evening hour for setting a hen. There

will be found tho hen has taken con

a hen at amy time of the day, and, 10

THE immense dry goods establishment Of
r. c. Brant & Co., OF Leayenworth, is
probably ahead oil any similar house in the
Western country, in all that goes to make
up frst-class wholesale Dry Goods store.
Itwas established in the beginning of last
summer, and already it is known all over
the country; and in every village and ham
let in the State, BranC & Co. have their Gus
toners. who have been attracted there by
the variety, the excellence and the cheap
ness-of their goods.
While at Leavsnvvoltb, a, lev days ago,
We crowded our way through the lhrong of
customers, and examined the stock of goods
to some extent. Two stories of one of the
largest store-houses in the city were utterly
crammed with goods. In quality and
price, no one can fail 10 be suited. We did
not go in to buy goods, but the temptation
was.s o'great that we came out with almost
an agm7lqad. The goods are 50 nice and 80
cheap loFthe times thats.you cannot help
buying, if you only so and look at them
when in Leavenworth. In another column
will be found an advertisement from this

or southwest is cut Off His retreat must
now be towards Memphis.
Gen. Mitchelps division of Gen. Buelps
army, our readers remember, did not ac-
company the main body towards Savannah,
but from Nashville bore off directly South.
The telegraph now advises us that Gen.
NJ, on the l1th inst, entered the city of
Huntsville, Alabama, taking two hundred
rebel prisonern and selling fifteen locomo-
tives, together with a large amount OF
railroad rolling stock. Huntsville is a
place of between five and six thousand
inhabitants, situated on the Memphis and
Charleston RAILROAD, about twenty-five
miles south Of the Tennessee State line 1T is
two hundred and twelve miles south of
east from Memphis, forty-seven miles east
of Florence sand Tuscumbia, and ninty-
seven miles southwest Of Chattanooga.
The possession Of Huntsville cuts off the
Confed crates eastern line of retreat from
Corinth and Memphis, which was left
open by Gen. Lew. WallGce's division
when it marched to the reinforcement of
Gen. Grant at Pittsburg Landing. The
previous withdrawal of the rebel Gen.
Sidney Johnston's forces from Chatta-
nooga to the support of Beauregard ana
Bragg at Corinth, leave Gen. Mitchell, an
easy task in establishing himself at
Chattanooga, which is, by nature, very
strong military position.

Gen. Fry'S Regiment.

We are satisfied after diligent inquiry of
various persons who were at and IN the
battle of Pittsburg, that the reproach
attempted by the Chicago Tribune and some
of its correspondents to be cast upon the
6lst Ill. regiment--Col JACOB FRY Sis I'M
merited and unjust The regiment was
In Prentss' division, and with the rest of
that division, was surprised before all were
out of bed. Yet in five minutes after the
alarm, we are assured the regiment was in
line, and, although halt the men were for
the first ten minutes without cartridges,
they kept in line, and fought for four
straight hours, until the division was COM
pletely surrounded, and nearly hall of it
taken prisoners with their commanding
General. There was nothing like panic
or stampede among the men of the 6Ist,
and, after the first ten minutes, no confu-
sion. Col Fry himself, we are most happy
to learn although fighting at the head of
his regiment during those four dreadful
hours, escaped without a scratch, but,
hatless, coatless, add almost without a shirt.
Tge day after the battle his regiment,
which had numbered some 600 effective
men, mustered less than 200, the greater
part OF the loss being made up of killed
and wounded, the impression being that
but small proportion of the men of this
regiment were taken prisoners.

Pleasant weather on Friday of last week
brought out the long expected Merrimac
on her second visit accompanied by fleet
of gunboats-the jamestown, Yorktown,
Teazer, dc, fleet of a dozen vessels in
all. She came out from Sewelfs Point and
headed toward James River. The fleet
sailed around several hours, almost within
shot of Newport News, when the James
town came around, leaving Newport
News to her left, and captured three
Union schooners anchored near the shore,
with which the fleet returned to Norfolk.
Nothing could have been more bold and
daring. Yet beyond a few shots fired by
the Stevens battery, Naugatuck, at a safe
distance, no attempt was made to inter

in most respects far above that of ordinary
men, was model of manly dignity and
honor, and yet of engaging simplicity and
unaffected modesty. While, in the Ian
guage of the schools, he was not schol-
lar: yet, in addition to his professional
knowledge, he had wellstored and dis
ciplined mind, familiar with English liter
ature, and in his own composition, Gas his
official report Of his Brigade at Donelsion
will show,) he welded the pen of a grace
full writer.
He was not what is termed a man Of
cultivated and polished manners; but a
nobility of soul, and truly respectful
and courteous demeanor to every person,
and under all circumstances, made him
everywhere and at all times, gentlemen
One would hardly have supposed that
spirit so gentle, disposition so modest
and retiring, was meet for the warrior and
chieftain. Yet Wallace was at the head
of his column, unabashed, calm, and
dauntless of soul His men had all con-
fdepce in him. Under such Generals
men do not run. They realize the value
of the life of their leader, the soundness
of his judgment and the justice of his
cause.
But he is gone. He sleeps with the
heroic dead He has closed an honorable
career He leaves an untarnished repu-
tatior. The men uf Illinois will ever be
proud to say-we knew him well.

Great Democratic Victory in Chicago

The Hon. F. C. SHERMAN, democratic
nominee, was on Tuesday elected Mayor
of Chicago over c. n. HOLDEN, republican
nominee by llS3 majority. The result is
as gratifying as it is unexpected. The
effect in favor of restoring the Union and
discouraging secession will be equal to a
Union victory on the battle field The
republican leaders in Chicago had not on
ly invited Wendell Phillips to that city to
deliver his disunion lectures, but applaud
ed his reasonable utterances, and TO make
their endorsement the more emphatic,
had invited him to repeat his lecture.
Under such circumstances, their success
at the municipal election on Tuesday
would have amounted to full endorse,
ment of Phillips by the commercial
metropolis of the northwest, and jeff.
Davis and Gov. Pickens, Of S c., who in
official documents had acknowledged the
great service such men as Phillips, Chand-
ler &c, had rendered the secession cause
by their violent speeches, would have
been able also to name the great city oil
Chicago as entitled to their special graft
tude. The defeat Of Holden, however
shows that the people of that great city
have had their eyes opened, and loving
the old Union and the old constitution
are as ready to meet their enemies at the
polls as in the field, whether sailing under
false colors as abolitionists, or the stsrs
and bars as avowed traitors. The excuse
the Chicago republican papers give for
their defeat is the most laughable part Of
the whole business "The plain truth is, -
says one, "the democrats voted and the
republicans did not" Very likely, and
for the good reason that the republicans
were not there to vote For the same ex.
cellent reason the Union party in South
Carolina and Georgia were out-voted by
the secessionists.
The real truth is, that although a
majority Of the voters of Chicago are un
doubtedly republican in name, a large
proportion of that majority are not aboli
tionists, and when the issue was fairly
presented them of Wendell Phillips
Tribune aboiitionism against Union con
servative democracy, they preferred the
latter, and so voted
