CAPTURE OF FEDERAL GUNS
Duy before yesterday the Federals
Oh the Mississippi river, above Fort
Pillow, became anxious to furnish
their friends on this side of the river
with l3-inch mortar and a large
field peice. TO carry out their wish
es, and for other purposes best known
to themselves, they built large raft
and put the guns upon it, and moved
it with sixteen men, 1t was then
worked across the river, and while
floating down the eastern bank was
captured by our pickets. The raft,
the mortar and the gun, with the am
munition, will doubtless do good SER
vice for the independence Of the Con
sederacy hereafter. Memphis Ava

Corinth is a town of about 1000
inhabitants. 1t is situated at the
junction of the Memphis & Charles
ton and the Mobile &Ohio Railroads
about 90 miles east off Memphis.
From Corinth the Memphis and
Charleston II. r. runs cast past Burns
vile, IA miles distant, Florence,
Tuscrmbia, Decatur, when it crosses
the Tennessee river and on to Hunts
Vile Chattanooga, &c The Mobile
and Ohio road runs nearly north of
Bethel, 10 miles distant, and on to
Jackson and Humboldt.
The two roads form at Corinth an
obtuse angle, which opens towards
the Tennessee river, where it bends
most to the north. The nearest point
is Pittsburg. 1t is a simple landing
aud about 81 miles from Corinth.
The road thither bends first to the
left past Monterey, and thence to the
right past Shiloh Church. Monterey,
or Pea Ridge, as it is otherwise call
ed, is about 10 miles from Corinth.
sSeven miles further on is Shiloh
Church, and still three miles. farther
on, the Tennessee river.

Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1862-11-10

OF the result of the recent elections Of
members of the next Congress, the Wash
ingtOn Chronicle says that it has no doubt
that there are, among the Democrats re-
Gently elected to the XXXVIITth Congress,
many honest and patriotic men. These
will have ample opportunity, before they
enter on their duties, to appreciate the un-
questionable truth that in everything that
has been done by the present administra-
ton, Mr.. Lincoln and his Cabinet have
seized on the true philosophy Of the rebel
lion, and have truly interpreted and hon
sstly reflected the sentiments Of the Amer
lean public In regard to it. They will dis
cover that the proclamation Of emsncipa-
ton was expedient and wisei that it was
no ehimera, no result Of a temporary yield
ing to Abolition" influences, but the log
icsl, inevitable next thing, +" in the march
Of human events. They viii discover that
the call for six hundred thousand men was
not a simple ezpedient for Increasing the
taxes, but practical response to the es-
gerness Of the people.
"The people viii save the country If the
Government viii only do its part indiFsr-
emily we'll" The unfaltering trust ex-
pressed in these first words Of Mr. Lincoln
has never deserted him. Nor need it now.
It is almost always the fate Of a new Ad-
hinistration to have its second Congress
in opposition. Popular reaction, disap-
pointed politicians, and the too high e1pec-
tations rashly formed, all operate with
more or less forcs. But if the principle Of
the new government is sound, and If its
conduct has been honest, it is certain to be
supported in the long run. A change in
popular feeling BY no means argues q
change in the direction Of national devel-
Opment or g halt in the progress ofevents.
We are not certain that the DemOcra-
cy win have the 4ext house but we feel
sure that even if they have, the war wiz
go on, If, indeed, it be not finished by that
time, and carry them along with it in spite
Of themselves.
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1862-11-10


The Democrats are not satisfied with
having carried the election and secured the
next Congress, but they are grasping
enough to want to do the work Of the re-
naming months of this present one. The
New York Herald wildly suggests an "in-
formal meeting of the peoples newly
elected representatives, in order that they
may agree upon series Of recommends
tions and declarations Of the general poll
cy which they believe would meet-the cor
dial support of our loyal people"
This is decidedly too fast. The Thirty
seventh Congress can take care Of its own
affairs, and we trust will so cooperate with
the army that the rebellion will be sub
dusd before the Thirty eighth meets in De-
eember, 1883.

Washington dispatch to the N. Y. Times.l
We have to-day heard the opinions Of
three Major Generals, and these opinions
are the reflex Of all military opinions here,
to the effect that the view Of the rebel pre-
gramme entertained by Major General
Dix, and exclusively set forth in this col
una some some days ago, is the correct
one, and that the rebels are actively re-
firing, with q view of concentrating at
Petersburgh, where General LongstFeet,
with his vanguard, Is already in command,
for the purpose Of making an attack on
Suffolk and Yorktown, capturing the sup
plies and vast stores Of heavy artillery left
behind in the latter place on the abandon
ment Of the Peninsula; and then making
an attack in force upon Fortress Monroe,
which Governor Letcher has declared TO
be the one point essential to the sovereign
ty of the State Of Virgins and the safety
of the Confederate Government.
