The SHAREHOLDERS BEFORE YORKTOWN
The correspondent OF the New York CONNER
cal says.
The Sharpshooters have, thus far; enjoyed
the honors Of the siege. They have burrowed
themselves in rife pits, in which they ensconce
themselves early in the morning and remain I'm
til sunset. Their rations are sent to them, and
as their pits are damp, : wee drap of whiskey
is included. They use their telescope rifles,
which they load with old-maidish care, rapping
away with their mallets on hickory ramrods, -
Then the sights have to be adjusted. and then
woe to the rebel who approaches one of these
guns noun ed on their eartbworks en- 6or6eAe-
When one of these sharpshooters is sure that he
has dropped his man, he cuts notch on the
stock OF his rifle, and some of them have alrea-
dy formidable array of death-scores.

The WEATHER AT THE ANTIPoDEs The LON
don Times Melbourne correspondent writes that
the people Of South Australia had just passed
through period of excessive heat. The early
part of summer was unusually cold but on
the 18th and 18th Of January The heat became
excessive. Various thermometers indicated lO5
degrees, JOG degrees, lOS degrees, and even Ill
degrees in the shade On the second day the
heat was accompanied by powerful gale from
the northward, /" feeling like that from fiery
furnace, or that which has passed over the sur.
face of heated IRON" The writer states thai
such visitations are unusual, happening onl,
once in three or four years. In 1853, during
one CT those hot blasts, the thermometer rose t.
III degrees in the shade, continuing, however
ut that figure for about an hour only.

For the freeman .
1862.
BY LYDIA L. WHITE.

O 'tis privilege to live
In such time az this,
When Human Liberty, betrayed
BY the Judaic kiss,
Comes forth with firm and fearless step,
With calm and noble mien,
From its we'll guarded sepulchre,
In which may now be seen
Not angels in celestial robes,
But angels robed in clay,
Who with pure hearts and noble deeds
Have rolled the stone away.
"Be not afraid; the bonds are loosed
"All men shall yet be Free"
In decided, certain voice
Saith Human Liberty
The veil is rent, beyond we see,
Through flying mists and clouds,
Truths, that have long been closely wrapped
In dark and dismal shrouds,
Break forth in clear and holy light
Illuming earth and sky,
Before which Errors Haunting train
In dim confusion fly.
The day is precious, noble deeds
Must greet it's rising sun,
Though our heart idols all be crushed
A victory must be won.

grew out OF the partisan warfare respecting the

destiny of the South.
" Weare having pretty hard times here again
this Spring, and, judging by appearances, fear
that we shall have q harder time than we had
last Summer. The traitors have already COM
menced their atrocities upon Union men. They
are shooting them down on all sides Six were
shotup near Edna last week. was acquainted
with some of them. One was school master
named Norcross, and your city was his native
place. He was one of the finest men Knox Co.
could produce. Not only at Edna, but in all
sections of the country the traitors are com.
nitting the same inhuman deeds.
There is certainly something wrong with
the Government, for we can do nothing with
the traitors Our officers allow US only to take
prisoners and bring them to headquarters where
they take the oath Of allegiance, and are let go
again. That only makes things worse for they

them. My motto is, shoot them down where
they are found. The Union men of this coun-

think the secesh programme will be 10 raise an

The Battle of Pittsburg Landing.

The correspondent of the World, writing from
Cairo, thus speaks of the condition of the two
armies after the battle at Pittsburg Landing:
WILL THE ENEMY MAKE A STAND!
There are two or three questions very preva-
lent among the survivors, as we'll as among
strangers The first is, naturally, where is the
enemy? The last accounts, reaching down TO
| Thursday night, give no very satisfactory ac-
count. By reason of the bad roads and the
jaded condition of our cavalry, they could not
pursue the enemy far 1t is reported in camp
that the enemy had left Cornth. There is moth
ing absolutely reliable, except that the enemy
was repulsed with great slaughter, the principal
and best portion of his artillery captured, and
the retreat effected in some disorder.
A conversation with the correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, who was taken prisoner
in the commencement of the fight, and who re-
manned with the enemy on Sunday night on our
camp ground, who was taken halt way to Co
rinth, but escaped about clock on Monday
afternoon while under guard, and who conse-
quently viewed the battle from the side OF the
enemy, gives me the impression that it will be
almost impossible for the rebels to make another
serious stand When he deserted, the retreat,
commencing in good order, had degenerated into
a flight, and even into panic quito as bad as
that of Bull run. 1t is possible that, with the
advantage of such leaders as Beauregard and
Bragg, they may make stand at Corinth or at
Grand Junction, on the route to New Orleans.
Both places are fortified. The loss Of their field
artillery is almost irreparable, and unless they
have fixed pieces at Corlnth they will be obliged
to scatter. They are thoroughly demoralizod
without doubt.
REORGANIZATION OF OUR ARMY.
[ need not be ashamed to say that the army
is demoralzed. 1t has received blow that has
shattered it to the center. tt is probably no
disgrace to men who have sustained so grave a
pressure that they are somewhat cowed by the
results. A few days, however, under the or
ganzing eye Of the commander in chief will re-
store it to q tolerable state of efficiency. 1T an
other battle is to take place, which is doubtful
General Halleck will lead in person. and with
the aid of General Buell., and it is hoped Of
General Smith, will outweigh in skill the Con-
iederate leaders, as much rs the native valOr %
their troops is inferior to our own.
