4 BAD PRACTICE.--On Thursday
evening there were enough children
at the Church to fill a number of
seats, while old, grey-headed men
and young men too-had TO stand
out of doors This is all wrong.
Children under fourteen, of both
sexes. should not be taken to PoLIr-

From the Nashville Union, April 12th.l
Since the battle of Pittsburg our city
has swarmed with rebel rumors of the
most awful character. Some suffers moved
their stores the other day to follow the
army, and it was reported among the rebels
that this was done to escape being cap
tured by the returning Confederate forcesl
They won glorious victory at Pittsburg
without losing over twenty men. They also
captured the whole Union army. Island
No. 10 was blown out of the river by one
of Pillows torpedoes, carrying with it all
the federal gunboats so high that their
fragments are still dropping at intervals
from the clouds. Ben McCull9ch and FOL
licoffer rode through the streets Of this city
last night in disguise. Colonel Nor
gan passed several hours with Governor
johnson at the capitol, disguised as a bean
tiful young virgin of fifteen summers
Gen. Johnston's ghost was seen at midnight
by an old lady sitting straddle on the
shoulders of the female statue at the capt.
toll and whistling Dixie with all his might.
He hailed McCuIloch as he rode by, but
that distinguished and sprightly individa-
ais only reply was, " oh HelEf'

KENTuCKY's Lcss.-A correspondent ofth
Cincinnati Gazette, Writing from the battle
, field at Pittsburg Landing, announces as
among the killed, Captains Vaughan and
Morton, of the Twenty 18th Kentucky,
Captain Morgan, of the Seventeenth Ker-
lucky, Captain johnson, Sixth Kentucky,
forty of the Eleventh Kentucky, Colonel
Hawkins, and twenty of the Twenty-sixth
Kentucky, Colonel Burbridge. There is no
Captain Morgan attached to the Kentucky
volunteers, so that we fear the names above
referred to are those Of Captains Robert
Vaughan, of this city, and Preston Morton,
from near Calhcon, who were attached to
Colonel MeHenry's Seventeenth regiment.
1t will, we fear, be hoping almost against
hope to expect that our townsman Vaughan,
so universally esteemed, has been exempt
from the fate reported. We have known
him long and well, and though he would
have desired no nobler death than in the
defence of his country's honor, We feel that
such a soul as his should have winged its
flight from some more glorious cause than
the weapons of this accused rebellion. He
leaves widow and several children to the
nations care and the heartfelt sympathy
of their many friends.-LoW. Jour.
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1862-04-18

our guns were not of sufficient range to
check the operations.
Yesterday, however, the gunboat Sebagu
arrived, having 1o0-pounder Parrot gun,
and at once opened upon them with shell,
which were so well aimed that they could
be seen falling in their midst and exploding
with fatal effect The rebels could be dis
tinctly seen carrying off their killed and
wounded, and in the course of two hours
the work was entirely suspended, the men
retiring out of range. At every attempt to
renew the work they were driven back up
to night. The guns mounted by the enemy
on the Yorktown side of the river number
ed not less than fifty 1O0-pounders, six of
them ri6ed, bearing directly on the bar.
The gunboats are at present about two
miles below the town. There is said to be
skirmishing along the whole line before
Yorktown, and the Berdan sharp-shootere
are spreading terror among the gunners of
the enemy by their unerring aim. Tbs
enemy have made several soTties with infan-
try to dislodge or capture our rifeman, but
have been driven back with heavy loss. As:.to
the arrangements for the final seige, we
need only say the work goes bravely on.
