Who but mailman or fool can be-
lieye that the teeming millions of rapidly
growing States on the Ohio and Upper
Mississippi rivers will ever consent to
have the vast commerce and the mouth
of the Mississippi and the traffic of the
Gulf controlled by comparatively hand
Ful of people in Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama? And recollect tisat the
preponderance of population is increas-
ing yearly, in favor of the Upper States
of the Mississippi Valley in an astonish-
ing ratio. In a few years the difference
will be more than ten to one This coun-
try cannot be severed It's unity is a
geographical and physical necessity.

A Scene of the Battle at Per.
rysville.

The following graphic word-picture is
from a correspondent Of the Chicago
The rebel infantry were seen ad'anc-
ing. On they came with firm step, a
huge mss of them, enough to crush an
ordinary column of men. But jackson
was in front of his men, and cheered
them up to duty. Nobly and firmly
they stood and waited the assault. On
came the black mass of the enemy-a
force five times greater than that against
which they We're moving. Our batteries
played upon them earnestly, making
huge gaps in their ranks, but still they
moved forward, closing up the gaps as
they advanced. And then, when within
rifle range, our infantry opened on them;
vet still with steadiness they moved for
ward, mover waveriDg, never fal.ering.
Vol!ey after volley greeted them. and
rank after rank was thinned out. Yet
still they pressed forward. Suddenly q
terrible report! A thousand muskets
were discharged at once, and the fire of
death was ravaging our lines. Our new
regiments quailed, but were treasured
by their General, and once moro gave the
advancing foe an answering voiley.
Their bayonets were ieyelled, and with a
shout and an oath the two parties came
in collision. And then they swayed to
and fro; backward and then forward !;
wrestling, shooting, stabbing, clubbing
fighting the one with desperate effort
to dislodge, the other with n desperate
effort to hold their ground. Officers en-.
couraged their men, and the men shout
ed back with eagerness.
At first we were crowded back, rs if
BY the mere momentum of the attacking
party. And then rallying, our men
pressed upon their ASSISTANTS and drove
them back. Then, hand to hand, they
fought again for while, until, gathering
fresh strength and mastering oil their
weight for one mighty blow, the rebels
again crowded US back. Once more our
men were appealed to to stand firm and
resist the shock. Officers placed them
selves in front Of their commands, and
set the example of heroism.
In this struggle the brave Jackson fell;
and here, too, Col. Webster, Of Ohio,
fel at the head of his brigade; and here
host of brave men fell; and yet the
fight went on. Never had new troops
shown such valor as did the Ohio and
Indiana regiments that met this terrible
assault. But they could not withstand
the assault. They were literally pressed,
crowded back, by the weight of the MS
sault. 1t was like q man in dense
crowd, who is carried about whichever
way the crowd sways, having no power
to resist it.
And thus these men stood, opposing
all their strength to their assailants, and
yielding no ground that was not ALSO
lutely forced from them. They were
thus crowded back perhaps three hundred
yards, when darkness ended the contest,
and both parties laid down in their tracks
to rest. The enomy held the field, but
they had not beaten us. They had
crowded lis off it; that is all.
And thus, when night closed the en-
gagement, We held the field of battle on
the right and centre; the enemy held it
on the left.
