The Times Kicked out Again

Gen. Sullivan, the hero of Palmer's
Cross Foods, has issued an order pro-
hibiting the Chicago Times from be-
ing circulated within his line. He
will not allow the traitorous thing with
in the limits of his command. Itwould
be good thing ifthe War Department
would make general order Excluding
it and all other Secesh Sypathizing
Journals from all the Federal armies.
1t would be far safer and less PERM
cious, TO allow a free influx of rebel
newspapers from the other side of our
lines, than to allow the rebel Northern
press, reeking with venom and false
hood, to poison the sentiment of the
army.

AT THE MOUTH OF THE YAzoo RIVER
Ok BOARD U. 5. HOSPITAL SHIP RED ROVER,
February 3, via CAIRO, Feb. s.
AT last, after complete dearth of
news of Importance since the Arkansas
and White River expeditions, we have
interesting items to chronicle, which
gives token of activity.
This morning at o'clock, the ram
Queen of the West, commanded by
Capt. Sutherland, with Col. Ellet,
Commodore of the ram feet,
on board, left this river and
having passed down by the PENN
sula, i'll full sight of Vicksburg, rounded
the point and was under full Roadway
down towards the city before she was
discovered. The rebels then opened
fire upon her with number Of their
heaviest guns, and kept up a brisk
cannonade, while she ran in towards
the landing and fred shell into and
twice severely butted the rebel steamer
Vicksburg, moored to the bank, direct
ly under the river batteries.
Besides the time occupied in running
down towards the city, she was fully
ten minutes detained in making her
assaults upon the steamer. Notwith.
standing all this opportunity, and the
close proximity to the rebel batteries
and fire from them of 100 shot and
shell, she was only hit twelve times,
and it is said not person was injured.
She continued down the river, and
landed at the lower end of the canal,
when Capt. Sutherland landed and
cyDssed the peninsula back to the
river.
Col. Ellet continued down the river,
his destination being watched. This
movement will be followed up tonight
by m attempt by the ram Monarch to
make the same trip. These rams will
be able to keep open the river for
some distance, with the assistance of
one or two iron-clads, whose COM
manders are soliciting the same privi-
lege, and may soon be granted per-
mission to run the blockade.
A large body of troops might thus
be landed from fiatboats upon the south
side of Vicksbnrg. Ii this cannot at
present be done, direct communication
of the besieged city with Texas and
Louisiana can be cut of, aud trans
ports on Red and Ouchite' Rivers can
be captured or destroyed.
This will be great gain, and the
value of this pioneer achievement,
therefore, relatively, as well as intrin.
sically, is very great.

W kilograms to the Richmond
Dispatch, dated Charleston, S. c., Jan.
81, announce the dispersal of the fed
eral blockading gunboats, the sinking
of the Mercdita. and another vessel, and
the disabling of steamship Quarter
City, by rebel squadron under Com
mander Ingraham. The captain and
erew..of the Mecedita surrendered, &C.
cording to the report, and ives paroled.
The federal loss is stated as very Sc
we're and the enemy's luck as complete.
General Beaureguard and Captain
Ingraham, commanders of the land and
naval force of the confederates, had
issued joint proclamation declaring
the blockade to be raised on and after
the date of the reported disaster. The
foreign consuls held a meeting. at
which they were said to be unanimous
ly of the opinion that the blockade had
been legally done away with. In read
ing these accounts due consideration
should be given to the fact that they
are entirely from rebel sources.

ID II AT H 8.


In Mt. Holley. Dec. 18th, of erysipelas,. MRS
MARY WOOD FOSTER, relct of Mr.. Abel Eoster,
at the advanced age Of 100 years. 8 months and 81
days.
Mrs. Foster was born in Billerica, Mass Aug
%, 1862, and married April 90, 1888, The family
lived for few years in Townsend, Mass, then in
Raby and in Rindge, N. H., and in March, 1906,
moved. to Mt. Holley, which has since been her
home. Her descendants number twelve children,
eight daughters and four sons, the oldest of
whom now living is 78 and the youngest 55.--ifty-
three grandchildren.-nearlya all iving,-sixty-two,
great grandchildren, and three of the fifth genera
tons in all one hundred and thirty.
She has been an exemplary member of the Con-
grsgational church in Mt. Holley for more than
fifty years. and one of the few by whose prayers
and influence that feeble church has hitherto been
kept alive. She lost brother in the battle of
Bunker Hill, and the stirring scenes of the Revo-
luton were fresh in her mind and frequent topic
of conversation up to the time of her DEATH She
knit for the soldiers of l776 and of 1862, having
furnished pair of socks for the army the present
year. Elder Packer, a Baptist clergyman who has
lived neighbor to her for many years. in remarks
made at her funeral, said that few months since
he went to her house to make a call at time when
all the family besides herself were out and was
stopped at the door by the sound of prayer, when.
he heard the present sad condition of our country
intelligently brought under review, and the bless
ings of God earnestly invoked upon our rulers and
our armies. She has been blind for the last five or
six years, otherwise her remained acute and
her mind clear to the last. Though borne away at
last apparently not by the weight of accumulated
years, but BY disease, yet did she "come to her
grave in full age like as a shock of corn cometh
in its season." and her end was peace.
Con-.
Mrs. Foster was grandmother, to Mr.. z. W.,
Ashley, of this village.

EXCITEMENT ABOUT RYE Corrrr

EXCITEMENT ABOUT RYE Corrrr.-
SALE PRoHip1rED IN BRooKLYN, N.
Y.-Dr. Louis Bauer, health officer of
the city of Brooklyn, n. Y, has issued
an order prohibiting the sale of rye
coffee IN all the stores. of that city
where it was sold. The circumstances
which led to this order are as follows
For some time past respectable Ger
man family of eight persons, residing
in Amity street, have complained of
headache and dizziness, and some of
the members of the family were at
times delirious. Their faces became
swollen and they exhibited various
other symptoms of poisoning.
DR.. Palmedo, who attended the fam
lily, discovered that the symptoms were
those of three Vegetable poisons, known
as Ergot, Lolsas,, Sernalent,taa and
Agrostename Dithago. As all these
poisons grow wild among rye and
other cereals, the physicians came to
the conclusion that the cause of the
trouble was the rye coffee which the
family had been using for about two
weeks. He communicated the facts to
DR.. Bauer, the health officer, and after
consultation he prohibited the sale
of the article until full examination
Of the matter is made.
Since the case has been reported to
DR.. Bauer several other persons who
have been using the article have COM
planned of being affected in similar
way. DR.. Bauer is of the opinion
that the rye used for the manufacture
of this coffee is of an inferior quality,
and that the seeds of those poisonous
weeds which grow among it are roast
ed and ground up with it in the manu-
facture.

Aloud Wall from Dixie.

The Richmond Ecaniner utters a
particularly loud wall over the pros
poets of the rebel cause. 1t sees moth.
ing but gloom in the present and ruin
in the future. 1t confesses that cit is
no idle boast of the Yankees that they
hold all they ever held" and that
"another year or two of such progress
as they have already made, will find
them masters of the Southern Confed-
eracy. 1t confesses, moreover, that
the sspledge once deemed foolish by the
South, that he mould hold, occupy ana
possess all the forts belonging to the
United States Government, has been
reduced almost to the letter by lin.
coln."
Nor is this all. The hated Federals
are not only conquering the coasts, but
shedding and possessing" the heart Of
the insurgent country.
The "onward movement Of Rose
Grams toward Alabama, the presence Of
Grant IL, Northern Mississippi and
of Curtis in Middle arkansas, to say
nothing Of Banks at Meao Orleans and
Baton Rouge, set at rest the silly
dreams thas.a hin strip Of sea coast
only is in possession efoam foes" The
Indians of the Southwest are also mu-
tisous I; "New Mexico and Arizona are
for the time lost" to the Confederates ;
classification exists in Tennessee apd
Mississippi;" and Bragg's imbecility
has nearly ruined the rebel cause In
the Southwest. The Eranaisaermourn-
fully concludes:
eff aoithin the nert t,oo months zoe
do not add seventy. Jfue or hundred
thousand men to our forces IN the
Southeast ace shall come to greet. IT
zoe do add them aoe are safe beyond
peradventure, and next summer Will
witness the fipal triumph of our arms"

COpperhead Convention.

The copperheads of this county held
a conventional Cassapolis, on Wednes-
day of last week, and passed series
of resolutions which might have been
supposed to have eminated from some
southern groggery, instead of from a
northern convention. As the sow re-
turns to her wallowing in the mire, SO
do these traitors abandon their hypo-
critical Union pretensions and Fusion
platform, and GO back into their dirty
and undisguised treason. The resolu.
tons passed denounee the President,
the administration and the Union, but
have not word of blame forthe rebels
They hurl all their venom and dirty
spite at the administration, declaring
that this is can abolition" war, and
that they will not give it their counte-
nance or support but they have not
one word to say about the rebels
who are endeavOrlDg to destroy the
best of governments, and which is so
lenient as to allow these miserable
traitors to publish their foul lingo.
We shall publish the resolutions
adopted by these sympathizers with
JEFF. Davis, in our next, that our read
ers may see what food they serve up
to their followers. 1t is certainly no
wonder that those who are fed upon
such food are not more interested in a
"vigorors prosecution of the war;"

National Forces to be Orxanlzed...The
New Law Of Draft.

National Forces to be orxanlzed...The
New Law of Draft.
WAsH1surds, Feb. ., 1885,
Senator Wilson reported from the
COMMITTEES on Military Affairs, to-day,
one Of the most importans bills ever
considered in Congress-. After setting
forth, in preamb BILE, the objects of the
war aud the necessity of military
force to attain them, it enacts that eve-
ry able bodied male citizen of the Uni
ted States, between eighteen and for
ty-6ve, shall constitute a part of the
national forces, and shall be liable to
perform military service when called
on by the President.
A long list follows of the classes of
persons exempt from this requirement,
including in addition to ordinary ex-
empts those who are the sole support
of inirm, aged, or helpless, only broth
err of young orphan children, and like
cases, as under the French CONSUMPTION
law.
The third section divides the nation
al forces now In service into two
classes, viz:
First, Those between eighteen and
thirty, and the unmarried above that
age.
Second, All others. The second
class not to be called into service till
the first is exhausted.
For the convenience of enrolment
and the apprehension of deserters, the
United States is divided into districts
answering to Congressional districts in
States and Territories, the President to
designate the districts where the State
may have neglected to do so.
Provost Marshals are TO be appointed
for each district with the rank of Capt.
OF Cavalry, subject to the orders of the
Provost Marshal General A Board
OF Enrolment for each district, con-
sisting of the Provost Marshal and two
others, one of whom is to be surgeon,
is to divide it into sub districts OF con
venient size, to appoint enrolling Off
GERS for each before March 10th, who
shall by April report all persons 80 en-
rolled, to be subject to call for two
years after July ls, to serve during
three years or the war, and to be on
the same footing with the volunteers
with the same period.
When it shall be necessary to call
ont the national forces, the President
is to assign to each district the num-
Required, who, with sixty per cent. ad-
ditional, shall thereupon be drafted.
The President is to assign drafted men
to such corps, regiments, &c, as the
exigencies of the service may require.
The bill goes at length into the de-
tails teaching the duties and penalties
connected with enrolment and deser.
ton.
This bill has been for long time the
subject of consultation and discussion
among Republicans, and will doubtless
be put through by nearly strict party
vote. An amendment will perhaps be
moved, providing for the Government
procuring substitutes, after the French
fashion, when drafted men are willing
to pay tor them.
