Millinery.

Millinery.
EE- If lady can walk past Mrs
DuRHAM's millinery establishment, and
view the beautiful Flowers and Ribbons,
and all those delicate and tasteful mater
ials that enter into the composition of a
lady's head gear, which she has in such
profuse display, and not feel an irepress
IDLE desire to purchase one of her
handsome, style Bonnets, she must
possess, in wonderful degree, the vir.
tue of self.denial. If our modest bache
lorhood had not left US at loss fol-
terms, we should endeavor to give our
lady readers resume of the attractions
which Mrs. DURHAM's establishment
presents, but as it is we can but invite
them to go and see-feast their eyes,
and-well, "papa's" or "my dear's''
pockets will tell the rest.

Another Soldier Gone.

EE We were shocked and panied 10
hear. on Thursday last. that john II.
GTSrHER, who left here but a couple oil
weeks since, with number of other re-
cruits for the 9th Regiment, had died a
day or two before. at camp Mcclellan,
Davenport. Mr.. GINrHER was 81 wears
OF age. and had always been remarkably
healthy and robu.t. He, however. con.
tracted Typhoid Fever but few DAYS
after his arrival at the camp. which seems
to have run rapid and fatal course. The
same mail which brought to us the first
announcement Of his serious illness, from
Mr. WHITE. brought to his family the
sad news Of his death. Like thousands
OF young, vigorous, promising lives, his
has been offered thus un,imelv 10 the
Moloch of Slavery. His BODY will prob
ably arrive here 10 day

Exs- The following notice of recent
festive occasion at Fairbank, has been
sent US, and for qualification Of our read
ers there we insert it i:
Concert by the White Family, assisted
by the Fairbank School.
Notwith standing the wretched condition OF
ads, We were allowed the privilege of attend.
ing concert in Fairbank, held at the Protest
ant Church on Thursday evening, April 10th,
1862, at which time and place, were presented
to us the following appearances, wiz -"
The stage presented beautiful aspect, dec
GRATED by the smiling faces OF the fair and mu.
steal members of Mr.. X. N. Whites intelligen,
class. above which hung in beautiful aud ma
iestic folds, the Stars and Stripes of our troub.
led but blessed Union, Mr.. r. n. White pre-.
sided at the Melodion.
We could not help sympathizing with the
latter when looking around and seeing so many
seats vacant, which can only be attributed to
our roads being almost impossible and we
are sure it could not have been ANYTHING else,
for with regard to the merits of the class, in
doing justice to Mr. White needs no comment.
and cannot fail giving satisfaction TO all who
had the pleasure of hearing them, particularly
In correctness of accent and the beautiful artic-
ulation of every word, so commendable to all
performers Of singing.
With regard TO the glorious and pair. otto
pieces selected and performed by the White
Family, we feel proud to acknowledge their
superiority in irmness of tone. and the spirit.
ed, feeling manner in which the expressions
brought forth in some of their most prominent
pieces, viz: The Star Spangled Banner. Death
OF Ellsworth, the Sisters Love. and others, We're
executed. In conclusion the interesting scene
of Juvenile performers appearance upon the
stage. although lit Q embarrassed, still give
merit To Mr.. White. and shows his patience
and perseverance in his profession.
We are in high hopes of Mr.. White establish
ing himself in this and other parts of our coun.
ty, and in bidding him adieu we feel proud in
recommending him to all who appreciate this
much desirable art, believing him to be q gen.
tleman of moral wortl, and worthy of your pat
ropage We hope soon to meet him again in
our town IN the same pleasant aud much to be
desired capacity. Yours, Anon.

Soldiers Aid Society.


EE- The late battle at Pittsburg drew
immensely upon the resources of all the
Sanitary Commissions in the West, and
the utility. nay, the absolute necessity of
those stores created by the labor Of the
noble hearted women Of the country, was
fully demonstrated. Without them it is
terrible TO think of the suffering that
must have ensued to the brave fellows
who came out Of that contest alive but
bleeding. The importance of these la
bors cannot be over-est estimated, and in
view of the immediate probability Of 9TH
er dreadful contests, it becomes impera-
tive that the ladies do their utmost to
increase the supplies of hospital goods.
With this view the ladies of our own Aid
Society propose reorganization and a
renewal of labors, and meeting for that
purpose will be held on Friday after
noon next, at 3 clock, at MoRsE's Hall.
They need some means to start with,
and it is to be hoped that the gen
tlemen will see that it is forthcoming. -
All male and female. should devote what
time and means are proper in this service.
1t is to be hoped that the Societies in 9TH
er sections Of our county will also contin-
lie the prosecution of their useful efforts.

Saturday. brings the following:
The reported escape of the Rebel gunboat Arkan.
sss il correct The affair took place on the morning
of July 10. That morning. in consequence of re.
ports brought by refugees that the Arkanfas was
about to run the Ulon fleet, the gunboats Caron-
delet and Tyler, and ram Lancaster started up the
Yazoo 10 reconnoiter. When eight miles from the
mouth, they came suddenly upon the Arkansas lying
under the bank.
As our boats rounded the bend, she opened upon
them with 6S-pounders. Oar gunboats returned lhe
ire and for ehort time a fierce engagement onsued
Finding that the channel OF the river prevented sue
eessful maneuveTing, they gradually dropped down
ward toward the mouth. The Arkansas followed
closely. Just as the latter WAS passing over the
bar the Carondelet closed with her. intending 10
board She succeeded in throwing graIple aboard
and getting ont plank, when the Arkansas opened
her steam-pipe throwing hot water across tue plank
The Carondelet replied in the same manner While
thus engaged both vessels grounded, and the shock
separated them
The Arkansas succeeded in getting of, and the
Carondelet remained fast for nearly an hour. The
Arkansas Immediately parsed down the river, the
Tyler preceding her, and maintaining q running night
with her greatly superior adversary. None OF our
yunboats with the fleet had steam up, and the entire
feet was 80 scattered that few could lire at the Ar
kansas as she passed without danger of hitting our
own boats. as she approached, such boats as could
safely do opened upon her. plating resisted
most Of the shots. \ solid shot from Fsrrsguts gun

and under her plating, npping 1t of for consider-
able distance. What further damage was done Is
not aseerained. The injuries to our fleet are light
The Benton received shot near the edge OF the
xfter-part OF the larboard side killing one The
Tyler, which engaged the Arkansas nearly TN hour
ard half, had seven killed and nine wounded
Among the latter the pilots, Messrs. Sebastian
and IIiner, and Engineer Davis.
The ram Lancaster received shot under her
boilers causing escape of hot water, scalding six
men, three OF them fatally.
