ANDY JOHNSON, ETG--jas. R. Challen, ESD, of
this city, has been appointed LieutCol. of the
Sixty-ninth Ohio, Col. l.. D. D.Campbell. In recent
tour through Ohio with Gov Andy johnson, OF
Tennessee, Col. Campbell said " propose to
take thousand men and escort Gov. johnson
back to his home, and never to give the command
about face until the stars and stripes shall wave in
triumph over his house." The officers of the Sixty

ardor can, as will be seen by the language of the
leaders, Fl use for it in this regiment. Men are

frgates. .-.
The yacht Wanderer is now used as patrol

minutes When as was walking up and down the
lines, simultaneous rush was made for the fence

were some of them frightened, and cred up and
down and across the road in all directions. f"
When the rush was made, was in the middle OF
the road, and looked around in vain for an enemy.
When the first shot was fred, dropped on one
knee and drew my revolver, and sat there looking
for something to fire at, but could see nothing and
did not fire; The muskets sent out perfect
stream of fire on all sides, but, thank God, was

The following dispatch has been received here
from Richmond, and placed at our disposal: ...
Gen. Johnston telegraphs the President Of an
engagement near Leesburg, between Gen. Evans,
in command of South Carolina, Mississippi and
Virginia troops, and twelve regiments Of Federals.
The enemy were driven into the river. ..i,,,,- .e

two hundred Federals made prisoners, and six

5Leesburg, the river at that point flowing over
a rocky, shallow bed yet if any Of the enemy
were drowned, we imagine few tears will be shed
hereabouts over their fate. Baker is one of the
Senators from Oregon, an Englishman by birth
and made speech in the U. S. Senate last winter
saying that, if necessary, the South should be re-
duced to the condition of subject provinces and
ruled over by Governors from Massachusetts and
other Northern States he deserves his fate.l

OAMI VACOLLLLEAN, culy 1SC, lCUl
FRIEND MAH1N:--I wish through the col
umns of your valuable paper, to inform my
friends and creditors in Muscatine of my
whereabouts, and pray you will be kind
enough to give this an insertion. l belong to
Colonel John Is. Wymans 18th Illinois regi-
ment of volunteers, and am member of COM
pany B, commanded by Capt D. R. Bushnell,
of Sterling, Whiteside county, in this State.
We went into camp at Dixon on the 9th Of
April where we were sworn into the United
States service for three years, or during the
war. We were kept there snd drilled eight
hours a day for five weeks sincr then we
have been here at Caseyville, on the line of
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, nine miles
East of St. Louis, and in sight of that city,
fully armed and equipped, and ready for ac-
ton at moments notice.
Col. Wyman's regiment is said to be the
best drilled and most moral, and in fact the
crack regiment of the Northwest This we
have from army officers who haveinspected us
at various times, and having seen other regi-
ments both in and out of the State, are, have
no doubt, competent to judge.
AS to the future movements of this regiment
[ know nothing. We have all kinds of ru-
mors in camp. The last is that we will be
before Memphis before the 10th of this month.
Our boys are all anxious for brush with
Gen. Pillows rebels, and think when the
time comes will fully sustain the reputation o.
Illinois soldiers in the Mexican Wsr, AS fol
me, ON going to tight every chance get 70,
the glorious cid stars and stripes, and if nee
essary will spill the last drop Of my blood fol-
my country. -

issue we stop the papers Of many who have
been putting us off with promises. We can't
buy paper, pay telegraph bills or the wages
of hands with promises, and must have some
thing more substantial from those who receive
the benefit of our labors. We know it is hard
for some to raise the money, but it is abso-
lutely necessary that we shouldreceive prompt
ly every cent we earn in order to keep our
business eoing.-Daily, 9Th.
