A Horrible Mystery Brought to Light.

About eighteen months ago, little
girl named LORNA Rose, aged eight
years, living with her widowed moth
or in Rock Island. left home one day
for the purpose of gathering chips for
kindling fires. She left with the in
teniiion of going to wagon-maker's
shop. where she expected to get a
supply. She never returned home,
nor was she ever seen alive after
wards. Search was made by her anx-
ious mother in all directions, but she
was finally given up, the supposition
being that she bad got drowned.
On last Saturday parties wishing
to rent the wagon-maker's shop Of j.
G. Johnson, in viewing the premises
up stairs, found an old shcct-iron box.
which upon being opened was found
to contain human bones aud scraps Of
clothing. The bones were evidently
those Of child about eight or ten
years Of age. and the scraps Of cloth
ing were identified by the mother of
the missing girl as similar to those
worn by the child when it left home.
Steps were Immediately taken for the
arrest Of Mr.. Johnson, and an officer
was dispatched for him.. When the
officer told johnson that he was want
ed at the Justices Office, he became
very much agitated and turned as
pale as death. A short preliminary
examination was held, and he was
ordered to Jail.
The excitement among the citizens
ran high for time, and it was with
much trouble that the angry crowd
could be restrained from dealing SUM-
marily with the prisoner, but better
Judgement finally prevailed and he
was locked up, in the county Jail to
await trial. @
The man's character is said to be
bad and immoral. lie has upon sew
eral occasions been suspected of try
ing toinduce girls to enter his shop with
yillainous purpose in view and up
on one occasion particularly was this
suspicion made positive by his actions
towards a littlc girl who. not long ago,
had gone to his shop for the purpose
of getting chips and little blocks.
The fellow will have fair trial. and
If found guilty we trust he may re-
ceive the punishment this atrocious
crime deserves.

Victory at Port Hudson. Miss.

A despatch in the n. o. Era of the
oath ult., dated at Port Hudson Plains,
May 22d, says Yesterday Auger's
whole division was engaged in a nine
hours fight, on the Port Hudson Plains,
four miles in the rear of Port Hudson,
on the Bayou Sara road. The rebels
were thoroughly whipped, and left
large number Of killed and and woun.
ded on the field. The rebel General
Gardner sent in flag of truce at
midnight, asking permission to bury
their dead. We took 1000 prisoners.
The enemy were driven three miles
from their first position, and Anger
bivouacked on the field of battle. Our
loss was IL killed and fifty-six wound
ed. The ll6th New York and End
Louisiana suffered most. Our men
fought with great bravery.
We have Port Hudson dates to the
29th, A. M. At that time Banks had
entirely invested the position, resting
his two wings on the river above and
below the fort. "
Our gunboats were bombarding the
Notifications from the river, and Gen
eral Banks was laundering with his al.
tillery in the rear. The rebel garrison
is said to be $4,000 strong, and was
entirely hemmcd in, with no chance of
escape. General Banks had built two
lines of decentralization to protect his
rear, and was in excellent spirits, and
hopeful Of entire success.
On the cath, after furious cannon.
AIDE, the rebels offered to surrender if
they could be allowed to march out
with the honors of war.
General Banks desired uncondition-
al surrender. Subsequently, he sent
flag of truce renewing this demand,
when the enemy replied they would
hold the position while enough re-
NAMED to man the guns.
A Cairo dispatch of June 9th says !:
The rumor is brought up by the
General Lyon, that General Banks and
Farragut, combined, had captured Port
Hudson, after several days hard fight
ing, but the capture is rather apocry-
phal, and wants confirmation.

A Brave and Gallant Act.

Lieut.. Col. II. G. Warmoth, of Gen.
Netherlands staff, states an interest
ing incident of the fight of the 22d ult.,
to about this effect Sergeant Joseph
Griffith, of company ], 22d Iowa, took
eleven men. and with them drove q
squad of rebel gunners from an earth
work, and held it for some time. The
rebels were reinforced, and returning,
killed the eleven men, Griffith being
knocked inscnsible to the ground.
The rebels occupied the work and con.
tinued to fire at onr men. Just as
they all discharged their pieces Grit
fifth returned to consciousness, and
selling his musket, jumped to his feet
and demanded that they should sur,
render. Their muskets being empty
and his loaded, he forced them, ten in
number, TO comply. He made them
lie down and stay there until he found
convenient opportunity to march
them within the Federal lines, which
he did in safety. Besides this, he
killed one Captain by shooting him,
and knocked down two with the stock
of his musket.
Griffith is represented as. quite a
youth, but we can see that he is not
lacking in courage.
Many incidents of this character
find their way into print but few sc
we'll authenticated as this, for the en-
tire truth of which Col. Warmotl
vouches personally.

A COMMAND FOR GENERAL Fremont
A committee, consisting of Horace
Greeley, w. G. Bryant, Mayor Opdykc,
and Daniel S. Dickinson, have applied
to the President to give a command to
General Fremont, at some point where
ne can rally around him the negroes of
the country. The President declared
that he wonld gladly receive into the
service, notten thousand, but ten times
ten thousand colored troops, and ex-
pressed his determination to protect
all who enlisted, saying that he looked
to them for esse ntial service in finish
ing the war. He believed that the
command of them afforded scope for
the highest ambition, and he would
with all his heart offer it to General
Fremont.

The Distributing Postoffice.

The Distributing Postoftice at Dubuque has
been abolished. This is an outrage upon the
rights of the Northern half of Iowa which
cannot be tolerated. and the instigators of it
viii be marked. Charles City Inteliigencer.
We suppose the Inteligcncer refers
to the circle of its acquaintance. We
are sure that all the people of this Vi
entity felt unconcealed joy over the
item of news which announced the
discontinuance of the Dubuque dis
tributing office. 1t has ever been a
source of annoyance and vexation to
the business men of this portion Of
Northern Iowa, that their mail matter
shuuid frequently come by way of
Dubuque instead of the direct mail
route by M. and Pr. du Chen Railway.
In the summer time by the Dubuque
route the mail was only detained
twelve to twenty.four hours, but in
the winterit required the patience of
Job to await the arrival Of Eastern
mails across the country, by irregular
stage routes. In view of these cir
cumstances we feel safe in saying the
discontinuance of the Dubuque Dis
tributing Office can be " tolerated. -
McGregor Times.
We must confess to our semi-secesh
contemporary that the circle of our
acquaintance is small, and when we
penned the item credited to us above
it did not occur to us that McGrcgor
might be part Of Northern Iowa. II
is generally supposed that McGrcgor
belongs to Minnesota, otherwise that
place would not build so many rail
roads for the exclusive benefit of that
State, albeit, much of the work has
been done with Floyd county money.
