the rsmparts and two on the ground in front
of the fort-OAe l2-inch mortar, one rifed
cannon (s-pOunder), two riAed I2-pOunde1,
and the balance heavy s-inch and s2-pound-
ers. There was q supply of one hundred
tons of powder and shell stored in the mag
sEine. The troops of the garrison were
armed with smooth-bore muskets The fort
stands on Cockspur Island, which is sepa-
rated from Tybee Island by q crook or arm
Of the sea. 1t is an irregular pentsgon, with

The curtain, which is simply crenelIated,

Sand-bag traYerses guard the magazine doors,
and everything is arranged in excellent or

and are upwards Of six feet in thickness, and
were thought to be Of strength and solidity
sufficient to resist any proiectiles.
The classmates and bOmb-proofs are lofty
and capaciOus. The regular garrison of the
fort would be $50 men, and its full armament

The General eongratulates the army under
his command on the imperishable honor won
yesterday by a portion of it on the Battle
Field Of Shiloh, near Pittsburg Landing
The alacrity and zeal by which they pressed
forward by forced marches to the succor of
their comrades Of q sister army imperilled by
the attack Of an Overwhelming force; the
gaIiantry with which they assaulted tt g ene-
my and the persevering courage with which
they maintained an incessant conflict against
superior numbars from o'clock in the morn.
ing until evening, when the enemy was driv-
en- from the held, are incidents which poiut
to a great service nobly performed.
The General reminds bis troops AGAIN that
such results are not attained by Individual
urowegu alone; that Bubordinatiou nDd 49,
ful training are essential to the sficiepcv Of
every amy; and that the success which has
given them q brilliant page in history. is
greatly due to the readiness with which thew

lEor th. CleEelsnd Leader. !

EDS. LEADER This has been a day Of
Joy to this community. Il being generally
understood that Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon would
return from Cleveland on the noon train, our
citizens collected in crowds at the station,
the College, and Mr.. GOrdOn's residence, to
welcome them home. No victor bearing the
spoils Of vaDquished enemy was ever well
coined to his native city with more heartfelt
Joy. The farmer left his plow, the mechanic
his workshop, and the merchant his counter,
to meet them and do them honor. Nor were
the ladies inactive in this ovation, for as they
came, they brought the good things of earth
in rich profusion. The tables were spread in
the dining-han of the College Boarding
House, where our returned friends and the
assembled people fsasted and rejoiced to-
gethsr. After dinner we repaired to College
Hall, where the meeting was organized by
calling DR.. McBeth to the Chair, and appoint
ing James Aud, Jr., Secretary. Speeches
were heard from D. n. Hammond, Esq, Prot.
Henry, Rev. George Gordon, and R. HAM
mond. The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
RssOlVsd, That while We highly esteem the
action of Mr.. Lincoln in Internationally par
doning our very worthy fellow citizen, Rev.
Geo. Gordon, we repudiste as utterly false
the assertion that Mr.. Gordon was HVegaly
convicted, believing still, as before, that ac-
cording to all law, properly so called, divine
or human he is guiltless; and notwithstand-
ing the mean and unprincipled charges Of
mercenary scribblers in the Cleveland Her
ald and such pitisble sheets, we would again
express our fullest confidence in the integrity
and uprightness of Mr.. Gordon, and COM
mend him for bis bold and manly course as
8 representative of the holy cause in which
he suffered.
After ordering a report of the proceedings
to be furnished the Cleveland LEADER for
publication the meeting adjourned.

The 14rh OhIo Battery.

The Warren Chronicle has the following
in relation to Capt. J. B. Burrows l4th
Ohio Battery;
aThis battery was formed largely Of Trum-
bull county men. 1t is not to be wondered
that the news that the 14th Ohio Battery
had been captured by the enemy caused great
anxiety in this place, for several days past.
The anxiety was increased on Monday by Q
report that Capt Burrows had telegrsphed
10 Painesville that his command was badly
cut up. We have no doubt that the brave
boys stood by their guns to the last and
yielded only when resistance was longer i'm
possible"
Capt Burrows home is in Geneva, Ash
tabula county, where he practiced law prior
to the war. BE was in Kenney's Battery
during the three months service, and was
one Of the foremost in the attack upon Phil
ippi. he is 9 IbraYe man and good officer
and we have full confidence that be and biz
men did their full duty on the bloody fields
of Shiloh.
The enly positive information We are able
to obtain in regard to this battery, is that i
took prominent part in the action, and il
thus spoken of by the correspondent of th'
Cincinnati Times:
"a desperate charge had just been mad
upon the l4th Ohio Battery, and it not being
sufficiently sustained BY force Of infantry
it was at last relinquished and fell into tn
hands of the enemy"
