FROM NEW YORK,

NEwSsYoRK, Feb. l9.
The Worlds Memphis correspondent
writes concerning Vicksburg operations,
that there are three plans under consider
alton. The one which will probably be
adopted is to enter Lake Providence, 70
miles above Vicksburg, cutting one or more
channels so as to reach the Tensas and Ma
con Bsyous, which form the Tensas river,
and which empties into Black river. The
latter is tributary Of Red river.
II succersful, it would probably result
in turning the Mississippi into the Atcha-
-falugy river, thus making the latter the
great river Of the continent.

HEADoUARTERsAR ARMY POrOMAO,

February 18. J
The Richmond Dispatch says, editOrially
that the North is fighting as much for self
preservation as Southern subjugation-
that the time has passed when the national
Government sought to extinguish the
South. Further prosecution Of the war is
to save the North from the avalanche Of
ruin which the success of the South must
precipitate.
Another article denounces John Van
Buren for turning political somerset and
repudiates all idea of mediation, recogni-
ton and Intervention as tending to retard
efforts for filing up the ranks Of the army
and says the present is the most critical
period Of the war.

Nicholas LOngwOrth's VIII.
The death Of Nicholas Lonqworth of Gin.

tons Of the estate. Mr.. LOngwOrth pays
the following tribute to his wife:
g In consideration Of her long and most
faithful life as a wife and mother, would
gladly have granted to her the entire con-
trol, IS wen as income Of my estate, but 1
well know that the management would
prove burden, and not a benefit to her,
during her declining years and trust
the provisions have made for her will
prove to be not only ample, but entirely
satisfactory to her"
After sundry small legacies to servants.
Sc, he devOtes $500 to improving and
keeping in repair, his burial place and
monument. To his grandson, John L. stet-
tinius he gives house and lot in

Sword PRESENTED. - Lieut.-Col.. T. F.
Wiles, of the 116th -son-in-law of
Geo. Robinson, Esq, of Ravenna-has been
made the recipient of splendid token of
appreciation by the officers and men in his
command. At the call for three hundred
thousand more" Col. Wiles, then prosperous
ly conducting the Messenger" newspaper,
at Athens, Ohio, exchanged his ready pen for
station in the field, which he is filling with
eminent success. The sword presented is a
richly finished weapon, chased with beautiful
devices, heavy and highly ornamented hilt,
with magnificent double-plated scabbard,
exquisitely inlaid with military and masonic
pearl emblems, and delicately engraved in
scription. The sword, with accompanying
fxings, cost some $500.

MANTUA.

REAL ESTATE TRANsFERs.-Rev. Mr.Far-
banks has sold his farm to Henry Messenger,
giving possession next autumn. Considera-
ton, $4,000 per acre. Mr. Fairbanks has not
yet decided his future location. DR.. Crafts
has bought the property known as the
wheeler place." near the premises of Mrs.
Sphinx.
SAD FRIGHT.--A few days since young
! lady, daughter of Mr.. Ridge, was frightened
to the verge of lunacy, and her friends yet
despair of her recovery. In a moment of
thoughtlessness, young man discharged
gun in her presence, and then feigned himself
shot, throwing the unfortunate lady into the
condition stated.
MANTUA MANUFA UFAcTUREs.-Messrs Gard
ner & Goddard are turning out large num-
ber of Jones' Union Harvester, crowdng the
capacity of their shop to its utmost, and yet
are unable to fill their orders. This firm also
manufacture portable saving machine for
which they have heavy orders. There is a
prospect that the first named gentleman, in
connection with other parties, may establish
similar works in Ravenna. There is fine
field here for such an enterprise, and it is hop
ed the project may be .consummated.
PROFESSIONAL AccEssIoNs. - Rev. Mr..
Hurlburt, lately of Wisconsin, has become
the pastor of the Baptist Church in Mantua
DIR. Tyler has opened an Office for the prac-
tiee of medicine at Mantua Center.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE CEMETERY.-The
new cemetery in Mantua has recently been
ornamented by transplanting to its limits one
hundred evergreens, at an expense of some
seventy dollars. The people of the township
are indebted to the enterprise of few citizens
for this recognition of the propriety of beau
tifying the city of the dead. 1t is a mark of
intelligence and refinement to witness liberal
ity and enterprise in such direstion. Every
township could well effect a similar improve
ment upon the cemeteries. 1t is to be re-
gretted that State law limits the amount
that can be raised by general tax for cemetery
purposes to fifty dollars a township per year
"A sum quite too small for the purpose.
This can well be termed illiberal legislation.
ALMOST A FIRE.-A few mornings since
the house of Lyman Reed was discovered to
be on fire. Through the timely exertions of
neighbor, the burning of the building was
prevented.
