bridge had also been burned. Ii is not doubt

entirely destroyed.
we learn that just before starting from the
city on Tuesday evening, on the special train,
GOV. jackson gave his solemn word Of honor to
Mr. Taylor, President Of the Pacific Railroad,
that he did not intend to harm any Of the bridg-

Is reaso nable, at any rate, to conclude, know

son, that these acts Of nccndarism would not
havebeen committed without his sanction. Even
those in our city who have been adherinc to
jackson and Price, denounced their iuiamy last

The destr. ction Of he Usage and Gasconade
bridges is another severe blow 10 the already
crippled trade and travel Of our city. The loss

Own by the breaking waves we stood,
Upon rocky shore;
The brave waves whispered COURAGE
Ane hid wi n friendly roar
me iutring words that to d the tale
dared not tell before.
l asked if she with the priceless eift
Her love, my life she'd bless
was 1t her voice some fair wave
forsooth scarce can guess
some murmurinJ wave, or her sweet voice
ihat lsped 50 sweetly yes"
And then in happy silence, too,
clasped her fair wee hand: ..
and long We stood there carelessly,
While Ger the dalkeGed land
The sun set and the fishing byats
Were sailing for the strand.
1t seems not many days ago
Like yesterday-nO more,
sipce thus we stood-my love and l.
Upon the rocky shore
But was four and twenty then,
And now I'm forty-four.
The lily hand is thinner row,
And in her sunny nair,
see some svery lines and On
Her brow some lines of care;
But "fihkled brow or silyery lock,
She's not one whit less fair.
The fishing boats a score ofyears
Go sailing iroIn the strand
The crimson sun score of years
Sets DER the daikeued land,
And here tonight upon he elf
We're standing hand in hand.
My darling, there's our Oldest girl,
Down on the rocks below
what's Stanley doing by her side ?"
My wife says, Z" You should know =.
He's telling her what you told me

Ro.rncranz Under a cloud.

From the Cincinnati C0mnerciaLI
This gentleman is taking his turn of unpopu.
larity He may have committed grave errors
and it is possible that he is deficient in some oi
the qualities Of a great captain We only
know him as a man of thorough military educa
ton and vast general information, who few weeks
ago enjoyed an extraordinary measure of public
confidence. Now we cannot obtain our own
consent TO join in the Outcry against him because
one part OF his army is ragged, and another
suffering with fevers. No general of whom we
have read was SO fortunate as to conduct a cam
paign without finding transportation difficult,
and many OF the Intermediates honest. Napo-
leon had to shoot few quarteTmasters, Jackson
lOnged for the opportunity Of doing likewise
The army on the kanawha is suffering from
camp feveTs. These are certainly the result Ol
the terrible weather that has prevailed, and the
exhausting forced marches that have been made
The troops have seen severe service, and theil
condition, IN consequence, is bad. Many now
blame Rosencranz for his march from Clarks.
burg.
Suppose he had remained there to preserve
the health Of his troops, and left Cox on the
Gauley to be cut off by an overwhelming force
as he surely would have been if not supported
We do not undertake 10 say the complaints
against Gen. ROsencTanZ are unfOunded Some
Of them may be vel grounded. But camp fevers
have deoimsted the best armies under the great
est generals. They are the chief of the ''hor-
rors Of war, and among the most effective ol
preventives is the intelligent self care of the
soldiers. Without that, cousumate science. con-
slant care, genius, military or medical, viii not
avail. Officers from the Kanawha tell us that
the troops there are well clothed and have plenty
Of good provisions. The sickness which is ia
be lamented, arises from the forced marches tl
which the men have been subjected, and the un-
favorable weather. The marches, it is true
have not produced any brilliant victories, bui
the people have not been accustomed in this
war to find fault with generals for moving the
soldiers about too much

Pleasant Incident.

The Petersburg Express furnishes the follow
ing;
It is our privilege to relate d pleasing incident
that occurred in the family Of one Of our most
eminent and popular citizens. Two or three
nights ago a soldier, all the way from Texas,
wesried in body, haggard in the expression Of
his face, and with garments torn and worn,
knocked at the door Of the above mentioned
gentleman, who was at the tinIe engaged in dis
gcnsing his well-known hospitality to a number
Of friends. The Texan soldier Is Of Irish descent,
and of course well yersed in the "Hch brOgue -
Of that nation. One of the visitors answered
the summons at the door, who, after the usual
" good evening" was greeted with and is the

ueman Of the house soon appeared. GOOD

" gentleman was sorry be could not-his house
was full Of company. " What, and do you Te-
fuse a poor soldier a nights lodgingl" But
the gentlenans house was too full-everv room
and every bed would be occupied, and he was
compelled though reluctantly, to refuse second
time. However, he could not see the soldier
leave ms premises with no prospects of obtain
N Iig shelter ior the night, so he kindly handed
INN a sum OF money for the purpose.
But the soldier persisted in his beseecbjng. vet

From the Alexandria (RapdeS parish) C0RSti-
tatiou0l Of Saturday last we extract the follow
ing.
Our district court, Judge Chaplin presiding,
was occupied for four DAYS in the trial Of Gen.
c. Mason Long for the homicide of Col. James
II. Dawson, en- the night of the 9Th of Septem-
Der last Tie trial terminated on Thursday night,
81 abour eight o'clock. in the acquittal Of the
accused. From the prominent position held by
she parties IN our community-h0thh having fam
Hes and numerous friends, and from the in
teces,iug circumstances which surrounded the
ease, great interest was felt throughout the com
inunify in the progress Of the trial
The weather during the first part Of the week
was delightfll-cool and hrscing. There was a
heavy "biow on Thursday night, and rain fell
in torrents, which continued all day yesterday.
IL is thought tiat a great deal of cane has been
blown down, and cotton in the fields was some
what smashed by the rain and wind aforesaid.
Our sugar planters are now rolling away in
fine style, and the Weld IS rather better than
last week. If We could have little cool weather
and a light frost or two very large crop would
be made. We hope that such viii be the case.
The Plaquemine Rice Planter says:
We understand thar several sugar planters
have commenced grinding. The quality Of the
new sugar Is said 10 be fair. 1t would appear
that the cane yields very little
The Pointe Coupee Echo of the 10Th says;
During the week a number Of the sugar
planters have commenced grinding and are now
making good sugar. The yield Of the cane is
about an average one.
The West Baton Rouge Planter Of the 18th
says:
Sugar making progresses steadily, the yield
usually being fair, and, in some places, excel
lent All the sugar that we have seen IS ex-
celent
In Rapids parish, as we learn from the Alex
andria Democrat, .'the planters in the cotton
picking line have done a good weeks work,
whilst our sugar planters have been steaming
and rolling away on half matured cane. with a
poor yield -'
We learn from the Attakapas Register that
four gunboats for the protection Of the coast of
ST Mary and adjacent parishes against the TO-
rags Of the Federals, are nearly ready for ser
vice
OuI Plaquemine contemporary has the an
nexeJ items:
u has been raining again this week-ThuTs-
day night without cessatiOn-thUs putting back
our planters IN taking of their crops. The
sugar made viii be much less than anticipated.
We understand that sickness, principally
chills and fever, is prevailing to an unusual ex-
tent in the parish of East Baton Rouge.
The editor Of the Clinton Ratriaf, who has
just visited Camp Moore, says there are quite
number OF cases Of measles in the camp.
