Fighting on the Mississippi.

A Geographic dispatch has given brief &C.
count of the operations of the gunboat expedi
ton from Cairo which attempted to dislodge
the enemy from Hickman, Ky. The Cincin
matt Enquirer of Saturday gives the following
particulars of that affair -
"On Thursday morning ;he gunboats Tyler
and Lexington left Cairo on a scouting tour.
AT eleven o'clock they came in right of the
gunboat Yankee, belonging to the southern
coniederacy. Approaching within the neces
sary range, our boats opened tire upon her,
which was returned by her with will. The
shots OF all the steamers failed to do any dam
age The Yankee pointed down stream and
made for Hickman, pursued by our boats
Above Hickman fire opened on our boats
from masked battery of four rifed guns. The
fire was returned from the boats, and shell
and hot shot were thrown into the
enemy's camp, setting fire TO their tents and
baggage Wagons, and scattering the troops in
various directions. The engagement lasted
about an hour, but no damage was done to our
boats or their crews. Onr boats returned to
!. Cairo; but succeeded in capturing eight prls.
oners, and sezng forty head Of mules and cat.
tie. The Yankee followed the.lyler and the
Lexington a short distance, and then anchored
IN the river opposite the battery. One OF the
prisoners captured above the camp, and who
was scout, states the number of Gen Pill
lows force TO be 1900, and that 1000 were en-
eamped near Columbus, Ky, at the Chalk
Banks The gunboats were fired into by in
-,Aaniry at both points, but their balls did no
otuer oa'liage than u cutter the bulkheads of
our steamers, or riddle the awnings on their
decks. N''
1t is believed that Pillows forces are beipy

and Conesioga, were to leave again yesterdsv

THE GREAT MARKETING.


Faneuil Hall never was more closely packed
with human beings than it was on Monday
evening last. 1t would be nearer the fact to
say ,cedged. But even such extreme pressure
did not deter large numbers Of women from
helping the good cause by their attendance,
The war, as we all know, has peculiar claims
upon them, and every where woman has brave
ly met all it has required of her-personal Ia
bors, the parting with those dearer than life,
and the silent, anxious waiting for whatever
the dread future may have to tell. But the
war appealed to her patriotism as an American
woman, and the dear hope that in Gods good
providence the oppressed of the land are to be
par akers of the fruits of its victories, touched
all her sympathies. II is an omen OF promise
Wherever men may publicly meet to take
counsel, we shall welcome her cheering pres
ence.
This Boston meeting had all the usual draw
backs of immense assemblages, both for speak
ers and hearers. 1t must have been as trying
for some OF the orators as to have faced bat
terry. But of the feelings OF that multitude
on the great question of the hour, no man who
saw it could doubt. The flag" the "Unon,"
elderly" were the words its mighty voice
echoed and re-echoed The speaking hardly
met the requirements of the hour. Yet it
would not be just to criticize too sharply words
spoken under such disadvantages. Ordinary
thought and common claptrap were out of
place. The occasion required men with the
III Df 4la a1
"with the love of love aud hale of hate" OF the
patriot and men filled with the generous SYM
erous sympatlies Of the christian, for all those
who suffer or who ought 10 be remembered in
such struggle. But whatever it bad or lack
ed in this respect, the speakers made clear be-
yond all controversy, that the government noW
urgently needs men and money. Let us all do
something to meet its calls. Here in Worcester
we must help in the instant organization of an
other county regiment. Let us also subscribe
for treasury notes. If every man or woman,
who can invest fifty dollars only, will do so,
he or she will have thereby shown, small as
the sum may be, u living interest in the gov
erIment TO which we all owe so much To ev-
cry friend Of an earnest prosecution of the
war to every lover Of peace which shall be
enduring to all who would uphold public or
der aud law-can we say, subscribe at once for
The national loan. DO not stand upon the order
OF your going to do this go at once. So may
we all carry on the purpose of the great meet
ing and so demonstrate that it truly spoke in
full unison with the heart of our honored COM
monwealth. +.

Gard from Messrs. I1Imban & Robinson.


BRooKFIELD, Sept. 10, 1861.
To tie Editors of the Worcester Spy-Gentle-
men: Our attention has been recently called
in so many ways to the false impressions pro
duced by the calumnies against our firm,
which hsve been alluded to within few days
in the columns of your paper, that we deem
it proper to make statement that will put at
rest forever the slanderous rumors, that we
have, either directly or indirectly, sold army
shoes, or any other kind, to the rebellious
states, since the present war begun. We do
make army shoes, at the rate of nearly one
thousand pairs daily, which we know to be of
superior quality, and we have sold them to be
used by the loyal troops of Ohio, Indiana, IL
linois, Michigan, and New York. We have
also sold them to Major McKinstry assistant
quartermaster OF the United Slales army at
St. Louis, and we have sent other large guam.
titles to Josiah Green & Co., Of Spencer in
this county and of ST. Louis, by whom they
have been furnished to the army under Gen.
Fremont, and we have received treasury notes
in part payment. These are the parties who
have received the products of our factory, and
never has single shoe been sold to any one
from our establis hment, which we have reason
to believe has been or is ever likely TO be worn
on rebel foot. We obey the laws and sup.
port the government OF our country, and
would sooner our property destroyed and
our business ruined, than in any, the slightest
degree give aid or comfort to the enemies of
the Union.
If the secret malice of some unknown enemy
has put these injurious stories in circulation,
we well afford to despise them. and to
rely upon our consciousness Of innocence, and
the fairness and personal character which we
built up during forty years past Whenever
any charge assumes tangible form worthy of
notice, its author will be called to severe &C
count. kIMBALL & ROBINSON.
The papers which have published the state
ments rejecting on the loyalty of the firm, are
requested to give them the benefit of their de-
NAL.

THE VOLUNTEER,

soldier, at the tap of drum,
With spirit bold and ready,
hear the wars increasing hum,
And keep my rifle steady,
Ny soul folds up her many cares,
The patriots love revealing;
She questions how the country fares,
And stills each minor feeling.
Sweet scenes of early joy recede,
My poor heart asks assistance;
The green hills show human need
And beckon from the distance.
But on! the lesser home must yield
The parting hand give her,
To hasten where the tented field
Cleans white along the river.
With bosoms that NO tremor know,
My brethren press beside me;
And if l shrink before the foe,
Ye hills, fall down and hide me
For we WILL mid the iercest shocks,
Sweep back the mschel-makers,
And stand foam-beaten like the rocks,
Arresting treason's breakers.
Not careless of the homestead where
Old thoughts and visions gather,
But thoughtful of greater care,
Inspired by duty rather.
And when the hosts, that combat now,
Have ceased to crash and hurtle,
Dear hands may bind about our brow
The wreaths of bay and myrtle.
Then shout until the distant hills
Throw back the sound like thundert
