week states that the town of Randolph Tenn is being
fortified This town lies just at the bottom of curve
in the river, and completely commands it for three
miles up, as between the two bends there is neither
island nor any other obstruction. They bad seven
brass 6-pounders pointing up the stream, and were
bringing battery from Fort Hudson, near Baton
Rouge. Two 42pounders were taken up on the boat
which brought him, and five more were to come from
Baton Rouge. They will completely command the
river This considered the strongest stragetca point
below Cairo. There were about 500 troops at this
place last Saturday. They were shouting "For
Cairo and expected to move on in short time and
rendezvous with Kentuckians to attack the city which
they appeared TO count upon as doomed. The river
had fallen four feet at the mouth of the Ohio and there
was no danger that the water could be let in through
the levees to food Cairo indeed there was no danger
at high water, as the banks efficiently guarded.

rHE rRUru ABOUT HARpER's FERRY.


A letter from the same young soldier, whose state
ments In regard TO matters at Harper's Ferry have
already appeared in The Buffalo Commercial Adrer-
tiser has just been received We publish the follow
ing interesting extract from this second epistle
CARLISLE BARRACKS, Pa, May 4, 1861.
The only regret have 10 regard to Har-
per's Ferry is that Lieut.. now Capt. Jones, was
obliged to withdraw sooner than he anticipated, and
that thus the destruction Of buildings and machinery
was not 20 thorough as it might have been The miss
ing men, with the exception of two deserer have re-
turned-the Last one reaching here yesterday. lie
reports that the number of finished arms destroyed
as estimated by workmen there, was from 10000
aged to save 900 or 900 in an unfinished state.
They are, however, finishing them us rapidly az

deal Of the machinery wac uniDjuied but they lind it
very difficult TO obtain workmen who are willing to
work entirely from patriotic ~ motiyes-pM no
prospect of pay There are some 1900 troops there,
in most miserable condition. Without any regular
COmmissary, aud with no money, they are obliged
to live best they upon what they can plumber
from the neighboring farmers. OF course they are
much opposed TO coerc0nthey only request tribute at
the point of the bayonet. The men discontented
and grumbng-anxious to get back to their farms and
business. Our corsde says that he believes there is
. strong Union feeling among the people, but it is
kept down by force. The source of great regret with
most Of the inhabitants is the same 40 with usthatwe
did not Entirely wipe out the place. The attack on U.S.
or rather the advance some three or four hours
before expected and consequently our plans were
not fully contaminated Too much credit cannot DO
given TO Leut Jones for bis conduct and for the very
kind manner in which he watched over and protected
while there.

A gentleman who arrived from Harpers Ferry
yesterday furnishes with some information concern
ing the condition of affairs in that neighborhood. lie
represents the condition of the citizens of that town
as being very bad. All were out of employment, and
some were without money, and provisions were very
high One man offered to ,ell for $50 each, houie

troops there but the number had been reduced by de-
tschments being sent to different parts Of the State
On Saturday orders were received TO have all the
Government property vacated and the impression was
that reenforcements would reach there. We have
since received information verifying this statement,
requirements from Kentucky and Tennessee having
reached there Sunday.
The troops had been doing pretty much as they
pleased compelling farmers TO furnish provisions, and
pressing Others with their teams, into the service to
haul provisions into town, for all OF which they were
being paid in Virginia scrip.
Only about three thousand stand of arms land the
greater part Of them old flint locks fell into the
hands of the Secesiopists after the evacuation Of the
armory by the United States troops.
The gentleman gave it his opinion that reaction
would take place as soon ~ the Government took
some encouraging stand-hat the good old Union feel
ing Of the surrounding counties would break forth.

To-day, at one O'Clock, We shalt cease re-
ceiving communications for publication on
the baby question, in reply to an article
signed 'JUBius," in the Pass on Monday.
We cen not permit our paper to be absorbed
any longer by this subject. 1t is not good
newspaper policy 10 continue any sensation
affair longer than three days; aud this is in
every respect sensational. The babies have
kesn head in the PREss, through mothers
who wrote feelingly, aud maideus who
wrote critically. Nothing severer can be
done unless the babies appear in person.
The Herodian article has brought out elo-
quent champions of the innocents. The ma
ternal instict has been renewed even where
it was almost smothered by fashion and So
cietv. Several men of our acquaintance have,
in the indignation excited by the article,
abandoned billiards and "nippers" for their
neglected babies. Faces stteuuated by soli'
tsTy vigils have been shortened aud bright

bands, recalled to sense of duty by this at
