heavy plank, and over this with railroad

feet high with earth. 1t is described as
being very strong. 1t contained three

WASHINGTON, Jan. u.
Our blockading feet has just captured
some very important dispatches from
jeff. Davis and his Secretary of State, to
Mason, Siidell and others in Europe.-
These dispatches give many important
facts and details in regard to the condi-
tion Of the rebels. They give the strong
est statements of the desperate straits to
which the rebel leaders are reduced, and
show that unless they can quickly get
relief, either by European interference
or by dividing the free States aud paral-
yzing the efforts Of the Government. thew
must give up their bad cause for lost.
These dispatches arrived here yester-
day: They were put up 10 a tin box
loaded with lead at one end, so as to sink
quickly in an emergency. But our sail

A special dispatch from Nashville,
dated last night, contains the following:
Gen. Forrest, of the rebel army, with
a force Of about 1000 men and IL pieces
OF artillery, attack our relief and store
ships coming up the Cum berland, and
succeeded in capturing FIVE steam boats
loaded with valuable commissary stores,
and the gunboat Slidel. Several of the
boats contained wounded soldiers, who,
when jumping from the burning boats,
were shot in the water. The negro
crews were stripped of their clothise
tied to trees, cowhided, and left to starvS.
The boats were all anchored in mid.
channel, and after being stripped Of vi.

over the north-sll pretending great love
for the Union, but doing all in their
power to prevent an efficient prosecution
Of the war and creating opposition to the
Administration, who represent the Union
and who must be supported if the Union
shall be preserved. There may be diff
ference Of opinion as to the policy to be
followed in carrying on the war, but
what two men, or set of men, would mark
out the same plan for crushing this great
rebellion? No mortal men could please
every party in this matter. Therefore,
as the present Administration represents
the govern ment and all that patriots hold
dear pertaining to our Union aud free
institutions, the only way to save the
Union and crush cut the rebellion is to
give united support 20 the Administra'
tion.
There has been a phase Of opposition
10 the Government, manifested here late
y, in opposition to the passage BY Con.
,ress Of an act to issue more Treasury
notes. There Is heavy "bank" opposi-
'ition. which the Herald and World aid
IS that is one way of embarrassing the
Government. Banks wish the Govern.
nent to sell bonds at such prices as they
may control and take their issues and
pay our soldiers instead of Treasury
notes. Of course the country would be
Hooded by irredeemable bills, for specie
payments are suspended, which the peo-
pie would not feel were as safe as govern
neut issues. 1t was noticed some

SouNDlNGs FROM THE ATLANTIC. BY Oliver
Wendell Holmes. Boston Tioknor a Fields
This book is a collection from the .hidniie,-
not the wide sea, but the magazine,-of the fol-
lowing articles
Bread and the Newspaper My Hunt after
The Captain, ;" The Stereoscope and the Stcr-
ecgraph !" Sun.paintings and Sun Sculpture,
with Stereoscoplc Trip across the Atlantic !"
"Doings of the Sunbeam "The Human Wheel,
ia Spokes and Feloes : " A visit TO the Autocral's
Landlady !" {" A Nisi to the Asylum for Aged
and Decayed Puusters !" " The Great Instru-
ment," and The Inevitable Trial"
Our readers will remember all these familiar
articles, and will oe very sure, il they have once
read them in the magazine to secure them 10
the inviting form in which the publisher presents
them 10 US. DR.. Holmes is one of the most en-.
tertaining, raoy, versatile writers of New Eng
land and scarcely any author has been more
widely read. While some Of his contributions to
the current literature of the day do not appeal to
the popular intellect aud to the popular heart, he
has written many things which enlist the sympa'
thy OF every one who reads at all |" My Hunt at
ter The Captain" in this volume, is an instance
of this, and is one Of the most captivating and
touching narratives which the incidents of the
war has furnished the materials for.
THE THOUGHTS on THE EMPEROR NJ. AuRELlu'
ASroSlUs. Translated by George Long. Bos
ton Tcknor & Fields.
We cannot better notice this book than b,
copying the following from an exchange
The lovers Of the classics owe the publishers |
debt Of gratitude for this reprint Of Mr.. Long
excellent translation Of one OF the noblest work
of antiquity. From the time OF its first appear
ance in print (l55s) to the present day, ihes
thoughts OF the good Emperor Antoninus hav
always found readers among the worlds bes
men, and we trust always will, for no ancient an'
but few modern, tr,atses on morals are so llke
to ennoble their thoughts and actions. The trail
Of meditation in " lth he INDUCED was akin 4
the speculation, Of the Stoics, by the spir, rathe
than the letter Of whose philosophy he lived, an
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1863-12-08

eleven Of them died IN twenty four hours. At
another time fourteen were admitted, and in a
single day ten Of them died. Judging from what
we have ourselves seen and do know, we do not
hesitate 70 say that, under treatment Of system.
etic abuse, neglect and semi-staryati0n, the num-
bers who are becoming permanently broke down
in their constitutions must be reckoned by thous-
ands.
We leave it for others to say what is demanded
by this state of things. The rebel daily papers
in general terms acknowledge the truth of all we
have affirmed, but usually close their abusive ed
itorals by declaring that even such treatment is
better then the invading Yankees deserve. The
Examiner, in recent article, begrudged even
the food the prisoner did receive and the boxes
sent to US from home, and closed by eulogizing
the system OF semi starvation and exposure as
well calculated to dispose of US. All this is true;
and yet cold weather has hardly commenced
We are horfed when we picture the wholesale
misery and death that will come with the biting
fross Of winter.
Recently several hundred prisoners per day
were being removed to Danyille. In two instan.
ces We were standing in view of them, as their
ranks filed past. 1t wrs a sad sight TO see the at
tenuated features and palid faces Of men few
months since robust and in vigorous health
Numbers were without shoes, nearly all without
blankets Or overcoais, and not a man did we see
who was well and fully clad. But, 10 the credit
OF the prisoners IN Richmond, Of al ranks be it
recorded, that oil along they have showed heroic
iortt1dej and under suffering, and spurnng the
idea that their government had forgotten them,
they have held last their confidence in the final
and speedy success Of our cause.
In addition to the above statement, we wish il
to be distinct understood that the rebel medical
officers connected with the hospitals referred to
-Surgeons Wilkins, Simmons and Sab1l, and
the hospta steward, Ilalet--are not in uay way,
80 for as our observation has extended, responsi
Bile for the state Of things, existing there's but,
on he other hand we are bound in justice to
bear testimony 10 thar kindness and faithful per.
iormanee Of heir duties with the limited means
at their disposal.
