DESCRIPTION OF IMPORTANT POSITIONS
In GEQRGIA

Tunnel Hill is thirtY-one miles distant from
Chattanooga aud one hundred aud seven miles
from Atlanta. 1t is in Murray county, Georgia,
where the mountains come together, forming an
amphitheatre. 1t receives its name from tun-
mel which is AT feet long, IS feet high, aud
with a clear width of ID feet. It is cut in a
great measure, through solid rock, aud the ap-
proaches to it are protected on both sides by
massive masonry.
Dalton is seven miles beyond Tunnel Hill and
is one hundred aud ten miles by railroad from
Knoxville. 1t is the county seat of Whealfeld
county, and was laid out in 1916. Its location
is in q fertile valley, surrounded by mountains.
Dalton contains a steam flour and lumber bill,
and an extensive foundry. Its importance, in a
military point of view, consists in the fact that
it is naturally capable of formidable defence,
and is one of the angles of railroad triangle
whereof Chattanooga and Cleveland, Tennessee,
are the other corners.
the next important places south are Kingston
aud Rome. Kingston is seventy-nine miles from
Chattanooga and fifty ynine from Atlanta 1t is
a small village on the Western and Atlantic rail-
road, but is important as being the junction
point of the Rome Branch Railroad. Rome is
located twenty miles from Kingston, little
north Of west. 1t is the oounly seat Of Floyd
county, and is situated on several hills at the
confluence of the Etowah and Ostenaula, which
forms the Consa river. Steamboats, run up from
Mobile to Rome. There are two rolling mills
and two powder mills there.

A FIGHT IN DUBLIN-THE FENIAN BRO.
pHERUnnn

AT an immense meeting held at the Rotunla,
in Dublin, on the evening Of the 22l OF Feb
ruary, by 1.-THE 0'Douoghue" and Mr.. Sullivan,
of the Nation, to protest against the erection of
statue to Prince Albert in College Green, o
tremendous disturbance took place, ending in
fight
The first speaker was Mr.. Gill who said they
we're assembled to repudia!n the insult offered by
the corporation in preferring the Prince Consort
to Henry Grafton He called upon them to ex-
press their feelings like men, and 10 be like
brothers banded for fatherand under their
gifted leader, The O'Donoghue. lie begged
them to maintain calm and digniied demeanor
worthy of people who were struggling for
freedom.
The 0'Donoghue then attempted to speak, but
was int rrupted by men supposed to be members
Of the 'Fenan Brotherhood" A correspondent
Of the London Times thus describes the scene
that followed:
regular fight commenced on tue platform,
and simultaneously in several parts of the house
the battle ragged With the exception Of few
Of us who stood on form at the wall looking
on, the whole mass on the platform were engag
ed in q terrific struggle aourishing shillelahs,
boxing, thrOttling, tumbing over the chairs and
forms, sprawling on the boards, kicking, elling.
The Fenian men being we'll drilled aud com
manded, pressed on in such overwhelming force
that they carried the platform in about ten min
utes The 0Donoghue, Mr.. Sullivan and some
priests fled. The chairs aud tables were broken
up and converted into weapons the reporters
were knocked about and quickly lost in the agi-
tated mass. Tue victory was won, and the Sui.
lisanit were utterly yanquished. The victors
seized piece of green cloth that covered the
table, aud waved it as flag of triumph. This
put an end to the fighting throughout the room.
The Fenians kept waving their flg amid all
sorts Of noise and uproar for about an hour. A
priest attempted iu vain to get a hearing.

Kentucky, in the fall of 1862 Duke. with seven
companies of rebel guerrllas, came to the town
ior the purpose Of destroying it, though it was
Of no Importance to him, and entirely out of his
iine OF march. He planted battery on hill
oaok OF the town, not quarter Of q mile of, and
immediately commenced sheling it without Civ
ing moments warning for the removal of the
women and children. When his forces came
doWn into the place, they were resisted by about
one hundred citizens, who took refuge in the
houses for this purpose For this resistance
they were doomed. The houses were burned,
and the wounded, not allowed to be removed
from them, were burned in them; men were
shot town alter their surrender, and tne prison
ers were treated with marked indiguity and
cruelty The order was given to kill every I'm
Ion man IN the place, aud the order would,
doubtless, have been carried into effect but for
the approach of aid 1t may be mentioned here
that the few Union citizens who took an active
part IN the hight did good service Duke lost in

On tae arrival Of the Uuion prisoners at Lex

there Kept for several days. In council of off

threatened to resign if it were not done; nor was

THE CASE on BAsTL DUKE.

We published on Tuesday a paragraph de-
describing the entertainment in Philadelphia
Of the no orious Basil Duke, prisoner of war,
by the Union officer, Major johnson, who
had him in charge, which has called forth the
following general denial from the last EVeRing
Star;
Not so. Colonel Basil Duke, the noted guer-
lila, was lodged in Fort Felaware, Saturday
evening by Major Johnson, of General Heintzel-
mans staff The statement of the Philadelphia
Press, copied in morning contemporary, rela-
tive to feastng the Colonel at the Continental
Hotel there, &c we learn is mis- statement of
the facts. The prisoner reached Philadelphia
too late for the steamer, and was taken to the
hotel simply because Major Johnson had no
knowledge of any other party of prisoners, or of
any place Of imprisonment for prisoners of war
in the city. The Colonel was closely guarded
during his stay at the hotel, and had also given
his parole not to attempt to escape. He only
partook Of the regular meals, and was treated
during his entire stay as prisoner. The num-
erous friends Of Major Johnson in Washington
claim this explanation, and it is to be regretted
that any reporter should have exercised his
imagination at the expense Of gallant officer.
With no desire to do injustice to either side,
and yet resolved to preserve the history of the
case, we copy the following additional communi-
cation from The Press of Thursday;
BASIL DUKE, THE GUERILLA.
To The Editor Of the Press:
SIR II was with no small degree Of indigna-
tion that we read in your paper notice ct the
reception of the rebel Basil Duke at the Conti-
mental, on Friday last Certainly, no one who
! is acquainted with the past Of this mans life

TURKISH PoLiTENEss.-A few years ago there
was generous Turkish ambassador in England.
When any lady happened to praise one of the
handsome shawls that decorated his person he
Immediately presented it TO her. This led 10 a
very general expression Of admiration for his
excellency's shawls and, in consequence, to a
great diminuton Of the elnbassadorial wardrobe.
At last, when his excellency's stock was reduced
to the one he wore, upon lady fondly express
ing her admiration of it's beauty, instead of his
former reply, "Madam, 1t is at your service" he
said, with Turkish composure, but with more
than Turkish gallantry, "Madam, am glad you
like il | shah wear il for your sake."

BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.
Oh lively youth, rejoiced to glide,
Across the Sehuylkill's frozen tide.
What bliss thy bosom knows,
When by thee some fair skater skins
Whose sparkling eye with pleasure swims,
Whose check with crimson glows
But like all joys Of earthly day,
That ice did soon dissolve away,
Nor left a trace behind;
And you, who've sported on its plain,
Must, now it's turned to waves again,
Some new diversion find.
When Spring with verdure clothes the meal,
Then mount and gallop forth your steed,
So metlesome and feet
Or push ysur light batteau from shore,
And make your sturdy arm, your oar
The fOaming waters beat.
Thus may you hope to interest
Each gazing damsePs artless breast,
Who gladly will behold
A graceful youth, intent to please,
Pursuing manly sports like these,
So active and so bold
But yet, to captivate the eye,
With all your grace, in vain you'll try,
If dressed in uncouth guise,
And nowhere are there suits so nice,
For Springs green leaves, or Winters ice,
As Tower HALL supplies.
