is it certain that Baell has succeeded in
throwing q large force between CORN tn
and the Grand junction, where the Tus-
cumbia r. r. intersects with the one
from Memphis, but, if true, the retreat of
the rebels is an impossbilty, as Mitch
ell will prevent their escaping INTO Miss
issippi to unite with Lowell. l should
not be much surprised TO learn, howev-
Ell, that the rebels had, previous to this,
moved all their stores to some point, end
by tomorrow. perhaps Corinth will be
evacuated. New Madrid, Island No. 10,
and Yorktown, have followed in quick
succession, and this must be the next in
the scale.
On the 9th inst an extensive recon.
noisance was made by nearly the whole
of Hamiltons division to Pennington
and southwark, which resulted in show
ing that the enemy had drawn in their
line of pickets except toward the left
flank, where they are amply supported
by artillery, and fallen back behind Cor
NTH. We travelled through tie swamp
by the northern road, and reached the
heights east of Pennington at IL a. M,
where our regiment was drawn up in
line of battle supporting Dodge's I'd To-
wa Battery. No foe or anything tina; in .
dica'ed danger could be seen. Two days
after this the I'd Iowa Cavalry had quite
a severe skirmish with them near the
point where we had been, and were COM
PEELED to retire, oosing sixty men in kill
ed and wounded, and eighty horses.
The Major of the Illinois 9TH was also
shot.
Lieut.. White has arrived here with
his band of recruits, who were all well
and in good spirits. OF course the old
campaigners look down upon them a lit
tie, volunteering now and then sage adj.
vice, but all passes off smoothly. l do
not wish to fauer Lieut.. White, by any
means, but must say that he looks re-
markably well in his regimentals, and
predict for him a successful career.
Lieut.. Lewis has been some what unwell.
but is now getting better.
MAY 4th.-We are under marching
orders, but have not moved out Of the
camp yet. Many think that the ball will
open this afternoon. | had intended to
give you description Of the battle field
of Shiloh, but the sun is coming down
too warm to write, and may have some
thing of mora interest to tell you in my
next. c. j. r.

The voters of Perry township, this P.
NJ, met in accordance with a previous
notice, and organized by calling George
Hovey, Esq, to the Chair, and apr oint,
ing E. B. Cook, Secretary. After being
organized the object Of the meeting was
stated by Mr.. John Cameron to be, to
take into consideration the merits and de-
merits of the Dog Law. He made some
excellent remarks, and was followed By
our highly esteemed townsman, Charles
Melrose, who considered the law more
tyrannical than any act ever passed by
the Legislature of Iowa, and If our Rep
resentatives were not careful they would
soon have the laws on one side and the
people on the other Mr.. nj. L. Depoy,
E. Parker, S. f. Searls, Lewis Hovey,
Geo. Hovey and Lester Reynolds, made
some telling remarks against the law, to-
gether with many others, and but very
lew words were spoken In favor of the
law. AT the close of the meeting the
following resolutions were unanimously
passed:
RESOLVED, That we do utterly disap-
prove of the Dog Law, and that we earn
esuy request that no person in this town
ship shall put the law in force, as it was
made for the wool growing part of the
State.
RESOLVED, That we respectfully request
the farmers and mechanics Of this town
ship, to give all the work and labor with
in their means to all such idlers and
loafers as may be tempted to enforce the
Dog Law for living.
Resolved, That copy of the doings
Of this meeting be handed to the Editors
of the Guardian and Civilian for publ
cation.
On motion the meeting adjourned sine
die

Brilliant Charge.

GS- The Iowa Second Cavalry made
the most brilliant cavalry charge of the
war against the enemy at the battle of
Pennington, n ar Corinth. The cores
pendent Of the New York World says
that it was hardly surpassed by the ia
nous charge of the English Light Brig
ade, and like that charge, was the result
Of very rash order. But the brave
fellows of the Second never hesitated,
though the batteries were admirably
placed, and were supported by ten
thousand men. Lieut. GORDON, com
manded three small mpanies Of regu
lar cavalry in the same division, ana the
correspondent says
Lieut.. Gordon, who is himself q conspic-
Rous character in more than one charge OF
Cavalry, says the sight transcribed all belief.
The brave lowans, who had but recently left
their plows field, now called upon TO face
death and ride to the lannon's mouth with
the true spirit Of heroes filed up the raylne,
and on reaching the top OF the hill spread out
gallopel up TO the batteries, demolishing like
lighting line of skirnishers in their way.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them.
Volleyed and Numbered
Truly enough for the whole of the guns
were sweeping the plain with sharpncll and
canister, Luckily the depression was too
great. The balls whistlel and flew into the
ground all round and beneath them. The
mortality among the horses was ftarful--nine-
tY-tlree of the number being wounded and
killed. Col. Hatch's anxiety for his men to
follow him now changed into an anxiety to
recall them. Onward they charged, right up
to the batteries slashing and hewing down the
gunaers with their sabres, dead to the call Of
their gallant leader, who saw that the object
was accomplished, the guns limbcred and
si!cneed, and the enemy on the right in dis
order, while on the left he was closing in.
Orlerlics sent to the different companies fl
nally rallied the men. Slowly and deliberate
" they rode back over the field. The enemy
was silent on the left. Our artillery aud in
f;lntry had passed into the woods, and were
falling back 10 the main body The route was
strewn with dead horses. The wounded were
helped on to the horses oftheir comrades, while
the endorsed took to the woods on the left
Gordon, who, more pruicnty but with equal
GOODNESS remained i'm the rear saw the despcr-
ate charge, and cared for the sufferers burying
t,co on the field Dah sabres chile still under tire
Taken altogether, this is one of the most mag
nlhcent fcats of the war. No cavalry charge
since that of the memorable Light Brigade is
comparable with it. In these days, when
cavalry is beginning to be hooked on with some
dis rust, it is creditable TO see one regiment
which viii not finch in its duty even ut the
risk of certain death.
There were four hundred men in the
charge, and of these two were killed,
forty one wounded. and one missing.

Captain Ericsson has planned a large
seagoing Monitor, with single turret
plated with iron "a inches thick, and
armed with two guns, carrying a ball
1000 pounds in weight. Two of these
formidable vessels will probably be
ordered. The Monitor is regarded the
best iron clad vessel yet tested.
