A Baby Found on the Battle Field
of the Hatchie.

The following is an extract of pri-
vate letter from soldier in the 18th H.
linois. 1t is dated Bolivar, Nov. 10:
Let me relate to you touching little
incident, that will doubtless strike you
as little strange. At the battle of the
Hatchie, when the conflict was waging
fiercest, upon advancing, midway be-
tween the contending forces, we found a
sweet little blue-eyed baby, little thing,
as saw it there, hugging the cold earth,
its only bed, the tear on its cheek,

The gunboat Cairo was destroyed
by torpcdoe in the Yazoo river on
the 18th inst. The Cairo, Signal and
Marmora were abreast the Pittsburg
and Queen just in the rear, when a
torpedo, which had not been discover
ed, exploded under the port bow of
the Cairo, literally tearing away the
entire forward part of the boat. The
conclusion and report we're tremend-
eous. Eevery person on board was
knocked down. In nine minutes moth.

were to be seen above water, and the

The steamers David Tatum and
Sally List arrived at Cairo, on the 10Th
inst, direct from Vicksburg. They
brought no further information with
regard to the sinking of the guuboat
Cairo, the particulars which have been
given.
Upon the David Tatum came a lady,
a resident of Wisconsin, who has been
in Vicksbnrg since the war opened,
and whose husband is conscrip.cd into
the rebel army against his will. From
her accounts, which seem truthful, we
gather the following The rebels are
still busy fortifying the place, and
have already planted about 200 guns,
including those in the battery, and in
Notifications extending eight miles
back nearly to the Yazoo River.
Six thousand troops have recently
been sent across the country to Grcna-
da and jackson, but have now return
ed, and before our feet can reach them
and commence operations it is suppos-
ed l0O.00 troops can be concentrated
at Vicksburg, and then it can be only
taken after lengthy and toilsome
siege. The force now at that point
cannot exceed 10000 troops. Many
of the guns lately planted are case
mated on the hillside and protected
from assault by the river. The troops
are well supplied with subsistence,
but have little or no -four, living prin-
cipally upon corn meal. They make
their own shoes.
The citizens Of Vicksburg have for
some time past been busy packing up
their furniture, goods, &C., to be ready
to evacuate the place upon the open
ing of the anticipated assault.
Guerillas still continue burning cot
ton along the river.

Congress-.

Senator Henderson has introduced
an important bill, providing for eman-
cipation in Missouri. The first Sec
ton provides that whenever satisfac-
tory evidence shall he presented to
the President that Missouri has
through her Legislature, or other prop
erly constituted authority, adopted an
ordinance for gradual or immediate
emancipation of all slaves in the
State, it shall be his duty, with the
assistance of the Secretary of the
Treasury, to propose and deliver to
the government of Missouri, to be
used by said State, to compensate for
Inconvenience produced by such
change of system, twenty five millions
United States six per cent year bonds.
Prorided said bonds shall not be deliv-
cred unless the act of emancipation is
adopted by the State within eighteen
months after the passage of this act,
nor unless said act shall provide that
slavery shall forever cease in the
State before or on the 4th of July
1865.
A racy passage occurred between
Powell and Morrell in the Senate.
Powell offered resolution inquir-
ing whether the Secretary of War had
required persons arbitrarily arrested
to take an oath, before lie released
them, that they would not sue him for
damages for unjust Imprisonment.
Mr.. Morrell objected to the effect Of
such resolution, and criticised rather
sharply this effort by the opposition to
increase the embarrassments under
which the country was laboring. Pow
ell retorted quite bitterly, and told
Morrell he would not take the lecture,
&C. Morrell ended the affair by tell
ing Powell he should criticise his po-
sition just as often and freely as his
judgment should dictate. That he
had done SO heretofore and should
continue.
Mr.. Ashley has introduced bill in
into the House proposing temporary
government for Idahoe, and to enable

Colorado to form State Government

The War in Virginia.

Since issuing the 1ntelligencer Of last
week we have news that Gen. Burn
side was induced to abandon the at
tack upon the rebels in their intrench-
mcnts at Fredericksburg, and re-cross
the Rappahannock. This course was
decided upon by council of Gener-
ais, Burnside reluctantly yielding to
the advice of the majority, among
whom were Hooker and Sumner. The
strength of the rebel Notifications was
found to be so great that in order to
carry them the sacrifice of life must
be very great, far more than the OBJ
ject when attained would compensate
for. In the several assaults made by
our Generals, in testing the strength
of the the enemy's works, our loss
was 400 killed and 5000 wounded,
according to the official reports. The
loss in prisoners was 500, while about
the same number Of rebels were cap
turcd, all Of whom have been paroled
The number of rebels killed and
wounded is said to be about as large
as ours, although the rebels give it as
much less.
The crossing of the Rappahannock
was brilliant feat of gencralship,
and the taking of fredericksburg by
the 10th Massachusetts and 9TH Mich
igan was splendid example of dash
and determination The re-crossing
of the Rappahannock was equally as
skillfuIly and successfully managed.
The re-crossing was done in the night
and the rebels we're totally ignorant
of the movement till all had passed
over, although they had several bat
tcries in position to rake the bridges.
Notwithstanding these discomfit-
ures, the army and its leaders have
the deserved confidence of the com
munity. 1t ia felt that Burnside,
Hooker, Sumner and Franklin, not to
mention others, are fully competent to
the great work they have undertaken
to perform, and that their operations
will be characterized by skill and pru-
dence as we'll as by energy and intre-
pidity.
The condition of the army is good,
and its losses have been more than
made up by achievements. The
wounded were well and promptly car
cd for.
