FROM CAIRO.


Holly Springs on Friday morning, We have re-.
liable information from that quarter. Grants
entire army had fallen back north of Talla-
hatchie and mcst Of it had reached Holly
Springs.
Rumor says that part of them bad reached
Cold Water ard that probably the bulk of the
army is or their way to Memphis.
1t is supposed that Grant will open road
from Memphis to Grand Junction and make
Memphis the base of supplies
Rosecran's inactivity is much complained of
in Grants Department, the charge being that
but for this the Rebels could not have spared
force to cut off Grants supplies.
Intelligence of definite nature had reached
here that q large Federal force had started up
the river from New Orleans, under command of
Farrsgut. d
The vicksburg Wing of the 18th says that
IA gunboats and s!oops were at Baton Rouge
yesterday, and it was thought troops were be-
ing sent below. The Essex started up the river
for Port Hudson, and we suppose as soon as the
land force is disembarked the whole feet will
move up and the attack will be made by land
and water.
Late information says that Port Hudson was
taken, being completely demolished by our gun
boats, and that about sixty c nnon were cap
tured.
Sherman has undoubtedly reached bis desti-
nation ere this. and we expect to hear within
the next 4s hours that Vicksburg is taken. Far.
ragut was IL miles below at latest accounts.
JEFF DAVIS and Gen. johnson were at Jackson
on the 18th.
The passengers and crew Of Lake City AZ in
nu ber are at Vcksburg in Jail.
Gen. Holmes, whose headquarters are on
w bite river, has issued an order instructing all
persons claiming protection Of the Confederate
authorities to move their slaves and property
west of White river Many have complied, but
large portion were unable or unwilling to.
The Confederates have abandoned the country
between the White and Mississippi rivers, and
as consequence there was rush of cotton
to the river, notwithstanding the stringent law
just passed by the Arkansas Legislature, that
any one trading with the Federals, either buying
or selling, shall he fined not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000, and be sent to pententisry
for not less than years nor more than 26 years.
The people Of Arkansas are in great want and
destitution. ,@
On the 2Osh, Van Dorm attacked the garrison
at Davis Mills. It was commanded by Colonel
Morgan, of the 25th Indiana. His force con-
sisted of the 25th, his own men, and the 25th
Ohio cavalry. A severe battle ensued, in which
Van Dorn was repulsed with 20 killed aud 80
wounded, who were left on the field. A num-
ber Of their wounded were carried off Federal
Casualties were three slightly wounded.
We have reliable information that Van Dorm
is some where in the country north OF the Mem
pbis and Charleston road and between Batavia
and the river.
Affairs on the road between Columbus and
jackson are unchanged. The rebels still hold
the road, and in such force as to defy attack.
From Columbus, We learn that New Madrid
was evacuated last night-the magazine was
up and the BARRACKS burned.
The Burlington weekly hawk-eye., 1863-01-03

We understand that Col. Hill, of the s5th
Iowa, Is now in command at Cairo, a. acting
Brigadier General, in place of General Tuttle,
who is absent with the troops at Columbus. We
hope at no distant day to an, announce the promo
Brigadier General. He will show himself wor-
thy Of it, if an opportunity offers on the field.

MILWAUKEE & PRAIRIE Do CHEN ELE-
vAToR.-This building on the opposite
bank of the river is now completed, except
the exterior wall Of brick. 1t is the lar
gest and most complete elevator west of
Lake Michigan, aud attests alike the en-
terprise of the r. r. Company, and the
immense business of the Upper Mississippi
that is tributary to this road.
The building is SIS by l85 feet, resting
on wall Of solid masonery five feet thick,
is so feet high above low water mark, and
has capacity of 100000 bushels. 1t is
built in the most perfect and substantial
manner, furnished with the best and most
approved machinery for elevating, and
EIGHT of Fairbanks I25 bushel Hopper
scales, which for style and finish excel any
thing we have before seen. In this the
company have shown their usual discre-
ton and judgment, by securing to shippers
the certainty that they will get correct
soeight--a very important consideration
with those who have produce to sell or
send to market.-Mc Gregor Times.

DISCONTINUED WITH EMPLOYMENT
A young man who commences his life
with not liking his business, has no very
promising prospects before him. Let such
a one believe himself to be under the i'm
mediate influence of can evil eye" and set
about releasing himself at once by a reso-
lutte refusal to entertain any thoughts but
such as appertain to duty, clearly before
him, and how to do il well and honestly.
1t is great mistake to be prepossessed
with fanciful advantages to be derived
from any other calling than the one which
circumstances have combined to imopse as
an introduction to the busy responsibilities
of manhood. How many have made ship
reck Of the fairest hopes by feebly giving
way to the delusion Of being meant for
better things than keeping shop. To be
above ones business is a mean pride that
has its origin in incidence, betokens dis
honorable career, and an end in bankruptcy,
if not in something worse.

The Power Of Justice.

1t hath been well said by colored ora
tor that "one man in The right is major
ity-in the wrong the majority is always a
minority" An ounce Of gun-powder, prop
erly confined and fred, shattereth mount
ain. Tie tighter a hoop is driven the
stronger the vessel, but the hoop bursteth
and, then what! Unjust foundations are
the weakest Of any; the more you build
upon them the more you heap up iniquity
till there appearsth gulf instead Of pile.
One just man buried beneath an empire
sleeps but till his day Of justice cometh ;
then he riseth TO rock and split that empire.
The world heard Jesus and grew alarmed
at His justice ard plain speaking; great
kings moved by majorities hung him to a
tree; death oyercame him and he was buri-
cd in Joseph's new tomb. Oh how the ty-
rants reioiced that the days Of their tor
mentor had been ended But the third
day He arose without their consent, told a
feeble minority of followers what to do and
then went to heaven. The power Of that
same sIumbering Jesus has since filed the
Garth. The Roman Empire was soon dis
solved beneath the shock and became a
menagerie; the son of slave mother gain
ed the Purple, and from his throne went
order upon order to stab the hearts of those
who had offended his ancestors. An IN
suited, crueifed God was thus avenged by
such means as the son OF slave, he a sue
cessor to the ten glorious Cesars, pagan
at that. Was not this humiliation with a
vengeance! Democrats Of America, you
have risen upon the neck of the slaves, have
taken the Purple and worn it, have fallen
and your first born is the forfeit. You
aim to rise again upon protested hatred
to the slave; if God lets you win, the for
felt will be the enslayement of yourself and
generations, which is worse than death.
Harder than this to your pride, a slave son
may rise and succeed to the place once fill
ed by Jefferson and Jackson, and there
may be none to pity you. Europe may
then refuse to intervene. Northern men OF
God and Liberty may then be unable to
more than forbid such calamity, for at
that time Divine Justice may decide that
"oae man in the right is a majority" and
that the small stone that rolled from the
mountain shall be the chief corner to the
ediice Of ruin. Your democracy is hard
to conquer, but that majority of one in the
light is a hard master because God is there
in whom you believe not trust not, hear
not in the Storm see not in the evening
clouds.

able portion Of the year, and their appear
ance, convenience and comfort exert d con-
trolling influence over all who receive their
flrst rudiments. Pleasant and commodi-
GUS school houses have strong tendency
to attach children to the school, TO their
studies, and to virtue; therefore, sthe
school house should be located on piece
OF ground Of liberal dimensions, at suit
able distance from the road, in the midst
OF natural or artificial grove, encircled by
a suitable fence" 1t should be not less
than 20 by 80 feet on the ground, and 10
orl2 feet from the floor to the ceiling, for
the accommodation of fifty pupils. It
should be supplied with convenient ven
tllator; be seated with proper seats, so
that no two persons can sit together; and
oe furnished with blackboard and other
appropriate furniture; but a blackboard
should never be found wanting, for a black
board is to aschool room what a cook
stove or fireplace is to a kitchen. In a
word, If there is house in district more
pleasantly located, more comfortably con-
structed, more inviting in its general ap-
pearance, and more elevating in its inhu-
ence than any other, that house should be
the school house.
But it is remarkable fact, which to me
is self-evideut, that, though the school
house may be all that heath, convenience
and comfort demand; though the teachers
may be perfect in scholarship, system, GOV
eminent, tact and talent; though their
moral power may be equal TO that ola
saint; and though ali other demands may
be gratifed, yel our schools can never pros

worthless, until parents visit their schools
co-operote with theil teachers, and require
their children % be regular in their al

These and other matters, do pray that
the patrons Of schools may well understand /;
for l have an abiding faith that the time
will soon come when our teachers will not

but join the teachers in then onward and

where the united strength Of both parties

victory and glory.

Marcus &. FITcH, member OF compa-
ny ID SD Reg't Wis. Vols, age nineteen
years, departed this life December 10Th,
1862 at Oxford Hospital. Disease, water
on the brain.
AT meeting of the members of Com
pany d to express their grief and regret for
The loss Of their brother soldier, and their,
sympathy for his relatives and many friends
the following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That by the untimely death
Of this man, our brother soldier, we have
lost cheerful companion. kind, warn,
and true friend and dutiful, faithful AID
patient member of our company; that he
has been a true and noble man, good and
brave soldier.
Resolved, That by bis death we are
sorely grieyed, and deeply sympathize with
his parents, brothers and sisters, and large
circle of frjends-those young aud cheerful
as himself whom he babe last farewell as
he left Bridge Port the Goth Of Sept. 1862
Resolved, That we believe we have this
consolation, which is enough, to offer those
who mourn the loss of our friend: From
the manner in which he has lived since he
entered the ranks and The service Of bis
country, we believe that for so long a time
at least, he has been a christian: that, all
though his name is stricken from our "roll"
forever, we believe it is written upon a bet
ter, an everlasting rolp' from which the
Captain will never permit il to be taken;
and that his friends, if faithful in the dis
charge of the duties made known TO them
by Him who rules all things, viii meet him
10 that region whers scant rations, long
marches aud hard duties are not imposed
upon its faithful soldiers and happy inhab-
itapts.
RESOLVED, That we desire and intend to
so discharge our duties before God and
man as to be permitted to greet him at
home in heaven where never more we will
have to mourn his loss.
ResolVed, That we send copy Of this
to the Grant Comfy Herald for publica-
ton.

The STRUGGLE FOR VIcKsBURG.- JEFF.
Davis addressed the Mississippi Legislature
on the goth uIt, on the war, at great
length. Among other things, he said !:
That when he arrived 10 the State Grants
army was pouring down upon them, but
when he went up TO Grenada nothing could
be seen Of them but their backs. He had
discovered that their real point of attack
was Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and all
who desired to save the Southern Confed-
eracy must hasten there and lend helping
hand. These places must be saved at all
hazards, because ifthey were lost the Con-
federacy would be cut IN two. He dwelt
at great length, the reporter says, on the
importance ,f holding these points. If
they stand, the people Of the northwest
will grow FESTIVE and become discouraged,
and cease to support the war and demand
ar end to the contest. To the northwest
be looked for the first CLEAN Of peace"
Therefore Vicksburg must be he'd at all
hazards.
