EIIeps Marine Brigade n
Rebel Force, and pats them a. highs.
CAIRO, April 80.
The Marine Brigade returned to Fort Hen
ry Yesterday from a reconnaissance up the
Tennessee River. The boats went as far as
PASSPORT, destroying mills and distilIeries, and
skirlnishing with guerillas.
They report Gen. Dodge near Tuscumbia,
securing the country with cavalry.
The rebel Gen, Woodward has 1,400 Tex
an Rangers between the Cumberland and Tens
nessee livers, with four pieces of artillery,
two l0-pound Parrot guns, and two 12-pound
h owitZers. On last Saturday he had divided
his force, stationing part at a point two miles
below the mouth OF Duck River, on the Ten
nessee, under the command of Major White,
while he, with the other division, was sta
toned at Green Cotton Bar, twelve miles be-
low MS. i AsGen. Hlets Marine Brigade came
down the river, Major Whites force fired af-
ter his boats, mistaking them for transports,
and calculating ON their easy capture. The
boats returned the fire with guns and sharp
shooters. The Autocrat, the flagship, was
struck MN times with solid shot her pilot
house e~ignty-four, and her texas a hundred
and twenty-four times with musket balls
The Diana, the next boat, was struck with
shot six times, and the Adams twice. As soon
as the rebels discovered their mistake, they
fed in utter confusion. Col. ElIets cavalry
landed two miles below, and pursued; but
the rangers We're too feet. They threw aside
coats, saddles, brides, everything, in their
flight. We lost two killed and four wound
ed. The rebel loss that we know of was ten
killed and twenty wounded. Major White
was mortally wounded.
Gen, Ellet has destroyed every grist and
saw-milL, and every distillery on the Upper
Tennessee, besides half a million feet of lum-
Der.
The towns of Hamburg. and Eastport are
entirely destroyed.

Democracy of the Right sort.

Nathaniel B. Baker, formerly Democratic
Governor Of New Hampshire, now Adjutant
General of Iowa, has written an eloquent let
ter upon the duty Of Democrats to sustain
the Government. He puts the case in a way
to make the copperhead Democracy squirm;
Il propose no conditions to my loyalty. l
may have differed from the administration in
some points on the conduct Of the war, but
that should make no difference with a man if
he intends to give the Government his unwa-
vering support. | shall not make public dec
l~arations in favor of a vigorous prosecution of
this war to suppress the rebellion, and then
publicly or privately utter traitorous and bit
ter denunciations of the President and the
Government. | have no faith in the man
who says he supports the Government, and,
finds fault because there were calls for volun-
Etcers. | do not credit the man who says he
is loyal, and opposes the volunteering taxa
ton, issuing bills Of credit, consumption, and
all the methods to raise armies and means to
sustain the Nation The man who finds fault
with every effort Of the Government to sus-
tain itself, and then declares himself a Union
man, must either be non colapoS, or falsehearted
and a ~falsifier Of his own opinions. | never
could distinguish the difference between one
Of this class of supporters of Government
and an avowed disunionist, except in this
that the latter had the most dishonesty,
aud the former, the most impudeuce.

The Circmit COurt.-The Circuit Court tor
this county, opened its semi-aunual session at the
Court House on Monday OF this week, Hon. David
Noggle presiding Judge.
We are informed that there are in the calender
about one hundred cases. 1t is said two or three
of them will be tried and taken to the Supreme
Court, that the questions involved in the cases
may be settled by that tribunal. The most inn
portant is the murder case of tie State VS.. Shear
or. We believe this is the first murder case that
has been on the criminal calendar of this county
since 1851. We are told that Judge Wooster,
Mr.. Shearer s counsel, will move for a change OF
Venue to some other county, in his case.
We have heard of no other important CRIMINAL
cases at this term Of the court.

The HEenageric.-The Menagerie Tes-of
Of course, Mabie is coming here with his bigm me-
nagerie of beasts and birds and snakes, and other
filings too numerous to mention. do you re,
member when the last show of this kind came
along We do; it was in 1854, nine years ago.
We were a bachelor then, just as spruce as the
rest Of that genus. We put on a stiff cellar, and
moseyed for two of the %prettiest gals in town.
OF course we lad previously provided ourselves
with plenty of peanuts and candy. Thus equipped
we entered Barnum's big tent with our Dulcineas
and showed them the animals. 1t seems now as
if the amusements of that time were just as fresh
and enjoyable as in our childhood. We now have
a young soldier who is just as anxious to see the
elephant as we ever were, and go he must. The
big tent will doubtless be crowded, for we expect
to see all of our friends from town and country
there. There is no place where yeu get your
moneys worth as easily, as in seeing the strangt
and wild productions of the forests of every part
of the world.

The true objects Of the leaders Of the re-
bellion are pretty plainly indicated BY The fol-
ing extracts from Dc BOWS Reuie,c, which is
their especial organ. We commend them to
the attention Of the men of the Notth who
are giving their countenance to rebels aud
traitors under the belief that they are Demo-
crate. What they would do If they could,
may be inferred from what De--Bow says Is
right and true:
The real civilization Of . country is In ils
aristocraey. The masses are moulded into
soldiers and a1tizans BY intellect, just rs mat-
ter aid the elements Of nature are. made Into
telegraphs and steam engines: The: poor,
who labor all day, arc too tired at night to
study books, Hyou make them learned they
soon forget all that IS not necessary in the
common Transactions Of life.
To make I'm aristocrat in the future we
must sacrifice thousand p1upers. Yet We
would by all mems make thclu-.make them
permanent, too, by laws Of entail and primo
genitu1e.
The right to govern resides In very small
minority the duty to obey Is inherent In the
crest masses Of mankind.
All government begins with usprpation,
aud ia continued BY force.
There Is nothing to which the South En-.
terta1ns 60 great . dislike a. universal sut-
tfsge. Wherever foreigners settle toRsther
III lnrge numbers, there universal suffrage

He is no patriot who talters now. When

focwhom our yalor has oyerborne, and to
arrest the arm nplined for its destruction,
might be magnanimous though un1uss'
But to make misfortune to ourselvesTa
misfort,rne which more va1or and more

Hesitation ,of cowardice and treason which

fight this battle out to triumphant issue,
cost what the task may, is duty which
no loyal man can feel that he does not
