To Hon. GIpBON WELLEs Secretary oithe navy
We have possession of Clarksvile. The citizens
being alarmed, twO.thrds Of them have He'd, and
having expressed my views and intentions TO the
Mayor and Hon, Cave johnson, at his request |
have issued proclamation assuring all peace

the military stores aud cqup pinenls to be given

this shall be done without reservation.

hlage: blue coats, shoulder-straps and brass
buttons were prominent throughout, with
enough ladies to add interest to the scene.
1t was rather singular feeling to antici'
pate festivity, and through the day, you
could hear the inquiry Are you going to
The Theatre tonight p as though we We're
in some city where such amusements abound:
and as evening approached boots We're
BACKED, faces shaved, and the best uniform
donned; and all took such pains in making
themselves uneXceptionable. that one might
very naturally have supposed that the young
men were all going out to see the ladies'
The performances were excellent through
out, as the plaudits testified: barring the
appearance of the upright, rough pine log
walls, one might have flncied himself in
some well conducted city Theatre. All
acted their parts well, and gave general sat
islaction. The astonishment was, with such
limited opportunities how the actors sue
ceeded in getting up every thing in such
good style. The Fortress sent out its rep
resentatives, as did all the Regiments on
the field Such an affair was so uncommon,
1t attracted mnny who were desirous Of a
new sensation. We observed in the crowd
several distinguished gentlemen.
The entertainment was varied by some
fine singing, and concluded with the farce
of ''B. b. or the "Benicia Boy" which az
lorded all an opportunity to indulge in IL
laugh, which at all times is beneficial to the
soldier
The recent victories have made us all
jubilant here.
Yours, Bnin.

JOY AND MOURNING.

The warp and wOof of human life is indeed a
tangled and many -colored web. Amid the shouts
Of victory and the exultant rejoicings of the
nation, private griefs over-shadow many hearts,
and the people are called upon, while congratu-
laions for glorious victory yet linger on their
tongues, to miugle their sympathies with their
demonstrations Of joy, Even the glorious tri-
umphs of Roanoke and Fort DOnelson cast a
shadow Of sorrow behind them, and many thou
sands are plunged iuto mourning, and many
thousands more into intense anxiety for fathers.
sons. husbands, and brothers, who participated
in those brilliant conflicts. The vail of sorrow
is faintly heard among the deafening huzzas by
which nation manifests it's Joy, and the stricken
ones have only the alienation of knowing that
those they love are sacrifices in a holy cause.
But grief hos alse cast its shadow elsewhere than
on the hearihs of private citizens. 1t has in
vaded the home of our Chief Magistrate, whose
heart is torn by the conflicting emotions Of the
PairiotTuler and the father. He will never lie
able to contemplate the magnificent victories
which dispersed load OF public care from his
mind without recurring TO the dying form of
his 'little Willie" In the midst Of their ioy,
then, let the people stop to shed tear with tIe
president, who has so nobly earned their regard.
