THE LATEST NEWS.

In consequence of the prohibition, by
the War Department, of the publication
of army movements, the news this week
is very meager. The Indications are,
however, that we are on the eve of great
battles. The following dispatch, taken
from the daily papers of Tuesday, gives
the latest aad most important items
from the army Of the West:
CAIRO, April7.
Ten P. NJ. We have glorious new to-
night from New Madrid. last night
the gunboat Pittsburgh run the block
ade in safety nnder terrible Ere from
the rebel batteries. Four steam trans
ports and fve barges were also got
through the slough from Phillips land :
ing, above Island No. 10, by Col. Rus
sells Corps of Engineers this morning,
under fire Of the gunboats, silencing one
of the rebel batteries
A company ofmen under Capts. Lewis
and Marshall, crossed the river and
spiked it. Another force took three
other batteries, spiked the guns and
threw the rebels ammunition into the
river At IL o'clock, in the face of
fire from other batteries, Gen. Paine
with four regiments and battery of
artillery, crossed the Mississippi, to the
Kentucky shore. Subsequently the
division of Gen. Stanley, and also Gen.
Granger, with his cavalry.
They are strongly posted and rea y
for any emergency. The spectacles of
SO large body of troops crossing in the
teeth of the enemy's battery was truly
magnificent. The praises of Gen. Pope
are upon every tongue.
1t is believed here that forty eight
hours will decide the fate of Island No.
10. 1t is hardly creditable, but reports
thus far agree, that not single cas-
ualty occurred during the whole of this
magnificent afuir
Since the above was put in type we
have received the following dispatches
by telegraph from Cincinnati, the first
of which contains merely the head lines
in Wednesdays paper:

E From the Commercial Of last
week, we learned that our special friend
Capt. Alf Armstrong Of the steamer
GJenwood, had purchased for himself a
summer retreat in the "delectable
mountains" about New river, Virginia
The news was highly gratifying, mas
much as we know the Captain to be the
"prince of good fellows" famous fol
hospitality and good cheer. In i'm
sgination, we already fancied our
selves pursuant to invitation, roaming
over the grounds of our friend, anC
"remote from cities" Willing away the
hot months in fishing, hunting and sucf
like innocent amusemeuts. But alas
the uncertainty of all things here below
The summer retreat" has retreated
beyond mortal vision. The Captain
informs us that the whole story is

FATAL AccIDENF.-On Monday eve-
ming last, at Mt. Vernon Furnace, in
this county, an accident occurred from
the explosion Of camphene lamp, BY
which Miss Jennie Scott, daughter Of
Robert Scott, was burned so badly that
she died the next day about noon
Her father, Mr.. Scott, was burned Sc
verely, though not dangerously. in try
ing TO extinguish the flames, and res
cue his daughter. The lamp was q
swinging one, and had just been trim
med, filed and lighted, few moments
before BY Miss Scott and her brother.
Miss Scott had started to the psrlor to
call her father and another gentleman
TO tea, and was passing directly under
the lamp, when it exploded, setting her
clothes on fire. with the above result
Miss Scott was one among the most
beautiful and accomplished young Ia
dies Of Lawrence county, the favorite
Of all, and her sudden death has cast
a gloom over the entire community
We learn from DR.. Wilson, who attend
ed on her, that she suffered very little
after the accident, was perfectly ration
al, and when reused up, conversed with
those about her. When asked il she
suffered much, she replied no, but
complained OF being very tired. The
scene at her death, DR.. Wilson informs
US, was the. most heart-rending he
ever witnessed-parents, brothers, sis
ters and friends giving way to their
feelings in the most violent screaming
and crying. Miss Scott appeared to be
Che calmest through the trying scene Of
all the vast number present. Her sis
ter. Miss Mamie Scott, was to have
been married to-day-Thursday-and
Jennie bad her trunks packed ready to
accompany her sister to her new home
in Chicago. But an over-ruling Prov
idence decreed otherwise, snd she now
has q better home in another and we
hope better world.-Aonton Register

ed in this town. He was radical. He
raked everybody. He commenced At
one end Of the town and With his
patent temperance seli-raker, raked
through the town, and then raked
back; he raked right, and then he
raked lea. He raksd the Ohio Iron
and Coal Company until there wasn't
moral straw, scarcely q stu6ole Of
them left He raksd the members Of
the bar-and didn't seem particular
whether it was the liquor bar or rothsT
bar-he only seems anxious to get up
6Gr-6ght on the temperance question.
He raked the ministers OF n the town
which the crowd seemed to think was
perfectly right--for they are able to
stand it-'tWon't hurt themi He rak-
ed the press--we are sure Of that for
although most people didn't take it
that way, we are positive, when he
spoke Of the power Of the press in this
community, he meant it, for ssrkassum,
as A. Ward says. Then he raked the
poor, sick, weak, helpless wemen--
those suffering ones who are compelled
to have a barrel of ale every week or
two, to enable them to stand up under
their oft in6rmitiesl What if the ale
does 90 down the throats Of their hus-
bands?-isn't the cure Just IS etfec-
tual? He then rsked the doctors-fore
and aft-up and d6wn-for their share
Of the liquor drinking done in this
town. And we would not be surpris-
ed il, the next time. Bro. Dsvy took
sick, some physician should prescribe
for him three measures Of ale each day
for three hundred and sixty-fve days
each year during the balance Of his
natural lifel He raked the pole-csts
and pole -kittens-those dirty animals
which infest the holes in the highways
and by-vsys of our town, and peddle
their sinking efHuYia at Eve cents a
popT P-H-K-w-! He raked every
body. except Bro. Dsvy! His speech
was decidedly Of the religio-polictico-
tempero-rakingO style; a scattering shot
and raking FIRE at all characters. As
the Doctor said, "this is a mere outline
Of the beauties Of bis speech. To be ap-
preciated it should have been hesrd." "
And when Bro. Dsvy makes another
temperance speech, may we be there to
hear.-IrontOn Reg, lsth.
