Lincoln aunboess on the Tennessee

River.
From the Tuseumbis (Ala.) Constitution Prb. -
The news Of the arrival of Lincoln's
gunboats in our water, on Saturday last,
created the most intense excitement in
our community. Hitherto the people had
reposed in isncied security. puIsuing their
ayocaticns with more than ordinary thrift,
relying upon the military to guard their
homes, rivers and railroads, without do
ing their full share of the work necessary,
but the fall of Fort Henry and the pos
session of the Tennessee river awakened
the importance of the crisis before them,
and we are rejoiced to see the readiness
and feryor with which they responded to
the emergency. The neighboring towns
sent volunteer companies on the non
horse, and the people of the country for
about fifty miles around, came trooping
to town through mud and darkness i'm
mediately to the rescue. Promptly Gov
ernor Shorter called out the militia and
the Confederacy sent assistance. There is
no longer any need to appeal to the peo-
pie to take up arms.
Every man you meet introduces con-
yersation by the remark, 81 came as soon
as got the news" We have made il ouI
special business to find out what aid and
comfort the enemy got from Fort Henry
to Florence and as yet have heard of only
one man, who at Florence went down and
showed them where 10 land and took ba-
con for his services and hauled it away
after night. Quite a solus turn out OF the
Lincolnites of North Alabama. There
never were one dozen here and there
seems to be only one Of them left A
deputation Of citizens of Florence visited
the gunboats to see what they were doing
and what were their intentions, and we
are informed were told that the enemy
did not intend TO burn the bridge or to
interfere with private property, but would
take the Government stores and destroy
the property of disloyal men, linen who
were not Lincolnites.) If that be true,
the enemy will have TO make this whole
country barren waste and bowling will
derness, for only one loyal man was found
by them, and the whole country will with
a perfect rush take zap arms in defence OF
| their homes, wives and children.
Only two gunboats came up to Flor.
ence. They did not burn the old ware
/
house at the Tuscumbia Landing. When
they arrived in sigh.of Florence the three
steamboats, loaded with about $4,000
worth of Confederate stores, lying at the
bridge were set fire to by the Confeder.
ates and one of them turned loose, at
which the enemy fred two shots and
backed down the river to let it pass, and
after that fired two more shots, one in the
woods and the other not known where
By direction of bacon bought Lincolnite
the boats landed at Florence, bursted
open the warehouses and took what they
wanted, however not interfering with
goods marked to private individuals, cut
the telegraph wire and tried to steal the
news, stayed until night and put back
down the river. We understand that five
more gunboats came up as high as New
port, no transports were seen with them.

Piscatory-Asking for Water and
Getting FiShea.

The Chicago people are in a bad way;
their hydrants give out fishes and tad
poles, and their water pitchers and tanks
smell like the last run of shad. They
have to strain all their drinking water,
and the noise of the finny tribe in the
pipes disturbs the people SO at night that
they are compelled to muffle the pipes
and wad up the faucets. Wherever the
street hydrants are allowed to run, there
is a fish stand, and it is said that the &C.
emulation Of animal matter and fish
bones in the streets is alarming. The
Chicago Journsl states that any effort of
the fire department to put out fires only
adds fuel to the flames, that the fish oil in
the water only makes the conhagration
ten times worse.

From Western Virginia.

A report has reached us, from q source
entitled TO confidence, that few days ago
a body Of the enemy attacked our cavalry
near Packs Ferry, in the county of Fay
cite, took two or three prisoners, and
killed few horses. The Federals en-
gagged in this little affair, however, did
not have long to congratulate themselves
upon the triumph; for they subsequently
encountered the 45th Virginia regiment
formerly Col. Heth's, and fight ensued,
in which the Yankees were utterly rout-
ed.
Since the above was in type, we have
learned that the first brush with the
Yankees took place at Jumping Branch,
in Mercer county, the latter part of last
week. Our cavalry, consisting of not
more than two companies, (some say one, J
was surprised and attacked by the enemy,
who killed one man, and took six prison
ers, and captured some Of the horses
The 10Th regiment, encamped at Packs
Ferry, started to reinforce the cavalry but
fell in with six hundred of the enemy,
whom they engaged and repulsed; with
what loss, is not stated The account of
the affair was brought to this city by a
resident of Monroe county, Va.

Rumor has it that those two valiant
Southern men, Col. VIM. Ii. Sneed, and
Col. John H. Crozier, have packed their
traps and gone kiting down South. We
don't know what truth there is in the re-
port, but as such move ON their part
would be characteristic, we would not be
surprised to learn that il was strictly true.
We hope the two distinguished gentle
men may keep travelling until they reach

letter lately received from John B. May, Esq ,
our old townsman. lie writes from Walla Walla,
and had been to both Powder and John Days
rivers, aud gives anything but lattering nc
count OF the mineral resources of those streams.
He went to Otter Bar, on the latter stream,
where he prospected claims which we're being
worked, and declares that he can do better in
any of the claims deserted by Chnamen near
Lowdens ranch. Miners were working the bars
along the stream, but was told that the bed Of
the creek yielded better Being an old miner,
he naturally concluded that where the bars
wouldn't pay the bed wouldn't.
Powder river pays moderate wages, but he
eavs there are thousands OF men on their way to
California, who think they can do better here.
Mr. May was not willing to give up, and intended
leaving for Florence City If he found nothing
there he should go on to the Carboo country.
