CAIRO, ILL, Jan. II, 1862
The great public, which at one time and
another has been 50 wont to complain of the
lack Of any sort Of strategelic movements on
the part OF our generals, can now turn their
eyes toWare Cairo and behold. Not that they
can see anything, let their vision be sharp as
1t may but as strategy does not necessarily
include the performance OF anything in broad
daylight, this need hardly be expected. Ii,
therefore, the readers OF the Democrat desire
to know what all this stir in Cairo means, |
shall respond, strategy! Ifany one in St. Lou
is desire further particulars in regard to
chose twenty-five thousand troUps' let
the mysterious answer be, strategy. II any
curious mortal still further insists ON knowing
the cause of the late flaming kilograms trom

by invenling them, will state that they didn't
invent them, and-tor further particulars see

AT all events, at present writing this seems
to be the most liberal conclusion we can put
upon the recent transactions in this vicinity.
The representatives OF the press, under assur
ance that grand movement of some sort was
in progress, and that they were thus aiding the
military authorities in binding the enemy as
to the real objects Of it, allowed various tele.

FRIDAY, Jan. 17.-In the senate, after order
ing the committee on prisons to visit the
house of correction at Ipswich, and adopting
three or four orders, the bill concerning read
ing the Bible in public schools came up in the
orders OF the day
Mr., TwoMBLY of Suffolk moved that it be

no necessity tor haste in its passage. He
found some Of his constituents opposed TO it,

Mr.. NoRTHEND of Essex remarked that tue

order Of business.
The motion to lay on the table was lost.
Mr. HAVEN Of MiddleSex could not see any
haste in the action, and while lie did not
believe any bill could be passed that would
give universal satisfaction, he was satisfied
this would be as acceptable as any which could
be offered
Mr.. TUCKER of Suffolk was surprised at the
opposition of his C0lleage, usually liberal in
his views; but he did not think 1t proper
way for a legislator to go round to ascertain
the sentiments OF all the weak minds in the
community, before passing Il bill lie hoped
he would act ON his own judgment ia the
matter, and not consult that kind of weak ness
which belonged to the things which were pass
ing away.
The bill was passed to be enacted, as was
also the bill establishing the terms OF the
probate court in the county of Bristol.

The FIGHT WITH HUMPHREY MARsHALLs
Capt. Willard, of one OF the regiments
under Col Garfield in Kentucky, was at
Cleveland, Ohio, a few days since. He gave
some account of their fight with Humphrey
Marshalls men. Alter the skirmish at Point

tonburg, to place where Marshall's men
were posted OIL the hills Here the decisive
battle occurred. The Cleveland Herald pub.
fishes some OF Capt. Wizards statements con.
corning the fight. He says
"a body OF tine enemy were posted on
commanding hill, and it became necessary to
dislodge them. The fourteenth Kentucky
volunteered for the service, as they knew the
nature Of the ground. Said Col. Garfield
go in, boys; give them Hall Columbia ?
The hill was cleared, and soon the reserve Of
the brigade came in at a double quick. As
soon as he saw them, Col. Garfield pulled off
| is coat, and flung it up in the air, where 1t
lodged in tree, out OF reach. The men
threw up their caps with wild shout, and
rushed at the enemy, Col. Garfield, in his shirt
steeUeS. leading the way.
As the federal troops reached the top of the
hill rebel officer shouted, in surprise, why,
how many of you are there 2 Twenty. Eve
thousand men, d. YOU yelled a Kentucky
Union officer, rushing at the rebel. In an
instant the rebels broke and ran in utter con.
fusion. Several instances Of personal daring
and GOODNESS are related. member o. Capt.
Bushnells company in the iOrty-seeond was
about TO bite cartridge when musket ball
struck the cartridge from his fingers. Coolly
facing the direction from which the shot came
he took out another cartridge, and exclaimed

Many of the churches in New York are in
a hard way. In the large, aristocratic, up.
town houses Of worship, where the salaries
are $4,000 or $1,000 per year, and the aggregate
expenses nearly double this amount, there is
financial distress. Most of the pew. holders
are men of reputed wealth, but the failures
and losses of the war exert powerful inhu
ence and teariuIly cripple their resources.

THE Boston Posi- appears to dislike to see
republicans SO generally express satisfaction
with the appointment of Hon. Edwin NJ.
Stanton to be secretary of war. That journal
would evidently have been more pleased if
this appointment had caused an outbreak of
war among the republicans and driven most
of them TO attack the president with all the
fury of angry partizans. We are sorry to see
the Post so constantly on the alert to gain
some partizan advantage over the republicans
and to keep alive the partizan antipathieS Of
its political friends. There is more patriotic
course than this, and we wish the Post would
recollect this better course the next time it
feels moved to BLACKBOARD Governor Andrew
or create prejudice against other prominent
republicans.

The Charleston correspondent OF the Rich

"Ail accounts seem to agree as to the fact
that the Yankee gunboats are admirably man
aged. They range at will up and down the
little bayous Of the coast, and their riAed
guns are ALWAYS served with great precision.
1t was probably the consideration of this
great advantage, which the enemy possess,
that has induced Cen Lee to fall back from
the shorelne of the main, and to choose his
position for a final stand about three miles
from the Coosaw river"
