the rebel troops is widespread. Men

a shot into her, which nearly sunk her.

Honor to Whom Honor Is Due.

The Chicago Tribune has mentioned
Cue dudII near EUFJ T IIIUW JwU TImeo;
making an error each time.
The first mention it makes it says the
force consisted of Capt. Moore's Company
of Second Illinois Cavalry and a Com
pany of the Thirty-Second Iowa. The
next time it says same Company of Cav
airy and Company of the Fifty-Seventh
Illinois.
Now, the truth is, it was Capt Frank
lin Moore's Company D, Second Illinois
Cavalry and Company of the Fifty
Second Indiana mounted.
Capt. Moore should not be COMPOUNDED
with Capt Francis Moore of the same
Regiment of Cavalry He is one of the
most efficient officers in this part of the
country, and has done more to purge the
country of guerrillas than any command
err with ten times the number of men.
He is a continual terror to the rascals,
and many a rascally " Reb has obtained
his rights through his agency. % ~
The Company of the Fifty-Second dis
tinguished themselves in the action, and
should not be cheated of their laurels so
hardly won in the engagement.
The rebels lost IL killed and quite a
number wounded, As prisoners, wagon
load of arms, go horses and mules. Capt
Moore had one man sli1htlU wounded.

E9s~ We hope those of our readers
who have been particularly and seriously
afflicted with conservatism for the past
four or five months, or, mayhap, year,
will read the Richmond papers on James
Brooks, the prince of New York con-
servatists. If that don't cure them of
their malady, they are past hoping for,
and deserve to make the acquaintance Of
the undertaken at once. The scorn
heaped upon the worthy head of the
New York Express, and member elect
of Congress, must be peculiarly accepta-
Bile to that gentleman. Like well
trained slave, however, we presume he
will kiss the hand that applies the lash,
and meekly inquire what dirty job he
can undertake that will be more accept
able to his masters than "re-con-
struction of the Union" We are not so
sure that he has not already received his
orders as as he is devoting his attention
now to proving that the South can't be
conquered, and that the Northwest and
Middle States ought to cut loose from
New England. s

Eg~A daring exploit has been per-
formed in Louisiana. A Federal scout
named W. ]. Murray went on horseback
from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, to
ascertain the condition of the telegraph

enemys country, which is infested with
rowing bands of guerrillas, but met with
no opposition, and returned to New Or
leans in safety
