The city proper is about to be put in trim
for welcoming univited visitors to stay " till
Gabriel blows his horn" The bluff is to be
protected by breastworks of cotton. Yes
terday the bluff between Court and Adams
streets was thus lined with bales Each
of the streets in the city, with the exception
of Madison and Jefferson, is to be thus bar
ricaded. With breastworks on the bluff,
and breastworks in the streets, Memphis
win be in war Memphis Appeal
Cotton bales are a singular defense against
" shells" a single bomb exploding against
a fertilization of cotton would burn aud
smoke out a garrison in less time than Maj.
Anderson and his men were smoked out of
Sumter. The idea Of Gotten bales for bar
ricades is about as Iudlcrous as General Pill
lows ditch operation.

For the Grand Haven News.
Messrs BARNS: Some time ago you
very properly mentioned in your paper a
patriotic deed of Mr.. BoLTwooD. Now,
having heard of another deed of such a
character l thought best to communicate
it to you, so that it may be published il
in it you find sufficient merit. The facts
arc as follows: When the volunteers,
who had enlisted from The township of
Holland, in this county, into the Eighth
Michigan Regiment, and KELLooo's Cav
airy Regiments, left for the place of rem
devious, Mr. ]. BINNEKANT, who sells i'm
ported Holland Bibles and Testaments,
walked up and presented to them copy
of the Holland Testament with Psalms
but the American volunteers could not
read them, and Mr.. BINNEKANT, too pa
triotic to be caught in that trap, went di-
rectly to Mr.. H. D. PosT, who is an agent
of branch depository of the American
Bible Society, at Holland, and bought
land paid for them, too,) a copy of the
English Testament for each volunteer
who could not read those of the Holland
language. Now, it would seem that tho
donation Goes not amount 10 much; but
il we look at Mr.. BoLTwooD and his
means, and Mr.. BINNEKANr, and his
means, then we believe the latter did no
less than the former gentleman.

ES- The war news is comparatively
unimportant except perhaps the late bat
tie near Leesburg, Va. Information tina,
final order for the removal of Fremont
has been sent to Gen. HUNTER, who is
next in command there, seems to be reli-
able. The report of the dcsertion Of
Com. DUPoNr's Secretary is we think eff
iectually contradicted. The latest intelli-
gonco informs us of the sailing of the great
naval expedition. It's destination is un-
known to the public.

TChicago Times
Esy The New York World, in speak

Eg- The New York World, in speak
ing of the battle Of Lcesburg Heights,
says: "The full and true story Of the
battle near Harrison's Island has reached
us within the last half hour. Now comes
the naked truth, in all its stunning and
distressing horrors. We have met with
a sickening repulse; one involving the loss
of nearly one thousand men, in killed,
wounded and missing, and of many brave
and skilIful officers; and accompanied by
scenes of horror unequaled liz any pre-
vious battle of the war" No worse
blunder or mis,nanagement characterized
the disgraceful affair at Bull Run than is
attached 10 those in command Of the late
battle at Leesburg Heights.
