liant events OF the Goth inst, 50 successful ia

the commanding General 10 thank this army for
their conduct through the severe experiences of
the past seventeen days, to assure them of the
important bearing it has had on the campaign
in the West and to give them the nows OF the
great victory gained by Gen. Grant toward
WHICH their foriiiude and their bravery have in
high degree contributed
In every light in which they have been en-
gagged, and recently in those near Knoxville, at
Loudon, at Campbelrs Station, and anany
around the defences on both sides of the river.
while on the march, and in cold and in hunger,
they have everywhere shown q spirit which has
given to the Army Of the Ohio q name second
to none.
BY holding in check a powerful body of the
enemy, they have seriously weakened the Rebel
army under Bragg, which has been completely
defeated by General Grant, aud at She latest ac-
counts was iu full retreat for Dalton, closely
pursued by him, with the loss of 6,00O prison

which the Army Of the Ohio has done so much.
the Commanding General oongratulates them.

and courage in the dangers they may yet have
to meet, looks forward with confidence, under
the blessing of Almighty God, to successful
close of the campaign.

A SHORT FAMILY HISTORY.

Every man killed in this war makes n vacant
niche in some household We realize that every
Union soldier who is snatohed up from the bat
tle-feld is missed and m0urned by loving parents
sisters and friends. The same is true Of those
who perish in the vain attempt to overthrow
their Government. We are led to these refec-
tons by reading the following touching scrcp of
family history recorded in the Richmond En-.
quirer:
Happening to step in at one of the public of
fees of the city yesterday, in which kind,
Supplemented, grey-haired, and humble old
man has been employed for many years, we
struck upon the war as passing topic, when the
old gentleman, who was sweeping up the rub

an easy, quiet resignation, that WIS truly touch.

when this war broke out, and house of my
own, and slave woman. | had son, and q
fine man he was at least, they all said so. But
the thousand dollars soon dwindled awny to
nothing, somehow and now that the woman is
gone. and my son is dead, suppose the house
will go next if l don't look sharp. He was

We thought he was mighty lucky. He came

A NATIONAL sALuTE

On Tuesday last, by order of General Gilmore,
the commanders of the various batteries and
artillery companies fired a national salute Of
thirty five guns in honor of the splendid victo-
ry Of General Grant. The firing commenced at
II NJ, and lasted for about one hour The
field artillery was placed in position on the
beach AMI fired blank cartridges II was other
wise, however, with the heavy artillery mounted
in Forts Putnam, Strong, and other works on
Morris Island, it being the design OF General
Gilmore to further acquaint the enemy with the
superiority OF his pieces and the skill Of his
guuners, while he rejoced over his de feht Mt
Chattanooga. Not gun was changed from its
direct bearing on the rebel forts. Every rebel
work received more or less shots from our pieces
until the salute ended. Neither did Charleston
itself escape the compliments paid that day to
jeff. Davis and his minions. Fort Putnam took
special care that the explosion of dozen shells,
at least, should resOund over the head of the
frightened inhabitants Whether the rebels sur
missed the sgnfcanoy of the firing We know
not, but we are certain they were greatly sur
prised at hearing the simultaneous reports of 30
many guns and, judging from their hesilaucy
to reply. they must have anticipated an attack,
and hardly know at which point to concentrate
their troops. Before the firing had ceased on
cur part, the rehel batteries on James Island
opened a return fire on Morris Island which
was soon after followed by the batteries on Sui
liyans Island Only the ordinary exchange of
shots occurred after the salute had been given.
