rhe mi,sissiypi Gmaooa Is,

A Cairo correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, under date of the 9th, says:
An interesting target practice on the part
Of the new gunboats came off at Mound
City on Saturday. The object was to test
the strength Of the gunboat's sides as plated.
A target was placed on each island above
Mound City. The two gunboats were sta.
toned from 1t distance Of Ave hundred
and sixty yards. Only two shots took any
effect, although many hit il. An eighty six
POI nd shell filed with sand, from the Essex,
struck on the target where. the plates were
riveted. 1t merely made slight indention,
and started tie rivets but did not splinter
the wood behind the iron. A solid 32-pound-
er from the ST. Louis knocked out riyet,
but did not penetrate. Many other heavy
shots struck, but made no impression. Those
that went over the target cut down cotton
trees 16 and IL inches in the trunk Ii 9
withes. These gunboats cannot be pcnetra-
ted in the inside unless through their port
holes.
1.-THE rebels of Columbus are in despera-
ton, fearing an attack from our gunboats. -
They have sunk in the channel, just enter
ing Columbus below, heavy scows and wharf
bats loaded down with rocks. They have
heavy chain cables stretched across the river.
They have left channel enough for their
gunboats to run through but if defeated
submarine batteries are placed in the deep
palt Of the river, to be fred by galvanic bat
| teries from their boats. The connection il
SO placed that, they say, the explosions will
take place when they are ten miles below
| Columbus"

A BoLD TnEFr - We regret to learn that
the residence Of james Hawley was entered
on Friday last in the day time, and valua-
BILE watch, belonging to F. W. IIawiey, taken
from the shamber occupied by the latter
Mrs. Hawley had left the house but short
time before, for brief call at Mr. Daggetfs,
across the square, and unfortunately left
the hall door unlocked. The thief, as ap-
pcared by snow tracks ON the floor, entered
the front door, paid hasty visit to the par.
Tor, walked thence mp stairs to the chambers,
where he possessed himself of the watch,
and made his exit undiscovered. Miss. Jones
happening to 60 into the front part Of the
house, found the hall door open and noticed
the tracks, Shut surprising Mr.. F. w. Hawley
had been in, thought no more about the
matter until tea ti'ne when cautioning Fred
erick about shu tng.the door after him, the
discovery was made.
For obvious reasons we refrain from any
illusions to any discoveries made about this
most daring and mysterious transaction,
calculated to lead 10 the discovery of the
thief. Citizens will realize the Importance
Of keeping their hall doors fastened, even in
