THE EVACUATION OF C0RINTH.

THE EVACUATION OF C0RINTH.
The conduct of the Southern "chivalry'
is anomalous-it is exceedingly irregular
Aside from their vain glorious boasting
and extrayagapt promises at the outset
the word "chivaIry," with which they
dubbed themselves, vas sufficient to com
mand little respect at least in the mind:
Of innocent persons; but the work which
they undertook to accomplish elevated them
somewhat in the eyes of those who looked
obviously upon First Families" and such
like. But what has years experience on
the bloody field of Mars proven Exactly
what might be expected, and as has been
demonstrated over and over again in Other
than military pursuits-arrant humbugs
They are the most Inundated pack Of
lickspittles that ever stood condemned be-
fore the bar of the world; God only knows
the depth of their degradation when the
Government is done with them. Southern
steel, backed by chivalry," seems to be nc
impediment whatever to the metal alone
subject to the magnetism of the Stars and
Stripes.
Our geographical knowledge is insult
cient to place the precise whereabouts Of
the "last ditch" in which the chivalry
contemplate making manifest their prowess,
&c. We have followed them from one fort
and forti6cation to another, until both their
grand armies-ou the Potomac and Missis-
sippi- finally lodged in places deemed by
military men to be impregnable: Yorktown
and Corinth. But both these strongholds
have been evacuated, and their armies on
the march southwark. Corinth was evac-
uated on the 50th of May, and is now
occupied by our own troops, under General
Halleck. Such movements must be disas-
trous to their cause, already weakened by
a long series of defeats on field and water.
Their unholy cause furnishes but little
stimulus, and the sure progress of the
Government, justiGes the assumption that
the end is near at hand, and that peace
will soon shed its blessings broadcast over
the land.
We have just faith enough in Southern
chivalry to believe that the fate of York
town, Norfolk, and Corinth, awaits Rich
mond. 1t is too far from the Gulf to be
the last ditch-they will make no stand
while there is such an extent of country for
them to run over.
The following dispatch respecting the
evacuation of Corinth was received by the
War Department from General HalIeck:
HEADQUARTERS, NEAR CoRINTII, May so.
To Hon. Z. NJ. STANTON, Secretary of War:
The enemy's position aud works in front
Of Corinth were exceedingly strong. He
connot occupy stronger position. In his
fight this morning he destroyed an immense
amount of public and private property,
stores, provisions, wagons, tents, &c. For
miles out of town the roads are filled with
arns, haversacks, &c., thrown away by his
fleeing troops. A large number Of pris-
oners and deserters have been captured,
estimated by General Pope at 2000 Gen.
Beauregard evidently distrust his army or
he would have defended so strong a posi-
tion. His troops are generally much dis
Outraged and demoralized. For the last
few days their resistance has been slight.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
Ascher & Co., of IndianapoliS, have
boought out small trashy book, in cheap

bogus production, doing me great injustice,
and BY no means reporting me correctly,
either as to my history or speeches since
came North. I am now preparing genu.
inc book of the kind, and will have it out
in q few days, rublished by Geo. w.
Childs, of Philadelphia. Applegate & Co.,

bogus concern, as shall at once commence
legal proceedings against all concerned in
vending it, as we'll as the publisher.

eight important routes. Mr.. Harlan, the
successful bidder on the route from Leav-

THE COMING FOURTH OF JULY.

The time is now rapidly approaching when
another Fourth Of July will be witnessed by the
American people. The glorious "reminiscences
that cluster around this celebrated day must be
rendered doubly dear to all loyal citizens Of the
country by the memorable events of the last six
months One Fourth of July in the year 1776
saw determined people declare themselves free
and independent; another Fourth Of July in the
year 1862 will probably behold the same people
ernment they were to found it. That the
American Union is to remain a whole lone and
inseparable," is no longer a matter Of doubt.
The Power that made the Nation is as powerful
to re-make it, as recent facts in our Nation S
history have irrefragibly shown. The Union
has passed through an ordeal of fire, and thanks
to an overruling Providence is coming out,
although not unscathed, still at heart uninjured.
That the coming Fourth of July will be ccle-
brated all over the Northern States is plain
enough and in this connection we would
suggest to the people of this county the pro-
priety Of taking steps for proper celebration Of
the day in Junction City. Let us not be back
ward in this matter. The perils of the hour
demand Of the people full and unequivocal
expression-and thanks rendered to our Father
in Heaven for his approval of our cause, and the
perfect safety with which he has steered our
beloved Country amid the shoals of Slavery
and the breakers of Treason. The future
interests Of the country will not suffer if the
people themselves exhibit laudable desire to
show their respect and love for the Union by
celebrating the coming Fourth. 1t wont cost
much-not half as much as two or three dances

A snd Romance.

The Washington EUening Star, of Saturday
has the following:
A young man of rare attachments, the son of
an eminent lawyer Of Albany, left his Northern
home u few years since, to seek fortune in the
South He settled at Clarksvie Tenn. where
he soon gained scores Of friends. He estab-
lished seminary there, and in year or two
married native" young lady Of amiable
character.
Shortly after the secession of Tennessee, the
seminary was broken up; most of the pupils
enlisted, aud the head of the establishment sue.
cum6ed to the pressure and enlisted also. Be
fore leaving home. he told his wife to collect
his debts, settle his affairs and make herself as
comfortable as possible among her friends until
happier times. As for him, he would desert as
soon as he got within sight OF the Potomac and
rejoin his family in Albany, until times were
Sc tiled. The parting was a sad one but the
husband promised to write often, and an occa-
siona letter fran him cheered the dropping
spirits of his helpmate. The letters ceased f.
naly, and the devoted wife, fearful of the fate
of her husband, could not be reconciled but,
in spite of the protestations of her friends, sig
nitied her determination to make her way to he
husbands Northern home After numerous
trials she reached Albany, and found that her
husbands family was in utter ignorance OF his
&te-they knew nothing and had heard nothing
from him since the stoppage of the mails. The
feelings of the faithful and loving wife may be
imagined.
Weary months passed, and still no tidings Of
the absent one were received. At length came
the news Of the fall of Fort Donelson, and
short time afterwards number of secessi on
prisoners passed through Albany, on their way
eastward These the venerable fat her eagerly
questioned, but they knew nothing of bis son.
He had almost given up in despair, but finally
one of the prisoners fippanty observed in re-
ply 10 the question asked him: What, the
ProfessorS Oh, yes He was shot last sum
mer for desertion." The particulars of the at
tempted escape aud subsequent execution were
elected from the prisoner, who belonged to the
same regiment, and the bereaved parents and
wife yet mourn the loss Of the husband and son.

AND THE WAY IN WHICH SHE FELL ASLEEP.
"Hug me closer, closer mother,
Put your arms around me tight;
ara cold and tired, mother,
And I feel so strange tonight
Something hurts me here, dear mother,
Like a stone upon my breast
Oh, l wonder, wonder, mother,
Why il is ! cannot rest!
"All day long. while you were working,
AS | lay upon my bed,
] was trying TO be patient,
And to think of what you sad:
How the kind and blessed Jesus
Loves His lambs to watch and keep
And / wish He'd come and take me
Tn His arms, that I might sleep.
Just before the lamp was lighted,
just before the children came,
While the room was very quiet,
heard some one call my name.
And at once the window opened,
Ia q field were lambs and sheep,
Some from out a brook were drinking,
Some were lying fast asleep.
But [ could not see the Savior,
Though 1 strained my eyes to see;
And { wondered if He saw me,
Would he speak to such as me
In a moment l was looking
On a world SO bright and fair,
Which was fall of little children,
And they seemed so happy there
They were singing, Oh how sweetly
Sweeter songs l never heard
They were singing sWeeter, mother,
Than can sing our yellow blrJ.
And while [ my breath was holding,
One so bright upon me smiled;
And knew it must be Jesus,
When He said, Come here my child !
"'Come up here, my little Bessie
Come up here and live with me,
Where the children never suffer,
But are happier than You see !
Then I thought Of all You told me
OF that bright and happy land;
was going when you called me,
When you came and kissed my hand.
And at first felt so sorry
You had called me IL would 60
Oh to sleep, and never suffer
Mother, don't be crying so
Hug me closer, closer, mother,
Put your arm around me tight
oh! how much l love you, mother,
But l feel so strange, tonight

To her oyerburdened breast,
On the heart so near to breaking,
Lay the heart so near its rest.
At the solemn hour Of midnight
In the darkness, calm and deep,
Lying on her mothers bosom,
Little Bessie fell asleep! ANONYMOUS.
