WnAT THEY SAY ~ THE ARMY.-A correspon-
dent OF the Evansville Journal, writing from
Harrson's Landing, on James river, says
81 am satisfied that if the two armies could
meet and have conference together, without the
intervention of aspirants for political or civil
honors. that they would settle the matter at once
and correctly. and that too without the loss OF "A
single life more
1.-The great majority of those who in the
Union army are fighting To restore the Govern
ment to It's original purity, but il is to be regret
ted that there are many who are looking either to
political or military prcferment. Such men care
but little for the country. but great deal for self
and such men should at once be dismissed from
the service and sent home in disgrace
There is another feature among the officers Of
our army which is costing the country thousands
OF valuable lives and that is ncompetency |
know Generals, Colonels and Majors by the
score, who can not shoulder arms to-day. and |
do not know OF but one Colonel who does not
desire to be made Brigader General, at least.
Those of our army who have recently joined
Mcclellan. are thanking their stars that they are
out from under pretenders and Adventures and
that they en- now boast that they have Gen
eral at their head"

formed, but we've inglorously put Ia fight, leav-
ing behind all their tents, camp equipage and
commissary stores which our troops gathered to

The rebels bad two horses killed, six men
wounded and two taken prisoners. Our loss was
one horse killed
After securing the country short distance fur

There is no further evidence OF reDel gunboats

Information goes to show that the new Merii-
mac will not be ready 10 operate for three weeks
yet
Two of the gunboats were Yesterday enga ged
in shelling the opposite shore above City Point.
The health of the troops is improving ever
since they began To receive fresh vegetables,
which were ordered to be issued TO them by Gen.
Mcclellan.

+, 4 H.-These letters, so often seen on pack
ages. form the trade mark of one OF the largest
grocery houses in the West. Ii is the boast of
sister city Of Lafay ette. that they have more
capital invested in the wholesale grocery bust
ness, and buy in larger lots. and sell more than
any other city in Indiana, our own not excepted
IL is certain their trade is large. for large stocks

The firm of Earl 4 Hatcher, known TO shippers

large Wholesale houses that give character to the
city of Lafayette. They buy from first hands,
and in large quantities. aud in their warehouse

and varied stock to choose from They bring
into their business ample capital and first class
business capacity to conduct it, They know the
wants of the trade, from long experience and
st.,ct attention. and they know how to supply
these wants at the lowest figures. This is the
great secret Of their success-a success that has
reelected honor on their city, well as benefit
upon the large circle of trade they supply. We
know of no place, either in Louisville or Cincn-

found than in the warehouse of Earl Hatcher.

EXPLOSION or THE STEAMER COMMODORE PER-
RY.-The steamer Com. Perry. which arrived at
this port on Saturday. collapsed hue near the
foot OF Fifth street Saturday evening, by
which accident the boat WAS fired and burned to
the waters edge. As may be imagined. the ex-
plosIon caused great CONSERVATION on board, and
il was feared that considerable loss of life would
ensue. There were but few passengers on board
however. and but single casualty occurred.
Robert White. citizen of Pittsburg. who had
shipped fireman ut Cincinnati, received such
injuries that he died yesterday at the Chestnut
street hospital. A number of the passengers
jumped overheard, but they all reached the shore
by their own exertions or were rescued by those
who had congregated upon the landing. In this
manner Mr. Henry kremer, aided by DR. Karr,
succeeded in saving lady and her child. who
had thrown themselves into the water from the
guards of the boat.-Louisriie Journal.

20 The silly document placed on fiIe by the
Grand Jury OF the District Court has caused more
fun than alarm the streets. IL does not in
any respect rise to the dignity of State paper,
and the twaddle il contains will appear supreme
ly ridiculous when the idle fears OF the old women
who got il up is disspated. There Is one argu.
ment, b~weyer, that might have been used to
impress the belief that there was secret politi
cal society wide spread both North and South
that We wonder the Jury did not use. II is
known that the rebel commanders have lately
been very particular TO impress upon their men
TO fire low" They knew that their men were
in the habit Of shooting over the heads of our
boys-members, of course, of the secret order
therefore IRE low" We are told that rebel
officer, mortality wounded at the battle of Seven
Pines, was brought into our lines delirious aud
died with the words "fre low" lingering on his
lips. Is not this quite conclusive as any ar
gument used in the paper fledg
