The Massacre at Fort Pillow.

On Tuesday morning, the 18th OF
April, Forces, with some six thousand
men, attacked Fort Pillow. Soon after
the attack Forrest sent "a flag of truce
demanding the surrender of The fort and
garrison, in the meanwhile disposing his
force so as to gain an advantage. Maj.
Booth, of the / thirteenth tennessee ~.
5. Heavy Artillery, formerly the FIRST
Alabama Cavalry (colored) refused to
receive the flag of truce, and fighting
was resumed. Afterwards second flag
came in, which was also refused. Both
flags gave the rebels the advantage OF
gaining new positions.
The battle vas kept up till 3 o'clock
p. NJ. when Major Boob was killed and
Major Bradford took command The
rebels had come i'll swarms over to our
troops, compelling them to surrender
immediately upon the surrender the
rebels commenced an indiscrminate
butchery of the whites and blacks, in
GLIDING those of bo,h coIors who had
been previously wounded. The dead
and wounded prisoners were piled in
heaps aud burned, and several citizens
who joined our forces for protection were
killed or wounded.
The black soldiers, becoming democrat
lied, rushed to the rear, their whi;o Of
icers having thrown down their arms
Both black and white were bayoneted,
shot or sabred, and even dead bodies
were horribly mutilated. Children of
seven or eight years of age, and several
negro women, were killed. Soldiers un-
able to speak, from their wounds, we're
shot dead, and their bodies rolled down
the banks into the river.
The Star says, according to General
Sherman's report, our loss was fly white
troops killed und 100 wounded, and 800
black troops murdered in cold blood af-
ter the surrender.
The steamer Platte Valley came up
about o'clock. She was hailed by the
rebels under flag of truce, and her
men sent ashore to bury the dead and
take aboard such of the wounded as the
rebels had allowed to live. Fifty-seven
were taken aboard, including seven or
eight eolored men.
Six guns were captured by the rebels,
and carried off, including two lO-pound
PARROTS and two 12-pound howitzsrs.-
a large amount of stores were destroyed
and carried away. The intention of the
rebels seemed to be to evacuate the place
and move on towards Memphis.

The New Glass Zee Hive and
Honey Box.

wv. WARREN, THREE OAKS, MICHIGAN.
DESCRIPTION l. The device con-
sists of a round Bee Hive and Honey
Box, the sides ofwhich are constructed of
wood and glass. The glass Aays in and
is fas ened with tin brads' A common
barrel with one head out forms cover,
shades the glass and regulates the tenn
peraturc. Two scolloped narrow boards
constitute stand
2. The box turns on pivot in the
centre and has holes in the bottom,
corresponding to similar holes in the top
of the hive. BY turning the box the
communica ion between the Hive aud Box
may be opened or closed.
3. The Hive is thoroughly ventilated;
the air entering underneath ana passing
ont near the top of the hive and barrel.
The vcntilatng holes in the hive are
defended with wire cloth The bees
enter and leave the hive on inclined
board through the centre of the bottom
of the hive.
ADVANTAGE OF THIS Hive AND Box.
|. 1t is adapted to the natural shape of
a swarm of bees. Bees cluster around
the queen during the cold weather
leaving the four corners Of square hive
unoccupied. Mo,hs operate in these
corners being kept alive by the warmth
Of the bees. This fact gave the idea OF
q round hive as being the true shape
adapted to the nature of the honey bee;
especially as defence against the moth
2. The great facility it affords for
observing the operations of the bees.
The cover can be easily removed without
disturbing the bees, and then every part
of the hive and box may be inspected
with safety.
2. During extreme heat when bees IT
common hives cease work and cluster or
The ontside ventilation and dead all
space Of this structure, so modify the
temperature that the bees continue al
their labor unaffected by the heat, anc
making more honey than usual during
summer. and the hive being double
the bees consume less in winter, and
come out strong in the spring.
1. The beautiful finish of honey de-
posted in the box of this hive caused BY
the cveupess of The temperature. Hone.
made in this device took the First Pre-
minms at the laso Michigan and Illinois
State Fairs.

care.
=. Easily managed. A new swarm
gently deposited near the entrace Of the
hive, with the cover on, will readily ente
and commence work Immediately.
7. Simplicity and cheapness Of con-
struc'ion. Any man who can use tool
can make one; it COSTS but little NOR,
than a common hive, with stand ans
box.
This device which took the drst pre-
miuIns at the Illinois State Fair, in 1868
has been used the passed two seasons
with great success. A patent for thi
