your journal emboldens me to venture
a criticism upon the late reverses at
Fort Henry and Roanoke Island, which
may be grating to ears polite, but is
rendered necessary by the condition, of
the country. 1t is high time that these
surrenders should cease, for, consider
ering the character of the war in its
consequences to us, they have been

At Fort Henry a Brigadier.G General,
nnwounded, having garrison almost
intact, lowers his flag over dozen
guns of the largest caliber, and with
hackneyed compliment, yields up his
bloodless sword. How withering and
hamiliating to our Southern manhood
was the scornfnl reply of the Yankee
Commodore. That the General should
have neglected to make preparation for
preventing the enemy from ascending
the river and burning the railroad
bridge, may be passed over, because
no commission can make man com.

The Forged will.

A few years since, man of higl
respectability was tried in England OF
a charge of forginga will, in which il
was discovered that he had an indirect
interest to large amount. Mr.. War
rem was the associate Prosecuting at
torney, and the case was tried before
Lord Denman.
The prisoner being arraigned, and
the formalities gone through with, the
prosecutor, placing his thumb over the
seal, held up thewill, and demanded Of
the prisoner if he had seen the testator
sign that instrument, to which he
promptly answered he had.

"With what?'' r-r-.- s~Y
"With match.

match?"
81 got it off the mantel shelf in the
room"
"Here Warren paused.
Fixing his large, deep blue eyes up
on the prisoner, he held the will up a.
bove his head, his thumb still resting
upon the seal, and said in solemn and
measured tone: s-s
