GARDEN THIEvEs.-The gardens in the
upper part of the city, especially those where
the proprieters have at great pains and ex-
pense raised choice fruit, have been robbed
frequently of late. Friday night one of these
gardens was visited by some scamps, who rob
bed "Flemish beauty" pear tree of all its
fruit. The attention of our police is invited
TO, these plunderings. In the meantime we
advise the owners of these gardens to have
revolver, loaded with shot, ready, and to give
the scamps taste of it when they make their
appearance.

Matters in and around Pensacola.


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.
The special correspondent of Forney's Press,
writing from Pensacola, 10Th, has the follow
ing items.
First Lieut.. Mack Tilton, Z. S. Marines. is
detached from the command of Pilot Town.
La, to take charge of Pensacola Navy Yard
The steam frigate Susquehanna has been
condemned, and will proceed home at the
first opportunity.
The Iroquois has her machinery injured, and
goes home soon.
The Winona made her way through an in
tricate passage and succeeded i'm getting into
position to enable her to fire over the canal
with effect at the enemy's gunboats, one of
which she was able to hit with three eleven
inch shells, which rendered the rebel unman-
ageable, and prevented her from steaming up
the harbor.
Fort Morgan opened a heavy fire on the Wi
mona, and compelled her to beat hasty re-
treat. She received not much injury from the
shots of the forts, which struck around her
and passed over her to the distance of half
mile, showing that her distance from their
position could not be less than three miles and
ahalf. Such brilliant reconnoisances frequent
ly performed would soon batter to pieces the
enemy's fine fleet, and render it more easy
undertaking for Admiral Farragut's squadron
when operations are commenced against
Mobile.

there were last year seven sons. Five of them
volunteered and enlisted for the war. The
sixth son was about to do the same thing when
death snatched him away. Mr.. Jumper died

he has frequently threatened to do.

Saturday noon. As carriage was passing,

SO near that the foot of the horse struck her,
knocking her down, and the wheel of the ye-
hicle passed over one Of her legs. She was
severely but not dangerously injured; no bones
were broken. Children should not venture off
the sidewalks. We have often wondered that
such accidents as the above do not more fire.

children so daring as to run almost under the

ADDRESS UPON THE WAR-Last evening,
In State Street Church, Rev. DIR. cleveland,
late Chaplain of one of the regiments at Ship
Island, gave history of his experience in that
position, and related many incidents that came
under his observation. DIR. Cleaveland is a
brother of the late Professor Cleaveland of
Bowdoin College. Although upwards of 62
years of age, at the request of Gen. Butler, he
accepted the Chaplaincy of Massachusetts,
regiment, and sailed for Ship Island last De-
cember. He said that he was agreeably dis
appointed in his situation, for he found four
fold more access to the officers and soldiers
than he had expected. Although he found
comparatively few professors of religion, yet
there were hosts of men to whom his heart
warmed, and to whom he endeavored to do all
the good in his power.
DIR. G. related some incidents in relation to
the profanity among the officers, and his at
temps to check it; of their arrival at Key
West and Ship Island. The latter, he SAID,
was not an unhealthy, though it was a dreary
place.
In 1921 hurricane swept over the island
burying the houses, which had been built for
summer resorts, with sand. On the island
where month before there was not soul
there were 14,000 persons while the Doctor
was there. He gave an interesting account of
the religious services, the funerals, the hospi-
tai labors, and the Chaplains' prayer meetings.
paying merited compliment to Rev. Mr.. Col
by, Chaplain Of the regiment of Col Shepley
The account of his experience at New Or
leans was interesting. He spoke in high tones
of Gems. Dow and Shepley, as well as Gen.
Butler. He stated that he had seen enough
with his own eyes, and heard enough with his
own ears, in New Orleans, to Justify the edict
of Gen. Butler against the female secessionists
in that city. Why the women are SO rabid,
said DIR. c., is, that they have been brought up
and prospered under the institution of slavery,
and if the North triumphs they fear the insti-
tuition falls.
The address of DR.. c. was near two hours
in length, and was listened to with great at
tention. We regret that our limited space
does not permit us TO give more full abstract
of It On the emancipation proclamation of
the President, Dr. c. said the ultimate effects
of it would be good, for God had brought it
about and under all circumstances, he. DIR. c..
approved Of it. If there is any foreign inter
vention now, it must be on a pro-slayery
ground.

Gen. SCOlfield to Assume the OF.
fensive.
Appearance of the Rebel Army.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Sept. 20.
A portion of the rebel army, under Hind
man and Rains, is now at CRANKY Mines, New
ton Co., near the State line.
Gen. Scolfield is preparing to march against
them, as his army is in excellent condition. and
composed OF the best troops in the State
There is every reason to believe that he will be
successful if they wait an attack. If they re-
treat they will be driven out of the State, and
the position probably occupied by our troops,
who will prevent another inroad.
The latest advices from the rebel army state
them to be most motley crowd OF warriors.
Some of them are well armed, but the most of
them have such weapons as could be gathered
through Arkansas. Their number is about
1900.
Gen. Scolfield, at his own request, has been
relieved from his district command, and now
commands the army Of Missouri in the field.

TERMS OF PEACE.-The New York Com
mercial Advertiser, one of the most conserya-
tive republican journals Of that city, discuss
ing the terms of future peace with the rebel
lious states, says:
We have said that peace must be conquer
ed. 1t may be so conquered either by physi-
cal overwhelming in the ield-the display and
use of large resources and more men-or by
the overcoming of the prejudice and passion
which inaugurated the war and which thus
far prevent any solution of our difficulties.
There is but one course open, and that is to
go on resolutely, and to prosecute this war
with an energy and All activity which assume
that it can only terminate by the utter annihi-
lation of the rebel army, and the destruction
of all its resources, In the progress of accom-
plishing this, we may prepare to receive prop
ositions of peace. 1t will hardly do to nego-
tiate with rebels in arms, and least of all while
they deem themselves the strongest.
