DRowNED--Two men belonging to the
Infantry regiment organizing at Shawnee
town, Illinois, were drowned on Wednesday
evening last The water covers a con-
siderable portion Of the town, overaowing
also the plank road leading ont from the
place to the camp. The men while in
town, drank too freely, it is supposed, and
in going to camp, lost their way, got off
the road into deep water, and were drowned
before any help could reach them.
Shawneetown is dismal looking place
in times of high water. communications
from house TO house being kept up by means
of boats II has all the water privileges of
Venice, but without ".the gay gondolier.7

Ger. Hallcck's Assessme \ I.

The statement that Gen, Halleek had
recedea from his assessment Of 100000
upon the rebel estates Of st. Louis, has
been corrected for some days. 1t would
have been a surrender wholly uncalled for,
and dishonorable. What Gen: Halleck
proposed to do was simply to change the
board Of assessors, and have revision of
the roll--the tax having been by the old
board unequally levied. He has no idea
Of letting off the rebels without payment
Of the SIC, 900, and OF future sums that
may be required for the support of dis
tressed Union fugitives. The new board
is composed Of the following gentlemen:

would put stop to the drain. The els
terms are made for public safety, not for

yet we learn that large number Of per
sons are in the constant habit Of drawing
more or less daily from the cisterns. We
presume it is only necessary to call atten.
