The will Of Nicholas Longworth was all
m;t,ed to probate to-day. He leaves all bis
property TO his widow and children, and not
one cent to any charitable or benevolent OBJ
icct. His estate Is estimated from six to
seven millions. He leaves Lis widow the
homestead, and an annuity Of $1,000, free
from all taxes. The balance is divided be-
tween her son Joseph Longworth, his
daughters, Mrs. Flagg and Mrs. 1arz Andcr-
son, and his grand son, John L. stettinas. He
Gives his faithful colored servant, who has
been with him over twenty years, the pititul
sum Of $500. To the children Of deceased
sister, he gives $500 cacl. The bill WAS exc
cutel III 1859, with codical in 1862. From
his great wealth, it was supposed that he
would have endowed OF founded some col
lcge, hospital, or other public institution, or
left lcgacics to the many benevolent societies
in our city, but he has not. His charitable
acts during his life time were few, and were
more the results Of his czcentEicities than OF

Especial Diepstca to the Chicago T1i',une.1
MEMPHIS, Eco. II, 1sS3,
The new gunboat 1ndianola followed the
example Of the Queen of the West and run
the blockade at Vicksburg. The feat was
performed on Friday night. She started at II
O'Clock. TWAS dark, drizzly, foggy night,
but manned by unquailing hearts, she started
On her perilous voyage, with watclfu1 eyes
on her fires. The 1nlianola, in spite Of tile
precautions, was seen. Tic signal passed
from battery to battery; then came the roar
Of artillery and the iron rain. Every battery
We'd with each other in their efforts to sink
the boat, which dchantly Aoated, dark, su1lcn,
md determined, down the Mississippi. The
deep, dcafening rererberationa told how great
an effort the beleauguercd enemy we're ma
King. So mighty was the shock that steam
boats quiyered from stem to stern five miles
distant.
The Indianola safely passed the fiery ordeal
and reached her destination-thc mouth Of
the canal. It is a great feat, and promises
tho best results.
Two MILES ABOVE E1cEsBrEa. Feb. II,
VIA CAIRO, Feb. II, 1858. !
To-day there arc many Indications In the
feet Of an Immediate movement, which seems,
however, independent Of the army. Perhaps
1Jaincs' Bluff battery, On the Yazoo River, is
| to be attacked, and thus render it possible for
our vessels, during the present high stage Of
| wafer, to ascend the stream aud destroy a
large number Of rebel vessels laying in it.
! There seems no reason why such movement
should not have been inauguratcd before, with
The army all quiet and nothing but the canal
digging going on.

great proportion Of which is the smallpox.
