Now that We ave the ram Queen of tie
West and the gunboat Indianola, there is nc
reason why the Yankees should not be shelled
out of their present camps from Brown &
Johnston's up to Burney's. One of these boats
might also be employed at night il p~atroliug the
river, and advising the g1nners of the advance
of the snemy's boats.
Our batteries opened FIRE about one o'clock
Tuesday night, on some object Acatiug down
tho river, but the night was SO dark no one
could decide whether It was q gunboat with
smoke-stacks down, or q coal bOss. As nothing
has been seen Of it farther down, we are in
cIined to believe it was a datboat. Whea will
we get the river 1T upi Every day renders the
necessity Of a move in this direction more sP-
parent.
Yesterday, about one O'Clock, q low, black
boat, with two smoke stacks, was observed
floating down the Louisiaus side of the river n
the vicinity Of where the canal comes out below
B~uTHey's. Our lower batteries opened on her,
but she still doated silently on, and in half an
hour was out Of sight Some thought she had
come through the canal, and cthers that it was
the same craft which caused the firing here on
Tuesday night 1t seems somewhat strange
that she did not use steam if she was 2 gun
boat, aud still more strange that our lower bat
teries did not discover her in the forenoon if she
was the boat which passed here Tuesday night.
There is certainly something mysterious about
this craft.
From the WING, February 95l
Several Yankees visited DeSOto again yegter-
day, but were driven off by g couple of shells
from Ogden's battery.
The Yankee transport Thomas E. Putt, went
up the river yesterday afternoon from tia feet,
loaded with troops.
We learn that the Yankees are laying every
thing in waste in Carroll psrish Houses are

away in large numbsTs, and many Of the largest

e The Memphis Bulletin referring to a true
aud trite phrase that bistery repeats Itself, says;
This is peculiarly tie fact with regard to the
history Of our war. The scenes, tho incidents,
the defeats and successes of a year ago are being
repeated to-day, The battle fields upon which
50 much valor has beer displayed and so much
bloed has been shed have again become the
scenes of conflict. Thus we had two serious
battles at Bull Run, two battles at Corinth, two
at Yicksburg and 3 third in contemplation, and,
lastly. w are on the eve Of a second bloody
drama at Charleston, in which BesiTegard in
t,odueed the first act by an attack On Sumter.
Then, as now, B~esuregard commanded at
Charleston.
