PALo.-A very ludicrous scene took
place last Saturday. It had been arran-
ged that 10 lge Of the Golden Syrup or
der should be organized; house was
engaged and speakers from Marion and
Otler Greek townships, provided to be
ON hand 10 give the faithful good SER
mon on the beauties Of the peculiar in
s;itution. The Marion speakers however
.hHled to come 10 time. but Mr.. James
Thomas Of Ouer Creek was " thar" and
found much larger crowd than he ex-
pected 10 meet in such strong Repub.
lican precinct, but not doubling they
were all Of the faithful, he proceeded TO
make the speech Of the occasion. He
abused Lincoln. pitched into Congress
AID the Cabinet. and showed such unnis.
lskable sympathy with treason and re-
billion that the cry of hang him, .
:. bring in a rope" &c, was soon raised.
A rope was brought !; tie excitement in
creased, and Mr.. Thomas was requested
10 say his last words. By good manage
ment, however, he got near the door and
calculating prayer of legs do your
du,y,' he broke for the prairie, fifty or
more excited men in pursuit. Down the
rayine. over, The knobs. through the
slvnghs. on they went towards the banks
Of The Cedar. but Thomas had beat them
All. and as bis pursuers neared the river
banks. they heard something go "ker
chug" into the water with grunt like a
very large bull frog when scared off a
log. Thomas had escaped and pu. tho

In the terrible fight Major Barnum, Of
the 18th New York. was MORALLY woun-
ded, and while breathing his last friend
asked him if he had any message, to
which he replied: "Tell my wife that in
my last thoughts were blended my wife,
my boy and my flag" He asked of the
physician how the battle went, and when
told that it was favorable to us he said /:
/" God bless the old a." and expired
with the prayer finishing inaudibly with
his closing lips. A drawer officer never
urged his men to gallartry. t4Cs2

yorktown Evacuated.

The rebels suddenly evacuated York
town on Friday and Saturday last. after
first spikiDg their heavy guns, and
throwing large amount of their ord
nance stores into the river. The haste
with which they abandoned their posi-
ton, together with the fear lest their
movement should be discovered, deter.
red them from destroying their ammu-
milton, tents, etc. The evacuation was
discovered early on Sunday morning,
our troops entering the works about
FIVE o'clock, or four hours after their
rear had marched out. This is one OF
the most important events of the war.
1t is practically a surrender of Virginia
to the Federal forces, for if they could
not defend Yorktown, where they have
been so long fortifying, what hope can
they have of making stand anywhere
in the State and with our force close
upon the heels of the retreating foe, il
is almost certain that the entire rebel
army must be captured with all their
stores, ammunition and baggage.

The guns of the Fort were worked
with skill and courage, but the sand
hills of our position afforded complete
protection to the men. The hosting
of the white flag was followed by
conference with Gen. Parks and sus-
pension Of hosiiIities until the following
morning. During the night the propo-
sition to surreudur was communicated
to Gen. Burnside, and in the morning
articles of agreement were signed.
The garrison surrendered as prisoners
of war, were released on parole, and
were allowed to take their private effects
with them. The officers retained their
side arms. These were the Terms omg-.
inally proposed by General Parks, but
refused by Colonel White, eomman-
dant of the fort. .s

General Burnside port of entry, with
secure anchorage for his heaviest ves-'

The Losses Summed Up.

The official recapitulation of our
losses in the battle of Shiloh, April G
and Z, makes total of 1853 killed
wounded and missing. as follows =
killed, 1875; wounded, 1882; miss
ing, (prisoners) 1866. This total singu
larly agrees with the first rough esti
mate of "loss from ~, 900 to Is 900.
Subsequently it was undertaken to
write down our loss, and some authori
ties (official or otherwise) got it as low
as $500. 1t was also estimated at frs,
that the rebels had lost from 20, 900 to
$4,000. They, too, have since under.
taken to write it down, and the Mem.
phis papers now put it at 1000. Blu,
all accounts agree that the rebel k killed
and wounded strewed the ground
thicker than our own, as the estimate
of Federal loss holds good we must be
licve that the rebel loss is nearly as first
stated. In those two days, therefore
not less than IS, 900 men on both side.
were put hors az combat. 1t was ar
awful victory.

/ have just time this morning, before
the departure of the Susquehannah, TO
inform the Department of the arrival
here of the rebel steamer Isabella Ella
Marley, i'm charge of Lieut.. Wilson
and a prize crew, she having been
captured by the st. Iago de Cuba,
Commander Ridgley, 100 miles north
of Abbaco. She is deeply loaded with
Enfield rifles, and has, it is supposed,
rifled cannon in her hold, which has
not vet been examined. These arms
were taken on board, of course, at one
of the neutral colonies off our coast
am informed by Lieut.. Gibson that the
St. Iago de Cuba discovered and chased
the Nashville, but the latter was much
too swift for her. The Nashville also
had arms on board for the rebels, inten-
ding to run the blockade if possible.

The Captnre of New Orleans.

The capture of New Orleans is now
fully confirmed, and its great import
ance becomes matter worthy of con-
sideration. The New York Times
Justly remarks that New Orleans is the
outlet to the principal cotton growing
region of the world. All that Europe
wants to set the wheels of its industry
in renewed motion it can obtain here.
The blockade ended, the port in the
custody of the National Government,
its Custom-house re-opened, and ample
protection afforded to the transactions
of commerce, it cannot be otherwise
than that the afflux of the momentous
staple will begin at once, the produc
ing classes gladly clutching the unac
customed gold the broker has to offer
them. There is the best reason for be-
lieving the monied and Commercial
classes of New Orleans to be entirely
in sympathy with the cause of the
Union. 1t is known, through channels
of perfect authenticity, that the news
of the surrender of Island number IL
embroidered the Unionists of New Or
leans to declare themselves, and te
promise that on the appearance of
Union force sufficiently strong to de
fend the city against return Of the
rebels, they would instantly surrender
the place. The wealth of the city is il
Union hands. The merchants an6
bankers have advanced largely on tho
crop, and with our gunboats to oper
and protect communication up the Mis-
sissippi and Red rivers, it will not bt
long before the planters will be sending
in their crops so as to obtain the bal
ance in their favor, and sell the stool
still uncovered by advances.
New Orleans is no barren acquisi
ton. 1t is the key of the broadcast ant
most productive valley in the world
But for the artificial channels opened
by northern skill, it would be the out
let of food enough to feed, and cotton
enough to clothe the race. 1t still re
mains the outlet of cotton withou
limit, and sugar enough to supply tn,
North; and, repossessed by the Nation
al authority, it will presently resum,
the full activity of its trade. In thi
point of view, therefore, the captur,
of the city will be fully appreciated il
Europe. Not only will the skill ant
gallantry of our sailors be fifty applaud
ed, but it will be seen that the plans O
the National Government take prac
teal direction that where it is impor
tant to find Union sentiment in tn
South, it is found and that the capac
ity of the rebels for protracting tn
war is approaching its end.

Mr.. Howard,s Speech.

We present this week a portion of
Hon. Jacob M. Towards speech to the
Senate, on the bill TO confiscate the
property and free the slaves of rebels.
The remainder of the speech we shall
give next week, it being too long for
one issue. The speech is sound,
able, statesman-like and lawyer-like
argument in favor of the bill in ques-
ton, conclusively proving the constitu-
tionality of the measure. There are
numerous objects to be attained by the
passage of such a bill, one of which is
to punish the rebels for the crimes they
are committing, another to cripple them
and destroy their power to carry on the
war, and another and vitality important
one, to make them pay as far as posi-
ble the expenses Of the war they have
inaugurated, and thus tighten the bur-
dens of the loyal people of the North.
Let every one read Mr.. Howard 8
speech. 1t is conclusive proof of the
sound policy of confiscation and shows
in clear and unmistakable language,
the wisdom, justice and entire necessi-
ty of such measure at this time. The
historical argument is complete in all
its parts. The precedents he elected
from the example of all nations; the
research Of the law of nations, the pre-
cedents heretofore established in this
country are all pointed out, and show
clearly that the position taken by the
Senator is no new tangled idea but is
founded in justice, and in accordance
with the usage of the most enlightened
nations from time immemorial.

A RIGHTEoUs ACT.-The President,
it it announced, has removed from his
command in Kansas, the drunken, pro-
slavery General, Sturgis. and ordered
that most detestible of all pro. slavery
ties, Gen. Denver TO leave Kansas and
report to the General Commanding in
Texas. This is righteous act. They
have long been the scourge of Kansas,
their whole power having been used to
oppose and annoy the loyal citizens oil
the State, and to give aid and comfort
slave-holding rebels in Missouri. Be.
ing both traitors at heart, they have
shown no disposition to aid in putting
down the rebellion; but, on the contra.
ry, their sympathies and their acts have
been just what the traitors themselves
could desire. The brave Colonies Jen.
nlson and Montgomery have been the
especial object of their malignant pros
ecutions. But it is to be hoped tina,
the reign of tyranny is at an end.
