CAIRo, March 29-Forrest had about 1000
men ia the attack on Paducah His line of
battle was two aud half miles long. The
SIGHT lasted oil the afternoon. -Four assaults
we're made on the fort en- mdsSe each Of
which was repulsed with great slaughter to
the enemy Gunboats fred six hundred
rounds. A large portion Of the town is in
ruinr. The rebels plundered the stores and
carried of horses During the 6ght forty
convalescents in the hospital we're captured.
Forrest sent Gag Of truce to exchange pri-
soners, but Colonel Hcks declined Three
hundred rebel dead lie 10 trout Of our fort
Generals Harris and Burbrand we're with the
rebels, both from Paducah.
The Runboats participated in the late bat
tie at Padveah, opening fire simultaneously
with the fort on the enemy'r advance into the
city, and rendered valuable service through
out the engagement After being once re-
pulsed in their attack on the fort, Forrest
communicated 70 Colonel Hicks, demanding
the surrender Of the fort, troops and public
stores, promising if if the demand was com
piled with, our troops should be treated as
prisoners of war, but if compelled to storm the
fort they might expect no quarter
Colonel Hicks replied that he was placed
there to defend the fort which he should do,
and reremptorily declined to surrender The
enemy then made a second and third assault
on the works, but were repulsed each time
with heavy loss The rebels then broke their
lines and formed in squads, occupied the
houses, and kept up fire till late in the eve
ming, when they were driven away by our ar
tllery being turned on them. On their way
into the city, the enemy fred the railroad de-
pot, which was cohsnmed, and toward evening
burned the QuartermAster's building, steamer
Decotah, and the marine railway, puniered
the stores, and took all the horses they could

give out, the fort should be defended by the
bayouet as long as man remained alive,
which was received with hearty cheers by
all the troops.

The National Debt weighed ana

The following curious suggestive caieula-
tons we're read by MI John Fair the other
day, before the Albany Democratic Assoeia.
ton
The NATIONAL DEBT Is STATED TO BIZ $4,000
600, 900.
1T has been said that this debt is so great
that it is TOO vast for comprehension. Now as
a practical man, l propose 10 weigh il and
measure il, that we may thereby obtain a
more definite idea Of its immensely.
"A silver dollar measures inches ia di-
smeter s. placed edge to edge will make
one foot in length, S24 so placed will make
one yard in length aud Sl2, $50 so placed will
make one mile in length. The earth is 81 600
miles in circumference Il would, therefore
require 1912 1884 900 to 60 once around it,
This vast sum must be multiplied by and l.
10 to make it equal to the amount of our ma
tional debt, which would make the silver dol
lars 90 around the earths circumference four
times, and cover 3 640 miles besides Allow
ing a silver dollar to an ounce, l6 to a pound,
1000 pounds 70 the ton, our debt would
weigh l25,000 tons, and would require l25
ships Of 1000 tons burthen each TO carry it.
1t would make 62,500 truck loads Of . tons
each, and calculating that each truck will COW
er space of 80 feet they would stretch dis
tance of 355 miles, and make a chain oftrucks
which would encompass the great cities of
New York Albany and Troy in an elliptical
line. 1t would take a man 365 years and 30
days to count the amount Of this vast debt
estimating that he would count $50 per min

The personal appearance Of Napoleon III.
would puzzle the most accurate observer of
physognomy. The face Of the man with the
iron mask is not more devoid OF expression
than is his. One may study it for hours with
out deriving the slightest satisfaction as to
the Emperors mental charactetistics Those
hshy, rayless eyes, the parchment-lke cheeks,
the stia, pointed moustache, all suggest sort
of artificial face prepared for the occasion,
while the real man, like the priestess of Apol-
10, lies hidden, and delivers short oracular re-.
sponses behind it. He is short in stature,
though his body is full the average size hence
be appears to greater advantage in a sitting
posture Of late years he has grown some
what corpulent, like the first Napoleon and
the other members of his family His habits
at the present day are said to be simple and
regular, perhaps necessarily so, If the stories
that are told Of bis early excesses be true
His appearance on horseback does great cred
it to his horsemanship, which is generally al
lowed to be the most skilllul in Europe. He
is very fond Of horses, and has that thorough
understanding of their nature which establish
es a certain sympathy between that animal and
his rider

The Explanation.

The Journal says that Col. Hawkins
surrendered to force "only three times as
strong as his own" and yet cannot ac-
count for the EmPirs's desire to do him
justice, upon any other hypothesis than
that he is copperhesd. Now, as the
JOuFndl's censure preceded our defense,
perhaps e may be attributed to the cop
perheadism of the Colonel especially as
that was about ths only fact in the matter
which could have been in the Journals $
possession at the early date of it's stric-
lures. That the Journal has got the
worst Of its own argument, will be the
more apparent when it is known that we
took Col. Hawkins to be Tennessee alb
olitionist, And that is our opinion still.
