Important TO those designing TO
Cross the Plains this Spring.

ST. LOUIS, March H.--Gen. Pope, from
headquarters at Milwaukee, has published
some information suggestive to emigrants
designing to cross the plains this spring, in
| winch he says indications point to the con-
centration OF most powerful bands of Sioux
Indians early In the spring on the Missouri
above the mouth of Grand river. A large
force of cavalry under General Riley. will
march against these Indians soon. Grass
on the prairies will subsist animals. Until
this expedition moves it will be unsafe for
steamers to navigate the Missouri above
Fort Pierre. General Sully's force will be
strong enough to beat the advance If found
concentrated on this river. If this concen-
tration Is not made, heavy forces of cavalry
VIII sconr the country on both sides of the
river and drive the Indians into tile interior,
pursue them during the summer and either
force them to battle or peace.
1t Is recommended that emigrants by
water, will communicate with Gen. Sully
on the Upper Mississippi, and not attempt
to pass in above his forces until notified bv
him that 1t will be safe. As many steamers
as possible are advised to 90 in company
Vulnerable parts of boats should be render
ed 6ullet-proof Emigrants travelling over
land from points above Fort Pierce, are
recommended not to start from the Missouri
river In bodies of less than three hundred
strong. A cavalry force will be sent from
Minnesota as soon as possible for Missouri
river, near the mouth of Long Lake, and
emigrants from that State can avail them
selves Of protection from this force. If they
choose. General Pope hopes by the middle
OF summer to render travel across any por-
ton OF the upper plains as safe as it usually
IL, Dut enloins emi0rants tu move cautiously
and in strong parties.

The HorELs-THE STATE CONVENTIONS
The extraordinary amount of travel al
this season has filled all the hotels in the
city to overtlowing. Every night late
comers are compelled to search from one
end of the town to another for bed, and
often in vain. All the hotels are and have
been for weeks past doing adj the business
their establishments were intended to trans
act; and if the hotels are not large enough
to accommodate all mankind, it is not the
fault Of the landlords.
The Democratic State Convention takes
place next Wednesday, when there will un-
doubtediy be an immense crowd Of stran-
gers present, and with the present crowded
state of the hotels it will become the duty
of the city Democracy either to make some
arrangements with the landlords to retain
rooms for the delegates, or to throw open
their own houses for the reception and ac-
commodation of our friends. We suggest
that the Democracy at their Ward meetings
on Saturday night take this matter under
consideration, and decide upon the propri-
ETY. Of appointing committe in each Ward.
to provide accommodations for the State
Convention.

from Matagorda Bay, March 9TH. On the
morning of the 18th, Sam, steamer, ap-

chase with all sails set; at II o'clock She

bales OF cotton they had thrown over board
AT three o'clock the wind suddenly died
away, and the prize almost within our grasp

dark, she having slightly gained upon us
aiter the breeze; at dark we lost sight of
her, and we kept the ship off to her course
to Hampton Roads. ..t

A Freight Train Attacked by
GuerrilIas.

LOUISVILLE, March 17.-Specials to the
journal say guerrillas attacked a freight
train from Nashville, near Estelle Springs
ON the night of the 10th; after displacing a
rail by which the train was thrown off the
track and burned, Capt. Beartlsley of the
l23d New York and seven men arrived at
Dechard, Tenn, on a hand car, having been
paroled after being stripped of clothing,
money, watches and jewelry. The rebels
Killed three negroes on the train; two guer-
rillas were killed-no other losses. The

The Rebel Virginia Legislature.

New YORK. March 1.-THE Virginia
Senate has resolved to ask Congress to place
three Federal soldiers at hard labor-one
with ball and chain on the public streets
in retaliation for the sentences of Gen. But
Ter on Messrs. Balm, Hoges and Wingfield
at Norfolk.
The General Assembly has issued an ad-
dress to the people OF Virginia, stating that
submission to the enemy who has exhaust
ed every infamy, is not endurable, even in
thought, and urging them to renewed effort
for victory.
The story of the Fitzpatrick raid is told
anew as an incentive to exertion. One
more resolute effort says the address, and
the day is ours.
The address speaks of Dahlgren as fit
associate in infamy with Butler and a host
OF lesser criminals who have disgraced hu-
manity.
The Examiner of the 18th reports that
the Federals have retreated toward Knox
vile, and indications of an early engage

THE CITY.

"A Bcreaved Wife Travels from NASH
willie to Columbus i'm Search
of Her Husba nd.-She
Finds Him.

One of the fair daughters of the Sunny
South celebrated the new year in the city
of Nashville by uniting herself in the gold
D en- bondsof matrlnony with commissary's
clerk connected with an Ohio regiment
quartered about that tcity. The young gen
tleman was like the secretary to Dogberry,
possessed Of some good looks, which were
the result of art, and knew howto read and
write, which was the gift of nature; the
young lady in addition to these qualities,
was supposed to possess what is of more
value than either as the world goes for
u tune. The couple lived in happiness for
the extraordinary period of one month,
when the clerk received discharge and
came North, promising to return on the
wings of love in the shortest time and by
f the quickest route. A month passed but
the husband did not return, and the
bereaved wife began to suspect that
the charms of the home in Rich
land county would extinguish the memory
Of the Nashville happiness f7
' She accordingly came to Ohio, hunted
down her delinquent husband, and finally
traced him to Columbus. With many lam
entations she made known her multiplied
wrongs to the police and invoked their as
sistance in discovering the clerk. Night
before last the young gentleman was traced
to house on Front street, under suspicious
circumstances. The injured wife was in
formed of the fact, and she hastened to ac-
tho nffsoa,. tr I,a 1,o,eo fl,o
lost partner of her welded joys had en-
tered. The wife and officer unceremoniously
entered the house together and the by this
time infuriated lady plunged frantically in
to the first bed chamber, and found the tru-
ant in bed, but not alone! Another female
of easy virtue and undoubted character
sprang from the couch and stoutly MAIN
tanned that she had prior claim upon the
husband, by reason of longer and more in
innate acquaintance. A dreadful scene of
violence and confusion ensued, which was
only terminated by the policeman carrying
the subject of dispute to the city prison.
The duped and deluded wife was firm and
furious In her determination to have the
delinquent sent to the Penitentiary forth
with, for adultery, bigamy, or. whatever of
Tense was most convenient under the stat
ute of Ohio.
The hearing of the case was postponed
by Mayor Thomas until afternoon, to afford
an opportunity for tho deceived wife to con-
troll her feelings and subdue her indigna-
tion. At three O'Clock the case was heard,
and those acquainted with such affairs in
police courts can easily guess the denoue-
ment. A few sighs, few soft words and
several hard pledges on the part of the hus-
banda flood of complaints, score of hys-
terical sobs, a tragic flourish of cambria
handkerchief and the pair became recon-
ciled. He pleaded guilty to disorderly con-
duct, she liquidated his fine, and the twain
departed so lovingly as to recall to the
mind of an officer the beautiful lines of In
gomar and Parthenia:
