HERosn OF Two Unox Woxrx IN TxnrNn
Tiny SAVE THE 27fH I0wA.-1n travelling on
the cars from Bethel to Jackson, Tennessee, tie
Twenty Seventh Iowa Regiment was saved from
fearful loss Of life by the heroism Of couple
of Union women. The train was running in the
night time high rate Of speed, and just before
reaching railroad bridge, the Engineer saw a
couple Of lanterns being waved in the distance,
directly on the track. He stopped the locomo-
tive, and men we're sent ahead to ascertain the
cause of the alarm. They found that the Ian
terms were held by two women, who explained
to them that q party Of guerrillas in that vicini
ty had been informed OF the coming Of the regl
ment, and about eight o'clock that evening the
villains had set the bridge on fire, and allowed
the main timbers to burn 80 much that they
could rot bear the weight of the train, and then
put out the flames, and went away, hoping, OF
course, that the cars would run on the bridge,
that it would break down with the weight, and
thus kill and injure many Of the soldiers, and
prevent the ref iment from going through. The
noble women bad learned of these intentions,
and had walked ten miles, through the darkness
and mud, to save Union soldiers.
Of course the officers of the 9th Immediate
ly made arrangements to present their thanks in
a more tangible form than words But the Ia
dies refused all presents. They said that the
satisfaction of knowing that they hsd aided the
cause of their country, was sufficient for them
they only asked for an escort to their homes,
which was gladly furnished them.
How far above all praise is such conduct -
God only can sufficiently reward it-Dubuque
Times.

A Word TO DEsERrERs.-It is likely that de-
serters, who have so long been estray and treat
ed SO leniently, have come to imagine that
nothing more severe than very earnest coaxing
is to happen them, and that the Presidents pro
clamation giving them until the Let of April to
report themselves and fall into their places in
the army, is meaningless as some general orders
on the subject. But they are mistaken. The
time approaches when deserters will be dealt
with harshly. The people are greatly interested,
that they may tighten the coming CONSUMPTION,
in returning all deserters, and they will be hunt
ed up and down with relentless rgor tor which
they are not prepared, and they will be punish
ed in way that will be as novel as effective
Heretofore it hes been impossible to shoot a
deserter, without submitting his case to the
President, and the President has been tender
hearted and the sneaks have not been shot. The
commanders of departments are now authorized
to shoot deserters, and the shooting will COM
mence next month in earnest. The generals
commanding departments will make examples Of
those who may be convicted. Now, if the de-
serters do not wish to be hunted and shot, they
should make the best time possible in reaching
the rendezvous appointed for them. It's all
nonsense to suppose the little squads Of butter
nuts about the country who ere talking of af-
fording protection to the deserter can do any
thing Of the sort. They will be killed off like
mad dogs if they interfere.-Cin. Com.

HORRIBLE BEATH OF MINIsTER.-This morn
Ing the remains of the Rev. Mr.. Schildtpect, a
German Preacher, were brough ito this city from
the junction and deposited in the sub-police
station on North street. He came to his death
as llows:-Last night between Z and o'cloch
some men passing near cattle guard in the
track of the Chicago and Rock Island railroad,
just beyond the Junction, were attrcted by loud
cries for help. Down the track they discovered
the headlight Of train that was approaching
with the speed of the wind, and as it neared the
spot, the cries for help grew louder and more
iagonizing. They rushed upon the track and
found that the Minister named above had fallen
between the timbers Of the guard, and all their
efforts to push him down through or to pull him
out were unavailing. Their combined strength
was not sufficient to extricate him, and the fatal
train dashed on, cutting off both legs just below
the knees, and killing him instantly. The Coro
ner's inquest, which will be held at o'clock
this afternoon, will probably elicit more infor>
nation than We are now able to give.-[Chicago

Indian Attacks,

Indian Attacks,
We find the following in the Brownville IN.
To Advertiser, of the 18th instant:
FoRT HAILEcK, N. T.,l
Feb 2lst, 1868.
T. R. F1sHER:-On the 10th instant, thirty
two Yute Indians surrounded Pass Creek Mail
Station, ten miles west of the Fort, and took
ten head of mules and horses. Twenty minutes
after the arrival of the news, Captain Allen
started twenty-five soldiers, under command OF
Lieut.. Brandy, in pursuit Of them.
1t is to be deeply regretted that we are not
better supplied with troops, and the necessary
munitions Of war. The Indians are, and will on
the appearance of spring. become troublesome,
to the Overland Stage Lines, and the ensuing
emigration; therefore, if possible, sufficient
force should be ready to render protection at a
moments warning. If this is neglected the de,
struction of life and plumber will suypass any
thing of tie kind, which has ever happened in
the history of Indian marauding and murder
3 A. 8. HOLIDAY,
A. A. Surgeon, q. S. A.
P. S:-Since writing the above Lieut.. Brandy
has been brought in from the North Platte
badly wounded. Captain Allen left immediately
for the camp Of the Indians with twenty FIVE
more men. Messengers were sent to Laramie
for reinforcements. We are only about ffteer
strong at the Fort tonight. A. S. d.

tits stated tina: from the fax raised on one
acre Of ground about fourteen bushels of seed
can be obtained, and for the seed alone the
crop is not unremunerative. Six hundred
pounds of fibre can be raised upon one acre OF
ground. At thirty cents per pound (one-th;rd
that of cotton at present prices) the value of
an acres product would not be less than one
hundred and eighty dollars. Never before has
such an inviting prospect for the cultivation OF
aax been presented
