A Little Girl Murdered by a Boy.
LYoNs, Love, July 25th, ls04.

LAD 6AONSi 1Vha3 ouiJ JILL ACO4-.
One of the most atroeious acts We ever
heard of being perpetrated by one so young,
transpired near this city on Saturday last.
From the account furnished Us by one of
the Coroner's jury, we CLEAN the following
facts:
Upon an island, near Elkriver township
there lives family named Roberts. Their
son, a lad of only fourteen years OF. age
evinces the hardihood OF a most hardened
wretch. On Saturday last he invited a
couple of little girls to cross the slough
with him for the purpose Of seeing him
drown g cat, and, as ne says, have some
fun" The deceased, little girl only nine
years old, with her companion, readily ac-
ceded, and crossed with him. He had no
cat, and without making any excuse for
the deception, that we can learn, invited
them to come up TO the house. lie preced-
ed them, and they followed. When he ar
rived ut the house they were a rod or two
behind. He stood still and told them not
to come any nearer. They, child-like,
naturally supposed him in fun, and contin-
ued advancing He told them mot to
come any nearer or be would shoot them"
They did not halt and lie deliberately
took down bis fathers rifle, which had been
loaded for the boy TO shoot their neighbors
dogs with, should they trespass upon their
ground. He took deliberate aim and fired,
the ball taking effect in the abdomen, and
passing through, lodged in the opposite
hip. The little girl fingered in great ag-
ony, and died this (Monday) morning.
She is daughter Of Mr.. Peterson, an hon
est fisherman Of this city. Witnesses have
been summoned, and the AFFAIR viii be in
vestigated Tomorrow, and no doubt young
Roberts will be apprehended. These are
substantially the facts, as testifiedt to before
hecoroners inquest. Ifmore particulars
of interest transpire at the investigation,
your correspondent will furnish them to
you. We are told that be had threatened
to shoot another girl in the neighborhoOd.
Such early depravity is surely trightful.

e. Fessenden,s Appeal to the People.
6 I'VE have already urged upon cur read
ers the responsibilities and advantages at
taching to an interest in the new national
popular loan Of two hundred millions
of dollars, which Mr.. Fessenden has called
for, and we again invoke their serious in
.terest in the work of supplying the means
of carrying on the war to a triumphant
success.
Mr.. Fessenden, after careful deibera-
ton, has decided that the only safe rei-
ance for the Treasury Department. is upon
taxation and popular loans. He has wise
ly resolved not to increase the pleth ora of
the money market by further issue Of
greenbacks. The receipts from the Inter-
nal Revenue Bill promise to realize be-
tween three and four hundred millions of
dallars during the coming year. If the
people, who have the money, will come
forward to the support of the government
our finances may be maintained in the
most healthy state, the prices of all arti-
cl may be brought down, the value of all
government bonds greatly advanced, and
the finances of the nation be placed upon
a basis as sound as any in the world.
Mr. Fessenden offers an interest of
$40 per cent, payable seinianHually,
for a three eeyearloan, payable in cash, or con
vertable when due at the holders option
into gold paying six per cent bond,
having not less than five years to run.
The interest on each bond is precisely one
cent per day on every fifty dollars invest
ed. The bonds are exempt from general
and local taxation, and as the interest can
be easily counted, can be readily bought
and sold
If peace shall come within the coming
year, as we a1dently hope, these bonds
will be worth their full face in gold,
though gold is tso much of "a premium
at present.
The language OF the 1rlDuhe IN appeal
ing to the loyal people, should be taken
home to every heart.
Patriots your bleeding country calls
loudly for your add Most of her soldiers
are still unpaid the money due them on
the first inst. heavy requisitions impend
over the Treasury; while the Currency,
perniciously expanded because her iabili-
ties could not otherwise be met, can only
be contracted by your lending her the
means. Half the money now lying onSie-
post in banks or kept idle In safes or
pocket-books, would relieve her embarrss-
ment and reduce the prices of Food, Coal,
Goods &c, to the neighbOrhood of reason.
But do not stop with half-lend your coun-
try every dollar you can spare, and sell or
collect freely in order that you may spare
the more. So shall the last perils of our
great struggle be vanquished, and the end
of all your tolls an sacrifices be nobly
achieved

Capture and burning of Pdducah, Ry., bv
the Rebel Forrest.

Capture aud burning Of Paducah, N.Y., By
the Rebel Forrest.
CAIRO, H., March &c. u
Reports were circulated here this morning
that the rebels under Forrest attacked Padu-
cab, KY, fifty miles above here, yesterday, and
burned part of the town, but as telegraphic
communication is cut off, no authentic infor-
nation can be obtained.
Ldter.-The steamer Joseph Pearce, from
Nashville, which passed Paducah at Z o'clock
this morning, brings the following account of
it:
Gen. Forrest, with an estimated force of five
thousand men, captured the place at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and sacked and fred the
city. Col Hicks, commanding the post. &C.
cupied the fort below the city with about 500
men. The rebels made four assaults on the
fort, and were repulsed each time. Three of
our gunboats opened on the city during its oc-
cupation by the enemy. A large portion of
the city was burned, including the marine
railway, the steamer Argova, and the wharf
boat
About three thousand of the inhabitants
moved across the river upon hearing of the
approach Of the rebels. AT the time the
Pearce passed the enemy had left, and the
people were returning TO the city and the fires
were dying out. The amount of public and
private property captured is unknown at pres
ent, but is supposed to be large. Our loss is
twelve killed and forty wounded. From $50
to 800 rebels are reported killed, among them
Gen. Thompson. Twenty-Five houses around
the fort were destroyed by our troops, as they
were used by the rebel sharpshooters as a
screen. The headquarters and government
storehouses were burned by me enemy.

WASHINGTON. March II.
There is the best authority for saying that
no national banking association has yet been
authorized to receive subscriptions on account
OF the national 1910 loan. Letters are in
preparation, however, and will be Immediately
forwarded to all national banking associations
which have been qualified and designated as
repositories and financial agents, authorizing
them to act as agents in receiuing subscrip-
tons for the 10-40 loan. The compensation
allowed is one-fourth of one per cent out of
which the cost of advertising and all other
expenses are to be paid.
Gov Bramlette, of Kentucky, and ex-Sena-
tor Dixon, OF the same State, who arrived
here Friday, are still in Washington. Their
business with the President is in reference to
the draft. Those who profess to be well ac-
quainted with the subject confidently say that
no difficulty is apprehended as to the execu-
ton of the draft under the amendatory enroll
ment act in that State, and that all proper
measures will be taken by the Government to
prevent military excuses or any contraven-
ton OF the rights of citizens; and, moreover,
they assert that Kentucky will probably fur
nished her full quota under the draft
For several days past our streets haye been
