KNOW A LITTLE VILLAGE.

I know little village,
Where sunny sparkling stream
Murmurs DER the shining pebbles
Like the music of a dream;
And love to see it glisten
In the suns bright golden ray
But neither stream nor sunlight
Have brought me here to-day.
And know little cottage
Where the summer roses grow,
And star-like scented Jessamine,
With petals white as snow;
Where feathered songsters chat at eve,
A soft melodious lay
But neither birds nor flowers, l ween,
Have broeSht me here to-day.
But in that cottage dwelleth now
A maiden fair and bright.
With eyes like dew -gemmed violets,
And lock of sunny light;
With soul as pure as yon bright stream,
And heart as light and gay
And to claim that maiden for my bride
came this road to-day.

Governor Blair's Message

LANSING, MICHIGAN, Jan. 3.
The State Legislature assembled and
was full organized yesterday, Gov.
Blair's message having been delivered
to day. 1t is a careful and elaborate
document, setting forth the State and
national topics. The financial affairs
of this State are represented to be in a
most satisfactory condition. Adequate
sinking funds have been provided for
the gradual extinguishment of the
present State debt, and a system of
taxation not burdensome inaugurated,
which will prevent all further increase
of debt.
The State has furnished in all '45 500
soldiers, of which 24,200 were sent to
the field previous to July last. There
are yet to be raised to fill the QUOTA
under the last call for 100000 men
1900.
According to the proclamation of e.
Emancipation, which the message harti-
ly endorses, Gov. Blair says: W. are
about to strike hands with the entire
loyal population of the South, whether
white or black. We should no longer
respect the claim of a white traitor to
compel a black loyalist to aid him in
destroying the Government.
The venerable DR.. Logan Clark, Of
the M. E. Church, relates as n Of
the many laughable scenes ofhis min
istry, the story of a nan in Landoff.

A Cavalry Charge.

"Forward!" cried Romer; and his
thirty squadrons, like bottled whirl~
wind now at last let loose, dash upon
S~chulenburg's poor ten five of them
Schulenburg's own regiment) who are
turned sideways too, trotting towards
them in wild ruin. That must have
been a wild charge! That was the be-
ginning of hours of chaos, seemingly
lrretrieyeable, in the Prussian right
wing. For the Prussians fly wildly
and it was in vain to rally.
The King is among them; has come
in hot haste, coniuring and command
ing; poor S~chulenburg addresses his
own regiment, "Oh shame, shame!
shall il be told?" then rallies his own
regiment and some others; charges
h%ercely in with them again: gets a
saber slash across the face, does not
mind the saber slash, small bandaging
will do-gets a bullet through the
head Tor through the heart, it is not
said which, and falls down dead; his
regiment going to the winds again
and his care of it and other things
concluding in this honorable manner.
Nothing can rally that right wing, or
the more you rally, the worse it fares;
they are clearlyno match for Romer,

front OF their W first line of infantry;
they fly between the two lines; Romer

The Rebel Raid in Missouri
to the Chicago Tribune.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
ST.. LOUIS, Jan. g., 1868.
Information Of an attack on Spring
feldhas been received. The rebels arere
ported by Gen. Brown at 900 strong
but this is probably an exaggeration.
They yesterday cut the telegraph
near Wilson's Creek, and captured
the repairers sent out tosrepair it. The
rebels approached Springfield by the
Ozark road and have probably cut off
300 men at Ozark, in Christian coun~
ty, under Capt. Flagg, of the Four
teenth Missouri militia.
There are or were a few days ago,
only two pieces of artillery in Spring
field to defend the town, the fortifica-
tions there having never been mounts
ed. The forces there a few days ago
consisted of the Third and Fourth
Michigan cavalry, numbering together
about $50 efficient men, the Eighteenth
Iowa, 900 strong, and 1000 sick and
convalescent soldiers, abont 600 of
whom will be able to assist in the de-
fence.
If the rebels have the artillery res
ported d, fears are felt for the safety OF
Of the town, as there is a million of
dollars worth of stores there: The
ordnance and ammunition are stored
in Fort Lyon, into which the garrison
can finally retreat and defy any as
sault. ia the opinion of military officers
famillar with the locality.
Only the sick and wounded of the
army Of the frontier have reached
Springfield.
Gen. Blunt was at Huntsville when
last heard of, and Gen. Heron and
Soofield at Fayetteville, Any relief
for Springfield from Arkansas is out of
the question.
There are 1900 cavalry at the out,
posts within fifty miles of Springfield
cut they seems@unavailable.
Up 10 The present writing, the rebels
had gained no advantage in the SUBJ
urbs ofSpringfeld, except to demolish
a few houses. Skirmishing took place
on John o. Phelps place early this
morning.

Gen Carter's force consisted Of the
9th Pennsylvania cavalry, two battal-
ions of the End Michigan, Gen. Cham

OF the 7th Ohio-in ali, 1926 men.
He left Richmond KY, on the 21st

the most bitterly rebel regions Of that
bitterly rebel State. There he was to

through Estilville and Brownsville
and striking the railroad at Union.
which name is pronounced Zollicoffer
by the rebel. We have now before
US the results eff this movement. The
country in which this breaking of the
great line Of communication between
the Eastern and Western divisions OF
the rebellion has at last been effected
is one Of the most loyal in Tennessee,
it's population being twenty to one a.
gainst secession. The other column
was to strike across to Rogersville, on
tie Holston River, to which a branch
extends from the main railroad. On
this branch a single train runs to the
trunk road in the morning and back at
night. There being as yet no depot,
it stands on the road during the night.
Arriving at Rogerstown after dark,
a force was to be sent on this train
down the read to Strawberry Plains,
fifteen miles east of Knoxville, where
it crosses the Holston River on a
Howe's patent truss bridge fifty feet
above the water, and nearly 500 yards
long. The transit from Rogerstown
would require about two hours, and
the bridge being destroyed, Gen. Car,
