Tribute to a Missouri Soldier.

JAMES S. THOMPSON, of Caldwel's regiment, Missouri volunteers, died in hospital at Little Rock, on the 18th February. He was citizen of St. Clair county, Mo. n
 That young man was one of the Missouri pa trlot army-a noble, brave and generous soldier, and brother of the estimabe Assistant Surgeon Thompson, of Hunters Missouri regiment He had given up the associations of home and pro- perty in the .' Old Land" to strike for the gov erninent of his cholce, and although the brave youth has gone to sleep before his eyes behed the acknowledged freedom of his country, and the bursting of the chains of slavery now forged around our loved Mssouri yet his body lies under soil made sacred and free by the blood and yalor of Elk Horn and Prairie Grove. He died as he would wish, and as he had freely elected to do, in the liberating army of his country, and buried by a large number of his weeping comrades, under the folds of the stars and bars, in land unknown to federal outrage
 DEAR MIssoTRI, our loped mother; thousands of your sons yet line the army, battling for your free dom-but. like young THOMPSON, we'll come back in triumph or come not again. Our bodies we would prefer sleep quietly here r,her than sub init to dishonOr at home.
 No fearing doubting thy soldier shall know,
 When here stands his e"lntiy and yon fer his foe; One look at the bright prayer to the sky, glance where onr banner floats glorious on highf Then on the young lion bounds on his prey;
 Let the sword hasil hgli---ng the sctbbird away; Roll on, like the thunierh'lt over the plain | We back ih glory or come not agatnV MISSIONARY. 1 The deceased has many friends and relatives in l Texas, and Texas papers will please copy.

The Federal Army.

The Federal army is just now in bad way Dispirted by repeated and constant defeat, and thnued by disease and desertion, it IS neverthe- less under the desperate necessity of accomplishing some great and decided victory before the first ot May--a cruel necessity which is simple Tmpossi- bility In he month of May next the term oi service will expire of the nine months men raised last summer, as also of the two years men raised at the beginning of the war, just after the Bull Run fight-amounting to over two hundred thou sand dmen. This will deprive them of over one third, if not nearly one half of their fighting men, and leave the balance at the mercy of theveterans of the Confederate army.
 This is not only fact upon the Federal govern ment but the further still more mortifying fact stares it in the face, that no more new levies of white men can be obtained. It is at the end of it's rope, unless it whip with negro soldiers, and hence the law recently passed by Congress author igipg Lincoln to raise 300 regiments of black men.
 If this war lasts till the first of June (and we have no idea it will) we will not only take Wash ington City, Baltimore and Louisville, but we will invade the free States.

 inues to increase in the north western States. Tn Iowa, peace meetings have been held, said to De the largest ever seen in the State. Resolutions were introduced in the Illinois legislature refusing to cooperate any longer in the war, and demand ing an arnistice They would have passed II the abolitioniss had not bolted and left the House without Il quorum The legislature afterwards met and adjourned until June, without further action: In Indiana and Kentucky the anti Lincoln feeling grows every day. Divisions and dssensions among the people of the North, met by concert and unity at the South. New England is alarmed at the idea of being 'left out in the cold and is grow ing weak in the knees. In Tennessee there has heen no battle. Rosecranz has been reinforced till his army numbers S0,000 men, but the new troops are raw and not disposed to fight. There has been severe skirmishing near Suffolk, Tn 'ir ginia By this time, no doubt, desperate and bloody battle has been fought in the vicinity of Charleston Early in the month the enemy were concentrating men and ships. Welook anxiousiy, vet confidently, for news from that quarter. Ihe latest intelligence from Vicksburg IS that the fed erals have been repulsed Lncoln's game is nearly played out. If the battte at Vioksburg has been decisive one, we may look for proposals for an ar mistice and propositions for peace In every quar- ter and through every channel, the news that comes is encouraging.

From Vicksburg.

The federal ram, Queen of the West, ran by the batteries at vicksburg, on the morning of the 2d. Over hundred shots were fired at her, twelve of !. which bit her, but did no material damage. She was cased with cotton bales to protect her from sharp shooters. On the night of the 9th, coal barge was turned loose above Vcksburg and is said to have aoated down to the ram, which was cruising about Natchez, and which had captured several steamboats. Last week, in alluding to the feds having the ferry boat below Vicksburg with guns on her, we expressed the opinion that she could be taken, as we had boats up ked river and plenty cotton bales to fix them up as Magruder lad done at Galveston. We have the gratifying intelligence that boats were fitted up, sent to the Missssippi and that they succeeded in capturing the Queen of the West. Tho northern papers, we are toid' ac- count for the capture by saying that the captain ol the ram was engaged to be married to southern lady, and surrendered the ram to please his iady love. @
 The fedepl officers reported that the canal' op- posite vcksburg had eight feet water in 1t on the lst that it would not wash out, but by means oi dredges they would be able to deepen it, so as to admit of the passage of boats. Meanwhile, It ap- pears the confederates got batteries In position 90 as to fire mon any boat that might come in the . canal. This information was received here iase week and afterwards, We had rumors that the water was running in at both ends of the canal and out at the middle. and flooding fEe swamps. t.was also renorted that the levces had been cut above and the enemy were being drowned out. It IS certain they had cut canal from the Mississlppi to Lahe Providence, intending to endeavor to get boats in 1eneas river from there into Black river, and from that into Red river. As these reports reached us we concluded that Grant, or McClernand, had con cluded to dig around Vicksburg and not storm the city.
 On Sunday, we had rumor that there had been frhting there and on Monday morning, Gen. Holmes received dispatch to the effect that the enemy had again attacked Vicksburg, and had been repulsea. Up to the time of writing, tMon- day nigbt. we have DO particulars, nor do we know whether 1t was general attack, or how long it lasted If it was anything of battle, 1t is the beginning of the end. If the assault was general one MeClernands 8 army has more straggiers ana deserters from it than an army eyer-had before - Perhaps, before go to press, we shall receive . some particulars If the loss of the Queen of the West, and finding that digging would not do, force them to make an attack, they have been whip ped and with that whipping ends the cherished scheme of opening the Mississippi by force of arms.
