The foot Of the oppressor is on the soil Of
Georgia. lie comes with lust in his eye,
poverty in his purse and hell in his heart.
He comes robber and murderer How
shall you meet him? With the sword, at

yourself! But more than this-let erery po-
man haze a torch, erery child a .Jfrebrand-
let the loued homes Of orr youth Be made ashes,
and the fields Of our heritage Be made desolate.
Let blackness and ruin mark your departing
steps, If depart you must, and lee a desert
more terrible than Sahara well one the Van

your faithful slaves share your fortune and
crust. Trust wife and children to the sure
protection of God-prefcrring even for these
loved ones the charncl house as home than
loathsomc yassalagc to nation already sunk
below the contempt of the civilized world
This may be your terrible choice, and deter

Exploits Of 4 Rebel Shell.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune
tells how the gunboat St. Louis was rendered
hors de combat at the Donclson fight: ~
II have Just held a conversation with the
injured pilot of the gunboat st. Louis, and in
the identical pilot.house into which came the
cr1e! crashing shell that killed the other pi.
lot, ana struck down the Commodore, broke
the wheelhouse and so disabled the flag boat
as to leave 1t floating wreck, at the will oil
the stream, and turn the fortunes of the feet.
A person Of ever so impossible an magma
ton must be heart sick as he stands where l
did, and views the scene which is brought to
mis- view. The hole is still there which the
death dealing shell made as directed by the
aartillerist of Fort Donelson. 1t struck the
pilot house at an angle of nearly forty-fiv
degrees, and cut down the flagstaff This
will give the reader some idea Of the forts
elevation, and the consequent disadvantage
under which the gunboats labored. It was
he first ball that entered the pilot house
which killed the pilot and bruised and woun-
ded the Commodore. It penetrated the wood,
thirteen inches in thickness, and the iron, an
inch and quarter thick, and while in this
position, burst, scattering in every direction,
and filling the pilot house with broken frag-
ments of iron and missiles of destruction
The second ball struck the outer easement OF
the window Of the pilot house, and glancing
inward, passed over the Commodore's head,
through the rear, and in its passage struck a
suspended life-boat and threw it between the
smoke stacks across the tiller ropes, thus rem
dering the st. Louis unmanagcable by the re-
lieving tackle, which the pilot relied upon to
steer the boat when ball No. disabled the
wheel The second ball would have instant
" killed the Commodore, had it not, in its
passage, come in contact with heavy over
coat hanging in front Of tho window, and
carried it along with it, thus breaking the
force Of its passage, and covering its ragged,
Jagged nakedness. The Commodore was but
slightly injured. He is now walking with a
crutch, but will be all right in a day or two.
When the boat became unmanageable and
Was compelled to order retreat, he wept like
q child, and the faces of his valiant tars were
bedimed with falling tears. This boat re.
ceived sixty three shells, and every one Of
them did some execution with boats and men,
Four of the eighteen pilots Of the fleet were
killed. These facts bear indisputabe testi.
inony to the accurate aim and skill Of the
rebel artillerists.

Railroad Land Grant.

The Dubuque and Sioux City, and the c.
dar Rapids & Missouri Railroad Companies,
having been unable to build their several
roads as far rs stipulated in the land grants,
are applicants before the General Assembly
for remedial legislation. The Des Moines
River Navigation Company, claimant for GER
tain lands along the Des Moines River above
the Raccoon Fork, claimed by the aforesaid
Companies, step in and asks that before any
enabling act shall be passed, that those Com
panies shall release to the State their alleged
right to the Des Moines River lands.
The Railroads and Des Moines River Land
Grant Committees of the two Houses met in
joint committee yesterday afternoon. Judge
Woodward vas called to the chair, and Mr..
Fairall, of Johnson, appointed Secretary
D. o. Finch, Esq, appeared in behalf of the
Des MONIES River Improvement Company
and those holding under it, and delivered a
very close, logical and conclusive argument
founded upon legal right, equity and public
policy involved in the question nsoOtcd. Col.
j. w. Rankin appeared for the Keokuk, Fl.
Des Moincs & Minnesota Railroad Company
and ably represented their interest He
showed the inapplicability of the decision in
the made up case between Litchfield and the
D. 4 P. r. r. Company. Colonel Croker,
President of the Cedar Rapids & Missouri
River Railroad Company, represented that
Company. His argument displayed the Pc
culiar energy, ingenuity and resources Of the
accomplished business man. Mr. Hull, of
Boone county, presented the claims Of him
self and other citizens Of Boone holding IT,
ties from the State, in forcible manner.
The Committee adjourned, after listening
for most of afternoon to the remarks of the
gentlemen above named, to meet again at 2

The Springfield Republican closes its &C
count of Mrs. Lincoln's party as follows:
That same night the hunted Unionist in
our bloody border land stole in secret from
his den, and aided by the glimmering MOON
light, looked once more upon the ashes of
what was once his happy home. That same
night, wounded soldiers died in the hospitals
for want of care and comfort, and our noblest
sons and brothers pinned in the loathsome
horrors of Southern prison, and sighed
hoPelessly for relief; while on our Western
( frontiers, the houseless mother clasped her
starving babe, and the prairie wolf gnawed
rayenously the bones Of the loyal dead. And
-sAisi. with bands playing and streamers fly
ing on the very verge Of the abyss. the good
ship Of State held her proud and peTilous
way.

Price again cleaned out by Gen. Curtis.

ST. Louis, Feb. 25.-Dispatches received
at the headquarters of the Department Of the
West, this morning, announce that the army
under General Curtis had again routed Gen.
Price, together with the forces sent to his as
sistance by the Confederates under command
of Ben. McCulloch at Cross Hollows in Ark.
This was the place at which Price was ex-
pected to make his last determined stand. 1t
is forty miles from the Missouri boundary
line, and point at which desperate resist
ance might well be made.
Gen. Curtis forced Price to leave behind
him all his military stores, and also his sick
and wounded. Previous to his abandonment
Of the ground, he ordered all his camp equip
age to be burned, and it was done.
General Curtis. in his dispatch to General
Halleck, says: Most Of our provisions for
the last ten days have been taken from the
enemy. Price burned the extensive barracks
at Cross Hollow. to prevent our troops from
Occupying them"

"Paducah" Smith, as he was tauntingly
called BY the Chicago Tri3une ana other pa
pers who fancied be had not the vim, or else
was tainted with a love oflhe peculiar in
stitution which impaired his efficiency as a
commander, completely indicated himself at
Fit. Donelson. In an article descriptive of the
battle, the writer says, in speaking of the
assault headed by Gen. Smith: y ~ Il.
Gen. Smith is, emphatically fighting man,
and as may be imagined, the events Of the
ure his pugnacity. When he received his
long desired orders for an assault Of the ene-
my's works, his eyes glistened with FIRE
which could it have been seen by his malis-
ners, would have left them in no doubt as to
his private feelings in regard to the present
contest. ~ trfggt {g.ssFo, +, sssi.. ,Es.,e,...,
The hills at this point are among the most
precipitous Of those upon which the enemy
were posted. Selecting the Second and Sew
enth Iowa, and the Fifty second Indiana for
the storming party, Gen. Smith DETECTED the
main portion Of his division to the right, and
having succeeded in engaging the attention
of the enemy at this point, himself headed
the storming party and advanced upon the
works from his extreme left. 1t was most
magnificent sight. Unappalled by the psrfec
storm of bullets which rained about him, the
General on horseback, and with his hat on
the point Of his sword, preceded his troops,
and inspired them with furore there was no
withstanding. aJa ba ass a3 Git te.hffa
Steadily, with unbroken line, the gallant
Hawkeyes and Indianians advanced. The
enemy's grape and canister came blowing
through their ranks, but not shot was fired
in return. Closing up the ranks as one after
another Of the brave fellows dropped to the
earth, and animated by the fearless example
Of their undaunted leader, they pressed stead.
lily on. The works gained, one tremendous
volley was poured into the astonished enemy,
and, with fixed bayonets, q charge was made
IN their ranks which there was no withstand

and at last we had penetrated the rebel Sc
bastapol, and the misfortunes of the morning
were retrieved. e5- a3 ".li ns bg.IQgE 20
