CAIRO, March 81.
Paducnh is in ruins. Forrest with
seven Thousand men formed a line of
battle 2ilS miles long, on Friday after
noon, in the city, and demanded the sur
render Of the fort. Col. Hicks refused.
The fight ragged all afternoon. The reb-
els mosscd their troops and assaulted the
fort, and were rcpulsed four times. Their
sharpshooters fired from buildings at the
troops in the fort and on the gunboa,s.
The garrison and boats fired at the build
ings, knocking them down and setting
them on fire, While the fight was go-
ing on parties of the enemy plundered
stores and carried of horses. The gun.
boats fired two rounds. They had three
wounded. The captain of the Pawpow
received n scratch from a mimic ball on
the cheek, and a ball went through his
pantaloons. The troops in the fort had
four killed and forty six wound cd. For
rest took about forty convalesccnts, in
the hospital, prisoners. The enemy hud
800 killed aud 900 wounded. The lat
ter were taken to Moyfcld byrail. The
former lie about the fort unburicd.
Col. Hicks is entitled TO great praise
for his heroic defense. Tho rebel Brig
adler General A. p. Thompson, formerly
of Paducah, was killed. Col. Hicks cap
tured rebel surgeon who says Forrest
intended surprise, and felt fully able to
take the fort. Four negroes, who served
che artillery, were killed and wounded.-
All were shot n the head. The citizens
are cncampcd in the woods on the Iii
nois side. Several women we're killed.
Yesterday Forrest sent flag of truce
to exchange prisoners, but Col. Hicks
would not do il. The enemy left at 3
p. NJ, going in the direction of Co!um'
bus. TIL ~ are said to have captured HicL-
man this morning.

The Pomroy Circular again.

We received last week an eight page
pamphlet entitled, "Tng NEXT rkEsipES-
rIAL ELECTION" We were greatly sur
prised in looking over its pages to hnd
ns author and its candidate, both nnony-
nous, und.Ihc tone aud con,en.s Of said
Iumphlct bitterly opposed to tho rc-elcc'
ton Of Mr.. LINCOLN ~ the second term
That is evidently something lis getters
up are decidedly opposed TO, and at the
same TIN" will not change the popular
feeling with the people for his re-elec-
tion. His reelection TO the Presidcn-
tinl Chair 10 a fixed and settled matter
with the loyal people. About the eornest-
ness OF the objections put forth in the
PcsRoy ClxcrLAR, there will be various
opiuiUns. The Corpcrhcnds, who orc in
alliance with the rebels in the South, are
much pleased with this Circular, aud are
already bunstirg and chuckling over ll'
eoni,n,s. MIR. P,nRoy is pursuing a
e,urse that " III no, add any new laurels
,u his head. Well, be that as II mny,
ponR,y, can either support MIR. LINCOLN
or have il ul,nc, His opposition will
do him 10 il juiy, aud in all probability
will udd greatly 10 his success. As re-
CARDS opinions, ,very man has a right to
his own, so he come bv II in an honorO-
bic way aud expresses il honestly. Every
honest man that hHs rcud this circular
will come 20 the conclusion that an
onymous pamphlets are not-cxac,ly cal.
culStcd to do Mr.. LINCOLN any damage
irrublie opinion to advance the inter
,sts Of any oihor candidate. Slandcr in-
iurCs no Tublic man, when the author Is
at less for facts. Mr.. PcMRoy should
have known this, and that mere assor.
,ions do rot russ for proof in these days,
II is also very bud policy TO traduce a
warm and loyal md OF the country, 10
gucttion his motives aud denounso his
actions, simply because he does not think
and act precisely as others probably
wculd ifIhey occupied the same position.
Those who do not wish To nominate
Mr.. Lincoln can secure their purpose by
pointing cut u better man. II they can
sa,isiy the Iublic mind that there is one
who is more patriotic, devoted, honest
and capable, who, taking all things to-
go;her, will better serve the country, we
guarantee his NJ minaiion. Let them do
that, ard all The people will be grateful
for their service. But they will not be
likely 10 approve Of the course come per-
sons ndop,, as in the pamphlet before Us.
Lurking ussnssins, who stab a, the Presi.
dent ia the dsrk, are not objects of ad.
mirution 10 any. The man who would
seek TO destroy the character of the Pres.
ident, merely to improve the chances of
another for his position, is not very pat
riotic, nor is his candidate likely to find
invor. A more manly eorse would secure
a better reception. Say what you can in
sapport Of your choice. lyon are right
the people will see il. Ifyou cant make
them see il, you may believe you are mis-
taken In him. Give Mr. Lincoln the
credit he has earned. Give others the
same. Anddonr sc, into passion if,hey

and witty withal, upon the
stand, questioning him upon his ability
to loan money and give credit, resorting
to all sort of in;errogatorics to draw from
him state ment Of the amour, OF his
property and in what it consisted-in
fact how much he was worth. The old
gentleman considered the question rath-
er impudent, for he was quite wealthy,
answered that he had wife he sl,oays
called dear; boy and girl he would not
sell for any money; a mortgage on two
cows down casts nice litter of pigs and
