Fort Pillow.

This post having again assumed some
thing of the notoriety it had two years ago,
IL may be well to recall some items of Its
former history stleEl rLts1
Fort Pillow is situated about sixty-fve
miles above Memphis, on the tennessee
bank of the Mississippi. 1t is one of series
of Notifications erected on the Mississippi,
at the commencement of the rebellion. for
the purpose of closing the navigation OF the
river. The series consisted of Columbus,
Ky., Island No. 10, Fort Pillow. Fort
Wright, Vicksburg and Port Hudson, be-
sides various lesser Notifications at availa-
Bile points. The fort was heavy earth
work, and was named after Gideon
J, Pillow, of Mexican ditch digging
fame. When Flag Officer Foote COM
menced his bombardment of Island
No. 10, Beauregard, then in command
at Corinth, strengthened the fort planting
heavy guns, erecting casemates, and other
wise making 1t as formidable for defense as
possible. 1t was erected on bluffs one hund-
red and fifty feet high, and possessed natu-
raj advantages not easily surmounted by an
attack from the river. After the fall of Is
land No. 10 the position was still farther
strengthened, as then that presented the
only barrier, except Fort Wright, to the ad-
t.yance of the Federal fleet. Flag-officer
/ Davis, who superseded Foote, commenced
the bombardment of the Fort early in April.
1862, and continued, with trifling Interrupt
| tions, to throw his missiles into the place
| until June A, when it and Fort Wright were
evacuated by the rebels in consequence OF
| the operations of Gen. Halleck compelling
the abandonment of Corinth by Beauregard.

Appalling Disaster in New York
Harbors


A frightful explosion took place on Fri
day afternoon, in New York Bay. Hardly
two hours had passed after the gunboat
Chenango had left the Navy Yard, before
a fearful explosion took place. Thirty-three
men were severely scalded. They were
taken to the Marine Hospital
The following is description OF the
scene at the Hospital.
+ About thirty noble men, in all stages OF
suffering and torture, were lying OUT
stretched upon beds, their bodies raw
mass of burning fiesh-somes screaming IN
intense agony, others moaning. pitlfully,
while others were quiet and subdued, thelr
blackened and swollen faces showing plain
ly the acute suffering within. AS soon as
they arrived they were bathed IN OIL anu
lime water, and covered with a coPious
covering of flour. which kept the air from
the raw flesh. Everything that medical
skill and science could afford was done ior
the poor unfortunates. Seldom does one
witness such heartrending scene. Men
who but few short hours before were en-
loving all that makes life happy, were
now but mass Of living fire ana agony.
The cries of some of them were terrible.
Some had lost their reason In consequence
of the excruciating. suffering they were
undergoing. Others were hurriedly and
feebly drawing their last life-breath. One
Law a corpse, having died in being trans
ferred from the Navy Yard TO the nospltal.
We noticed one mans head which was 80
swollen that 1t might have been taken ior
the head of an enormout giant. One poor
fellow, landsman, uucomplainingly sald
to us, ''why did Heaven send such calam- ALAN
ity upon us? l had just shipped, What,
Oh what, will my poor mother say -
Scarcely any Of them could talk much-in
fact SO little that it was impossible to s get
any reliable particulars of this sad accident.
One voung man told us that the vessel was
terribly shattered, the spar deck as well as
the hurricane deck being torn to fragments
over the boiler. Further than TINS iittle
could be learned. Scarcely man could pc
found that could tell the names OF hall
/ dozen persons on board the ship at the time
of the disaster, owing to the fact that the

GERS say Is the position of Porter in this
matter. The Admiral It seems, has found

to seize all that comes within the range o.

on the way down. He says 1t belongs either

The Fremont Convention at 0levelan'



The New York Ne,o Mutton of Saturday
contains an important announcement to the
effect that the friends of General FREMONT
are to hold a Convention In Cleveland on
the 2lst of May. 1t calls upon all men OF
minds like It's own to hold township Con-
ventions, &C., thereby ''telling the gentle
men that the friends of FREMONT are big
enough to take care of themselves and that
they intend choosing for themselves" The
Ne,c Nation advises every one .'at once to
give up the idea of taking part in the Balti-
more Convention"
The Cleveland Leader, having committed
itself to the fortunes of Abraham the First,
pitches into this Fremont movement right
and left. 1t don't relish the idea of Free
mont Convention in Cleveland at all. But
the word has gone forth; the Fremont men
are determined and it can't be helped. The
Leader, while confessing its hearty sympa-
thy with the ultra radicals, scolds and frets,
and even callstheF Fremonters ''extremists," I"
and says their movement is predicated upon
the baseless assumption that ''the slavery
question could receive more immediate
and radical solution thanit is now receiving
from ABRAHAM LINCOLN" The Leader
vents its spleen at General FREMONT, who,
it charges, sis lending himself tothe work
of disorganization. The battle wakes hot,
and we may look out for some interesting
fights between the Fremonters and Lincoln
ties, when they get fairly at work, proscrib-
ing each other, and twitting one another
with being disorganizers, secessionists and
4 traitors. Let this sort of war go on, nc
matter which whips.

Now AND THEN.-There is sharp point
in the remark of the New York Times that
less than three years ago the Abolitionists
in Congress indorsed Mr.. CRIrTENDEN's
celebrated resolution, which declared that
the "war was not for the subjugation" of
the people of the South. NoO they censure
members for saying that the South cannot,
and ought not to be subjugated. In other
words, they censure gentlemen for affirm
ing what they, by solemn enactment, have
declared was right and the true policy.

How to Ascertain the Actual Vnlue
of our Paper Currency.


Gold Is the standard OF value. 1t is COM
mon to say in these times that gold is in
creasing or declining in value or price
while the truth is. there is very little fluc-
tuation in the actual value or price of gold,
which remains about the same. The real
state of the case is, 1t is the paper currency,
not gold, that fluctuates invalue from day
to day, and produces the speculation about
which such an outcry is made. The correct
way of stating the case is to say, and then
people would understand the fact as 1t eX-
lists, that paper money is at 4 discount, as
for example, instead of saying that gold is
at I75. we should say that our paper cur
rency is worth 81 IT cents on the dollar, or
! at discount of AZ ca per cent. Gold does
not advance; it is paper that goes down.
7 A cotemporary suggests the following rule
for readily ascertaining the value in gold
of dollar in paper currency, which any
one can readily apply: Multiply 100 by
100, and divide it by the price at which gold
is said to be selling. Thus, if gold is quo
ted at 175, divide 10000 by it, and the quo
tient is 81 1T. The value of paper dollar
is then 81 II cents in gold. Subtract this
from 100, and you have the discount on pa
per, which will be 50 G-7 per cent.
The same rule may be used, with the ex-
ercise of little calculation, to astertain the
gold value of United States bonds or other
stocks. II, for instance, when gold is quo
ted 175, the bonds are quoted at 1l5, the price
of dollar in bonds is 10 cents less than the
price of dollar in gold; in other words, il
takes 81 60 in the bonds to obtain dollar
in gold. Then, by dividing 10000 by l6O
according to the rule, we have 621s, show
ing that dollar in the bonds is worth 62hS
cents in gold, or which is the same thing
that the bonds are at discount of 3711s pei
cent.

p;ttsburc district nbounds. Mr.. karsk 2, o

smelling process. The ore selected for th'

claim. and although the arrangements made
were quite imperfec-, the result was tar be
yonl the most sanguine expectations. some
fourteen pounds of metal be ng obtained, con-
timing. it is estimated, not over five pei
cent. dross. We look upon this experiment
as very encouraging to those holding inter.
ests in the Pittsburs district, and to our citi-

bilitv of reducing the ore at our doors, and
keeping ut home capital that otherwise won'd
be diverted to other points. The esti
