and took possession ON the 9th, captured the en-
tire garrison, about seven thousand men, thirty
five field pieces, twenty five siege guns and about
tea thousSnd stand small arms. We have Major

Colonels Stcdman, Miles, Smith, and one or two
others, names unknown.
There had been no general engagement at
Port Hudson for Somn days previous 10 the sur
render, all having been quiet expecting that artil
lory practice was kupt up on oHr part and fully re-
piled 10 by the enomy. Provisions had been short
with the rebels for some time, and their commm-
cations having been cut of they could not obtain
more supplies. There were No hopes of succor
from the forces known 10 bo in the vicinity hence
there was nd alternative but surrender or starva-
ton, The results immediately consequent upon
this last grand victory of the Union arms over the
rebellion can hardly be estimated At present. but
great fact is now established, the Father ot
Waters, the Mississippi River, is to-day open Ia

may bc stated, We captured the enemy 5 works
at Port Hudson, which are deemed very strong

have more small arms aud ammunition than We

by their own conscience, render the homage due to
the Divine Majesty for the wonderful things He has
done in the Nations behalf, and invoke the inilu-
cnce Of His Holy Spirit to subduo the anger which
has produced and so long sustained needless and
cruel rebellion to change tho hearts of the insur-
gents to guide the counses Of the Government
with wisdom adequate to so great national emer-
gcncy, AMI to visit with tender and consolation
throyslEIhe length al sI2pgsMsS ut our land, all

CLARK'S CANE MILLS.

That these Mills and Evaporat0rs are the best
in USE is clearly established by the fact that pref
erence is given them, wherever they are known
and they have never failed to take the First Prcmi
um at every State fair where they have been ex-
hibied in competition with others-and Cooks
Evaporator is the only one on which sugar in any
quantity has ever been made. Nr. j. II. Smith,
of Qnncy, lllirois, writes that he made over FIVE
tuns Of sugar one of tEem last season; and that
his sugar, and the syrup made by c. ID. Roberts,
of jacksonville, took the First Premiums, Mt the
Springfield annual meeting Of the Agricultural
Board, The mills are Hedges Patent, with Clark S
Improvements, and the most perfect mill in the
United States; will run one-third lighter than any
other, and are so constructed that it is impossible
to break them.

pamphlets giving full descriptions.
In order to secure your Mills aud Eyaporators
in good SeaSon, hand Ia your orders early. Hun
dreds were disappointed last season by putting ii

The war IS disclosing, ID remarkable
degree, tho beauties and peculiarisies Of the
system which has so long ahamed our civil
ization. Thus, for instances, IN North Car,
olina, not long since, q pack Of bloodhouuds
employed 10 hunting fugitives from bondage
were captured BY our forces; in Alabama,
Mississippi Texas aud elsewhare, unotFend
Jog loyalsts have hocked, manned and scar
rcd, into our lines, bleeding witnesses Of the
humane tendencies Of slavery; in Virginia,
drinking cups have been made Of the skulls
Of our fallen braves, and fnger-ripgs Of their
bones, even southern women clamoriog
therefor as ornaments Tor their parlor tables,
More recently, still other discoveries of the
beauties Of the System have been made
and Of one Of thcss we find the following ac-
count 10 uthe Port Royal Frst South. i'la
"Among the trophies Of Colonel TIiggin-
sons expedition up the ST. Mary's river, and
which have attracted much attention, is q

parurc Of ladys wear made OF the native
wood Of tho country and mounted with iron
| is particularly attractive. A notch is cut
in the middle Of a heavy hard pine stick,
eight feet long, Of sufficient size TO admit
the neck, which, when inserted, a massive
iron bar clamps and holds fast by strong
paddock, This is an improvement on tho
Spanish garote, which chokes outright, and
answers the same purpose as ducking under
water until life is nearly extinct without the
inconvenience Of getting wet. Another adj
mirable contrivance of NADINE Alburtis's
