hred with all the energy that the pros
pect of the enemy's defeat could inspire.
The fire from the rebels was not, howev-
er, so vigorous, and they began to evince
a desire to withdraw. They fought as
they slowly moved back, keeping up their
fire from their artillery and muskets along
their whole column, and apparently dis
daining any motion which could be con
sidered as approximating to a retreat
As they retreated they went in excellent
order, battling at every point. and deliv-
ertng their fire with considerable effect.
Moving somewhat in the direction Of the
river, closely followed by our men, Gen.
Grant feared that some mistake might
occur on our part Of the gunboats, where
by our men might be injured by their
fire. Accordingly a messenger was sent
ordering the Tyler and Lexington to
"Steam up to Hamburg, four miles
above, and on no occasion to fire inland
before reaching that point, as our men
had driven the enemy so far that the shell
might injure the wrong party.
AT MONDAY.
1t was now a matter, settled beyond
dispute, that the enemy were retreating.
They were making but little fire, and
heading their entire column for Corinth.
by both roads leading ia that direction.
From all divisions of our lines they were
closely pursued, a calling fire being kept
upon their rear, which they still returned
at intervals, but withlttle or no effect.

time had now arrived, and a courier from
Gen. Grant had scarcely delivered his
message before the entire body was in
motion.
Those who have never witnessed a
charge vi so large q force OF hOrSemen
should have been there to have seen the
wild tumult of the eager riders, and ap-
parently equally excited steeds. The en-
envy have been driven beyond our fol- m
er lines, and are in full retreat in the di-
rectlon of Corinth.
In regard to this result, l think, we
may believe that the rebel leaders were
not as confident of success this morning
as when the contest of yesterday began,

captured, that "Beauregard had last
night ordered that two hundred empty
cars be sent to Corinth during the early
part of to-day" Whether this is true or
not. or whether it was p~repatory TO the

"Where are the Wide Awakes' now,

Without aspiring to the position OF de-
fender of Wide Awakes, we take the
privilege of answering where some of
those torch-light bearers may be found,
having knowledge of their whereabouts.
We have heard the question asked by
politicians on the streets, as we'll as pro-

may answer purpose to say that not one
of these street takers, to our knowledge,
has contributed cent or one atom OF
their small SOULS sympathy to the sup.
port of the national arms. We know Of
Wide Awakes, plenty of them, who are
in the ranks, carrying a musket. We
know of Wide Awakes, who are lingering
in hospitals under scorchlng fevers and
the racklng pains of severe wounds. And
ne know of Wide Awakes who have fal-
len on the field of battle-giying up their
lives to their countrys good.-Erte

His LAST WoRDs.-It has long been
observed by medical writers, that death
is frequently proceeded by insanity
This reminds US of case which occurred
many years ago in Philadelphia court,
where pretty young widow was in dan
ger of losing two.thirds of her husbands
estate his relations grounded their claim
on the alleged insanity of the defunct.-
1t may be we'll to premise that the pre-
siding Judge was not enly convivial, but
also gallant.
"What were your husbands last words?"
inquired the attorney.
The pretty young widow blushed, and
looking down, replied
"ld rather not tell"
"But, indeed, you must, ma'am. Your
claim must be decided by it."
Still the widow declined to tell.
At last a direct appeal from the bench
elected the information.
"He said, kiss me, Polly, and open that
other bottle of champagne"
We do not know whether it was admi-
ration for the deceased husband of the
living wife that inspired the Judge at
ttat instant, but he at once cried, with
all the enthusiasm of conviction-"Sen-
sble to the last!' and gave a verdict In
her favor at once.

I'LL KEEP EN- AWAKE. Near New
ark, N, j., lived very pious family who
had taken an orphan boy to raise, who,
by the way was rather unidentified. He
had imbibed very strict views on religious
matters, however, and once asked his
adopted mother if she didn't think it
wrong for the old farmers to come to
church and fall asleep, paying no better
regard to the service. She replied she
did. Accordingly before going to church
the next Sunday he filled his pockets
with apples. One bald-headed old man,
who invariably went to sleep during the
sermon. particularly attracted his atten-
ton, Seeing him at last nodding, and
giving nasal evidence of being in the
"land of Dreams" he hauled and took the
astonished sleeper with an apple square
on the top of his bald pate. The minis
ter and aroused congregation at once
turned around and gszed Indignantly at
this boy, who merely said to the preacher,
as he took another apple in his hand, with
sober, honest expression of countenance,
"You preach, I'll keep 'em awake"

One step and then another,
And the longest walk is ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent is mended;
One brick upon another,
And the highest wall is made;
One fake upon another,
And the deepest snow is laid.
So the little coral workers.
By their slow but constant motion
Have built those pretty islands
In the distant dark-blue oceal;
And the noblest undertakings
Mans wisdom hath conceived
By oft repeated efforts
Have been patiently achieved.
Then do not look disheartened
Der the work you have tc do,
And that such mighty task
You never can get through;
But just endeavor day by day
Another point to gain,
And soon the mountain which you feare'
Will prove to be a plain.
"Rome was not built in day."
The ancient proverb teaches;
And Nature, by her trees and flowers,
The same sweet sermons breaches.
Think not of far off duties,
But of duties which are near:
And having once begun a work,
Resolve to persevere.

CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE. - Several
years ago, and soon after the "anti- license
law" came into force in the Green Noun
tain State, traveller stopped at a hotel
and asked for glass of brandy. "Don't
keep it," said the landlord; "forbidden
by the law to sell liquor of any kind"
The deuce you are" retorted the
stranger, incredulously. "Such is the
fact" replied the host, "the house don't
keep it, Then bring your own bottle, y
said the traveller, with decision; you
needn't pretend to me that you keep that
face of yours in repair on water" The
landlord laughed hearth ly ,and brought out

JOKE ON GENERAL kELLEY.-The

the following A pretty good joke is
told on General Kelley, or rather, on the
officers of his staff When the General
was after the guerrillas some time ago,
down IN Writ and Calhoun counties, he
captured a very rebellious young woman
by the name of Sallie Dusky, daughter of
Daniel Dusky, who was sent to the peni-
tentiary from this city for robblng the
mail at Ripley, and sister of Captain
Andy and George Dusky. The General,
feeling confident that the girl knew the
hiding places of the guerrillas, had pri-
vate conversation with her, and during
the interview, having failed to get much
satisfaction, he told her if she would make
a clean breast of it he would give her the
chance for husband of all the young
officers in his staff. This failed to bring
the information, and Sallie was taken
away in charge of Captain Baggs. As
she moved away from the Generals pres
ence, she asked the Captain if the Gen
eral was really in earnest in making the
last proposition. Baggs assured her that
the General was sincere, and that he
would have lived up to his promise. The
girl assumed kind of thoughtful man
ner, and after q short time replied =
"Well, | believe I'd about US leave have
