MORE PARTICULARS OF THE CAPTURE OF THE
LINCOLN STEAMER EoUALITY.-We have be-
fore narrated a portion of the particulars at
tending the capture of the Lincoln steamer
Equality by Capt. j. NJ. Irwin. 1t seems
there were seven men engaged IN it, and after
assuming command at Cairo, they made
double-quick time to Columbus. Once arriv-
ed there, five of the captors mounted their
horses and rode into the town to look out for
the gun boats they expected would pursue
them, and while they were absent Captain
Irwin, who remained on board, saw the
smoke OF the Conestoga and Lexington
around the bend, and at once started out
leaving bis companions on shore The
Equality had got within about ten miles of
New Madrid when her fuel gave out, and she
was in a fair way of bring re CAPTURED, when
the Grampus, Capt. Marsh Miller, met her,
and learning the circumstances, at once took
her in tow, and landed her under the guns of
the batteries at New Madrid. The pursuing
boats came within sight of New Madrid.
when they turned about and started for Cairo.
The names of the gentlemen, most OF whom
followed the Equality to New Madrid. be-
sides Capt. Irwin, are Messrs. Clark, Stew
art, Finley. Loalman, and two others. The
Equality is now employed by Gen. Pillow in
conveying dispatches, etc. The Conestoga is
said to be boat of considerable speed, but
as her huge wheel astern is unprotected. one
well-directed shot would disable her COM
pletely.-Hngphis Avalanche.

Lincoln Troops at Camp Dick Robin.

We understand that there are between two
and three thousand troops at camp Dick Rob
inson, at Hoskin's Cross Roads, Garrard Co.
They have, we are informed, been mustered
into service, under the Lincoln Government,
and are receiving pay. Ii is understood that
Hon. Garrett Davis has visited the camp,
with view of securing the disbandment of
the troops, but his efforts have proved in vain.
1t is also said that considerable feeling was
manifested among the troops against Mr.. Da-
Wis, and some denounced such Union men as
be as no better than Secessonists.-Lo Lon Cour.

ExPLorTs OF CAPT. MARSH MILLER.9Capt
Marsh Miller, of the Government steamer
Grampus, formerly a tow-boat, and one of
the fastest on the river, is making himself ia
nous by his daring exploits in accommodating
Cairo and Birds Point. A few nights since,
learning that General Prentiss had dispatched
eighty-one guns to Ailburn, fourteen miles
above Columbus, for the use of some Union
men IN that section, and ascertaining their
whereabouts, be proceeded thither with his
boat, and succeeded in obtaining possession
Of every one of them. They were taken to
New Madrid, and we understand are now in
possession of the Southern Guards. lit is
nothing unusual to Capt Miller to take his
boat within sight of Cairo, blow her whistle
as il inviting the gun-boats there to pursue
him, and, after remaining there awhile, to
slowly start down the river. a few nights
since he paid visit to Island No. 1, six miles
from Cairo, TO ascertain if the Lincolnites

MONSTER BEIIs.-Russia is eminently the

in full vigor, "not swinging slow with sullen
roar" for they are too heavy to be swung, but
necessarily tolling and booming and deafenng
all ears but those of Russians, who almost wor-
ship their BELLS In Moscow alone, before the re-
volution, there were 1,700 large bells, which
number has increased now to 5000. The Great
Bell of Moscow. of which every one has heard
was cast in 1868, by order of the Empress Anne.
Its weight is variously estimated at from 100000
to 100000 lbs. it is tweDty-one feet three inches
high, and about twenty-five feet in diameter at
the mouth. In 1887 the Czar Nicholas caused IL
to be taken out of the pit in which it lay, and to
be placed upon the granite PEDESTAL as it is now
seen. Upon it's side is seen the figure Of the En-
press Anne, in flowing robes. 1t has been conse-
Grated as a chapel the Russians regarding il with
supersttious veneration, and will not allow a
particle to be taken from it as a specimen Of the
metal. The entrance to it is through large
fracture or opening in the side, whence piece
has been broken out. There is now suspended
in Moscow, upon the tower of St. Ivan, bell
weighing l4i, 900 lbs, cast in 1877 the diameter

An UNREASONABLE REQUEsT.-Wbent the United
States army started for Utah, there was scarcity
of transportation, or, in other words, there were
too few baggage wagons. Now every soldier
knows how like the apple of ones eye are these
same baggage wagons, drawn. as they are, by six
mules, on the long marches across the plains.
colonel of Dragons, who had command OF
one of the columns, restricted the officers very
much in their allowance of baggage, and was
bitter if any one tried to exceed the Just amount.
One morning the colonel met one his captains
Ga dragoon, of course,) when he burst out as fol-
lows:
"Captain, do you know what these artillery Of
fcers want TO take across the plains ?"
"No, colonel, do not said the captain with
an enquirng look
"Well," said he, If you'll believe me, there's
one of them wants to take over box of books. y
Z" Books y exclaimed the captain "what next,
] wonder? Now, colonel, | have but little to
take across myself nothing, in fact, but barrel
Of whisky"
"Of course, captain, of course anything in
reason, anything in reason but the idea of car
rying a parcel of books across that stretch of
country is a little more than can stand"

LINCoIN's HOME ORGAN on NATIONAL AFFAIRS,
The Springfield, Ills, Journal, published at
the home of the President elect edited, il Is said,
by his nephew, has leader on secession, which
is creating considerable talk among politicians,
for the reason that 1t is presumed to speak by
authority.
1t says South Carolina cannot dissolve the
Union by the simple Passage of resolutions or
other passive demonstrations Her federal off
GERS may resign, and she may close her courts
and pos-ofices, but she cannot get out of the I'm
ion until she conquers this government.
While this government endures there can be
no disunion.
If South Carolina does not Obstruct the collec-
ton of the revenues at her ports, nor violate any
other federal law, there will be no trouble, and
she will not be out of the Union. If she violates
the law then comes the tug of war.
The President of the United States in such an
emergency, has plain duty to perform. Mr..
Buchanan may shirk it, or the emergency may
not exist during his administration. If not then
the Union will last through bis term Of office.
If the overt act on the part of South Carolina
takes place on or after the lst of March, 1861
then the duty of executing the laws will devolve
upon Mr.. Lincoln. The laws of the United
States must be executed. The President has nc
discretionary power on the subject His duty II

Mr.. Lincoln will perform that duty.

The widow is dangerous thing,
With soft, bright shiny curs,
And lookeih more bewitching,
Than host of ronping girls
Her laugh is so delicious
So known. clear, besides,
You'd never dream her thinking
Soon to become a bride.
Her dress. though made Of sables,
Gives roundness to her form
A touch of something thoughtful,
A witching. winning charm
And when she sits down by you,
With quiet, winning grace,
A tear may fall unbidden,
Or smile light up her face.
Her voice is soft. melodious,
And lutte like in its tone
She sometimes sighs. . tits dreadful
To pass through life alone -
And She tell you you remind her
Of the loved one dead and gone;
Your steps, your form, your features
Thus the sweet one win run on.
Oh listen. yet be careful.
For well she'll play her part;
Her lips distil the nectar
That doth enslave the heart,
BE guarded, or she'll win you,
With sighing. smiles and tears
In faith, she'll wear the breeches. TOO,
And box your silly ears.
