through the principal street in high water in

drawn from the field as a candidate.
The Journal says it took him an hour

fear of defeat. We are not surprised at
his fears He is not the only nominee of
that Convention that is beginning to real

a deep political grave. Whittlesey did
not quit the old sinking hulk minute

SHARP Trick BY AN INDIAN BoY-The
Marquette, Lake Superior) Journal tells
the following story:
When the Planet arrived here the 9TH
er day on her downward trip the steward
sent a colored man ashore to buy fish.
AS he reached the dock he was met by
small Indian boy with string of brook
trout, and the following colloquy en-
sued:
Contraband-Hi, you red skin; want
to sell dem fish?
Boy-Ya; me want twenty cents pound
for EN-.
The colored man took the trout and
W. returning to the boat, when he dis
covered that a number of them had a
hard lump inside, and this gave him an
idea that something was wrong. So he
laid them down on the dock, and procee-
ded to squeeze them with his fingers
The lump proved to be large conical
rife ball, and each of the larger fish con-
tanned one. These had been put in by
the young Indian to make them weigh
we'll After all had been abstracted, the
lead was found to weigh pound and a
quarter, and the fish pound. The In
dian boy watched the extrication of the
bullets with profound grief, and exclaim-
ed as the last one was being taken out,

Our Army at COrinth---A Battle Elk.
Dected,


A letter received in this city this morn
ing, from an officer high in command at
Corinth, dated September 18th, states
that our forces at that place, and at Ri
emf and Jacinto, expected to be attacked
by Prices rebels, and that up to that
time West Tennessee had not been aban-
doned by our troops, and nothing indi-
ated such a movement
This contradicts the report, ,telegraphed
from Cairo, that that section of country
was being abandoned. m III
Price is supposed to have about 30,-
600 rebels under his command The
Federals have strong outposts at Jacinto,
seventeen miles south of Corinth, and at
Rienzi, about sixteen rniles southeast of
Corinth. Our troops in that vicinity
number at least 10000
Prices army was at Bonneville, twenty
miles south of Corinth, having come up
from Tupelo, rebuilding bridges and re-
pairing the railroad as they advanced
The attack upon our outposts, only few
miles north of Boonville, was daily ex-
pected, and a terrible battle would be
fought The officer remarks, however,
that possibly Price movement is merely
a feint to prevent us from sending rein
forcements to Buell. Chicago Journal

A MIRACULOUS EscAPE.--At the late
battle of New Ulm, Mrs. Caruthers, who
escaped from Beaver Creek, was at first
taken prisoner, but two Indians became
engaged in quarrel as to who should
have her for a squaw, and while the quar-
rel was progressing she made her es-
cape with her two children. She was
out one day and two nights, and finally
reached the Minnesota river, where she
found canoe and tried to paddle across,
but not understanding the mcdus ope-
randi, was oafted down the river some
six miles and landed near the fort in
safety, with one child in her arms and
another on her back, and is now at St
Peter
Mrs. Harrington was shot in the back
at Leavenworth. The same ball shot a
finger of her infant child Mrs. H. and
child were out in the brush nine days,
and su5sisted on hazel nuts She re-
mained secreted from the Indians all
this time, working her way towards white
settlements as best she could. Her child,
usually fretful, remained remarkably
quiet, and whenever she would hear In
dians, she would kneel down and pray to
God to keep the infant quiet and deliver
her from danger Her rescue was made
by one of our pickets, while crawling to
wards our line Our picket snapped two
cans at her before he discovered she was
n white woman. She first hailed the
picket in the Sioux language, and he
supposed her to be an Indian. Her es
cape was most miraculous throughout.
