriet Lane has passed through it several
times, and water has been drawn from it by
q bucket thrown over the side, and When
drank no unpleasant taste or smell has been
found. Its position and harmless character
have been long unknown, but now the suppo-
sed danger has become, as il were, Ga well

to broad, white sheets, and thus does duty
in revolving stages.
The parings of skins and hides, and the
ears of COWS, calves and sheep, are careful.

Indians were routed whenever met with, a
great many killed, and finally they became
so submissive as to cause no further appre-
hension. The express again resumed its
trips, and has since run with great regulars
ty.
During four months of the year, from De-
cember to April, the difficulty of travelling is
much increased by the heavy SHOWS which
prevail over large portion ofthe route. In
some sections for several miles the snow is
piled up to depth of twenty-ssven feet. To
obviate this difficulty, the company all the
winter long have bad on hand at such places
sufficient force Of men and OK teams to
keep the road packed. The method Of doing
this is to turn on the teams after the snow
has fallen about two feet and keep them
travelling back and forth till it is packed hard
and after two feet more has fallen to do the
same thing over again, and SO on until
good hard road is formed between walls Of
snow as high as a two story house.
When the enterprise was first started let
ters were forwarded but once a week and the
rate OF postage was five dollars for one half
ounce. S1en after, semi-weekly mail was
established and the rate fixed at two dollars
and fifty certs quarter ounce, at which
price and regulation the express is still run
ming.
The title of the company that manages
this enterprise is the Central Overland Cal
ifcrnia and Pixies Peak Express Company" /"
and its main business consists in running
line'of express and passenger coaches to the
Pixies Peak gold region. Their starting
points from the eastern end are Leavenworth
City, Kansas, and ST. Joseph, Missouri. and
they take passengers through to Denver City
in the remarkably short space of five and one
half days, which is strong contrast with
the time when twenty days for the same dis
tance was considered quick trip. On the
first of July next. or before, this company
will start daily line Of coaches to Salt Lake
City, carrying the United States Mail, where
they will connect with the Overland Mail
Company" which will run to Placeryille,
in California. They will also continue their
pony express, reducing the price of postage,
however, to one dollar per half ounce, and
making the time from the Missouri river to
San Francisco in ten days, the whole year
through.
About the tenth day Of April next the
present schedule of fifteen days, from St. Ju-
seph to the Pacific, will be reduced to the
former time of ten days; the rate Of postage
will also be reduced to tive dollars for half
ounce letters, postage prepaid.

A Hard Sentence.

A few years SINCE one Lindsey, famous
in Illinois and Indiana as bold thief and
highwayman, and since shot for insubordi-
nation in the psnitentiary, was arraigned
before an Illinois Circuit Court to answer an
indictment for highway robbery; to which
charge, there being conclusive testimony
against him, he plead guilty" The crime
was very bold and atrocious act, denoting
great skill in that kind of rough gambling,
as we'll as very abandoned and wicked
heart. At the close Of the term Lindsey was
brought up to receive his sentence, wheh
Judge Davis, who is great admirer of hon
est industry, as we'll as an inordinate hater
of such "larpins" as Lindsey, who subsist by
thieving, proceeded to pass the sentence OF
the law upon him. His honor commenced
by reminding the prisoner that be was yet u
young man, possessed with more than or
dinary share of natural endowments, sufi-
cient. if we'll applied. to place him in the
foremost ranks of honorable society. lie
next informed him that, by bis own plea,
he was guilty of robbiLg-in open day and
almost in the presence of the whole cemmu-
nity-an old and helpless man of his hard.
earned money-a crime recognized by the
law of the land as of the most abandoned and
wicked character. In rehearsing this scath-
ing prelude to the sentence of the law, the
Judge, as is usual in such cases, got him
self very much warmed up, so that when he
came to close his remarks with the sentence.
he found cur State Institutions somewhat
mixed up in his mind /; for said be,
Lindsey, shall sentence yeu to seven
years in the Illinois Legislature ~
{" The Penitentiary, your honor" sugges.
ted the prosecuting attorney. who was stand
ing BY.
The judge accepted the correction of the
prosecutor, muttering. at the same time,
something about the "slight difference" that
existed. A litter ran around the bar, when
the matter was dropped for the present; but
Judge Davis frequently hears Of his sentence

THE UNION.
By VEIN FoRNRY.

The storm is loud on the winters breath,
While bowling clangors spread
The seeds of an eternal death
With the bodies of the dead.
Her lowering clouds, portentous fling
Their gloom across our path;
And ever on our ears doth ring
The strife of bitter wrath.
Shall it be thus, that States like ours,
Fraternal once and free,
The envy of all earthly powers,
The boast Of liberty
Shall these be severed, torn or rent,
Our banners trailed in dust,
And we by passion idly spent,
Deprived of Freedoms trust?
Forbid it Heaven, while hopes fire
CLOVIS bea auteous and sublime,
That We should build our funeral pyre
On Freedoms sacred shrine
That from our affairs, whence the word
Of truth, potential given,
Shall ne'er again on earth be heard
Until tits heard in Heaven
The Union Strike no star from where
1t cleaned so bright and long,
Nor seek to 'scape Nations prayer,
Or list Nations song
The Union Not alone of Statss,
Of rivers and of plains,
But an eternal bond of fates-
Of harmonies sweet strains !
God save the Union or if He,
Ordainning in His power
Has marked the limits of the free,
And fixed their brief dim hour:
So has He placed on all that live
Deaths dire and awful doom,
But who, among US, would survive
The Union in the Tomb ?
Washington, March, 1861.
