The mail boat from Harrison 5 Landing ar-

this afternoon, and brings the following inlor-
uation:--Lasr night, between twelve and one
o'clock, tine RcLcls opened fire on the Centre
OF Gen. McClellan's army, which continued
for abuit All hour and half, from four Rebel
batteries OF flying artillery, opposite the Land

she'll of six ard twelve pounds, round and

The firing was intended, no doubt, for our
camps, but many oi the shot fell short. and
thry did but little mischief to the shipping

who think it only fun, but it is dear fin
to the person subject to their taunts.-
| Such condition is truly deplorable. =
! Who knows but that this man, at one
! time, TODD high in society? His fam.
Iily did not want for anything; plenty
sat smiling at his door. Look at him
now, he has brought himself to Level
with the brute; those who once loved
and respected him, pass by only to look
upon him with scorn and contempt, in
Estead Of doing as they ought by driving
,aRay these boys, going to him, picking
thim up, taking him to place of secu-
lrity, aad there keeping him until he is
sober, and then and there, privately
talk to him on the subject Of temper
ance; try and point out to him the i'm
portance of becoming a sober, honest
man, and the advantage gained thereby
Do this in kind, though urging man
ner; use no abusive language, and, in
nine cases out of ten, it will, in slight
degree: at the least, effect change in
the man thus addressed.
Young man, middle aged man, old
man, look to your interest; be not slow
in working against this, the most blight
! ing of all evils. Your children, your
brothers, your friends, all are in danger
of becoming subjects of king Alco-
hol, who, as persons under his control
have said, is hard master to work for.
Young men beware! Take heedl--
Look to your own interest and be up
and doing. You may think, Oh! I'll
never become drunkard; I never drink
enough to hurt me; it is no use for me
to unite with any temperance society
say again, beware! Be on your guard
For, at time when you least expect it,
King Alcohol places his fetters upon
you. They are stronger, yea, they Sc
cure with more certainty than those
made of iron or steel; and you are, more
than likely, doomed to die an inebriate,
and fill drunkard's grave.
Such being the case, let all lovers of
temperance begin at once and work
with all the zeal and energy at their
command to put stop to the drinking
saloons now in our midst.
Before I stop let me en'treat persons
who are better qualified, and more apt

subject, and in this way place their
views before the public.

! MONTEREY, Tenn, May 18TH, b2.
| Dear Parents:-I suppose you have
heard of my misfortune. l take the
earliest possible opportunity to inform
you Of my whereabouts, aud viii try to
give you short history of my imprison :
ment while with the rebels. I was
taken prisoner the 1st day Of May; it
was a beautiful morning, and every
thing quiet-in camp; learned that there
was foraging party going out in the
country, and our Company teamster L.
johnson, requested myself and his
brother Philip to go with them, which
We willingly consented to do. We left
| at z O'Clock in the morning, II in num-
Der and 5 wagons, under command of
II. w. Battin, Foragemaster; we had to
go miles. We enjoyed ourselves very
well going out, but coming back was
not so pleasant as you will soon SEE
| We had to pass through piece Of woods,
and could not see far in advance of US.
Our wagons were heavily loaded, and the
roads bad Two of the teams had fell
lin the rear some distance. At the edge
I of the woods we were charged on by a
company of Cavalry; the first word I
heard them say was, lay down your arms,
ysu God id sons of BIS! As there
we're only six of US with the three first
wagons, we soon saw that to attempt to
escape was certain death, for there were
IA dozen shot-guns and pistols pointed
at our heads, SO we layed down our
imuskets; then part of the rebels rode on
and captured the rest of our little party
land took us to camp, which was alive
with rebels; the soldiers and citizens
were busy carrying off and burning our
tents, knapsacks and other camp equip
age.
Our Regiment lad been forced to
leave at six o'clock P. NJ, under
ssrong guard of Cavalry. We left
Athens, for "Dizie.' We walked
through mud and water, sometimes
knee deep; at ? o'clock halted. We
fond Capt. Stcedman and eight more
tof our Regiment, who had been taken
at the fight at A. NJ. Was ordered
forward again, walked miles, crossed
Elk River, and stopped at farm house
for breakfast; got little piece of, corn
bread and meat, the first We had eaten
since we were taken prisoner; the rebels
had taken the guns that belonged to the
sick that were in hospital, and a few
boxes of cartridges, and some of the
mos valuable articles were put in a
wagon and sent with US; but bad luck
to them; as they were crossing the river,
by sDme means, the wagon run over
boara, losing the wagon, contents and
three horses. We crossed the Tennes-
see at Campbell's Ferry, walked to Cort-
land; there we were put in a small brick
housi, and fed Oh corn bread and meat,
aud not half enough of that; some Of the

THE TWO FURRoWs.

The spring-time came--But not with mirth--
The banner of our trust,
And with it the best hopes CT earth,
We're trailing in the dust.
The farmer saw the shame from far,
And stopped his plow afeld;
Not the blade of peace, but the brand Of war
This arm of mine must WELD.
When traitor hands that flag would stain,
Their homes let women keep;
Until its stars burn bright again,
Let others sow and reap.
The farmer sighed--s:A lifetime long
The plow has been my trust;
In truth II were an arrant wrong
To leave it now to rust"
With ready strength the farmer tore
| The iron from the wood.
And to the village smith he bore
That plow-share stout and good.
The blacksmiths arms were bare and brown,
! And loud the bellows roared;
The farmer flung his plow-share down
"Now forge me out a sword"
And then merry, merry chime
| The sounding anvil rung,
Good sooth, it was nobler rhyme
Than ever poet sung.
The blacksmith wrought with skill that day,
The blade was keen and bright,
And now where thickest is the fray
The farmer leads the fight
Not as of old that blade he sways
To break the meadows Sleep
But through the rebel ranks he lays
A farrow broad and deep.
The farmers face is burned and brown,
But light is on his brow;
Right well he wots what blessings crown
The furrow of the plow
"But better is to-day's success"
Thus ran the farmers word
'For nations yet unborn shall bless
This furrow of the Sword"

INTEMPERANCE.
What blighting effect intemperance

What blighting effect intemperance
has upon those subject to its evils.
Persons, whey they first become in
temperate, think, to themselves, that
they will not let it get any hold on them;
but it is like a snake in the grass; it
comes upon you unawares, and, before
you have one faint idea that such is the
case, you are ,entwined in its coils, and
it has complete power over you.
Look at the man who is under the in
fuence of intoxicating drinks, reeling
about from one side of the street to the
other; is he not pitiable sight? As a
general thing his clothes are ragged,
and more than likely arc one complete

lowing anecdote from Shiloh form the
secret history of the rebellion:
Among the wounded rebels was .

asked for water, and was supplied. lie
then said:
