$4,000 for the purpose of providing Home for

The REBEL PRIvATEER ALABAMA was defeat
ed and sunk by the United States cruiser Kear-
sarge off Cherburg, on Sunday, June 49, The
engagement began between 10 and IL clock A.
NJ. and at 1910 the last shot was fired, when the
Alabama found to be in sinking condition.
The Kearsage had about fifty more men and
heavier guns than the Alabama, and a chain
cable triced along her sides to break the force of
the shot from the Alabama. Her fire proved
most destructive, and of the Rebel officers
admitted that they had been greatly mistaken
as to her strength. The Kearsarge but
slightly damaged and only three of her crew
were wounded. Of the Alabama, 6 men were
killed, IL wounded and drowned, 6S captured
Capt. Semmes, with IA officers and II men, were
picked up by an English steam-yacht. When
the Kearsage searched for Semmes her men
were told by the English that Semmes was
drowned

The passage of the bill by.Congress in relation
TO the States which have been formally declared
TO be in instruction, takes from them the right
to vote at the next Presidential election, and will
reduce the number of votes of the electoral col
lege upon the election of President and Vice
President of the United States to two hundred
and forty-one. One hundred and twenty-one
will therefore be necessary to a choice. The
States which will participate will be the follow

will decline the privilege of State sovereignty.

CORRECT SPEAKING.-We advise all young
people to acquire, in early life, the habit of cor
rect speaking and writing, and to abandon as
early as possible, any use of slang words and
phrases. The longer you live, the more difficult
the acquisition of correct language will be; and
if the golden age of youth, the proper season for
the acquisition of language, be passed in it's
abuse, the unfortunate victim of neglected edu-
cation is, very properly, doomed to talk slang
for life. Money is not necessary to procure his
education. Every man has it in his power. He
has merely to use the language which he reads,
instead of the slang which he hears; to form his
taste from the best speakers and poets in the
country.

PARsoN BRowNLow TO His SUBSCRIBERS
This issue of our paper will be the last going
out from CINCINNATI, and the next and all future
issues will come from Knoxville direct, vta
Nashville.
Those who are opposed to the late Baltimore
ticket, setting fourth Lincoln and Johnson, and
the anti slavery platform they stand upon would
do we'll not to patronize us, for stand with
these candidates upon the same platform! And
all who are in sympathy with this rebellion, or
have plates of copper on their heads, would do
well not to subscribe for our Sheet as they will
frequently get their feelings hurt. And all who
are for &C Peace" for the Cleveland or Chicago
nominees for the Presidency, would do well to
have no fellowship with paper; for we are
for Lincoln and Johnson and for the war to
the bitter end.
We will thank papers friendly to our cause, to
insert this card once, a means of giving infor-
nation to the people abroad.

Spelling the Egyptians.

SpO1I1ng the EgypC1anS.
The vicksburg Herald tells the following cap
tai anecdote:-
An officer of regiment in camp not more than
thousand miles from Vicksburg who had not
seen paymaster for time he "didnt know
when,' fortunately hit upon plan to turn
penny"
Yankee officer donned the full uniform of
rebel officer, and thus equipped, he went out
to promenade" the streets of our city. Present.
ly he met couple of young ladies, who graceful
ly accosted him with chow do you do? We
are so glad to see you? Where did you come
from"
Officer saw at once that they were I" well met"
and quickly replied that he had been taken
prisoner i'm the back country, and was in the
city on parole. The patriotic ladies lost no time
in giving him an invitation to tea with them,
which he politely accepted.
1t is needless to say that the supposed Confed-
crate officer had sumptious board prepared for
him, and was treated in the most courteous man
ner. During the tete-a-tete our dear Reb. lost no
opportunity in dropping kind words and return
ing fattering smiles, which soon secured for him
the young ladies' affection.
He also ntimated that the Yanks were very
cruel to him, and that he expected rough time
before his exchange effected, and that he
was expecting to leave the city in few days.
Upon his arising to retire, the ladies sugges-
ted that he might need some money among the
cruel Yanks. He very readily took up with the
suggestion, and the 'household of the faithful -
made up for him the snug little sum of one
hundred dollars.
Officer took /" bee line" for camp and DOTTED
his rebel uniform, and found himself 500 in
pocket, and the satisfaction of adding bit to his
stock of experience.
HARD ON THE WALKERs.-The following is
from a late rebel paper:

eral Henry A. Walker of A. p. Hills CORPS lost

In ID. III. Hills attack on the intrenched camp
at Bermuda Hundred, Brigadier General Will
liam s. Walker was severely wounded in the
foot, and taken prisoner.
Major General III. r. Walker was shot through
the foot in the recent engagement near Dallas,
Georgia, between johnson and Sherman.
The commander of the Stonewa1 brigade, Gen.
James L. Walker, badly wounded in the
great battle of May IL, when Ed. Johnson's di-
vision suffered considerable loss.

Two ROGUEs INSTEAD OF ONE.-An amusing
incident is related of woman in England whose
husband, very wealthy man, died suddenly
without any will. The widow DESTROYS of Sc
curing the whole property, concealed her hus-
bands death and persuaded poor shoemaker
to take his place while will could be made
Accordingly he was closely muffled up in bed as
if sick, and a lawyer was employed to write the
will. The shoemaker in feeble voice bequeath-
ed half of all the property to the widow. "What
shall be done with the remainder?" asked the
lawyer. "The remainder give and bequeath
to the poor little shoemaker across the street,
who has always been good neghbor and a de-
serving - thus securing rich bequest to
himself The widow was thunderstruck with
the mans audacous cunning but did not dare
expose the fraud and so two rogues shared the
estate

WOOD PApER.-Among the substances
which have been proposed as material tor
paper, wood has given occasion to expccta-
tons Of successful results more or less san
guinc. That it may be made into paper,
will cause less surprise, when it is consider.
cd that even fax and cotton are in reality
species of woody fibre. The following
process for the conversion of wood into
paper Is now being tried at Nantes, in
France. The wood is stepped, in the form
of shavings for considerable time in strong
nitric acid. When taken out of the acid,
the shavings are immersed in solution of
carbonate Of soda, which forms nitrate Of
soda, and at the same time violently tears
asunder the fbres from each other, by
means Of the carbonic acid gas, liberated
from the carbonate Of soda by the nitric
acid. The fluid is then separated from the
fbres by filtration, when, in this case, is
a leading process. The fbres thus obtained
ere Of deep brown color, and require a
large quantity of bleaching salt to whiten
them. The vast demand that has arisen
for paper renders it highly important that
new sources Of it should be obtained. And
processes which are capable Of producing
it, though at present Objectionable on the
score of expense, or some other reason,
may perhaps ultimately be rendered both
economical and convenient. That just no..
ticed has unfortunately been very unwhole-
some, on account of the large quantity of
vapor given off by the strong nitric acid !;
this Inconvenience may however, most like.
ly, to be removed.

Dtsc1IP1roN or ATtAxrA.-This towr,
before the war, was important merely as q
fourishing business and railroad CENTRE
II was the county town Of Fulton, Georgia.
The Inhabitants Of the surrounding planta.
tons came there for justice and for trade.
Largo quantities Of cotton and grain found
here either market or shipment for tho
scaports. The people were active and in.
dustrious, aud net with a mer;ted growth
ia wealth.
There are three railroads which termi.
nate at Atlanta-the Georgia road, connect.
ing Atlanta with Augusta; tho Macon and
Western road to Macon, and the Western
and Atlantic read to Chattanooga, Tenn
A few miles south Of Atlanta branches the
Lagrange Railroad, connecting Atlanta with
West Point, on the Chattahoochee river,
at the Alabama line, seventy-tve miles dis.
tant. By means Of these railroads Atlanta
in former times connected with ali parts Of
the United States, and until recently was
the greatest railroad point in the hands Of
the enemy.
The city was laid out in 1s45, and has
now become one Of the most populous in
Georgia. In 1860 its population consisted
Of about twelve thousand resident inhabi.
tants, and since the war has increased to
almost double that number, the surplus
being made up Of government officials and
employees. The city contains several
hotels, a court house and some fine blocks
of buildings. Since the war it has become
an catense government depot and manu-.
featuring centre. Hero are located the
principal shops of the railroads joining
here; the most extensive rolling mill in the
South, foundries and machine shops, pistol
factory, shops for the manufacture Of mis-.
cellaneous government articles and two
laboratories.

MARX TnIs.-The Springfield Mass
Republican, a Lincoln journal, says that the
pleasant discovery has just been made off.
cially that the 100 days men are to be
credited proportionatcly to the towns and
cities furnishing them. Let the people Of
illinois, of Indiana, Of Ohio and Iowa,
mark this new development in the dealings
of the administration With Massachusetts,.
That fanatical state, which has done more
to provoke the war, has sent fewer men to
fight in the war, and has made more money
out of the war than any other, is to be
credited with her hundred day troops, while
the western States are officially advised
that their thousands of hundred day men
are not to be credited at all This, too, at
solicitation of their chief executives Yates,
Morton, Brough and Stone-whose duty it
was to see that their people were not wrong
ed and outraged by the imposition of un.
equal burdens upon them!
We simply ask that the people Of Illinois
will review the conduct of the Lincoln ad-
ministration toward this pestilent abolition
SoIae, and contrast it with the treatment
we ourselves have received. Can it be
possible that after such shameless and open
davoritism, Abraham Lincoln will return to
the State he has SO cruelty wronged at the
expira ton Of his disgraceful term p
