city Of tents on Bedloe's Island is becoming ran
idly peopled by our sick and wounded braves.
About 400 are supposed to be there already, and
the numberis increasing by almost daily acces-
sions. They are not forgotten by the liberal
citizens Of New York and its vicinity. The La
dies Association Of ths Park Barracks, and the
New England Soldiers Relief Association are
constantly giving generous proofs of their sym
patty with the seidiess.. The amount of these
contributions wii Eastonish the public, when in
due time they shall be made known. For in

ACCORDING to onr own sides account of the
encounter Of the rebel ram Arkansas with our
fleet above Vicksburg, it will be seen that the
damage on our side was much less than the reb-
ell reports would lead usto believe. The princi-
pal damage done was on board the Carondelet,
which was engaged in a single-handed fight with
the monster for about an hour and halt, during
which time she had seven men killed and nine
wounded. The entire National loss is twelve
Killed and fifteen wounded. The rebel ram was
badly damaged in the encounter, though she
succeeded in escaping under the Vieksburg bat
-teries. None Of our boats were sunk, as alleged
BY the rebels. '''., u sf,a 800 IA

CALIFORNIA WAR DRBT.-The California
Indian War debt matters have all been defn-
itely adjusted and settled by the I'd Auditor.
The total amount claimed by the State was
$448,000. The total awards amount to about
229, ,000-the claims being settled upon the
same basis as was applied in the Orgon War
Debt case. OF the whole amount awarded, the
State of California gets $4,000 for the claims
amounting to about $4,000 which she has all
ready assumed and paid. OF course the State
loses the difference between those two sums.
The balance of the claimants, who received
bonds from the State to be paid whenever the
General Government should pay the State, will
only get their pro rata of what is paid to the
State on account Of their claims. The whole
fund, however, goes through the hands Of the
State Government.

We have Country and Flag,

1t is Freedoms Starry Banner,
Our Banner in the sky:
When Our Nation first was born
It proudly waved upon
The battle ground Of Lexington,
And then went marching on.
CHORUS.
Glory, Glory Hallelujah,
Glory, Glory Hallelu!ah,
Glory, Glory Hallelujah,
Our Flag goes marching on.
When Britain sent her grenadiers
Our Fathers blood to spill,
1t hoated Ger the grassy slope
or Glorious Bunker Hill;
At Trenton and at BraAdywine,
And bloody Germantown,
Amid the dust and flames and smoke,
Our Flag went marching on.
At Fort McHenrys carnival,
1t proudly foated there,
II waved in conflict through the night,
And kissed the morning air;
And when on Saratoga's plains,
st. Georges Cross went dow,
The Yankee Stars and Yankee Stripes,
Went up and marching on.
Swear Freemen by youg Mothers graves,
And by your glorious sires;
Swear by your Country and your fame,
And by your household fires;
By Ellsworth's, Lyons, Bakers blood,
Be the battles lost or won,
Come veal or woe, come life or death,
Our flag shall still march on.

OF the most extraordinary proofs OF the force
of an idea, that the Northern people have not
long ere this insisted on the slaves being en-
listed in their cause. They have been told so
long that the realm Of slavery is sacred soil,
not to be profaned by Northern foot that they
can not rid themselves of the idea even when
they are at deadly war with those who incul-
Gated it. The North could enroll one hundred
thousand colored men to work and fight for

The Soldiers Trust.

In the present war, the rebels made an at
tack upol one of our regiments doing pickle
duty on the Maryland side Of the Potomac
There we're three houses standing upon the
Virginia shores which afforded shelter to the
enemy, and it became necessary to have them
removed. The colonel tried the effect oil
Smelling them but owing to the short range
Of his guns, and the great distance, could not
demolish them. The only thing accomplish.
ed by this was driving the enemy out of them
to the shelter of the woods beyond.
The colonel then asked for volunteers to
cross the river and burn the buildings. Only
two men came forward, one private, the
other an orderly sergeant, The colonel gave
the command to the sergeant, and told him
to select as many men as be needed and 60.
Selecting three men from his own company,
to manage the boat and assist him, the brave
fellows departed on their perilous mission.
Ere they reached the middle of the stream,
they we're greeted with a shower of bullets ;
volley followed volIey, each passing over
their heads without touching man. As
they nealed the shore, the house Immediately
in front of them, which was large brick
one, offered them shelter for landing and it
was not many minutes after, ere the smoke
issuing from the roof showed their work was
accomplished there. The next house was
seon in flames also ; but the third house
stood some distance from the river TO get
to it, they must cross plowed field directly
under the fire of the musketry. Here, as in
crossing the river, they were made the target
for the enemy's bullets. Strange to say, this
forlorn hope returned uninjured, and were
received by enthusiastic cheers from brave
comrades.
The young sergeant upon being compli-
mented upon his courage, and interrogated
as to the source Of it, replied, 1T is not me
give God the glory. When l started, | com.
mitted my beloved wife and child to his
tatherly care, should ] never return. |
breathed prayer for myself and the little
band with me. l went further entreated
that We might all return in safety and as |
stepped from the boat, these words of the
nlnety'hrst Psal m came torcibly to mind
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten
thousand at thy right hand but it shall not
come nigh thee Only with thine eyes shalt
thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the Lord, which is
my refuge, even the Most High, thy habit
alton There shall no evil beial thee, neither
shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. |
received 1t as an answer to my prayer and
though we could hear the bullets whizzing bv,
almost touching us, felt no more fear Of
them thanif they had been hailstones. Pre-.
