THE LATEST NEWS.

Important Victory in the Southwest.
Thefollowing briefdespatch, dated Carlo March
"a announces an important victory in the South
West:-
eve have good news from the Red River ex-
petition, which comes from undoubted authori-
ty. Gen. A. J. Smith landed his forces from
transports a few miles below Fort De Russey.-
The rebel Gen. Taylor promptly marched against
him with his whole force, and attacked him in
his rear. Gen. Smith, instead of attempting to
keep up communication with the river, proceed
ed by forced marches toward the fort. When
Taylor saw the trick, he started for the same des
tlnatlon, and for time the race seemed doubt
full But finally the Yankee came out three hours
a ahead, capturing the fort and II guns, four Of
them PARROTS, one an 11-inch, and several 49,
FOUNDERS, and also 27O prisoners. This gives
Gen. Smith strong foothold in the country, and
will enable Admiral Porter to proceed to Alex
andria with his gunboats without opposition
Our losses were seven killed and forty wounded.
The rebel loss was five killed and four wounded
The credit of the victory belongs entirely to the
army, the gunboats not having participated in
the engagement Fort De Russey is a strong
earthwork, situated at bend of the Red Rever
and is famous as the place where Col Ellet lost
the ram Queen of the West, in February, 1853

A Man Without a Country.

The 4tlantic Monthly for December con-
tains story as terrible in its episodes as it Is
fearful in its warnings. Below we give an
outline of it sufficiently comprehensive to en-
able the reader to form judgment Of its
character: .......
Philip Nolan, in 1907, was lieutenant in
the army Of the West. He fell in with Aaron
Burr, and was seduced by that accomplished
traitor into sympathy with his schemes;
During Burr's trial Nolan was contaminated
at Fort Adams, Mississippi as much in fun
as anything else, by his brother ofhcrrs.
When asked why sentence should not be pro-
nOunced upon him for treason, he anSrily cH-
claimed: "Damn the United States. wish
NAV never hear Of the United States again
This was too much for the loyalty OF the
court, which was composed in part OF he'o
lutionary officers; and they, after consulta-
ton, and laying aside the humor in which the
trial had been conducted, decided that MS
wish should be gratifed.
The sentence, afterwards approved BY
President Jefferson, ordered him into the ma
w. Instructions were given that never IN hi.
presence should the name Of the United
States be uttered that Ire should never be
permitted to see his native land, and that his
reasonable desire should be satisfied to the
letter. For more than half q century (hc
died last summer in the Leyant) the wretched
man knew nothing Of the United States.
From those who surrounded him he could
pain no intelligence. From all books and
papers that came within his reach every I'll
lusion TO his country was carefully cut OUT
the buttons which he wore on his coat bore
no insignia; he fought in the war OF lsiZ
without knowing wherefore; he was repeated
ly tantalized by homeward voyages, which
terminated rs soon as an outward bound res-
sci was met; he was ignorant Of the growth,
prosperity, and increased importance OF the
country he had cursed; exc: craving some
scrap of history, Which WAS ca.elully kept
from him.
He became unutterabiy wrctcAcd--literally
homeless, until ne found ceui.tty beyond
the grave. Miserable in this hJr ible isoia-
ton, dragging out an existence prolonged be
yond the usual life of man, it was not unit.
he lay upon his death-bed that briefly he
learned the story of his countrys greatness,
but happily heard nothing OF the sad story o!
its present woe, which sprang from the fulhl-
ment and the execution Of arathemaS SINH
lar to that which fell from his lips, and which
was brought on by more successful consplfa-
tors than the one who sowed the seeds OF
treachery in his heart. He died repentant,
and begged that his epitaph might be: " lie
loved his country as 10 other man had loved
her; but no man had deserved less At her
hands"
Whether or not this story be true, i; is at
least, an allegory Of striking Significance. II
shows what would be the condition of many
man, to-day, if the muttered curse or the
disloyal wish were fulfilled and gratitied as it
ought TO be.
