are perfectly oontentsd. and look forward
with hope to future elevation Of charac-
ter.
The experiment, adopted hastily and
with many misgivipes, / now regard q =
eomnlete success. The number Of bales
of cotton raised on these plantations will
not much, if any, fall short of 8, 600 bales,
giving to the Government revenue Of
$50 900. The lessees will also pay to
the quartsrmaster's department for mules
and utensils furnished or found on the
place 100000. The charge in lieu Of
rent is Sc bale, making 8l7, 900. The
Government share. on some few planta-
tions abandoned BY the lessees may sell
for $4,000. ! desire that this money. or
~ much Of it as may be necessary, be set
aside as fund to pay the expenses OF this
year and of the year commencing Janua
~ l, 1864.
It is q significant fact, that while many
transports on the river have been fred in
to by the rebels, not = single shot has
been fred from tina. line of the river COW
cred by these plantations, extending for
As miles above Vicksburg, which shows
the importance to commerce of lining
the river with loyal population.

spectfully, your obedient servant,

SPEAKING THRoUaH TKARs.-An old
writer has truthfully remarked that We
may say what We please, if we speak
through tears. Tender tones prevent Sc
we're truths from offending. Hence
when we are most tender at heart. our
words are mos. powerful. Hence, one
great reason why our words have so much
more power during a revival than at 9th.
or times. Our hearts are more tender
then than they usually are-we feel more,
and it is easy for the impenitent to see
and feel that our hearts are interested in
'neir oehan. They feel that our words
are not mere lip words, but heart words.

manga
The Washington Correspondence o.
the Cincinnati Gazette has the follow.
ing:
There are one or two points concern
ing the battie Of Chickamauga, which
have never been understood here tall the
official reports cleared them up. One OF
them is why the battle was fought at all.
Th;s must now be we'll understood ia the
West; but here it was still unknown that
the battle had to be fought to get the army
concentrated in Chattanooga.
Another point is Gen. McCook's as.
signed reason for going to Chattanooga
while the battle was still in progress. He
says in his report that the last order he
received from General Rosecrans was to
support General Thomas, and having
made his dispositions to that end, to re-
port to him (Rosecans) in person. Gene
raj Rosecrans having gone to Chsttanoo-
ga, he intimates that he followed him
there to report. It is true that, after re-
ceiving this order, he had seen and con-
versed with Rosecrans in person on the
field, but not having improved this op-
portunity to make his report, it is still
technically true that when he came to dc
it lie had to 90 back to Chattanooga in
order to give literal obedience to his
order
How the line came to break in the mys-
teriously sudden way it did on the right
is also explained. 1t will be remembered
that, passing toward the right, Barnum's
