portion unobstructed the grand highway Of the
ton free the days OF De Soto and Father Marquette

rebel guns defended the strongest best fortified po-
ston between Cairo and the Gulf Yesterday that fort
passed into possession and with coors flying and
drums beating steamed onward toward the mouth Of
the great This morning encountered the fleet

most rebslous city of the West aud violent in her
hostility to tho federal Union. She lies subject
again to the rule Of that government under which,
through long years shs has grown and prospcred That
the shc has to-day witnessed may prove lesson
for better guidance and successful in bringing hcr
more to respect tho power Of the best government in
the world is the first and earnest wish Of every
loyal heart
