Some freighters belonging to the fail
brigade Of carts from St, Cloud, arrived
here on Saturday, the 9th inst, and
the balance, several hundred, have
come in since then. There was large
demand for -four this year at St. Cloud
to supply oGr people and some of the
trains were delayed sixteen days there
befole; they Could complete theft loads.
Whi& NE brigade demand remained

and is believed to have committed many
murders. He was IN the raiding party

1t was while he was on his way home
from this raid, that he was captured BY

his guilt, and that he deserves to swing

IN st. Cload, when the sun was low,
All bootless came a man you know,
And dark as winter va. his brow,
For BURBANK's made he rapidly.
But St. Cloud saw another sight
The man was dressed in better plight,
For Boots and Cost and Hat had he.
And praised he BURBANK joyously..
To spread the news he wasn't slow,
But through the country he did 90,
And told to all, by fields and woods,
That BuRBANK had just received from

Loss. OF THE CONFEDERATE STEAMER
JUNo.-From late arrival at a Confede-
rate port, we regret to learn of the total
loss of the Confederate steamer Juno, Phil
lip Pereher, G.. s. ~, Lieutenant COM
manding, with all her officers and crew,
about 27 in number, excepting the pilot,
W. J. Burke, and Assistant Engineer, j.
Fl. Dent. The Juno ran the blockade of
this harbor about five weeks ago with a
cargo of about two hundred bales of cotton
on Government account. On the night of
her departure very heavy blow sprung up
which afterwards increased to gale, and
on the second day out, when about one
hundred miles from this port, the vessel
encountering heavy sea, suddenly parted
apidships. The vessel being of iron the
bow sunk instantly, and in few minutes
afterwards the stern Also disappeared, lea.
wing nothing but the spars and small frag-
ments of the upper deck afoat. The sur
vivors, Dent and Burke, were discovered
on the evening ofthe third day a little be-
fore dark floating on spar, by Capt. Ha-
benioht, of the schooner Petrol. The I'M.
fortunate men had been in the water six.
teen hours, and were almost ready to give
up from exhaustion. Charleston Courier.

In the reorganization of Grants army there
are enumerated thirty two brigades; which,
estimating the average Of a Yankee regi.
ment at three hundred and fifty men, would
give Grant about forty four thousand in
fautsy. These figures are not the result Of
speculation, but of an investigation, the
full particulars of which we need not give
here. It is supposed that Grant cannot con.
venieptly or prudently draw any large re-.
Inducements from Tennessee or Mississippi,
as he certainly could not replace his garri-
sons in the West by colored troops or other
Indifferent material. He will have to look
for reinforcements from unimportant posts
in the North and from his coast lines, and
from these if he draws twenty thousand men
he, will have gone to the. extent of his
present resources.
The movements Of Forrest, until he is O.
gain within our lines, will necessarily be the
attraction in the West The public specu-
lation maps out for this gallant and adven-
turous command an extended field of oper.
ations and important results: Some sup
pose that Nashville may be the object,
while others imagine Forests certain cap
ture Of Memphis before he rsfurns to his
original base Of operations. But this, Of
course, ID all conjecture. His invasion Of
Tennessee and Kentucky may be apart Of
a general plan Of campaign, involving other
important movements; or it may be entire
ly Independent of all connection with the
movement of all other armies and commands.

self that bleeding might have atehdency to
check the disease. With this view he bled
his pigs in the roof Of. the mouth, and with
the most beneficial results, having lost but
two pigs out of his large stock since he
commenced this mode of checking the dis
ease. We hope that our friends in the
coun try who have diseased swine will try
the experiment, and, by this simple remedy,
save their bacon.
The Farmers Friend says Hundreds Of
hogs have died in this county, within few
months, of disease that has bafaed the
skil,of the best swine doctors. A remedy
has been discovered, however. A gentle
man informs us that if planters will boil
their corn in a strong tea, made Of green
pine tops, and feed the same to their hogs,
it will effect speedy cure. Tryit.

THE PROSPECT.

"Hope tellsa Aattering tall" in the news
from the Trans Mississippi-but We fear
matters are exaggerated. Again, we hear
Gen. Chalmers has oaptured Fort Pillow,
with from eight to twelve hundred negroes;
these, we presume, will be very stusefnl on
the coast" place where any number Of
contrabands can nsalways be spirited away,
whether needed or not.
The new year has been fruitful of success
with us, and our leaders seem actively en-
gagged to secure continuance. Our forces
in the military field of operations, are being
greatly strengthened, though by some it is
feared at tae expense Of other as important
fields. Que thing is certain, the enemy are
making the most stupendous preparation
the necessity Of reducing Richmond, has
become to them . dire necessity, for in it
seems to hang, with them, the destiny of
Mr.. Lincoln, and has s0ar. We haveevery
faith in onr cause, and look upon the pres
ens as the most cheering signs since the
commencement of the war-let our people,
then, come promptly to the support of the
authorities in this trying hour, and, then
ve may talk Or write of settling difficulties
10 the cabinet, instead of in the field. We
can whip the Yankees, We have whipped
them in every fair field, and will do it again
and again, Dec Kolente.
