One OF TIE IloKHUkS ~ WAR.-Wr learn,
that On Thursday last, two Of the dead bodies
OF Lincolu'S men were found in the woods in
the ncighh"rhood OF the Bethel battle ground,
in a stale If decomposition. They were traced
out by means Of the buzzards lowering over
the spot. One of the coipses had in his harer.
sack a quarter Of baked sheat. 1t is supposed
they bad crawled Away from the scene Of battle
after being wounded, and died on the spot on
which they were discovered. From their uni.
forms it is presumed they were members Of
the Iouave Regiment.
1t is said that all along the road from Bethel
10 Hampton Il most in:olerablc stencil prevails,
and that from the appearance of the buzzards
circling around about, there must be numbers
Of purifying carcasses in the woods. NOrrotk

there is more truth in the less ancient saying,

One Of our friends just from Columbus fyclept
Foot Polk reports TO Us that We have s'grand
army" there, with Gen. Polk In chief command,
aided by Gems. Pillow, Chatham and McCown. The
cavalry and artillery branches sre not the least i-
posing in appearance. Tennessee is not only well
represented, but Is Mississippi, Louisiana, and
Arkansas, and tie whole mass IS strongly infused
with the hope Of soon being able to fight a grand
battle with the Lincolnites either on Kentucky or
Missouri soil. Just now the war cload seems 70 be
darby hanging over the region Of country between
Columbus and Paducah and if the signs do not fail
il win break before the lapse Of many days. --
Gen Cheathams brigade marched several days
ago for Mayfeld, about twenty-six miles from
Padueah, and are still In possession of that point.
II was understood the brigade was to be reinforc-
ed there from other points, but whether the
design il to attack Paducah or not, g1iels sG6s2
Meanwhile, Fort Polk is daily receiving aceessions
to its force. From the fact that the Lincoln gun
boats have been daily visiting the vicinity Of Co
lumbus, and from reports Of large forces Of their
troops being on both sides Of the river, there is
strong probability Of an assault from the enemy in
a few days. This thought, however, may be owing
70 the cish. q TO-
Last Saturday the gun boats made an afternoon
call. and gave pecimei Of their shell work. II
was beautifully done, but It only amounted to

Another Doorned Ci,T-


The DelG1Care Gazette, supporter Of the LISCOLN
Administration, thus refers to the city of Whining
ton, in that State:
No city in the middle Stasss had fairer prospects
one year ago than Wilmington. The Abolition IA
nktics have however, destroyed the brilliant pros
poets that doomed up so fOreibly before her arts
zans and manufacturers. That the trade Of VIII
mfngton was nearly dependent upon the South few
can doubt. The denial to the South Of their equal
rights in the territories and the threats to eircum
scribe the Southern States with Gordon Of free
States, and ultimately arm and free the slaves by
the fanatics forced eleven States to withdrw from
much Of the trade Of Wilmington, and we fear our
prospects in the future for prosperity is sadly
ruined.
We have been told that a Republican political
leader has enheard to say that were that party
to put candidates in the field now, and run them
upon the Chicago platform, they could not receive
three hundred votes il the city and yet the pubic
sentiment Of Wilmington is held by mere mob
threats to sustain the policy Of Lincoln, Cameron
& Co., notwithstanding that policy has emptied
nearly all of our workshops and factories. Were
Wilmington permitted to enjoy her due share of the
trade of the South to which she is entitled as the
chief city in 4 Southern Stlts, che would in few
years become 50 valuable 70 the farmers Of the adj
jacent country that their IInds would double and
treble ia value. The Northern cities are determin-
ed to hold the Southern force it across the
Atlantic. They would prefer to see Liverpool and
Manchester flourish rather than Baltimore and VIII
mington rise TO respectable metropolitan dimen-
siOns. q -tt ~
