The News.

Last nights dispatches from Cairo,
bring the news that an expedition has
gone up the Tennessee river, under Col.
Grant, and that troops have been landed
within four miles Of Fort Henry. The
rebel force, in the Fort, is estimated at
$4,000. A battle was expected on tho
day of the diapatch, the 5th.
They English papers clamor more vio-
lently than ever that the blockade shall be
broken and the Southern Confederacy
recognized by England and France. The
Times advises the Government to wait a
little longer before taking this COURSE
That these powers wiW recognize the Con-
federacy unless We strike some efectual
blows soon, is beyond doubt. Now is the
time for Gen. Mcclellan to verify his pre-
diction Of "short but desperate" war.

sire to come. 1t may be the only opportunity
for their transportation that will occur for
several months. There are many reasons why
men who want actual service should join u.s.
We have q first rate Colonel, and are attaining
great proficiency in company and battalion

eminent Kentucki.n, and the majority Of the

There is still room in this excellent
company for fifteen or twenty more men.

offers 50 great inducements to young men

first place, Capt. Andrews is we'll known
here as gentlemen who would pay every
attention to the comfort and health of his
men-to provide as far as possible for their
wants when sick, and to expose them to
no Unnecessary danger. Secondly, the
company is composed largely Of men from
Stearns and adjoining Counties; so that
volunteers from this portion Of country
would be able to- feel 1t home, and not
have that sensation Of loneliness expert.

ST. PAUL, Fob. 3. 1862.
DEAR WILL had thought to start
for Madison, Wis. to-day, but having been
on the sick list most of the time since my
lecture here, I postpone until Friday. I
have not visited Legislature or any place
else except to spend a day At Gov. Ram
s.y's and 80 to preaching yesterday, so
that I have not been picking up news very
fast: ~.
Eat tao statement made in my last
about Gen. Sherman, l am glad to learn,
was !: mistake. 1 made it on the positive
assurance Of 4 gentleman upon whose &C.
curacy I have found reason to rely; but
he had confounded Gen.. Sherman with
), Major Pembertou of his command, who
was known to be disloyals and with whom
Gen, Sherman had sorioas difficulty on &C
count Of his openly avowed disloyalty.-
It was of him that the Republicans of St.
Paul autographed to Washington. Gen.
Sherman was believed, in St. Paul, to be
thoroughly loyal.
l regret to learn that letters have been
received here from some of our Cong ress-
men expressing the opinion that no con-
fscation bill can pass the present Con-
gress. When Congress assembled large
! majority were in favor of con6scating the
property Of rebels, but fnding:the admin
istration 6xedly opposed to such policy,
and wishing to avoid Divisions they have
= settled down into the old plan Of regard
ing property as more sacred than life, and
III order to be consistent, all manner Of
: property is to share the sanctity hitherto
' extended to slaves alone. So that our
Minnesota soldiers may kill J. G. Breck.
inrsdge if they can catch him, but the
United States authorities may not invali-
date hBttitls to the property he holds in
-? Minnesota. Slidell may involve us in a
var, With England, but his twenty-five
thousand a,res Of Minnesota land is to be
secured to him and heirs. While tho prop
erty Of Union men is confscated by the
Cenfoderatea, and no redress afforded by
the Federal evsrnment, that: Of rebels i
to be secured and preserved to them by al:
thepowers of both parties. We cannot think
Of a better way Of offering a premium for
rebellion, and it appears almost impossible
that such a course can, be persevsred in
without producing rebellion in thesloyal
