Work for the Army IN tho PenItentinry.

"Ork IoE AnS army IN INC
We made visit to the Pententiary yesterday in
company with Capt. Ross of the Artillery, and
were highly gratllei at the forwardness of the
work for supplying the army with the equipments
Of the soldier. Col. JoRNsoN the polite and ener-
getc agent, accompanied into all the departments
and we found everything progressing satisfactorily
and with extraordinary energy, under his superin-
tendence. There are &C men employed alone in
making cartridges, in the proportion Of 10000 a
day, and in few days the proportion will greatly
increase, from the skill derived by experience.
We also visited the room in which muskets are
being repaired and cleaned There are 50 men en-
ployed here and an average of 100 guns are being
put in order.
Some of the old muskets are very much out Of
order, but they are made as bright and perfect, as
when new, under the hands of the men.
Various hands are employed in making cap boxes,
cartridge belts havresacks camp chairs, stools and
cots military chests, etc, etc. with zeal and IN
dustry that reflect the highest credit the mana
gers Of the institution. We were delighted with
the industry, earncstness and yigor with which the
important details of the work going for
ward Ii all branches rof military preparation
sre pressed forward in the same manner, our vol
unteers will go forth armed and equipped in

that skirmish took place Saturday, below.
? We learn the steamer J. NJ Smith was below at
about IL or o'clock, attending to errands at
Boush's Bluff. when she was fired at by the steamer
Monticello of the blockadng squsdron.
The Monticello fired blank cartridge across the
bow Of the Smith to warn her to lay to- but as the
Smith disregarded the warning the Monticello tLen
fired shot which missed its mark Capt Young, at
Boush's Bluff Battery, then fired two shots at
the Monticello, Que of which it Is believed struck
her She theR backed out and opened her fire on the
earth works now erecting at Sewslrs Point which,
it is believed she destroyed. So far nobody hurt"
Repeated firing has been heard from below since
the above took place.

fold. First, That all may have an opportunity
of learning music at only five cents a lesson. -
Second BY bringing the price within the reach
OF all. 1t is expected that large and interest
ing class may be obtained. Children at the
age of l0are old enough 10 commence the study
of music. Particular attention will be given to
the cultivation of the voice. As Elocution is
intimately connected with Vocal Music, ten
minutes of every lesson will be devoted to re-
citations in Prose and Poetry. Those who do
not wish to learn to read music will find this
branch of instruction worth the price of ticket

ruined Town.

An officer of Gen Sturgis' command in
Missouri writes to bis friends in Cincinnati:
"Thc ruins of Osceola present sad pic
ture Of war. Osceola was the county seat
of ST. Clair county, bad a population Of two
or three Thousand, and did very largo bu-
siness. 1t was great rendezvous Of seccs-
sionists, and here the Confederate army un-
der General Price was supplied with car
tridges and number Of other necessities Of
war. General Jim Lane had occasion 10
come to the little city about four weeks ago.
He was fred upon while marching through.
Immediately the town was set on FIRE by
his men, and those citizens who fred upon
him were shot dead. Not half dozen
houses are left, and have failed 70 fbd
more than three families now living there.
/ never thought a city sacked and burned
would be cheering sight, but it was to-day.
Jim Lane understands the crisis. If YOU
would kill the viper, cut off its head, not
stick It with pin, that only pains and in
furiates. The loss of Osceola to the seces-
sion carse will be more severely felt than
the lives of five thousand men in battle"

Disguise it as we will, we yet have the fact
staring us in the face, that the great necessity
of the hour is more men 1t seems that we can
not, or ,riA not comprehend the magnitude of
this contest between government and anarchy,
between freedom and despotism for if we do
there is a criminal negligence that amounts al
most to treason. Russell says the North il
lighting for an abstraction, and many here seen,
| in their conduct to adopt the declaration But
if the battles our brethren already in the field
are wagng, are for an abstraction, what would
be reality We need not however go so far.
Epay individ4dl IN lSanGusIy county is convinced
cftho jUSttess Of this lcar on our part and of the
duty to do all possible to support and carry it
on. There is a principle that causes men TO be-
lie hemsclres. That principle is the ioant of the
courage and bravery that inspires TO noble deeds
and truly patriotic devotion. We all k,,ov our
duty, but we are false to onr convictions, un-
true to the dictates of our own consciences, perv
many of us, and fail; even rettlse to perform IT,
Things may as well be called by their right
names, for the very men before whom the ora
tor declaims SO earnestly Of the duty incumbent
upon u.s. of the Importance of sustaining the
country and of the exceeding great reward for
right action now, will expatiate in the same
strain, with the same eamestness and then to
complete the climax Of absurdity and disgrace,
will refuse TO sign the muster-roll or TO budee
a single inch from comfortable tiresides oh /
for an example of Spartan devotion, an age of
genuine chivalry We are but the third gener-
alton from Washington, yet we are absolutely re-
J"sin9 obedience to the most imperious calls to
sustain the government and liberties that cost
him and his cOmpatriots so much toll, suffering.
and bloodshed. Think of Patrick Henry look
ing into the dim vista of the future, but eighty
fve years to behold the recreant sons of heroic
sires hasely giving mp liberty and country for the
delusiye hope of case and lite
This war will prove one thing at least, and
that is, whether we are brave people. If we
have this bravery that is so much needed to stir
up the great "reserve force yet unenlisted, those
now in the field need not long cry for more aid;
otherwise, our future is easily told. Young men.
