GEN Z. +. SMITHS 0PERArIoNs-Th army
und.r Gen. g. +. Smith, (Paducah Smith. "a he
used to be called) which left Fort Henry several
days ago, Tor an expedition up the Tennessee
river, has dsembaFked at Savannah. ID m;les
north OF the State line Reports say that Gen,
Lew. Wallace's division had marched across 10
furdy, McNairy county, which is six miles west
OF Savannah, burning bridge and taking un
the track OF a railroad connecting Coriptb. Mis-.
sissipp, with jackson, Tennessee. The bridge
destroyed we take to be structure over the
Hatchie river. The railroad referred to ,onst
nave been lately put in running order by the
rebels, as 1t was still unfinished but short time
ago. The destruction of the bridge and track
seems to have been very timely, preventing a
train OF Confederate troops, which Gen. John.
ston YVES sending to the relief Of Island No. 10
from going up.
We suppose the next move of Gen. Smith will
be overland to Corinth, which is about twenty.
TWO miles IRON Savannah, on the Memphis and
charleston railroad. The distance from Corinth
TO Memphis, We observe is stated in some of the
newspapers to be sixty miles, but the time table
oil the road itself makes it ninety three. The
possession OF Corinth will cut the communica.
ton between Johnston's and Beauregard's forccs
and this will be all that Gen Smith will need to
do until the rebels fall back upon Forts Pillow
and Randolph. The Coniederates are already

The MAN WHO SAT UPON THE POWDER
During the engagement the gunboat Valley
City was fighting two Rebel boats at once,
working her guns ut both sides, when shell
entered her port bow, passed into her magazine,
knocked the head off half-barrel of powder.
and exploded in a locker which was filed with
blue-lights, rockets, and Coston signal-lights,
The fire works were ignited at the instant and
IN close box burnt with fury. filling the maya
zine with sulphurous fumes. The Quarter
gunner, instead of leaving his post as most
men would have done at such a terrible iunc
tnre, Immediately sat upon the open barrel, to
Keep the sparks from falling into the powder.
Captain j. q. Chaplin, Commander of the YES
sci, called all hands to fire quarters, but see
ing that this would take too many from the
guns said he would go into the magazine him
self and extinguish the fire. Without mo-
ments hesitation he jumped into the perilous
place and giving orders to keep up the fight: he
passed up powder with one hand buckets of
water down with the other, until the FIRE was
quenched On entering the magazine and see.
ing the gunner sitting so quietly on the pow
der barrel, he thought he was either sinking
his duty or bewildered by fear, and asked him
sternly what he was doing there. s.Ab Sir D
said the splendid fellow, .'ths ere shell have
stove of the head of the barrel and if rot mn
little spark might fall in and blow us all 10
smithareens in a minute" Courage like this
OF Capt. Chaplin and his Quarter gunner has
seldom been shown in any navy, and their con.
duct should be noted among the brightest inc;.
dents OF this war Il Elizabeth City Cores. N.

WHo- IS THE DIsLoYAL OFFICER One of the
EDITORS OF the Transcript, while in Chicago last
week, paid visit to the rebel prisoners at Camp
Dougias. During his stay in camp he overheard
subordinate Union officer deliberately state
to group of prisoners that this war was the
work OF Northern fanatics, and that they must
be CLEANED out" before peace could be restored.
The name of this scoundrel We do not know.
but he is worse enemy Of the Republic than
any rebel prisoner at Camp Douglas. What
stronger assurance otsssympathy could be given
than the declaration that Northern men drove
the South into rebellious Better send to JEFF
Davis for half a dozen rebel missionaries, and
turn them loose among the prisoners, with full
license to say just what they please. Their
words could not do more harm to our side than
the words of this traitor in Federal livery. They
would have less influence, for they would be
looked upon a. coming from men interested in
promoting rebellion. No wonder the reople Of
Chicago are astonished at the growing boidness
and impudence OF the prisoners Why should
not the rebels e1u!t in their treason when they
are openly justified in Il BY our own oalcen?-

cOnversed on the subject of the Union sentiment
in Arkansas, and they say the people, strange
as it may seem, would never have gone with
the Confederacy if they had been allowed to de.
termine the question for themselves
| Throughout the entire State men went as
emissaries Of Secession, and told the peope
they must 60 out of the Union, il they did not
want to be despoiled of their slaves, and ruled
over by the Yankees, who would compel them
to perform all mental Offices. Their property
their wives their homes, their very children
would be taken from them; they would exchange
| positions with their negroes and the latter be
made their masters.
These arguments even the Arkanssns could
| comprehend, and in a few weeks after the diffu.
| sion of such nefarious sentiments, the State was
thrown into a terrible excitement. A reaction
occurred. few thinking Union men enlight.
ened the half crazed community, and told them
| they were deceived; that Secession would ruin
them; that their only safety was ia the Union.
and that President Lincoln had no disposition
and no intention to interfere with any of their
constitutional rights.
The advice came too late. The rebels had by
that time gained the power. by seizing all the
arms, and thereafter they had full and absolute
sway. They pillaged and destroyed wherever
they went, and the people found their worst en-
ia
ed, for they knew their lives were in the hands
Of the oppressors, and since that period hardly
