CAIRO, January 18, 1868.
From pilot who came up on the Ram
Switzerland, we have report, which, If true,
is Of considerable importance. You hare al-
ready been informed that while preparations
are going forward for another important
movement upon the Mississippi River, Gen.
McClcrnand with part OF the late force OF
Gen. Sherman, has passed up White River to
strike of thence to the Arkansas River with
the intention Of engaging some point held by
the Confede1ates.
According to the news just received, Gen.
McClcrnands passage was undlspnted, until
Monday, when near Arkansas Post, where OBJ
structions presented themselves in the shape
Of substantial works, md masked batteries.
An engagement cnsued, which was particl-
pated in by our gunboats on the Arkansas.
Under cover Of their guns, Gen. AIcClcr-
nand's men were landed, and came up boldly
to the works, stormed tho batteries and en-
bankments, and after hard fighting, drove the
Confederates from their guns, clambcrcd over
the ride pits, and occupied the place, captur-
ing those who could not make their escape
The prisoners taken are 1000 in number.
The rebel loss Is unknown, but must hayo
been large. j.. <:.,.
:. The Fede7al loss we place at200.
1tis good enough to be true. If it is. the
next arrival Of boat from Memphis, nov
awaited with impatiencc, must bring Official
intelligence from McClcrnand.
CAIRO, Jan. 16.-Thc RAIN Switzerland ar.
rived 1hfs evening from the squadron. She

Time has brought about the revelation
for which Truth and Justice have waited.
NC hnyc now the secret history relative to
the ill-sta17cd campaign in the Peninsula.
Its origin, conception, and the i'll omens
that brooded over the project from the
first, arc all brought to the Light Of day,
and the expose is crushing one for the
young ex-Napo1eon and his friends
Read the manly, dignided and earnest
protest Of the President in his letter to
Mcclellan, explaining why Mcdowell was
detained at Fredericksburg, on the line be-
tween Richmond and Washington. Com
pare it with the course Of the commander
Of the Army Of the Potomac, and you hare
the raah, headstrong wilfulness Of narrow
and selfish mind contrasted with one ear
nest only to know in which line lay the
safety Of the county.
What becomes now Of the persistent and
infamous bclaborings Of the :Admin;stra-
ton by. its enemies, and loyal men with
mistaken zeal? This is why Mcdowell
was not sent. Read it for yourselves.
Twenty thousand unorganized men with
out single field battery, left to defend
the capital against an active enemy, while
Mcclellan was busted with his cemetery
for Federal soldiers in tho Peninsula.
This letter is brought out in the Mellow

important and conclusive exposures Of the

nails forever tho base caIunlnies upon

CANTEHN.

TIE word ''canteen" has had curious
history. 1t is perhaps the only word in
our language, which, originally English,
passed into foreign tongue, and was al
terward taken back in a modified form.
as originally spoken by the Saxon, It was
simply tn can, but the Gaubas is his wont,
placing the noun before the adjective and
pronouncing the letter las brought out as
can tin, pronounced canteen. Adopting a
thousand other French military terms, the
dull English man took back his own ori-
ginal word in new shape, without any
inquiries on the subject, and hence we
now say canteen instead OF tin can.
