INDIANA SOLDIERS FROZEN TO DEATH
On New Years eve, while near Osce-
ola, after investigating a supposed case
of smuggling, .Lieut Edwin Alexander
and seven men of Company B, SD In
diana, and a citizen named Lazer, were
cast ashore on a sand bar, being unable
to manage the skff in which they were
returning to Fort Pillow. Lazer, and
one soldier named Tom Bannister, sue
ceeded in pushing off the skiff, but the
wind and current bore it away, and it
soon became so 'unmanageable that they
could not get back to land to aid their
comrades The wind sent them across
to the Arkansas shore, and they passed
the night in the woods. New Year day
they reported to Col Wolfe, commanding
at Fort Pillow. He Immediately sent a
party in search of the missing men.
They were all found, frozen to death.
The following are the names of the de-
ceased: Second Lieutenant Edwin Alex
ander, Company B, SD Ind; priyates
N. W. Palkenberg, VIM Tyler, James
Hendrickson, David Dean, George VIII
son and George Horton
Gen. Smiths expedition has been
heard from, having reached jackson,
Tennessee, without serious difficulty.

The "Peaceu Democracy.

The New York NeSos, speaking of the
Democratic Congressional caucus held
to fix the time and place for the next
Democratic National Convention, says:
At that caucus the speakers were Sena-
tors Powell and Salisbury, and Messrs
j. G. Allen, Robertson, Holman, Cox,
Pendleton, Fernando Wood and others
of the House of Representatives Not
one of these gentlemen advocated or in
timated desire for war platform. On
the contrary every allusion made to the
subject was against war. Senators Pow
ell and Salisbury and Mayor Wood de-
nouncedi it boldly, and no speaker took
opposite ground" y 'l- y
THE only business transacted was
the appointment Of a special committee
of two from the Senate and FIVE from
the House, to whom was referred the
whole subject, including fixing time
and place to hold the next Democratic
National Convention The following gen
tlemen composed this committee; Davis
Of Kentucky and Hendricks of Indi-.
ana, ,on the part Of the Senate, and
Messrs, J. C. Allen ofIllinois; Fernando
Wood of New York Wm. G. Steel of
New Jersey; Bliss of Ohio, and Miller
Of Pennsylvania, on the part of the
House. T1 pu
"If the sentiments of the gentlemen
on this subject are Of any consequence,
We know that a majority are openly avow-
ed peace men. .i anl .-a5ioGsi :
1.-The fact is that seven-eighths of the
Democratic members of Congress are
the friends of peace and opposed to the
war. This wilDbe made apparent before
the close of the session, and be more full
ly manifested in the next national con-
vention"

BELLE MEMPHIs SEIzED-The Louis
Vile Journal says:
The steamer Belle Memphis, belong
ing to the st. Louis and Memphis packet
company, was seized, upon her arrival
from Memphis, at the Cairo levee, by or
der of Rear Admiral D. D. Porter, on
Saturday morning, and guards placed
upon the decks, in the Office and cabin,
and every otherimportant place Every
thing attached TO the boat was taken
possession of, but private property, such
as express goods, freight, ETC., was put
off, aud the mail was sent to the post
office. Some curiosity has been felt,
since the steamer was ordered to Cairo
under arrest, to know the reason fer
this procedure, 1t appears that Geo.
+. Thompson, the man who attempted to
smuggle the one hundred thousand per,
cussion caps into Tennessee, was pas
senger on her, and was put ashore at
Island 81. This is the reason why she
is in limbo. 1t is said that great deal
of smuggling has been and is being car;
ried on by persons travelling ut
and down the Mississippi river, anc
Rear Admiral Porter has received very
strict orders on the subject
