Popping Corn

And there they sat a popping corn,
John Stiles and Susan Cutter:
John Stiles as stout as any OK,
And Susan as fat as butter.
And there they sat and shelled tho corn,
And raked and stirred the fire,
And talked Of different kinds of ears,
And hitched their chairs up higher.
Then Susan she the pepper shook.
Then John he shook the pepper,
Till their faces grew as red
As saucepans made of copper.
And then they shclled and popped and ate,
All kinds Of fun a-poking,
And lie haw-hawed at her remarks,
And she laughed at bis joking.
And still they popped and still they ate,
(John's mouth was like hopper,)
And stirred tho fire and sprinkled the salt
And shook and shook the pepper.
The clock struck nine, the clock struck ten
And still the corn kept popping;
1t struck eleven, and then struck twelve,
And still no signs of stopping.
And John he ate, and Sue she thought
And the corn did pop and patter,

Why, Susan, what 5 the matter? ?"
Said she, "John Stiles, it S one o'clock

TWENTY.FOURTH VOLUME
OF THE
MILWAUKEE SENTINEL.
Published Daily. Tri-weekly, Weekly.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1862.

The LIST of January will commence a new
volume of the SENTINEL. The past year has
been one of severe trial to newspapers; while
the demand for news has increased, the means
of support, or, at least, the sources of profit,
have been materially diminished. The pro-
prietors of the SENTINEL take pleasure in ac-
knowledeing that their efforts to keep pace
with events in these stirring times have not
BEEN unappnciated and the SENTINEL in its
continued endeavors to present its countless
readers with the earliest news and its un-
swerving advocacy of the Union and Consti-
tuition have been acknowledged and sustained
in a liberal manner.
In making preparations for the new volume,
we shall enlarge our facilities for obtaining
important war news. and continue, hereto
FORE to make the Daily. TriWeekly, and
Weekly epitomes Of the times.
The eagerness OF the public to obtain the
latest information from the seat of war. and
the anxiety of the many thousands, who have
relations and friends in the Union army, to
hear froB the different regiments, have Undue
ed us to- make arrangements tor ample cores
pondence from all the different points at
which troops from the west may be stationed.
The SENTINEL, heretofore. it is hardly
necessary to saw, viii be the firm supporter of
Republican principles. the fearles opponent
of loca! and national wrong, and the medium
of expression for the Mechanic, the Agricul-
turist, and the Merchant,

Just What the Battle
Amounts to.
WE SAVED a DEFEAT

CINcINNATI Ohio, April IL.
The Gazens Pittsburg correspondent
SAYS: TIE sum and substance of the bat
tie. is-On Sunday we were pushed
from disaster to disaster, till we lost every
division camp we had and were driven
within half mile of the landing, where
the approach of night, the timely aid of
the gunboats, the tremendous efforts, of
our artllcrists and Buelfs approach,
saved as. On Monday, after nine hours
bad fighting, we simply regained what
we had lost on Sunday. Not division
advanced half mile beyond our old
camn on Monday except Lew. WaIIace's
The lowest estimates place our loss IN
killed and wouaded at 5000 and the
prisoners from to 1000.
The rebel loss in killed and wounded
is probably thousand more.
The rebels in their retreat left acres
covered with their dead, whom they
carried to the rear. and destroyed the
heavy supply trains they had brought up.

THE NE RRlRAC OUT.
She picks up some small Vessels
and retreats.
Fort MONROE, April IL, 2 PM.

Fort MONROE, April III, P. M.
The return of pleasant weather to-day
brought the Merrimac, as was generally
anticipated. She had been seen five days
ago under steam at Crapey Island, and
as the evening of yesterday promised that
the storm had exhausted itself, few were
surprised this morning at the announce
ment that she was in sight, coming down.
The alarm gun was fired at so min
utes past o'clock, and as soon as the
appearance of the Merrimac was general
~ known, the ramparts, docks, and beach
of tue Fortress, and other points com
handing a view, were crowded with
spectators.
The Merrimac after showing herself
beyond Sowalrs Point, appeared to be
heading this way. She had not long
continued on this course, however, bnt
turned towards James river, followed by
six other gunboats which had come round
the point in her company.
OF the latter the jamestown and
Yorktown were recognized; the others
were supposed to be the Raleigh and
Treasurer.
Arriving at point midway between
Sewalrs Point and Newport News, the
point near the place where the French
war vessels Garrett and Catinet, and the
English steamer Rinaldo had placed
themselves early i'll the morning.
The whole feet came to a stop; while
the jamestown followed at some distance
the Yorktown aud small ting contin
ued on their course.
The intention Of the jaime stown was
not at first perceived. AS she came
around leaving Newport News on her
left, it was seen her object was to capture
two briggs anchored near the shore, about
two miles from the Point. This was
done without the slightest difficulty. and
the assistance of the small tug being rem
dered the three prizes were taken OF
under the rebel flag. The whole affair
was concluded in less than half an hour,
and the jamestown having rejoined the
fleet, vas ordered to tow the prizes to
Craney Island. Taking one brig in low
astern and one ON each side she moved
slowly.
Slightly alarmed Mt this bold dash,
quite a number of vessels in the upper
harbor availed themselves Of ~ favorable
wind and sailed.
Up to this time the rebel feet has re
NAMED in the position in which they first
placed themselves, and nothing more has
been done.
The tide is now out, and probably no
new movement WI. Ie made for some
hours. If the Merrimac shon!d then see
fit to pay us a visit, she will be appropl-
ately welcomed.
