Prentice on Price.

Prentice continues his fire upon tho unfor-
tunate Gen. Price, of Missouri. The last mum.
Der Of the Journal has the following amongst q
column or two of squibs:
Gen. Price is no doubt remark able for his in.
dustry, but even he must have his relaxation.
Gen. Price made a display Of considerable
speed at Bonneville, but good deal more bot
tom.
Let those who may visit the field Of Gen.
Prices glory be careful where they tread.
Gen. Price may pass as a respectable man,
but we have heard of his stopping to low busi-
ness.
Gen. Price was lately pretty popular, but at
Bonneville he got into bad odor.
Gen. Price expected to accomplish great
things in the war, but he was thoroughly
"cleaned out" during the first battle.
The Atlanta Confederacy says that the
Harper's Ferry's evacuation was an adroit mil
itare maneuver. We wonder If Gen. Prices
wasn't an adroiter one.
Gen. Price showed himself bad General at
Bonneville. He made an improper exposure
of his most important battery.
Some have called Gen. Price lazy man, but
there's really good deal of work in him.
Gen. Lyon is an officer of stern discipline,
but Gen. Price is remarkable only for his lax-
ity.
Many thought that there was nothing in
Gen. Price, but at Bonneville he manifested
very considerable outcome.
Among the great fertilizers of the soil are
lime, msrl guano, and Gen. Price.
1t is thought Gen. Price will soon be caught.
The U. 5. troops are on the scent of him.
Gen. Price at Bonneville had a number of
passages-at arms.
Gen. Prices e'shsad-quarters at Bonneville cut
comparatively an Insignificant figure.
A Missouri paper thinks that Gen Price is
bound down the Mississippi. He certainly
seems not to be /" bound uph
1t IS said that Gen. Price fell off in weight
just one half during the battle of Bonneville.
The affair at Bonneville shows the Importance
OF Gen. Prices resorting to a stringent policy
Gen. Price erected at Bonneville a very
appropriate monument to his own fame he
ought to have been buried under it,

TBRrLLNa ADVENTURE WITH Two LARGE

TBRfLLIyG ADVENTURE WITH Two LARGE
esAKEs-The st. Joseph (Mich.) Traveller,
June 18th, says: ....r
While crossing q pieoA of marshy ground
bordering on the Northern bayou near this
village, in company with . small boy, the
Sheriff discovered two large blue racer snakes
Just ahesd Of him, and although armed with
nothing but an Insignificant stick, he resolved
at once to eadeavor to dispatch the monsters.
Ihsrefore, by describing a circle: he headed
them OF, and hemmsd them in next to the
water, which this species of reptile dislikes
exesedingly. bat as he approsched nearer and
nearer, the largest one, head erect, turned
upon him, and In an instant coiled its strong
sinewy body about bis legs with such tenacity
that IL was impossible for him to move from
his tracks without falling over. But, in spite
of this predicament, the sheriff was not so
much alarmed until be saw the other snake,
which had meantime been running from side
10 side, suddenly start towards him. and with
the quickness Of lightning, leap upon him,
catehing his arm in his embrace, and binding
Il 10 his body as firmly as il IL had been Sc
cured with chains Of steel, and, Of course, not
withstanding he strained every nerve in the
effort, be could not release it, With bis left
he drew q sheath knife from breast pocket of
his coat, and made short work Of severirg the
coils Of his dissgreesble foes. The largest Of
these monsters measured seven feet four and
one half inches, and the other fve feet eight
inches in length. The Sheriff says that 1t
seemed 70 him that tht terrible embrace Of the
large snake was equal 10 the strength which
two men could bring TO bear on q rope about q
parsons limbs, and was extremely painful; !;
while the quickness Of their movements was
indeed astonishing: he brought away their
heads as trophies Of his victory. T-F e.

The Army Of Mechanics.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin has the
following in its "Shsrp-shooters' column -
The regiments of the Northern army, it is
we'll known, contain practical mechanics of
every branch OF trade, as we'll as artists, mer-
chants clerks, and men from every walk of
business; 50 that when a commander wishes a

FROM CAIRo-The correspondent Of the Spring
field iii Republican writes:
CAIRO, June 27.-The last rumor is to the effect
that the camp at Union City is to be broken up,
and the force now there TO be nsferred to SOUTH
east Missouri to join some thousands already sent
there from Tennessee, and others from Arkansas
The latter are said to be under the orders Of for
mer U 3. Senator-Selon Borland
Their programme now ID to collect 10. 600 men ,
and then march upon Birds Point. They hope
to be joined by the disaected portion of the cit-
zens Of Missouri, and we are told they intend to
be opposite Cairo on the 4th July
Another report 10, that Ben Mccullough Is on
his way hitherward, with 100 men, and that he
has affected jnnction with the Missouri State
troops under Ciaib jackson
Still another rumor is, that Claib Jackson IL
about to procure division Of the State the Mis-
souri, river to be the dividing lne and that this
scheme has many supporters In the lower par: Of
the State
One thing 10 certain the party that can hold
Cairo must be successful In this war, at least so
far a. the Test is concerned. While this is held
Dv Federal troops, and the blockade Of the river
10 maintained, the south will be powerless; and
