THE SUNNY SIDE.

When darkest hours of sadness
Come stealing DER the heart;
When false ones dare receive thee,
And from thy side depart;
Peer mp beneath the anguish,
And breast the sinking tide,
For DER the vale of shadows,
OH, there's a sunny side.
Let early ties be broken.
whichever thou hold'st dear:
II matters but little,
The Trial how severe!
For there are many others
In whom thou canst cnnfide,
Where'er thy sad heart pineth
Yes, there's sunny side.
Our lifetime here is leeting,
Ii passeth soon away,
Like iancy's dreamy visions,
Aud Autumn's wan decay.
Then take thou hold in earnest,
Although before thou'st ttied
Life is made mp Of struggles,
There's yet sunny side.
This wide world may look dreary,
The tempest louder roar,
While every golden moment,
Thy life bC ats af to s,oe,
Delay not in thy efforts
Against the wind and tide,
To do what thou wouldst have TO do,
Upon the sunny side.

FROM CAIRO,

CAIRO, April Is.
No boats allowed to leave here for
points below Columbus since the first news
Of the Fort Pillow affair.
The attack on Psduesh yesterday
proved to be mere raid for plunder,
made by a couple hundred men who were
shelled out by the fort and gunbosts after
occupying portion Of the city about an
hour. They took away 8 number OF horses
and considerable plunder, leaving behind
half dozen killed and wounded. No
one hurt on our side.
Several guns were captured Dy Forest
at Fort Pillow, which were spiked before
falling into his hands, and others were
turned upon gunbost number 7, which
from exhaustion of ammunition, was
compelled to withdraw, although tin clad
she received only slight injury.
General Lee arrived and assumed COM
mand in the beginning Of the battle, pre-
vious to which Chalmers directed the
movement.
Forrest with main force, retired, after
the fight, to Brownsville, taking with him
the captured guns, while the steamer
inc on he tb,i,s LAY lay nnder flag Of truce tax
them Chalmer9, went ABOARD ana some OF
our officers showed them great Difference,
drinking with them, and showing them
other marks Of courtesy.
The NEST prominent among the said have
been Captain Woodruff, Ofthe 18Th Illinois
Infantry.
Two negro soldiers who were wounded
at Fort Pillow, were buried by the rebels,
but afterwards worked themselves out Of
their graves and were among those that
came up on the Platte Valley. They are
now in hospital.
The officers Of the Platte Valley and
Mound City received great credit from the
military and others for landing at Fort
Pillow at eminent risk, and taking ouI
wounded on board, and for the kind and
humane treatment manifested towards
them on the way up, and doing everything
possible to render aid and relieve theil
suferings.
Three other negroes were burned alive
by the rebels, making five in all, ell o.
them were wounded. They were forced
to help dig pits, and were then thrown il
and covered up. Chalmers said to th'
Federal officers, that it was their intention
to show no mercy to homemade Yankees
meaning Southerners in the Union army
and negroes, but genuine Yankees WoulC
/ be treated as prisoners Of war.

ST. LOUIS, April 10.
A correspondent Of the Union, who was
aboard Of the steamer Platte Valley, ct
Fort Pillow, gives even more appalling
description Of the iendishness Of the rebels,
than our Cairo dispatches. Many Of our
wounded were shot in the hospital, and the
remainder were driven out, and the hos
pital burned. The morning after the bat
tie the rebels went over the field and shot
all the negroes who had not died from
previous wounds. Many Of those who es-
csped from the works and hospitals who
desired to be treated as prisoners Of war
as the rebels said, we're ordered to fall in
to line, when they were inhumsnly =
shot down. OF 800 colored troops,
not more than fty-six escaped
massacre, and not one officer ths5 com
manded previous. Only four officers Of
the 18th Tennessee escaped death. Their
loss is so killed, and the remainder was
either wounded or captured. Chalmers
told this correct, although it was against
the policy Of his government to spare ne
gro soldiers and officers. He had done all
in his power to stop the carnage, at the
same time said he believed it was right.
Another officer said our white troops
would have been protected had they not
been found on duty with negroes. The
rebels endesvored to conceal their loss. II
was evident they suffered severely.
Colonel Reed, commanding Tennessee
regiment, was mortslly wounded.

biscuit factory Of Messrs. Joseph Robinson
& Co. in that city, was Miss Mary Nelson,
and she WAS accompanied by Mr.. Burrows
to whom che was to have been married
within few weeks. The party had not
been more than two minutes in the mill,
when a piercing shrek from Miss Nelson,
who had tarried slightly in their rear, made
them pause in terror. Her attention had been
attracted by sn Archimedesn screw which
was fenced BY brass rod breast high
but when she stopped to look ct it, her ex-
panded skirts were caught by the mschin-
cry, and when her friends turned to look
at her it was rapidly drawing her into its
grip. Mr.. Burrows clssped his betrothed
around the waist, and strove to draw her
bsok-but the steel Of her hoops had been
clutched by the wheels, and all his efforts
were poTerless. The engine dragged her
out Of her lovers arms, and Whirled her

her body was lsoersted and msngled al
