The northeast Corner Of 1Iis-i.sippi.

As there is frequent mention of Eastport in
the notices of military and naval operations on
the Tennessee river, a brief description of the
place, from the recollections of a single visit
eleven years ago. may not be amiss.
The boundary line between Mississippi and
Alabama, strikes the Tennessee river at the
mouth of Bear creek, about eighteen miles by
the course of the river from the Tennessee State
line, through which distance the left bank of
the river belongs to Mississippi, the right to Ala
bama. Bear creek is a bold and beautiful
stream, well deserving the name of river, having
its sources in the counties of Franklin and
Marion in this State. Chickasaw is a small
town on the Alabama side at its mouth. East
port, is on the MissisSippiside a few miles below.
The country in the corner of Mississippi Dor
deTing on Tennessee river and Bear creek, be-
comes very broken as one approaches those
streams, terminating in a range of gravelly hills,
either close to the water or separated from it by
a swampy bottom. The latter is the case at
Passport. The town is a mail one, the houses
being stuck about in hooks aud corners along
the street, which zigzsgs down these hills at
such a rate that it would not be difficult in many
cases 10 toss a pebble from the window of one
house into the chimney of the one below it. At
the foot of the bluff there is a straight stretch of
the street, 1--WE do not r~ecOlect but one street,
though there may be more for a short distance,
occupied by several stores but one cannot 90
far without finding himself in a dark, muddy
bottom. Through this a miry wagon track led
some half a mile or less to the river, which ap-
peared to be about a quarter of a mile wide, and
was bounded by a high wooded bluff on the
Alabama side. The only object near the river
shore was a warehouse, with the marks of the
last food half way up the second story window.
Just below the bluff was a mill of some kind,
with an Overshot wheel forty or fifty feet in d.
ameter, we forget which.
1t would not be difficult for the enemy to make
a landing at Eastport, provided they were not
molested from the other side, but after landing
they would not be able to effect anything if the
bluff was held bya few troops of the right kind.
1t would be easier to scale a pr cipice than to
climb over those piles of loose gravel in the
face of any opposition. A stream called Yellow
creek enters the Tennessee a short distance be-
EastpOrt. Our impression is that it is a
sluggish, muddy stream. There is a pretty field
for strategy in the region between Bear creek.
Tennessee river, and the two intersecting rail
roads, and the streams Of that region may yet
become as interesting in military history as the
Rhine, the Sander, and the Mouse.

It may be that our brave men will have to retreat

moment they arrived, and push on with them to

Two of the cars became disabled on the way,
and were left at Social Circle. The engine was
about TO take the nine cars of arms, etc, and
proceed In haste, when an officer Of the army
stepped up and ordered that none Of them should
be sent unless all Of them were sent at the same

The Boston journals are discussing with a

seems, having arrived here by a recent steamer.
He has, of late, identified himself with secession
intrigues in London, and with secession agents
of the most disreputable sort-SUch, for instance,
as Mr.. Hiram Fuller, formerly of this city.
Very probably Mackay is now here as an agent
of JEFF. Davis, the fact that he is a fool not rem

THE Waffle affair at Newbern, North
Carolina, throws some light upon the defensive
policy. That policy requires a greater force
than the aggressive policy would. We have had
nearly twice as many men watching Burnside
as he has; and yet, he having the choice OF the
point of attack, finds us inferior in numbers,
Notwithstanding our real superiority. We are dis
persed, and he concentrated.
1t also proves another matter, that without
some change in our plans, the destruction or
capture of all our cities within reach of gun
boats, is only a question of time. The Monitor
was constructed in ninety days and, in ninety
days more, there will be probably fifty others
built The loss of these cities will not conquer
the country. but it will be a serious calamity;
and it suggests to us that we should be looking
to retaliation. This war will degenerate into one
for the destruction Of property. Northern wealth
and strength are in northern cities, and there are
the points to strike.-Richm0Hd Wing.
