far from New Madrid as when they started
but Che bayou was comparatively free from
trees and underground and they made RAPID
progress toward the river. Finally, after hav
! ing been in the woods over two weeks, with
out sight of dry land, they emerged into the
Mississippi once more, and with joyful hearts
steamed up to New Madrid, amid the enthu-
siastio welcomings of our soldiery, who saw III
them the harbingers of change and relief lheY
had travelled about eighteen miles in getting
! through
This great feat of ingenuity and perseyer-
ance was thus accomplished without a single
! drawback TO its complete success. The result
of it was an immediate movement by the enc
my who saw themselves surrounded and cut
| off from all hope of escape. The boats quickly
transported the troops across, under cover OF
the gunboat and battery fire, and the rebels
were pursued to their cover, where they were
captured to man. 1t was project emnentiy
impracticable at first view, and in such lIgh'
they saw it. They knew that we were at WORK
at something of the kind, but the idea OF our
being successful never entered their MINDS
They said among themselves that the Yankees
were digging a canal across the country, ana
laughed to think of the folly They were
struck with CONSERVATION when the boats came
cut into the river, before their very eyes, and
took their places at the levee at New Msdrla'
and then they began to think that tho Yankees
were in earnest when sthey started to travel
across the country by steamboat Four steam
boats were taken across.
A correspondent of the Chicago Times sums
up the fruits of the capture as follows:

Though [ wrote a short aud disconnected note
on the morning after the battle, that will relieve
YOU Of anxiety, yet I must not fail to give an i'm
mediate answer to your two letters Of Mar. 3lst
and Apr. 3d. which also brought Jennie and
Grandmothe1s letters. They arrived last evening,
aGd being the FIRST after our hard fought battle,
assure you were very rery acceptable I'wo also
came from Charlie which were of course very
comforting You certainly have heard OF our re.
cent engagement yet may still be in the dark as
| to lgho are the sufferers. l hope my note may
have speedy passage and relieve our Kenosha
friends the anxiety they mustsurely have felt.
You viii probably hear that our battery is lost and
cut to pieces, yet all such reports are false We
lost no guHs and but one OF Us was killed and five
wounded We were on the field nine hours Sun
day, but were kept IN reserve the day following.
though we were moving forward into position on
! Monday afternoon when the rebels commenced
their flight.
/ ! cannot describe the fry of the engagement
during the two daya and very much doubt the
ability Of any one to do SO, To say that Il rra,

bloody conflict The only true idea of this horri
hIe FIGHT could be gained by sight OF the field OF
which we fought for two days Dead and wound

Messrs. Editors:
Dropping in at the City Council Room last evca-
ng, was pleased to find that our City Fathers
manifested a commemorate coneo n to adopt such
policy as would be calculated to lessen our City
burdens, in our common aud small expenditures
But l hoped to learn that they were about to take
steps to relieve tho City, in some deyree from its
embarrassnents arising from the great debt which
hangs upon it, by bringing up the enabling act,
passed recently by Legislature, for the accep
lance ofthe citizens Butt in this am disappont-
ed There does not seem to be as much interest
felt by the Council IN this matter is rea5ond BILE
to expect, in a matter of such vital Importance tC
the growth, and even existence ofths place. With
orr liabilities unchanged no real estate in thi
city can be sold, at present at any living prices,
and almost every enc feels disheartcned and wish
es to find some other location for home, but can
hardly get means 10 take him away. But if tht
special law of our Legislature is accepted by the
Freeholders there is every good reason to believe
that our debts may be reduced one half and sutii
cient time given to accommodate the inhabitants
and at the same time, giving cay who may wish,
an opportunity to relieve his property at ouce.-
And there is no reason to doubt that when our
city Indebtedness is properly adjusted, the char
acter of the City will be so improved, as to encour
age capital TO come in, and our property will be
wonderfully increased in value. 1t is earnestly
desired that our City Council viii not longer neg
loct these weighty matters, 1t will be vain to
hope for prosperity as City, however we'll they
may transact minor business, while our city debt
hangs over our heads, 10 be source of constant
litigation and expense Some have feared that
majority of the treehoIders of our city would vote
| against compromise of our debts at fifty per cent
discount preferring all the risk, uncertainty and
dishonor Of entire reputation, and strife in law
But no reasonable person can make such choice.
Nothing IS more perplexjng than q constant state
of suspense and such orr present condition, and
thus we must remain until we are all ruined, | be
lieve, unless these city debts are in some way ad
Ijusted, 50 that can know what we have to M et
however well our city affairs in other respects may
be conducted. We strain at a gnat and scal

Cease you'd weeping youthful mother

All that anguish you must smother
Though your soul wi tn grief is shaken.
Look above and there behold him
In the bosom of his God
With dis other lambs He'll fold him
Think rot OF the chilly sod.
Though more your little Harry
Runs to meet you, when you come
Though his absence long must carry
Grief all the loved at home.
Think who gave and who hath taken,
Know that he is freed from pain,

You will clasp your child again.
Clasp him, never more to sever,
From his presence nee'r to part
But live on in bliss forever,
With your darling at your heart.

Messrs II. Robbins, A. Smith, H Smith, Wright

We know that the arrangement of the building
