The Army of the Mississippi.

We had a long and interesting CONVEX
sation with Capt Hutsinpiller, of the
Little Grey Eagle, yesterday morning,
relative to the condition of affairs at
yicksburg, from whence the Little Grey
Eagle arrived last week
The Captain says he is greatly encour-
aged in regard to the success of our
arms in that quarter, having seen and
learned facts while there, which creates
the iveliest faith in the ability of our
army TO succeed. OF the army itself he
speaks in the highest terms The men
ere-in the very finest spirits-fat. hearty.
Duu as represented, has almost entirely
abated, there not being one man in a
hundred unfit for duty.
Capt. Hutsinpiller is himself an earn
est Union man, and took lively interest
in learning the state of affairs at Vicks-
burg and vicinity.

Tie GGERRILLAs ANe THE GUNBoATs.
We publish, in another place, letter
from an experienced river man, giving
an account of the capture and destruc.
ton of the " Saxonia and Lovel," ON
Cumberland River, on the 6th, by guer-
rillas
Our correspondent complains Of the
inefficient manner in which the genboats
perform their duty. We have heard SIM
liar complaints from other quarters, and
very much fear that the gunboats do not
do as much good as they might on the
Cumberland.
1t seems that Smithland has more at
fractions for the officers than the upper
part of the river, where they are needed.
Why, we can not say. The boats lay al
that place much more than there is any
need of The danger to navigation is on
the upper part of the river, and there
duty calls them There seem to be
some ideas of punctilio which prevent
the naval and military authorities from
cooperating harmoniously, until the
Quartermaster at Smithland has begun
to think that he wil1have to get gunbOats
fitted out for the use of his department
so as not to be subject to the favor Of the
Navy Department
1t is pity that the interests of the
service. A remedy ought to be found
and applied as soon as possible. We
suppose, of course, the gunboat officers
act under orders, in staying so much at
Smithland; yet there is evidently fault
somewhere. If it be in the principal
authorities, they ought to be enlightened
as to the complaints that are made.

IN MEMORIAM,

On yesterday morning, April 18th
1868, Judge NJ. W. Foster, one of our
oldest and best citizens, breathed his last
After passing Sabbath of solemn and
yet delightful communion with his God
and his family, he passed, in the spirit of
unwonted resignation and hope, to unite

Sabbath ofthe Redeemed"
MATTHEW WATSON FOSTER, was born
ed in Gilesfeld, county Durham, Eng
land, June 22nd, 1900, and consequently
was in his 63d year. He immigrated to
the State of New York, in the year 1912,
to Pike county, Indiana, in 1919, and to
this city in the year 1916. -ert
Few men have secured a greater
amount of respect-and deservedIy So
as friend, as aneighbor, as a merchant,
as citizen, and, as patriot and philan-
thropist, than he. In every sphere of
life, to the best of his abilities, he was
ready for every good word and work.
The poor and unfortunate had, in him
sympathizing and practical friend. the
young, not only counsellor and a helm
er, but an example that they might emu

more direct encouragement to its pupils

an untiring advocate and worker. His
voice, and his pen, and his strongest
powers were engaged to this end-the
good OF the people, all the people, was
what he ever aimed at And hence in
the struggle which is now going on for
the preservation ofthe nations life. there
was no sacrifice which he was not. ready
and willing to make, if it would only in

this regard, was the spirit of one who

Ky, and have been unusually bold IN
their robberieS and other outrages. They
have approached to within few miles
of Owensboro, pillaging and committing
many other excuses. From one citizen
of Daviess county, residing some ten
miles from Greensboro, 1t Is said they
stole eleven horses We have such in
formation as satisfies MS that there is to
be much trouble with these guerrillas IN
the Green River country the ensuing
spring and summer, unless the most vlg-
orous efforts are at once put forth to rid
this section of their presence.
"Why is it that the military authorities
will tolerate, not to say protect, lot OF
pathizing and guerrilla-conniv-
| ing set of citizens, whose constant exam
Piles and positive acts are all against the
| Government, is more than we can divine.
If the peace of that part of Kentucky is
to be maintained, and Union citizens
made to feel secure against the outrages
of gang of robbers and cut-throVts VINO
are not entitled to any of the consldera-
tons of civilized warfare, the rebel-sym-
pathizing citizens who counsel and Sc
cretly aid in these outrages have got to
be made feel the strong arm of the Gov
eminent. If there is any difference be-
tween the men who plan murder and
robbery, and point out the victims who
are to suffer, and those who execute 1t,
we fail to see it. Ever rebel-sympathizer
who is known to be joined in secret
league, or to be in either open or secret
sympathy with the marauding bands of
armed hisbsysgRec0uiIt, not only for his
own reasonable acts and sympathies, but
for those of the gangs whose outrageous
and barbarous system of warfare he is
aiding and abetting. The galows has
long been cheated out of number of
Kentucky rebels upon whom it has espe-
cial and peculiar claims; and until the
military authorities begin to season that
mercy which has SO persistently been
outraged with justice, and hang dozen
score or more of these rebel-sympathiz-
ing citizens, the border counties, nor
other counties of Kentucky, will have
exemptions from the raids Of villainous
guelrlllas. 1t is an obligation that the
military authorities owe to the Union
citizens to protect them; and it has long
since been demonstrated that the farce
OF arrests and taking the oath has been
7 played out. A little healthy hanging
would now prove the most peaceful pan
acea that could be administered.
The chief difficulty has been hitherto
that whenever any attempt was made to
punish those who engaged in this guer-
rilla warfare, or those who gave them
aid, comfort, or information, howl was
set up BY the conservative, peace press
of the North denouncing the Administra
ton for acts of tyranny, violating the
Constitution, and violating all the laws
Of civilization!
We are glad the people are beginning
to appreciate the necessity for more de-
clsive measures and a more vigorous
policy; and we are glad the New Albany
Ledger is beginning to see it."
We are satisfied there will be no child's
play Oh the border this year.
The rebels, guerrillas, and their aiders
and sympathizers will meet with but lit
tie mercy this season.

among the rebel sympathizers in the
Ohio River counties of Kentucky between

which was to give aid and information to

counties. During the present week, as
we learn from gentlemen who arrived
from De ow yesterday, these guerrilIas

Death of Judge Foster.

Our people were deeply grieved on
Monday to learn of the death of that be-
loved and honored citizen, Judge NJ. W.
Foster. Words fail to adequately ex-
press the loss our community has sus-
tanned by his death. In every good word
and work he was foremost-always
ready and willing to promote all the pub
lie enterprises and aid the distressed.
Moreover, he was true and selesacri
fcing patriot. His heart bled for his
suffering country. In conversation
that the writer had with the subject of
this sketch, few days ago, his whole
concern seemed to be for the cause of
our imperiled Union and its free insti-
tutions.
Two obituary notices, written by
friends of the deceased who knew him
well, appear in this paper, and tell in
terms more appropriate than we can
command of his many excellencies.
Truly, Evansville has sustained an
irreparable loss in the death of Judge
Foster. 1--WE ne'er shall look upon his
like again"
