From Virginia.

The railroad bridge at Harper's Fer
Ery is completed at last. The railroad
fs also completed from Cumberland to
Martinsburg, but it will take several
days to finish the road from Martins
burg to the Ferry, in consequence of
the want of the rails torn up by the
enemy.
A messenger from Strasburg reports
that the rear guard of Jackson's dis
puted Gen. Shields approach foot by
foot, with infantry and artillery. 1t is
reported that our cavalry occupied the
town. One Of our soldiers was Sc
verely wounded.
The official report says Gen. Shields
encountered the rear guard of Jack
sons forces just beyond Middletown,
with four field pieces aud small bod
les of infantry and cavalry. They
disputed Gen. Shields progress, stop
ping at all the strongest points and
then crossing the bridge. General
Shields, on the 10Th, built Temporal
Fy bridge, and after skirmish, enter
ed the town of Strasburg and threw
out his pickets two miles beyond.
A portion of Gen. Banks corps have
reached Manassas, having marched
via Strasburg and Manassas Gap
railroad.

EXpatriatiOn of Rebel KentuckianS.

The Legislature of Kentucky delay
ed its final adjournment to get some
report from the Governor on the expa-
triation law that had been passed and
sent to him, and finding he could not
kill it by "pockcting," Gov. Magoffin
returned the bill to the Senate, with q
veto message, long, sophistical, and
highly spread with demagoguery.
The Senate listened with patience to
the novel rendering of the constitu-
ton contained therein, and the start
ling deductions drawn therefrom, and
then, in the quictcst manner possible,
passed the bill over the executive
head by a vote of twenty to five. 1t
was then sent into the House of Rep.
rcsentatives, and passed by vote of
55 yeas to 26 nays. So the bill is
now a law, and tolerably tight papers
for disloyal Kentuckians everywhere.
The Legislature Immediately adjourn
ed until the second Wednesday of
November.

An Elephant Declined.

President Lincoln evidently thinks
he has elephant enough on hand, and
is not DESTROYS OF seeing any more of
the same sort. The King of Siam,
plying a country with two hundred
and fifty religions and only one sonp,"
with several rebellions and no ele-
plant, offers to send few Of the lat
ter to be let loose to increase and
multiply on the continent of America.
The President, in his reply, remarks:
"This government would not hest
tate to avail itself of SO generous an
offer, if the object were one which
could be made practically useful in
the present condition of the United
States. Our political condition, how
ever, does not reach latitude SO low
as to favor the multiplication of the
elephant, and steam on land as well
as on water has been our best and
most efficient agent of transportation
in internal commerce."

The Memphis Appeal of the 9Th inst
says Gen. Bragg has left Mobile to
consult with Beauregard about the
protection of the Mississippi valley
against the Lincoln gunboats which
have nearly driven them crazy with
fear \ Mobile paper speaks Of more
Union demonstration at Richmond,
and says the Rebel Capital is overrun
with Federal spies. The Memphis Ar
gus of the 7th thus speaks of Floyd :
I" Floyd ran like moral coward from
the field, and by his disgraceful weak,
ness caused the capituIation and sur
render he lacked the honesty to share.
He should be tried and shot," The same
issue contains a dispatch relative to
the late Sugar Creek battle, announc-
ing the defeat of the Federals, with a
loss of five thousand men Five more
gunboats are being built at Mobile
Oversecrs Of plantations are advised
to stay at home and raise crops for
the sustenance of the soldiers. The
bridges between Nashville and Frank

DEATH OF CAPT. DRIPPs. We are
panied to announce the death of Capt.
Dripps of company A, 9th regiment
of Iowa volunteers. He was killed at
the battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas,
while gallantly leading his brave men
in that terrible fight Captain ID. was
from Maquoketa, Jackson county,
where he leaves Il family to mourn his
loss. He has been connected with
the press of Iowa for several years in
Clayton and jackson counties, aud has
a wide circle Of friends in the State.
He served in the Mexican war, where
he showed himself to be a brave SOL
der and early sought an opportunity
to enlist in the present struggle to
protect tue oneness of the Union, but
failed to get place until the forma-
ton of the 9th regiment commenced.
We well remember how his face
beamed with JOY when he came into
the city and found letter from Col.
Vandever, plcdging him a place, with
his company, i'll that regiment. He
went into the strife from sense of

dignified bearing of the true soldier,

The Constructor Of the Monitor.

John Ericsson, whose name is now
Upon every lip, was born in 1903, in
the province of Vermeand, among
The iron mountains of Sweden. His
father being engaged in mechanical
pursuits, the son early evnced re.
\ markable taste for the same occupa-
4 tion, and before he was ten years of
age he constructed several mcchani-
i cal contrivances which would have
been creditablc to older heads. I'm
1914 he was appointed to a cadetship
in the corps of engineers in the Swe-
dish army, and while in that position
was several times made supervisor of
important trusts, although several Of
ficers outranked him both in age and
position. In 1926 he visited England
and proceeded to construct q number
of new engines of his own invention,
which met with wonderful success.
In the fall Of 1929, the Liverpool and
Manchester Railway having offered a
prize for the best locomotive engine,
to be tested on their road, Mr.. Erics-
son constructed the Novelty steam car,
riage, which darted along the track
at the rate of SO miles an hour. to the
unbounded admiration and applause
of the spectators. He afterwards
constructed several steam fire engines
which proved to be successful inven-
tions. He was the first to apply to
marine engines centrifugal blowers,
using anthracite coal. Mr.. Ericsson
emigrated to this country in 1889, and
his first great achievement was the
building of the United States steam
frigate Princeton, the first vessel that
steam was ever introduced into, with
the works below the water line. His
success was so remarkable that the
Wrench Government engaged him To
s plan the French frigate Pomone, Of
fifty guns, which also proved sue
%ess. He next undertook the planning
and invention of the steamer Ericsson,
d and although it did not meet the ex-
Dcctations of the builder, it was "a
Success. He next determined to CON
truct battery which would be use
ul in naval warfare. On the 5th Of
October he signed the contract for the
construction of the Monitor, and on
he 3lst of December, being a period
Of less than three months, the steam
nachinery and propeller were put in
0 operation, and on the one hundred
and first working day she was launched.
The rest of the history of the Monitor
so well known to our readers that
IS recapitulation here is unnecessary.
# Mr.. Ericsson has had the usual fate
bf inventors. Now he has been pras-
ID for his genius and now ridiculcd
or his supposed blunders. Sometimes
nc has made a hit and then again he
aas missed it, Success has waited
apon him one day disappointment
nd loss the next. At last he is tri-
mphant, and the Monitor" will give
i'm fame,-we wish we could be sure
{ would give him fortune also. But
n these times fortunes do not fall So
eadily into the pockets of honest and
ard-working inventors, as into those
II intriguing contractors. The coun-
ry can be proud Of Ericsson--though
IL is not the land of his nativity
.ong may he live to enjoy the honors
&c has fairly won.

We are pleased TO observe that one of on
morning contemporaries takes the same view
as that expressed by us in several numbers o
this paper, in regard 70 the soldierly qualities
and ability of Gen. Grant.
When the newspaper press of the country
will come to this way OF thinking and will
vindicate the character of such men as Gen.
Grant, the war will soon be virtually at an
end. The vigorous prosecution of the war
will he inaugurated when men like Grant are
put in command OF our army.
There is hut one way to successfully con.
duct II war, which is to provide the troops and
the means and place them under the direction
oi the best military talent and experience OF
he times, and afterwards to change that di
rection according to the developments of the
battlefield. This is the lesson of oil history.
