Larz Anderson, of Cincinnati, has sent to the
East Tennessee Refugee Fund bequest of five
hundred dollars from the late Nicholas Long
worth, and added thereto gift of two hundred
and fifty dollars of his own.-State jour.
The fund for the relief of the people of East
Tennessee, has, throughout the North, reached
about 800, 900, of which sum the people OF
Massachusetts have contributed 81, ,8f3. Hon.
Edward Everett prints daily list of subscrip-
tiOns, averaging about 81 600, and before the
first of May it is highly probable that New En-
gland will contribute at least quarter of mill
lion to the suffering loyalists of East Tennessee
1t is important that the money be collected and
appropriated as speedily as possible, for the
Nashville Union says:
We know something Of the destitution exist
ing in the mountain regions of this State; we
witnessed it, in all its horrors, in December
last; and it has no doubt increased since that
time.
The country is fertile, and the people are IN
dustrious; but they have neither animals farm
ing utensils, nor seed grain; and their farms are
uninclosed. This summer they viii be protect

THE DEFENSE oF TUF LAKES

Welearn by the National HeteHiqence, that
the President has communicated to Congress
the report of Charles B. Stuart, Consulting En-
gineer, upon the Improvements to pass gunboats
from tide-water TO the Western Lakes. The En-
gineer assumes that upon the connection of those
Lakes with tide-water depend the jurisdiction
of our Government and the common defense and
welfare, and that the Mississippi river should
likewise be connected with the Lakes He mr.
ges that the great food producing region uses
this chain of Lakes for the transit of exports and
imports, which is line of communication at
present utterly defenceless; leaving the lake
cities to destruction by English gunboats on
declaration of war by Great Britain, infiicting
damage TO whicn the cost proposed by the i'm
provement would be utterly insignificant He
gives as the total estimate for improved gun
boat locks for the Erie, Oswego Champlain, and
the Cayuga and Seneca canals, with seven feet
of water, over $18000,000, and with eight feet
of water, over 2O,500,000, and the cost of a ca
nal around Niagara Falls at from $l0,000000 to
SI3,000,000

FOREIGN NEWS.

NEW York, April 3
The City of Cork, from Liverpool, March 90,
and Queenstown the Dist, arrived this morning.
The Cork Herald, of the morning of the Dist,
has the following:
COPENHAGEN, March I9.-Yesterday three
Prussian men of war attacked the Danish block
aiding squadron off Gricfswald, Ponicrma. AT
ter an engagement of two hours the Prussan
vessels returned TO the harbor
Artillery firing was renewed to-day at Dup
pei.
The Russian batteries opened on the Duppel
entertainments at o'clock on the morning OF
| the 10Th.
The enemy fired altogether 500 shops We
replied occasonly-irng in all 35 times. Our
enemy's batteries were silenced for some length
of time.
We had officers killed and l wounded, 16
privates killed and 49 wounded.
The bombardment of Duppel was resumed on
the 18TH
terrific cannonading was heard here.
BERLIN, March 20.-The Commander-in-
Chief of the Prussian navy has received re-
port stating that yesterday the Arcona, with
three gun-boats again put to sea in search of
hostile shipping. The cruise had no result,
however, all Danish ships having left Prussian
waters. The report concludes therefore, that
there can be no question of an existing blockade
of the Prussian coast.
LoUDsBURG, March 1s.-Tuesday there was
heavy cannonading and fighting all along the
line. Duppel village and the Tongeberg posi-
tion was taken by the Prussians after a fierce
resistance by the Danes.
The position of Duppel is still maintained
The Prussians always number four to one,
and their artillery have ranged as far as three
miles.
A Danish Colonel was killed to-day and 20
wounded brought in.
The enemy losses were severe The Danish

A MEAN ACF.-We understand that when the
committee appointed by the citizens of Lancas-
ter township to collect funds for local bounty
waited upon Ex-President Buchanan, they were
received very coolly and cavilierly. The "old
public functionary," when asked to subscribe,
said he did not think it right to raise volunteers
in that way, and that it was the duty of every
young man to serve his country, and he should
volunteer his services! that when he was Young
man he did so, and marched to Baltimore; but
that he would hold the matter under advise
ment, and the committee could call again.

The sold Wheel-horse of the Ohio Democra.
cy, Sam Medary, threatens to balk the party
team, if the reinsmen undertake to drive on the
war track. In his Crisis, speaking ofthe recent
State Convention, he says:
There can be no doubt about the fact. that
any attempt TO transfer the Democratic party on
TO a war platform will be resisted with more de-
termination than some men, who would sell the
country for an office, suppose. They want Meth

The troops, generally, fought with despera-
tion When it became impossible to hold the

the Fifty y-fourth, of fighting memory, were
brought up to cover the retreat; and manfully
did they do it. The Fifty fourth gave one de-
moniac yell, and then both these regiments, for
more than one hour, fought with the bayonet,
like infuriated dogs until the retreat was secur-
ed and they were ordered to retire Here let
me record an act which should be widely known
In returning with the wounded, the engine on
the Railroad gave out, when they were twenty
three miles out from Jacksonville and what

HAMILTON, THE GUERILLA.-We learn from the
Louisville Journal that Hamilton, the notoriou.
guerrilla Chief and two of his men, recently
captured at Celina, Tenn, by scout from Col
WeatheIford's cavalry regiment, arrived in that
city last Thursday evening. The Journal states
that Hamilton wears a sullen look, and his
whole appearance indicates his true character
sneaking, cowardly cut-throat. The men bean
the same vijlainous stamp as their chief, and are
fit subjects for summary punishment.
