A VERY MEAN AcT.-During our alb
sence, and during the Jayhawk excite
ment in this city, some ~unprincipled vii
lain shot and killed our old Newfoundland
dog. Nothing but unparalleled meanness
could have prompted the act. The old
fellow was kind, sociable, of good habits,
and kindly esteemed by all whose good
fortune it was to make his acquaintance"
DUKE was a family pet for ten years past
had watchfully guarded the cradle in
which lay sleeping our little ones had
sported with them on the grassy lawn and
over the hills had escorted them to and
from school, and grief stricken lay by
their sick bedside, refusing nourishment
or consolation while death seemed to
Ginger a. the door" Byran's inscrip-
ton on the monument of his dog Boar
SWAIN would not be inappropriate to our
f%avorite dog DUKE:
lone who possessed beauty without
vanity, strength without insolence, cour-
age without ferocity, and ali the virtues
of man without his vices. This praise,
which would be unmeaning lattery, if
inscribed over human ashes, is but a just
tribute to a dog"
s"When some proud son Of man returned to earth,
Unknown to glory but upheld by birth,
The %sculptor's art exhausts the pOmp OF wO,
And stOried urns record who rest below;
When all is done, upon the tomb Is seen,
Not what he was, but what he shold have been;
But the poor dog, in life the hrmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
WhesO honest heart is still his masters own,
Who labOrs, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
UnhOnored falls, unnOticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth;
While man, vain insect hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven"

THE 47TH INDIANA REGIMENT, commanded
by Col. Jas. r. Slack, whose open-hearted and
genial manner every one admires, continues to
win golden opinions through the city. We
hear it complImented on every hand. Its of
fcers and soldiers have been so respectful and
gentlemanly in all their bearings towards the
citizens as to extort eulogies not only from all
who love the Union, but even from many of
those who cherish the most extreme dislike to
all Lincolnites and Northerners. Their devo-
ton to the Stars and stripes intensifes their re-
gard for personal and private rights, and every
one animated with patriotism may at all times
look to them for protection. This could be said
of them when they were at Bardstown, KY,
when they were at Commerce, and Benton,
and New Madrid, No. when they planted the
national banner and the laundering cannon on
Fort Thompson at Riddles Point at Upton
vile, and now in Memphis. Long may they
deserve the good name they have won.

Yesterday at Z O'Clock the Thermometer
was lol degrees in the shade-nroderatety
warm for this region. About P. NJ there
was refreshing fall of rain, the cooling effects
eff which was truly invigorating.
The river is slowly declining. River mat
tiers are not very buoyant, however, the few
boats now plying between this and up country
ports are doing some busiuess-at least, pay
ing expenses, if no more. The Mississippi is
still falling at st. Louis, yet rise is expected
at that point-the result of the heavy rains
there on the 18th.
The Missouri still continues in go0d boating
order.
The Illinois is falling, with feet in the
channel.
The Tennessee is very low, so is the Cum
berland-in fact, the two latter streams are
,,grewing beautifully less evsry day.
For CAIRO AND ST., LoUIs.-The Belle
Memphis, Capt. Sousley, will depart for the
above points on Monday, 2lst inst, st P.
NJ. The Memphis is well known in these
waters, and the mere announcement of this
fact is sufficient to guarantee splendid trip

GEN. HOyEY To JEFF. THOMFsoN.
In our issue Of yesterday, we published from
our Grenada namesake of the 10th inst, an
insulting braggadooio letter from JeH.
Thompson to the United States authorities
here. Annexed is General Hoveys dignifed
and truthful reply.
D;d the General bat know what JEFF. is, or
.vhst Left di3 here in the brothels, GROCERIES
nd .Asatres of Memphis, did he but know
mis- folly and most egregrious vanity, we
think even Gen. Hoveys urbanity and politeness
would scarce haye condesended to notice a letter
which may be considered in itself, perhaps,
as fair key 10 the character and manners OF
JEFF sober, as his addresses in Memphis were
of JEFF drunk.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, July l6, 1852.
Brig. Gen Jeff. Thompson, c. S. A., SiadtobiG
II have yours of the l4th inst, in relation
to Special Order No. IA, heretofore issued by
Maior General Grant. 1 hereby send you
Special Order No. Is, which considerably
lnodifes the order to which you allude. You
will permit me to say, that your sympathies
are entirely out of place, as truth and history
must record the fact, that the Southern people
residing in localities where both Of our armies
have beea camped, prefer the contiguity of
the ~Northern invaders" to the protection of
the Gouthern Chivalry. You are too well
| versed in the science of war to be ignorant OF
the fact that these orders are far more mild
than could have been expected, after the treat
ment helpless Union families have received at
the hands of rebels in this city.
"Ad1 to this, the fact, that large part of
all the information received by you, can be
traced directly through the families excluded
by those orders, and your application for SYM
patty in their behalf is somewhat amusing
The great error that Federal officers have
committed during this war, has been their
over kindness to vindictive and insulting
foe. Your threats and intimations ofpersona
danger to Gen. Grant are in bad taste, and
should have been carefully revised before pub
lication Whether he "can guard his Owl
lines" the history of the battles of Shiloh and
Donelson has fully shown. Should any
families embraced within the orders abov'
alluded to be obstinate and refuse to comply
with Order Is, they shall be escorted to tht
distance of ten miles from this city to sucf
points as they may request.
Yours Respectfully,
ALVIN p. HovEY,
..-.-- Brig. Gen. Commanding.

A PLEASANT TURN-oUT.-Just after the
dAshing rain yesterday afternoon, Capt. Dem
son of the I'd Tennessee Regiment, with drum
and fife and waving banner, brought out his
Memphis Guards, and after marching down
Main street. halted in front of the UNION
APPEAL Office and his men gave three hearty
cheers for the success of a Union paper in
Memphis. The editor responded to the COM
pliment in few appropriate remarks, and the
column of brave hearts and strong arms moved
forward The daughter of Capt. benson ele-
gantly dressed bore the National banner as
she stepped gracefully to the music of the
Union. The Captain is doing good work,
doing it rapidly and doing it well. His COM
pany will soon be full. Capt Hough, and
his stout and stalwart band of loyal Tennes'
seeans joined in the procession.
