This is bad.

Thou maiden, sweetly dreaming of thy loved one fa
away,
Thou knowest not he's dying in thickest of the fray
With thoughts of heaven-sweet mother-and of country
free
Aingle, the streamlet with the ocean, his dearest
thoughts Of thee.
Thou mother, sad and lonely, with vague and fearful
Thy darling boy ia sleeping among the honored dead
Thy father, with paternal pride telling thy sons good
part
He has falen mongst the baves pierced by the foe

And thus our Heavenly Father ordans with human love,
Parting in this world of sorrow, to reunite above.

IHH NEW YANKEE SENATORS FROM LoU1sIANA.-A
correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser, writing from
louisiana about the two new United States Senators
elected by the Yankee Legislature, says:
Mr.. King Guitar and MIR. Charles Smith are the
two individuals selected by the Yankee Legislature in
New Orleans to represent them in the q. States Sen
ate. Mr. King Guitar is a ffsh-rate lawyer, but is
locked On as great man, no doubt among the small
scay- wags of the bogus Legislature. After the war
had lairy opened, Guitar patriotic on the Con-
c ierate side that military company called the Cut
lar Guards, was organized in his honor-the expense
it is presumed coming out of his pocket. Nobody
surprised al bis turning Yankee, when it was dig
covered that it would pay to be traitor in New Or
leans because suspected Mr.. Guitar of be-
ing troubled with anything like conscience.
AS for Mr.. Smith, he is said to be from the parish of
St. Marys and when I tell you this, arrive at the
limit of my stock OF knowledge of that gentleman
Certainly, 1t was never suspe cted until of lae that
louisiana had statesman hid away among the sugar
and orange groves OF that beautiful parish of the
name of Smith. Judge Dureil, Mr.. Cutlbert Ballitt
and that profound philosopher and eminent man of SCI
ence, DR.. Doste, were in nomination, but Guitar and
Smith bore CIT the honors. Doste did not get vote
NOT even the vote of the that nomi mated him.

AN OLD MAN WHO HAS SHeT SIXTY PERsoNs.-The
Cairo correspondent of the ST. Louis Republican tells
this story:
"At point On the Tennessee river there is place
that become terror to steamboat men, and IN pas
sing it they always fnd place to themselves
till the boat passes At this point cid man, sixty
odd years of uge has made bis headquarters ior long
time and the peculiar crack of bis gun is familiar to
river men, and sends thrill of terror wherever it is
heard. He has long heavy barreIed gun, originally
squirrel rihs which has been bored out three different
times until now the largest thumb easily be turned
in the muzzle and the aim OF the old is one OF
deadly certainty.
The sentinel is always faithfully upon bis watch and
bis retreat has SO far bad all to catch him. from the
fact that he ia 80 surrounded with dense swamps and
deep raVines Well informed river men estimate that
this old has killed in this way not less than sixty
persons and yet he performs his work with as much
earnestness and vigor as when he first commenced"
The Albany Argus, (saya the New York Times) is,
OF course indignant at the attempted fraud In the SOL
ders' vote. lt says: Gov. Seymour is absent, but he
will demand of President Lincoln the release OF those
agents of the State and the return of the soldiers bal
lots to their destination, and if the Administration
fuses, it must accept the alternative"

.oRI OUR ARMY In TEzaEssEE,


JACKSONVILLE, ALA, October rs.
On Friday night last Generals Beauregard, Hood,
Cheatam, Lee, Ceburn Wallthall, Clayton and sever
al others made speeches to the army of Tennessee il
all Il which they stated that they going to
the river and march norhward Aud on the folio wing
morning the army broke up lts encampment at 6ads-
den, and took the roads leading to Gun ersviie. We
have news this morning that the river has been safely
crossed and that every hing is going we'll heart
could WISH You well imagine how those speeches
received aid with what aacrty ranks were form
ed and how elastic The tread the road towards the
beautiful Tennessee.
Up to that time there had been many doubts as to
the destination of Gen. Hood many suppcsng that as-
ter he destroyed the Chattanooga and Atlantic Rail
roaC he would fall back to this place and Blue Noun
tain and winter his army. This might have been bis
anticpations "hen he lett Middle Georgia. but 80 sue
cesstl bad h. been up 10 the time he reached Gadsden
that the whole army aud people with one accord de-
manded that standards should once more be unur-
ed over Murireesboro aad Nashville Nor need you
be at all astonshed hear of the Cumberland being
crossed Forrest leads tie head of the column and Gle
burne covers the rear.
Gen. Hood enters upon this campaign OF the head of
the hnest army marshaed this side of Virginia.
1t is Larger in number has better Generals aud it is in
better spirits than known before. 1t is per-
haps somewhat deficient 10 shoes and blankets but the
men all believe that they going to land where
abundance OF all these, and many things more will he
obtained
AS to the position of the enemy we know nothing,
save tnat fitzpatrick followed our army from Lafayette
to within Jew miles Of Gadsden and is perhaps still
upon that line, all else is supposiiion.
we know, however, that Sherman Will be obliged to
concentrate iu Middle Tennessee and there fight
pitched battle, that is if Hood does not seizs Bridge
port and Stevenson and thus force him to adopt
northern line of retreat Hood upon the interior line
and think there be hut little douos to the
suit of the race for Murfreesboro' ard Nashville
The country may rest satisfied that General Hood
will not withdraw from Tennessee his predecessors
did, without striking manly blow for the State" ii
ought to get twenty thousand new recruits in twenty
days, and as the Yankees there force every man to
JOIN one side the other, ana the State is just
as true TO the South as cur noble old mother
Georgia, you quickly decide as to which side
they will take.

the Edgefeld Advertiser writes:
Florence, the military prison, is about three miles

contains an area of thirtytwo acres, and is built of
logs egheeen feet long, Inserted in the ground to the
depth of four feet with small ditch inside and large
moat or ditch outside. The dirt is thrown up against
the tmbers on the inside of the enclosure, making
solid embankment some ten feet high, upon which our
sentinels posted day and night In each corner OF
the stockade there is large and substantial platform,
and on each platform two pieces OF artillery SO arranged
as to sweep any direction.
There are about sixteen thousand prisoners confned
in this Sockade They represent every State of the
Lincoln Empire, and many other nations besides but
the Emerald Isle is fully represented than any

in the advance on the Boydtown plank road. They
with thar comrades. Suddenly, however, they came
oat upon raroad-the Boathside railroad of course,
the very road they were looking for They set to work
upon it in trce and enthusiast ically tore up about
mile and half of it. Suddenly they hear the whistle
upon the uuweary passengers and satiate themselves
with plumber but the engineer danger ahead, and
stopa the locomotive with shrek. The Yankees had
