Our country is plunged into great
and exhaustive war--a war which 10 de-
.pleteing it of men and wealth, annihilat-
ing the elements OF its prcgrsss, and
drying up the sources Of its prosperity
with dreadful rspidity and yet the Dem
ocrats Of Indiaaa-if we are to Judge
By the resolutions passed at their late
convention at Indianapolis-are totslly
unaware Of the circumstance. This is
very remarkable. 1t can hardly be con-
ceived that the fact that war is raging
within the limits Of wkas was oace the

sequences not only to impovsrish the

to disrupt its society, overthrow its polit-

courage, and GOODNESS, and desperation
equal to their own, for the sturdy de
tenders of the hill did not give en- inch.
and when the time came for them to
charge back upon the staggering and
broken lines Of the enemy, they sprang
forth like tigers, and the day was won.
Gen. Dick Taylor, who was in command
of the enemy, it is said, Unanswered
his men splendidly, and displayed bet
ter generalship than on former occa-
sions
Gen. Banks was in front in both bat
ties, and at Pleasant Hill, it is said, he
was found in the skirmish line sitting on
his horse as calmly as if on review on
Canal street As the bullets buzzed
about his ears, his aids implored him
to fall back, saying, General, this is no
place fer you" but he stood unmoved,
and when the battle ragged highest, and
where the contest was most deadly,
after the onslaught had been made, he
was seen flying from front to front,
waving his hat and encouraging his
veterans. The generals on both sides,
it appears, were all in front, as though
they had set their lives upon the cast,
and it is singular how they escaped the
bullets of the sharp-shooters.
The losses in killed and wounded are
perhaps about equal, and will amount
to some 1000 or 1900 on each side. The
cavalry train, which was very small
one, and some II pieces of artillery
were lost on the first day, but we retook
several guns on the 9th, and are still
ahead four pieces since the campaign
commenced The train did not amount
to much, and had it been in its proper
position during the battle, it would not
have been lost Ambulances and am
munition wagons must of course be
taken on the field, but there is no ne
cessity for baggage train being so far
in front, or in such a position as to
block up the lines of retreat.
From all our informant says, we con
clude that the army is in a splendid
position, in the very best condition and
spirits, and eager for the advance, which
will not be long delayed Red River is
quito low at the falls just above Alexan-
dria, but the spring rise will soon come,
and that rise will herald the fail Of
Shreveport The Laurel Hill was not
molested on the way down, and there
is no enemy between New Orleans and
Pleasant Hill.

Harlkarl In japan.

A letter written by Frenchman re-
siding at Jeddo, and dated January 9,
contains the following
The japanese who yesterday passed
through the principal streets Of HOMO,
the aristOcratic quarter of JeddO, were
surprised to see not one, but fourteen,
houses covered from top to bottom with
white hangings, a sign that each OF
their owners, noble or some high
functionary, had been ordered by the
Tycoon to kill himself during the day
by ripping open his bowels On receiy-
ing notice the unhappy man makes i'm
mediate preparation for death. He
calls his friends and relatives around
him him, and with them be drinks rice
brandy, eats sweetmeats, and jests upon
the uncertainty of human affairs until
the arrival of the Imperial inspector,
sent to see the sentence executed On
his entrance the master of the house
rises, takes leave of his friends, and
passes into another room with the in
spector and two or three relations
After hearing the decree read the con-
demned man draws his sabre, makes
one cut across and another along his
abdomen, and lastly cuts his throat. 1t
often happens that man has only to
make the first cut. In that case trusty
servant standing behind for the pur-
pose, strikes off his head. No one had
any certain knowledge Of the offences
for which these fortsen personages were
condemned to death; but l heard that
they were suspected of being too sin
cere partizans Of the alliance with Eu-
ropeans. Another report was that they
had been engaged in some mysterious
conspiracy.

From Salisbury Prison.

Junius II. Brown, correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times, writes from the mill
tary prison at Salisbury, n c., as fol-
lows:
You mention in your note the con-
tents of the third box you have been so
good as to send me- thank you, An
die, for telling me; and should never
have known otherwise The first box,
with its successors, must have passed
into what the Brahmins of India call
the Nirvana, a state of humiliation as
l can learn nothing ofthem.
The remainder of the box sent by ex-
press from Richmond month ago, has
also entered the Invisible. We sup
posed as it had been broken open, and
more than half the supplies lost, that
we might get what was left, after wait
ing patiently and nearly furnishing for
ten or twelve weeks But it was or
dered otherwise. The Destinies are
opposed to all shipments for Salisbury
The difference between shipping goods
by regular trains and by express down
here seems this In the former case,
the boxes are generally broken open,
and contents stolen; in the latter, they
are never heard of after leaving Rich
mond The advantage of the express
it is efIicacy-in dissipating all trace Of
the goods and all recollection of their
existence
You can have no notion of the mode
of doing business in this section.
Everything is insecure. Several of the
railway companies have notified ship
pers that they will not be responsible
for freight whether stolen OF destroyed !;
and other companies viii follow their
example
