Island No. Ten, Saturday March IS
The flotilla got under way at $3.50 this
morning. The weather is thick, with oc-|
caslonai showers, and unfavorable for op-
erations at long range The feet dropped
down slowly until about clock. When
the flagship was about six miles above
Island No. 10, a stern .Wbsel steamer ran
out from Shellers-of-a- Point, on the Ken
lucky shore, and made double quick down
the river. The Benton's bow guns were
cast loose, and four shells thrown 1t the
rebels, but the distance was too great, end
the only effect Of the shots was to accel-
crate It's speed, and set its whistle ut work
signalling the forces below. At 8 D. m.
the feet rounded to about three miles
above Island No. 10, and the Commodore
ordered three of the mortar-boats into DO
sltlon. At this hour. p. m, we are
well within range, but as yet have heard
nothing from the enemy. There appears
to be large force on the Kentucky shore,
and we count several guns in position on
the bluff. A large number Of transports
can be seen across the low point on the
Missouri shore, busiy engaged around
the Island. What they are doing we
cannot determine. The Pollard goes now.
Mortars will open soon. We discern the
much talked of floating battery at the

TUESDAY, MARCH lB.


Battle helds are grand places-yery con
spicuous, and the eyes Of the world are
upon them. And men fight, and storm
entertainments, and take batteries, and
rush on bayonets, in whirlwind of excite
ment, under the conscious gaze of mil.
lions. The tidings of the heroic conquer
ors Of Forts Donel.on and Henry, and of
the brave comrades of Burnsides and Sher-
man and Dupont and Curtis, swells the
heart of every true American, and thrills
through the world. And the peaceful
citizen 1t his Preside catches FIRE, and
wishes he were in poaition to &C: out
that soul of man, that now kindles with
in him. But, man, be hero where you
are. There are nearer battle-6elds than
those Of Kentucky and Arkansas. The
arena Of your own private life and bust
ness, especially n times like these, il
good fighting ground. And right there
you may combat with difficulties and dis
asten thai press you, with the oppositions
Of interest and enmity, with the actuali-
ties Of your own life. Right there is room
enough to show att the courage of hero,
all the pluck that is in you. You may
tight and charge. and storm, and master
obstacles, and win victories, all single
handed and alone; showing more Of the
true soldier than many man who fights
or falls on ields Of blood. On every
mans own 'acre" there is room enough
for oil of the hero that he can summon
up. And such heroism will not be in
vain to his country, himself and his kin.
We want heroes on battle-6elds, indeed,
but We want heroes at home.
