For the Spirit Of the Age.
The Home OF MY Childhood.
EVA I,EN0Y.

Like the gentle ripiiug of @a%pearly stream,
like the murinur of soft winds at eventide, steals
over me the thoughts of nv dear cid nome far
away On the plains of the little Palmetto. The
evening Lour-the silvery noon as she rides
qleen of the soft summer night-the twinkling
stars whose beams lend brightness to the hour
'.all take me back to the spot where frst / learned

Tears, burning, scaldlDg tears, course their way

around morning and evening, offering sacrifice
TO our Heavenly parent, each feeling in bis heart

grateful acknowledgement to Him, who giveth to

WOMAN IN SLCKNEss.-What sight is more
agreeable than woman around the couch Of
pain-wiping the sweat from the brow, ana
administering to the. sick !? Like an angel
of mercy, she watches unwearied, and never
leaves the sufferer, while her presence can
bless and her words cheer. 1t may be a
father or a SON, over whom. she bends, or a
stranger who has left a mother or q kind
sister beyond the seas. She watches every
movement-hears every breath. With such
care the bed of sickness loses half its pains,
and hope continually swel1s in the bosom.

Official Dispatches TO the War DE
partment.
WASHINGTON, May 90.
TO Major General Dig:

hAsHlNGION, May 10.
To Major General Dtr:
Dispatches from Major General Candy,
dated at the mouth of Red river at mid
night, May 10Th, states that Admiral Porter
has just arrived. The remainder of the
gunboats will arrive tonight. Gen. Banks
will probably reach Semmesport on the
Atcchafayala tomorrow.
A dispatch from Admiral Porter, dated
on board the flag ship Black Hawk, at the
mouth of Red river, May 10th, states that
the portion of the squadron above the falls
at Alexandria have been released from their
unpleasant position, owing to the indefati-
gable eNertiOns of Lieut.. Col. Bailey, Acting
Engineer of the Sth and 9th army corps,
who proposed and built tree dam of six
hundred feet across the river at the lower
falls, which enabled all the vessels to pass
in safety, the back water reaching to Alex
andria and allowing them to pass all over
the shoals and the distractions planted by
the enemy to point of safety. Lieut.. Col.
Bailey will be Immediately nominated for
promotion for distinguished and meritorious
services.
An official report from Cairo, dated May
22d, states that the army and gunbOats were
all safe at the mouth of the Red river and
Semmesport.
Major-General Sherman, by q dispatch
dated at $50 P. NJ, last night, reports that
he would be ready by this morning to re-
sumo his operations. Returned veterans
and regiments, he says, have more than re-
placed all losses and detachments.
We have no official reports since my last
telegram from General Grant or General
Butler.
Official reports of this department show
that within eight days after the great battle
at Spottsylvania G. H., many thousand vet
eran troops have been forwarded to General
Grant. The whole army has been amply
supplied with full rations of subsistence
Upwards of twenty thousand sick and
wounded have been transferred from the
field to Washington hospitals, and placed
under surgical care. Over eight thousand
prisoners have been transported from the
field to prison depots, and large amounts of
artillery and other implements of an active
campaign brought away.
| > Several thousand fresh cavalry horses
have been forwarded to the army, and the
| great Army of the Potomac is now fully
as strong in numbers, and better equipped,
| supplied and furnished than when the
campaign opened. Several thousand rein
| forcementS have also been forwarded to 9TH
er armies in the field, and ample supplies to
all. During the sametime over 10000 vol
unteers for hundred QC0) days, have been
mustered into the service, clothed, armed,
equipped and transported to their respec-
tive positions. This statement is due to the
chiefs of the army staff and bureau, and
their respective corps, to whom the credit
belongs. (Signed)

FIRE AND MARINE INsuRANcE.-The val
ue of an insurance policy, it is very true,
is perfectly understood until the oc-
currence of loss, and then it is found the
magic power by which losses are repaired
and business renewed. The Springfield
Fire and Marine Insurance Company, ad-
vertised in another column of this paper,
will be found to be one of the best, most
responsible and reliable Companies extant,
and those who desire to insure, need 60 to
no other to secure certain guarantee
against loss by fire or the disasters of the
flood. A. Gardner, Jr, is the Agent, and
his Office is at No. 107, South High Street.

What the Richmond Sentinel Says.
Z. NJ. STANTON,
Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The Richmond
Sentinel of the 10Th inst. contains the fol-
lowing: The Coniederates find q source OF
great encouragement and abundant reasons
for thankfuln9ss over their present pros
porous fortunes.
If we can conquer now, and God is Civ
ing us the promise of it, our work will be
done. The reasoning and the fears of the
enemy assure us of this. Grants army is
the last head and front of this horrid war.
This is the time, therefore, for every man
who can strike blow for his country to
render his aid. Let every one assist in
whatever sphere is open to him. Ourselves
and our substance-let all be cheerfully and
zealously rendered as may be needed or
called for, until this great fight is DONE
The weak and helpless ones who can
not lift the spear of battle, or assist
in active employment, may do as the
friends of Esther did when the fate of
nation hung on her efforts-they can be-
seige the throne Of heaven with fervent
suplications that its blessings may be upon
those who, on the part of the Confederacy,
are conducting the great issue.
We have much to stimulate and encour-
age us. The news of yet another victory
has just come down from Gen. Lees army.
Butler has been driven to cover. The
oOIiuo no
Let us strike on and strike hard for our de-
liverance and rights.
The news reached us yesterday morning
that there had been fighting in Spottsylva-
mia. The report brought at represented
that Grant had made heavy assault on
Lees right at or near Stanard's Mills, had
met with his usual success in his Virginia
operations, very heavy repulse. The tel
eegraph may bring us more accurate dates
before going to press.
There was some firing on the South Side
yesterday, together with some skirmishing,
though we have not learned that it was OF
material consequence. We have any num-
Der of reports as to the movement of the
enemy, but we believe there has been no
material change up to this time, since Smith
sought his Notifications.
The reader will find dispatch relative to
the Mississippi operations, which will
give him comfort according to his faith.
For ourselves we confess that we are wait
ing for its confirmation. We have been de-
luded enough with news from that quarter
to teach us caution. At the same time the
result asserted is not to be considered as
improbable.
Banks was undoubtedly in desperate
stuation, surrounded by superior forces;
his navigation interrupted and suspended.
His pride, however, would make him re-
fuse to surrender until reduced to eXtremi-
ties. He is fighting for the Presidency, and
to surrender is not the road to it.

MenYy SIsirmisIiiny.

New YORK, May 23.-The Tribune's Tenth
corps correspondence, dated Thursday
morning, says the rebels advanced on our
intrenched line across the Peninsula and
engaged our pickets, but were driven back.
Firing OH our skirmish line during the day
was incessant. Our wounded will probably
number one hundred and fifty. Towards
dusk the rebels made vigorous attempt to
force our skirmishers from the roads but
without effect. Our dcfenses have been
greatly strengthened. Rebel deserters rep
resent the enemy's force as 10000 to 10000,
under Beauregard. Last Thursday morn
ing rapid artillery firing commenced in
front of Ames' division, but ceased soon
after, probably temporarily. The rebel
batteries in the ravine on our front, then
commenced pounding away at the woods
on the right, dropping shells into our works.
Fighting was expected on that day, as the
rebels hope to take our position.
