message was, therefore, decidedly in
imical to radicalism. But aside from
any effect produced by this, we see ev-
idence of better things before u.s.
While the East has been growing more
loud in its radical plans, we are per-
suaded thai there is an undercurrent of
conservatism even in New England
which is setting deep and strong to-
wards the right, The West is sending
along triumphant evidence that the day
Of good sound judgment is at hand
there. The nation is worn and weary
of this fever which has run through it,
and healthy reaction is visible in all
its parts. The country is not doomed.
The President wisely recommended
that the prayers of the people be offer
ed up for our national counsels, that
they might lead to unity and harmony
throughout our borders. Let him lead
those counsels in that direction, and
the whole nation will follow him.
And when he shall indicate any coun-
sells that may result in this glorious
unity which we lldesire, however loud
may be the cry of radical men against
them, the people will welcome them
with joy; and when unity and harmony
are restored to the conyulsed land, we
take it on ourselves to say that none
will more gladly relapse into the ways
of peace than those very radical men
who in the present storm are so fierce
and foolish.

There is nothing surprising in his doing
this to us. He was elected as and

pressed at any abolition scheme he a.

CAIRo, April 19.-A special dispatch to
the Chicago Tribune, from off Fort Wright,
says: Firing on both sides, on Thursday,
very heavy. The mortars opened at noon,
and the enemy replied brskly from land bat
teries, throwing shell clear over US and near.
ly across the river. Their firing was very
accurate and from heavy guns. The gum
boats st. Louis, Carondelet and Cairo, sta
toned as picket ships, near the extremity Of
the point, had to move up the river to got
out of range.
The firing was kept up on both sides until
midnight The gunboats st. Louis and Car
ondolet were struck by shell, but received no
damage.
Yesterday but little firing was done. The
mortars were shifted to the opposite side OF
the river for greater protection. In the for
mer locality there was great danger from
prowling rebel bands, who have already cut
the leyee in two or three places to embarass
the operations Of the mortars.

DEATH OF CONSTABLE ELCH-The
wounds received by Constable WEIGH on
Sunday by the hand of Miles Ogle, contrary
to all supposition, proved fatal at half past
one o'clock yesterday afternoon.
We have learned some further particulars
of the affair from the officers who received
Welch's dying declarations. WEIGH, learn
ing that Ogle was on the boat, sent boy
for another officer, and then proceeded to
the boat alone. A large dog was tied in the
bow of the boat, which barked at the APP
proach Of Welch, attracting the mother Of
Ogle, who opened the door, but seeing
WEIGH, Immediately closed it again. WEIGH
told her to take away the dog, to which she
paid no attention WEIGH then drew his
revolver to defend himself against the dog
in case he offered to bite
AS Welch approached the door, 0gle
called to his mother, saying, "let him in
I'l kill him if he comes" As WEIGH enter
ed, Ogle shet him with double barreled
shot gun, the shot taking effect in his righi
lhCCLALAL6 II hCAAAONJ- IL ." A-S-->~--'
or two, Ogle discharged the OtLsr barrel
the contents taking effect in the breast ant
aft shoulder.
The woman, in the meanti me, had seized
WEIGH by his coat, tearing the skirt off o
it, and then seiziug a stick, struck hin
several blows.
Ogle Immediately took to his skif and
started down the river, and at last accounts
had not been caught
The mother of 0gle ia under arrest, We
believe, as an accessory TO the murder.
Welch was brave man, and simply de-
sired TO do his duty as an officer. he leaves
young wife, who deserves the sympathy
of this community.

enemy know they must carry that place
before they can hope to make any impress
sion on the island. With this view they
have advanced powerful column, said to
be l6, 900 strong, under General Pope, and
have fairly invested New Madrid, but st a
respectful distance. The country around
the place is a dead level, and whenever the
enemy attempt to advance they will be
checked by the fire of our gunboats. 1t is
the opinion of our officers that no infantry
force can stand the storm Of she'll and shot
which the gunboats can shower upon them
An experiment on their lines has already
been made by Commodore Hoilins, with
marked success. Since experiencing the
fire of the boats they have exhibited no
disposition to advance. They have, how
ever, succeeded in throwing small force
around our position to Point Pleasant, be-
l)w New Madrid. But no danger is appre-
| hsnded from this movement. The party
which has succeeded in making the detour
is provided with light artillery only : and
| this will not enable them to effect their OBJ
jeet Of threatening our water communics-
tons with New Madrid. To accomplish
| this they must erect batteries and mount
heavy siege guns. But these they cannot
bring down to Point Pleasant without great
labor, nor within any short time, as they
possess means of transportation neither by
railroad nor by water. The small force
now below rs can at any time be driven
away, and runs the risk of being totally
cut off and captured. sE Ing 81
