The famous ram Arkansas, which played such
havoc with our feet at Vcksburg, is no more.
A dispatch from the Rebel Gen. Van
Dorm, states that on Monday last the ram left
Vicksburg to cooperate in contemplated at
tack on Baton Rouge. While passing Bayou
Sara, her machinery became disabled, and be-
fore it could be repaired, the Union gunboats
pitched into her. After some resistance, she
was abandoned aud blown up, her officers and

DRAFTING IN INDIANA.-The rules for draft
ing adopted by Gov. MoRToN OF Indiana. are
eminently just, and should be adopted in every
State. The number TO be drafted in any place
is regulated by the number Of volunteers which
the place has sent 10 the war. Towns that
have already sent or more than sent, their
quotas will be visited much more lightly than
those whose inhabitants have shrunk from en-
listment themselves, and perhaps striven to rre-
vent others from doing so.

Difference.

The traffic for the month of January,
1862, is nearly double that Of the cores
ponding month last year, while the ex-
penses arc not materially increased. AL
though the present rate of increase sho'd
not be maintained during the remainder
of the year, the company would be en-
abled, if free from its floating debt, to pay
the interest on all its bonds, and hand
some dividend on.its preference shares.
The position Of the company therefore,
is now moro sounder than ever before,
and its prospects decidedly encouraging.
1t only requires the various classes in in
terest 10 decide in what manner the
means to pay off the floating debt
and river front mortgages, to complete the
balIasting and draining of the line, shall
be provided. When that is done there
will be nothing to divert the attention of
the board or officers from the proper and
economical working Of the line, and the
prompt payment Of interest upon the
bonds and preference shares as it natures.

COLUMBIA.

Columbia's shores are wild and wide
Columbia's hills are high,
And rudely planted side by side,
Her forests meet the eye.
But narrow must those shores be made,
And low Columbia's hills,
And low her ancient forests laid,
Ere freedom leaves her fields.
For tits the land, where, rude and wild,
She play'd her gambols when child.
And deep and wide her streams that flow,
Impetuous to the tide;
And thick and green the laurels grow
On every rivers side.
But should a transatlantic host
Pollute her waters fair,
Wen meet them on the rocky coast,
And gather laurels there;
For, Oh! Columbia's sons are brave,
And free as oceans widest wave.
The gales that wave her mountain pine
Are fragrant and serene;
And never clearer sun did shine
Than lights her valleys green.
But putrid must those breezes blow,
That sun must set in gore,
Ere footsteps Of foreign foe
Imprint Columbias shore.
For. Oh her sons nro brave and free,
Their breasts beat high with liberty.
Then let Columbia's Eagle soar
And bear her banner high
And thunder from her dexter pour,
And lightning from her eye.
And when she sees from realms above
The storm of war is spent,
Descending, like the welcome dove,
The olive branch present;
And then will beauty's hand divine,
The never failing wreath entwine.

MARRIED AT FoRTY Miles AN Hour.

order of the day. On New Years Day,
when the Cleveland and Pittsburgh train,
bound South, arrived at Salineville, par
ty of ten boarded the train. They were,
like the fair Dinah in the thrilingly af-
fccting song, "dressed out in gorgeous ar
ray" and gave other indications of being
out " on little time" BY curious CO.
incidence, a clergyman made his appear
ance at the same time, and was also invit-

started of, and was soon rattling along at
a tremendous speed. Just as it attained
the top of its speed, there was a hustle
in the rear car, the party crowded around
the minister, who thereupon stood up,
facing blushing young lady and slight
ly embarrassed malo passenger, who were
a step or two in advance of the remain
der of the party. A few words weIo said
by the minister, who then stated that the
bonds of wedlock had been made fast,
and pronounced the couple man and wife.
Conductor s., was so carried away
by the excitement of the moment that
he made very neat and appropriate lit
tie speech, and invited the entire party to
ride with him whenever they choose-on
