BARNES at Ft. Pickering hospital,
Memphis, Tenn, March 18th 1863, Mr.. Allen
j. Barnes of Grant County, and member oil
the 33rd Reg't Wis. Vols.
A full account OF the sickness and death OF
young Barnes is before US, but is too lengthy
for print. His death was caused by severe
cold taken while en- picket duty in the rain,
which threw him into quick consumption
from which he died in twenty two days there
after. The writer of the letter who appears
to have been stranger 10 the deceased and the
family till by accident of war the two became
intimate and attached as brothers, says that
ssAllen left our company as he came, respected
sby all, leaving no enemies and all to remem-
"ber him and regret his loss. He served Win
Gus shoulder to shoulder, ever ready Tor duty
sstil his last His highest hope appeared to be
esto serve God and his country. so writes
his comrade, Mr.. ]. Wesley Sargent.

Looms! Looms.!

All persons interested in home independ-
ence, and especially in home manufactures
will find ii TO their interest to investigate
the practical utility, cbeapness and dura-
billty OF HenderSon's Patent Loom, pat
ented January Isl, 1861. The under
signed having purchased the right for
Grant County, we will furnish those who
give us a call, with looms and instructions
to use them. This important labor-ssving
machine for farmers use, is intended to SUI
percede the common hand loom now so
generally used throughout the West; it is
made without casting or smithing, conse-
queutly can be made by any ordinary car
penter; it is seli-operating, rreads its own
treadles, throws its own shuttle, lets off its
own web, takes up its own CLOTH the weav-
ing being all done by working the batten !;
the web is sizeCl,s spoiled, warped and
drawn in in the unal manner, enabling the
common weaver to use the loom without
instructions.
This machine supplies long felt want
in the West where farmers find it to their
interest to manufacture their cloth, bags
blankets, linen, &c. For this section Of
the country this machine possesses advan-
tages SO apparent over any other loom in
use, that every farmer will only have to
see it to appreciate it. On this loom the
spare time Of the husbandman can be very
proftably employed in weaving all the
goods for their own wear, which will out
wear twice over that made on powerlooms /;
also, boys and girls twelve years Of age
can work this loom to good advan tage
they are made simple, substantial and du-
able, and by nc means liable to get out of
order, consequently tits just what the COM
munity wants. Call at w. w. Barstow's
shop, four miles northwest of Platteyille,
corner OF Harrison, and see for yourselves

the measures adopted by them, and we
here declare that if the President, by and
with the advice of the Cabinet, honestly
believes these measures to be fit, necessary
and efectual, it is his bounden duty, as
the conservator of the public peace, as the
Chief Magistrate of the people, to whom
they have committed the sacred trust Of
maintaining their government and preserv-
ing their Liberties, to use them, and use
them speedily and efectually, and we as
citizens and soldiers will uphold him in so
doing with our fortunes and our sacred
honor. That we cannot and will not,
when the fabric of our government is on
fire, stop to determine by books and bench
es the copstitutionality Of every measure
adopted for its salvation, but will crush
the treason no0 and settle the question Of
the legality Of means used, when the
constitutions is saved and the government
rescued from impending ruin.
RESOLVED, That we are not tired of
this war, and never will be tired of it
SO long as traitor armed or unarmed
dares TO stand against our government,
that it is foul SANDER upon their patriot
ism, their courage and good sense, to say
that men who have voluntarily left behind
all that they hold nearest and dearest to
encounter the dangers of war In hostile
country, will rest with anything short of
the entire accomplishment Of the object for
which they have risked so much; that we
want no peace, and will have none, upon
any other terms than the unconditional
surrender of rebels; that we will fight
traitors everywhere; we can and will lash
| the revolted States into the union, and then
by our votes if we may, by the strong arm
If we must, drive treason in the North to
treasons grave. We warn Northern Cop
perheads to keep hands off, even their
friendship is better than their enmity, but
if they force us to deal with them as enc
mics, we shall. do our work once for all
coming time.
RESOLVED, That it makes no difference
to us whether the muskets which speed
bullets against traitors are held in hands
white or black; that every man who loves
liberty and hates slavery, who respects law
and despises anarchy, who reveres loyalty
and abhors treason, is welcome to the priv
ileges for the preservation of free institu-
tons; and we will measure the honor due
him bs bis merit, and not by the color Of
his skin; and although the government did
not attack slavery, if slavery's folly shall
result in slavery's destruction, we will re-
oice and thank God forever.

Speciat to The Tribune-Lt is reported
in diplomatic circles that Sec'y Seward for
warded second dispatch to Minister Adj
ans yesterday to go by the next steamer,
simslar in its general tone to that written
a fortnight ago, in which Great Britain
was warned of the consequence Of sending
out more Alabamas to prey on our COM

predecessor, and goes even so far as 10 IN
innate that if the British government per-

piratical cruisers from its ports, it ought
Justly to be held responsible.

ing for an almistice, yilifying the present
administration, threatening armed resist
ance to the enforcement of law, and in eV-

Ez-The town elections in all the northern
states. and such Of the border states as have
voted, show enough gains for the union side
over the vote of last fall to reverse almost ev-
cry Copperhead triumph of last year, and In
many states the vote shows nearly as strong Tor
the union as in '6. We venture that in Wis
cousin, the change since last fall amounts tc
near Is, 000-talxing the judicial election as a
test; considering that there was SO little differ
ence between Dixon and Cothren, and that IN
MANY parts the state the better informed sup
porters Of the union refused TO support Dixon,
or supported him under protest or as choice of
evils, the result is wonderful, wonderful indeed.
1t is true that Cothren was unpopular, even in
the western counties where best known. Still,
Dixon held no advantage on this score; he too
was exceedingly unpopular. Had there been
an out-and-ou supporter of the war to oppose
Cothren, the state would have gone 10000
majority. The copperheads cannot defeat the
union men in wisconsin, but there is dangea q
half-breed politicians.

there were tories, and in event of war
again between the same countries there
will be tory party. The late oficla!

He writes home that these leaders OF the
present Democratic party have been advis-
inc with him and giving counsel as to the
mode of making foreign intervention sue

he writes, in his official letters. that he
thinks they are ready TO consent to the dr.

Burnsides orders relative TO sending do
nestle traitors beyond the Federal lines,
and protection to Union men, is well receiy-
ed in indianapolis, as it confirms the pre-
vious action of Gen Darlington. A Union
man driven from home because accused Of
reporting X. G.. G. to the commander Of

the officers instructed to rely on the civil
authorities, but if not protected, the offen-
ders are to be dealt with under the order.

The friends, it is hoped, will see to pro-
viding room and lights at each place and

We can say this for Mr.. BoorH that he
is one of the ablest speakers in the western
Country, and that be belongs to class Of
men who have labored for twenty years to
prevent this war, but failed to convince the
pubic mud in good time to heed the
schemes OF rebels who have been design
ino the treason and war for near half an
ace. Foreseeing events so unerrlngly, ne
IS surely better able now to reason IN ike

dav and end. Whatever may be said OF
Mr.. BoorH's opinions, there will be none
to call him demagogue or panderer to
men and parties.

ITS CAPTURE CERTAIN.

New YORK, June 3.-By steamer George
Crowel1, which arrived from New Orleans at
O'Clock this morning, we have the following
intelligence:
Seventy Ave prisoners arrived at New Or
leans on the Goth from Baton Rouge. among
whom is ex-Gov. Wicklife, who was captured
near Port Hudson.
The fight on the Bayou Sara road, and near
Port Hudson, on the Dist, was holly contested:
but the rebels were badly whipped at every
point. The bayonet charge Of the 1l6th New
York, was the final affair of the day.
The New Orleans Era of the 27th, contains
the following: 'Gen. Banks moved down Red
river with his army, and crossed to Bayou
Sara, thence to Port Hudson, where he united
his forces with Gen. Augur's. The gunboats,
under Admiral Farragut, were to move up on
the oath. The mortar feet opened upon Port
Hudson on the night of the 9th, silencing sew.
eral OF the enemy's guns.
Port Hudson, is now, therefore, closely be.
sieged and hemmed in, and the fall Of this
stronghold will be speedy, even should Gene
raj Banks not order an assault on the works.
Colonel Grierson is cooperating with Gene.
raj Banks.
The reported rebel iron clad raid from Mo.
bile, and the capture of two OF our ships.of
war, proves to be canard.
The garrison at Port Hudson is estiln ated at
about 10000, scantily supplied with provisions.
