GEOGRAPHY.-Our readers will get Them
selves into inextricable confusion, reading
about the enemys boats in Yazoo. and Sun
Flower, and Deer Creek We will try and
help them.
The whole country between the Yazoo and the
Mississippi is a swamp, about sixty miles in
width. On the other bank of the Yazoo the
high lands commence, along which North and
South. and about thirty miles east of the va
zoo, runs the Mississippi Central Railroad.
The swamp is cut up by number of smaller
rivers, all running south and parallel with tie
Mississippi, and emptving into the Yazoo after
it takes the westerly turn towards its mouth
in the Mississippi. All these streams in high
water are supplied with water from the INNER
Mississippi, and are deep and rapid In sum
mer they are mostly insignificant riyulets. None
of them are connected with til river above nv
any navigable channel.
The boats which went through the PASS and
were repulsed at Greenwood make senarate
and distinct fleet, which has no manner of con
nexiOn with the boats we read of in Deer Greek
and Sun Flower.
They got in from below, through channels
which we had entirely overlooked The route
was up the Yazoo about six miles to Steele 5
Bayou, which puts in on the north side up the
bayou about thirty miles into Deer Creek; which
is the first of those streams parallel to the
Mississippi; then up Deer Greek to small
cross stream called the Rolling Fork, which
connects with Sun Flower, thence into tn
latter, when all IS smooth sailing to the Yazoo
above our batteries. About seven gunboats
are in the woods there, and although they have
so far out-maneuvered US, we reasonably ex-
pect they will never get back safely.

FALSE HOPES AND TRUE ExpEcrAT1eNs.-
The foolish man in the parable who built his
house upon the sand, may Lave been ever 50
careful of the strength of his masonry. and
may have calculated the proportions ever so
wisely. But having neglected the foundation
it was in vain, and when the rains descended
and the floods came" great was the fall there
at, and irretrievable ruin was his lot, for he
had expended upon the sand time, wealth and
energies, which would never be repeated, and
which devoted, with even far less imposing
effect, upon a surer foundation would have
produced useful results to him and his descen-
dants for ages. They do likewise who found
expectations upon false views of the temper
and spirit Of any people, and taking them for
granted direct their measures accordingly.
The error which lies beneath will not be ig-
nored, although hidden for the while. Wounded
by the darts of reason, or the tests of expert
ence, it

they are determined to make all the money

exceptions proclaim themselves, and keep

the community know who refuses.
The mechanics have made no move
ment yet for similar cooperation. Upon
them also great deal depends, but in a
less degree. We can live without hats
and shoes, after a fashion, if the lust of
gain should raise the prices of those ar
ticles out of the reach of the mass of the
community. But greater honor will fall
to the share of those who labor to furnish
these and similar neeessaries to the Mt.

NEW VIEW OF THE PEACE PEosPEoT.-The
following is an extract from private letter OF
Adj. J. 2. Erwin. I; presents the case in a
light that bad not occurred to US before. 1t is

character, and may have something in it. II
Liucoln's government could sQueese out of the

me hope Of a speedy termination of our trou-

in that act that is full of hope. For the sum
of $780, exemption from CONSUMPTION can be
purchased. In the North there are 500, 900
men fan extremely moderate calculation that
can purchase exemption and that lciH do it,.
This will pay into the treasury the sum of

The IMPREssMENP BILL.-This bill has pass
ed both houses of Congress and become law.
a short time ago it was decided in a case
brought before Judge Lyons at Richmond. that
the Secretary of War, without act Of Congress
had no power TO authorize impressments OF
property. This actconfers the authority, and
the decision is important, as it determines that
the poweri vested solely by the act, and its pro
visions therefore must be pursued and its con-
ditions observed. The act Sc ems wisely guard
sd against abuse, and leav es US no appreben-
ion, save what arises from disposition on
the part Of commandants of depar tments II
treat the laws Of Congress with contempt. and
to substitute their own arbitrary notions of
convenience and ne cessity instead. 1t is too
well proven by experience that the military
authorities seize with avidity all grants of
power, but are not particular in observing the
conditions and safeguards which Congress-
throws around them. The provisions of the
bill are va rious, and if strictly followed cannot
be oppressive. No family is to be deprived of
necessaries for its support, and distinction
IS made between the producer and the specu-
lator in the mode of assessing payment. We
will publish the bill next week.
