learned that Mr.. w. Pebbles, Of Alb

it is in consequence of these fruits OF the

that have carried mourning into nearly

The passage of the Homestead bill will

Though we might have assented to the
principle and policy of homestead bill in
former years. when other sources Of reve-
nue. were anple for the wants of the gov
ernment, we should seriously question the
policy of it now, when the public credit
needs all the basis it can have to stand up

A dispatch from Evansville to the Gin
cinnati Gazette says that the car which
caused the collision at Sullivan in this
State. by which Prof. Fletcher was killed,
was placed on the track by man who has
been arrested and confessed the crime. i'm
plicating several accomplices. We learn
from other sources that the evidence is al
most conclusive that the collision was a
p.emeditated act. and that the parties con-
cerned in cansing it sre known. At first
we diseredited ihe rumor that the fatal
freight car had been placed on the track to
cause wholesale murder. and said so; but
we fear very much that the more horrible
and abominable phase of the story is the
more credible one. Ii murder was intend
ed by this devilish act. no one can fail to
see who was meant to be the victim. and
whence emanated the motive. Gov. Nor
ton was known oil along the route, as we
have learned since. to be on board that
train. II was known at Sullivan through
the passengers on the preceding train.--
Sullivan is and has been a nest Of the most
violent rebel sympathizers. Union men
have been lynched there. Union senti-
ments have been suppressed by violence.
and more than once it has been seriously
considered by the State authorities wheth-
er an armed force would not be necessary
to protect the loyal citizens. For weeks
after the attack on Fort Sumter. the trait
ors of Sullivan, taking their cue from the
Sentinel whicL denounced the war and re-
fused to hoist the Union flag. kept a Sc
cession flag flying from q. tall pole in full
sight of every passing train. II has been
notorious and disgusting hole of treason.
Gov. Morton has been one of the most ef-
ficient Of all the public officers Of the
country in preparing the people to meet
the rebel army and crush it.. He is the
most cordially hated man in the Union by
the whole herd Of Bright adherents. Sui.
livan is the very place of all others where
this internal malice would be most likely
to take deadly form. and try to carry its
aim BY murder. The intent of that COLI
sion was to kill Gov. Morton. It was
treason going hand in hand with murder
The blow missed its aim, but il fell where
it cost the State one Of its most able and
energetic officers. and the cause Of the Uni
on one Of its most patriotic and persistent
supporters. This fearful crime viii yet
return to plague the traitors who have en-
couraeed the sPisit that attempted it,.

AT III o'clock this morning we up an
chor for New Orleans. leaving the Kineo
and Wissahicl<on to guard she Quarantine
and keep possession Of the canals which
led out seaward. Capt. Boggs. of the
Varuna, went down to let Gen. Butler
know of our success. AS we left DURAN
chors ge we found for some miles the hogees
on each side decorated with white flags,
and in several instances tattered and torn
American ensigns waved over fishing lug
gers and houses. We were greeted by the
waving Of handkerchiefs, and the people
seemed glad to see us. In some instan-
ces rabid secesher acted with utter con-
tempt at our presence. Everywhere along
the river we saw people on horseback, ri
ding to and fro in great haste. telling tia
news Of our advance. The telegraph wire
was cut every few miles, but the people OF
New Orleans were warned early of oui
success at the fort. and were preparing for
us. As we advanced up the river, the plan.
tations spread themselves out in great
beauty; the negroes left their labor and
came to the levee. and seemed in ecstacies
at our advancing movements. In some
places theii demonstrations were truly lu-
dicrous: they tossed their hats in the air.
bowed. courtesied and showed by every
possible means their joy.
At 3 o'clock we were off Point La
Hache. 1t had been reported to us that
the river banks were lined with batteries.
but we found no trace of anything in the
battery line. At plantation named
Magnolia" we saw at least thirty teams
ploughing, and over two hundred negroes
came to the levee to greet Us, They were
in high glee.
During the afternoon we saw dense vol
umes of smoke in the direction of the city
of New Orleans. and we judged from ap
rearances that something was on fire. The
flames continued all the evening. AT TO-
clock we came to anchor about eighteer
miles below the city of New Orleans.

The significant movements Of our feet

removed entirely the necessity for conceal
ing the fact that it was designed that the
steamer Vanderbilt should run down the

disposed OF in any other way. The fol-
lowing calculation will show with what
force the former would strike the Merri-
mac II moving at her average ePsed: as'ie
The dead weight of the Vanderbilt 10. in
round numbers, A, 900 tons. and her aver
age speed is at least fifteen miles an hour.
That is, equal to 10000 tons moving st
the rate Of one mile an hour. which in
turn, is equivalent to 800 tons moving st
the rate OF 200 miles an hour. a5i.ssss
The velocity of cannon ball may be

Burnside and Flag Officer Goldsborough, and to
Brig Gen. Grant and Flag Officer Foote, and the
land ard naval forces under their respective com
mands for their gallant achievements in the cap
ture of Fort Henry and a. Roanoke Island.
While IL will be no ordinary pleasure for him
to acknowledge and reward, in becoming man.
ner, the vaIor Of the living, he also recognizes
his duty to pay fitting honor to the memory of
the gallant dead.
The charge at Roanoke Island, like the bayonet
charge at Mill Spring, proves that the close CRAP
pie and sharp steel Of loyal aud patriotic soldiers
must always put rebels and traitors to flight
The late achievements Of the navy show that the
flag of the Union once borne in proud glory
around the world by naval heroes will soon again
foat over every rebel city and stronghold, and
that ii shall forever be honored and respected as
the emblem Of Liberty and Union, In every land
and upon every sea.
