NEEDS RGPAIRENG.---The old bridge
across the slough just beyond the La

should be attended to by the proper
authorities at once. A portion OF the
abutment has decayed, letting one cor

rendering it extremely dangerous for
loaded vehicles. Let it be repaired
Immediately.

Kirby Smith. March Over tho Mou..

Fl
A member Of the Forth-third Regi-
ment of Alabama Volunteers, writing
from Lexington on the 18th, gives an
account OF the march OF Kirby Smith
from East Tennessee into Kentucky
lie says the "Seventh Brigade" left
Jacksonboro' on Friday, the week be-
fore the battle of Richmond, with
train OF about ono hundred and fifty
wagons, and started through Big Creek
Gap. He says why it sho1ld be called
Gap it ia impossible to tell. They had
very hard work to get through.
The rear Of the train was several
times orly allie to reach the point from
which the advance started IN the morn
ing. In three DAYS tho brigade only
advanced twenty miles. = Rations
gave out, and the men were compelled
to subslst on green corn for several
days. After crossing Pine Mountain
the hard marching began. The brigade
marcued nearly twenty miles day
The feet Of the men were covered with
| oiisters.
Imyself saw several men whose feet
were SO severely bruised that at night
their shoes were SO full of blood that it
could be poured out. Very often
the dust was so thick that it was impos
sible to see from one end Of the Regi-
ment to the other. Yet hungry, thirsty
sore footed and choking with dust, tht
men marched steadily on. The ord
nance stores were brought safely thro
mot a wagon was lost. Let it be re
membered that the march was through
a hostile country, where no friendly fac
ever greeted ns-wherc no friend OF tn
South ever bid us God.specd on GU
way. The men knew not what to OK
pect. If the people Of Kentucky enter
tanned the same sentiments as the in
habitants Of the mountains did, then
was clear that they were marching Int
an enemy's country, with, with number
too small to hold the State, and to
large to make successful and rapid r.
treat.
Under these circumstances, it requil
ed, not only physical but great mora
r courage to meet and overcome the dar
aers and difficulties that surrounded III
9 Many brave actions have been done b
our troops during this war; many VII
y tories have been won, and many har
marches made; but no army has eve
encountered more hardship, overcom
more difficulties, or made a more SUI
] cessful march, than that Of General Hi
by Smith across the Cumberland Moul

important Correction.

There was an important error in the
Presidents emancipation proclamation,
as transmitted by telegraph. 1t occurs
in the following passage:
"The tact that any State or people
thereof, shall on that day be in good
faith represented in Congress of the Uni
ted States by members chosen thereto
to elections wherein majority Of the
qualified voters Of such State shall have
participated, shall, in the absence OF
strong countervallng testimony, be
deemed conclusive evidence that such
State and the people thereof hare not
beer. in rebellion against the United
States"
In the official copy, published in the
National hte1igencer, the words above
italicised, "have lot been," read: are
not then.

The Iowa Corn CRoP.-This stapl e
IS now SO nearly ripe as to be entirely
out of the reach of frosts, and the crop
may now be safely counted upon as the
largest ever produced in the State. The
estimated average yield is SIXTY bushels
to the acre. The Secretary of the State
Agricultural Bureau, after careful inves.
tigatlon, comes to the conclusion that
the aggregate breadth of land occupied
by corn in this State is, at tie very low
est calculation, 1925, 900 acres, giving a
yield of 76,25O,OOO bushels-being l6,.
100000 Bushels more than was produc-
ed last year. The same authority adds
that the crop of this year may reach the
enormous amount Of 1OO,OO0,OOO bush
els. This would give each man, wo.
man and child in Iowa about las bush
els.

respondent after setting around Wash
ington awhile has Matched out new
peace rumor, aud gives it existence IN
10 fact as the reason for the existing qni
etudc' Of our army on the upper Poto-
mac. The new sch eme is miracle OF
wisdom, and will no doubt .astonish the
rebel congress itself. The arrange
ment, In few words, is this : All the
States now in rebellion propose to lay
down their arms, and restore the status
quo ense Je!lum, with this single ex cep-
ion-that the States Of Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Flor.
ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas and Arkansas,be permitted to es-
tablish congress OF their own--thus set
ting up new contederacy within the old
Confederacy. This new ubConfedera-
cv is to take the same position as any
one State of the Union occupied before
the rebellion. Ofcourse the entire mat.
ter has its origin in the brain of the cor
respondent, and as such is entitled to
no importance whatever. When the
rebel States propose to lay down their
arms and come back into the Union
they will meet with consideration, tut al
he present we should as soon think thai
the millennium was at hand as such {
proposal from the seeded States.

COW NJ Free AND WAR.

The impression prevailing among the
masses is that the present war operates
untavorably upon our trade with foreign
countries This may be fact, yet the
figures derived from the best authorities.
show that both exports and imports are
more favorable than they were the two
past years, which is pretty sound proof
that the war is not making such havoc
with the commerce Of the country as
might be. 10 order to lay the matter
before our readers in comprehend bic
and unquestionable form we reproduce
the following commercial article from
the columns Of the United States Econ
onist, paper entirely devoted to the
commercial interests Of the country. Il
is an able AID thorough vindication OF
the immense energies and I'm ual!cd
prosperity of the country. What the
future will bring forth, should the wal
continue, remains with the future:
The monthly returns of the trade O
the port present the same general fea
tuies Of prosperity AS we have noted IT,
several months past. The West still
pours its immanse agricultural wealti
upon our wharves, to be fieighteI to TIE
hsrbors Of Great Hitain and the Cooti
nent Of Europe. Il has been SUPPOSE
that the lato largo volume Of trade i,
produce WAS mere temporary inf ,tion
and that neither the West would contin
ne to produce adequately nor Enrop,
continue its demand TO such an extcn
as to sustain tie i'm nense export O
1861 and of the early months OF 1862
Thus far, however, we lack the first ind
cation that Europe would fail to tax,
any amount Of agricultural produce W,
may offer. Last month we have sen
out Of the port an amount Of produc,
almost doubling the shipments Of an,
previous August in the annals of oul
trade. These are the extraordinary flo

The Republican Party After Election

The Republican Party After Election.
The following confession was made
ny the Hon. Mr.. Dawes, a Republican
member of Congress from Mass, on the
25th Of April, in which he exposed the
corrnptions OF Lincoln's ADMINISTRATION /:
''The gentleman must remember that
in the first year of a Republican admin
'sttation. which came iuto power upon
professions of Reform aud Ketrench-
ment, there is indubitable evidence
abr ad in the land that some BODY has
plundesed the public treasury well nigh
IN single year as much as the entire
current yearly expenses of the Gov
eroment during the administration
which the people hurled from power be-
cause OF its corruptions."
Let this be borne i'll mind by the peo-
PIE and let them take heed how thew
continue such a reckless, extravacant
party i'll power Democratic rule is the
only rule that viii, save this country.

If Presidential proclama,ions are
iraught witt, such immense power as is
claimed for them by the Republican par
ty and its co-workers, it seems to us
that the President should issue another
directly. We would have him at once
officlally proclaim this war at an end.
Let him proclaim that the Southern
army shall lay down their arms-thst is
what we want to see. Let him proclaim
that jeff DAVIS and all his coadjutors in
treason shall at once take the oath OF
allegiance, and return to the paths of
loyalty. Surely, if by proclamation, he
can make the slaves of the rebels free.
he can also extend that power to their
masters, and cause them to desist from
their atroclous rebellion. The power
that will accomplish the one feat, must
surely be sufficient to accomplish the
other. Let US have the other procama
ton.
