The News.

The war news this week is meagre. The
whole north was thrilled, on Monday morning
with the announcement that Charleston was
taken. Subsequent reports have not confirm
ed the intelligence, and we are at last forced
to confess the falsity Of the rumor. In the
southwest, matters are about IN STUN qu0, and
the same may be said of the army all along
the lines.
The following is the latest from Charleston

EDS. TELEGRAPH Permit me to bear tribute
to the two deceased members of Co. Ii. SD WIS
VoIs.-NoRMAN JOHNSON and JOHN A. GRAY:
1t was my fortune to know them well, and II Is
a melancholy satisfaction for me to testify of their
virtues and worth. But u few months since, these
forms now cold by the stilling touch Of Death,
marched valianlly forth TO breast the fury OF re-
bellion, and these hearts that now have madetheir
last offering for the veal of our unhappy country
glowed with the fire of patriotism and were buoy>
ant with hope. Rejoicing in the vigor OF early
manhood, they have fallen aud shall be known 10
more among us. Their virtues remain bright up
on the record of their short lives and their Names
are "graven immortal with those of our patriot
dead to whom liberty and country were dearer
than life. Eyes that were wont to gaze with fond
| affection upon the departed are now dlmmed with
tears ties that during years of happiness have
been knit closer and closer, are now sundered =
and over a future of golden promise has fallen q
thick. dark veil. There are vojds iii the heart
there are vacant chairs i'll the househoid-ther
are blighted hopes, but sweet and sacred memo
ries remain which time can ne'er efface. A gra:e'
tai land will ever wave above their graves hel
hammered stars, while zoe may remember-and there
is Joy in the memory-that they are welcomed tC
a land where storm and strife are ended and where
the smile of Omnipotence is peace ndJoy forever
The wall of sorrow that, during long months, ina
arisen from the homes of the land, has hitherto
hardly broken upon the quiet of Kenosha County
but the dark wing of the Archangel Death now
hovers over two cherries hearthstones and hearts
are wrung with anguish.
Every southern breeze bears sad tales ofdeath
to many happy homes, for the noblest of our land
falling. Surely our country is passing through
that "baptism of blood and martyrdom Of fire.
which will make it a Republic free, pure, and per
petual, the constant abode Of liberty, surprising
even the Utopian dreams of philosophers. Mean
while let the true be more firm and unyielding and
the faithful more untiring in effort, that ere long
poans of peace may soften the pangs Of sorrow, and
a restored Union remain forever 4 fitting monur
ment to the memory of our honored dead.

Our exchanges from all places along the
great Lakes and Rivers, announce the fact
that the ice has pretty much if not entirely
disappeared. This is cheering news, anc
comes much earlier than we are accustomed tc
expect it. The commercial business of the

soon see the steamers daily landing at our

Steamers into the work, the others are expec-

Chicago and Two Rivers. or Green Bay, will
soon have the pleasure of doing so by water.

A bombardment commenced at 2 o'clock
p. m. yesterday and continued until 5 o'clock
pm.
The enemy fred slowly, our batteries re-
piled.
At 70 o'clock last night most desperate
engagement took place. -
The enemy endeayored to pass our batteries
under cover Of the darkness. The firing was
most terrific, and lasted over hours.
One gun boat succeeded in passing In o
damaged condition.
/ The U, S. Steam Frigate Mississippi, was
set on FIRE and burnt to the waters edge.
One large vessel was completely riddled-a
third badly crippled, and the rest driven back.
AT 2 o'clock the enemy withdrew. Our
victory is complete and glorious.
So FIR as known there are no casualties on
our side.
The boat that passed lie doubtless so badly
disabled as to render her achievement fruit
