Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1862-08-30

General Turchin had a reception in Chicago
on Tuesday. He made q speech, reported in the
Tribune as follows:
FELLOW-CITIZENs OF CHICAGO: When I
lefl this city with my regiment, never expected
I 10 receive such a reception as this l have
simply done my duty; that's al I have done.
Enthusiastic applause. / dill my duty as a
soldier, and trust as an American citizen, also.
CAPplau.e ] Al hOugh I am not versed in poll
| TICS, made up my mind that the cause Of re-
| beliOn was slavery, and I acted upon the Drin-
| ciple thatthe cause should be removed TLOUg
continued applause. At the same time l knew
also THAI those men who were ing upon the
power of slavery must not be handled with soft
gloves, bat little roughly, and l handled them
a little roughly. Applause. 1 don't know
whether to call it happy or All unhsppy result
| that my superior officer did not approve Of IT,,
and thought differently. He q ought that l
/ must be cOuTt-nsrtialed and dismissed from the
/ service. CGroaus and Kisses for Don Carlos
Buell., anu cries, " You shall 60 back, general "
Ny wife informs me that she has q commission,
making me d bTigadieT general, in Eer pocket
but haven't got it, and haven't seen it 1Ap-
plause, and three cheers for Madame Turchin 7
As much as l rejoice to see this kind and /
may say great reception It would be more pess-
ing for me to have my poor boys of the 18Th,
with me, now strung along that railroad Cries,
Shame, shame 5" They are punished for me-
aud as you sympathise with me l want you to
spmpathise with them. There are FIVE regiments
at Huntsville, the lst Wisconsin at Morris,
another at Athens, another at Pulaski and
several at Columbia, all upon or contiguous to
this line Of railroad. 1t would seem as if there
might be sent each Of three, one or two COM
panies to guard this road. They will never feel
it But no Our boys are posted in squads Of
fifteen or twenty for eighty miles. 1t is low
minded, it is contemplate, 1 cann0t but feel the
greatest contempt for a man who, at the head Of
q powerful army, will behave thus toward
soldiers. 1 do not care for myself, but it is
shame to punish my men.
l have studied secession and secessionists in
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama,
and | tell yOu it is no use to fight against them
unless we use every means in our power. They
are too powerful to be fought otherwise.
Who are these guerTiIas They are citizens
who pretend to be peaceful, but who are plotting
treason all the time. They are all the time
looking out for struggling Yankee. As soon
as ne finds one, be gets two neighbOTs, they take
their shot guns, go out and catch him. They
look out for pickets and shoot them. You know
how they murdered General AcCook That is
what l call a war Of exteTminztiOn. We must
DO the same, and until we use all men, slaves
included. we cannot put them down. Ap-
plauss
WhaE 1 have done is not much but what
could do, were l allowed, might amount to
something. My friends, must close. We have
been talking about the Union and hurrahipe for
the Union great while. Let Us now talk and
hurrah Tor conquest. Applause

Opening Of abe New York Reservo1r.

Fsom the New YORK Herald, 2lthI
The Central Park is one Of ths great sttrac-
tions of the city, and the new .eseTvOr IS one Of
The most useful and beautiful features Of this
park. Il seldom occurs to the grest mass Of the
citizens of New York how intimately dependent
for its present prosperity and consequent maz zni-
tude and importance this grest metropolis is
upon q proper supply Of good water. The C-0-
ton water IS good water, and the supply from
the river never fails. But !. has happened that
the city has been without its croton for day or
50, or just long enough TO prove how indispens-
able it is to the city Of New York.
The old reservoir could only contain a supply
efficient for three or four days for this CITY so
that, if by any accident, the supply 70 Il city
from the river was cut Of, we could only have
enough to last Us a few days, after which we
would be in g condition which cannot well be
imagined for the want Of this greatest necessary
Of life and prime instrument Of CLEANLINESS
The new Croton reservoir has q capacity for
containing ,029 100000 gallons OF wafer, or
enough to supply the city. if the supply from
The river should be cut e. for about thirty days.
With such an immense supply Of water in
reserve, it viii be utterly impossible that the city
can ever be IN want Of water, even for q day.
in the future. This immense reservoir, which
has so often been described, has water surface
oil 96 acres, and contains DO less than IO6 scres-
has been in course of construction since April,
1858 Il is the most stupendous work OF ins
kiGd in the world. These few fsc-s viii give sn
idea Of what the immsnsity of tbs .rs 6ciai lake
IS to those who have never seen is or read q
description Of it.
The announcement that the water was 70 Be
let into the reservoir yesterday afternoon drew
together an immense throng of the populace-
Steadily they came in droves from every part
OF the city, and stTeamed toward the reser-
vOir from every entrance to the Central Park
About three o'clock, from 10 coo to II, 600 people
mad assembled to witness the ceremony Of intro
dUcing the CTotOn 70 its future depository. 4
little after three the infusnt gates were opened
and the water rolled snd hesped into the reser-
voir as though il was delighted with its new
ab de. The water had g fall, from the gates to
the bottom Of the reservoir, of about twenty
feet, IN tea heavy streams. Many persons eI-
pected to see the reservoir filed soOn, but to
their astonishment, the bottom Of the basin was
not even dampsd. As another evidence of the
magnitude Of the reservoir, we may state that is
will take these ten streams three months pour
ing the surplus water Of the Croton river infO
the reservoir before it can be filed. OF course
there must be considerable allowance made for
evaporation.

RSFrom current talk, and some personal OBJ
servation, we are led to believe that a new mos
quitoe has been invented recently in these parts
Whether he has been patented or not we are un-
able to say, neither have we seen any of the
drawings or specifications upon which the claim
for patent, or even the entering of a caUeat
could be based.
What is claimed as original in this mosquitoe
is the power he has of screwing his bill into the
person operated upon, 50 that if the victim
wishes to remove him, he must unscTeW him,
otherwise the sting will be left in, to the great
irritation of the cuticle. He has also the pecu
larity attributed to that Mexican bird known as
the Rhumtyephoozle, who sticks his bill in the
ground and whistles through his spurs. This
mosquito, while screwing in his bill, and after it
is screwed in, sings Yankee Doodle, and other
anti-Confederste airs through his hind legs. So
we have been informed and most potently be-
lieve. If on the other hand he were operating
on Federal prisoner, no doubt the victim Would
fancy himself listening to Dixie and other re bel
melodies. He gives two to ten turns to the
screw, according to size, age and wickedness.-
