Died, at Paraclifta, Ark, on the evening Of
the 9Th inst, LAURA, only daughter Of Capt.
Robert Nolen- aged three years, seven months
and twenty-eight days.
Little Laura thou art gone, sand forever" !"
Thy lovely little form and face is hid from our
view. The clay tenement rests in darkness
under the sod; but the resting place of thy
pure spirit is not there.
We have made thy low bed, Laura, where the
birds Of morning sing,
And the tender daisies waken to the lights Of
early spring.
We will come to hear the anthem which fer
thee the zepyrs breathe,
And behold the cloud of amber that the golden
sunbeams weave,
And we VIII remember. darling, when we watch
the pine trees wave,
Ion, who journeyed, young and tender, to a
world bey.nl the grave.
We will muse upon thee lying in long and
lovely rest.
With tie wings Of peace eternal folded o'e thy
little breast.
M bove the happy sleeper We Will sInoothe
the verdant sod
Thankful that loving angels guide children M

Phillips. If this place. died on Saturday night
the 5th inst, aged years and 3 months.
She was a sweet and lovely child full Of life
and vivcaeity. The blossom thus early nipped
in its bud has still she'd its fragrance upon the
life Of parents and companions, and blessed
them with holy memory. Let peace and
calmness come with resignation.
She viii remain a child in all her purity and
innocence in the fond remembrance of her
parents, but
Not as child shall they again behold her.
For when, with raptures wild,
In their embraces they again enfold her,
She will not be child"

Each breeze which waves the grasses, OF

Western Lou isiana, have been removed
to the East of the river Had they re-
mained at home the Confederacy might
have been conquered piece-meal. The
Gulf States being over-run and subjuga-
ted, all the forces of the enemy might
have been turned upon us, and our fall
would have followed as matter of course.
Heretofore the forces of the enemy have
been fully employed in the East, and they
have left us in comparative quiet. Our
Western troops have effsctually defende d
US in Eastern armies And now that the
enemy despair of conquering th EN- and
have at length turned heir attention to
US, they can not spare to his department t
any over whelm ing force. If they do
they leave the north naked to invasion from
Eastern armies. They can take no bond

RUMoRs AND SPECULATIoNs.-For the
last ten days. the whole Trans Mississippi
| Department has been filed with exciting
rumors from beyond the river, coming at
different times, by different persons, and
| from different directions; all corroboratiDg
each other, and none Of them traceabe 10
any authentic, source nor receive ulIiclally
| by our military authorities. They are to
the effect, that SIX Confederate iron clads
have arrived off Charleston that the
siege has been raised, and the Federal
| vessels have departed 10 defend Mort hern
ports tina France aud Spain have GER
| tainly recognized the independence Of
the Southern COnfederacy; That Mr.
| Mason has returned with tile official nOti-
| tication to our government Of the fact;
That he has land II at Wilmington ccoln-
panied by three iron c.ads; That the news
was received at Mobile and the citv iilu-
micated in consequence; That Bragg has
given battle 10 Rosec rautz aud dcieated
h.m most sigually; That Meade has with
drawn his army from Virginia, :Ur the
purpose of defending the uOrthern ports
aud cities; ] hat thirteen more iron clads
are at sea, or about to be launched and
fitted out for an attack on Boston, New
York and Philadel phia; That panic has
seized the Federal forces ut Nicksburg,
Natchez aud and Port II Hudscn, and they
| are changing their defcnces 80 as to point
their guns all towards the river, to meet
the expected Confederate aud Fren Oh
vessels expected to repossess the river.
Draw long breath now and be-
hold the naelange' 1t is just possible
that all may be true. If so it is the most
extraordinary avalanche of unexpected
| events that ever came at once TO relieve
the gloom of Il people on the verge OF
chronic depression. We cannot deny it
all, nor any portion of it, Some of il is
even probable.
But We frd no hook upon which to
hang a settled conviction, und must there
fore again warn our reader. against the
intoxication of undue elation. The de-
/ preston which follows has dore more 10
| times past to demoralize our people, than
ever would have been accomplished by
real disaster calmly met and grappled
with.
So much we may safely take for gran
ted France and Spain. and most other
| Europeon nations are on the eve Of
recognizing onr independence. Put that
down as "un fat aceomplt' for all prad-
ical purposes.
We have no confidence in the report of
the Federal feet at sea. TO lay the least
it is a q oss exaggeratiou. Every vessel
supposed to be building in England for
the Confederacy was marked and known,
and watched, and complained Of, and
clamored about by the lyDx-eyed federal
agents, until they became Celebrated
There was only four Of those at most bull
/ ding for Us.
So large a feet could scarcely have been
built by surprise.
As Tor the runors Of Braggs battle aud
the defeat of Rosecrantz we hope it may
be true, but upon the most careful enqui-
ry, can obtain nothing to give US assu-
| rance of the fact.
