Snecial 10 the Times - Headquarters, IN the
Field near Vicksburg, May 23.-But little has
been effected in the last SO hours. One hum
dred pieces fed artilary and several siege guns
have been throwing round shot and shell or
the enemy's works. Yesterday the mortar
fleet a'so took position behind DE Soto Point
and bombarded the city on the right. Gen.
Sherman has pushed Steele's division squareiy
to the foot Of the parapets. Our men lay in
the ditch and slope Of the parapet on the side
OF one Of the principal forts, unable 10 take it
by storm. Determined not TO retire, the fed
eral and rebel soldiers moi 25 feet apart, both
poweress to inhict much harm; eaeh watches
the other, and dozen muskets are fired if a
soldier exposes himself above the works.
On the other side neaIly the same condition
of things exists in McPherson's front. His
sharpshooters prevent the working OF the enc
my's pieces in one or two forts. Gen. Joe
Johnston is reported near by Black river, il.
our rear, with reinforcements for the besieged.
Grant can detail men enough from operations
here to keep Johnston in check.

pfcTuRE or AN INDIAN BEILE.-A Fort
Ruby (Nebraska) correspondent gives the fol-
lowing sketch:
Yesterday the abele'' of the Shoshones-
asugar PLUMP by name--was pointed out to
your correspondent Her dress consisted of
an old fashioned gray flannel shirt drawn over
her shoulders, over which fell innumerable
strings of colored beads and trinkets of various
kinds. Her feet were encased in heavy pair
of men's shoes, and her ankles enveloped in
wrappings fold red flannel. Her face; around
which fell tangled masses Of jetty hair, was
not indeed repulsive, but could certainly not
be called handsome or attractive. This is the
nearest approach to the "beaatful Indian raaid-
en,' haye seen during a residence Of six
months in The Territory.

Charles Carroll, Of Carrollton, the Carroll
estate is now being settled up. Ofthe 800
slaves belonging 10 the estate all but 40
have run away. The appraisers on satpr-
day valued these at five dollars apiece,
while leading sIaye dealer Of Baltimore

whole lot. This is the most remarkable
illustration yei brought out Of the decrease
in the value Of slave property.

THE MESSAGE.
Dr STELLA MAY.


brreze one summer morning
Flew swiftly Ger the lea,
AMI whispered to maiden,
I'll message bear TO thee;
Come hither gent zephyr,
And hear what may say;
I'll send you with a message
To one who is far away.
You'll know him when you sec him,
BY bright and merry eve,
His clustring curls of dark brown hair
And forehead bread, and high;
Hes tall and we'll proportional,
And makes graceful bow;
But iorgot--that's nothing,
For he's asoldieraow.
If you find him wen aud happy,
Breathe a blessing on his brow
And tell him all his parting words
Are we'll remembered nov;
IL you find him sad aud lonely.
Breathe words of gentle cheer,
And tell him he's remembered
BY those he loves SO dear.
Tell him prayers are daily uttered
For soldiers tue and brave,
Who'ye left Their friends and iresides
Their sountsf,s dag to save;
And THAI we are ipndly hoping
That the time viii surely come,
We shall see and bid them welcome,
Yes, welcome, welcome home.

tains nothing from Vicksburg. That pa
per editorially complains Of the inefiiciency
Of the rebel Government. 1t argues first,
that the great error in the condnct Of the
war was in making it strictly defensive,
and suggests that dose Of the enemy's
own medicine would cause him to desist
from further invasion.

PETROLEUM FOR PREsERvIEa WOOD
The oil wells near Prone, in Burmah, have
been in use from time immemorial. Wood
for ship building and house building is in
yariably saturated or coated with the prod
uct of those wells. The result is entire i'm
munity from decay, and the rayages OF the
white ants that in that country are so gen
orally destructive NJ. Crepin, Belgian
Government engineer, who has tried exper-
iments upon the relative advantages OF Gre
osote and sulphate Of copper for the pres
eryative Of timber ID marine constructions
from the attacks OF worms, DC, says that
creosoting is the only process he has found
to succeed for this purpose. He states that
sulpkate Of copper affords no protection
whatever against the action Of salt water
and marine insects. The Belgian Govern
ment now requires that all the wood sleep
ers used in the State railways should be
creosoted, and the Government Of Holland
has also made the same resolution, and
upwards Of 100000 slecpers per annur.
are now being creosoted by the Latch
Government, and more By the Belgian
Government.

Gov. Tod appeared before the Fair
field County Court Of Common Pleas yes
terday, to answer the charge filed against
him by DR.. Edison B. Olds. The Attor-
ney for Gov. Tod filed a motion declaring
that as he, Tod, was Chief Executive Of
the State, he was not liable to esiest IN
ill he vacated his office, either by the ex-
piration OF his term or by impeachment.
He, therefore, could not be punished now.
The case should be moved to Federal
Court, under the provisions of the act pass
ed by the last Congress. The Governors
case was then continued by consent, he en-
tering into new recognizance TO appear
at the next term Of Court.

Great Emigration.

Emigrants from Europe continue to
pour into this port al an astonishing rate.
For weeks past they have averaged thou
sand per day. Thus far this year, we
Rave had altogether 10000, or about three
times the number that arrived in the cor
responding period of last year, when the
emigration was considered respectfully
large. AS yet, the greater part of those
who have arrived this year are from IRE
land, though fair proportion are from
Germany, the other great European hive.
They are attracted here partly by the de-
mand for labor and the high wages labor
ers command. The general prosperity
here also has enabled our foreign popula-
ton to send larger remittances than usual
to their friends in Europe, and thus facili-
ties have been afforded the latter to emf
crate. 1t is probable that after the Spring
and early Summer influx from Ireland, a
vast Germany tide will set hitherward.
Tens and hundreds of thousands Of people
IN Germany are anxious to come to Amer
lea, attracted in great measure by the
facilities for acquiring land under the
Homestead Law. The Governor of Ohio
has appointed a Commissioner to visit Ger
many, and invite the people Of that coun-
try to remove to Ohio; and the fruits o:
this action will doubtless appear BY Au-
tumn.
There is a great demand for Iaborers all
over the West, for farm work and me-
chanical employmerts. Even in New
England there is desire te secure part o.
the emigration. The Springfield Repu6-
licdp srys: "There is great lack Of la
borels in that section, and is likely 10 be
during the season. In the cities especially
it is almost impossible to hire man to do
days work; and we trust some Of the
new recruits will stop in this region"
1t is certainly remarkable spectacle to
see people commit from all parts Of Europe
to settle for life in a country racked and
torn by civil war; 1t is evident they al
least have faith in the country's future. II
is evident they are not affected by the
ceaseless torrent OF falsehoods about US
poured out by the Europeans, and espe-
cially by the British press.-N y. Times
