A CAMBRIAN KILLED.-A battle was
fought at Paris, Tennessee, on the 18th
inst. between a battalion of Union troops,
assisted by portion Of the Curtis Iowa
cavalry regiment, and the Rebels, in which
the latter were routed with loss of one
hundred killed, wounded and prisoners.
Cur loss was five men killed and four
wounded So runs the substance of re-
cent telegram from Gen. Hal.eck to the
War Department.
Subsequent information has developed
.he fact that among the number of Fed
era troops who fell at this battle is Will
liam ". Ivory, formerly resident of this
county, but for number of years past of
Nebraska city. We have no definite par
ticulars concerning the manner of his
death, other than that he fell in the per-
formance of his duty. We extract the
following truthful obituary of Sergeant
Major (this being the position he held
in his regimenD Ivory from the col
umns of the New York Herald:
Sergeant Major VIM. W. Ivory, who fell On
tie 18th inst, at the battle of Paris, was a
PenlsylVanian by birth, and removed from
Philadelphia TO Nebraska City, Nebraska Ter
gtory, in 1858, where he became one of the
contracting surveyors of that Territory under
the late John Z. Calhoun, noted in the Kan
broils. Sergeant Ivory was appointed in
1851 Receiver of Public Moneys, United States
Land Office, at Dacotah, Nebraska Territory,
tv President Buchanan, which Office lie held
al the beginning of the formation of his regi-
:nent, in which he was appointed to the office
Of Sergeant Major, though being thought fully
capable OF holding commission, having seen
service in Mexico throughout that struggle.
Ii fine, spirited, chivalric, noble, i'm
pu!siTe man. His age was about twenty-nlne
years.
All honor to the memory of the gallant
spirit who laid down his life upon the al
tar Of his country's good
new NoDE OF COMPUTING INTEREST.
A new mode of computing interest at
SIX per cent. has been published, which
appears eminentiy simple. The formula
Is this; Multiply any given number of
dollars by the number of days of interest
required, separate the right hand figure,
and divide by six-the result will be the
true rate Of interest for such number Of
days at six per cent. This rule is so sim
pie and true that every banker, broker,
merchant and clerk should post it up for
reference and use There being no such
thing as a fraction in it, there is scarce
y any liability to error or mistake. By
no arithmetical process can the desired in
formation be detained with SO few figures.
