Anniversary of the Death of Napoleon.

The anniversary of the death of the Empe-
ror Napoleon was observed, in accordance with
an established custom, on the 9th inst, by the
surviving soldiers of Inc republic and the first
empire who attended religious service at the
Chapel of the Invalids, and then forming in
procession, marched to and around the Column
Vendpme, on the railing of which they hung
new wreaths of insnaortetLes. There were about
one hundred of the Old Guard, which is year
ly diminished by death, and their eyes glis-
tened with new enthusiasm as they marched
about the column surmounted by statue of
their dead leader. Each wore the dress of the
corps TO which he belonged, causing an odd
appearance.

the Rebels will gain more sympathy from our
mssterly inactivity. They are allowed to with
draw an army Of 10000 men with all the can

what they destroyed, and all they left undisturb-
ed would not give $500 fo', and all this was told
us by the deserters that came into our lines, for
a week before they evacuated. It lie a deep stain
upon the military reputation Of our General COM
manding this army of the Tennessee. Itcannot
be denyed that Gen. Beauregard, however des-
titute is the name, as being engaged in bad
ause, has outwitted our Generals now in sever
al instances, and dealt us blow at Shiloe, the
effects Of which we can not recover from for
years. That was a bold stroke and severe
one. Before that our army had no fear of an
attack, but rested there for weeks idle, the sol
ders even suffering for something to do, but no
preparations were made to defend ourselves
against an attack. But after that our precau.
tion was the means of the rebels making their
escape unmolested from Corinth.

way that this war is carried on and think often,
that this Government will never again, be as
strong as 1t has been. The rebels are so deter
mined. They talk in tone that makes one
think that they can never be subdued l be-
lieve that these Southern states will prove to us
a second Mexico, after the war is over if it ever
will get over. The prospect is rather gloomy al
present, and tremble for our army at Rich.

hope Mcclellan will have whipped them out ere

What this army will do during this summer
is not yet known. But the surmises are, that i
will be moved somewhere to some close point tC
the Mississippi River, where they can obtain sup
plies handy and guard this Rail Road which il

this summers campaign is going to be tedious
one, and very monotonous, being the same thirt
day after day, week after week, and months il

vsnced, and it will only be three months or 81
until we can follow the rebels again. Our arm!

EpIroR JoNRNAL - SIR - Having seen piece
in your paper OF the 18th ult., headed, "What's
the Name" written by subscriber from East To-
ledo who took it ppen himself to describe little
town on the Cleveland and Toledo railroad in Lake
Township, Wood county, He says it consists Of
- one steam saw-mill, one grocery, one dry goods
store, two frame and five log houses" The fact
houses. lie next gives an account Of a liquor case
which mlMt have been dream, for have not
heard of such a case. In conclusion he gives a
description OF several hard cases who attended
church for fun 70 which | would say nis as
false as his general description of the town. it IS
ridiculous, and would recommend him in future
when he undertakes to give description Of tows
and people 10 be little more accurate in stating
facts ana 6gaFvs, aud think il right TO state that
the inhabitants of this town and vicinity, while IN
1 church, conduct themselves most creditable.

In CAMP NEAR CHENALLA Tenn,

JUNE 6th, 1862.
DEAR WIFE: - came to this camp yesterday
afternoon. The distance from our old camp here
is about IL miles. The country from there here
is of the same old stamp as all through that
part of the state through which our army has
passed. The landscape scenery is very beauti-
ful and pleasing to the eye, and wherever there
il any industry displayed, you can see it very sp-
parent wish we could put Northern industry,
energy and capital into this country, and withal
Northern institutions, and we would create
change here, miraculous to those who have been
used to this mode of doing things in the slow
ploding way of this people, they are lazy, they
lack energy, above all they lack information -.
There is nothing to keep this country from be-
ing one of the wealthiest States in the Union.
They have climate adapted to the production
Of all the different grains, vegetables cotton and
one OF the finest fruit countries in the world
The soil in this part of the state is a great deal
better than about Pittsburg and from there to
Corinth, the timber in forest is very nearly the
same as in our county in Ohio. notice sugar,
maple, beach, poplar and some very large trees
of the latter kind l can not see what should
prevent this country from becoming one of the
finest in the Union they have net work OF
Rail Roads running through this part of the
state having one of its termiuAtions on the Mis-
sssippi River and the other into the Gulf Of
Mexico. l can account for this only in this
way, that the interests of the peculiar institution
has cost this sacrifice of the grand interests oi
the state. Because in our Northern States ID,
is hardly territory thrown open to the .,'
until the country has been flooded with
and settlers from all parts of the - 81 G.,

force we're across the river, and in no, pursuit OF
the enemy, who we're making their way towards
Gordotsville as fast as possible. After resting
little, We started back toward Lrray. Some OF
the boys who bid in the mountains when they
we're routed, and returned the next day, say that
Fremont sbelled the rebel camp that same night
at II o'clock and drove them from their position.
The next day il rained all day, during which we
marched about miles. We reached this place
Yesterday at 5 P. N. Prisoners are continually
being brought in. Fifty came in this morning
They say that the mountains nre full Of men
who have deserted Jackson, and are ready to
give themselves up, providing they could go to
their own homes. They are tired Of the war.
Our many friends in Ohio will undoubtedly feel
hard towards the boys here, for not writing Of
ought to be the worn cut soldier, for he can
scarcely endure the fatigue of cooking and erect
ing tents for the night, after hard days march
besides, many Of the boys have neither paper,
pens pencil nor ink, and l am satisfied, that
we're our friends at home obliged to occupy the
position now 40, IeW letters WOuiu come EOh
home. The boys of Co. II, are as well as can be
expected under present circumstances. The In
dependent states that it is the report that Gary
Lindsay was taken prisoner and James Hayes
shot. This is not the case, they are both with
us aud well. Our boys are rather hard looking
but few having shaved since leaving home, and
from the effects of wearing caps, we have be
come tolerably niggerfed.
Friend Evers returned yesterday, bringing u'
several letters, papers and likenesses from ouI
happy homes. He brings the pictures of my
whole family, which makes me feel almost a
home. Unwearied we strive on for victory Of
the grave, one of which we must obtain before
we yield.
| There are some, as q matter Of course, wht
would willingly take discharge and leave th'
field untaken, but the most of us feel, that eve
separated from all the ties OF home. We will
now contend in faith, till we have the pride anC
honor of returning home, the victors over forc'
which most fearfully threatened the destruction
of our happy land. Our suffering and trials ar'
great; but noble government must be main
tanned for our children's benefit, though we fal
in the contest. Yours respectfully,
j. JEFF. PARSONS.

Taken nv SurnriSe.

ouR old friend George Powers presented us last
week with basket of strawberries, and large
nBd beautiful bouquet. Although taken by sur

delicious fruit, In this we were joined by bet

Powers IS well qualified a good judge, and those
wishing 10 buy either vines, shrubbery, or trees,
will find the best quality At his farm. 1t is seldom
that printers have anything good to eat hence we
beg leave to assure our friend that his present was
duly appreciated. May others come and do like
