THE OYSTER SUPPER To-NIGHT.-We hope
our citizens will bear in mind that the ladies
of the Methodist Church, Locust stu will
give a'grand entertainment to the public at
Crescent City Hall tonight. As has already
been stated, the proceeds are to be devoted
to the purchase of yarn and other materials,
to be manufactured by the ladies into articles
for the use and benefit of Indiana volun-
teers The object, therefore, is a worthy one,
and aside from this, the entertainment will
be of such character as to render Crescent
City Hall the place of resort this evening.
Let the house be crowded that the ladies
may be amply repaid for their labors, and
the treasury of the Society replenished.

Hardly Fair.

On Wednesday, the 9th ultimo, we
furnished our readers with a condensed sum-
mary of Southern news from papers received
from New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Mem
phis, of much later date than any obtained
by our contemporaries. OF course, we were
pleased to witness the avidity with which
the news furnished by US was appropriated
by others. ~ 10 not ike the spirit
that refused ; tredit the source from whence
the news was obtained. With the exception
of the New Albany Ledger, we have not
seen single paper that gave us credit for
what they SO greedily appropriated. The
agent of the Associated Press also got hold
of the paper two or three days after its
issue, and telegraphed much of its contents
without word of credit. The Louisville
Journal of Tuesday evening last, copies a
portion of our summary, UerbatiH, with the
following caption: g We have received
additional files of papers from Memphis,
Vicksburg, and New Orleans, from which
ace make the following extracts"
We trust we have a proper amount of
modesty, but we confess we must demur to
the Journal palming of on its readers, news
which had appeared in our Journal one
week before as late news which it had clip
ped from Southern papers.

Welearn by gentleman from Hender-
son, who arrived here yesterday morning,
that a messenger had arrived at the former
place the eyeneng before, with news Of
severe skirmish between portion of Col.
Jackson's cavalry and a body of rebels.
The latter were routed with loss of some
As killed and wounded Col-Jackson's loss
amounted to seven or eight killed. The
affair is said to have occurred in Mullen
burg county. Col. jackson will become as
celebrated as "Light-horse Harry Lee" of
the Revolution. Ae.t-t1
The Louisville papers of Monday after
noon are quite barren of army intelligence.
Troops continue to arrive from all quarters,
and the force of General Buell. bids fair to
rival in numbers that of the Potomac. We
trust, in activity it will far excel that of
Mcclellan. We notice that Mr.. Wickiffe,
in his speech in the House of Represents
tives on Tuesday, asserted that there would
be no rebels in Kentucky by the 25th of
December. If his prediction is verified
there must be some warm work on hand,
and some big victories to be gained. We
are apprehensive, however, that Mr.. Wick
life was trying to Guido Mr.. Seward in
arousing the hopes Of the loyaIists by max
ing huge promises.
Twelve secesh prisoners charged with
treason, who were arrested in Johnston and
Lawrence counties, have been taken to
Newport barracks.
The relatives of members of the 9Th Ohio
regiment, Guthrie Greys, are passed by the
mail company from Cincinnati to Louisville
and back, free of charge, in order that they
may visit their loved ones in that regiment,
whom they were not permitted to see when
it passed down the river from Western Eir-
ginia.
a letter to the Journal from Adair coun-
ty, says the rebels are going through Allen
county, arresting all the Union men they
can lay their hands on, and compelling
them to take an oath to support the South
ern Oonfederacy, besides robbing the peo-
pie of everything they possess in the world,
reducing them to beggars, and almost to
starvation.

CONFEDERATE GUNBoAT DEsTRoYED.-We
learn from the Memphis Avalanche of Mon
day, the 18th uft., that the Confederate gun
boat Tuscarora, on her way up the Missis-
sippi from New Orleans took fire on the Esd
uit. about fifteen miles above Helena. A
strong wind was blowing at the time, ard
it was found impossible to save the boat.
An effort to save the magazine was sue
cessfui, but the shells on board commenced
to explode soon after the fire commenced.
The explosion fred the negro quarters on
Mr.. Harbutt's plantation, as well as the tops
of trees on the bank of the river. The boat
was burned to wreck. 1t is not known
how the FIRE originated Journal.

more News from the twenty fiftl..

A gentleman in this city has just received
letter from an officer i n the 18th regiment.
The,friends of Mr.. Henry Sweetzer will be
glad to know that he is once more able to
assume his position as Quartermaster of the
25th. The letter says that there are only
about $50 we'll men in the regiment The
average number of deaths since the regi-
ment left here is about twelve to each COM
pany. This would indicate loss of over
ten per cent of the regiment in three
months. We hope the statement will be
found to be incorrect, as our correspondents
in that regiment have not mentioned the
fact in any of their letters. The 25th
is stationed near Otterville, but expected
shortly to move to Syracuse.

g9g~ We are informed that the Cannelton
Cotton Mill, owing to the scarcity of cot
ton, viii shortly suspend operations. It has
been running on half time for several
months. The mill employs four hundred
operatives, and discusses in ordinary times
over $4,000 mentb. The stopping Of.
the mill throws out of employment large
number of persons who have no other
means Of gaining a livelihood. The pro-
prietors have expressed a willingness to run
the mill, even at loss, but it is found al
most impossible to procure the raw ma
terial. Tie Cannelton Cotton Mil is one
of the institutions of the State, equal if not
superior to any mill of like character in the
country, and its temporary suspension is
matter of regret to the citizens Of Southern
Indiana We hope the day is not far distant
when its vast and complicated machinery
will be again in motion.

has been tremendous; not LESS than four
hundred heavy guns have been employed
on both sides, and vague and confused as the
