GREAT ACHIEVEMENT BY THE ENGI-
NEERS.

The following extracts from a private letter,
Regiment to friend in Rochester, give des-
cripton of the obstacles surmounted in order
to furnish the necessary means of transporta-
ton to Gen. Pope's forces. The achievement
exploit OF the war thus far The writer says:
"After the surrender of the forts at New
Madrid, we (CIl. Bsselrs Engineer Regiment)
were engaged for four days unspiking guns,
changing batteries, establishing new works,
and other engineering matters Then we were
sent over by Gen. Pope to ascertain whether it
was not practicable to establish batteries op-
posite Island No. 10, so as to emf 'ade their
works on the Kentucky shore. We Wespent three
days in the swamps in canoes, with darkies as
guides, hut found the project impracticable.
Col. Bissell, however, stated that he could, by
hard labor, get steamboats, and iiatboats through
the woods and bayous, and by that means land
our forces nearly opposite New Madrid. and
take all the enemy's works in the rear. Gen.
Pope at once gave him a carte blanche, and he
sent to Cairo for four steamboats,, six flats, and
such guns as could be spared. They sent the
steamers W. B Iery John Trio, Gilmore and
Emma, with the barges, quantity of lumber,
&C., and one ei9ht.mch columbiad and three
32-pounders. Tools we did not need, for the
regiment carries everything from the heaviest
ropes and screws down to fine steel drills for
unspiking guns. Our route is about twelve
miles long, of which two miles were throug h
timber, and the remaining ten through narrow,
crooked bayous grown up full Of brush and
small trees. We have cut our way right
through, the track being fifty feet wide, in which
thirty are requiI ed for the hulls of the boats.
The timber is cut four feet below the surface
of the water. In one short stretch we cut
seventy-fve trees thus deep, not one less than
two feet through. The machines were rugged
from RATS and our lowest flats, and worked each
by about twenty men. In the first place, three
large launches went ahead to cut out and push
out of the track the underhrush and driftwood
then three RATS followed, "n which were the
men who cut down and cut off the trees then
the saws, then two large barges. then one of
the steamboats,. Very large lines were provi.
ded to run from the Capstan of the steamboats,,
and haul out by snatch blocks what the men
could not handle. Then followed the rest OF
the fleet, men being engaged all the time con-
yerting the ilatboats into floating batteries.
From the river to the levee the distance is about
900 feet; here the water was shallow and the
route full of stumps 1t took one whole day TO

The MATERIAL OF OUR ARMY.-The fol-
lowing from the New York Albion of last week
is somewhat different from the description Civ
en- of our soldiers by RUSSELL Of the London
Times, and other defamers of our country and
the soldiers who are fighting for its preserva-
ton:
mot e few British officers from regiments
stationed in Canada, or employed there on spe-
cial service, have been recently permitted to ex-
anime with p ofessiona eye their bone and sin
ew, their equipment their discipline, their ma
ncuvres. 1t comes within our personal knowl-
edge that several of these our soldier country
men, whose opinions are of the greatest value,
report their unJounded surprise and admiration
at the e6ectiCe and promising condition of the
thousands Of tr0ops tchom they hare seen. Oh
the fighting qualities they may have something
to say hereafter, tor-thankS to the unexpected
and exceeding courtesy of Gen. Mcclellan
some of these gentlemen have been allowed to
accompany the headquarters Of the United
States army in its expected onward march
This obligation, we need scarcely say, is far
more appreciated by military men than any re-
views or entertainments got up for their benefit,
while those who could not remain to avail
themselves of this privilege are nevertheless
most grateful for the hospitality with which
they have been received"

PRENTICEIANA.-A friend has handed us a
ecent copy of the Louisville journal from
which we cut the following:
The Charleston Mercury says that Yankee
ride will have fall before the close of the
ear. No doubt the year itself will have Fall
,efore that time.
1t used to be the boast of Stephen A. Doug
as that he could make anything in the way of
abinet ware. We do not believe that Floyd,
Wise or Pillow, though apprenticed to cab
net maker for seven years, could make a stand
Jeff Davis has issued a new proclamation
calling upon Virginia TO maintain her integrity
He was never able to maintain his own.
All what would not the Confederate authori-
ties give, in these days OF rebel fugacity for one
standing army.
The Southern Confederacy can't be "put to
her trumps," for she has played them all out.
1t is stated in a Missouri paper that Gen.
Price lmSnot only chronic dysentery but dia
betes. We hope we have in our armies no Cen
erals of his kidney.
One account says that Gen. Bragg is at PEN
sacoa, another that he is at Norfolk, another
that he is at Island No. 10. No doubt Rebel
Bragg may be fouRl wherever there are Reb-
els.
The rebel organs say that they lost only T.
900 prisoners at the taking of Fort Donelson.
Then they didn't lose half as many as we II ok.
There's no use in one trying to excuse the
conduct of Buckner, We wouldn't swear even,
at him, but then he is lock and dam rascal.
If the rebel recommendation that the South
ern cities be burned rather than permitted to
fall into the hands of our troops be adopted
the torch will in every case be applied by lel-
lows who have not house, shed, or even a
pig-sty or hencoop to burn.
The chronic disease of the Southern Confede.
racy is getting worse and worse. Its last eyac-
uation, the one at New Madrid, was bloody
one,

PERIsHED IN THE SNow.-Mrs. Lucy Ann
Hasty, daughter of Mr.. Lyman Darling, per-
i>hed in the recent severe snow storm at Island
Falls, Aroostook county Me. In returning
from visit to her sister on the 10th ult.,
after the storm had commenced, she took
short cut through the woods, got bewildrred,
lost her way, and perished. She had arrived
within half mile of her home when she lost
her way. She was not missed until the 18th,
four days aherward, when her brother found
her carpet-hag in his ehingle camp in a cedar
swamp. The neighbors Immediately turned
out in search, and finally found her deal, and
in standing position. The unfortunate lady
had divested herself of great part of her cloth
ing as it impedeA her progress through the
snow. Mrs. Hasty was of an smiable dis
position, and much esteemed by her friends.
Her age was % years.

VALUE OF SLAVES IN MARYLANp.--At
sale of servants, slaves for lite, belonging to
the estate of Miss Clarissa III. Luckett, deceased,
ON the 9th ult., an illustration was afforded of
the depressing influence of the rebellion on the
value OF slave property in this State. likely,

years, her two children, a boy of four and
girl of two years. both well conditioned, were
sold in a lot for 5000; also a likely hoy, aged
ten years, for Sl05; and very likely mulatto
girl, aged fifteen, was offered and withdrawn at
S9j. Less than two years ago servants of this
description would readily have commanded
S2j00-now they fetch S400 The reader will
remember that the Examiner adnonished the
sympathizers with the rebellion in advance that
this would be the consequence of the crime and
folly of secession, but they would not heed.

the fate of the institution in Maryland.-Fred-
eiick Examiner.

Island No. TO- April S, 1862.
Hon. Gideon Welles-I have to inform the
department, that since sent the telegram last
night, announcing the surrender to me of Island
No. Ten, possession has been taken of both
the Is and and the works upon the Tennessee
shore, by gunboats and troops under General
Buford. Seventeen officers and 36S privates,
besides hundreds of sick and wounded men
employed aboard the transports, are in our
hands, unconditional prisoners of war. have

piled with powder, and there are large quanti-
ties of shot and shells and other munitions of
war, also great quantities of provisions. -Four
steamers afoat have fallen into our hands,
Two others, with the rebel gunboat Grampus,
are sunk, but can he easily raised. The hoat-
ing battery of l6 heavy guns was turned adrift
bv the rebels and is said to be lying on the
Missouri shore below New Madrid. The enc
nv upon the main land appear to have fled with
great precipitation, after dark last night, eav-
ing in many cases half prepared meals in their
quarters. There seems to have been no con-
cert of action between the rebels upon the island
and those occupying the shore, but the latter
fed leaving the former to their flte.
These works were erected with The highest
engineering skill are of great strength, and
with their natural advantages, would have been
impregnable if defended by men fighting for q
better cause.
A combined attack of naval and land forces
would have taken place this afternoon or to-
morrow morning, had not the rebels so hastily
abandoned their strongholds, to mature the
plans of attack having absolutely required %
days preparation. Gen. Pope is momentarilv
expected to arrive with his army at this point,
he having successfully crossed the river yester-
day, under heavy fire, which no doubt led to
the hasty abandonment of the works last night.

two straight and long miles to the nearest po mt
in the bayou. Then il took eight days to get
through. Then Wilson's Bayou, then East
into the Mississippi at Npw-Midrid. If you
nave never seen a Southern swamp, you have
no idea how thick it is; New York elm swamp
does not begin. 1t sometimes took twenty men
a wEoIe day TO get out half sunken tree
across the bayou. Such place as that kept us
all back, and none Of the RATS or flats could
get by, and all had to wait. The water after
we got into the woods was about six feet deed,
with gentle current setting across the penn-
sua. In the Ejst Bayou the current was tre-
mendouS. and the boats had to be checked down
with heavy headlines. Here we found some
distractions caused BY drift heaps, but cutting
off one or two logs would start all down the
current.
This is the hardest job have ever seen un-
dertaken, but COL Bissel is so far down now as
to cal it successful, for we are in sight of the
fences on the 'olher side of Jordan"
An engraving of the saw used in cutting off
the stumps is then given, and the writer adds
by Sny of DIES ription:
"At each end of the saw rope 80 feet in
length is fastened and carried to boats upon
which men ar stationed. Ten men man and
work each rope.
When the saw runs right we have cut off
stump two feet in diameter in fourteen minutes.
Often it pinched and run crooked; then gang
would be two or three hours on one of the same
size. II there happened to be any brush un-
der the water it added much to the labor; it
all had to be fshed up and got out OF the way"
