An rnelaen. o. mo war.

In one Of our beautiful suburban ceme-
teries was employed a. grave. digger, up
to a week ago, a venerable man. Though
poor he raised four gallant boys, giving
to each Of them a moderate education
and a good trade.
The two elder went FIVE years ago to
New Orleans, where prosperity attended
their industry. atH
The two younger brothers remalned
with their father. George aud Fredar-
ick were their names. The latter 10 but
II years Of age. When the war broke
out, both left their emplovments and en-.
listed. At the battle of Fredericksburg,
in the very front of the line, were the
boys Frederick aud George. A sorlie
was made by the rebel rifiemen upon
the retreating Federals, and among those
who dropped were the two boys, the
youngest SONS of the old ve-digger.
The rebel soldiers, whose weapons had
done the deed, were clad in rags of lin
sey. They ran with alacri,y TO secure
tbs clothing the canteens, and money,
perhaps, OF the men they had laid low.
The foremost one reached the body OF
bis dead enemy, iurned il over, and 10
his horror brheld tbe corpse Of his young

MEMPHIS, March %, Via CAIRO, 81
The Argus Of to-day says the Southwest
ern arrived last night from the 1eet. She
brings important intelligence from be-
low.
Ga Wednesday morning last the rams
Lancaster aud Switzerland were put in
readiness, and started from the feet, to
pass the Yicksburg batteries As soon
as they came within shooting distance
the Confederate batteries opened tre-
mendous fire upon them.
The Lancaster was struck some thirty
odd times, and her entire bow was shot
away, causing her to take water so rap
idly that che sunk Immediately opposite
the city, turning a complete somersault
All her crew escaped 10 small boats ex-
cept two.
The Switzerland kept on her course,
defying the batteries until her sieam-
drum was struck by a sixty four pound
er. rendering her totally helpless. She
1oated down below the city batteries,
sull belching forth shot and shells, aud
striking her repeatedly. The Albatross,
of Admiral FArragurs feet, ran along
side the switzerland and took her IN tow
in crevAsse, just below the mouth Of
the canal, where she was lying when
our informant left.
The loss Of life on the Switzerland was
not knOwn.
The object Of getting tho rams by
Vicksburg was 10 reinforce FarragnL

An Epi.oco in tRo Iato suno with
JOEu NOrEan.

Just before the iigli commenced. John.
the great horse thief made a speech 20
his men as follows:
Behold before YOU" said he, "Ihs
sans Yankees whom you have SO often
chased elter-skelter over hill and dale
the same breed Of spirited towards
whom you have sometimes almost dis.
dained 10 kill, as being unworthy oppo.
nents OF your proves, Remember how
lgnomniously they bowed their heads at
Harisvlle, aud like lusty bull calves.
roared Tor mercy almost before YOU could
get your muskets trained upon them. Do
you think they will stand against YOU
nowp No they will break and run A
tue first fire, and your only diflouliy
will be in ouIrunning and picking them
up, before they can get back to their den
at Murfreesboro." 'HE ....
Our old friend Col Jim Monroe OF the
l23d Illinois, also made a speech 20 his
men which, through more brief, was
more TO the point and perfectly charao-
teristic of the man. SAYS he,
Boys! You have followed John Nor
gan Tor more than thousand miles, In
vain effort to get fight out of him. You
have often said you would like no butter
sport than to meet him. Your wishes
are gratiiied at last. Here no is. Now
give him hellm ...f.I
Aud they did give him an excellent
representation of his final doom. But
John, true to his instincts of skulkinr
when hard blows were to be given, is said
to have been exceedingly chary about
exposing his own person, and TO have
remained in the thicket just TO the left
of the town, during the whole course Of
the fight Nevertheless it is confrmed
that a random shot took or some Of his
fingers, thus uniting him for stealing,
and also that no received a ball in bis
shoulder. . r.
A more gallant gentleman than Colonel
Monroe never drew a blade. lie Is Of the
true Kentucky blood, and though Dem
ocrat, has no sympathy with treason,
whether il presents itself In the form Of
Southern traitors or Northern Copper
heads.
